title: The Pahlavi Andarz literature.
Creators: name: Shaked, Shaul
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The first part of the work gives a survey of the andarz books extant in Pahlavi. The texts are arranged according to whether they are attributed to a likely or legendary author or are anonymous. The sixth book of the Denkart, the largest collection of andarz, is dealt with separately. The discussion contains in each case, besides details of bibliographical interest, remarks on the character and structure of the text and notes on its relationship to other andarz compositions. Philological notes are included on difficult passages. The last sections of the first part deal with some general problems of the andarz literature; and an attempt is made to distinguish types of books and to comment on various stylistic devices used in these books. The question of the midrashic technique is discussed in some detail. The second part is devoted to analyzing the religious system of thought reflected in the andarz books, and particularly in Dk vi. This is done partly by examining the use of terms in different contexts. The main subjects discussed are: the various associations connected with the notion of wisdom; some techniques of instruction; the concepts of faith and religion; the complex of ideas centred round the term 'spirit'; the various ways of righteousness and the ideas connected with sin; the attitude to this world the concept of poverty and the poor; the idea of the measure; the reward in afterlife, the notion of xwarr, the problem of fate and free will. The probable existence of esoteric doctrines in Sasanian Iran is also considered.
title: Capital formation in the petroleum industry in Iran, 1954-1973.
Creators: name: Mansoor, S. H. S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1979

description: As a step towards a rigorous study of capital formation in Iranian economy, this study is concerned with the detailed measurement of capital stock in the oil industry in Iran. The study is an empirical one in that it is based on the item-by-item examination of investment flows and presents disaggregated series of capital stock according to types of capital goods. The first two chapters comprise an attempt to put the study on the context of Iranian oil industry and to examine the framework of investment-decision-makings. Chapters three - five deal with the technical problems involved in defining, classifying, deflating and accounting for depreciation and obsolescence. Chapter six treats the problems in determining zero-year-stocks and presents both investment-flow and stocks-flow series in formats (92 Tables) which suggest structural and temporal composition of the stocks. The material thus provided, opens up new areas for investigation and analyses. And Chapter seven points at one such area of investigation by trying to explain the increased-output-per-unit of input, which is not explained by the availability of labour-per-unit-of-output and/or capital per-unit-of-output. The analysis establishes that capital has been deeply re-structured in favour of the more technology intensive infra-structural components. It also shows a constant technical bias in capital-labour substitution. Finally a technology index (A(t)) is constructed in order to determine the share-in-concrete-production of combined inputs of-zero-year-quality vis-a-vis that of modern technical embodiments.

description: Using Laplace transform techniques, we describe the determination of the longitudinal structure function $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$, at the leading-order approximation in momentum space, from the structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^2)$ and its derivative with respect to ${\ln}Q^2$ in a kinematical region of low values of the Bjorken variable $x$. Since the $x$ dependence of $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and its evolution with $Q^2$ are determined much better by the data than $F_L(x,Q^2)$, this method provides both a direct check on $F_L(x,Q^2)$ where measured, and a way of extending $F_L(x,Q^2)$ into regions of $x$ and $Q^2$ where there are currently no data. In our calculations, we ultilize the Block-Durand-Ha parametrization for the structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^2)$ [M. M. Block, L. Durand and P. Ha, Phys.Rev.D {\bf89}, 094027 (2014)]. We find that the Laplace transform method in momentum space provides correct behaviors of the extracted longitudinal structure function $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$ and that our obtained results are in line with data from the H1 Collaboration and other results for $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$ obtained using Mellin transform method.
title: Omuo-Ekiti : Continuity and change in the social organisation of a peasant society in the Ondo State of Nigeria.
Creators: name: Ademola, A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: This thesis is concerned with continuity and change in the social organisation of Omuo-Ekiti, a predominantly rural and peasant community in the North East of the old Western Region of Nigeria. It focuses on the dialectical relationship between kinship and power relations, and in particular on the way in which these have changed together over the last few decades as the society has been increasingly caught up in the market system. Up to the early 1940s, in what I term the Traditional Period, the lineage was the basis of political organisation and action. The king was the ritual head of the whole Omuo-Ekiti community, and nominally the owner of all lands. But power was effectively held by chiefs, lineage heads and elders, and the natural resources of the community were shared between, and distributed through the corporate lineages. Kinship was the main principle organising the society, and in this situation marriage-in particular the selection of a spouse - was a key determinant of group solidarity and social distance. Since the early 1940s, in the Modern period, there has been an increasing and dramatic change in power relations. The introduction of cocoa farming has disrupted lineage control of land tenure. Related to this, there has been a shift to modern forms of government, with elected local councils displacing lineage power. These developments are affected and limited by processes and relationships at the local community level. The significance of kinship and residential groupings has changed, in response to changes in the community's ties with the world outside. Cash cropping has led to increasing individualisation of economic interests; and the intervention of central government and political parties in the life of the community has intensified. Much of the traditional culture and society still survive, though. For example, the ideology of patrilineal descent, and of lineage restrictions on marriage, is still respected. Ceremonial rituals connected with the various festivals are still observed. And these cultural forms determine the particular nature of Omuo-Ekiti responses to their changing circumstances.
title: The intellectual development of Wu Zhihui: A reflection of society and politics in late Qing and Republican China.
Creators: name: Clifford, P. G.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: This thesis analyses the development of Wu Zhihui's ideas and their social and political application until 1927. Through this biographical approach the intention is to also reach out and achieve an understanding of his contemporaries and so come to broader conclusions about the period of rapid and fundamental intellectual change in which he lived. After establishing Wu's philosophical basis, his Darwinism, Kropotkinite anarchist communism and his materialist lifeview, there follows an analysis of his utopian goals and his view of the mechanics of social revolution. Then these theoretical positions are related to his political practice between 1890 and 1927 with special attention being paid to the degree of fidelity of transmission of these ideas to the Chinese context. His development from conservative reformer to nationalist revolutionary and then to anarchist supporter of the Revolution of 1911 is traced with special reference to his New Century magazine in Paris. His activities in the early years of the Republic are examined with analysis of his role within the Nationalist Party after 1924 and the origins of his fierce anti-communism. Finally two sections are devoted to Wu's contribution to education in China. The main problematic presented is the relationship in Wu Zhihui's thought between nationalism, the key ideological element in modern China, and anarchism. How could a patriotic Chinese genuinely embrace European anarchism without in some way distorting or adapting it? Adaptation of anarchism to the needs of nation building proved impossible and fundamental revisions which occurred in its introduction by Wu to China negated its essential intellectual attraction; opposition to all government. Beyond being a case study of the impact of foreign ideas on China, this thesis offers a general critique of the theoretical weaknesses of anarchism.

title: The written syntax of a group of deaf English children with a discussion of the methodological and theoretical problems involved in the study.
Creators: name: Ivimey, Geoffrey Philip
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1978

description: Previous investigations of the language skills and performance of children suffering from severe or profound auditory disability have yielded conflicting results. Some research workers have asserted that the deaf have no language and may even lack the ability to acquire linguistic rules. Most workers have made quantitative comparisons between the language of deaf and hearing children and have shown a massive retardation in linguistic development in the former. However they also report numerous errors in the language of the deaf that make it appear often bizarre and usually deviant. No attempt is made to detect whether these errors are random or systematically structured. A rather small number of other workers have shown that the language of their deaf subjects is rule-based but their work is weakened by their reliance on spontaneously generated data and by the imposition of an English-based transformational grammar in the language samples being analysed. The author has developed and previously used with 10-year-old deaf children a controlled elicitation technique of language sampling that avoids the pitfalls involved in using spontaneous data, viz. the problems of interpreting rarely-occurring or absent syntactic forms and of not knowing unambiguously the reference of every utterance. This technique is applied here to a group of profoundly deaf 13-year-old children and it is shown that their language productions are based on systems of structured rules. The elicitation technique is shown to be valid and reliable and is sufficiently sensitive to allow the detection of rather subtle changes between successive developmental stages. The analysis gives insights into the syntactic rules underlying spontaneous language samples taken from the deaf subjects and enables a tentative description of some extended texts to be carried out. It is shown that many of the "errors" described by earlier workers appear not to be so when the texts cease to be approached from the position of normal English, but are viewed as forming part of a language system sui generis.

title: The linguistic doctrine of Thomas Aquinas and its relevance to modern linguistics.
Creators: name: Dinneen, F. P.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1961

description: This thesis compares the traditional logico-philosophic approach to language as found in the writings of Thomas Aquinas, with contemporary scientific linguistics, for the first time. To date, only two authors, P. Manthey and V. Warnach, have dealt with Aquinas' linguistic doctrine in detail. Their works are cited in the bibliography. Neither of these authors is acquainted with scientific linguistics, and neither evaluates or criticizes Aquinas' work. By giving the historical background of the questions about language which Aquinas discussed, and by putting his views into the complex of philosophic, psychological, logical, grammatical and scientific work which was their setting, some of the criteria still implicit in traditional grammar become clearer. By setting out the difference between descriptive and explanatory categories as Aquinas saw it, some of the methodological differences between traditional grammar and scientific linguistics, as well as the possibility of their synthesis, emerge. This study should be of interest to linguists for the following reasons; (a) it is clear that the findings of scientific linguistics are readily assimilable into Aquinas' synthesis; (b) Aquinas' principles supply a justification for the autonomy of linguistic science; (c) Aquinas' position is mid-way between the "God's Truth" and "Hocus-pocus" attitudes toward linguistic description, and (d) a knowledge of Aquinas' work is helpful in clarifying some problems of interest to linguists, such as the status of linguistic abstractions and the treatment of meaning.

description: Distributed Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (D-MIMO) is envisioned to play a significant role in future wireless communication systems as an effective means to improve coverage and capacity. In this paper, we have studied the impact of a practical two-level data routing scheme on radio performance in a downlink D-MIMO scenario with segmented fronthaul. At the first level, a Distributed Unit (DU) is connected to the Aggregating Radio Units (ARUs) that behave as cluster heads for the selected serving RU groups. At the second level, the selected ARUs connect with the additional serving RUs. At each route discovery level, RUs and/or ARUs share information with each other. The aim of the proposed framework is to efficiently select serving RUs and ARUs so that the practical data routing impact for each User Equipment (UE) connection is minimal. The resulting post-routing Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) among all UEs is analyzed after the routing constraints have been applied. The results show that limited fronthaul segment capacity causes connection failures with the serving RUs of individual UEs, especially when long routing path lengths are required. Depending on whether the failures occur at the first or the second routing level, a UE may be dropped or its SINR may be reduced. To minimize the DU-ARU connection failures, the segment capacity of the segments closest to the DU is set as double as the remaining segments. When the number of active co-scheduled UEs is kept low enough, practical segment capacities suffice to achieve a zero UE dropping rate. Besides, the proper choice of maximum path length setting should take into account segment capacity and its utilization due to the relation between the two.

title: The structure and organisation of the Bengal native infantry with special reference to problems of discipline, (1796-1852).
Creators: name: Sen, A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1961

description: The first chapter of this thesis describes the origin and gradual growth of the Bengal native infantry forces in the period of almost continual war between 1757 and 1795, and the fashioning of a disciplined force, with elaborate codes of regulations, from the military adventurers of Mughal Bengal. The second chapter deals with the army regulations of 1796, the reasons behind the measure and its effect upon the European officers. The other Government orders relating to the service condition of the European officer cadre of the Bengal sepoy establishment during the period from 1796 to 1852 are therefore discussed, and their consequences considered. The third chapter describes the changes in the service conditions of the sepoys in the same period 1796 to 1852 and the reactions those changes provoked. The fourth chapter narrates the gradual extension of the Company's territory, the rapid increase in the number of the sepoy regiments, and the changes in the nature of their duties which followed from the absorption of all North India into the Bengal Presidency. The part played by the native regiments in the campaigns of conquest are described, and the mutinous incidents which occurred in the course of those campaigns. The occasion, cause, and outcome of the mutinies are discussed in detail, so as to establish that sepoy dissatisfaction was growing steadily in the last 25 years of the period under study. The fifth chapter seeks to answer the question why the Bengal native infantry found it necessary to mutiny, and to estimate the relative importance of the grievances to which vent was given in mutiny.

description: We consider second-order phase transitions in which the order parameter is a replicated overlap matrix. We focus on a tricritical point that occurs in a variety of mean-field models and that, more generically, describes higher order liquid-liquid or liquid-glass transitions. We show that the static replicated theory implies slowing down with a logarithmic decay in time. The dynamical equations turn out to be those predicted by schematic Mode Coupling Theory for supercooled viscous liquids at a $A_3$ singularity, where the parameter exponent is $λ=1$. We obtain a quantitative expression for the parameter $μ$ of the logarithmic decay in terms of cumulants of the overlap, which are physically observable in experiments or numerical simulations.

title: The problem of the standards of Indian currency.
Creators: name: Sadeque, A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1948

description: This study examines tree development of monetary management in India from 1873 to date, with special reference to the objectives or standards to which such management has tried to conform. During this period, economic opinion about monetary objectives has undergone revolutionary changes. During the first fifty years, the maintenance of a stable exchange rate through gold standard mechanism was the objective. During the nineteen, thirties, internal stability at a high level of economic activity and employment became the aim of currency management. In the present decade, the maintenance of a stable international currency relation and internal full employment are both retarded as objectives. The introductory chapter of this study reviews the development of this evolution. Monetary manages.ent is fundamentally an international activity, though different countries play unequal parts in it. The general course of management has been regulated, for all, by the major economies of the world, or, more correctly, by England before world War 1, and after it by England, U.S.A., Germany and France. The function of smaller countries has been one of adaptation. Monetary management in the major economies has thus automatically constituted the main part of the Monetary management in a minor economy like India. The indigenous aspect of indian currency management has seen the secondary function of adaptation to the international framework devised abroad. Consequently, an analysis of the international gold standard of the fifty years, and of the attempts of the Indian management to adjust its system to the international standard, constitutes the subject-matter of Chapters II and III. Chapter IV analyses the currency warfare of the thirties resulting from the efforts of the major economies to assume domestic currency autonomy, and its repercussions on Indian currency management. The last two chapters (V and VI) examine the problems of Indian currency management in the present decade, when the maintenance of an equilibrium exchange rate fixed by the international agreement embodied in the Bretton Woods system, and of internal full employment, should form the monetary objectives of India. The speciality of this study lies in as. international perspective of Indian currency management, in its attempts to locate India's real position in the international monetary set-up during the period under review and in its prescribing the external currency relation which India should maintain in the immediate future. The examination of the extent to which the internal monetary objective of full employment investment may be pursued in India, in this international set-up is another contribution of this enquiry.

description:
BACKGROUND: Pay-for-performance (P4P) incentives can be paid as a bonus (gain) or a penalty (loss). Diminishing marginal utility of wealth suggests that, starting from the same initial wealth, individuals dislike losses more than they like equivalent gains. OBJECTIVE: This study reports the minimum financial gain or loss required to motivate primary care providers and clinical staff to try to increase their human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates. DATA: In 2022, we conducted a national U.S. survey through WebMD's Medscape Network of clinical staff working in primary care clinics that provided HPV vaccination to children ages 9 through 12 years (N = 2,527; response rate = 57%). METHODS: We randomized respondents to one of two hypothetical HPV vaccine incentive designs: a bonus for reaching an unspecified target HPV vaccination rate and a penalty for failing to reach the unspecified target. The primary outcome is the self-reported smallest incentive amount (U.S. dollars) that would motivate participants to try and increase their HPV vaccination rates. We tested for differences across P4P designs using unadjusted responses and linear regressions adjusting for clinic and respondent characteristics. We also tested for heterogeneous responses by experience with incentizves, training, and rurality. RESULTS: The mean amount required to motivate effort was $2,155 in the gain P4P design and $1,185 in the loss P4P design (unadjusted difference =  $970 [p < 0.001], adjusted difference =  $967 [p < 0.001]). There were no heterogeneous effects by rurality or experience with incentives. Physicians reported the highest differences (in dollars) between gain and loss P4P designs. CONCLUSIONS: Stated preference data from primary care clinical staff suggests that effective P4P incentives could be half as large if designed as losses rather than gains.

description: The study is concerned in the first place with an investigation of evidence for clan exogamy during the period of the Brahmanas, an the allied question of relationship-terminology. In the second place it deals with an elucidation of the complex problem of the Vratyas. An intermediary chapter is devoted to a description of the social and functional groups. Finally, a discussion of the available evidence for 'sapinda' restrictions is added. With regard to clan exogamy the word 'Aril in the Rgveda is of particular significance. 'Jana' and 'jami in the Brahmanas have also been found to be of similar importance in as such as the former signifies the marriage- able exogamous group and the latter the non-marriageable group. In the context of relationship-terminology the words 'agredidhisu' (the woman wooed before) 'didhistrpatil (the husband of 'agredidhisu') 'parivitta' (the unmarried elder brother) 'parivividana' (the younger brother married while the elder brother remains a bachelor) 'anujavara' (the posthumous son, or the younger brother of inferior status) 'bhrarvya' (the brother-in-law) and 'sajata' (fellow-clansman), are analysed. Amon the social and functional groups the distinction between those of the 'Taksan' and the 'Rathakgra' has be-n noticed. In dealing with the problem of the 'Vratyast', firstly former contributions in this field have be n reviewed in detail. Secondly, previous suggestions in connection with the etymologioal explanation of the word Vratyal have been considered. Thirdly, it has been pointed out that the 'Viatya' book of the Atharvaveda is, in all probability, compiled from fragments of a lost Brahmana text. Fourthly, the references to the 'Vratyas' in the Tandya and Jaiminiya have been duly noted and inter-pretations hitherto proposed, scrutinised. Lastly, the conolusion is arrived at, that the 'Vratyas were non-Brahmanical Aryans, possibly similar to the Ksatriyas, and having alien ritual practices. In conclusion it has been conjectured that the passage in the Satapatha bearing on 'Sapiada' restrictions ex-presses diapproval of the marriage-practice to which it refers.

description: A Deep Learning approach is devised to estimate the elastic energy density $ρ$ at the free surface of an undulated stressed film. About 190000 arbitrary surface profiles h(x) are randomly generated by Perlin noise and paired with the corresponding elastic energy density profiles $ρ(x)$, computed by a semi-analytical Green's function approximation, suitable for small-slope morphologies. The resulting dataset and smaller subsets of it are used for the training of a Fully Convolutional Neural Network. The trained models are shown to return quantitative predictions of $ρ$, not only in terms of convergence of the loss function during training, but also in validation and testing, with better results in the case of the larger dataset. Extensive tests are performed to assess the generalization capability of the Neural Network model when applied to profiles with localized features or assigned geometries not included in the original dataset. Moreover, its possible exploitation on domain sizes beyond the one used in the training is also analyzed in-depth. The conditions providing a one-to-one reproduction of the ground-truth $ρ(x)$ profiles computed by the Green's approximation are highlighted along with critical cases. The accuracy and robustness of the deep-learned $ρ(x)$ are further demonstrated in the time-integration of surface evolution problems described by simple partial differential equations of evaporation/condensation and surface diffusion.

description: For the past ten years I have conducted research in the town of Chuao (Aragua State), an area settled in the 16th Century, site of the oldest and most renowned cocoa plantation of Venezuela. By the mid-17th century, the owner turned control of the enterprise over to the Roman Catholic Church, which administered it through the Inter-diocesan Seminary until 1827, at which time, by direct order of Simon Bolivar, the plantation became the property of the University of Caracas (today the Universidad Central de Venezuela) until 1883. From then it came under the direct control of the State.;The inhabitants are descended from African slave populations brought in by Spanish colonists; and the area can only be reached by sea. The relative isolation of Chuao makes it a special place in which one can study the evolution of artistic and rituals forms. Chuao appears to be one of the few African communities in modem Venezuela which has actively maintained links with its past. The Chuao tradition has evolved in the local integration of official (Spanish Catholicism) and popular (slave African elements). This may well exemplify the evolution of artistical ritual forms in other coastal communities of north-central Venezuela from the time of Spanish Colonialism.;The thesis is centred around the principal festivities of the community of Chuao: Corpus Christi (featuring "devil" masquerade) and the festive cycle of Saint John the Baptist (featuring images of the Saint and his mistress). Both festivities are organized by societies, the Corpus Christi society led by men and the Saint John society, by women. These societies are thus responsible for all the different aspects of the celebrations, such as the preparation for the festival, rehearsals, stages of the festivities, masks, costumes, images, dances, music, songs, speeches and poems.;These festivities are placed within the historical background of the community, and plantation of Chuao including the possible origin of the Africans arrived in Spanish America during the period of the slave trade. Moreover, the importance of the religious tradition of Chuao for an understanding of these festivities is provided by the Doctrine of Maria Tecla.
Spontaneous breaking of the $\text{SO}(2N)$ symmetry in the Gross-Neveu model

description: The canonical Gross-Neveu model for $N$ two-component Dirac fermions in $2+1$ dimensions suffers a continuous phase transition at a critical interaction $g_{c1} \sim 1/N$ at large $N$, at which its continuous symmetry $\text{SO}(2N)$ is preserved and a discrete (Ising) symmetry becomes spontaneously broken. A recent mean-field calculation, however, points to an additional transition at a different critical $g_{c2}\sim -N g_{c1}$, at which $\text{SO}(2N) \rightarrow \text{SO}(N) \times \text{SO}(N)$. To study the latter phase transition we rewrite the Gross-Neveu interaction $g (\barψ ψ)^2$ in terms of three different quartic terms for the single ($L=1$) $4N$-component real (Majorana) fermion, and then extend the theory to $L>1$. This allows us to track the evolution of the fixed points of the renormalization group transformation starting from $L\gg 1$, where one can discern three distinct critical points which correspond to continuous phase transitions into (1) $\text{SO}(2N)$-singlet mass-order-parameter, (2) $\text{SO}(2N)$-symmetric-tensor mass-order-parameters, and (3) $\text{SO}(2N)$-adjoint nematic-order-parameters, down to $L=1$ value that is relevant to the standard Gross-Neveu model. Below the critical value of $L_c (N)\approx 0.35 N$ for $N\gg1$ only the Gross-Neveu critical point (1) still implies a diverging susceptibility for its corresponding ($\text{SO}(2N)$-singlet) order parameter, whereas the two new critical points that existed at large $L$ ultimately become equivalent to the Gaussian fixed point at $L=1$. We interpret this metamorphosis of the $\text{SO}(2N)$-symmetric-tensor fixed point from critical to spurious as an indication that the transition at $g_{c2}$ in the original Gross-Neveu model is turned first-order by fluctuations.
