Children All Grown Up: Child Labor, Gender Roles and Pedagogical Function in Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel
Creators: name: Vandrimmelen, Jeff
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This thesis explores the significance of the modifications Engelbert Humperdinck and his librettist Adelheid Wette made to the Grimm's version of "Hansel and Gretel" in the opera Hänsel and Gretel. I first examine how the role of the children transforms from a largely inactive one to a more labor-intensive one as a comment on child labor. Second, I investigate how the dramatic change in the leadership, along with the change in the profession of the father, comment on an emancipatory role for women and criticize traditional patriarchal power. Finally, I analyze how the addition of pedagogical and religious themes converts the opera into a didactic tool. All these themes - child labor, gender and pedagogical function - ultimately create a discourse about how children deserve a childhood free of abuse and adult anxiety, a childhood that equally educates both genders, and a childhood that instills confidence and religious faith in the child.
Large-scale transfer and characterization of macroscopic periodically nano-rippled graphene

description: Nano-rippled graphene, a structurally modified graphene, presents a novel material with a large range of possible applications including sensors, electrodes, coatings, optoelectronics, spintronics and straintronics. In this work we have synthesized macroscopic single layer graphene with well-defined uniaxial periodic modulation on a stepped Ir(332) substrate and transferred it to a dielectric support. The applied fast transfer process does not damage the Ir crystal which can be repeatedly used for graphene synthesis. Upon transfer, a millimeter sized graphene flake with a uniform periodic nano-ripple structure is obtained, which exhibits a macroscopically measurable uniaxial strain. The periodic one dimensional arrangement of graphene ripples was confirmed by atomic force microscopy and polarized Raman measurements. An important feature of this system is that the graphene lattice is rotated in several different, well-defined orientations with respect to the direction of the ripple induced uniaxial strain. Moreover, geometry of the ripples can be modified by changing the graphene synthesis parameters.

description: This study aims to explore gynaecologists’ medical reasoning about pelvic pain management to understand what may underlie empowering approaches. 11 semi-structured interviews with physicians were conducted across 6 outpatient gynaecological settings within the Basel area, Switzerland. Analysis followed a constructive interpretative grounded theory approach according to Charmaz. Three emergent perspectives regarding patient empowerment were identified. They demonstrate how the complex socialisations of men and women as gynaecologists in their work environment affect their medical reasoning. While some perspectives hamper, others enable clinicians to take an empowering approach. Training courses in self-reflective approaches are recommended to support clinicians in developing and supporting an empowering approach towards patients with chronic pelvic pain and to go beyond a biomedical perspective.

description: When an inextensible elastic rod is 'injected' through a sliding sleeve against a fixed constraint, configurational forces are developed, deeply influencing the mechanical response. This effect, which is a consequence of the change in length of the portion of the rod included between the sliding sleeve and the fixed constraint, is theoretically demonstrated (via integration of the elastica) and experimentally validated on a proof-of-concept structure (displaying an interesting force reversal in the load/deflection diagram), to provide conclusive evidence to mechanical phenomena relevant in several technologies, including guide wire for artery catheterization, or wellbore insertion of a steel pipe.

Actors in a "Cheap Comedy": Dissidents in Soviet Psychiatric Hospitals, 1968-1974

description: This paper examines the Soviet government's hospitalization of political dissidents diagnosed with mental disorders between 1968 and 1974. Relying primarily on memoir accounts produced by the victims of Soviet punitive psychiatry, the purpose of this paper is to explicate the purpose, function, and effectiveness of the Soviet program of committing dissidents to psychiatric institutions. It concludes that this program served primarily to control behavior, rather than suppress ideas or counter-ideologies, embarrassing to the Soviet government. Furthermore, it suggest that in many cases committing dissidents to mental hospitals served the state as a means of negotiating with dissidents and reaching an agreement on what constitutes acceptable behavior, instead of functioning simply as a way to remove them from general society. This paper also argues that some dissidents possessed means of pressuring the state, and that the dialogue between political malcontents and government authorities was not a one sided conversation.

Friendship of Italian foreign policy with its former colonies

Subjects: subject: Political science

description: In 2008, Italy and Libya signed the Treaty on Friendship which promised $30 billion to Libya and represented the first formal and explicit apology from any European state for colonialism. Although this aid was justified on colonial damages, Italy did not provide its other former colonies with similar measures. The primary reason Libya received preferential treatment in terms of financial aid and colonial apologies is due to its status as a transit country for migrants who were attempting to enter Europe through Italy. Under the Gaddafi regime, Libya provided the best opportunity to have an immediate and drastic effect on migration. Since Libya has been in civil war, Italy has shifted its foreign policy to the countries of origin. However, Italy still does not provide nearly as much aid or any apologies for colonialism because they don't provide as great of an opportunity to immediately and drastically effect migration patterns.
PT-symmetric phase in kagome photonic lattices

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Kagome lattice is a two-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles and is often associated with geometrical frustration. In particular, the frustrated coupling between waveguide modes in a kagome array leads to a dispersionless flat band consisting of spatially localized modes. Here we propose a complex photonic lattice by placing $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dimers at the kagome lattice points. Each dimer corresponds to a pair of strongly coupled waveguides. With balanced arrangement of gain and loss on individual dimers, the system exhibits a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric phase for finite gain/loss parameter up to a critical value. The beam evolution in this complex kagome waveguide array exhibits a novel oscillatory rotation of optical power along the propagation distance. Long-lived local chiral structures originating from the nearly flat bands of the kagome structure are observed when the lattice is subject to a narrow beam excitation.

Multiple perceptions of opportunity and threat and coalitional dynamics in the Iranian reform movement (1997-2005)
Creators: name: Kadivar, Mohammad Ali
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: After social movements emerge, different actors within the movements usually take different trajectories. To understand these different trajectories, one needs to understand how these actors assess the political context. Different assessments of the political context imply different strategic choices. Also, converging and diverging assessments are part of the formation and disintegration of coalitions within social movements. I use the Iranian reform movement (1997-2005) to test my argument, since it contained multiple actors, changing coalitions, and diachronic as well as synchronic variations in the assessments of the political context.

description: We analyze nonlocally coupled networks of identical chaotic oscillators with either time-discrete or time-continuous dynamics (Henon map, Lozi map, Lorenz system). We hypothesize that chimera states, in which spatial domains of coherent (synchronous) and incoherent (desynchronized) dynamics coexist, can be obtained only in networks of nonhyperbolic chaotic systems and cannot be found in networks of hyperbolic systems. This hypothesis is supported by analytical results and numerical simulations for hyperbolic and nonhyperbolic cases.

description: This paper deals with fractional differential equations, with dependence on a Caputo fractional derivative of real order. The goal is to show, based on concrete examples and experimental data from several experiments, that fractional differential equations may model more efficiently certain problems than ordinary differential equations. A numerical optimization approach based on least squares approximation is used to determine the order of the fractional operator that better describes real data, as well as other related parameters.

Search for doubly charged Higgs boson production in multi-lepton final states with the ATLAS detector using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons with pairs of prompt, isolated, highly energetic leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search uses a proton-proton collision data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to 36.1 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This analysis focuses on the decays $H^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow e^{\pm}e^{\pm}$, $H^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow e^{\pm}\mu^{\pm}$ and $H^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \mu^{\pm}\mu^{\pm}$, fitting the dilepton mass spectra in several exclusive signal regions. No significant evidence of a signal is observed and corresponding limits on the production cross-section are derived at 95% confidence level. The observed lower limit on the mass of a doubly charged Higgs boson only coupling to left-handed leptons ($e$,$\mu$) varies from 770 GeV to 870 GeV (850 GeV expected) for $B(H^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \ell^{\pm}\ell^{\pm})$ = 100% and both the expected and observed mass limits are above 450 GeV for $B(H^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \ell^{\pm}\ell^{\pm})$ = 10% and any combination of partial branching ratios.

description: This scoping review is aimed at conducting a landscape of evidence on gender inequalities in health policies that pertain to maternal and neonatal care services in Nigeria. A scoping review is appropriate and strategic in evidence gathering from different sources. The richness of the body of evidence will illuminate our understanding of existing gaps in research and how to mainstream gender equity in maternal and neonatal care services. The review will adopt the JBI mixed-methodology approach as described in the 2020 manual in mapping studies, reports and papers that align with the research questions in this review. In this sense, a convergent segregated approach that supports broad search that can capture quantitative and qualitative orientated literature (grey and published) will direct the mapping, screening and synthesis of evidence.

description: The concept of local fractional derivative was introduced in order to be able to study the local scaling behavior of functions. However it has turned out to be much more useful. It was found that simple equations involving these operators naturally incorporate the fractal sets into the equations. Here, the scope of these equations has been extended further by considering different possibilities for the known function. We have also studied a separable local fractional differential equation along with its method of solution.

description: Several recent results are reported from work aiming to improve the quantitative precision of relativistic viscous fluid dynamics for relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The dense matter created in such collisions expands in a highly anisotropic manner. Due to viscous effects this also renders the local momentum distribution anisotropic. Optimized hydrodynamic approaches account for these anisotropies already at leading order in a gradient expansion. Recently discovered exact solutions of the relativistic Boltzmann equation in anisotropically expanding systems provide a powerful testbed for such improved hydrodynamic approximations. We present the latest status of our quest for a formulation of relativistic viscous fluid dynamics that is optimized for applications to relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

The role of noncognitive skills in the transition to the workforce for youth in Andhra Pradesh, India
Creators: name: Ryberg, Renee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Research based on youth in the United States and Europe has established the importance of noncognitive skills for successful transitions to adulthood. The influence of noncognitive skills may vary by social and economic contexts, though, and nine in ten youth live in developing countries where these concepts have not been rigorously examined. I examine the role noncognitive skills play in the transition to the workforce among youth in Andhra Pradesh, India. Using data from the Young Lives study, this paper examines whether positive self-concept and social skills in early adolescence (age 11-12) predict whether youth (age 18-19) are in school, work, both, or are not currently in education, employment, or training (NEET) using multinomial logistic regression. Findings suggest that self-concept predicts youth staying in school while social skills predicts youth entering work or being NEET. These skills are especially influential for young women and youth from high castes.

description: Examining the efficacy of composite-based structural equation modeling (SEM) features prominently in research. However, studies analyzing the efficacy of corresponding estimators usually rely on factor model data. Thereby, they assess and analyze their performance on erroneous grounds (i.e., factor model data instead of composite model data). A potential reason for this malpractice lies in the lack of available composite model-based data generation procedures for prespecified model parameters in the structural model and the measurements models. Addressing this gap in research, we derive model formulations and present a composite model-based data generation approach. The findings will assist researchers in their composite-based SEM simulation studies.

description: Invasive species can carry parasites to introduced locations, which may be a key to understand the success or failure of species establishment and the invasive potential of introduced species. We compared the prevalence and infection levels of haemogregarine blood parasites between two sympatric congeneric species in Lisbon, Portugal: the invasive Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) and the native green Iberian wall lizard (Podarcis virescens). The two species had significant differences in their infection levels: while P. virescens had high prevalence of infection (69.0%), only one individual of P. siculus was infected (3.7%), and while P. virescens exhibited an average intensity of 1.36%, the infected P. siculus individual had an infection rate of only 0.04%. Genetic analyses of 18S rRNA identified two different haemogregarine haplotypes in P. virescens. Due to the low levels of infection, we were not able to amplify parasite DNA from the infected P. siculus individual, although it was morphologically similar to those found in P. virescens. Since other studies also reported low levels of parasites in P. siculus, we hypothesize that this general lack of parasites could be one of the factors contributing to its competitive advantage over native lizard species and introduction success.

In this concept paper, we suggest a highly flexible and adaptive data structure (called GRIDTABLE) to physically organize sparse but structured records in the context of H2TAP. For this, we focus on the design of an efficient highly-flexible storage layout that is built from scratch for mixed query workloads. The key challenges we address are: (1) partial storage in different memory locations, and (2) the ability to optimize for mixed OLTP-/OLAP access patterns. To guarantee safe and well-specified data definition or manipulation, as well as fast querying with no compromises on performance, we propose two dedicated access paths to the storage. In this paper, we explore the architecture and internals of GRIDTABLES showing design goals, concepts and trade-offs. We close this paper with open research questions and challenges that must be addressed in order to take advantage of the flexibility of our solution.

description: We calculate renormalized Higgs boson couplings with gauge bosons and fermions at the one-loop level in the model with an additional isospin singlet real scalar field. These coupling constants can deviate from the predictions in the standard model due to tree-level mixing effects and one-loop contributions of the extra neutral scalar boson. We investigate how they can be significant under the theoretical constraints from perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability and also the condition of avoiding the wrong vacuum. Furthermore, comparing with the predictions in the Type I two Higgs doublet model, we numerically demonstrate how the singlet extension model can be distinguished and identified by using precision measurements of the Higgs boson couplings at future collider experiments.

Misinformation and Inferential Reasoning - Stage 1

description: Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The proposed experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age and (2) length of delay between retraction and final test. During initial learning, participants (both young and older adults) will read six scenarios in which a critical piece of misinformation is either retracted or not retracted. Following no delay, a short delay, or a long delay, participants will then answer inferential reasoning questions about the previously-studied scenarios to evaluate how (if at all) the prior retraction impacts reliance on misinformation. Outcomes will better help us to understand the ways in which misinformation (even following retraction) impacts reasoning, an issue of exceeding importance as the proliferation of fake news shows no signs of slowing.

description: Recent rises in macroeconomic volatility have prompted the introduction of quantile vector autoregression (QVAR) models to forecast macroeconomic risk. This paper provides an extensive evaluation of the predictive performance of QVAR models in a pseudo-out-of-sample experiment spanning 112 monthly US variables over 40 years, with horizons of 1 to 12 months. We compare QVAR with three parametric benchmarks: a Gaussian VAR, a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity VAR and a VAR with stochastic volatility. QVAR frequently, significantly and quantitatively improves upon the benchmarks and almost never performs significantly worse. Forecasting improvements are concentrated in the labour market and interest and exchange rates. Augmenting the QVAR model with factors estimated by principal components or quantile factors significantly enhances macroeconomic risk forecasting in some cases, mostly in the labour market. Generally, QVAR and the augmented models perform equally well. We conclude that both are adequate tools for modeling macroeconomic risks.
description: Les récentes hausses de la volatilité macroéconomique ont suscité l’adoption de modèles vectoriels autorégressifs quantiles (QVAR) pour prévoir les risques macroéconomiques. Cette étude présente une évaluation approfondie de la qualité des prévisions découlant d’un modèle QVAR dans une expérience en pseudo hors échantillon couvrant 112 variables mensuelles américaines recueillies sur 40 ans, avec des horizons de 1 à 12 mois. Nous comparons ce modèle avec trois modèles paramétriques de référence : un modèle vectoriel autorégressif (VAR) gaussien, un modèle VAR à hétéroscédasticité conditionnelle autorégressive généralisée et un modèle VAR à volatilité stochastique. Nous constatons que les résultats du modèle QVAR sont fréquemment, significativement et quantitativement supérieurs à ceux des modèles de référence et ne leur sont presque jamais significativement inférieurs. L’amélioration se constate particulièrement dans les prévisions relatives au marché du travail, aux taux d’intérêt et aux taux de change. L’ajout de facteurs estimés par des composantes principales ou des facteurs quantiles au modèle QVAR améliore considérablement la prévision des risques macroéconomiques dans certains cas, principalement en ce qui concerne le marché du travail. En général, le modèle QVAR et ses versions enrichies fonctionnent tout aussi bien, et nous concluons qu’ils constituent tous des outils adéquats pour modéliser les risques macroéconomiques.
Non-Perturbative Yang-Mills Condensate as Dark Energy

description: Models based on Yang-Mills condensate (YMC) have been advocated in the literature and claimed to be successful candidates to explain dark energy. Several instantiations of this simple idea have been considered, the most promising of which are reviewed here. Nevertheless, results previously attained heavily relied on the perturbative approach to the analysis of the effective Yang-Mills action, which is only adequate in the asymptotically-free limit, and were extended into a regime, the infrared limit, in which confinement is expected. We show that if a minimum of the effective Lagrangian in $θ\!=\! - F_{\, \, μν}^a \, F^{a μν}/2$ exists, a YMC forms that drives the Universe toward an accelerated de Sitter phase. The details of the models depend weakly on the specific form of the effective Yang-Mills Lagrangian. Using non-perturbative techniques mutated from the functional renormalization group procedure, we finally show that the minimum in $θ$ of the effective Lagrangian exists, thus YMC can actually take place. The non-perturbative model has properties similar to the ones of the perturbative model. In the early stage of the universe, the YMC equation of state has an evolution that resembles the radiation component, i.e. $w_y \rightarrow 1/3$. However, in the late stage, $w_y$ naturally runs to the critical state with $w_y =-1$, and the universe transits from matter-dominated into dark energy dominated stage only recently, at a redshift the value of which depends on the initial conditions that are chosen while solving the dynamical system.

description: L'article que nous réaliserons, selon la perspective pragmatique du texte, a pour objectif d’instituer une analyse sémiotique : bilan des signes verbaux et non-verbaux. Le but de notre article est la description du fonctionnement du discours politico pragmatique, l'analyse de ses éléments constitutifs et l'établissement de rapports entre l'ensemble des éléments de ce discours exprimant les possibilités d'intervention sur l'événement ou ses conséquences. Il s’agit en quelque sorte d’un travail de contact et d’échange et d’une opération de communication. À travers une approche intersémiotique du discours pragmatique, nous verrons comment le locuteur exploite les signes verbaux selon une stratégie communicative fondée sur l’efficacité, que ce soit au niveau politique ou pragmatique.
