description: This dissertation examines the themes of rape and domestic violence in Zionist literature on the "Arab Question" published in Hebrew from the last years of Ottoman rule in Palestine through to the 1929 riots that erupted during the British Mandate. By bringing to light the import of rape and domestic violence in works by authors such as L.A. Arieli, Yehuda Burla, Aharon Reuveni, Yitzhak Shami, and Shoshana Shababo, I demonstrate that Zionist motions of race and gender developed in an intertwined manner as writers imagined the future of Jewish-Arab relations in Palestine. Moreover, while scholarly treatments of gender in the yishuv have thus far largely concentrated on questions of masculinity, I show how reading for masculinity and femininity together reveals Zionism's horror-stricken sexual underbelly; as authors do away with early fantasies of Jewish-Arab interweaving in an increasingly volatile political climate, they translate pogrom-associated fears of bodily violation from Russian and Eastern European settings into the Palestine arena. In novels, short stories, poetry, medical literature, and propaganda pamphlets Zionist intellectuals also urge reform of Jewish family life, sexual partnering, and hygiene education--this, all the while that they mount a case against turning to the Arabs as a viable folk source and partner for the New Jew.

description: We develop a perturbation theory for the lifetime and emission intensity for isolated resonances in asymmetric resonant cavities. The inverse lifetime $Γ$ and the emission intensity $I(θ)$ in the open system are expressed in terms of matrix elements of operators evaluated with eigenmodes of the closed resonator. These matrix elements are calculated in a semiclassical approximation which allows us to represent $Γ$ and $I(θ)$ as sums over the contributions of rays which escape the resonator by refraction.

description: In the MW bulge, metal-rich stars form a strong bar and are more peanut-shaped than metal-poor stars. It has been recently claimed that this behavior is driven by the initial in-plane radial velocity dispersion of these populations, rather than by their initial vertical random motions. This has led to the suggestion that a thick disc is not necessary to explain the characteristics of the MW bulge. We rediscuss this issue by analyzing two dissipationless N-body simulations of boxy/peanut (b/p)-shaped bulges formed from composite stellar discs, made of kinematically cold and hot stellar populations, and we conclude that initial vertical random motions are as important as in-plane random motions in determining the relative contribution of cold and hot disc populations with height above the plane, the metallicity and age trends. Previous statements emphasizing the dominant role of in-plane motions in determining these trends are not confirmed. However, differences exist in the morphology and strength of the resulting b/p-shaped bulges: a model where disc populations have initially only different in-plane random motions, but similar thickness, results into a b/p bulge where all populations have a similar peanut shape, independently on their initial kinematics, or metallicity. We discuss the reasons behind these differences, and also predict the signatures that these two extreme initial conditions would leave on the vertical age and metallicity gradients of disc stars, outside the bulge region. We conclude that a metal-poor, kinematically (radial and vertical) hot component, that is a thick disc, is necessary in the MW before bar formation, supporting the scenario traced in previous works.

description: In this paper, we study a distributed optimization problem for a class of high-order multi-agent systems with unknown dynamics. In comparison with existing results for integrators or linear agents, we need to overcome the difficulties brought by the unknown nonlinearities and also the optimization requirement. For this purpose, we employ an embedded control based design and first convert this problem into an output stabilization problem. Then, two kinds of adaptive controllers are given for these agents to drive their outputs to the global optimal solution under some mild conditions. Finally, we show that the estimated parameter vector converges to the true parameter vector under some well-known persistence of excitation condition. The efficacy of these algorithms was verified by a simulation example.

Words Full of Deed: Prophets and Prophecy in German Literature around 1800
Creators: Walsh, Patrick Joseph
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2017
Subjects: German literature
Prophets in literature
Prophecies in literature
German drama

description: In this dissertation, I consider the role of prophets and prophecy in German drama and dramatic discourse of the Romantic period. Against the backdrop of the upheaval wrought by the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, such discourse exhibits a conspicuous fascination with political and social crisis in general as well as a preoccupation with imagining how the crises of the present could provide an opportunity for national or civilizational renewal. One prominent manifestation of this focus is a pronounced interest in charismatic leaders of the legendary or historical past—among them prophets like Moses, Muhammad and Joan of Arc—who succeeded in uniting their respective societies around a novel vision of collective destiny. In order to better understand the appeal of such figures during this period, I examine works of drama and prose fiction that feature prophets as their protagonists and that center on scenarios of political or religious founding. Reading texts by major authors like Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Friedrich Schiller and Achim von Arnim alongside those by the lesser-known writers such as Karoline von Günderrode, August Klingemann and Joseph von Hammer, I analyze the various ways these scenarios are staged and situate them within their specific political, intellectual and literary contexts. In so doing, I show that the figure of the prophet—a figure whose authority is based not on their own wisdom, talent, or cunning, but rather on their claim to speak for a higher, superhuman power—offers authors a paradigm of political and cultural innovation that radically displaces the agency of the rational subject in favor of non-rational factors like language, performance, history, myth and the emotions. Moreover, I argue that this figure reveals an important connection between the history of drama in this period and an emergent, post-Enlightenment political discourse concerned with the origin and nature of sovereignty.
Diet and Mental Wellbeing : Within a biopsychosocial framework and a planetary health rationale
Creators: name: Rossa-Roccor, Verena
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This project employed a community-cation oriented research framework and included stakeholders from the University of British Columbia (UBC) throughout the entire research process. The stakeholder group was comprised of staff members and management from UBC Student Housing and Hospitality Services (first and foremost UBC Food Services), UBC Wellbeing, UBC Sustainability. Relevant to the stakeholder audience at UBC in particular, this study describes trends of dietary choices and behaviours as well as mental health and wellbeing in the university’s undergraduate student population. This study further addresses a gap in the research literature by assessing whether plant-based diets are associated with mental health and wellbeing in a population of young adults under careful consideration of a biopsychosocial framework that is nested within the idea of planetary boundaries thus linking human health to the health of the planet. The purpose of this project is to integrate the specific findings of the study into a broader understanding of what constitutes a sustainable and healthy food system on campus. Based on stakeholders’ and researchers’ subject expertise, an extensive literature review and the specific findings of this study, this report provides actionable recommendations on diet and mental wellbeing in students while applying a sustainability lens. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Galaxy Formation -- a Condensation Process just after Recombination
Creators: name: Lessner, Gerhard
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A scenario of galaxy formation is put forward which is a process of sudden condensation just after recombination. It is essentially based on the fact that the cosmic matter gas after recombination is a general relativistic Boltzmann gas which runs within a few $10^6$ years into a state very close to collision--dominated equilibrium. The mass spectrum of axially symmetric condensation "drops" extends from the lower limit M about $10^5$ solar masses to the upper limit M about $10^{12}$ solar masses. The lower limit masses are spheres whereas the upper limit masses are extremely thin pancakes. These pancakes contract within a time of about $2.5 \cdot 10^9 y$ to fastly rotating spiral galaxies with ordinary proportions. In this final state they have a redshift z about 3. At an earlier time during their contraction they are higly active and are observed with a redshift z about 5.

description: We explore planet formation in the HL Tau disk and possible origins of the prominent gaps and rings observed by ALMA. We investigate whether dust gaps are caused by dynamically trapped planetary embryos at the ice lines of abundant volatiles. The global properties of the HL Tau disk (total mass, size) at its current age are used to constrain an evolving analytic disk model describing its temperature and density profiles. By performing a detailed analysis of the planet-disk interaction for a planet near the water ice line including a rigorous treatment of the dust opacity, we confirm that water is sufficiently abundant (1.5x10^-4 molecules per H) to trap planets at its ice line due to an opacity transition. When the abundance of water is reduced by 50% planet trapping disappears. We extend our analysis to other planet traps: the heat transition, dead zone edge, and the CO_2 ice line and find similar trapping. The formation of planets via planetesimal accretion is computed for dynamically trapped embryos at the water ice line, dead zone, and heat transition. The end products orbit in the inner disk (R < 3 AU), unresolved by ALMA, with masses that range between sub-Earth to 5 Jupiter masses. While we find that the dust gaps correspond well with the radial positions of the CO_2 , CH_4 , and CO ice lines, the planetesimal accretion rates at these radii are too small to build large embryos within 1 Myr.

Public Consultation Data Analysis : A Review of Qualitative Data Analysis Methods in Planning and Engagement
Creators: name: Solmundson, Maureen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This project is part of the UBC SEEDS Sustainability program and is in partnership with UBC’s Campus and Community Planning (C+CP) department. The project seeks to advance the ability of C+CP staff to analyze community feedback and report back on what they heard through public consultation in a more robust and meaningful way. To accomplish this, the project consisted of three parts: background research, informant interviews and a document analysis of consultation summary reports from various organizations. Thirteen informants were interviewed and ten consultation summary reports were reviewed, along with two C+CP documents. The report is organized around four key insights that emerged from the document review and informant interviews. These include: 1. Data analysis is just one part of the process. How you design the engagement, the questions asked, and what you do with the data is more important. 2. It’s not just about numbers, but the overall meaning. 3. Engagement by its very nature is biased and that is okay. Be upfront about who participated in the process and who did not. 4. Building trust and being accountable are essential. Integrated throughout the key findings sections are general ‘tips and tricks’ for all engagement professionals. C+CP is doing many of these already and can choose what to glean from these tips, if relevant. The findings revealed that C+CP is already doing many of the ‘best practices’ identified by other engagement professionals. A major limitation of this research was that there is a gap in the academic literature related to public opinion polling data analysis (related to qualitative data) methodologies. Another limitation was that informant interviews were conducted with experts working in non-academic settings. A recommendation of this report is to conduct further research with academic institutions and academic researchers on this topic. Coupled with this research, academic informants interviews could help C+CP improve their data analysis.

Work and Worship: Inari Shrines in Japan’s Commercial and Industrial Landscape, 1673-1864

description: With the figure of fox as the emblematic emissary, Inari—arguably the most popular Shinto deity in Japan—is often deemed polytheistic due to its diverse blessings, whether agricultural, commercial, or industrial, or all of these at once. In the common historical account, Inari worship began as an agricultural ritual and, affected by the soaring monetary economy from the seventeenth century onward, it attained other predicates. Through two main studies on Inari shrines, this dissertation refutes that limited narrative and demonstrates that the agricultural attribute was in turn accentuated with the monetary economy. One study revolves around the Mimeguri Shrine, enshrined in Tokyo at the turn of the eighteenth century by the magnate Mitsui family for their commerce. The other study deciphers the concatenation of the Coal Mountain Tutelary Shrine and Tōka Shrine, originally established in the late eighteenth century by the local feudal administration, Miike-han, for their coal production in the current Fukuoka prefecture. With these shrines, the respective commercial and coal enterprises were rendered agricultural as though contained within the dominant Tokugawa order, which idealized the rice-based economy. Nurturing in effect the profit of the Mitsui family and the extra revenue of Mike-han—constituting a surplus, as this dissertation argues—the Inari worships of the merchant and the regional administration produced labor times. The presence of those shrines in this study serves as the metonymy of a contradictory process whereby even a deity was “alienated” under the command of money as if were fooled by its own emissary, the fox.

If $R$ is noetherian and $A^\circ$ is pure in $R^A$, then the categories of rational left $A$-modules and right $A^\circ$-comodules are isomorphic. In the Hopf algebra case, we can also strengthen the Blattner-Montgomery duality theorem. Finally, we give sufficient conditions to get the purity of $A^\circ$ in $R^A$.

description: This research report presents an analysis of the state of the art of modeling Internet of Things (IoT)-aware business processes. IOT links the physical world to the digital world. Traditionally, we would find information about events and processes in the physical world in the digital world entered by humans and humans using this information to control the physical world. In the IoT paradigm, the physical world is equipped with sensors and actuators to create a direct link with the digital world. Business processes are used to coordinate a complex environment including multiple actors for a common goal, typically in the context of administrative work. In the past few years, we have seen research efforts on the possibilities to model IoT- aware business processes, extending process coordination to real world entities directly. This set of research efforts is relatively small when compared to the overall research effort into the IoT and much of the work is still in the early research stage. To create a basis for a bridge between IoT and BPM, the goal of this report is to collect and analyze the state of the art of existing frameworks for modeling IoT-aware business processes.

Tergum 9 with few sensilla basiconica posteriorly; tergum 10 bearing a larger patch of sensilla basiconica (Figs. 2b, 2d); paraprocts sclerotized, curved upward in a hook shape to the posterior margin of tergum 10 (Fig. 2d). Sternum 9 with an oval hammer at the middle of the posterior margin (Fig. 2c).
Aedeagus mostly membranous. Aedeagal sclerites sclerotized, stem slender, length nearly same as Y-arms. Y-arms wide and flat, long and triangular in shape, connected with stem at near 1/2 of the length; base wide, apex concave and tapering outward and hook shaped; lateral sclerites slender and slightly sclerotized, the width was ca. 1/3 times of Y-arms; medial sclerite basally thick, apex tapering with tiny spines (Fig. 2e).
 Female. Unknown.
 Type material. Holotype: male, China: Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou City, Taishun County, Wuyanling National Nature Reserve, 680 m, 2005-V-7, leg. Wang Yi-Ping. Paratypes: 3 males, same data as the holotype.
 Etymology. The name complana (from the word complanate) refers to the sclerites of aedeagus that are wide and flat.
 Distribution. China, Zhejiang Province.
 Diagnosis. Sinacroneuria complana sp. nov. is similar to S. acuticornis Uchida, 2017 by sharing similar structural characteristics of the aedeagal Y-arms. The lateral sclerites of aedeagus of S. complana are slender and nearly equal to the Y-arms (Fig. 2e), while that in S. acuticornis are shorter and about 1/2 length of the Y-arms (Figs. 42–44 in Li et al. 2017). Additionally, the tergum 9 sensilla basiconica patch of S. complana (Fig. 2d) is markedly sparser compared to S. acuticornis (Fig. 38 in Li et al. 2017). Sinacroneuria complana sp. nov. is also easily separated from S. lateralis Sivec & Stark, 2020. The apex of Y-arms in S. lateralis (Fig. 1g in Sivec & Stark 2020) are more separated from each other yet closed to each other in S. complana (Fig. 2e).

description: Starting point is a given semigroup of completely positive maps on the 2 times 2 matrices. This semigroup describes the irreversible evolution of a decaying 2-level atom. Using the integral-sum kernel approach to quantum stochastic calculus we couple the 2-level atom to an environment, which in our case will be interpreted as the electromagnetic field. The irreversible time evolution of the 2-level atom then stems from the reversible time evolution of atom and field together. Mathematically speaking, we have constructed a Markov dilation of the semigroup. The next step is to drive the atom by a laser and to count the photons emitted into the field by the decaying 2-level atom. For every possible sequence of photon counts we construct a map that gives the time evolution of the 2-level atom inferred by that sequence. The family of maps that we obtain in this way forms a so-called Davies process. In his book Davies describes the structure of these processes, which brings us into the field of quantum trajectories. Within our model we calculate the jump operators and we briefly describe the resulting counting process.

description: In this paper, a distributed optimal steady-state regulation problem is formulated and investigated for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances. We aim to steer this high-order multi-agent network to a prescribed steady-state determined as the optimal solution of a resource allocation problem in a distributed way. To solve this problem, we employ an embedded control design and convert the formulated problem to two simpler subproblems. Then, both state-feedback and output feedback controls are presented under mild assumptions to solve this problem with disturbance rejection. Moreover, we extend these results to the case with only real-time gradient information by high-gain control techniques. Finally, numerical simulations verify their effectiveness.

description: With the application of work-based learning theory and cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) via qualitative research methods, this study considered the reported learning experiences of a group of multidisciplinary practitioners who employed the edX platform in the delivery of massive open online courses (MOOC) for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This exploratory case study focused on a pioneering MOOC program, established in 2014 at the Hemispheric Development Fund (fictional organization name) for offering professional development opportunities to the LAC region. Using interviews, observation, and document analysis, it identified the kinds of knowledge, skills, or behaviors, as well as the multidisciplinary collaborations and organizational conditions that participants considered critical for the successful performance of their work activities. The study included 20 participants, divided evenly among 4 subject matter experts, 4 instructional designers, 4 media producers, 4 platform technicians, and 4 administrative assistants. The study was based on the premise that improving our understanding of the work activities and related learning experiences among participants may benefit the training of future practitioners and organizations interested in the multidisciplinary design of edX MOOCs for LAC and, thus, may contribute to the improved adoption of the edX MOOC platform for developing regions. Through the iterative modeling and analysis of activity systems, as well as illuminating the significant incidents and systemic tensions reported by participants as potential triggers for their learning, four key findings emerged: 1) The totality of participants described experiences of work-based learning as they engaged in activities of value production during the MOOC design cycle; 2) Developing practical knowledge in the preparation and administration of educational resources or learning activities, and mastering effective communication skills enabled participants to excel in the performance of their work activities; 3) The need for improving organizational processes was cited as the most essential contextual condition impacting participants’ work performance; and 4) A majority of participants expected future learning pressures at work in response to constant changes with the technological tools they employ for doing their jobs.

description: Dynamical scaling in a two-dimensional lattice model of chaotic maps, in contact with a thermal bath, is numerically studied. The model here proposed is equivalent to a conserved Ising model with coupligs which fluctuate over the same time scale as spin moves. When couplings fluctuations and thermal fluctuations are both important, this model does not belong to the class of universality of a Langevin equation known as model B; the scaling exponents are continuously varying with the temperature and depend on the map used. The universal behavior of model B is recovered when thermal fluctuations are dominant.

description: The five-dimensional (5D) Riemannian Gödel-type manifolds are examined in light of the equivalence problem techniques, as formulated by Cartan. The necessary and sufficient conditions for local homogeneity of these 5D manifolds are derived. The local equivalence of these homogeneous Riemannian manifolds is studied. It is found that they are characterized by two essential parameters $m^2$ and $ω$: identical pairs $(m^2, ω)$ correspond to locally equivalent 5D manifolds. An irreducible set of isometrically nonequivalent 5D locally homogeneous Riemannian Gödel-type metrics are exhibited. A classification of these manifolds based on the essential parameters is presented, and the Killing vector fields as well as the corresponding Lie algebra of each class are determined. It is shown that apart from the $(m^2= 4 ω^2, ω\not=0)$ and $(m^2\not=0, ω= 0)$ classes the homogeneous Riemannian Gödel-type manifolds admit a seven-parameter maximal group of isometry ($G_7$). The special class $(m^2= 4 ω^2, ω\not=0)$ and the degenerated Gödel-type class $(m^2\not=0, ω=0)$ are shown to have a $G_9$ as maximal group of motion. The breakdown of causality in these classes of homogeneous Gödel-type manifolds are also examined.

description: A class of exact, anisotropic cosmological solutions to the vacuum Brans-Dicke theory of gravity is considered within the context of the pre-big bang scenario. Included in this class are the Bianchi type III, V and VI_h models and the spatially isotropic, negatively curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. The effects of large anisotropy and spatial curvature are determined. In contrast to negatively curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model, there exist regions of the parameter space in which the combined effects of curvature and anisotropy prevent the occurrence of inflation. When inflation is possible, the necessary and sufficient conditions for successful pre-big bang inflation are more stringent than in the isotropic models. The initial state for these models is established and corresponds in general to a gravitational plane wave.

description: We study solutions of the Bogomolny equation on R^2\times S^1$ with prescribed singularities. We show that Nahm transform establishes a one-to-one correspondence between such solutions and solutions of the Hitchin equations on a punctured cylinder with the eigenvalues of the Higgs field growing at infinity in a particular manner. The moduli spaces of solutions have natural hyperkahler metrics of a novel kind. We show that these metrics describe the quantum Coulomb branch of certain N=2 d=4 supersymmetric gauge theories on R^3\times S^1. The Coulomb branches of the corresponding uncompactified theories have been previously determined by E. Witten using the M-theory fivebrane. We show that the Seiberg-Witten curves of these theories are identical to the spectral curves associated to solutions of the Bogomolny equation on R^2\times S^1. In particular, this allows us to rederive Witten's results without recourse to the M-theory fivebrane.

Spectral Statistics and Dynamical Localization: sharp transition in a generalized Sinai billiard

description: We consider a Sinai billiard where the usual hard disk scatterer is replaced by a repulsive potential with $V(r)\simλr^{-α}$ close to the origin. Using periodic orbit theory and numerical evidence we show that its spectral statistics tends to Poisson statistics for large energies when $α<2$ and to Wigner-Dyson statistics when $α>2$, while for $α=2$ it is independent of energy, but depends on $λ$. We apply the approach of Altshuler and Levitov [Phys. Rep. {\bf 288}, 487 (1997)] to show that the transition in the spectral statistics is accompanied by a dynamical localization-delocalization transition. This behaviour is reminiscent of a metal-insulator transition in disordered electronic systems.

description: In many biological materials with a hierarchical structure there is an intriguing and unique mechanism responsible for the 'propagation' of order from the molecular to the nano- or micro-scale level. Here we present a much simpler molecular system built of achiral mesogenic dimeric molecules that shows a similar complexity with four levels of structural chirality (i) layer chirality, (ii) helicity of a basic 4-layer repeating unit, (iii) a helix with a pitch of several layers and (iv) mesoscopic helical filaments. As seen in many biological systems, there is a coupling between chirality at different levels. The structures were identified by a combination of hard and soft x-ray diffraction measurements, optical studies and theoretical modelling.
