description: Sport has not always been welcoming for LGBTQ+ individuals, an issue that persists at present. Participation in sport has also often been connected to limited ideas about gender, creating and maintaining limited ideas about men and masculinity and women and femininity. In this project, I explored LGBTQ+ inclusion and contemporary forms of masculinity in Canadian men’s rugby. The concepts of transformative inclusion and hegemonic masculinity were used to frame my study. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 rugby players, who were currently or recently active in men’s rugby in Canada. Informed by existing literature and my theoretical influences, thematic analysis of the interview transcripts led to the creation of four themes: (1) constructions of masculinity in the rugby context, (2) prevalence of problematic language, (3) problematic and promising actions and behaviors, and (4) towards better LGBTQ+ inclusion. Despite stated support for LGBTQ+ players and some evidence of inclusive practices on certain rugby teams, there was nevertheless evidence of a hypermasculine and heteronormative culture that established overt and covert expectations of players on and off the field of play. Education is required to ensure that men’s rugby does become more meaningfully inclusive of gender and sexually diverse players, education that must incorporate conversations about the still limited ideas about masculinity in the context of the sport and more broadly.

description: We place new constraints on the contribution of blazars to the large-scale isotropic gamma-ray background (IGRB) by jointly analyzing the measured source count distribution (logN-logS) of blazars and the measured intensity and anisotropy of the IGRB. We find that these measurements point to a consistent scenario in which unresolved blazars make less than 20% of the IGRB intensity at 1-10 GeV while accounting for the majority of the measured anisotropy in that energy band. These results indicate that the remaining fraction of the IGRB intensity is made by a component with a low level of intrinsic anisotropy. We determine upper limits on the anisotropy from non-blazar sources, adopting the best-fit parameters of the measured source count distribution to calculate the unresolved blazar anisotropy. In addition, we show that the anisotropy measurement excludes some recently proposed models of the unresolved blazar population.

Computational Study of Metal-Organic Frameworks for CO2 Capture and Reduction

Subjects: subject: Chemistry--Physical

description: The escalating levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere present one of the most crucial environmental challenges facing humanity today. Carbon dioxide acts as a heat-trapping agent, leading to an increase in global temperatures. The consequences of unbridled carbon dioxide emissions are vast and concerning, encompassing the potential for widespread devastation to ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and significant economic and social upheaval. Hence, it is imperative that we undertake meaningful steps to curtail our carbon emissions and reduce the impact of this critical environmental issue. To this end, various technologies have been developed, including carbon dioxide capture and reduction. However, the state-of-the-art catalysts for both these technologies are often expensive and exhibit low selectivity. This thesis endeavors to identify alternative Metal Organic Framework based catalysts for both the capture and reduction of carbon dioxide. Metal Organic Frameworks present an excellent alternative due to their tunability. To assess the ability of the HCALF- 50 and CALF-50 MOFs for carbon dioxide capture, Molecular Dynamics Simulations were employed. It was discovered that both systems, especially CALF-50, were unstable due to temperature variations. Nonetheless, the use of template molecules allowed the systems to retain their configurations. Regrettably, neither system proved capable of capturing carbon dioxide, as determined by the diffusion of carbon dioxide between the pores of both systems. The Computation-Ready Experimental Metal-Organic Framework database was utilized to identify Metal Organic Frameworks for the reduction reaction. For this reaction, the focus was on the two-electron reaction since carbon monoxide is a precursor to the production of syngas. Three Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks, specifically ZIF-8, ZIF-70, and ZIF-82, were identified and studied using Density Functional Theory. It was determined that the newly identified ZIF-70 and ZIF-82 were not suitable candidates towards the production of carbon monoxide, and preferentially produced hydrogen gas. Consequently, the findings of this study indicate that HCALF-50 and CALF-50 are inadequate for capturing carbon dioxide, while two catalysts, ZIF-70 and ZIF-82, have been identified as unsuitable catalysts for the reduction reaction to carbon monoxide.

description: Knowledge of the dynamical behavior of correlations with no classical counterpart, like entanglement, nonlocal correlations and quantum discord, in open quantum systems is of primary interest because of the possibility to exploit these correlations for quantum information tasks. Here we review some of the most recent results on the dynamics of correlations in bipartite systems embedded in non-Markovian environments that, with their memory effects, influence in a relevant way the system dynamics and appear to be more fundamental than the Markovian ones for practical purposes. Firstly, we review the phenomenon of entanglement revivals in a two-qubit system for both independent environments and a common environment. We then consider the dynamics of quantum discord in non-Markovian dephasing channel and briefly discuss the occurrence of revivals of quantum correlations in classical environments.

description: This session calls for the fundamental reconfiguration of cultural landscapes, in response to the problematic importation of Western urban design approaches and terminology. The use of imported language, often without consideration for the Indigenous peoples of a place, can perpetuate colonial values and mindsets. Indigenous, and particularly Māori, conceptions of the natural and built environments need to be more than the ‘browning up’ of Western urban design principles, and more than an afterthought to settler-colonial approaches to urban design. The arrival of New Urbanism in Aotearoa heralded a new wave of colonialism, and one which largely disregarded Māori interests. Urban design became a site for assimilationist Pākehā practices and policies. Hapū and iwi, by and large, have been and continue to be largely non-participants in ‘urban design’ conversations and up until now, Māori practitioners have only been chipping away at the edges. In 2006, the Te Aranga Māori Cultural Landscape Strategy first articulated Māori design interests and aspirations. With Te Aranga as a starting point, we are calling for a cultural landscape lexicon based on mātauranga Māori, to unlock a new conversation which critically involves mana whenua as central to any cultural landscape discussion. Following on from the successful and very intentional reclamation of the reo in kaupapa Māori initiatives in health, education, housing, justice, and social services since the 1980s, we argue that this conversation and reframing of ‘urban design’ is long overdue. The session will begin with 3 short presentations, highlighting practical experiences and a fundamental shift in the ways that ‘urban design’ is taught and practiced, starting with a Māori cultural landscapes lexicon. Following these presentations, there will be an interactive, facilitated kōrero amongst the panelists and the audience. Here, we will explore these issues and the call to contribute to a national discussion on the development of a Māori lexicon for ‘urbanism’ and ‘urban design approaches’ that honour and acknowledge the unique cultural and historic perspectives of tangata whenua.

description: We show a large N reduction on S^3 in a BPS sector for a broad class of theories : N>=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory with any number of adjoint and bi-fundamental chiral multiplets.We show that a localization method can be applied to the reduced model and the path integral can be written by a multi-contour integral. By taking a particular localization configuration, we also show that the large N equivalence between the original theory on S^3 and the reduced model holds for the free energy and the expectation value of BPS Wilson loops. It turns out that the large N reduction on S^3 holds also for the M-theory limit.

Male participants' experiences of receiving contact during group-based psychotherapy interventions : a multiple case study
Creators: name: Nickason, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This research study examined male participants' experiences of receiving contact during group-based psychotherapy interventions. According to the literature, there is no empirical information on the effects of receiving contact, specifically with male therapy groups, and inclusion of receiving contact as an intervention variable for trauma processing. A qualitative multiple case study research design was used, and included analysis to identify contact experiences, and frequencies of common contact codes from the participants. The overall outcomes of this study revealed that receiving contact during trauma processing has significantly positive reparative effects in affect regulation while engaged in heightened past trauma event arousal states, and simultaneous activation of adaptive cognitive, affect and sensorimotor responses, and positive integration and awareness of the self. Additionally, contact experiences suggest it has a direct positive influence on diffusing socially constructed maladaptive male gender roles, and influencing men’s relational awareness of adaptive and authentic attachment bond experiencing.

description: Criticism, as intellectual posture in analysing reality, is tightly joined to Modernity, no matter how problematic such a link could often be. As a matter of fact, if criticism has led to modern society through the Enlightenment, its errors or deceptions often cause the coming back to irrationality and individualism. Moreover ambiguity results from criticism itself, even in its greatest achievements as tolerance and freedom. Granted to our selves, these principles are less evident when others' opinions or beliefs are involved.
 On the other hand, criticism may cause a nihilistic meaninglessness in a postmodern society risking to disunite itself. But criticism and rhetoric reason could be the instruments of a renewed collective will whose aim would be the comprehension of reality through a pragmatic and experimental knowledge and without any prejudice. This is the task of a postmodern practice of collective discussion.

Static electromagnetic fields and charged black holes in general covariant theory of Horava-Lifshitz gravity

description: In this paper, we study electromeganetic static spacetimes in the nonrelativisitc general covariant theory of the Horava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity, proposed recently by Horava and Melby-Thompson, and present all the electric static solutions, which represent the generalization of the Reissner-Nordstrom solution found in Einstein's general relativity (GR). The global/local structures of spacetimes in the HL theory in general are different from those given in GR, because the dispersion relations of test particles now contain high-order momentum terms, so the speeds of these particles are unbounded in the ultraviolet (UV). As a result, the conception of light-cones defined in GR becomes invalid and test particles do not follow geodesics. To study black holes in the HL theory, we adopt the geometrical optical approximations, and define a horizon as a (two-closed) surface that is free of spacetime singularities and on which massless test particles are infinitely redshifted. With such a definition, we show that some of our solutions give rise to (charged) black holes, although the radii of their horizons in general depend on the energies of the test particles.

For this reason, understanding the social communication clashes could give a better comprehension of the whole society and particularly of its political life.
 Controversy implies close attention to one's opponent's words.  Polemic discourse analysis tends then to consider how others' words and speeches are repeated, distorted or even manipulated. On the other hand, the degree of violence is conveyed in several kinds of speeches, the typology of which lets social intercourse be dealt with.

description: This paper, which relies mainly on a cultural studies and critical discourse analytical approach, aims to explore the emotional and discursive space marked out by Tony Blair' Reuters speech on "Public Life" (June 12, 2007) and the heated reaction it received from the British press. Delivered merely a fortnight before the Prime Minister stepped down from office, the speech, which famously  compared the media to "a feral beast" which "hunts in a pack", elaborated on the current crisis of trust affecting both politics and journalism and helped to spark a much needed debate on the ethical and practical challenges facing both 'communities of practice' in order to rekindle civic participation in the political public sphere.

L’argomento “ad hominem”: riflessioni sulle funzioni della violenza verbale

name: Colombini Mantovani (Traduzione A Cura Di), Adriana
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2010
Subjects: argument ad hominem, dissensus ; violence verbale ; violence fonctionnelle ; nouvelle rhétorique

description: The aim of this paper is to argue that the attack against someone else, as a kind of argument ad hominem, has a civic utility when it gives issue to polemic antagonism. Verbal violence can therefore be seen as functional: a way to express dissension within society and to regulate it. In opposition to the rhetorical search for common agreement, the ad hominem can nevertheless be studied as a discourse strategy attacking someone in order to force him to an antagonist point of view. As a public discussion, the success of this sort of argument relies on the agreement of the group and then on its adequacy to formal rules of social interaction, no matter how manipulated the polemic argument could be.
 The ethical perspective is thus the very question to be considered in analysing the ad hominem strategy. Its utility as a regulation of violence through its moving on the ground of verbal confrontation couldn't in any way legitimate the fact that polemic expression turns into physical violence or even suggests it, disrupting the thin space where violence can be expressed, by argumentation, as a passionate but regulated antagonism.

description: A recent and influential view in the free will literature purports that we do not have the sort of free will required to be morally responsible. Optimists about this possibility claim that, although we should be sceptical about moral responsibility, we have good reasons to believe our lives would remain more or less unchanged. Many of the attitudes we take to be centrally important to meaningful interpersonal relationships, they claim, are unaffected by the sceptical perspective. In this dissertation, I challenge this optimistic claim. To do so, I assess whether key components of the sceptical argument preclude the aptness of expressing attitudes such as forgiveness or love. Of particular importance to the sceptical perspective is the claim that, in deterministic worlds, an agent's actions are relevantly similar to actions that are the result of manipulation. Nevertheless, the optimist maintains that determinism does not threaten attitudes like love and forgiveness. So, given the relevant similarity between causally determined actions and manipulated actions, we should expect that cases featuring invasive manipulation do not affect our assessment of the aptness of certain reactive attitudes important to our interpersonal relationships. This, I argue, is incorrect. In chapters 2 and 3, I utilize radical role reversal cases featuring invasive manipulation to show that, because of the manipulation, both forgiveness and love are inapt. Since, according to the optimist, these cases are relevantly similar to ordinary deterministic cases, at least two of the attitudes required for meaningful relationships are threatened by the sceptical perspective. In Chapter 4, I identify ownership of our actions as a necessary condition common to the reactive attitudes we take to be important for our relationships. Upon explicating the details of this ownership, it seems as though this, too, is threatened by the sceptical perspective. Hence, we have strong reason to be pessimistic about the sceptical perspective: contrary to their optimistic claims, living without moral responsibility would seemingly change our lives for the worse.

description: We study the properties of the Schrödinger-type non-relativistic holography for general dynamical exponent z with and without hyperscaling violation exponent θ. The scalar correlation function has a more general form due to general z as well as the presence of θ, whose effects also modify the scaling dimension of the scalar operator. We propose a prescription for minimal surfaces of this "codimension 2 holography," and demonstrate the (d-1) dimensional area law for the entanglement entropy from (d+3) dimensional Schrödinger backgrounds. Surprisingly, the area law is violated for d+1 < z < d+2, even without hyperscaling violation, which interpolates between the logarithmic violation and extensive volume dependence of entanglement entropy. Similar violations are also found in the presence of the hyperscaling violation. Their dual field theories are expected to have novel phases for the parameter range, including Fermi surface. We also analyze string theory embeddings using non-relativistic branes.

description: ICU can be a life-altering experience for patients and their families. ICU survivors may face a multitude of complications after their hospital stay that have been collectively termed Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). In the current global environment of the COVID-19 pandemic, ICUs across the world have seen a drastic increase in ICU patients. It has been recognized within the ICU community that a better understanding of the post-ICU population is needed as there is a lack of understanding about what the ICU survivor experiences after hospital discharge and what resources may support them to manage best or avoid PICS. To examine the experience of former ICU patients, the qualitative method of Interpretive Description was utilized. Patients who participated in the ICU recovery clinic in Alberta, Canada, were invited to participate in a 45-minute interview about their experience with ICU and their life after hospital discharge. Three former ICU patients were interviewed virtually to share their experiences. The results of this study found themes in data analysis that include communication challenges, living with uncertainty, and post-ICU fallout. These themes do not occur in isolation but are interconnected and can impact the other themes, which ultimately can impact ICU survivors’ recovery. Participants expressed frustration with various communication challenges they experienced both during and after ICU, and the impact of visitation restrictions on their experience. Participants also expressed emotion about the uncertainty they face after an ICU admission, including uncertainty about what happened in ICU and uncertainty with their present and future. Finally, participants discussed their experience of living with the fallout of an ICU admission and the benefit of attending the ICU recovery clinic. The results of this study highlight the need for broader awareness and education for health professionals on the potential complications faced by ICU survivors after discharge. This study also shows support for specialized follow-up services, like the ICU recovery clinic. Specialized follow-up allowed each of the participants to be viewed holistically, beyond their medical diagnosis or physical impairment, and for the first time each had their experience normalized.

description: The relativistic quantum field theory is the unique theory that combines the relativity and quantum theory and is invariant under the Poincaré transformation. The ground state, vacuum, is singlet and one particle states are transformed as elements of irreducible representation of the group. The covariant one particles are momentum eigenstates expressed by plane waves and extended in space. Although the S-matrix defined with initial and final states of these states hold the symmetries and are applied to isolated states, out-going states for the amplitude of the event that they are detected at a finite-time interval T in experiments are expressed by microscopic states that they interact with, and are surrounded by matters in detectors and are not plane waves. These matter-induced effects modify the probabilities observed in realistic situations. The transition amplitudes and probabilities of the events are studied with the S-matrix, $S[\text T]$, that satisfies the boundary condition at T. Using $S[\text T]$, the finite-size corrections of the form of ${1/\text T}$ are found. The corrections to the Fermi's golden rule become larger than the original values in some situations for light particles. They break Lorentz invariance even in high energy region of short de Broglie wave lengths.

description: Adolescent sport-related concussion (SRC) is a growing public health concern. Relative to adult SRC, there exists a large gap in the literature concerning adolescents, with few studies focusing on blood biomarkers relevant to SRC. Multiple studies in this thesis aim to increase our understanding of how blood biomarkers associated with SRC may present in athletic adolescents. This thesis begins by reviewing the current landscape of SRC biomarkers (i.e., glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin-c-terminal hydrolase L1 [UCH-L1], neurofilament light [NF-L], and tau) and their possible roles in clinical management. Limitations to the SRC biomarker literature precluding their progress towards clinical validation are also highlighted. The neuroinflammatory response to concussion is then discussed in more detail, emphasizing potential covariables that may influence SRC biomarkers. Plasma biomarker levels [GFAP, UCH-L1, NF-L, total tau (T-tau), and P-tau-181] are then characterized with respect to age, sex, and previous concussion in healthy adolescents. This thesis then discusses the impact of replicate error in biomarker measurements at low concentrations and explores multiple biostatistical approaches to optimizing statistical precision in biomarker data analysis. Finally, the associations between SRC and plasma biomarker levels are examined in adolescent sport participants to investigate whether biomarkers are sensitive to SRC at various timepoints throughout recovery. The collective work of this thesis demonstrates that multiple confounding variables may influence GFAP, UCH-L1, NF-L, and tau in adolescents. First, in healthy individuals, UCH-L1 and P-tau-181 differed by sex, and age was negatively associated with GFAP. Secondly, this thesis showed that varying levels of agreement in these biomarkers samples from these healthy adolescents warranted a multilevel modelling approach using both replicates in analysis (as opposed to excluding sample duplicates based on arbitrary variation thresholds) to produce optimally precise estimates of association. Lastly, the work herein provides evidence suggesting GFAP, UCH-L1, NF-L, and T-tau are sensitive to SRC at various times throughout recovery in adolescents. Furthermore, results emphasize the importance of analyzing these biomarkers with respect to age and sex. The findings presented in this thesis make a significant contribution to the field of adolescent SRC biomarkers and support their continued use for investigating adolescent SRC neuropathophysiology.
A spectral sequence for fusion systems

description: We build a spectral sequence converging to the cohomology of a fusion system with a strongly closed subgroup. This spectral sequence is related to the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence and coincides with it for the case of an extension of groups. Nevertheless, the new spectral sequence applies to more general situations like finite simple groups with a strongly closed subgroup and exotic fusion systems with a strongly closed subgroup. We prove an analogue of a result of Stallings in the context of fusion preserving homomorphisms and deduce Tate's p-nilpotency criterion as a corollary.

Per un'idea di infanzia (e dell'età adulta): immagini del bambino nella narrativa europea dell’Ottocento
Creators: name: Marcheschi, Daniela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano

description: Il bambino come incarnazione di una libertà nuova a cui aspira l'uomo dell'Ottocento. Alla luce di tale evidenza, a partire dal valore nuovo che Rousseau attribuisce all'educazione del bambino e dalla creazione, da parte di Hugo, del personaggio di Gavroche, “gamin de Paris,” birichino o ragazzo di strada autonomo e sovversivo, ma innocente e libero, sono qui analizzate diverse immagini o figure trasgressive del bambino nella narrativa europea dell'Ottocento: da Twain alla Sand, da Flaubert a Dickens, da Andersen a Collodi e al suo immortale, monello per eccellenza, Pinocchio.

description: We experimentally demonstrated that infrared light imprinted with orbital angular momentum (OAM) was linearly converted into visible light using four-wave mixing (FWM) via a ladder-type configuration in 85Rb atoms. Simultaneously, we theoretically simulated this linear conversion process, and the theoretical analysis was in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. A large single-photon detuning process was used to reduce the absorption of the atoms to the up-converted light and to avoid pattern formation in the FWM process. The multi-mode image linear conversion process is important for applications including image communications, astrophysics and quantum information.

Le cento tempere delle Rime di viaggio per la terra di-pinta di Alfonso Gatto
Creators: name: Affinito, Mara

description: Alfonso Gatto, con la personale del 1943 a Milano negli spazi della Galleria dell’Annunciata, rende pubblica, per la prima volta, la sua intima aspirazione pittorica. Ventisei anni dopo, nuovamente a Milano, nei locali della Galleria del Naviglio, il poeta espone un corpus di cento pitture, nate dall’intento di dar vita ad un’opera che fosse contestualmente d’immagine e di parola. Di essa resta l’esclusiva traccia poetica nel volume Rime di viaggio per la terra dipinta, pubblicato per volontà editoriale senza corredo iconografico. Il ritrovamento di un fondo fotografico correlato alle originarie pitture ha permesso di restituire al componimento poetico la sua fonte figurativa  ed approdare ad una lettura d’insieme dell’intera operazione artistica.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

description: L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner l’effet de l’émission des emprunts obligataires sur l’investissement privé dans les pays de l’UEMOA. Pour accomplir cette tâche, un modèle de la fonction d'investissement a été spécifié et estimé en considérant l'emprunt public, comme variable indépendante et en contrôlant pour un ensemble de variables. Les propriétés des séries ont été vérifiées à l'aide des tests de racine unitaire tandis que les relations de long terme et de court terme ont été estimées à l'aide du test de co-intégration de Pedroni et du modèle ARDL, respectivement. Les résultats montrent que l’émission des emprunts obligataires a une relation positive avec l'investissement privé à long terme, mais une relation statistiquement non significative à court terme. Cela suggère que l’emprunt public n'évince pas l'investissement à long terme.
