title: The Law of Marriage in Nyasaland.
Creators: name: Ibik, Jacob Ogbonnaya
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: The laws regulating marriages in Malawi consist mainly of ordinances, non-christian Asiatic religious laws, and the African customary laws. The diversenature of these laws explains the coexistence of multifarious marriages with differing and sometimes conflicting rights and obligations within the legal system of that country. The main theme of this thesis is to examine the formation and incidents of marriages in Malawi (formerly Nyasaland Protectorate). The laws governing the dissolution of, and the other matrimonial reliefs pertaining to those marriages are, for completeness, also discussed. The work is divided into three parts. Part I reviews the legal system within which the marriage laws operate. In dealing with the history and hierarchy of the courts administering these laws, especial reference is made to the customary arbitral tribunals. Chapter 2 concludes this part with a critical examination of the rules for the choice of laws in internal conflicts situations. Part II examines the contracting, consequences and termination of "statutory marriages", defined so as to include polygynous Asiatics marriages regulated by a certain ordinance. Among the highlights in this part of the thesis is the speculation in chapter 5 as to the possible incidents of certain Christian African marriages which are supposed to be without "any legal consequences whatever". Chapter 6 examines the penal provisions of the existing laws relating to irregularities in certain marriage laws. Part III is devoted to customary marriages. A description of the various types of customary marriages, their formation and registration in chapter 9, is followed by a critical examination of their "essentials" in chapter 10. Chapter 11 deals with the consequences of those marriages, whereas chapter 12 concludes this part with a review of the possible ways for terminating customary marriages.

title: The Prophet Harris and His Work in Ivory Coast and Western Ghana.
Creators: name: Haliburton, Gordan MacKay
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: This thesis consists of an introduction and seven chapters. In the introduction, the underlying assumption of the thesis is established; prophetic movements commonly rise out of a "colonial situation," since it is in such a situation that traditional religious beliefs, especially those concerned with sorcery and witchcraft, help to destroy the stability of a society already under attack. When a certain stage of social deterioration is reached, new religious institutions must come into existence, if the deterioration is to be halted. This response does not necessarily consist of a prophetic movement, but in the Ivory Coast in 1914 it did. The body of the thesis traces the career of the Prophet Harris who emerged from the tensions and wars which existed between his people, the Grebos, and their rulers, the Americo-Liberians. Having undergone a spiritual experience which changed him from a political rebel to a "prophet," Harris wandered into the French colony of the Ivory Coast. Here the population was undergoing a swift training in the role expected of them as a colonized people, and the tensions thus engendered were finding vent in fearful religious practices, witch-hunts, poisoning, and sorcery. Harris condemned the fetishes, purified the sorcerers and witches, and inspired a new religious practice shorn of anti-social fears. In the Gold Coast Harris became famous and, perhaps, more confident. He was welcomed back in the Ivory Coast by the Government in August-September 1914, but was expelled at the end of the year when the movement he created had grown to alarming proportions. His outlawed movement survived in varied forms; in some groups it encouraged constructive co-operation with the regime, in others, it helped solidify resistance. The Administration, afraid of the political consequences of the unsupervised religion, began in 1921 to support the Catholic Mission. However, the unexpected intervention of Wesleyan Methodist missionaries in 1923 led to the larger number of Harris converts becoming Methodists.

title: The Origins and Development of the Foreign Policy of Menelik II, 1865-1896.
Creators: name: Caulk, Richard Alan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: Menelik's diplomacy has in general - and especially by Italian historians - been dismissed as passive, yet full-blown opportunism. His diplomacy, however, appears as neither passive nor static in the light of English and French sources and of a re-examination of the Italian sources. On the contrary, it was adapted to changing circumstances to create more favourable ones. By dint of active response to exterior forces and of initiative, Menelik contributed decisively to the conditions which enabled Ethiopia to survive and to profit by the partition. A serious obstacle to understanding Menelik and his foreign policy has been the tendency to regard him only as the victor of Adua masterfully balancing and using foreign interests to his advantage. The long progression leading to this virtuosity in political diplomacy gives another and an important dimension. Early failures through little and too late action were overcome, but only under the impulse of exterior events did Menelik develop the political diplomacy which culminated in the restoration of peace with Italy in October 1896. For most of the years of his reign as the King of Shoa (1865 - 89) Menelik pursued a diplomacy of commerce in order to secure the arms trade and which showed a disregard even for the political consequences of his foreign policy. Once convinced of the overriding need for a defensive political diplomacy in I89O, he drew on earlier experience. The Battle of Adua, in fact, marked a new departure. His accomplishment is partly obscured by the fortuitous circumstances which favoured him and by his own ambiguity. It is still difficult to make him stand out from an uncertainty about his real intentions which he seems purposely to have cultivated. But the restrictive context which he was forced to overcome begins to be apparent. If the details await the writing of an internal history, the existence of strong opposition to close relations with Europe, even for the sake of more powerful arms, is clear. It is also clear that in dealing with increasingly complex external relations, Menelik developed a pattern of diplomacy which became more subtle in its judgement of the different external foes of the Empire while rising above the narrow horizon of traditional Amhara society that bound most of his contemporaries including the Emperor John IV. A discriminating web of relations with the various European Powers was the highly original and apparently personal achievement of Menelik.
Enhancing HIV Prevention and Care in Connecticut through a Tailored HIV Status Neutral Care Approach
Creators: name: Lufulwabo, Aime
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

This presentation explores the Status-Neutral Care (SNC) model's implementation in Connecticut, with a focus on its impact on marginalized populations, particularly transgender Black women disproportionately affected by HIV. Utilizing a comprehensive approach that includes literature review, grant proposal analysis, and informational interviews with New York City-based organizations, the presentation highlights key findings and lessons learned.

The SNC model has shown promise in enhancing access to HIV services and reducing stigma; however, challenges remain in achieving cultural competency and inclusivity. The presentation underscores the need for standardized evaluation metrics and offers recommendations for improving SNC implementation, including enhanced training, community engagement, and policy advocacy. The insights provided aim to guide future efforts in advancing health equity and meeting the CDC’s goal of reducing new HIV infections by 90% by 2030.

title: The Constitutional History of Malaya With Special Reference to the Malay States of Perak, Selangor, Negri and Pahang 1874-1914.
Creators: name: Burns, P. L.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: British Residents were appointed to the tin-producing States of Perak, Selangor and Sungai Ujong during 1874-5 and later to Negri Sembilan and Pahang. Although they were only sent to preserve order and give advice the Residents soon found it necessary to take charge of the affairs of these States. In most of the mining districts Malay authority had ceased to exist while British officers found Malay political institutions unsuited to implementing their advice. The indigenous political system was preserved, however, largely to ligitimize Resident rule and to a lesser extent to enable the British officers to govern the less productive districts. The indigenous institutions were subordinate to new ones which were centralised and bureacratic and organised to facilitate capitalist enterprise. The so-called federation of the four states in 1895 was designed to encourage even greater economic development. The prosperity which Federation helped to foster only intensified the centralisation of authority in the office of the chief executive authority - the Resident-General - and his federal officers. But this development provoked a reaction among the rulers and Resident who resented their loss of power and the intrusion of federal officers in State matters. It also resulted in excluding the High Commissioner, as the Governor was known after 1896, from any but nominal control over the administration of the Federated Malay States. Sir John Anderson's efforts after 1904 to effectively establish his authority in the Federation produced some important constitutional changes but made no appreciable effect on the actual rowers of the Resident-General, or his successor, the Chief Secretary to Government.

description: The 2022 oil and gas crisis resulted in record fossil-fuel profits globally that rehabilitated the oil and gas industry, obstruct the energy transition and contributed to inflation. We analyse the size and the distribution of financial beneficiaries of these unprecedented profits across countries and across wealth groups within the United States, using company income statements and comprehensive ownership data, to construct a global network of shareholdings with 397,619 nodes. We estimate that globally, net income in publicly listed oil and gas companies reached US$916 billion in 2022. The United States was the biggest beneficiary receiving US$301 billion in fossil fuel profits both from domestic extraction and through global shareholding, more than U.S. investments of US$267 billion in the low carbon economy that year. Analyzing the U.S. distribution including privately held US companies, 51% of profits went to the wealthiest 1%, predominantly through direct shareholdings and private company ownership. In contrast the bottom 50% only received 1%. The incremental fossil-fuel profits in 2022 over those in 2021 were enough to increase the disposable income of the wealthiest Americans several percent and compensate a substantial part of their purchasing power loss from inflation that year, thereby exacerbating inflation inequality. Record fossil-fuel profits also reinforce existing racial and ethnic inequalities and inequalities between groups with different educational attainments. Our results also show that only a small share of overall profits benefits institutions that serve the wider public such as pension funds. We discuss how windfall profits taxes could be used to both lower inequality and accelerate the energy transition as increasing geopolitical tensions and climate impacts portend continued volatility in oil and gas markets.
title: Land Law and Policy in Zambia.
Creators: name: Mvunga, Mphanza Patrick
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1978

description: This thesis discusses the evolution of the land tenure system of Zambia over the years 1924 to 1975. This is done by tracing the development of government land policies from the establishment of the Colonial Office rule (superseding the British South Africa Company administration). The presence of Europeans in a country predominantly inhabited by Africans required a land tenure system that could accommodate the interests of both races. The British South Africa Company which retained some land and extensive mineral rights continued to constitute an important economic group. Thus the Company became also interested in moulding a land tenure system compatible with economic expansion. The Imperial Government, on the other hand, exercised the right of control over all categories of interests in land. On the Territory's attainment of Independence in 1964 these factors influencing policy developments in the land laws faded away. The Imperial Government and the Company disappeared and the remaining European settlers lost the power base. African interests now became pre-eminent. However, the Government of the Republic now controls the use of land. The thesis is arranged in five parts. Part I is introductory and consists of Chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 1 discusses inter alia the origins of title to land. Chapter 2 explores the nature of indigenous title to land. Chapters 3-5 in Part II trace developments during the colonial period: 1924 to 1964. Chapter 6 reviews the post independence era: 1964-1975. Chapter 7 in Part III appraises the vacuum created in the law applicable to dealings in land after Independence. Part IV consisting of Chapters 8 and 9 evaluates Government control in land use and the facilities available in assuring a landholder's rights. Part V concludes with chapter 10 suggesting the need for overall land reforms. Research undertaken includes both oral and documentary sources.
title: British Policy Towards the Indian States, 1905-1939.
Creators: name: Ashton, Stephen Richard
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1977

description: Prior to 1947 approximately one-third of the Indian sub-continent was broken up into 635 Indian States which were ruled by princes of varying rank. In the process of consolidating their empire in India the British had, during the first half of the nineteenth century, deprived the princes of the power to conduct external relations with each other or with foreign powers. Internally the princes were theoretically independent but their sovereignty in this respect was in practice restricted by the paramountcy of the Imperial power. Many of the princes resented the manner in which the British used this paramountcy to justify intervening in their domestic affairs. During the nineteenth century the British had maintained the princes basically as an administrative convenience and as a source of revenue. By the opening of the twentieth century, however, the British had come to regard the princes as potential political allies against the growth of nationalism in India. In order that the princes would willingly serve as allies the British adopted a policy of non-interference in their domestic affairs. In practice such intervention was reduced to an absolute minimum and would only be contemplated in cases of gross misgovernment. This thesis is concerned with how well the princes performed as Imperial allies. Two major themes are investigated. First, the position of the princes within an All-India constitutional framework. Here the scheme for an All-India Federation is examined in relation to its origins and ultimate demise in 1939 (Chapters 4, 5 and 6). The second theme concerns the policy of non-interference. While it operated, administrative standards in the states deteriorated rapidly. By the late 1930's many of them had become obvious targets for nationalist attack. The British belatedly realised that the non-interference policy had failed to make worth-while allies of the princes. On the contrary, they had become a serious liability because of it. In vain the British attempted to reverse the trends of the previous thirty years but their efforts were interrupted by the second world war and could not be resumed once it was over (Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 6).

description: As a typical quantum many body problem, we consider the time evolution of density matrix elements in the Bose-Hubbard model. For an arbitrary initial state, these quantities can be obtained from an SDE or stochastic differential equation system. To this SDE system, a Girsanov transformation can be applied. This has the effect that all the information from the initial state moves into the drift part, into the mean field part, of the transformed system. In the large N limit with g=UN fixed, the diffusive part of the transformed system vanishes and as a result, the exact quantum dynamics is given by an ODE system which turns out to be the time dependent discrete Gross Pitaevskii equation. For the two site Bose-Hubbard model, the GP equation reduces to the mathematical pendulum and the particle imbalance is equal to the velocity of that pendulum which is either oscillatory or it can have rollovers which then corresponds to the self trapping or insulating phase. As a by-product, we also find an equivalence of the mathematical pendulum with a quartic double well potential. Collapse and revivals are a more subtle phenomenom, in order to see these the diffusive part of the SDE system or quantum corrections have to be taken into account. This can be done with an approximation and collapse and revivals can be reproduced, numerically and also through an analytic calculation. Since expectation values of Fresnel or Wiener diffusion processes, we write the density matrix elements exactly in this way, can be obtained from parabolic second order PDEs, we also obtain various exact PDE representations. The paper has been written with the goal to come up with an efficient calculation scheme for quantum many body systems and as such the formalism is generic and applies to arbitrary dimension, arbitrary hopping matrices and, with suitable adjustments, to fermionic models.

title: The Life and Writings of Sir John William Kaye (1814-1876).
Creators: name: Singh, Nihar Nandan Prasad
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1977

description: This study of the life and writings of Sir John William Kaye (1814-1876) has two main purposes. The first is to examine his writings with a view to showing the ideas by which he was moved. The second is to explore the underlying historical perspective and to assess the importance of his contributions. Moreover, in so doing, an attempt has been made to look at the contemporary and later reception of his works as well as at his technique. Kaye had a long and productive career as a writer which centred around his lifelong interest in Indian affairs. He also served as an officer in the Company's army, worked as a journalist in India, and finally occupied a senior position in the East-India House and In the India Office. He formed strong views on Indian policy, and these may be traced in his various writings. He began his writing career as a novelist. One area m the field of Indian history that was of particular interest to him was contemporary developments: he believed that the study of current events could be useful m providing guidelines for future British policy. Another area in which Kaye made important contributions was Anglo-Indian biography. Although he was one among a number of Anglo-Indian writers whose major assumptions were political, his achievement. In both these areas, was more significant, suggesting greater skill In historical analysis and In the use of original sources. Thus, he left behind him a number of books which are still widely used. Much of the material for this study is derived from Kaye's own published works. Including his periodical contributions. Use has also been made of his confidential Letter Book and of relevant private papers.
title: The Christian Conscience and Industrial Welfare in China, 1920-1941.
Creators: name: Porter, Robin Scarland
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1977

description: The birth of modern industry [in China] introduced a new factor into urban life in the form of the emergent industrial working population, whose conditions of life and labour equalled in squalor anything known during the worst phases of the industrial revolution in the West. A dawning awareness of the need to meet this new problem if Christianity were to have any profound influence on China, coupled with anxiety over the threat posed to the social equilibrium by strikes and other industrial disorders, moved certain Christian agencies in the early 'twenties to take a more active interest in the plight of urban workers. The Christian organisations principally responsible for industrial welfare work in China in the nineteen-twenties and 'thirties were the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, and the National Christian Council of China, representing the various Protestant Churches. The work in this sphere of each of these agencies is dealt with in turn, though there are many points at which it overlapped. The activity of Christian reformers drew the attention of the International Labour Office to China, prompting the organisation to send its first mission there in 1924. The history of the ILO's subsequent involvement with China, and in particular of its branch office established there in 1930, forms the subject of another chapter. As a result of persistent lobbying by the YWCA, the Shanghai Municipal Council was in 1932 persuaded to create an 'Industrial Section' to oversee industrial conditions in factories of the International Settlement. The achievement of this Section, which was led by a former YWCA official, is also reviewed. Perhaps the best-known episode in the history of industrial welfare efforts in China before 1949 was the attempt to restrict the use of child labour in the factories of the International Settlement in the mid-'twenties, in which many individuals and groups collaborated. This episode is re-examined here as a case study, with the benefit of a record of the original testimony before the Child Labour Commission, for it will be suggested that the obstacles in the way of the success of any gradual reform in China are most clearly brought to light in this case. In the final chapters this theme is pursued further, as the overall Christian industrial welfare effort is evaluated and the contradictions within it are explored.

title: Mughal Jades and Crystals Based on a Catalogue Raisonne of the Collections in the National Museums of London.
Creators: name: Mirza, Arif Husain
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1961

description: This thesis aims at providing a catalogue and description of the extensive Collections of Mughal jades and crystals in the National Museums of London. Although these Collections are comparatively rich, yet very little attention has been paid to the problems involved in the working of both Jade and rock-crystal in India, and little has been published on this subject. An attempt, therefore, has been made to trace the beginnings and development of these arts. The thesis is divided into two parts, the first consisting of six chapters and the second of a Catalogue of a very wide representative sample of jade and rock-crystal. The first chapter deals with the superstitious beliefs concerning jade, its chemical composition and the occurrence of the mineral in China, Eastern Turkistan and Burma. An effort has been made to establish that China had once its own jade deposits which became exhausted because of heavy demands made upon them. In the second chapter the Chinese working of jade is described in some detail, followed by an analysis of the technique of jade working. The Indian working of jade as observed by European writers and as inferred by study of the Collections, has also, been dealt with. In the third chapter the constitutents of rock-crystal and its material evidence in various Indian archaeological sites is assembled and a survey of Buddhist reliquaries is made. The fourth chapter deals with the methods of manufacturing hard stone beads and the advanced techniques employed in making reliquaries. In the fifth chapter the history of the diamond and the use of the diamond point and dust has been traced. The early Indian evidence is found to be indefinite. In the final chapter a tentative dating of the Mughal jade and rock-crystal objects has been attempted and an effort has been made to establish that not only rock-crystal but also jade was worked by local Indian craftsmen.
A bi-variant algebraic cobordism via correspondences

description: A bi-variant theory $\mathbb B(X,Y)$ defined for a pair $(X,Y)$ is a theory satisfying properties similar to those of Fulton--MacPherson's bivariant theory $\mathbb B(X \xrightarrow f Y)$ defined for a morphism $f:X \to Y$. In this paper, using correspondences we construct a bi-variant algebraic cobordism $Ω^{*,\sharp}(X, Y)$ such that $Ω^{*,\sharp}(X, pt)$ is isomorphic to Lee--Pandharipande's algebraic cobordism of vector bundles $Ω_{-*,\sharp}(X)$. In particular, $Ω^{*}(X, pt)=Ω^{*, 0}(X, pt)$ is isomorphic to Levine--Morel's algebraic cobordism $Ω_{-*}(X)$. Namely, $Ω^{*,\sharp}(X, Y)$ is \emph{a bi-variant vesion} of Lee--Pandharipande's algebraic cobordism of bundles $Ω_{*,\sharp}(X)$.

title: Brunei Darussalam 1944-1962: Constitutional and Political Development in a Malay-Muslim Sultanate.
Creators: name: Damit, Awang Mohamad Yusop
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1995

description: This is a study of constitutional and political development in Brunei Darussalam between 1944 and 1962. Responding to new forces unleashed by World War II, British planners in the Colonial Office embarked on a policy of promoting political progress in Brunei Darussalam with the aim of eventually introducing self-government, with the widest possible participation of the people of all communities. The thesis traces the origins of the Colonial Office's plan to introduce constitutional government in Brunei Darussalam, examines the evolution of the plan taking particular account of the obstructive intrusion of certain post-war developments which inevitably delayed the fruition of a full political advancement; and analyses the interaction between the local ruling elite, the British Colonial administration, and the Partai Rakyat Brunei (People's Party of Brunei). In the event the Brunei Darussalam Constitution, promulgated on 29 September 1959, failed to give full satisfaction to a large section of the people, causing in the end a rebellion which broke out on 8 December 1962. It also analyses the British plan to bring Brunei Darussalam in closer association with its neighbours in a loose federation. When this plan failed, the British put pressure on Brunei Darussalam to enter the Malaysia Federation, which inevitably gave impetus to the rebellion. In the end, Brunei Darussalam not only did not join the Malaysia Federation, it also chose not to adopt a democratic form of government. Instead, when it resumed its full independence on 1 January 1984, Brunei chose to be governed by a Sultan under the concept of Malay Islamic Monarchy.
title: An Electromyographical Study of the Labial Muscles in Speech, With Special Reference to the Vowels of Thai.
Creators: name: Pasuknirant, Anchalee
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: The study was based on electromyographic investigation techniques. Surface bipolar paint-on electrode type was employed. Data analysis was manually manipulated. The muscles undergoing investigation were those of the lip muscles: orbicularis oris inferioris, depressor labii inferioris and mentalis. Muscular activation of each muscle was studied in terms of two dimensions: time dimension and intensity dimension. Time dimension (in msec.) was divided into two categories: time-onset and time-duration. Intensity was studied by comparing temporal difference of averaged integrated curves of vowel production of the same muscle. Muscular activation of the three muscles was also studied from the point of view of time-coordination; that is to say the sequence of activation of the muscles in the production of a specific vowel over a period of time. The results of the investigation are discussed in terms of the roles of the three muscles in the articulatory aspects of the vowels. Also discussions in relation to traditional views of the universality of the syllable structure CV, the treatment of rounding, tense/lax in the distinctive feature model of phonology are presented.

title: Gender in Chinese Literary Thought of the Republican Period.
Creators: name: Sandeberg, Maria af
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2005

description: The thesis is about the relationship between gender and Chinese literary thought in the Republican period, focusing on the 1920s and early 1930s. It explores the ways in which gender was described as significant to literature in writings on literature such as literary theory, literary criticism, literary debates, and literary histories. It analyses how critics and literary historians related the gendered concepts "women's literature" (funu wenxue) and "women writers" (nuzuojia) to ideas of modernity and tradition, and to ideas of truth and authenticity in literature. Chapters One and Two establish that "women's literature" was often treated as separate or different from men's literature, and investigate the discourses which provided support for this position. Chapter One shows that traditional women's poetry, as well as feminism, formed important contexts for Republican period views on gender in literature. Chapter Two argues that scientific discourse also influenced views on gender and writing. Chapters Three to Five treat Republican period views on traditional women's literature. Chapters Three and Four describe how the introduction of the genre of literary history transformed the way earlier writings by women were conceptualised, and compare how different ways of applying modern theories to traditional women's literature resulted in different historical narratives of women's literary past. Chapter Five explores the relationship between gender and the concept of "truth" in literature, as it was applied to earlier writings by women. Chapters Six and Seven discuss uses of the concept "woman writer" applied to modern women writers. Chapter Six focuses on the debates surrounding the 1929 Zhenmeishan special issue on women writers and Chapter Seven analyses how women writers were received by socialist critics. This thesis highlights the complexity and heterogeneity of writings on women's literature and women writers. It shows that although critics sometimes interpreted women's literature in terms of a break with tradition, literary traditions continued to inform writings on gender and literature. Moreover, modern theories inspired a variety of sometimes conflicting perspectives on women and literature.
