description: This thesis explores the role of migrant football in driving development for Taiwan. It proposes an original conceptual framework within Sen's Capability Approach. This thesis examines the relationships between football, migration, and human development, which focus on identity-formation and recognition-building, social capital and cohesion accumulation, and enhancement of soft power and cultural relations for peacebuilding. Employing a critical realism paradigm and qualitative methodology, this qualitative research develops a critical realist case study design, utilising documentary analysis, participant observation, and semi-structured interviews. The study is structured around five empirical chapters: Migrant Football in Taiwan: Origin, Growth, and Landscape; Migrant Football and Human Development in Taiwan: Complexity in Capability Articulation and Expansion; Migrant Football and Human Development in Taiwan: Plurality in Identity-Formation and Recognition-Building; Migrant Football and Human Development in Taiwan: Social Cohesion-Building through Accumulation and Redistribution of Social Capital; and Migrant Football and Human Development in Taiwan: Peacebuilding through the Accumulation of Soft Power and Cultural Relations. Findings indicate that migrant football does contribute to human capability articulation across individual, collective, and public levels among both migrant and local communities. This thesis advocates for a capability-based approach to critically assess human capability articulation through football. While previous scholarship has examined migrant football development in Taiwan, it has primarily focused on sociocultural interpretations. This thesis extends this limitation by providing a holistic analysis of human development, thereby considering sociopolitical, sociocultural, and socioeconomic constraints and opportunities for both migrants and locals within and beyond the football realm in Taiwan.

title: Understanding Early Career Academics’ Learning to Experience Teaching in Higher Education
title: Integrating Theory and Empirical (Poetic) Work
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Sánchez Burgos, Felipe
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Early Career Academics (ECA) often find themselves starting a lecturing
 position in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) without knowing how to
 teach and/or with limited comparable previous experience. This is by
 itself a difficult task to face emotionally and cognitively speaking, and
 it adds to the already long list of demands that ECAs face when freshly
 starting the role. This issue leads us to wonder how ECAs experience
 teaching in Higher Education. This broad question has been tackled by
 offering descriptions in the literature as mixed feeling and overall
 negative emotions. In turn, this project contributes to the field by
 looking into how experiencing teaching may itself be inscribed in a
 learning process.

 Theory Work is undertaken to elaborate and argue for a constructivist and
 processual understanding of experience, emotions, and learning. Here, the
 argument is that experiences can be conceptually understood through
 perezhivanie (Vygotski, 1994) to highlight how they are learnt and lead to
 learning, while elaborating how learning is itself an emotional
 experience. Then, the project moves towards the empirical
 (re)creation/production of the experience of teaching with ECAs through
 the Art-Based Research method of Poetic Transcription done jointly with
 the lecturers. The experiences are presented as an exhibition of collected
 poems, curated and commented on by the researcher following an entrance
 and three rooms structure.

 Taking the theory and empirical work together, this project sheds some
 light on the experiencing of teaching as something that is learnt and
 worked-through as an experience. Here, experiences are complex as they
 integrate into larger processes. Thus, specific previous experiences and
 stories can be identified as anchors that relate to each other in
 particular ways for the reconstruction of the ECA’s experiences of
 teaching: their purposeful conjunction is identified as the precursors of
 the lecturer’s current way of (re)constructing the experiences of
 teaching.

description: In recent years, the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) has emerged as a transformative force in the landscape of Research Data Management (RDM). What began as a modest project, initially funded by an implementation study in ELIXIR, has gradually evolved into a powerful open-source platform, gaining recognition not only on the national stage but also internationally.

This poster aims to capture the remarkable journey of DSW and outline the roadmap within various projects that just started and where DSW is a pivotal component of RDM ecosystems, particularly in Europe and beyond. DSW's sustainability is exemplified by ongoing support from ELIXIR-CZ and collaboration with key projects such as the Czech National Repository Platform as well as the Horizon Europe projects OS Trails and ELIXIR-STEERS. These partnerships will not only further enhance the platform's capabilities but also ensure its continued relevance and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of RDM. Furthermore, DSW has transcended its open-source origins, expanding into an enterprise dimension. This evolution has seen the emergence of service providers who not only utilize the platform but actively contribute to its codebase and engage with the growing DSW community. This dynamic interaction between enterprise and community reinforces the platform's robustness and adaptability.

Finally, the poster calls everyone to explore how DSW has become a beacon of innovation, driving advancements in RDM practices globally and to discover how its inspirational journey, marked by collaboration, support, and enterprise engagement, exemplifies a model for sustainable growth in the rapidly evolving field of data stewardship.

title: Investigating quasar variability using large ensemble studies of optical photometry over seven decades

Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: quasar variability
subject: optical photometry
subject: Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)
subject: Seyfert galaxy

description: The term ‘Active Galactic Nucleus’, or AGN, refers to the existence of energetic phenomena in the nuclei of galaxies which cannot be attributed directly to stars. AGN cover a great range of luminosities. In a typical Seyfert galaxy the energy emitted by the central region is comparable with the total energy output of all the stars in the galaxy, but in a typical quasar the nuclear source is 100 or more times brighter than the collective star output of the galaxy. Quasars are the most luminous AGN and are among the most powerful sources of electromagnetic radiation in the Universe. They are distinctly variable, exhibiting fluctuations in luminosity in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The timescales of variability can range from minutes to decades, depending on the wavelength observed. Quasars are rare and only found at great distances. As a result, their small angular size make them particularly difficult to study. The majority of emitted radiation of quasars is produced in a region with an apparent size on the order of microarcseconds. However, while we cannot resolve the structure of quasars spatially, it is possible to resolve temporal fluctuations in brightness at different wavelengths. By analysing variability in photometric and spectroscopic observations, we may constrain the emission region size, understand the energetics of the system and reveal what physical processes are responsible for quasar phenomena that we observe. However, our current models of quasars fall short when attempting to predict the observed variability, especially on the timescales seen in observations. Over the last two decades, sky surveys such as Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) have been repeatedly imaging the sky. By combining data from these surveys, as well as photometry from photographic plates, I have produced 7-DQ; a database containing light curves of over 500,000 quasars with a 7-decade baseline. In this thesis, I describe the construction, calibration, and the subsequent analysis of 7-DQ. Through large ensemble photometric studies of this database I reveal subtle systematic trends, push existing analyses to new ground in the time-domain and test existing claims with a higher precision. These studies, presented in this thesis, pave the way to understanding the physical mechanisms responsible for variability.

description: Complex fluid flows are important in many real-life problems. For an in-depth understanding, new and more elaborate methods of flow description are necessary. Often experimental and numerical data are accumulated in large quantities however only simple flow properties are extracted. Here we show an approach that allows quantitative extraction of the initial dynamics for magnetic micro-convection. It analyzes the initial time dynamics of the Fourier coefficients of the 2D flow snapshots. We demonstrate its effectiveness in both numeric and experimental data. In addition, the method is refined to account for noise that can be present in real-world data. This method can serve as a tool to directly compare mathematical models with experiments.

description: While multi-axis 3D printing can align continuous fibers along principal stresses in continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites to enhance mechanical strength, existing methods have difficulty generating toolpaths with high fiber coverage. This is mainly due to the orientation consistency constraints imposed by vector-field-based methods and the turbulent stress fields around stress concentration regions. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a 2-RoSy representation for computing the direction field, which is then converted into a periodic scalar field to generate partial iso-curves for fiber toolpaths with nearly equal hatching distance. To improve fiber coverage in stress-concentrated regions, such as around holes, we extend the quaternion-based method for curved slicing by incorporating winding compatibility considerations. Our proposed method can achieve toolpaths coverage between 87.5% and 90.6% by continuous fibers with 1.1mm width. Models fabricated using our toolpaths show up to 84.6% improvement in failure load and 54.4% increase in stiffness when compared to the results obtained from multi-axis 3D printing with sparser fibers.

Subjects: subject: political reconciliation
subject: onto-epistemic monism

description: In this PhD dissertation, I explore the role of democratic theories in contexts of political reconciliation through the lens of pluriversal politics. Specifically, this work focuses on epistemic, deliberative, agonistic and pluriversal conceptions of political reconciliation. The first argument is that what ultimately informs different conceptions of political reconciliation is a tension between two philosophical strands: onto-epistemic monism and onto-epistemic pluralism. Monism, on the one hand, understands political reconciliation according to a logic of exclusion from or inclusion within the dominant world. Pluralism, on the other hand, understands political reconciliation as an ongoing dialogue and mediation across multiple worlds, each with their own onto-epistemic assumptions. The second argument is that pluriversal politics can generate a distinct conception of political reconciliation by explicitly revealing the onto-epistemic dimensions of political violence and dialogue. This work makes at least three contributions to theoretical debates on the interplay between political reconciliation, democratic theories and pluriversal politics. The first contribution is a taxonomy of epistemic, deliberative, agonistic and pluriversal conceptions of political reconciliation, each of which is situated on a philosophical spectrum between strong monism and strong pluralism. The second contribution is a reconstruction of the strengths and shortcomings of these conceptions based upon their theoretical potential to shed light on post-war questions, transitions from political repression and the predicaments of settler colonial societies. The third and most novel contribution is a pluriversal conception of political reconciliation, including some considerations on its broader implications for the re-orientation of this field. Based upon this re-orientation, I argue that political reconciliation is best conceptualised as a project associated with the reparation and maintenance of plurality, rather than the achievement and consolidation of social cohesion.

description: Mass measurements with the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at CERN-ISOLDE improve mass uncertainties of neutron-deficient tin isotopes towards doubly-magic $^{100}$Sn. The mass uncertainty of $^{103}$Sn was reduced by a factor of 4, and the new value for the mass excess of -67104(18) keV is compared with nuclear \textit{ab initio} and density functional theory calculations. Based on these results and local trends in the mass surface, the masses of $^{101,103}$Sn, as determined through their $Q_{\textrm{EC}}$ values, were found to be inconsistent with the new results. From our measurement for $^{103}$Sn, we extrapolate the mass excess of $^{101}$Sn to -60005(300) keV, which is significantly more bound than previously suggested. By correcting the mass values for $^{101,103}$Sn, we also adjust the values of $^{104}$Sb, $^{105,107}$Te, $^{108}$I, $^{109,111}$Xe, and $^{112}$Cs near the proton drip line which are connected through their $α$- and proton $Q$-values. The results show an overall smoothening of the mass surface, suggesting the absence of deformation energy above the ${N=50}$ shell closure.

description: Motivated by different approaches to quantum gravity, one could consider that Lorentz invariance is not an exact symmetry of nature at all energy scales. Following this spirit, modified dispersion relations have been used to encapsulate quantum gravity phenomenology. In the present work, we propose a class of Lorentz invariance violating phenomenological dispersion relations, which could be different for each particle species, to study the generalized vacuum Cherenkov radiation process. We identify the kinematic regions where the process is allowed and then compute the energy loss rate due to the emission of vacuum electromagnetic and gravitational Cherenkov radiation. Furthermore, we estimate constraints for the Lorentz invariance breaking parameters of protons and gravitons taking into account the existence (or absence) of vacuum gravitational Cherenkov radiation using ultra high energy cosmic ray detections.

title: Who watches the watchmen? External actors and consociational democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Bosnia and Herzegovina
subject: consociationalism
subject: power-sharing
subject: Dayton Agreement
subject: external actors

description: Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is portrayed as a classic case of consociationalism in the literature, but the reality is much more complicated. The complex political system that the Dayton Agreement produced is a hybrid system of power-sharing and of control of the entire system by external actors through the role of the High Representative. The role of external actors in creating, maintaining and (re)shaping consociational democracies is, perhaps, the most important question that consociational theory faces today. The aim of this study is to explain the evolution of power-sharing in BiH and the impact of external actors on it, as well as to apply these lessons about the role of external actors in BiH to the theory of consociationalism. By employing a mixed methods approach that includes in-depth interviews with the local political elite and international diplomats, statistical analysis of elections and censuses, legislative analysis, and the exploration of primary sources in both the local languages and in English, this study explores the nature of the role of external actors in the creation and transformation of consociational democracy in BiH and reveals normative and empirical lessons for the theory and its practitioners. External actors in BiH turned consociational incentives upside down by introducing integrative mechanisms into the political system. Through the 930 imposed decisions of the High Representative, the control of electoral rules by the OSCE, and the crucial role of the three foreign Constitutional Court judges in redefining the nature of consociationalism in BiH in 2000, the political system of BiH has been fundamentally altered from the foundations of its consociational constitution into a hybrid system of controlled consociation. The tragedy is that these changes were not implemented out of negligence or malice, but rather with the best of intentions. However, the fundamental misunderstanding of both the nature of BiH itself and of accommodation, especially consociationalism, has largely doomed the actions of external actors. Their integrative approach has backfired, and instead of more moderation in the political system and the integration of BiH’s three constituent peoples into an overarching Bosnian identity, as envisioned by external actors, the approach has produced greater fragmentation of the political system and the control of relative minorities by relative majorities.
