description: Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $ω$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $ω$. Let also $\mathcal{Z}_ω(f) \subset C^{\infty}(M,\mathbb{R})$ be set of all functions taking constant values along orbits of $H$, and $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{id}}(f,ω)$ be the identity path component of the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ mutually preserving $ω$ and $f$. We construct a canonical map $φ: \mathcal{Z}_ω(f) \to \mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{id}}(f,ω)$ being a homeomorphism whenever $f$ has at least one saddle point, and an infinite cyclic covering otherwise. In particular, we obtain that $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{id}}(f,ω)$ is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to the circle. Similar results hold in fact for a larger class of maps $M\to P$ whose singularities are equivalent to homogeneous polynomials without multiple factors.

description: Utilizing NMR (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), FT-IR, UV-Visible, and quantum chemical approaches by using the DFT technique, experiments on 2-phenylthioanline were carried out. The B3LYP method and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set were used to optimize the molecular structure and vibrational modes. The ideal binding parameters match up well with the experimental binding parameters. VEDA successfully finished the assignments concerning the distribution of potential energy. The GIAO method was used to calculate shifts in the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, and the outcomes were compared to experimental spectra. The TDDFT approach and the CPCM solvent model were used to examine electronic properties such as UV-Vis (in the gas phase, methanol, Acetone, and DCM), and the results were compared to experimental UV-Vis spectra. The HOMO/LUMO energy values provide sufficient proof of such. Molecular docking and dynamic simulations were carried out with a 2HI4 protein target and gave the best result among the three proteins.
Networks of the Theban desert: social, economic and religious interactions in late Byzantine and early Islamic Thebes

description: This thesis examines the range of interactions which bound the Egyptian town of Jeme (Medinet Habu), and the nearby monasteries of the Theban necropolis, to each other and to other, more distant communities in the seventh and eighth centuries CE. In doing so, it also seeks to assess the importance of this west Theban community in the exchange networks that covered Egypt as a whole, and the Hermonthite and Koptite nomes in particular. An examination of the range of interactions which bound the Egyptian town of Jeme (Medinet Habu), and the nearby monasteries of the Theban necropolis, to each other and to more distant communities in the seventh and eighth centuries CE, with an emphasis on the importance of this west Theban community in the exchange networks that covered Egypt as a whole, and the Hermonthite and Koptite nomes in particular. The communities of western Thebes, and especially the town of Jeme, are ideal for this study since large amounts of documentary evidence in Coptic survive from multiple sites within well-defined chronological limits. While Jeme is the main focus, this thesis also concentrates on three of the many contemporary monastic communities in the area: the monastery of Apa Phoibammon, the monastery of Epiphanius, and the solitary monk Frange. These three communities are ideal since they have the largest bodies of documentary evidence attesting them, which makes network studies more viable, and since they are of different sizes and natures (monastery, laura, hermitage), making them a representative sample of the range ofcommunities present on the Theban mountain. Where relevant, material from other sites, in 2particular the monastery of Apa Paul, is also taken into consideration. The relationship between Jeme and the larger monastic communities of western Thebes was close and interdependent, and it is argued that the presence of Jeme allowed the monasteries to flourish, and that their success in turn increased Jeme’s own status. These close knit communities then formed a regional hub which, while not a site of the same importance as the nome capitals, was still of significant economic and religious importance to the communities of the Hermonthite and Koptite nomes. An understanding of the nature of the west Theban communities and how they fitted in to broader exchange networks not only demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between monastic and secular communities, but provides the groundwork for future sociological studies of the region, whose discussions can now be framed in the light of the regional importance of western Thebes.

description: Introduction

 lucid dreaming in surgical education has not been explored in depth, despite scientific knowledge on the principles. Previous surveys have been carried out in the medical field, examining the level of lucidity and its relation with metacognitive beliefs and dream anxiety in medical students. However, very little is known about lucid dreaming of practicing surgeons.

In this study, we therefore attempt to survey the level of lucidity in a select group of highly-achieving surgeons and observe a relationship between their high performance and degree of lucidity.

Methods and results

A survey to assess lucid dreaming potential using the LUCID scale and a questionnaire on general and demographic information was distributed among highly achieving surgeons. Results were compared to the lucid dream scale (a validated tool of assessing lucid dreaming) standard results in the literature. Several aspects which define dream consciousness were assessed including Insight, control, thought, realism, memory, dissociation, negative emotion and positive emotion.

The survey was sent to thirty surgeons, twenty surgeons responded to the survey including 18 males and two females (recall 2/3).  The mean, standard deviations, and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of the LUCID scale sub-scales were calculated.There was no significant difference between surgeons in our group and lucid dreamers results in the validated questionnaire by Voss et al 2013 with regard to insight and thought, realism (p > 0.3) and positive emotion (p>0.06). However, surgeons scored significantly higher with regards to the other aspects such as control (p<0.03), memory (p<0.001), dissociation (p<0.0008), and negative emotion (p<0.0001), as powerful indicators of lucidity.

Conclusion:

The highly achieving surgeons in this survey were shown to exhibit powerful lucid dreaming potentials, which they seem to use to enhance surgical training and preparation. These techniques should be explored for more broad application in surgery. The survey used in our study may be applicable to other specialties as well. Lucid dreaming may enhance medical learning and education. More systematic research on this topic in medicine and surgery should be conducted.

description: A correlation between giant-planet mass and atmospheric heavy elemental abundance was first noted in the past century from observations of planets in our own Solar System, and has served as a cornerstone of planet formation theory. Using data from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes from 0.5 to 5 microns, we conducted a detailed atmospheric study of the transiting Neptune-mass exoplanet HAT-P-26b. We detected prominent H2O absorption bands with a maximum base-to-peak amplitude of 525ppm in the transmission spectrum. Using the water abundance as a proxy for metallicity, we measured HAT-P-26b's atmospheric heavy element content [4.8 (-4.0 +21.5) times solar]. This likely indicates that HAT-P-26b's atmosphere is primordial and obtained its gaseous envelope late in its disk lifetime, with little contamination from metal-rich planetesimals.

Conceptual and practical approaches to aid the conservation of cetaceans

description: Cetaceans are a diverse group of marine mammals with a global distribution and at risk of a number natural and anthropogenic threats. There are gaps in our knowledge for some species (e.g., distribution, abundance), largely due to some species being more difficult to study because of their behaviour, rarity, or habitat remoteness. My thesis fills some of these conservation gaps. First, I present a review of known and emerging threats to species, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between threats acting at individual and population levels (Chapter two); threats acting at a population level are considered process thresholds, compromising the survival of a population or species. Secondly, I explore an example of a well-known anthropogenic threat, shipping, via the novel application of a terrestrial road ecology framework in the marine environment (Chapter three). This provides new insights to develop mitigation measures to reduce impacts from increased global shipping.Thirdly, I investigate the role of citizen science as a complementary tool for whale conservation (Chapter four). I demonstrate the benefits of citizen science-based studies as a robust, cost effective and citizen empowering approach to monitoring wildlife over long time periods. Finally, I explore the use of emerging technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or drones) for marine megafauna conservation via the development of a purpose-built low-cost drone for collecting whale lung microbiota (Chapters five and six). This approach can be used to provide a non-invasive, remote assessment of individual whale health and supporting data for long-term monitoring of population health.

description: The screening of plate-plate interactions by counterions is an age-old problem. We revisit this classic question when counterions exhibit a distribution of charges. While it is expected that the long-distance regime of interactions is universal, the behaviour of the inter-plate pressure at smaller distances should a priori depend rather severely on the nature of the ionic mixture screening the plate charges. We show that is not the case, and that for comparable Coulombic couplings, different systems exhibit a quasi-universal equation of state.

Dreams, problem-solving, and resilience in Chinese young adults

Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research

description: Anecdotal reports about dreaming, problem-solving, and resilience have been reported throughout history, and relationships between these constructs have been confirmed in recent empirical research. However, studies in China are few. To offer insights into this topic, an online survey measuring dream variables (attitude towards dreams, dream intensity, dream quantity, dream vividness, and altered dream episodes) and problem-solving and resilience was answered by 233 Chinese young people (M = 21.90, SD = 3.78) in Hong Kong. The survey included Attitude Toward Dreams Scale, Dream Intensity Scale-Revised, Resilience Scale-14, and problem-solving items. Data analyses included Pearson correlations to examine associations between variables, and multiple regression and mediation analyses to contribute a better understanding of their relationships. Significant and positive effects of dream vividness or altered dream episodes on problem-solving suggest that sensory dream experiences influence conscious problem-solving. In contrast, significant and negative effects of dream intensity and dream quantity on resilience imply that the intensity and quantity of dreams lead to diminished resilience, and also that dream variables must act indirectly upon problem-solving first in order for positive changes in resilience to occur. Although attitude towards dreams does not directly affect problem-solving or resilience, it has an indirect impact via dream intensity and its three dimensions, which, in turn, indirectly influence either problem-solving or resilience. These results advance the literature by quantifying the process or sequence of indirect effects of dream variables on problem-solving and resilience.

description: The one-pot four-component condensation of benzoic acid (R1), aniline (R2), benzaldehyde (R3), and 2-isocyano-2-methylpropane was investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G** level to explore the reaction mechanism as a theoretical study. All routes were studied and structure of intermediates (IM) was optimized and all of the respective transition states (TS) were found. The calculation results proved that the proposed mechanism consists of eight steps that rate determining the state is nucleophilic attack of isocyanide to benzaldehyde.
Least change view-updating for functorial view-gets with left adjoints
Creators: name: Livson, Ori
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Given a database, a view of it is a simplified version of that database, derived from some of its data, possibly through the output of query language expressions. This thesis is concerned with a category theoretic treatment of the View Update Problem, which is the problem of how to propagate a view update to an update of the original database. The basic Category Theoretic setting of interest to this thesis is that a database has an associated category S whose objects are valid states that the database can be in and some choice of valid updates as morphisms. A view of the database corresponding to S has its own state space V and a functor G : S - V, referred to as the view-get. So called least change view-update propagations have been studied in the categorical setting in papers stemming from, requiring that view-update propagations satisfy certain universal properties. This thesis studies the use of cartesian or opcartesian lifts as least change solutions to view-update problems. Moreover, the main contribution of this thesis are a pair of theorems pertaining to the existence of cartesian and opcartesian lifts respectively. The setting of these theorems involves G having a left adjoint L - G such that GL = idV.
The Nightmare Proneness Scale as a Measure of the Propensity to Experience Frequent Nightmares
Creators: name: Kelly, William E
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2024

description: The Nightmare Proneness Scale (NPS; Kelly, 2018) has been described as a measure of the propensity to experience frequent nightmares. However, previous research has only examined the NPS in relation to a continuum of lower to higher nightmare frequencies rather than its relationship to frequent (i.e., at least weekly) nightmares. The current study examined differences in high and low NPS scores across different frequencies of nightmares and dream recall among 824 university students. A significant 71% of individuals reporting frequent nightmares were classified as high on the NPS. Similarly, 71% of individuals reporting never experiencing nightmares were classified as low on the NPS. Dream recall had little relationship with NPS scores. The results support the proposal that high NPS scores indicate a tendency to experience frequent nightmares. Suggestions for additional research on the NPS and understanding differences in mechanisms of dreams and nightmares are discussed.

description: We propose two Bayesian multinomial-Dirichlet models to predict the final outcome of football (soccer) matches and compare them to three well-known models regarding their predictive power. All the models predicted the full-time results of 1710 matches of the first division of the Brazilian football championship and the comparison used three proper scoring rules, the proportion of errors and a calibration assessment. We also provide a goodness of fit measure. Our results show that multinomial-Dirichlet models are not only competitive with standard approaches, but they are also well calibrated and present reasonable goodness of fit.

description: An efficient, facile, and catalyst-free one-pot multicomponent green strategy under neat or aqueous conditions has been developed to synthesize a series of spiro compounds that contain two biologically active pharmacophores, benzochromenes/thio-chromenes and indan-1,3-dione, in a single molecular framework. The desired Spiroindene-1,3dione-benzochromene/thio-chromene derivatives were yielded through a one-pot, three-component reaction between ninhydrin, substituted 1,3-dicarbonyls, and 2-naphthol/2-naphthalene thiol via the Knoevenagel–Michael cascade. The advances of this strategy include high product yields (94–82%), the formation of a new asymmetric center, cost-effectiveness, atom economy, and a straightforward workup procedure that does not require any additional purification steps.
Differences in lucid dream reports and non-lucid dream reports: A single-case analysis
Creators: name: Schredl, Michael
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2024

description: Lucid dreams are dreams in which the dreamer is aware that s/he is dreaming. Skilled lucid dreamers often choose pleasurable activities like flying or having sex; thus, lucid dreams should be more bizarre and more positively toned than dreams in general. Although, some dream content analytic findings confirmed this, there also conflicting results. The present study analyzed all lucid dreams (47 pre-lucid, 34 lucid dreams without control, and 91 lucid dreams with control) recorded by a male dreamer over a time period of 32 years. As expected, the pre-lucid and lucid dreams showed more positive emotions and included more erotic and flying themes, but also less verbal interactions then the matched non-lucid control dreams. An exploratory analysis indicated that the three subgroups, pre-lucid dream, lucid dreams without control, and lucid dreams with control showed different patterns compared to the matched non-lucid dreams, e.g., the lucid dreams with control showed the highest bizarreness. Regarding emotions, only the lucid dreams with control showed a clear increase in positive emotions compared to non-lucid dreams, whereas only minor differences were found for pre-lucid dreams and lucid dreams without control. An important methodological advantage of the present study was that all pre-lucid and lucid dreams of the dreamer were included, and the non-lucid dreams were randomly selected; therefore, possible selection biases, e.g., reporting fun lucid dreams or bizarre non-lucid dreams were minimized. Thus, these findings – even though only based on a single participant – can help to elucidate the discrepancies reported in the literature dealing with dream content of lucid dreams.

description: Asymptotic Safety, based on a non-Gaussian fixed point of the gravitational renormalization group flow, provides an elegant mechanism for completing the gravitational force at sub-Planckian scales. At high energies the fixed point controls the scaling of couplings such that unphysical divergences are absent while the emergence of classical low-energy physics is linked to a crossover between two renormalization group fixed points. These features make Asymptotic Safety an attractive framework for cosmological model building. The resulting scenarios may naturally give rise to a quantum gravity driven inflationary phase in the very early universe and an almost scale-free fluctuation spectrum. Moreover, effective descriptions arising from an renormalization group improvement permit a direct comparison to cosmological observations as, e.g. Planck data.

Its molecular geometry, bond angle, and bond length are computed theoretically. Vibrational assignments and PED values are calculated theoretically and were corroborated with experimental IR spectra to gain insight and knowledge about the structural details of BPHI. The theoretical determination of the electronic transitions along with photophysical properties for various mediums (viz., gas, acetonitrile, DMSO), including HOMO and LUMO energy gap are theoretically found from time-dependent—density functional theory (TD-DFT). Interpretation of the Fukui function helps in identifying the active sites in BPHI. To study the topology of BPHI, ELF maps (electron localization function) have been utilized. Alongside, detailed analyses of RDG (reduced density gradient) as well as LOL (localized orbital locator) are also carried out. Interactions pertaining to donor and acceptor moiety in BPHI are computed through natural bond analysis. MEP analysis is used to determine the bioactive site of BPHI. 4F5S crystal structure with respect to BSA protein was used for molecular docking with the help of the CB-dock software and docked results are visualized by Molegro molecular view software.

The X-ray continuum time-lags and intrinsic coherence in AGN

description: We present the results from a systematic analysis of the X-ray continuum (`hard') time-lags and intrinsic coherence between the $2-4\,\mathrm{keV}$ and various energy bands in the $0.3-10\,\mathrm{keV}$ range, for ten X-ray bright and highly variable active galactic nuclei (AGN). We used all available archival \textit{XMM-Newton} data, and estimated the time-lags following Epitropakis \& Papadakis (2016). By performing extensive numerical simulations, we arrived at useful guidelines for computing intrinsic coherence estimates that are minimally biased, have known errors, and are (approximately) Gaussian distributed. Owing to the way we estimated the time-lags and intrinsic coherence, we were able to do a proper model fitting to the data. Regarding the continuum time-lags, we are able to demonstrate that they have a power-law dependence on frequency, with a slope of $-1$, and that their amplitude scales with the logarithm of the light-curve mean-energy ratio. We also find that their amplitude increases with the square root of the X-ray Eddington ratio. Regarding the intrinsic coherence, we found that it is approximately constant at low frequencies. It then decreases exponentially at frequencies higher than a characteristic `break frequency.' Both the low-frequency constant intrinsic-coherence value and the break frequency have a logarithmic dependence on the light-curve mean-energy ratio. Neither the low-frequency constant intrinsic-coherence value, nor the break frequency exhibit a universal scaling with either the central black hole mass, or the the X-ray Eddington ratio. Our results could constrain various theoretical models of AGN X-ray variability.

description: Slides voor een een les i.k.v. postgraduaat opleiding ‘Vorming van het Sociaal-Economisch Beleid’ (ISUA - UAntwerpen). Abstract: In deze les gaan we in op cijfers, recent onderzoek, en discussies over de inspraakkloof op werk: hoeveel inspraak willen werkenemers, en hoeveel inspraak hebben ze effectief? We beginnen met een bespreking van de verschillende dimensies van werknemersinspraak en economische democratie, met extra aandacht voor de verschillen tussen directe en representatieve inspraakvormen. De inspraakkloof illusteren we vervolgens voor de VS, Europa en België op basis van beschikbare enquêtegegevens en administratieve gegevens over de sociale verkiezingen. Vervolgens bespreken we een aantal gevolgen voor werknemers, organisaties en de samenleving van (een tekort aan) inspraak op het werk. We kaderen de uitdagingen voor indirecte, syndicale werknemersinspraak binnen drie trends: de daling van structurele werknemersmacht, de groei van het unitair managementdenken, en het verlies van inspraak doorheen de toename van werknemers in de ‘flexibele schil’ van organisaties. Tenslotte eindigen we met een aantal (geïllusteerde) discussiestellingen rond werknemersinspraak, economische democratie, en syndicale strategie in België.
Inexact Simplification of Symbolic Regression Expressions with Locality-sensitive Hashing

description: Symbolic regression (SR) searches for parametric models that accurately fit a dataset, prioritizing simplicity and interpretability. Despite this secondary objective, studies point out that the models are often overly complex due to redundant operations, introns, and bloat that arise during the iterative process, and can hinder the search with repeated exploration of bloated segments. Applying a fast heuristic algebraic simplification may not fully simplify the expression and exact methods can be infeasible depending on size or complexity of the expressions. We propose a novel agnostic simplification and bloat control for SR employing an efficient memoization with locality-sensitive hashing (LHS). The idea is that expressions and their sub-expressions traversed during the iterative simplification process are stored in a dictionary using LHS, enabling efficient retrieval of similar structures. We iterate through the expression, replacing subtrees with others of same hash if they result in a smaller expression. Empirical results shows that applying this simplification during evolution performs equal or better than without simplification in minimization of error, significantly reducing the number of nonlinear functions. This technique can learn simplification rules that work in general or for a specific problem, and improves convergence while reducing model complexity.

Moving memories: towards a cognitive ecology of the Māori haka
Creators: name: Mingon, McArthur Hēnare Robert
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The popular misconception that the Māori haka is just a ‘traditional war dance’ is connected with the way that it is commonly performed before sporting contests, for the analogous purpose of ‘intimidating the enemy’ and ‘energizing the performers’. However, this is just one of many ways in which haka have been used by Māori throughout time. This thesis explores these other uses and aspects of haka, and investigates how the coordination dynamics of haka can give rise to different modes of expression and experience. In the introductory chapter, I develop a platform from which to consider the affective, cognitive and epistemic functions of Māori Haka. The project is positioned in the current landscape of research on cultural systems in the cognitive sciences and against the background of epistemic niche construction. I introduce and discuss the theoretical framework of Cognitive Ecology, and related ideas in the area of embodied, extended and distributed cognition. I also provide an overview of the Māori cultural and historical context and begin to describe and explore haka, in terms of its origins and forms. In Chapter 2, Moving and Feeling Together, I explore the affective aspects of haka and consider how the practice can be fruitfully understood as a material resource and activity used by Māori to express, enhance and regulate emotional experience. I discuss empirical research that is helpful for understanding how the affective aspects of haka may foster and facilitate different forms of ‘emotional bonding’. Further, in conversation with distributed and situated approaches to emotions, I consider how the coordination dynamics of a haka performance contribute to the achievement of affective states and processes that would otherwise be unavailable In Chapter 3, Being Together, I consider how haka contributes to other forms of cognitive activity. The cognitive role of gestures is examined, along with the attentional, intentional and perceptual processes at play. I then examine how these processes are utilized to express, enhance and preserve tribal identity. I discuss the notion of ‘identity-fusion’ and suggest a way in which it may help us to better understand how Māori epistemology is embodied and enacted through the practice. In Chapter 4, Remembering Together, I examine the commemorative functionality of haka. In conversation with Edward Casey’s phenomenological account of commemoration, I unpack the formal and structural features of haka which contribute to its effectiveness as a commemorative practice, and further consider how this practice may contribute to intergenerational transmission. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis with a reflection on the account developed. I consider its limitations, along with opportunities for further development and investigation, and briefly discuss the current status of haka within contemporary Māori and New Zealand society.
An Extreme Rotating Black Hole in New Massive Gravity Theory

description: New Massive Gravity is an alternative theory to General Relativity that is used to describe the gravitational field in a (2+1)-dimensional spacetime. Black hole solutions have been found in this theory, in particular an asymptotically anti-de Sitter rotating black hole. We analyse some features of this solution as its event horizon, black hole area and distance to the horizon, specially in the rotating extreme case, showing that they have shared features with extreme black holes in 4-dimensional General relativity. This limit case is interesting in the search of geometric inequalities as the ones found for the Kerr black hole in (3+1)-General Relativity.
