description: Framed by Rhetorical and Relational Goals Theory, this investigation seeks to understand students’ perceptions of instructors’ motivational messages. College students completed an online questionnaire that asked them about a particular instructors’ use of motivational messages. Qualitative analysis revealed the following themes of instructors’ motivational messages: short, banal motivational messages; classroom ritual motivation; wellness messages; life lessons; personality-based motivation; messages connected to assignments; student-teacher relationship motivation; and, absence of motivational messages.

description: We develop a dynamic discrete choice model of a self-interested and unchecked ruler making decisions regarding the exploitation of a resource-rich country. This dictator makes the recursive choice between either investing domestically to live off the productivity of the country while facing the risk of being ousted, or looting the country’s riches by liquefying the resources and departing. We demonstrate that important parameters determining this choice include the level of resources, liquidity and indebtedness. We find that the dictator’s choice regarding the timing of departure is significantly related to external lending, investment and debt. We then argue that this looting phenomenon provides an explanation for the generation of corrupt economies in resource-rich countries. An empirical analysis of available corruption indices suggests that instability-led looting provides a more fundamental explanation of perceived corruption than do various social and cultural indicators or the economic theory of internal political competition.
CMB 3-point functions generated by non-linearities at recombination

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We study the 3-point functions generated at recombination in the squeezed triangle limit, when one mode has a wavelength much larger than the other two and is outside the horizon. The presence of the long wavelength mode cannot change the physics inside the horizon but modifies how a late time observer sees the anisotropies. The effect of the long wavelength mode can be divided into a redefinition of time and spatial scales, a Shapiro time delay and gravitational lensing. The separation is gauge dependent but helps develop intuition. We show that the resulting 3-point function corresponds to an f_NL < 1 and that its shape is different from that created by the f_NL (or local) model.

title: Roaming MitWelt: A Creative-Critical Inquiry into Ecopoetics and Ecotranslation
Creators: name: Kalinowski, Katharina Maria
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This creative writing thesis situates itself at a nexus between literary ecology and translation ecology to investigate contemporary ecopoetics in relation to processes of translation. Against the backdrop of a global climate emergency, ecopoetics, as a symbiosis of ecological thinking and innovative poiesis, seeks forms and expressions to engage with the ongoing destruction of an infnitely interconnected oikos. It thus participates in encounters at borders of human knowledge and perception, borders of the human skin, and borders of the human language that yet have to be explored in their translational capacities. Such an exploration is all the more called for in a controversially debated age of the Anthropocene, which is likewise dubbed an age of translation. To that end, ecopoetics is propelled as an interdisciplinary, creative-critical edge. Self-composed poems are intertwined with theoretical considerations to navigate an attentive ecopoet(h)ics, resistant to categories, open to indeterminacy, and dedicated to weaving connections between textual and extra-textual ecologies, on and off the page. Correspondingly, translation is outlined as a creative connection-making process, expanding an interlingual framework and articulating a relational motion that necessarily entails transformation. In their shared interest in generating meeting spaces with the foreign and the unknown, translation and ecopoet(h)ics amalgamate to ecotranslation: a concept that frames its boundary compositions; a lens that magnifies power dynamics and cross-cultural layers; a relational writing practice that attends to more-than- human languages of the Mitwelt from a position of mutual entanglement. In dialogue with reflections on my practice, readings of Cecilia Vicuña, Juliana Spahr, Les Murray, Jody Gladding, and Rita Wong substantiate these moves. Discussions of Sarah Kirsch and German ecopoetry further contribute to a German-English ecopoetic conversation, in which my own writing equally finds itself. The thesis therefore contributes to ecopoetics as a radical boundary node and translation as an experimental writing praxis. In their multiple unfolded facets, poethically reconfigured ecotranslations light up critical and imaginative interactions with a vulnerable physical-material multiverse that ultimately wager on translation as tangible action.

description: To compare clinical features, complications, and outcomes of CMV retinitis in non-HIV immunocompromised patients with HIV infected patients. A retrospective study of patients diagnosed with CMV retinitis with or without HIV infection was performed. Results: Thirty-five eyes from 27 patients (median follow up 26 months) were included. Six patients had HIV infection, the others were immunocompromised from a range of causes. The baseline visual acuity (VA) was similar in the two groups. Prevalence of different types of retinitis (fulminant/indolent) was similar in the two groups. Presence of vitreous haze ≥1+ (p = .041), presence of arteritis, (p = .016) and widespread vascular occlusion (p = .003) were more common in the non-HIV group. CMV retinitis can present with different features depending on the cause of immunocompromise. Evidence of intraocular inflammation such as vitritis, retinal arteritis, and vascular occlusions was more common in HIV-negative subjects.

A short laser pulse excites a charged exciton, whose quantum properties are transferred through tunneling and relaxation to the spin entanglement between electrons in the dot and contact. We identify the pertinent disentanglement mechanisms, and discuss experimental detection and possible application schemes.

 Caribaetis alcarrazae; Kluge and Novikova 2014:232.
 Holotype. Male imago, Province Santiago de Cuba, La Alcarraza (Guamá), 4-II-1989, N. Kluge.
 Caribaetis alcarazzae was described by Kluge (1992a) from La Alcarraza in the Sierra Maestra. It is distinguished by its highly contrasting color pattern with abdominal terga 2 and 6–7 very dark on a pale background, as compared with C. planifrons where markings occur on a yellowish background.
 Ecology. Another 18 nymphs have been reported by Rodríguez and Pérez (1998) from the Río Jibacoa, but comparison of a nymph from the type locality with these specimens would indicate that the Río Jibacoa material may belong to Caribaetis planifrons and not to C. alcarrazae (González-Lazo personal communication). Considering this and the report of Cañizares (1998), the species is considered rare in Cuba.
Nymphs have been collected in the months of November through January. Kluge (1992a) reported the species in February.
 Geographic distribution. Formerly limited to La Alcarraza in the Sierra Maestra in the Eastern Region, we recently determined a nymph from the Río Mayarí with the label “03-II-01 cols. Andana y Fonseca” which expands the distribution to the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa Massif, also in the Eastern Region (Fig. 4).

description: Recent stellar evolution models for globular clusters (GCs) in multiple population paradigm suggest that horizontal-branch (HB) morphology and mean period of type ab RR Lyrae variables are mostly determined by He & CNO abundances and relative ages for subpopulations. These parameters are also provided by chemical evolution models constructed to reproduce the Na-O anti-correlation. Therefore, a consistency check is possible between the synthetic HB and chemical evolution models. Furthermore, by combining them, a better constraint might be attained for star formation history and chemical abundances of subpopulations in GCs. We find, from such efforts made for four GCs, M4, M5, M15, and M80, that consistent results can be obtained from these two independent studies. In our unified model, He and Na abundances gradually increase over the generation, and therefore, the various extensions observed in both HB morphology and Na-O chemical pattern depend on the presence of later generation stars after the second generation. It is schematically shown that this observed diversity, however, would not be naturally explained by the models requiring dilution. Further spectroscopic observations are required, for metal-poor GCs in particular, to obtain a more detailed constraint from this approach.

description: Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to limit global warming to below 2°C. Due to persistent reliance on fossil fuels, it is posited that transport is more difficult to decarbonize than other sectors. We test this hypothesis by comparing long-term transport energy demand and emission projections for China, USA and the World from five large-scale energy-economy models with respect to three climate policies. We systematically analyze mitigation levers along the chain of causality from mobility to emissions, and discuss structural differences between mitigation in transport and non-transport sectors. We can confirm the hypothesis that transport is difficult to decarbonize with purely monetary signals when looking at the period before 2070. In the long run, however, the three global models achieve deep transport emission reductions by >90% through the use of advanced vehicle technologies and carbon-free primary energy; especially biomass with CCS plays a crucial role. Compared to the global models, the two partial-equilibrium models are relatively inflexible in their reaction to climate policies. Across all models, transportation mitigation lags behind non-transport mitigation by 10-30 years. The extent to which earlier mitigation is possible strongly depends on implemented technologies and model structure.

description: The Dushnik-Miller dimension of a partially-ordered set $P$ is the smallest $d$ such that one can embed $P$ into a product of $d$ linear orders. We prove that the dimension of the divisibility order on the interval $\{1, \dotsc, n\}$, is equal to ${(\log n)^2}(\log\log n)^{-Θ(1)}$ as $n$ goes to infinity. We prove similar bounds for the $2$-dimension of divisibility in $\{1, \dotsc, n\}$, where the $2$-dimension of a poset $P$ is the smallest $d$ such that $P$ is isomorphic to a suborder of the subset lattice of $[d]$. We also prove an upper bound for the $2$-dimension of posets of bounded degree and show that the $2$-dimension of the divisibility poset on the set $(αn, n]$ is $Θ_α(\log n)$ for $α\in (0,1)$. At the end we pose several problems.

description: To analyze changes in concentrations of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, or metalloproteinases (MMP) in the aqueous humor (AH) in Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS) patients with (FUSwG) or without (FUSwoG) secondary glaucoma. AH samples were collected from 43 eyes of Caucasian subjects (FUSwoG: n = 11; FUSwG: n = 8; control eyes: n = 24). Concentrations of IL-8, MCP-1, MMP-1,-2,-3,-9, SAA, TGFß-1,-2,-3, and TNF-α were measured by multiplex bead assay analysis. Compared with the control group, levels of IL-8, MCP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in the AH were significantly increased in FUSwG and FUSwoG patients. In contrast to FUSwoG patients, MCP-1 and MMP-9 level were lower in FUSwG, while expression of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TGFβ-1 was increased. In our experiments, glaucoma in FUS patients was associated with low levels of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in the AH, while expression of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TGFβ-1 increased. The alteration in these molecular patterns may contribute to the development of glaucoma in FUS.

description: The impact of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) on the environment and human well-being has reached a critical point. Instances of environmental degradation caused by these corporations have led to severe violations of human rights, resulting in complex challenges. Despite numerous cases brought to light through legal battles and media coverage, existing international and domestic regulatory frameworks have struggled to comprehensively address the extensive harm caused by MNCs. Regulations attempting to manage the damage caused by these entities are insufficient and inconsistently enforced globally. The absence of a binding universal treaty specifically designed to tackle these interconnected ecological and human rights issues has made seeking justice for victims an arduous task. Victims are forced to navigate complex international instruments, often encountering corruption within judicial and political systems, hindering their pursuit of redress for serious rights violations. In light of these shortcomings, this discussion underscores the intrinsic link between human rights and the environment, emphasizing the limitations of current regulatory measures. By examining global literature, international legal sources, and specific national case studies, this thesis aims to demonstrate the inadequacy of existing regulations in protecting and addressing the victims of environmental harm. Additionally, it will propose alternative remedies and preventive measures to rectify these transgressions. The conclusions will provide for why a binding treaty tailored to address these intertwined concerns stands as a possible solution toward protecting both the environment and human rights.

description: Implementing an effective climate policy is one of the main challenges for our future. Even though ambitious mitigation targets are necessarily costly, curbing GHG emissions can prevent future irreversible impacts of climate change on human kind and the environment. Climate policy is therefore crucial for present and future generations. Nonetheless, one may wonder whether the economic and social dimensions of future global development could be harmed by climate policy. This paper addresses this question by examining some recent developments in international climate policy and considering different levels of cooperation that may arise in light of the outcomes of the Conference of the Parties recently held in Doha. Then it explores whether the implementation of various climate policy scenarios would help enhancing sustainability or rather whether there is a trade-off between climate policy and economic development and/or social cohesion. This is done by using a new comprehensive indicator, the FEEM Sustainability Index (FEEM SI), which aggregates several economic, social, and environmental indicators. The FEEM SI index is built into a recursive-dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of the world economy, thus offering the possibility of projecting all indicators into the future, and therefore delivering a perspective assessment of sustainability under different future climate policy scenarios. We find that the environmental component of sustainability improves at the regional and world level thanks to the GHG emission reductions achieved through climate policy. However, the economic and social components are affected negatively yet marginally. Hence, overall sustainability increases in all scenarios. If the USA, Canada, Japan and Russia would not contribute to mitigating future GHG emissions, as envisioned in one of our scenarios, sustainability in these countries would decrease and the overall effectiveness of climate policy in enhancing global sustainability would be offset.

description: The relativistic mean-field plus RPA calculations, based on effective Lagrangians with density-dependent meson-nucleon vertex functions, are employed in a microscopic analysis of the nuclear matter compressibility and symmetry energy. We compute the isoscalar monopole and the isovector dipole response of $^{208}$Pb, as well as the differences between the neutron and proton radii for $^{208}$Pb and several Sn isotopes. The comparison of the calculated excitation energies with the experimental data on the giant monopole resonance in $^{208}$Pb, restricts the nuclear matter compression modulus of structure models based on the relativistic mean-field approximation to $K_{\rm nm}\approx 250 - 270$ MeV. The isovector giant dipole resonance in $^{208}$Pb, and the available data on differences between neutron and proton radii, limit the range of the nuclear matter symmetry energy at saturation (volume asymmetry) to 32 MeV $\leq a_4 \leq$ 36 MeV.

description: The resonant formation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is studied. These modes represent nonground-state Bose condensates. The methods of describing the spectrum of the nonlinear modes are discussed. The latter can be created by modulating the trapping potential with a frequency tuned close to the transition frequency between the two chosen modes. The requirement that the transition amplitudes be smaller than the transition frequency implies a constraint on the number of particles that can be transferred to an excited mode. The resonant Bose condensate serves as a collective analog of a single resonant atom. Such a condensate, displaying the coherent resonance, possesses several interesting features, among which are: mode locking, critical dynamics, interference patterns, interference current, atomic squeezing, and multiparticle entanglement.

description: The tension between the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ determined from local supernovae data and the one inferred from the cosmic microwave background based on the $Λ$CDM cosmological model may indicate the need for new physics. Here, we show that this `Hubble tension' can be resolved in models involving an effective energy flux from the matter sector into dark energy resulting naturally from a combination of unimodular gravity and an energy diffusion process. The scheme is one where dark energy has the standard equation of state $w=-1$. This proposal provides an alternative phenomenological paradigm accounting for the observations, while offering a general framework to study diffusion effects coming from novel fundamental physical processes.

description: The ground-state energy, the addition energies and the optical absorption spectra are derived for interacting polarons in parabolic quantum dots in three and two dimensions. A path integral formalism for identical particles is used in order to take into account the fermion statistics. The approach is applied to both closed-shell and open-shell systems of interacting polarons. Using a generalization of the Jensen-Feynman variational principle, the ground-state energy of a confined N-polaron system is analyzed as a function of N and of the electron-phonon coupling constant. As distinct from the few-electron systems without the electron-phonon interaction, three types of spin polarization are possible for the ground state of the few-polaron systems: (i) a spin-polarized state, (ii) a state where the spin is determined by Hund's rule, (iii) a state with the minimal possible spin. A transition from a state fulfilling Hund's rule, to a spin-polarized state occurs when decreasing the electron density. In the strong-coupling limit, the system of interacting polarons turns into a state with the minimal possible spin. These transitions should be experimentally observable in the optical absorption spectra of quantum dots.

description: Purpose: To analyze changes in concentrations of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, or metalloproteinases (MMP) in the aqueous humor (AH) in Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS) patients with (FUSwG) or without (FUSwoG) secondary glaucoma. Methods: AH samples were collected from 43 eyes of Caucasian subjects (FUSwoG: n = 11; FUSwG: n = 8; control eyes: n = 24). Concentrations of IL-8, MCP-1, MMP-1,-2,-3,-9, SAA, TGFß-1,-2,-3, and TNF-α were measured by multiplex bead assay analysis. Results: Compared with the control group, levels of IL-8, MCP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in the AH were significantly increased in FUSwG and FUSwoG patients. In contrast to FUSwoG patients, MCP-1 and MMP-9 level were lower in FUSwG, while expression of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TGFβ-1 was increased. Conclusion: In our experiments, glaucoma in FUS patients was associated with low levels of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in the AH, while expression of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TGFβ-1 increased. The alteration in these molecular patterns may contribute to the development of glaucoma in FUS.

description: The addition of suitable volume forces to the Navier-Stokes equation allows to simulate flows in the presence of a homogeneous shear. Because of the explicit form of the driving the flows are accessible to rigorous mathematical treatment and to accurate quantitative modelling in their global properties. The statistics of the fluctuations provide insight into generic behaviour of non-equilibrium systems and into the presistence of anisotropies at small scales. Correlation functions can be used to identify dominant large scale dynamical processes that are relevant for most of the momentum transport across the shear. The numerical studies of homogeneous shear flows complement analytical and experimental investigations and contribute to bridging the gap between ideal homogeneous isotropic turbulence and the more realistic heterogeneous turbulence.

description: We consider a robust control model for a spatially distributed commercial fishery under uncertainty, and in particular a tracking problem, i.e. the problem of robust stabilization of a chosen deterministic benchmark state in the presence of model uncertainty. The problem is expressed in the form of a stochastic linear quadratic robust optimal control problem, which is solved analytically. We focus on the emergence of breakdown from the robust stabilization policy, called hot spots, and comment upon their significance concerning the spatiotemporal behaviour of the system.

description: Models of stellar structure and evolution are an indispensable tool in astrophysics, yet they are known to incorrectly reproduce the outer convective layers of stars. In the first paper of this series, we presented a novel procedure to include the mean structure of 3D hydrodynamical simulations on-the-fly in stellar models, and found it to significantly improve the outer stratification and oscillation frequencies of a standard solar model. In the present work, we extend the analysis of the method; specifically how the transition point between envelope and interior affects the models. We confirm the versatility of our method by successfully repeating the entire procedure for a different grid of 3D hydro-simulations. Furthermore, the applicability of the procedure was investigated across the HR diagram and an accuracy comparable to the solar case was found. Moreover, we explored the implications on stellar evolution and find that the red-giant branch is shifted about 40 K to higher effective temperatures. Finally, we present for the first time an asteroseismic analysis based on stellar models fully utilising the stratification of 3D simulations on-the-fly. These new models significantly reduce the asteroseismic surface term for the two selected stars in the Kepler field. We extend the analysis to red giants and characterise the shape of the surface effect in this regime. Lastly, we stress that the interpolation required by our method would benefit from new 3D simulations, resulting in a finer sampling of the grid.
