description: Two factors made it especially important for Portugal’s interventionists not only to seize control of the Paris Peace Conference negotiations, but also to emerge victorious from the conference. The first was the nature of the Portuguese intervention in the First World War. The second was the reputational damage endured by the country’s young republican regime as a result of its army’s poor performance on the battlefield and Sidónio Pais’ ‘New Republic’. It was both expected that the Allies would force Germany to pay for their military expenses and also hoped that Portugal might receive a share of Germany’s colonies and battle fleet – but in vain. Portugal’s ill-fated campaign for the reparation of wartime damages would continue until 1933.

Subjects: Information science

description: Social Science research in universities has traditionally been supported by a central data archive, holding both the raw data (e.g. the U.S. census) and the wide variety of support materials necessary to identify, understand and manipulate the raw data. Columbia University's Electronic Data Service (EDS) has built an online system using World-Wide-Web technology to offer these support materials, and ultimately the raw data itself, to our research community. We describe our historical motivations, our data format difficulties, our filing systems and our scalable technology solution. Our emphasis is on a new set of software, inter-connected by Web protocols, which is easy to use and is self-maintaining.

description: We investigate the connection between starburst and AGN activity by comparing the 3.3 μm PAH eimission with AGN properties. Utilizing the slit-less spectroscopic capability of the AKARI space telescope, we observe moderate-luminosity Type I AGN at z~0.4 to measure global starburst activity. The 3.3 μm PAH emissions are detected for 7 out of 26 target galaxies. We find no strong correlation between the 3.3 μm PAH emission and AGN luminosity in the limted range of the observed AGN luminosity, suggesting that global star formation may not be tightly related with AGN activity. Combining our measurements with the previous 3.3 μm measurements of the low redshift Type I AGN in the literature, we investigate the connection between nuclear starburst and AGN activity. In contrast to global star formation, the 3.3 μm PAH luminosity measured from the central part of galaxies correlates with AGN luminosity, implying that starburst and AGN activity are directly connected at the nuclear region.

Alternative facts

description: Henry et al (2022) examine whether people are willing to share "alternative facts" espoused by right-wing populist parties before the 2019 European elections in France and how this interacted with the availability of fact-checking information. They find that both imposed and voluntary fact-checking reduce the likelihood of sharing false statements by approximately 45%, and that imposed and voluntary fact-checking have similar effect sizes. We reproduce these findings and introduce several alternative estimates to assess the robustness of the original results, including resolving an inconsistency in the handling of pre-treatment controls. Overall, our results align with the results of the original paper. The differences we find are small in absolute magnitude but, since many effects were small, not always trivial in terms of relative differences. This replication supports the conclusions of the original paper.

description: Revolutionary movements in India haunted the imagination of post-war British officialdom. They were used in the aftermath of the First World War to justify everything from colonial massacres to the indefinite censorship of the press. But what were these conspiracies that loomed so large in official British thinking? And how successful or effective were these movements? This paper will provide some answers with an analysis of the Ghadar Movement which provided a locus through which differing and divergent strands of pre-war revolutionary activity were drawn together during the First World War.

The Case for the Precision Timed (PRET) Machine
Creators: name: Edwards, Stephen A.
name: Lee, Edward A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Computer science

description: We argue that at least for embedded software applications, computer architecture, software, and networking have gone too far down the path of emphasizing average case performance over timing predictability. In architecture, techniques such as multi-level caches and deep pipelines with dynamic dispatch and speculative execution make worst-case execution times (WCET) highly dependent on both implementation details of the processor and on the context in which the software is executed. Yet virtually all real-time programming methodologies depend on WCET. When timing properties are important in the software and when concurrent execution is affected by timing, the result is brittle designs. In this paper, we argue for precision timed (PRET) machines, which deliver high performance, but not at the expense of timing predictability. We summarize a number of research approaches that can be used to create PRET machines, and discuss how the software, operating system, and networking abstractions built above the machine architecture will have to change.
Spatiotemporal correlations of handset-based service usages

description: We study spatiotemporal correlations and temporal diversities of handset-based service usages by analyzing a dataset that includes detailed information about locations and service usages of 124 users over 16 months. By constructing the spatiotemporal trajectories of the users we detect several meaningful places or contexts for each one of them and show how the context affects the service usage patterns. We find that temporal patterns of service usages are bound to the typical weekly cycles of humans, yet they show maximal activities at different times. We first discuss their temporal correlations and then investigate the time-ordering behavior of communication services like calls being followed by the non-communication services like applications. We also find that the behavioral overlap network based on the clustering of temporal patterns is comparable to the communication network of users. Our approach provides a useful framework for handset-based data analysis and helps us to understand the complexities of information and communications technology enabled human behavior.

Philanthropy and Social Compassion in Eastern Orthodox Tradition: Papers of the Sophia Institute Academic Conference, New York, Dec. 2009
Creators: name: Union Theological Seminary. Sophia Institute
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Religion

description: The essays in this collection were delivered at the Second Annual Conference of the Sophia Institute, convened at Union Theological Seminary in New York City on the 4th of December 2009. The central theme of the conference was philanthropy and social compassion within the Eastern Orthodox Tradition. The breadth of historical and contemporary concerns addressed within this volume, cogently articulated from representatives among the Orthodox laity, Orthodox clergy, scholars situated within other traditions in Christianity and leading academics in the field of Christian studies, has effectively given us a modern day florilegium, that is a vibrant bouquet of flowers as it were, from which to pick and choose for our edification and instruction. A number of the essays in this collection, on account of their breadth and range of critical engagement, evade conveniently fitting into the somewhat artificial categories of scholarship such as historical, contemporary, theoretical or practical oriented studies. Much of the scholarship represented in this collection brings historical analyses to bear on contemporary concerns. Furthermore, many of the essays in this volume effectively blend together historical reflection with practical social engagement. For the sake of an expedient orientation towards the diverse materials represented in this volume, the essays were grouped together in a broadly conceived organizational manner.

description: We provide a general framework for the study of cascade effects created by interconnections between sectors, firms or financial institutions. Focusing on a multi sector economy linked through a supply network, we show how structural properties of the supply network determine both whether aggregate volatility disappears as the number of sectors increases (i.e., whether the law of large numbers holds) and when it does, the rate at which this happens. Our main results characterize the relationship between first order interconnections (captured by the weighted degree sequence in the graph induced by the input-output relations) and aggregate volatility, and more importantly, the relationship between higher-order interconnections and aggregate volatility. These higher-order interconnections capture the cascade effects, whereby low productivity or the failure of a set of suppliers propagates through the rest of the economy as their downstream sectors/firms also suffer and transmit the negative shock to their downstream sectors/firms. We also link the probabilities of tail events (large negative deviations of aggregate output from its mean) to sector-specific volatility and to the structural properties of the supply network.

description: This paper examines the role that credit default swaps (CDS) played in the run-up to and during the financial crisis that struck in 2007-2008. I examine the nature of CDS as well as their evolving uses preceding and during the crisis, such as in the case of synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CSOs). Through case studies, I also highlight several problems deriving from the pervasive and largely unregulated use of CDS, including counterpart and systemic risk as well as the empty creditor problem. Through these case studies and my analysis, I conclude that while CDS are meant to simply shift economic risk to those parties most willing and able to bear it without adding systemic risk to the economy, during the recent financial crisis the unregulated and pervasive CDS market actually contributed to systemic risk. Thus, I also propose possible solutions to address the problems associated with CDS.

description: This vignette outlines online course design principles that provide multiple entry points for learning so that students, with all their diversities, can adapt activities to fit their needs, emergent abilities, and interests. Four principles drawn from Universal Design for Learning are discussed: 1) providing multiple means of representation, with spaces for unanticipated possibilities to emerge; 2) providing multiple means for students to express what they know and what they have learned; 3) offering ways into and explorations beyond planned experiences; and 4) permitting and nurturing specialized interests of individuals while enhancing possibilities for the collective. The vignette offers examples of implementations of the four principles in higher educational courses.

description: Talking circles online offer an opportunity for students to connect with one another during the course and in doing so enhance student satisfaction with the course. When facilitating a talking circle, the host must make it clear that they are drawing upon Indigenous knowledge systems. This requires educators to learn about the Indigenous peoples in the territory and ensure that they are respecting protocols and practices. Talking circles can be used to share feelings and thoughts, to connect with content, to build community, and as a form of assessment. The authors share their experiences using talking circles in synchronous sessions.

description: Rivers have been the hub of economic and social development in the human evolution, because they are essential resources for: agricultural development, infrastructure networks and development of the first urban strategies. Territory has had a radical transformation that led to a national average urbanization of about 10%; but this development has happened with different degrees of awareness and without uniform models and criteria.
One of the main causes of this is due to an extreme fragmentation of planning, because the municipalities’ plans are a binding power modality, in force in Italy, but they don’t have significant and strategic references at regional and territorial scale. In particular, the Italian river areas have undergone a real siege by urban growth, outlining a critical scenario in terms of risks for the population and for the natural system.
Some disciplines such as landscape ecology have contributed substantially to the integration of some environmental issues that have led into greater consideration for the protection of the landscape. In the same way the concept of Ecosystem Services combines knowledge, techniques and legislation to achieve the goal of sustainable planning. So, it is necessary that these scientific disciplines, which deal with environmental planning in various ways, find the right devices to guarantee a multi-criteria approach to the problem of consumption of the Natural Capital.

Sexing the Jewish Body: Male Menstruation Libel and the Making of Modern Gender
Creators: name: Dentler, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Jews

description: Recent scholarship on the history of anti-Semitism in Europe has made much of an intriguing and puzzling charge by some early modern Christians that Jewish men menstruated. This particular anti-Semitic libel seems to have been widespread throughout early modern Western Europe, not only within clerical circles, but within secular and popular society as well. Evolving from roots at least as far back as late antiquity, it arrived in its “mature” form in select thirteenth century texts, in which Jewish men suffered monthly flows of blood from the posterior region, either anally or from the penis. This is a difficult topic for the modern mind to study because contemporary conceptions of embodiment and gender are radically different from medieval thought on the subject. However, it is the very difficulty of understanding how identity constructs change over time that makes male menstruation libel such a fascinating and relevant topic for discussion. What are the ancient and medieval roots of the myth of Jewish male menstruation? At what point did these representations become sexed/gendered? What ideological purposes might this gendering have served and what can we moderns learn from the history of Jewish male menstruation libel about what it means for gender to be “modern” in the first place? A critical examination of the theological and medico-scientific origins of the menstruation libel reveals that its production was a contingent historical process that required many permutations and contributions to crystallize. Nevertheless, as early as the thirteenth century, versions of this narrative clearly feminized Jewish men. These representations became more widespread in early modern Europe and constitute an essential shift toward more modern notions of sex, gender, and embodiment that naturalized the role of Jewish men in European society, physically marking them with a badge of difference.
Proton-proton cross-sections: the interplay between density and radius

description: We argue that there are two mechanisms responsable for the growth of high energy cross-sections - σ_{tot} and σ_{el}, say - in pp collisions. One is by the increase of matter \emph{density}, resulting in the black disk saturation. The other is by exclusively radial expansion affecting the periphery of the overlap area. Within this simple model we can reproduce all available data in pp from ISR to LHC. In order to achieve a fast growth in the very high energy cosmic ray energies, we propose a fast black disk saturation followed by the dominance of geometric scaling (GS).

description: We develop a dynamic model of opinion formation in social networks when the information required for learning a payoff-relevant parameter may not be at the disposal of any single agent. Individuals engage in communication with their neighbors in order to learn from their experiences. However, instead of incorporating the views of their neighbors in a fully Bayesian manner, agents use a simple updating rule which linearly combines their personal experience and the views of their neighbors (even though the neighbors‘ views may be quite inaccurate). This non-Bayesian learning rule is motivated by the formidable complexity required to fully implement Bayesian updating in networks. We show that, as long as individuals take their personal signals into account in a Bayesian way, repeated interactions lead them to successfully aggregate information and learn the true underlying state of the world. This result holds in spite of the apparent naà¯veté of agents‘ updating rule, the agents‘ need for information from sources the existence of which they may not be aware of, the possibility that the most persuasive agents in the network are precisely those least informed and with worst prior views, and the assumption that no agent can tell whether her own views or those of her neighbors are more accurate.

description: We present a measurement of the volumetric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate out to z ~ 1.6 from the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. In observations spanning 189 orbits with the Advanced Camera for Surveys we discovered 29 SNe, of which approximately 20 are SNe Ia. Twelve of these SNe Ia are located in the foregrounds and backgrounds of the clusters targeted in the survey. Using these new data, we derive the volumetric SN Ia rate in four broad redshift bins, finding results consistent with previous measurements at z > 1 and strengthening the case for a SN Ia rate that is equal to or greater than ~0.6 x 10^-4/yr/Mpc^3 at z ~ 1 and flattening out at higher redshift. We provide SN candidates and efficiency calculations in a form that makes it easy to rebin and combine these results with other measurements for increased statistics. Finally, we compare the assumptions about host-galaxy dust extinction used in different high-redshift rate measurements, finding that different assumptions may induce significant systematic differences between measurements.

Sport- und Bewegungstherapie stellt eine wichtige Säule in der Behandlung dieser Symptome dar. In einer nicht-randomisierten kontrollierten Machbarkeitsstudie wurde mit qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden untersucht, ob die Sportart Rudern geeignet ist, um Symptome in dieser Gruppe zu reduzieren. Im Ergebnis zeigte sich die Studienintervention sicher und machbar. Messgrößen wie Cancer-Related Fatigue, Lebensqualität und Handkraft sollten nach ersten Ergebnissen weiter untersucht werden. Rudern scheint eine geeignete Sportart zu sein, um die Lebensqualität von Menschen mit Tumorerkrankung zu verbessern. Die Verfügbarkeit von Angeboten in Deutschland ist bisher noch unzureichend und sollte professionalisiert und ausgebaut werden.
description: Cancer survivors often suffer from the consequences of the illness and therapy even after the completion of curative therapy. This reduces their health-related quality of life. Sports and physical therapy are an important part of the treatment of these symptoms. In a non-randomized controlled trial, using qualitative and quantitative methods, we investigated whether rowing was suitable to reduce symptoms in this group. The results showed that the intervention of the trial was feasible and safe. After the first interesting findings of our study, other parameters, such as cancer-related fatigue, health-related quality of life, and grip strength should be examined further. Rowing seems to be a suitable sport to improve the quality of life of cancer survivors. However, the availability of qualified offerings in Germany is as of yet insufficient and should be increased and professionalized.
First Year Students and the Assessment of Information Literacy at Barnard

description: First year students arrive at Barnard generally very comfortable in front of a computer, able to use the web to satisfy their interest in popular culture, the arts or politics, and skilled at using websites like Facebook and YouTube to find information about people, movies or music. However, we in the library soon discover that many are at sea in dealing with scholarly information. In particular, they are often unclear as to how to distinguish between articles and books that are scholarly and those that may be well-written and seem authoritative, but are not scholarly. In addition, they have many questions about what constitutes plagiarism; they know that they must not do it, but they are often unclear as to exactly what it is. These, then, are some of the information literacy issues we are trying to deal with in our teaching of first year students at Barnard Library.

It provoked an (at times radical) transformation of the home front which involved a three-faceted change: a new, unprecedented interface between the army and civilian population; spaces that were far more militarized; and an intensification of interrelations between soldiers and their host communities, which became more ambivalent than ever.

description: The process of formation and conservation of cadastral cartography for cadastral land system has always been an unavoidable defense of knowledge of the territories, albeit oriented to the imposition control. Also the hydrographic network, as well as, the road network and toponymy of streets and paths, have constituted in the cadastral representation frame elements for the geometrical-particle metric, articulating, with connotations also of civilistic nature , the juridical-ownership structures of the waters, both in terms of “domination” and of possible uses for a wide area technical reproduction support by cadastral representation. Finally, cadastral representation of public waters and road network allows diachronic analysis for prevention & control and risk assessment (danger scenarios).

I asked the graduate students to write a research proposal and, after completing a short project, a research report. They worked in groups of 3-4 (aka studio groups) and provided each other with feedback on drafts of both documents. As the instructor, I provided feedback on each student's draft, after their studio group had reviewed it. Two research assistants coded the drafts and final documents to determine the nature of the feedback students gave and how much (quantity) and to what extent (quality) did they take up that feedback. I was curious if they would prefer the feedback from the instructor or that of their peers. To learn what we found out, please watch the video.

description: This article considers the experiences of New Zealand soldiers on leave in Britain. In particular it focuses on the efforts of voluntary organizations like the YMCA to construct London as a ‘home away from home’ for the New Zealand soldier. Though existing New Zealand literature emphasizes war’s role in helping to construct a sense of national identity, this article argues that the experiences of soldiers on leave may have reinforced some of the bonds of empire.

description: The article summarizes the state of knowledge about the role of religions during the First World War in Italy, with particular reference to their presence in society, in the trenches, in politics. Although also taking into account minority denominations, it devotes specific attention to Catholicism and the attitude to the war of the Catholic Church and the Holy See: a choice dictated not only by the fact that Catholicism was deeply rooted in the country, but also by the current lack of studies on the other faiths.

Educational projects for decolonization : anti-authoritarian allyship and resistance education in the Americas
Creators: name: Meza-Wilson, Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis covers the topic of decolonizing anti-authoritarian educational spaces in North America. It outlines historical perspectives on anarchist and anti-authoritarian alternative educational movements that are non-coercive and opposed to hierarchy including the free skool, Modern School, unschooling, and the free university. Further, it examines indigenous educational spaces that originate in decolonizing social justice struggles such as the survival schools, intercultural bilingual education, and educación autonoma. The analysis focuses around discursive practices by free skools in producing a vision of freedom and liberation, and enacting a decolonization agenda. The thesis draws on theory by indigenous women, most centrally Sandy Grande and Linda Tuhiwai Smith, as a way of engaging anti-authoritarian education for decolonization with a critical indigenous lens. The first section of analysis consists of content analysis of web-based free skool mission statements. I code for discursive units that refer to forms of freedom and liberation, defined as overcoming oppressions presented by Iris Marion Young in Five Faces of Oppression. The results of this quantitative analysis demonstrate that free skools, in mission statements, have a tendency to prefer addressing labor/consumer exploitation and powerlessness as sites of oppression significantly more frequently than cultural imperialism, the site of oppression where colonialism is enacted. This demonstrates that free skools place a value in their mission statements of discursively engaging a limited vision of freedom and liberation that disproportionately excludes decolonization in envisioning liberation. The second section of analysis focuses on documents such as curriculum, readings, and personal narratives produced for and by decolonizing anti-authoritarian educational projects such as Unsettling Minnesota, the Purple Thistle Institute, and POOR Magazine's PeopleSkool. My engagement with these documents has determined that in many ways these projects find affinity with the work of Sandy Grande and Linda Tuhiwai Smith. In this way, the documents are useful in understanding a theoretically supported anti-authoritarian education for decolonization and in the formulation of future work that can build upon this base.

Year: 2018

description: UPLanD intend to promote an interdisciplinary approach to town and regional planning, landscape and environmental design as an effective form of the governance - sustainable and eco-efficient - of processes for the protection, enhancement and development of urban contexts. The first issue of third Volume of UPLanD intended to dwell on the subject of resources’ conservation considering that after an era of irresponsible use and that of ideological conservation is the time for an overall rethinking of the strategies with which sustainability is pursued. Because if it is impossible to continue to waste resources, it is often too late to simply protect what is left. Soil, landscape, water, air, biodiversity, climate: in many areas of the planet the level of compromise is such that only a virtuous process of regeneration can bring the system back to a condition of “sustainable” equilibrium. Furthermore the fact that 54% of world population already live in cities and by 2050 two more billion inhabitants will be added, shape this issue in a predominantly urban dimension.
Lack of sustainability generates many consequences. Among these, climate change is perhaps the most relevant. Cities, besides contributing to the causes of climate change, suffer its negative effects, with strong impacts on the quality of life of inhabitants. It is here, in fact, that the hazards resulting from the phenomenon, given the high levels of vulnerability and exposure, generate the most significant risks.

description: The paper describes the impact of war on peasantry and its mobilisation in the war effort. While observers portrayed the countryside as rich and callous towards urban shortages or waging war, the conflict accelerated social transformations in rural communities, imposed a great effort on women, and reinforced peasants’ social position on the home front. This paper underlines the effects of state intervention in the rural areas and its limits, the reactions to war strains within rural communities in 1917 and the different outcomes of the peasants’ war experiences.

A Determinizing Compiler

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Computer science

description: The advent of multicores mandates parallel programming. While parallelism presents a panoply of problems, few are as pernicious and prevalent as nondeterminism, in which the output of a program is affected by more than just its inputs, e.g., uncontrollable scheduling choices made by the operating system. A few parallel languages do guarantee determinism, but do so through draconian restrictions. It is time for a new era of bug-free parallel programming that will enable programmers to shift easily from sequential to parallel worlds.We propose a determinizing compiler: starting from a non-deterministic program, our compiler inserts just enough additional synchronization to guarantee deterministic behavior, even in the presence of nondeterministic scheduling choices. A brute-force solution would simply generate sequential code, but our compiler will strive to preserve parallelism to impose a minimal loss of performance.

description: We study fluctuations and deformations of black branes over length scales larger than the horizon radius. We prove that the Einstein equations for the perturbed p-brane yield, as constraints, the equations of the effective blackfold theory. We solve the Einstein equations for the perturbed geometry and show that it remains regular on and outside the black brane horizon. This study provides an ab initio derivation of the blackfold effective theory and gives explicit expressions for the metrics near the new black holes and black branes that result from it, to leading order in a derivative expansion.

description: A new synthetic protocol to give a variety of symmetric diaryl disulfides from odorless and easily available phenyl dimethylcarbamodithioates was developed. By using phenyl dimethylcarbamodithioates as organosulfur source, the target products were furnished smoothly through simple hydrolysis, giving a series of symmetric diaryl disulfides. The protocol features simple operation, odorless and easily available organosulfur source and high yield.
