title: Muslims and the Politics of Love in Contemporary British Fiction
Creators: name: Banting, Adrian
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores the connections between love, multiculturalism and the novel through a study of the figure of the Muslim as understood within secular Britain. I examine representations of love in British fiction published since the Rushdie affair, arguing that love is a crucial means by which novels reproduce, subvert and challenge dominant cultural and political discourses around Muslims and Islam. Selected literary texts by Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, Monica Ali, Nadeem Aslam, Mohsin Hamid, Zia Haider Rahman, Shelina Zahra Janmohamed and Leila Aboulela include a wide range of subject matter, spanning varied authors and genres, but all are united by their inclusion of Muslim subjectivities and romantic relationships in Britain. In addition to studying literary texts, I also consider the critical reception of texts, exploring critics’ negotiations of the discourses around Muslims and Islam pervasive in British media and politics after the Rushdie affair.

Drawing upon Talal Asad’s notion of an ‘anthropology of secularism’, I explore love in the novel as a site of secular knowledge. I argue that contemporary novels which depict Muslims and Islam frequently use love as the basis for their inclusion within or exclusion from the nation. Love operates alongside and within formal literary strategies as well as concepts of gender, race, culture and class, to respond to popular debates which contest the presence of Muslims and Islam within Britain. Despite its ubiquity within popular culture, love is an under researched area which can shed light on the complex dynamics which construct and situate individuals and communities in relation to the British nation and the West more widely. Through a study of representation, this study originally contributes to an understanding of love’s invisible power in political discourse.
title: Distressing Unusual Experiences, Childhood Adversity and Affect.
Creators: name: Basit, Nedah
Publisher: name: The University of East London

description: Background: Developing a better psychological understanding of unusual experiences (UEs) in a child and adolescent population has become an important area of research. Presently, much of our understanding of UEs has derived from psychological models of psychosis in adults. There is now a robust evidence-base supporting the relationship between childhood adversity (CA) and psychosis in adulthood, and researchers have begun to study the psychological processes involved in this relationship. Importantly, associated psychological processes appear to differ according to the type of experience, suggesting targeted approaches for therapy development. Research is needed to test these associations, and the potential applicability of theory and therapies, in children and young people. 
Aims: This study aimed to investigate specific associations between CA and distressing paranoia, voice-hearing, and visual experiences in a child and adolescent population, and consider the role of negative affect, schemas, and dissociative experiences as mediating components within this association.  
Method: A cross-sectional design, using secondary data analysis was adopted. A total sample of 249 participants, aged 8-18 years, from community and inpatient Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) was comprised of three smaller, original studies which had also investigated alternative psycho-social correlates of UEs. Participants completed self-report questionnaires which measured UEs, previous experiences of adversity, negative affect, beliefs about oneself and others, and dissociative experiences. Hypothesised associations and mediating relationships were tested using correlational, between groups, and regression analyses. 
Results: The presence of more than one adverse experience was associated with severity of paranoia, negative affect, and negative self-evaluations. In line with hypotheses, negative affect and negative self-beliefs partially mediated the relationship between CA and distressing paranoia, and paranoia was not associated with dissociation. Contrary to hypotheses, CA was not independently associated with voice-hearing, visual experiences or dissociative experiences. Both voice-hearing and visual experiences were independently associated with negative affect, negative self-evaluations, and dissociative experiences. 
Discussion: The findings support the application of adult models of paranoia and interventions that target adverse experiences, negative affect and enhance positive self-beliefs in childhood. The application of adult models of voice-hearing and visual experiences was not supported and requires further investigation. Future directions for research and clinical implications for both services and broader social initiatives are discussed.

description: We propose a new approach to measuring the agreement between two oscillatory time series, such as seismic waveforms, and demonstrate that it can be employed effectively in inverse problems. Our approach is based on Optimal Transport theory and the Wasserstein distance, with a novel transformation of the time series to ensure that necessary normalisation and positivity conditions are met. Our measure is differentiable, and can readily be employed within an optimization framework. We demonstrate performance with a variety of synthetic examples, including seismic source inversion, and observe substantially better convergence properties than achieved with conventional $L_2$ misfits. We also briefly discuss the relationship between Optimal Transport and Bayesian inference.

title: An Investigation into the Distribution of Leadership in Extended Learning Activities Through the Lens of Cultural Historical Activity Theory
Creators: name: Chapman, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: In order to address the criticism that Distributed Leadership (DL) literature is vague, confusing, has misleading definitions and is contradictory (Spillane and Coldren, 2011, p.26), this thesis puts forward a different approach in the form of a ‘Universal Leadership Culture’. This was developed from the findings of a study which aimed to investigate the distribution of leadership in Extended Learning Activities (ELAs), delivered in Centres placed in high profile sports clubs in England, through the particular Government initiative of ‘Playing for Success’ (PfS). Within an interpretative paradigm qualitative data was collected from two PfS Extended Learning Centres, established in Football Club stadiums. From considering the ideals of DL, as presented in the literature (Gronn, 2002, MacBeath 2004, Spillane, 2006, Leithwood et al., 2007), this study began with the assumption that the distribution of leadership had supported these Centres to deliver their desired outcomes. It investigated what it looked like and how and why it is facilitated. However, to create a more empirically robust theoretical framework, Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) was combined with the existing conceptual frameworks of the ‘Distributed Leadership Perspective’ (Spillane, 2006) to become the ‘Theoretical Lens for Leadership Distribution’. It provided an analytical ‘close-up’ of the elements of leadership activity from a historical and cultural viewpoint to understand what the implications of efficacy were and the ‘conditions where leadership distribution might thrive’ (Harris, 2008 p.183). Leadership distribution patterns, identified in the DL literature, were refined for this thesis into four categories of formal, pragmatic, organic and chaotic alignments of distribution. Through the activity systems of CHAT it could be seen that Centres used the distribution of leadership to support them in reaching their goals in different ways. Centre A relied on more organic situations, developing ‘hands on’ experience while Centre B created formal systems, such as training. However, staff in both Centres did not fully understand what approaches to leadership they were employing and displayed potentially disruptive or exploitative forms of distribution with chaotic alignments. For leadership distribution to be supportive to an organisation, there needs to be a holistic and self-aware approach that encourages continuous open and honest communication to ensure its effectiveness, as illustrated through a Universal Leadership Culture. It is hoped this might support future researchers, policy makers and practitioners looking at the distribution of leadership.
title: Racial Identity in teachers’ educational practice in the context of Colombia
Creators: name: Bonilla Medina, Sandra
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines the relationship between race and education in Colombia. The study focuses on teachers’ perceptions of racial identities and educational practices. Through conceptualising educational practice at a multi-level approach of macro (policies and curriculum), meso (media) and micro levels (teaching practice), the study explores how (racial) discourses and practices at these levels may come to affect teachers’ understanding of racial identities and how this may be manifested in their understanding of teaching practices. An empirical approach based on interviews with sixteen state school teachers in the city of Bogota is used to analyse teachers’ experiences and ideas on issues of race and education.
The study contributes to the field of education in Colombia by introducing the discussion of race which, up to now, has been underexplored. More specifically, this study identifies through critical discourse analysis how teachers make sense of dominant racial structures and how their understandings bear on their perceptions of educational practices. The analysis of these issues draws on a powerful theoretical framework which combines insights from critical race theory (CRT), whiteness and postcolonialism. CRT and Whiteness, in particular, seek to explore how racial identities are structurally constituted while postcolonialism facilitates the critical interrogation of constructions of those identities in relation to colonial historical events. This approach is very innovative, as CRT and Whiteness Studies have rarely been applied to explore educational issues in Colombia. It is argued that racist discourses in Colombia tend to be reproduced through educational practices since racist structures maintain power relations and those relations shape teachers’ views.
The findings strongly suggest that whiteness-centred discourses present in public policies and in the media, seem to impact on teachers’ perspectives of racial identities and on educational practices. In relation to policy, this appears to be the case firstly because policies are usually imposed rather than discussed and this leads teachers to accept policy demands as regimes of truth; and secondly because whiteness involves a dysconscious racism that obscures the power relations in asymmetric relations. Furthermore, racial structures (namely whiteness) also appear to shape teachers’ educational practices by producing discriminatory practices towards students and 3 teachers themselves. More particularly, in the construction of racial identities, the findings suggest that white privilege is present in teachers’ self-identifications and that this privilege produces exclusionary practices. Consequently, white privilege appears to affect teachers’ views of racial identities and leads them to essentialise identities as fixed and unchangeable. These essentialisations also reflect discriminatory and exclusionary practices which also shape educational practices.
Autonomous Crosslink Radionavigation for a Lunar CubeSat Mission

description: This study presents an autonomous orbit determination system based on crosslink radiometric measurements applied to a future lunar CubeSat mission to clearly highlight its advantages with respect to existing ground-based navigation strategies. This work is based on the Linked Autonomous Interplanetary Satellite Orbit Navigation (LiAISON) method which provides an autonomous navigation solution solely using satellite-to-satellite measurements, such as range and/or range-rate, to estimate absolute spacecraft states when at least one of the involved spacecraft has an orbit with a unique size, shape, and orientation. The lunar vicinity is a perfect candidate for this type of application due to the asymmetrical gravity field: the selected lunar mission, an Earth-Moon L2 (EML2) Halo orbiter, has an inter-satellite link between a lunar elliptical frozen orbiter. Simulation results show that, even in case of high-measurement errors (in the order of 100 m, 1 sigma, the navigation filter estimates the true states of spacecraft at EML2 with an error in the order of 500 m for position, and 2 mm/s for velocity, respectively and the elliptical lunar frozen orbiter states can be estimated in the order of 100 m for position and 1 cm/s for velocity, respectively. This study shows that range-only measurements provide better state estimation than range-rate-only measurements for this specific situation. Different bias handling strategies are also investigated. It has been found that even a less accurate ranging method, such as data-aided ranging, provides a sufficient orbit determination solution. This would simplify the communication system design for the selected CubeSat mission. The most observable states are found to be position states of the lunar orbiter via the observability analysis. In addition, the best tracking windows are also investigated for the selected mission scenario.

title: Motivationale Faktoren als Risiko- bzw. Schutzfaktoren für eine Sekundäre Traumatisierung bei freiwillig tätigen Personen in der Flüchtlingshilfe
Creators: name: Busin, Jonas
Year: 2018

description: Bei der Arbeit mit traumatisierten Geflüchteten kann es zu einer Übertragung von PTBS-Symptomen auf die helfenden Personen kommen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung von motivationalen Faktoren als mögliche Risiko- bzw. Schutzfaktoren für Sekundär Traumatischen Stress (STS). Zusätzlich wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen dem von freiwillig tätigen Personen als Belastung wahrgenommenen unsicheren Aufenthaltsstaus der Geflüchteten und deren STS untersucht. Zuletzt wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Alter und STS bei freiwillig tätigen Personen überprüft. An der Online-Studie haben 417 Personen aus dem gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum teilgenommen, die freiwillig in der Flüchtlingshilfe tätig waren. Eine hierarchische Regressionsanalyse mit STS als Kriterium und motivationalen Funktionen als Prädiktoren hat gezeigt, dass die Schutzfunktion (β = .22, p < .001) und die Wertefunktion (β = .18, p = .001) Risikofaktoren für STS darstellten. Bei Personen, die mindestens 4 Wochenstunden freiwillig tätig waren, zeigte sich die Selbstwertfunktion (β = -.17, p = .025) als Schutzfaktor. Vortraumatisierung wurde als Kontrollvariable berücksichtigt. Zwischen dem von den Probanden als Belastung wahrgenommenen unsicheren Aufenthaltsstaus der Geflüchteten und deren STS wurde ein mittlerer Zusammenhang gefunden (r(417) = .47, p < .001). Es wurde kein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Alter der Probanden und deren STS gefunden (r(417) = .10, p = .055). Die Studie zeigt, dass motivationale Faktoren Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren für STS bei freiwillig tätigen Personen in der Flüchtlingshilfe sein können. Da die Wertefunktion in sozial-karitativen Stichproben häufig vorkommt, sind hier Präventionsmaßnahmen besonders wichtig. Selbstwertförderliches Feedback in Bezug auf die Freiwilligentätigkeit könnte Personen vor STS schützen.

Critical distance and Crofton form in confining geometries

description: For two symmetric strips with equal and finite size and in the background of several confining geometries, we numerically calculate the critical distance between these two mixed systems where the mutual information between them drops to zero and show that this quantity could be a useful correlation measure in probing the phase structures of holographic QCD models. The models that we consider here are Sakai-Sugimoto and deformed Sakai-Sugimoto, Klebanov-Tseytlin and Maldacena Nunez. For evaluating the structures of these holographic supergravity geometries from the perspective of the bulk reconstruction, we also calculate their Crofton forms and show that there is a universal behavior in the confining backgrounds where a "well functionality" is present around the IR cutoff point, and far from the IR wall the scalar part of the Crofton form would become constant, demonstrating the effects of the wall of the confining models on the phase structures. This work is the shorter version of our previous work arXiv:2110.12970 with few more results about the connections between phases.

description: Die korrekte Terminologie leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zum richtigen Funktionieren der Kommunikation innerhalb eines bestimmten Fachgebiets. Diese Masterarbeit versteht sich als übersetzungsorientierte zweisprachige Terminologiearbeit zum Thema Heizungs-, Klima- und Lüftungssysteme für Straßen- und Schienenfahrzeuge. Es wurde das Sprachenpaar Deutsch – Russisch untersucht und verglichen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Begriffe im Deutschen und Russischen zu analysieren und angesichts der geringen Anzahl aktueller Fachwörterbücher zum Themengebiet HKL Systeme ein ergänzendes Arbeitsmittel (Glossar) zu erstellen. Die Arbeit besteht aus dem theoretischen und praktischen Teil. Im theoretischen Teil werden die Grundlagen der Terminologie sowie ihre Aktualität und Bedeutung in der heutigen Zeit untersucht. Der praktische Teil umfasst 100 terminologische Einträge, die nach Prinzipien der Begriffsorientierung sowie der Benennungsautonomie, Granularität, Kombinierbarkeit, Ele-mentarität der Datenfelder und Konsistenz der Feldinhalte erstellt wurden. Die ausgesuchten Termini wurden mittels der deskriptiven Erarbeitung des russischen und deutschen Terminologiebestandes sowie der strukturellen und semantischen Analyse erarbeitet. Das zweisprachige Glossar DE-RU kann als Hilfsmittel beim Übersetzen im Bereich HKL Systeme dienen. Da es sich bei HKL Systemen um ein sehr umfangreiches Fachgebiet handelt, erhebt die vor-liegende Arbeit keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit.
description: The correct terminology contributes to the proper functioning of communication within a specific expert field. This master's thesis serves as a translation-related bilingual terminology work on heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems for road and rail vehicles. The investigated languages are German and Russian. This paper aims to examine terms in German and Russian and to compile a glossary as addition to a small number of current dictionaries on topic HVAC systems. The paper consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part gives an overview of the basis of terminology and investigates the question of its topicality and significance in modern times. The practical part comprises 100 terminological entries, that were created according to principles of conceptual orientation, designation autonomy, granularity, combinability, elementarity of data fields and consistence of field contents. The methods used in the examination of selected terms are the descriptive elaboration of Russian and German terminology and structural and semantic analysis. The bilingual glossary DE-RU can be used as additional working tool for translating in the HVAC sector. As HVAC systems is very extensive expert area, the present paper does not claim to be complete.

description: When a model's performance differs across socially or culturally relevant groups--like race, gender, or the intersections of many such groups--it is often called "biased." While much of the work in algorithmic fairness over the last several years has focused on developing various definitions of model fairness (the absence of group-wise model performance disparities) and eliminating such "bias," much less work has gone into rigorously measuring it. In practice, it important to have high quality, human digestible measures of model performance disparities and associated uncertainty quantification about them that can serve as inputs into multi-faceted decision-making processes. In this paper, we show both mathematically and through simulation that many of the metrics used to measure group-wise model performance disparities are themselves statistically biased estimators of the underlying quantities they purport to represent. We argue that this can cause misleading conclusions about the relative group-wise model performance disparities along different dimensions, especially in cases where some sensitive variables consist of categories with few members. We propose the "double-corrected" variance estimator, which provides unbiased estimates and uncertainty quantification of the variance of model performance across groups. It is conceptually simple and easily implementable without statistical software package or numerical optimization. We demonstrate the utility of this approach through simulation and show on a real dataset that while statistically biased estimators of group-wise model performance disparities indicate statistically significant differences, when accounting for statistical bias in the estimator, the estimated between-group disparities are no longer statistically significant.

description: Generalization across different environments with the same tasks is critical for successful applications of visual reinforcement learning (RL) in real scenarios. However, visual distractions -- which are common in real scenes -- from high-dimensional observations can be hurtful to the learned representations in visual RL, thus degrading the performance of generalization. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel approach, namely Characteristic Reward Sequence Prediction (CRESP), to extract the task-relevant information by learning reward sequence distributions (RSDs), as the reward signals are task-relevant in RL and invariant to visual distractions. Specifically, to effectively capture the task-relevant information via RSDs, CRESP introduces an auxiliary task -- that is, predicting the characteristic functions of RSDs -- to learn task-relevant representations, because we can well approximate the high-dimensional distributions by leveraging the corresponding characteristic functions. Experiments demonstrate that CRESP significantly improves the performance of generalization on unseen environments, outperforming several state-of-the-arts on DeepMind Control tasks with different visual distractions.

description: Machine learning (ML) methods already permeate environmental decision-making, from processing high-dimensional data on earth systems to monitoring compliance with environmental regulations. Of the ML techniques available to address pressing environmental problems (e.g., climate change, biodiversity loss), Reinforcement Learning (RL) may both hold the greatest promise and present the most pressing perils. This paper explores how RL-driven policy refracts existing power relations in the environmental domain while also creating unique challenges to ensuring equitable and accountable environmental decision processes. We leverage examples from RL applications to climate change mitigation and fisheries management to explore how RL technologies shift the distribution of power between resource users, governing bodies, and private industry.

title: Fundmünzen aus Kirchen in Österreich
Creators: name: Merz, Carolin
Year: 2019

description: Diese Masterarbeit behandelt die numismatischen Funde des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit aus über 200 Kirchen in allen österreichischen Bundesländern und stellt damit, obwohl Forschungen diesbezüglich in anderen Ländern, beispielsweise in der Schweiz und den skandinavischen Ländern, bereits eine lange Tradition aufweisen können, erstmals eine Studie dieses Umfangs für Kirchenmünzfunde aus Österreich dar. Kirchenbauten bilden einen abgeschlossenen und oft über einen langen Zeitraum genutzten Raum, der durch archäologische Untersuchungen immer besser erschlossen werden kann. Des Weiteren sind Kirchen ein Ort, der oft mit Geld in Verbindung gebracht werden kann, sei es durch Spenden und Opfergaben oder durch Bauopfer. Anhand der numismatischen Funddatenbank des Instituts für Numismatik und Geldgeschichte sowie der Recherche in einschlägiger Literatur konnten mehrere tausend numismatische Fundstücke aus Kirchen verzeichnet werden. Aus dem Großteil der sakralen Gebäude stammen einzelne Streufunde, meist in geringer Anzahl. Neben diesen wurden auch diverse Baudepots, Schatzfunde und Grabbeigaben aus Kirchen erfasst. Zusätzlich zu der Verzeichnung der Grabungen erfolgt eine Analyse der Objekte, mit dem besonderen Fokus auf die Einzelfunde, deren Herkunft, Zeitstellung und Nominal. Im Zuge der Arbeit konnte dabei nachgewiesen werden, dass in österreichischen Kirchen vornehmlich regionales Kleingeld aufgefunden werden kann. Anhand der Fundmünzen konnten sowohl ehemalige politische Zugehörigkeiten der Pfarren belegt werden, als auch äußere Einflüsse auf die baulichen Strukturen der Gebäude selbst.
