Gender stereotyping in elementary school textbooks
Creators: name: Ollivier, Kelly Elaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The problem under investigation in this study is whether gender stereotyping exists in elementary school textbooks, and if it does, is there any change in the sextyped images of males and females between the 1960’s and the 1980’s? Research on sexism in textbooks was more prevalent during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Since then, there has been a declining interest in the topic as researchers have turned their attention to other problem areas. One of the reasons for this declining interest is the belief that curriculum content has become more diverse and less stereotyped. This study involves an empirical investigation of differences in the portrayal of male and female characters in grade one elementary school textbooks using the method of content analysis. Twenty two textbooks were selected from the Prescribed, Authorized and Recommended material produced by the B.C. Ministry of Education. All human and human-like characters were coded and analyzed. The results indicate the presence of gender stereotyping in all three decades and support the findings of previous studies. The results of this study also show gender stereotyping of adult characters to be much more prevalent than it is for child characters. The portrayal of child characters is less stereotyped in the 1980’s than in the 1960’s and 1970’s. However, gender stereotyping of adult characters is, in some cases, more prevalent in the 1980’s than in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Overall, the results show us that children in the 1980’s are still reading textbooks that show significant gender stereotyping.

description: This master’s dissertation presents the annotated translation of chapter 7.1 from Jorn Albrecht’s book “Literary Translation” from German into Greek. The chapter focuses on the terms which are used to define freer forms of literary translation. These free forms of translation are explained through the quotation of literature and poetry excerpts. Τhe source text is analysed in its communication circumstances and the target text is studied in terms of skopos and translation strategy. The source text contains terminology from the fields of translation studies and literature, which makes the creation of a term glossary and the terminology documentation integral parts of this work. The dissertation concludes with the analysis of the translation problems encountered during the translation procedure and the techniques applied for their solution.

description: Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy was used to investigate the evolution of the electronic structure across the metal-insulator transition in bi-layer manganite $La_{1.24}Sr_{1.76}Mn_2O_7$. We found that this system is a metal for $TT^*$. These results indicate the critical role of electronic phase separation and percolation effects for the metal-insulator transition in $La_{1.24}Sr_{1.76}Mn_2O_7$.

description: In Stage-IV imaging surveys, a significant amount of the cosmologically useful information is due to sources whose images overlap with those of other sources on the sky. The cosmic shear signal is primarily encoded in the estimated shapes of observed galaxies and thus directly impacted by overlaps. We introduce a framework based on the Fisher formalism to analyze effects of overlapping sources (blending) on the estimation of cosmic shear. For the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we present the expected loss in statistical sensitivity for the ten-year survey due to blending. We find that for approximately 62% of galaxies that are likely to be detected in full-depth LSST images, at least 1% of the flux in their pixels is from overlapping sources. We also find that the statistical correlations between measures of overlapping galaxies and, to a much lesser extent the higher shot noise level due to their presence, decrease the effective number density of galaxies, $N_{eff}$, by $\sim$18%. We calculate an upper limit on $N_{eff}$ of 39.4 galaxies per arcmin$^2$ in $r$ band. We study the impact of varying stellar density on $N_{eff}$ and illustrate the diminishing returns of extending the survey into lower Galactic latitudes. We extend the Fisher formalism to predict the increase in pixel-noise bias due to blending for maximum-likelihood (ML) shape estimators. We find that noise bias is sensitive to the particular shape estimator and measure of ensemble-average shape that is used, and properties of the galaxy that include redshift-dependent quantities such as size and luminosity.

From our B -> pi l nu rate for q^2 > 16 GeV^2 and lattice QCD we find |V_{ub}| = (3.6 +- 0.4_stat +- 0.2_syst +0.6-0.4_thy) x 10^-3.

Η μεθοδολογία που χρησιμοποιήσαμε ήταν μία έρευνα εμπειρογνωμόνων προκειμένου να εκτιμήσουμε κατά πόσο οι θέσεις των κομμάτων κατά το διάστημα 2015-2018 ήταν λαϊκιστικές. Αρχικά, προσπαθήσαμε να προσεγγίσουμε το φαινόμενο του λαϊκισμού μέσα από ιστορικές εμπειρίες και ορισμούς καταλήγοντας στον ορισμό που εξυπηρετεί καλύτερα τους ερευνητικούς σκοπούς της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας. Έπειτα, επιχειρήσαμε μία σύνδεση του λαϊκισμού τόσο με τον Ευρωσκεπτικισμό όσο και με τις κρίσεις μιας και ο λαϊκισμός συνδέεται συχνά στον δημόσιο διάλογο και με τα δύο φαινόμενα. Στη συνέχεια, αναφερθήκαμε στον λαϊκισμό στην Ελλάδα (από το 1974 μέχρι το 2018) για να καταλήξουμε, τέλος, στην ανάλυση των δεδομένων της έρευνας εμπειρογνωμόνων σχετικά με τις θέσεις των κομμάτων η οποία αποτελούνταν από 19 ερωτήσεις σχετικά με θέματα λαϊκισμού, Ευρωσκεπτικισμό και μετανάστευση.
description: In the present thesis we aim to study populism in Greek political parties, the 8 parties elected in the September 2015 elections. The methodology through which research was conducted is an expert survey to estimate whether the parties’ positions during 2015-2018 were populist. Initially, we tried to approach the phenomenon of populism through historical experiences and definitions, ending with the definition that best serves the research purposes of this thesis. We then attempted to link populism to both Euroscepticism and crises, since populism is often linked in public debate to both phenomena. We then referred to populism in Greece (from 1974 to 2018) to finally analyze the data of the expert survey on party positions, which consisted of 19 questions about populism, Euroscepticism and immigration.

description: The time-dependent extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive 1/r interaction is investigated with both a variational approach and numerically exact calculations. We show that these condensates exhibit signatures known from the nonlinear dynamics of autonomous Hamiltonian systems. The two stationary solutions created in a tangent bifurcation at a critical value of the scattering length are identified as elliptical and hyperbolical fixed points, corresponding to stable and unstable stationary states of the condensate. The stable stationary state is surrounded by elliptical islands, corresponding to condensates periodically oscillating in time, whereas condensate wave functions in the unstable region undergo a collapse within finite time. For negative scattering lengths below the tangent bifurcation no stationary solutions exist, i.e., the condensate is always unstable and collapses.

description: The stories in this thesis feature women sacrificing parts of themselves in order to escape situations borne of societal pressure. The instances of emotional, mental, and physical sabotage my protagonists exact on themselves allow them to respond to the expectations placed on women. In "Into Thin Air," the expectations are professional and result in two women being distanced and detached from their bodies. In "Storied," an elderly woman's body is ruined through self-harm. And in "The Daughters," each woman becomes a mother on terms that extend beyond the simple desire to bear a child.

description: Inventory control is a sector where many companies struggle to reduce expenses by acquiring the appropriate amount of stock. In fashion industry, that phenomenon is greater since the alterations on demand are significant because of the continuous changing trends. Thus, the proper forecast of demand is arduous and only when we are close to the selling period a more stable situation is observed. The aim of this study is to determine which strategy is the most appropriate for fashion companies to follow. The period before the selling time is divided into fifteen intervals and the orders that belong to each interval have different characteristics. Ordering costs are lower the longer we are from the selling point, whereas as we move towards that period, the accuracy of the forecast demand increases. The research question is answered through the development and analysis of a simulation model. We study a fashion company that experiments different strategies into a specific environment with various conditions. The results of the simulation show that in most cases, it is wise to order the majority of the forecast amount in the early stages.
description: Ο έλεγχος των αποθεμάτων είναι ένας τομέας στον οποίο πολλές εταιρίες προσπαθούν να μειώσουν τις δαπάνες τους, αποκτώντας το κατάλληλο επίπεδο αποθεμάτων. Στην βιομηχανία της μόδας, αυτό το φαινόμενο είναι εντονότερο καθώς οι μεταβολές στη ζήτηση είναι σημαντικές λόγω της συνεχούς αλλαγής των τάσεων. Έτσι, η άρτια πρόβλεψη της ζήτησης είναι δύσκολη και μόνο όταν πλησιάζουμε στην περίοδο πωλήσεων παρατηρείται μια πιο σταθερή κατάσταση. Σκοπός αυτής της μελέτης είναι να καθορίσει ποια στρατηγική είναι η πλέον κατάλληλη για να ακολουθήσουν οι εταιρείες μόδας. Το διάστημα πριν από την περίοδο των πωλήσεων χωρίζεται σε δεκαπέντε διαστήματα και οι παραγγελίες που ανήκουν σε κάθε διάστημα, χαρακτηρίζονται από διαφορετικά στοιχεία. Τα έξοδα παραγγελίας είναι χαμηλότερα όσο πιο πολύ απέχουμε από την περίοδο των πωλήσεων, ενώ όσο πλησιάζουμε σε αυτήν, η ακρίβεια της πρόβλεψης για τη ζήτηση αυξάνεται. Το ερευνητικό ερώτημα απαντάται μέσω της ανάπτυξης και ανάλυσης ενός μοντέλου προσομοίωσης. Μελετάμε μια εταιρεία μόδας που δοκιμάζει διάφορες στρατηγικές σε ένα συγκεκριμένο περιβάλλον με διάφορους όρους. Τα αποτελέσματα της διαδικασίας της προσομοίωσης δείχνουν ότι στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις είναι ορθό το ποσοστό της παραγγελίας να ισούται με το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του ποσού της πρόβλεψης κατά τα αρχικά στάδια.

description: We prove the unconditional security of the original Bennett 1992 protocol with strong reference pulse. We show that we may place a projection onto suitably defined qubit spaces before the receiver, which makes the analysis as simple as qubit-based protocols. Unlike the single-photon-based qubits, the qubits identified in this scheme are almost surely detected by the receiver even after a lossy channel. This leads to the key generation rate that is proportional to the channel transmission rate for proper choices of experimental parameters.

description: Symmetry plays a fundamental role in the security analysis of quantum key distribution (QKD). Here we review how symmetry is exploited in continuous-variable (CV) QKD to prove the optimality of Gaussian attacks in the finite-size regime. We then apply these results to improve the efficiency, and thus the key rate, of these protocols. First we show how to improve the efficiency of the energy test, which is one important routine in a CV QKD protocol aimed at establishing an upper bound on the effective dimensions of the otherwise infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of CV systems. Second, we show how the routine of parameter estimation can be made resource efficient in measurement-device independent (MDI) QKD. These results show that all the raw data can be used both for key extraction and for the routines of energy test and parameter estimation.

Hormone and growth factor effects on the growth of human mammary epithelial cells in serum-free primary culture
Creators: name: Gabelman, Brett Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The ovarian steroid 17β-estradiol (E₂) is critically involved in the growth control of both normal and malignant mammary epithelial cells (MEC) in vivo. However, it has not yet been determined if E₂ directly stimulates the growth of MEC, or if it stimulates growth via production of locally acting autocrine and paracrine growth factors. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) are both peptide growth factors which interact with the EGF receptor (EGFR) to stimulate the growth of MEC in vivo and in vitro. E₂-stimulated growth in human breast cancer cell lines has been shown to be accompanied by increased production of EGF, TGF-α and EGFR. In this thesis the effects of E₂, EGF and TGF-α, alone and in combination, on the growth of human MEC (HMEC) in primary culture were examined. HMEC from reduction mammoplasties, fibroadenomas and carcinomas were cultured on collagen-coated dishes in serum-free medium (DME:F12 (1:1), 5 mg/ml BSA, 10 ng/ml choleratoxin, 0.5 μg/ml cortisol, 10 μg/ml insulin) in the presence and absence of E₂, EGF and TGF-α. Tritiated-thymidine (³H-TdR) incorporation into DNA was used as a measure of cell growth.E₂, at concentrations of 1-1000 nM, did not stimulate growth of any of the cultures examined in the serum-free medium described above. However, E₂ stimulated growth of 1 culture in medium with a reduced insulin concentration (0.1 μg/ml). E₂ inhibited the growth of HMEC in some cultures from all mammary tissue types examined. E₂ effects on HMEC growth were studied in cells grown on fibroblast feeder layers. E₂ still failed to stimulate growth of the cells, but the growth-inhibitory effects of E₂ differed in cells grown on collagen and fibroblasts. EGF,at concentrations of 1-100 ng/ml, consistently stimulated the growth of HMEC from all mammary tissue types examined. The EGF stimulation of growth was reduced by a monoclonal antibody (MAb 528) against the EGF receptor. TGF-α was equally or more effective in stimulating HMEC growth, although its dose response range was different than that of EGF. E₂ plus EGF synergized in the stimulation of HMEC growth in 33% of the samples examined. These studies suggest that E₂ alone under the conditions used cannot directly stimulate the growth of HMEC in primary culture. However, E₂ can exert effects on HMEC growth via modulation of the cells' response to EGF.

description: We derive the property of strong superadditivity of mutual information arising from the Markov property of the vacuum state in a conformal field theory and strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy. We show this inequality encodes unitarity bounds for different types of fields. These unitarity bounds are precisely the ones that saturate for free fields. This has a natural explanation in terms of the possibility of localizing algebras on null surfaces. A particular continuity property of mutual information characterizes free fields from the entropic point of view. We derive a general formula for the leading long distance term of the mutual information for regions of arbitrary shape which involves the modular flow of these regions. We obtain the general form of this leading term for two spheres with arbitrary orientations in spacetime, and for primary fields of any tensor representation. For free fields we further obtain the explicit form of the leading term for arbitrary regions with boundaries on null cones.

description: We present a new automatic code (ARES) for determining equivalent widths of the absorption lines present in stellar spectra. We also describe its use for determining fundamental spectroscopic stellar parameters. The code is written in C++ based on the standard method of determining EWs and is available for the community. The code automates the manual procedure that the users normally carry out when using interactive routines such as the splot routine implemented in IRAF. We test the code using both simulated and real spectra with different levels of resolution and noise and comparing its measurements to the manual ones obtained in the standard way. The results shows a small systematic difference, always below 1.5mÅ. This can be explained by errors in the manual measurements caused by subjective continuum determination. The code works better and faster than others tested before.

description: Από νότια επαρχία της Σερβίας στο παρελθόν το Κόσοβο εμφανίζεται σήμερα ως μια νέα αλβανική κουκίδα στο βαλκανικό χάρτη, ως ένα κράτος που έχει προκύψει από απόσχιση, με δυτικό θεμέλιο νομιμοποίησής του, τη μοναδικότητα της περίπτωσής του. Το Κόσοβο παραμένει μια αμφισβητούμενη περιοχή, κομμένη στα δύο από το 1999: σερβική στο βορρά με τη ρωσική προστασία και αλβανική στην υπόλοιπη επικράτεια χάρη στη δυτική θεσμική και οικονομική ενθάρρυνση. Με συνέργειες των ΗΠΑ και της Ε.Ε. οι πολιτικές ηγεσίες της Σερβίας και του Κοσόβου προχώρησαν τον Απρίλιο του 2013 στη Συμφωνία των Βρυξελλών με σκοπό την ομαλοποίηση των σχέσεων των δύο χωρών και τη μελλοντική ένταξή τους στην Ε.Ε. Η αποτυχία εφαρμογής των συμφωνηθέντων φέρνει στην επιφάνεια παλιές και νέες ιδέες όπως η διχοτόμηση του βορείου Κοσόβου και η απόδοσή του στη Σερβία και η παραχώρηση εκ μέρους της τελευταίας της κοιλάδας του Πρέσεβο στο Κόσοβο. Οι παραπάνω προτάσεις εξετάζονται στο πλαίσιο μιας νομικά δεσμευτικής συμφωνίας προκειμένου να τερματιστεί η σερβοαλβανική διαμάχη και να διασφαλίσουν και οι δύο πλευρές την ευρωπαϊκή τους προοπτική. Η εδαφική διευθέτηση προκρίνεται από τις ΗΠΑ διχάζει ωστόσο την Ε.Ε., κυρίως τη Γερμανία. που εκφράζει φόβους για αποσταθεροποίηση της περιοχής. Η Ρωσία παρακολουθεί εκ του σύνεγγυς την κατάσταση εκφράζοντας τη στήριξή της στις επιλογές της Σερβίας.
description: Belonging to the southern province of Serbia in the past, Kosovo appears today as a new Albanian spot on the Balkan map, a state that has emerged from a secession, with a western foundation of legitimacy, the uniqueness of its case. Kosovo remains a controversial area, cut in two since 1999: Serbian in the north with Russian protection and Albanian in the rest of the territory thanks to western institutional and financial encouragement. Helped by USA and EU, the political leadership of Serbia and Kosovo progressed in April 2013 in the Brussels Agreement, with a view to normalizing the relations of the two countries and their future membership in the EU. Failure to implement the agreements brings to the surface old and new ideas such as the partition of northern Kosovo and its return to Serbia and the granting of its last Presevo Valley to Kosovo. The above proposals are being considered in the context of a legally binding agreement to end the Serbian-Albanian conflict and to secure both sides of their European perspective. The territorial arrangement is preferred by the United States, however dividing the EU, in particular Germany, which fears destabilizing the region. Russia is closely monitoring the situation by expressing its support for Serbia's choices.

description: We investigate the relation between the mass of super-massive black holes (Mbh) in QSOs and the mass of the dark matter halos hosting them (Mdh). We measure the widths of broad emission lines (Mgii lambda 2798, Civ lambda 1549) from QSO composite spectra as a function of redshift. These widths are then used to determine virial black hole mass estimates. We compare our virial black hole mass estimates to dark matter halo masses for QSO hosts derived by Croom et al. (2005) based on measurements of QSO clustering. This enables us to trace the Mbh-Mdh relation over the redshift range z=0.5 to 2.5. We calculate the mean zero-point of the Mbh-Mdh relation to be Mbh=10^(8.4+/-0.2)Msun for an Mdh=10^(12.5)Msun. These data are then compared with several models connecting Mbh and Mdh as well as recent hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy evolution. We note that the flux limited nature of QSO samples can cause a Malmquist-type bias in the measured zero-point of the Mbh-Mdh relation. The magnitude of this bias depends on the scatter in the Mbh-Mdh relation, and we reevaluate the zero-point assuming three published values for this scatter. (abridged)

description: We report the direct imaging discovery of a low-mass companion to the nearby accelerating A star, HIP 109427, with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument coupled with the MKID Exoplanet Camera (MEC) and CHARIS integral field spectrograph. CHARIS data reduced with reference star PSF subtraction yield 1.1-2.4 $μ$m spectra. MEC reveals the companion in $Y$ and $J$ band at a comparable signal-to-noise ratio using stochastic speckle discrimination, with no PSF subtraction techniques. Combined with complementary follow-up $L_{\rm p}$ photometry from Keck/NIRC2, the SCExAO data favors a spectral type, effective temperature, and luminosity of M4-M5.5, 3000-3200 $K$, and $\log_{10}(L/L_{\rm \odot}) = -2.28^{+0.04}_{-0.04}$, respectively. Relative astrometry of HIP 109427 B from SCExAO/CHARIS and Keck/NIRC2, and complementary Gaia-Hipparcos absolute astrometry of the primary favor a semimajor axis of $6.55^{+3.0}_{-0.48}$ au, an eccentricity of $0.54^{+0.28}_{-0.15}$, an inclination of $66.7^{+8.5}_{-14}$ degrees, and a dynamical mass of $0.280^{+0.18}_{-0.059}$ $M_{\odot}$. This work shows the potential for extreme AO systems to utilize speckle statistics in addition to widely-used post-processing methods to directly image faint companions to nearby stars near the telescope diffraction limit.

On complementing end-to-end human behavior predictors with planning

description: High capacity end-to-end approaches for human motion (behavior) prediction have the ability to represent subtle nuances in human behavior, but struggle with robustness to out of distribution inputs and tail events. Planning-based prediction, on the other hand, can reliably output decent-but-not-great predictions: it is much more stable in the face of distribution shift (as we verify in this work), but it has high inductive bias, missing important aspects that drive human decisions, and ignoring cognitive biases that make human behavior suboptimal. In this work, we analyze one family of approaches that strive to get the best of both worlds: use the end-to-end predictor on common cases, but do not rely on it for tail events / out-of-distribution inputs -- switch to the planning-based predictor there. We contribute an analysis of different approaches for detecting when to make this switch, using an autonomous driving domain. We find that promising approaches based on ensembling or generative modeling of the training distribution might not be reliable, but that there very simple methods which can perform surprisingly well -- including training a classifier to pick up on tell-tale issues in predicted trajectories.
Lifshitz transitions and elastic properties of Osmium under pressure

description: Topological changes of the Fermi surface under pressure may cause anomalies in the low-temperature elastic properties. Our density functional calculations for elemental Osmium evidence that this metal undergoes three such Lifshitz transitions in the pressure range between 70 GPa and 130 GPa. The related elastic anomalies are, however, invisibly weak. The critical pressures considerably exceed the values for recently measured and calculated anomalies in the pressure (P) dependence of the hexagonal c/a lattice parameter ratio close to 25 GPa. We demonstrate that the latter anomalies are statistically not significant and that (c/a)(P) can be fitted equally well by a smooth dependence.

description: We quantize the exterior of spherically symmetric vacuum space-times using a midi-superspace reduction within the Ashtekar new variables. Through a partial gauge fixing we eliminate the diffeomorphism constraint and are left with a Hamiltonian constraint that is first class. We complete the quantization in the loop representation. We also use the model to discuss the issues that will arise in more general contexts in the ``uniform discretization'' approach to the dynamics.

Numerical analysis of a new formulation for the Oseen equations in terms of vorticity and Bernoulli pressure

description: A variational formulation is introduced for the Oseen equations written in terms of vor\-ti\-city and Bernoulli pressure. The velocity is fully decoupled using the momentum balance equation, and it is later recovered by a post-process. A finite element method is also proposed, consisting in equal-order Nédélec finite elements and piecewise continuous polynomials for the vorticity and the Bernoulli pressure, respectively. The {\it a priori} error analysis is carried out in the $\mathrm{L}^2$-norm for vorticity, pressure, and velocity; under a smallness assumption either on the convecting velocity, or on the mesh parameter. Furthermore, an {\it a posteriori} error estimator is designed and its robustness and efficiency are studied using weighted norms. Finally, a set of numerical examples in 2D and 3D is given, where the error indicator serves to guide adaptive mesh refinement. These tests illustrate the behaviour of the new formulation in typical flow conditions, and they also confirm the theoretical findings.

Sociophysics: A review of Galam models

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: We review a series of models of sociophysics introduced by Galam and Galam et al in the last 25 years. The models are divided in five different classes, which deal respectively with democratic voting in bottom up hierarchical systems, decision making, fragmentation versus coalitions, terrorism and opinion dynamics. For each class the connexion to the original physical model and technics are outlined underlining both the similarities and the differences. Emphasis is put on the numerous novel and counterintuitive results obtained with respect to the associated social and political framework. Using these models several major real political events were successfully predicted including the victory of the French extreme right party in the 2000 first round of French presidential elections, the voting at fifty - fifty in several democratic countries (Germany, Italy, Mexico), and the victory of the no to the 2005 French referendum on the European constitution. The perspectives and the challenges to make sociophysics a predictive solid field of science are discussed.
