title: The Life and Teachings of al-Maghili, With Particular Reference to the Saharan Jewish Community.
Creators: name: Gwarzo, Hassan Ibrahim
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1972

description: The importance of Abu CAbdullah Muhammad b. CAbdulkarim b. Muhammad al-Maghili as a Muslim missionary has been recognised in a general fashion by many an eminent scholar but no comprehensive study on him has yet been undertaken. This thesis attempts to give an account of the life al-Maghili and his teachings in an effort to understand his personality, his behaviour and the degree, of his contribution to the spread of Islam and Islamic culture in the Maghrib, the Sahara and Western Sudan. The primary concern of this study is al-Maghili Islamic teaching in general and, in particular, his teaching concerning the Jews of Tuwat. The thesis falls into six parts. Part one consists of one chapter which gives an introduction and a background. The introduction explains the purpose of the study and the sources upon which it has been based. The background contains an outline history of some of the petty kingdoms of the Maghrib and the situation of the Arabs and the Jews in as and Tuwat during the Marinid period. Part two attempts, in one chapter to give a comprehensive biography of al-Maghili's from his birth to his death. Part three also in one chapter explains briefly the wider context of al-Maghili's teachings, which include religious, political and social teachings. Part four consists of three chapters, a critical edition and a full translation of al-Maghili's treatise concerning the Jews and discusses, in the light of generally accosted Islamic views, the teachings contained in it. It also protrays and discusses in a like manner the controversy centred around the Jewish synagogue. The conclusion seeks to emphasise the personality and behaviour of al-Maghili, the significance of his teachings and actions, his successes and failures, and his influences. Part six is made up of ten appendices which include new editions of two more of al-Maghili's treatises, a list of his works, a tree of his purported pedigree and other items.

description: We completely characterize Birkhoff-James orthogonality with respect to numerical radius norm in the space of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space. As applications of the results obtained, we estimate lower bounds of numerical radius for $n\times n$ operator matrices, which improve on and generalize existing lower bounds. We also obtain a better lower bound of numerical radius for an upper triangular operator matrix.
title: Muslim Brotherhoods and Social Change in Some Societies in West Africa.
Creators: name: Adams, Raymond A.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1972

description: Muslim Brotherhoods have been prominent feature in the spread of Islam in West Africa. Missionaries and traders from North Africa brought with them the cult of baraka, a spiritual power which inhered in certain holy men and was transmitted to their disciples who formed a tariqa or Sufi brotherhood. The leaders of the brotherhoods became focal points of loyalty and obedience within a network of religious centres scattered throughout West Africa. In this way the brotherhoods formed cohesive groupings over a wide geographical area which cross-cut ethnic ties. The religious obligations and ritual practices of the tariqas enabled the members to maintain close relationships with one another. As a result, the brotherhood leaders emerged as rivals of the traditional rulers who had been the patrons of the holy men. The jihads of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries aimed at eliminating those rulers and chiefs who refused to accept the stringent religious ethic advocated by the Muslim leaders and establishing in their place theocratic sates under the rule of the religious reformers. The policies pursued by the two colonial powers the area altered the course of events. In Nigeria, the British policy of Indirect Rule gave a large measure of autonomy to the Fulani Emirs who were members of the Qadiriyya Brotherhood and had gained power through the jihad of Uthman dan Fodio. In Senegal the Muslim leaders and the semi-pagan rulers joined in an uneasy alliance to defeat the French. When Wolof resistance to the French collapsed, the Calonial Administration destroyed the indigenous political system by replacing hereditary rulers with appointees of the central govern eat. As a result, the Muslim leaders became the sole representatives of popular aspirations. The agricultural policy sponsored by the French enabled the Muslim leaders to rally their followers by encouraging them to engage in groundnut production. Thus, the leaders of the Muridiyya and Tijaniyya Brotherhoods managed to achieve a nodal position in the economic life of Senegal. Because of their acknowledged religious and economic position the Brotherhoods have continued to play a decisive role in Senegalese political development even after independence. In Nigeria the Fulani Emirs discouraged brotherhood activity along their Hausa subjects. During the post-war period when Nigeria was preparing for self-governments the Fulani viewed the end of Indirect Rule as a threat to their monopoly of political power in the Northern Region. The dramatic increase in the activity of the Tijaniyya order at that time indicated the extent of popular resent tent felt by the Hausa with regard to the Fulani rulers. Hence in both regions the activity of the brotherhoods is a sign and a symptom of profound social and political changes.

title: Problems and the Present Status of Social Education in the Punjab Since Independence (1947).
Creators: name: Wassi, Ranbir Singh
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1973

description: The aim of this study is to look into the problems and present status, and the development of social education in the Punjab since 1947. A considerable stress has been laid upon the rural reconstruction in the light of the development of social education. The first chapter describes the life, habits and customs of the Punjabis who are somewhat different from other Indians, It also explains that social education is, perhaps more required in the Punjab than in other Indian states, The second chapter attempts to define social education which does not include adult literacy only but also health and hygiene, occupations, citizenship and many other elements. Social education has been treated in its broadest sense. Attempt has also been made to determine that psychologically adults can really learn, perhaps much quicker than the younger generation. In the third chapter, a brief historical survey of social education since 1947 has been given. The history of social education reveals the different stages in its development and describes its present status. In chapter four is given an account of the survey of Sarangpur, a typically Punjabi village near Chandigarh, the Punjab capital. This chapter also reveals how a Punjabi village is quite unlike a Punjab city with regard to modern amenities, ways of living and social habits. In the fifth chapter, an attempt has been made to assess the assistance of mass communication media to social education. The use of audio-visual aids in social education has also been considered. It has also been suggested that the education of children and women, and the social education of the adult reinforce each other. The final chapter states the causes of the failure of social education in the Punjab and possible remedies to bring about improvement in social education.

description: We present new upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator defined on a complex Hilbert space, which improve on the existing bounds. Among many other inequalities proved in this article, we show that for a non-zero bounded linear operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H,$ $w(T)\geq \frac{\|T\|}{2}+\frac{m(T^2)}{2\|T\|}, $ where $w(T)$ is the numerical radius of $T$ and $m(T^2)$ is the Crawford number of $T^2$. This substantially improves on the existing inequality $w(T)\geq \frac{\|T\|}{2} .$ We also obtain some upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of operator matrices and illustrate with numerical examples that these bounds are better than the existing bounds.

title: Extradition Law and Practice in Egypt and Other Arab States.
Creators: name: Khadr, Said Hussein Youssef
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1977

description: The present thesis is essentially a study of extradition law and practice in Egypt and other Arab States. It is a study of case law and relevant statutory provisions on the subject. Cases dealing with similar problems in English, American and Civil Law countries have been taken into consideration. The introduction dwells upon the importance of extradition in modern times, as well as the new forms of mutual assistance in criminal matters which have emerged between groups of nations having geographical or political affinity. Chapter I gives the details of the historical background to extradition in the Ancient Egyptian times, Islamic Law, as well as during the period of the 19th Century when Egypt was under the suzerainty of the capitulation system. Chapter II deals with the sources of extradition, which is preceded by a discussion on the continued enforcement of extradition treaties concluded by Egypt prior to the Montreux Convention, 1937, and the problems of state succession. Dealing with the substantive law of extradition. Chapter III covers the acts for which extradition can be granted with details of territorial jurisdiction and its extensions, as well as the principle of double criminality. In Chapter IV, restrictions on extradition have been considered, including exclusion of surrender for reasons relating to the nature of the offence, the nationality of the claimed person, the type of punishment to be inflicted in the requesting state, and for other procedural grounds such as "Non B is in Idem" and prescription of the offence or punishment. Chapter V covers the legal procedures for extradition, giving details of the different authorities responsible for examining requests for surrender In Egypt and other Arab States, and the quantity of prima facie evidence of guilt required therein. Chapter VI deals with the effects of extradition in which there are certain limitations upon the requesting state, such as the rule of speciality and re-extradition to a third state. Chapter VII offers a distinction between extradition, deportation, abduction, demanding prosecution of the person requested, domestic execution of foreign penal judgments and the right of asylum. The Resolutions adopted by the Tenth International Penal Law Congress in Rome, 1969, on Question IV (Extradition) have also been considered; in particular , those on the role and rights of the individual In the extradition system and specific human rights guarantee. Suggestions have been made towards the enactment of a new Extradition Law in Egypt; amending the framing of rules under the laws of Arab States; making the role of Interpol more effective in this field and recognizing the Human Rights of the individual.

title: Decentralisation of Power in the Federated Malay States, 1920-1929.
Creators: name: Ghosh, Kalyan Kumar
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1976

description: Following a Prologue explaining the importance and scope of the subject, Chapter I describes the administrative traditions of the West Coast Malay States and the accentuation of the problem of over-centralization of power after these states formed the Federated Malay States. Chapter II describes the turmoil of dissatisfaction which boiled among Malay Rulers, European Civil Servants and merchants against the Federal Secretariat between 1918 and 1920, and explains how the question of formation of a Union of Malaya, created a need for relaxation of central control in the federated states. Chapter III discusses the void between the federal administration and many rural Malays created by over-centralization, and some problems of Malay participation in administration. The regular recruitment of Malays, started with the formation of the Malay Administrative Service (Chapter IV), permitted them to share power in the district administration with European Civil Servants but the measure did not satisfy the aspirations of the federated states for autonomy. The achievement in this regard was unimpressive, and no power of the Chief Secretary of the federation diminished before 1924 (Chapter V), because of peripheral issues raised. After 1924 the Sultan of Perak, the Colonial Office and the British High Commissioner favoured the gradual abolition of the Chief Secretary's office (Chapter VI), but a premature disclosure of this proposal was exploited by pressure groups to create a strong opinion prejudicial to the proposal. Since these groups were themselves divided, the High Commissioner succeeded in delegating power to allocate funds to states in twelve services (Chapter VII) but permitted a strong centre to continue. Chapter VIII evaluates the considerations which entered into the policy of decentralization in the 1920s, assesses its achievements in the light of difficulties faced in these states and analogous situations, and indicates its future impact.

description: We prove a large deviation principle for stochastic differential equations driven by semimartingales, with additive controls. Conditions are given in terms of characteristics of driven semimartingales, so that if the noise-control pairs satisfy a large deviation principle with some good rate function, so do the solution processes. There is no joint exponential tightness assumption for noise-control-solution triplets and no uniform exponential tightness assumption for noise.

description: In this paper, we aim to introduce and characterize the concept of numerical radius orthogonality of operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ which are bounded with respect to the semi-norm induced by a positive operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$. Moreover, a characterization of the $A$-numerical radius parallelism for $A$-rank one operators is proved. As applications of the obtained results, we obtain some $\mathbb{A}$-numerical radius inequalities of operator matrices where $\mathbb{A}$ is the operator diagonal matrix with diagonal entries are positive operator $A$. Some other related results are also investigated.

description: When developing autonomous systems, engineers and other stakeholders make great effort to prepare the system for all foreseeable events and conditions. However, these systems are still bound to encounter events and conditions that were not considered at design time. For reasons like safety, cost, or ethics, it is often highly desired that these new situations be handled correctly upon first encounter. In this paper we first justify our position that there will always exist unpredicted events and conditions, driven among others by: new inventions in the real world; the diversity of world-wide system deployments and uses; and, the non-negligible probability that multiple seemingly unlikely events, which may be neglected at design time, will not only occur, but occur together. We then argue that despite this unpredictability property, handling these events and conditions is indeed possible. Hence, we offer and exemplify design principles that when applied in advance, can enable systems to deal, in the future, with unpredicted circumstances. We conclude with a discussion of how this work and a broader theoretical study of the unexpected can contribute toward a foundation of engineering principles for developing trustworthy next-generation autonomous systems.

description: We introduce maximum likelihood fragment tomography (MLFT) as an improved circuit cutting technique for running clustered quantum circuits on quantum devices with a limited number of qubits. In addition to minimizing the classical computing overhead of circuit cutting methods, MLFT finds the most likely probability distribution for the output of a quantum circuit, given the measurement data obtained from the circuit's fragments. We demonstrate the benefits of MLFT for accurately estimating the output of a fragmented quantum circuit with numerical experiments on random unitary circuits. Finally, we show that circuit cutting can estimate the output of a clustered circuit with higher fidelity than full circuit execution, thereby motivating the use of circuit cutting as a standard tool for running clustered circuits on quantum hardware.

title: Registration of Title to Land in the Former Special Areas of Kenya.
Creators: name: Coldham, Simon Frederick Russell
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1977

description: In 1956 the colonial government of Kenya embarked upon a programme of land consolidation and registration in the Native Lands, subsequently known as the Special Areas. Although the programme initially made little headway outside the Kikuyu Land Unit, it has, since Kenya became independent in 19631 been presented with great vigour and now covers all but the most thinly populated areas of the country. From the outset the objectives of the programme have been various, political, social and economic, and although it has not been warmly welcomed in all areas of Kenya, it is generally considered to have been a success. It is the aim of this thesis to examine the operation of the programme and to assess its success in terms of its proclaimed objectives. While the thesis is written by a lawyer and necessarily relies to a considerable extent on traditional legal materials, the subject demands an inter disciplinary approach; it is impossible wholly to divorce legal issues from those of a political, social or economic nature. Indeed, at its most general, this is a study of the interaction of law and society, and the land consolidation and registration programme can be seen as an ambitious piece of social engineering. After an introductory chapter the process of land adjudication is examined as it was seen to operate in two areas of Kenya, one (chapter II) where individual titles were registered and one (chapter III) where group titles were registered. Chapters IV, V and VI deal with the consequences of land registration, the problems to which it has given rise and the successes which it has achieved. Finally chapter VIII looks at the land control system in Kenya, a system which is designed to further official land policies and could profoundly affect the working of the land registration programme. The law is stated as at December 31st, 1974.

description: We derive precise formulas for the archimedean Euler factors occurring in certain standard Langlands $L$-functions for unitary groups. In the 1980s, Paul Garrett, as well as Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro and Stephen Rallis (independently of Garrett), discovered integral representations of automorphic $L$-functions that are Eulerian but, in contrast to the Rankin--Selberg and Langlands--Shahidi methods, do not require that the automorphic representations to which the $L$-functions are associated are globally generic. Their approach, the doubling method, opened the door to a variety of applications that could not be handled by prior methods.
 For over three decades, though, the integrals occurring in the Euler factors at archimedean places for unitary groups eluded precise computation, except under particular simplifications (such as requiring certain representations to be one-dimensional, as Garrett did in the first major progress on this computation and only prior progress for general signatures). We compute these integrals for holomorphic discrete series of general vector weights for unitary groups of any signature. This has consequences not only for special values of $L$-functions in the archimedean setting, but also for $p$-adic $L$-functions, where the corresponding term had remained open.

Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

description: This dissertation examines the development of Christianity in Vietnam in the period 1682-1709. It was a critical test period which determined whether the seeds which had been sown in previous years would take root. I examine how Christianity took root and present a thesis that underlying the success of the Vicars Apostolic was a policy of Accommodation, i.e. adjustment of Christianity to Vietnamese culture and institutions. In the Introduction I (1) define Accommodation; (2) examine the Vietnamese background; (3) trace the European origins including papal disagreements with the Jesuits and Portugal; (4) survey the archival materials; and (5) give reasons for the importance of this study. I have divided the dissertation into two parts. Part One examines the events from the standpoint of a general policy of Accommodation. Chapter One deals with the Vicars Apostolic themselves, their European assistants, and discusses the Jesuit problem. Chapters Two and Three examine the favorable and unfavorable reactions by the Court. Chapter Four gives the statistics of the Christian communities and their locations, the numbers of converts, and the approximate strength of the Christian Faith. Part Two examines the events from the standpoint of the details of Accommodation. In Chapter Five, I appraise the Vietnamese priests-their training, who they were, and lay assistants. Chapter Six deals with the details of Christianity in the communities, and the work of the Christian clergy and laity in them. Chapter Seven discusses the integration of the major Vietnamese cults into the Christian fabric. In the final Chapter, Eight, I give my conclusions. Christianity succeeded because of the Accommodation policies.

description: Efficient evaluation of a network architecture drawn from a large search space remains a key challenge in Neural Architecture Search (NAS). Vanilla NAS evaluates each architecture by training from scratch, which gives the true performance but is extremely time-consuming. Recently, one-shot NAS substantially reduces the computation cost by training only one supernetwork, a.k.a. supernet, to approximate the performance of every architecture in the search space via weight-sharing. However, the performance estimation can be very inaccurate due to the co-adaption among operations. In this paper, we propose few-shot NAS that uses multiple supernetworks, called sub-supernet, each covering different regions of the search space to alleviate the undesired co-adaption. Compared to one-shot NAS, few-shot NAS improves the accuracy of architecture evaluation with a small increase of evaluation cost. With only up to 7 sub-supernets, few-shot NAS establishes new SoTAs: on ImageNet, it finds models that reach 80.5% top-1 accuracy at 600 MB FLOPS and 77.5% top-1 accuracy at 238 MFLOPS; on CIFAR10, it reaches 98.72% top-1 accuracy without using extra data or transfer learning. In Auto-GAN, few-shot NAS outperforms the previously published results by up to 20%. Extensive experiments show that few-shot NAS significantly improves various one-shot methods, including 4 gradient-based and 6 search-based methods on 3 different tasks in NasBench-201 and NasBench1-shot-1.

description: In this paper, we use the complexity equals action proposal and investigate holographic complexity for hyperscaling violating theories on different subregions of space-time enclosed by the null boundaries. We are interested in computing the onshell action for certain subregions of the intersection between the Wheeler DeWitt patch and the past, as well as, the future interior of a two-sided black brane. More precisely, we extend the results of Ref. \cite{Alishahiha:2018lfv} in parts, to hyperscaling violating geometries and to find the finite onshell action, we define the proper counter terms. We show that in computing the rate of complexification the dynamical exponent plays a crucial rule, but, at the late time, rate of the complexity growth is independent of the hyperscaling parameters.

description: Recent advances in quantum information science enabled the development of quantum communication network prototypes and created an opportunity to study full-stack quantum network architectures. This work develops SeQUeNCe, a comprehensive, customizable quantum network simulator. Our simulator consists of five modules: Hardware models, Entanglement Management protocols, Resource Management, Network Management, and Application. This framework is suitable for simulation of quantum network prototypes that capture the breadth of current and future hardware technologies and protocols. We implement a comprehensive suite of network protocols and demonstrate the use of SeQUeNCe by simulating a photonic quantum network with nine routers equipped with quantum memories. The simulation capabilities are illustrated in three use cases. We show the dependence of quantum network throughput on several key hardware parameters and study the impact of classical control message latency. We also investigate quantum memory usage efficiency in routers and demonstrate that redistributing memory according to anticipated load increases network capacity by 69.1% and throughput by 6.8%. We design SeQUeNCe to enable comparisons of alternative quantum network technologies, experiment planning, and validation and to aid with new protocol design. We are releasing SeQUeNCe as an open source tool and aim to generate community interest in extending it.
title: The Official Construction of Female Sexuality and Gender in the People's Republic of China 1949-1959.
Creators: name: Evans, Harriet
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1991

description: Issues of sexuality as expounded in the Chinese official press of the 1950s can be taken as an important indicator of the changing perception of female gender in the early People's Republic. This thesis explores the assumptions and attitudes concerning sexuality conveyed in the official media, and places particular emphasis on the projection of female attributes and responsibilities in sexual relationships. It analyses the different biological and social constructions of sexuality, and the means by which biologically determined sexual differences were inscribed with specific gender characteristics. In so doing, it offers a view of female gender not attainable from the study of women in other contexts in the same period. Simultaneously, the focus on the official media permits examination of the nature of the state's interests in sponsoring public discussion about sex-related issues. Official journals and educational materials on love, marriage and the family projected new norms and expectations of women's sexual behaviour which served both didactic and exhortatory functions. Norms expounded for women as fiancee, wife and mother, as represented in these materials, established a new conjugal relationship in which, ideally, both man and wife contributed in equal measure to marital and family stability and satisfaction. The new norms also suggested that women were attributed with certain biological characteristics which identified them as 'natural' providers of their husbands' needs and as principle mediators of marital harmony. Any female violation of the new sexual norms was interpreted as the generator and signifier of suffering, sickness and moral chaos. Women, therefore, were assigned primary responsibility for maintaining moral and social order. On this basis, it can be argued that female sexual conduct was appropriated by the state as an agent of moral and social order, in which the needs and interests of the male predominated over those of the female.

description: We offer a systematic study of rigid analytic motives over general rigid analytic spaces, and we develop their six-functor formalism. A key ingredient is an extended proper base change theorem that we are able to justify by reducing to the case of algebraic motives. In fact, more generally, we develop a powerful technique for reducing questions about rigid analytic motives to questions about algebraic motives, which is likely to be useful in other contexts as well. We pay special attention to establishing our results without noetherianity assumptions on rigid analytic spaces. This is indeed possible using Raynaud's approach to rigid analytic geometry.

description: We study the costs and benefits of different quantum approaches to finding approximate solutions of constrained combinatorial optimization problems with a focus on Maximum Independent Set. In the Lagrange multiplier approach we analyze the dependence of the output on graph density and circuit depth. The Quantum Alternating Ansatz Approach is then analyzed and we examine the dependence on different choices of initial states. The Quantum Alternating Ansatz Approach, although powerful, is expensive in terms of quantum resources. A new algorithm based on a "Dynamic Quantum Variational Ansatz" (DQVA) is proposed that dynamically changes to ensure the maximum utilization of a fixed allocation of quantum resources. Our analysis and the new proposed algorithm can also be generalized to other related constrained combinatorial optimization problems.

Filling links and spines in 3-manifolds

description: We introduce and study the notion of filling links in 3-manifolds: a link L is filling in M if for any 1-spine G of M which is disjoint from L, $π_1(G)$ injects into $π_1(M\smallsetminus L)$. A weaker "k-filling" version concerns injectivity modulo k-th term of the lower central series. For each k>1 we construct a k-filling link in the 3-torus. The proof relies on an extension of the Stallings theorem which may be of independent interest. We discuss notions related to "filling" links in 3-manifolds, and formulate several open problems. The appendix by C. Leininger and A. Reid establishes the existence of a filling hyperbolic link in any closed orientable 3-manifold with $π_1(M)$ of rank 2.
