title: Rawlsian secularism: A critique
Creators: name: Youngmevittaya, Wanpat
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis addresses three main questions concerning the relation between state and religion: What is the secular state? Is the secular state coherent? Is the secular state morally desirable? Specifically, this thesis claims that some significant characteristics of the political philosophy of John Rawls could be articulated as a particular version of secularism – Rawlsian secularism. This thesis argues that Rawlsian secularism should be used as the definition of the secular state, and proposes to deal with those three questions by examining Rawlsian secularism. This thesis argues that Rawlsian secularism is incoherent. The premise of Rawlsian secularism is that for the state to be religiously neutral it must be neutral toward all reasonable comprehensive doctrines, religious or not. In other words, it would fail to be religiously neutral if it fails to be neutral toward any comprehensive doctrine even if it does not endorse any particular religion explicitly. This thesis claims that, in constructing his political conception of the person, Rawls cannot avoid some controversial debates about human characteristics. And, in dealing with fundamental political questions, he cannot avoid some metaphysical or comprehensive moral questions, which go beyond the limit of Rawlsian public reason. This thesis also argues that Rawlsian secularism is morally undesirable. Rawls' idea that the state should leave people's actual comprehensive identity and doctrine aside when deciding on a matter of justice is morally undesirable. His idea may be desirable in some cases, but it may be not in some other cases. Rawlsian secularism rules out the possibility for the state to engage in some controversial moral issues in the first place, which is morally undesirable in some cases.

description: The virtual element method (VEM) for dynamic analyses of nonlinear elasto-plastic problems undergoing large deformations is outlined within this work. VEM has been applied to various problems in engineering, considering elasto-plasticity, multiphysics, damage, elastodynamics, contact- and fracture mechanics. This work focuses on the extension of VEM formulations towards dynamic elasto-plastic applications. Hereby low-order ansatz functions are employed in three dimensions with elements having arbitrary convex or concave polygonal shapes. The formulations presented in this study are based on minimization of potential function for both the static as well as the dynamic behavior. Additionally, to overcome the volumetric locking phenomena due to elastic and plastic incompressibility conditions, a mixed formulation based on a Hu-Washizu functional is adopted. For the implicit time integration scheme, Newmark method is used. To show the model performance, various numerical examples in 3D are presented.

Human impacts of climate change and human adaptation

description: Susceptibility of the State of Himachal Pradesh to vagaries of climate change and natural disaster has now been well documented. During the current monsoon season, Kangra District witnessed flash floods after heavy rains on July 11 and 12, 2021. Due to heavy precipitation, the khads originating from the Dhauladhar range flowed with heavy discharge causing enormous damage in the downstream areas of Dharamshala region. The major damage occurred along Manjhi khad, Gaj khad at Shilla, Cheturu and Rajol localities due to toe erosion and channel course change resulting in heavy damage to infrastructure etc. At Boh village of Shahpur Sub Division, a massive landslide occurred due to rock failure leading to temporary blockade along the stream and by the movement of debris flow causing huge devastation in the village wherein 10 people lost their precious lives with 5 injured seriously alongwith loss to the infrastructure etc. The major damage that occurred at Rajol and Chetru was mainly due to change in the river course leading to the damage along the new course and toe erosion. At Bhagsunag, the damage was mainly due to the change in the land use of the stream which after chocking flowed with heavy discharge inflicting colossal damage in the downstream areas of the region.

description: The population size of hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius Linnaeus 1758) in Luangwa valley, Zambia was earlier assessed for the period 1976 -2008 and repeated 2009 -2015 and found to have reached and maintained carrying capacity K of 6000 individuals over a 165 km river stretch. This study covered the period 2009-2015 and used riverbank count method as in previous studies. In 1976, a stretch of 165 km was demarcated for intensive population monitoring using the same survey methods. Results of this monitoring showed that the population recorded high densities of up to 42 hippopotami/km during the period 1976 - 2008. The method involved counting individuals and taking GPS locations of hippopotamus schools. During the period 2009 -2015 the population had maintained irregular cycles oscillating above and below K of 6000 and was still within carrying capacity band of 3000 individuals. The highest population size was 7,862 hippopotami and density of 48/km reached in 2015, and the lowest was 4501 hippopotami and density of 27/km recorded in 1978. Between 1976-2008, and 2009-2015 the population still oscillated between 5000 - 8000 individuals, which is symptomatic of a population that had reached its asymptote. Plot of population size for the period 1976-2015 assumed a population model which was a hybrid between less accurate regulation and stable limit cycle. The slow-down in population growth at K and oscillations were attributed to environmental resistance. More studies are required to identify the impact of climate change on the population size and density fluctuations to determine whether K will rise or drop.

description: Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The early detection of pulmonary nodules in lungs can help reduce the incidence of lung cancer. However, due to the great variance in shape, size, and location of pulmonary nodules, the detection of small nodules in medical images is very challenging. This paper proposes a novel YOLOv5-CASP model, based on YOLOv5s with the following proposed improvements: 1) incorporating improved Convolutional Block Attention Modules (CBAM) to suppress the interference features of the medical images through a channel dimension and spatial dimension, and to improve the detection performance of the model; 2) substituting the Spatial Pyramid Pooling – Fast (SPPF) module of YOLOv5s with an improved Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module as to increase the model’s receptive field for images of different sizes and extract multi-scale contextual information for improving its performance on detecting small lung nodules; and 3) introducing a Contextual Transformer (CoT) module to optimize part of the CSPDarknet53 module of YOLOv5s in order to enhance the characteristics of the model while removing redundant operations extraction capacity. Experimental results conducted on two public datasets confirm that the proposed YOLOv5-CASP model outperforms the original YOLOv5s model and other five state-of-the-art models (Faster R-CNN, SSD, YOLOv4-Tiny, DETR-R50, Deformable DETR-R50), in terms of the mean average precision (mAP) and F1 score, by achieving corresponding values of 0.720 and 0.740 on the LUNA16 dataset, and 0.794 and 0.766 on the X-Nodule dataset.

description: This study examined factors influencing income generated by 100 informal fresh produce traders in Polokwane Local Municipality during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. An Ordered Probit Model was used to examine the extent to which several factors had affected traders’ income, measured on a 5-Point Likert Scale ranging from “very low income” to “very high income”. The descriptive results showed that none of the traders had generated “very high income”, which is attributable to COVID-19 regulations and restrictions. The empirical results showed that age, education levels, other sources of income, government support, social relief grant, trading license, trading status, time period of contract, and trading stall, increased the probability of generating higher income. These results serve to inform policymakers on the policy strategies to pursue in order to improve the income generated by the informal fresh produce traders

description: Pregnancy complicated by obesity is associated with adverse triggered gestational and neonatal outcomes, with reductions in the subtypes of CD4+ T-lymphocytes representing the modulators of inflammation. It needs to be better established how maternal nutritional statuses impact the neuroendocrine–immune system’s action and affect the immunological mechanisms of the maternal–infant relationship via breastfeeding. This study examined the effects of maternal obesity on human colostrum lymphocytes and the intracellular mechanisms of lymphocyte modulation in the presence of leptin, adiponectin, and melatonin via cell proliferation; the release of intracellular calcium; and apoptosis induction. This cross-sectional study analyzed colostrum samples from 52 puerperal splits and divided them into overweight and eutrophic groups. Colostrum lymphocytes underwent immunophenotyping and cell proliferation by flow cytometry and intracellular calcium release and apoptosis assays by immunofluorescence in the presence or absence of hormones. Significant differences were considered when p < 0.05 by the chi-square or t-test. Maternal obesity reduced the population of T-lymphocytes and TCD4+ in human colostrum and proliferative activities (p < 0.05). These hormones restore lymphocyte proliferation to a level similar to the eutrophic group (p < 0.05). Leptin, adiponectin, melatonin hormones, and biological actions consolidated in the scientific literature also represent maternal and infant protection mechanisms via colostrum and the modulation of human colostrum lymphocytes

How Small Cities Attract and Retain Skilled People: Development of a Mode

Economic theory not elsewhere classified

description: Skilled people are generally accepted as a vital force in economic development. The executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, has stated that skilled people will become increasingly more important than capital (Elliot, 2017). The UK is vulnerable to changes in the macro-environment because the economy is so over reliant on London which has a disproportionate level of skilled people, wealth and opportunities compared to the other cities in the UK. This imbalance is of importance particularly with the uncertainties and inevitable changes caused by BREXIT and the Covid19 pandemic. This thesis aims to develop a transferable policy model for attracting and retaining skilled people to small cities, to promote economic development and contribute to addressing the imbalance between London and the other cities in the UK. Based on adapted grounded research in case study cities Manchester, Cardiff, Newport and Bristol, the key factors that motivate skilled people to locate and remain in small cities have been identified as employment, social life, infrastructure, culture and the family. These factors have been labelled as Attraction Motivators based on an adaptation of Herzberg’s two-factor theory. Other factors, such as diversity, safety, inclusivity, accommodation, education, physical factors and shopping, are not motivators to attract and retain skilled people but need to be maintained and managed effectively to maximise economic development and not deter skilled people. The Attraction Motivation Model was developed through combining the findings from adapted grounded research to identify the Attraction Motivators with the city branding literature and the findings from interviews with key stakeholders. The Model will assist small cities to attract and retain skilled people using finite resources. There were some differences in the Attraction Motivators for skilled people with different characteristics of gender, life-stage and location, supporting theory that skilled people cannot be treated as a homogeneous group although they do have commonalities. Considerable communalities were found between skilled and unskilled people which is an area for further research to ensure improved inclusivity in policy making. The transferable Attraction Motivator Model assists policy makers to attract and retain skilled people contributing to small cities achieving increased economic and social development, leading to greater prosperity and certainty for its citizens and improving economic balance between the regions of the UK.

description: The public health problems in Benin come from various angles. Domestic water has a fundamental role in households, but these sources are exposed to contamination by biological and physico-chemical pollutants. As a solution, household water purification devices such as ceramic filters can be used. “Filtre Songhaï” is a ceramic filter, simple and easy to use, marketed in Benin. This study’s object is to analyze the use of the “Filtre Songhaï” in the treatment of water for domestic use in a peri-urban area in Porto-Novo (Benin). Collective well and a pond from in the 5th district of Porto-Novo served as a source of sample collection. The physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters were measured before and after filtration. The results showed that the use of filters has allowed for a reduction of 97.5% for total coliform in the well water and 99.05% for water from the lagoon. The reduction is 100% for Escherichia coli and fecal streptococci in both cases. Considering the reliability and accessibility due to the lifetime use of “filtre Songhai”, this device can be proposed to households for drinking water, particularly for children below five years old the most vulnerable to water-borne diseases. At the end of this study, it arises that the use of the “Filtre Songhaï” allows a significant improvement of the mi-crobiological properties of water. Later research is needed to improve the speed of filtration of the “Filtre Song-haï”. Research is still necessary to refine the filtration time of this device.

description: This study examined credit constraints in farm households in Southwest Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was employed for the study. Direct elicitation approach and multinomial logit model was applied on the primary data collected in the study area. The results showed that 30.94% of the households were credit unconstrained while the remaining 69.06% were credit constrained with Quantity, Risk and Transaction cost constraints accounting for 17.81%, 21.25% and 30% respectively. The multinomial logit result showed that repayment capacity, repayment history (payment of last loan back), land ownership reduces the probability of the household to be risk constrained while access to extension service increases it. The sex of the household head, off farm income, repayment history will reduce the chance of the household being transaction cost constrained while access to extension service, dependency ratio, will increase the likelihood of the household to be transaction cost constrained. In addition, the coefficients of off farm income, repayment history (payment of last loan back), and land ownership were negative and statistically significant in determining the chance of the household being quantity constrained and a unit increase in them will reduce the likelihood of household being quantity constrained. While access to extension service and repayment capacity, is positive and statistically significant and therefore, an increase in them will increase the chance of the household to be quantity constrained.

description: Subzero startup constitutes a lingering obstacle impeding the diffusion of battery and fuel cell electric vehicles in cold regions. Both being electrochemical energy devices, lithium-ion battery (LIB) and polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) share many commonalities in their cold startup problems, tasks and principle behind startup techniques. Subzero startup of LIB and PEFC using alternating current (AC) is receiving increasing attention for its high efficiency, low degradation and superb reliability. To catch the wider attention in the research community and promote the development of this technique, we herein address the AC startup of LIB and PEFC in a single review and in a same framework. After a brief introduction to low temperature performance problem, subzero startup techniques for LIB and PEFC are classified based on a new criterion, i.e. the nature of the heat generation, instead of the location of heat generation. Then, the principle, development and implementation of AC startup are outlined.

description: The formation of galaxy clusters is not a unique process. Due to the assembling by mergers and accretions, together with a continuous quest to reach dynamical equilibrium by virialization, it is more a sequence of unrelaxed/relaxed states. Measuring the current dynamical status of a specific cluster (or future cluster) is, thus, a hard job, and although there are many ways to treat the problem, a physically motivated method that is simple on its conception and robust on its results is still lacking. Our proposal is to quantify the degree of evolution of galaxy systems, from their observed global properties, by means of the evolution of their entropy. It is expected that the evolution towards relaxation corresponds to an increase in entropy. In the case of isolated systems, the virialization is a state of maximum entropy. When the system is not isolated, the sequence of mergers and accretions generate new entropy maxima. Since the thermodynamical behavior of self-gravitating systems is much peculiar, conventional thermodynamical expressions do not work entirely. In this work, we present a formalism that modifies some of such expressions to include gravitational systems. Specifically, entropy is first calculated as a function of the virial mass, velocity dispersion and volume. In a validation process we also use entropy measurements based on the information theory, considering the radial, azimuthal and line-of-sight distribution of galaxies in the cluster. This method was applied to a sample of 70 galaxy clusters in the Local Universe, well sampled and studied, and the results correlate very well with different previous estimations of dynamical status for these systems.
title: Ageing and the aged: the social and physical implications of senescence AD 900 – 1550

description: Medieval documents confirm the existence of longevity and senescence in society, however osteological studies have struggled to identify the oldest individuals in the archaeological record, using ‘46+ years’ to encompass all older people. Longevity was explored through application of five traditional and six recently developed ageing methods, providing upper age estimations beyond this artificial cut-off point. The experience of senescence was investigated through palaeopathological analysis, including age-related disease and indicators of care provision, or the presence of physical abuse. Contemporaneous views regarding ageing and old age were explored through surviving literature, and varied according to an individual’s health, and their ability to contribute to society. The study sample comprised 700 adult males and females aged 35+ years at death, from four sites in the north-east of England, incorporating a cross-section of medieval society; Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire (n=309), Fishergate House, York (n=70), St. Helen-on-the-Walls, York (n=130) and Wharram Percy, Yorkshire (n=191). Re-ageing resulted in 108 (15.4%) individuals being between 60 and 69 years, and 40 (5.7%) being 70+ years. Using multiple ageing techniques enabled a review of the methods themselves; and with palaeopathological analysis, exploration into the potential of assessing individuals for frailty and ability, informing on their lived experience. Frailty scores increased from 1.85/individual to 3.13/individual from 35-45 to 70+ years. Conclusions suggest chronological age was not linked to decline of worth, unless also associated with loss of ability, through increasing morbidity. This was not limited to the very old, any individual exhibiting high frailty, meaning low ability, was significantly more likely to suffer abuse. The findings of this thesis challenge accepted notions of early mortality in archaeological populations and provide a significant contribution to the further understanding of the life course in the past, at a time when the world is facing an old-age crisis.

description: Καθώς ο αριθμός των εφαρμογών που χρησιμοποιούν τεχνικές όρασης υπολογιστών έχει αυξηθεί πάρα πολύ, η ανίχνευση και ο εντοπισμός κινούμενων οχημάτων παραμένει μια πολύ δύσκολη και κρίσιμη διαδικασία στον τομέα της επιτήρησης της κυκλοφορίας. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζεται ένα ολοκληρωμένο σύστημα επιτήρησης σε κυκλοφοριακά βίντεο για τον υπολογισμό της ταχύτητας των κινούμενων οχημάτων στο μετασχηματισμένο χώρο. Το σύστημά μας επεξεργάζεται βίντεο τα οποία έχουν ληφθεί από μια στατική κάμερα και έχει τη δυνατότητα να ανιχνεύει, να εντοπίζει και να ταξινομεί οχήματα. Αρχικά τα frames του κάθε βίντεο υποβάλλονται σε έναν μετασχηματισμό προοπτικής και στη συνέχεια ακολουθούν, στο μετασχηματισμένο πλέον χώρο, κατά σειρά τα στάδια: της ανίχνευσης οχήματος από τρεις διαφορετικές τεχνικές οι οποίες συγκρίνονται, του εντοπισμού οχήματος από τον αλγόριθμο Κalman Filter, του υπολογισμού της ταχύτητας οχήματος βάση της μετακίνησης του κέντρου βάρους και τέλος της ταξινόμησης οχήματος βάση κάποιων χαρακτηριστικών του. Το σύστημα επιστρέφει αρκετά καλά αποτελέσματα για όλα τα στάδια της επεξεργασίας και σε μεθόδους όπως ο εντοπισμός και η ταξινόμηση οχήματος παρατίθεται αναλυτικά η ακρίβειά τους σε σχέση με τα πραγματικά δεδομένα. Τέλος ο αλγόριθμος εντοπισμού οχήματος, που είναι το πιο βασικό και κρίσιμο στάδιο της επεξεργασίας, είναι δυνατό να βελτιωθεί ακόμα περισσότερο και προς αυτήν την κατεύθυνση μια μελλοντική εργασία θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει σε ένα πιο πλήρες σύστημα παρακολούθησης της κυκλοφορίας ακόμα και σε πραγματικό χρόνο.

description: AbstractHow long does a quantum particle take to traverse a classically forbidden energy barrier? In other words, what is the correct expression for quantum tunnelling time? This seemingly simple question has inspired widespread debate in the physics literature. I argue that we should not expect the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics to provide a unique correct expression for quantum tunnelling time, because to do so it would have to provide a unique correct answer to a question whose assumptions are in tension with its core interpretational commitments. I explain how this conclusion connects to time’s special status in quantum mechanics, the meaningfulness of classically inspired concepts in different interpretations of quantum mechanics, the prospect of constructing experimental tests to distinguish between different interpretations, and the status of weak measurement in resolving questions about the histories of subensembles.

description: Power-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs) suffer from network partitioning problems. In many cases, each node among a network subset, cannot reliably communicate with a distant receiver even when transmitting at maximum power. Thus, a collaborative beamforming scheme among the distributed adjacent terminals is needed in terms of power addition. Prior art on distributed beamforming has mainly focused on feedback messages for channel estimation (CSI) or physical layer carrier phase adjustments. In sharp constrast, this thesis assumes commodity radios and studies the low signal to-noise-ratio (SNR) regime, where accurate channel estimation is not feasible and no reliable feedback exists. The main idea is to exploit recently proposed zero-feedback distributed beamforming and design specific non-coherent receivers. Towards that goal, three concrete non-coherent receivers are presented for zero-feedback distributed beamforming (ZF-DBF); one based on energy detection, one based on maximum-likelihood for a specific condition (i.e., full correlation among the received samples), and finally, one non-coherent receiver for all other cases. A non-coherent receiver for energy harvesting through time division multiple access (TDMA) is also provided for comparison purposes. Analytical and numerical bit-error-rate results are presented. It is shown that the ZF-DBF receiver outperforms the energy harvesting one at the low-SNR regime and overcomes connectivity adversities by exploiting signal alignment from the distributed terminals, at the expense of total (network) power transmission.

description: Στην σύγχρονη εποχή η ψηφιακή εικόνα παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην μετάδοση και αποθήκευση της πληροφορίας. Λόγω όμως του μεγάλου μεγέθους της εικόνας κρίνεται απαραίτητο, τόσο για την αποθήκευσή της όσο και για την γρηγορότερη μετάδοσή της η εφαρμογή μεθόδων οποίες θα μειώσουν το μέγεθός της. Οι μέθοδοι αυτοί ονομάζονται μέθοδοι συμπίεσης και εφαρμόζονται σχεδόν σε κάθε ψηφιακή εικόνα. Οι υπάρχοντες μέθοδοι συμπίεσης κρίνονται επαρκείς αλλά πάντα η τεχνολογία προσπαθεί για το καλύτερο. Μια τέτοια προσπάθεια είναι ο αλγόριθμος συμπίεσης εικόνας WebP, ο οποίος αναπτύσσεται με σκοπό την αντικατάσταση όλων των υπαρχόντων μεθόδων συμπίεσης εικόνας, τόσο στατικής όσο και κινούμενης. Η διπλωματική αυτή εργασία προσπάθησε την ανάπτυξη σε αναδιατασσόμενη λογική αυτού του αλγορίθμου για την γρηγορότερη και αποτελεσματικότερη εφαρμογή του. Κυρίως αναπτύχθηκαν οι μέθοδοι πρόβλεψης που χρησιμοποιεί για την μείωση της συσχέτισης μεταξύ των γειτονικών εικονοστοιχείων.
description: In modern times digital images have a big role in the storage and transmission of information. However due to the large size of a digital image , the application of methods to reduce the size  is necessary for the storage and the faster transmission. These methods are called compression methods and are applied to almost every picture. There are adequate and efficient compression methods but technology advances and new methods are invented. One such compression method is the WebP compression algorithm which is developed in order to replace all current compression methods for still and animated images. This thesis tried the development of the WebP compression algorithm in a hardware system for the wuicker and more efficient application. The main methods developed include the prediction methods for the compression of the image in order to reduce correlation between neighboring pixels.
