title: Gender roles and symbolic systems on an Aegean island.
Creators: name: Dimitriou, Sibylla
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1988

description: This thesis is based on fieldwork on the Greek island of Fourni in the Aegean, in which the main focus was women's position in social organization and in symbolic systems. After a general description of the island (history, politics, economy, social stratification), the thesis deals with three major topics: gender roles, the idiom of honour and shame, and women in religion and magic.;1. Women's economic roles and the constraints on their involvement imposed by their reproductive roles are considered. In the realm of kinship, the most intriguing feature is matrifocality. Similarly, domestic organization is matrifocal, which has significant implications for male-female power dynamics in the domestic domain. Ideological aspects of gender roles are also considered, and the antagonism inherent in the relation between the sexes and their conceptualisation of each other. Women in Fourni are by no means restricted within the domestic domain; they have important roles in the structuring of social relations that make for community cohesion and social reproduction; kinship networks, friendship between families, local trade contacts, public service transactions.;2. The Fourni material on honour and shame is very different from what has been reported from elsewhere in the Mediterranean, and questions Mediterraneanists' assumptions of cultural unity in the moral code. There is great cultural emphasis on sex, which constitutes a major topic of discussion between the sexes in everyday life and on ritual Occasions. The concept of honour is not confined to males, and the concept of shame is not confined to females. Differences in the constraints on sexual virtue and in the moral code between men and women are slight. There is a high incidence of adultery, women play a major role in resolving violations of the code and are viewed as the guardians of their own sexual virtue.;3. To discuss the Greek Orthodox religion I make use of the distinctions between Great and Little Traditions; elements of both traditions are described, as is the realm of magic, in enough detail to provide a map on which women's role and involvement can be discussed. It is not the universalistic features of the Great Tradition but the particularistic features of the Little Tradition that have been elaborated in the community and are the focus of symbolic conceptualizations of Fourni social relations, but the symbolic structures of the Little Tradition do not reveal much differentiation between male and female. The sexual division of labour in religion seems to follow the division of practical labour. It is suggested that women's greater involvement in religion and magic than men is an extension of their greater involvement in social organization, social reproduction, and the maintenance of social cohesion.

description: Blendung durch Fahrzeugscheinwerfer im Straßenverkehr ist eine Thematik, die immer wieder in der Kfz-Lichttechnik diskutiert wird. Derzeit steht vor allem die Blendung durch moderne LED-Scheinwerfer im Fokus. Aktuelle Umfragen zeigen, dass zahlreiche Verkehrsteilnehmer von entgegenkommenden Fahrzeugen mit LEDScheinwerfern sowohl physiologisch als auch psychologisch geblendet werden. Insofern ist es die Aufgabe der heutigen Blendungsforschung Lösungsansätze zur Reduzierung von Blendung durch LED-Scheinwerferlicht zu finden. Während es zur physiologischen Blendung bereits zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen gibt, die dazu beitragen können, ist die psychologische Blendung weitaus weniger erforscht. Daher wurde im Rahmen einer Probandenstudie die psychologische Blendung durch LED-Licht bei verschiedenen Leuchtdichteniveaus im Labor an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt in einem Forschungsprojekt mit der BASt untersucht. Im Rahmen der Studie haben 21 Testpersonen 13 verschiedene Leuchtdichteniveaus bis zu 17.000 cd/m² bei einer Hintergrundleuchtdichte von 0,35 cd/m² auf der 9-stufigen De Boer-Skala hinsichtlich der subjektiv empfundenen psychologischen Blendung bewertet. Die Bewertung erfolgte für mehrere Wiederholungen und unterschiedliche Größen der leuchtenden Fläche. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die psychologische Blendung bei einer Leuchtdichte im Bereich von 1.900 cd/m² und 3.720 cd/m² – abhängig von der Größe der Blendlichtquelle – für 50 % der Befragten gerade noch akzeptabel ist, was einem De Boer-Wer von 5 entspricht. Diese Erkenntnis liefert einen Ausgangspunkt für weitere Untersuchungen zu psychologischer Blendung.

description: Siinse uurimuse eesmärk on terrorismi lahtimõtestamine eelkõige ühiskonna hirmutamise teguri kaudu. Samuti on eesmärk vaadelda aastatel 1991–2018 mõningaid Eestis aset leidnud juhtumeid terrorismi mõiste laiema vaatenurga kaudu. Uurimuses on välja toodud 15 Eesti või Eesti elanikega seotud juhtumit, mis terrorismi laiemas käsitluses võiks vasta selle definitsioonile. Kui 1990. aastate juhtumid olid enamasti soetud pommi plahvatuste korraldamisega (nt Interrinde korraldatud plahvatused, plahvatused Narva Eesti gümnaasiumis ja Tallinnas Pae tänaval), mis peegeldas mingil määra tolle ajastu kuritegevuse viise, siis 2000. aastate juhtumid on peamiselt seotud eestlaste tegevusega välisriikides (nt Somaalia laeva kaaperdamised, välisvõitlejad Süürias ja Ukrainas).

title: Anglo-French relations with Siam, 1876-1904.
Creators: name: Murti, B. S. N.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1952

description: In my thesis an attempt is made to describe Anglo-Prench relations with Siam between I876 and 1904. Chapter I traces and assesses the respective influences of various factors in the formation and conduct of Siamese foreign affairs. Then follows an account of Anglo-Siamese relations in the Malay Peninsula with special reference to the problem of the Perak-Raman boundary; the Secret Malay Convention of 1897 and negotiations concerning Kelantan and Trengganu. A detailed discussion of the various attempts to settle the claims of Siam and several Shan States to territory on both banks of the Salween forms Chapter III. The French claim to all the territory east of the Mekong and their action in driving the Siamese from that river's left bank are critically examined in Chapter IV. In Chapter V the French blockade of Bangkok is described and especially the complications which arose between the English and French owing to the presence of British warships in Siamese territorial waters; the chapter concludes with an account of the 1893 Franco- Siamese Treaty. The problems resulting from the Treaty, the 25 km. zone, the registration of French protefges in Siam and the difficulties concerning the territory of Luang Prabang on the right bank of the Mekong are discussed in the first part of the seventh chapter. The second half of Chapter VII and Chapter VI are devoted to relevant Anglo-French relations and negotiations for the neutralisation of Siam and the unsuccessful attempt to constitute a buffer state between their respective possessions in Indo-China. The Mongsing affair and the final agreement between England and Prance in I896 to guarantee the indeperdence and integrity of the Menam Valley are discussed at length. The study is concluded with an account of the negotiations which preceded the Entente Cordiale of 1904. with special reference to the clauses relating to Siam. A final special chapter is devoted to an attempt to trace the origin, development and final abandonment of the extraterritorial jurisdiction over special groups of foreigners in Siam, resulting in the emergence of this country as a completely independent sovereign state.

description: Automated and high-throughput quantum chemical investigations into chemical processes have become feasible in great detail and broad scope. This results in an increase in complexity of the tasks and in the amount of generated data. An efficient and intuitive way for an operator to interact with these data and to steer virtual experiments is required. Here, we introduce Heron, a graphical user interface that allows for advanced human-machine interactions with quantum chemical exploration campaigns into molecular structure and reactivity. Heron offers access to interactive and automated explorations of chemical reactions with standard electronic structure modules, haptic force feedback, microkinetic modeling, and refinement of data by automated correlated calculations including black-box complete active space calculations. It is tailored to the exploration and analysis of vast chemical reaction networks. We show how interoperable modules enable advanced workflows and pave the way for routine low-entrance-barrier access to advanced modeling techniques.

title: A critical edition of the first volume of "Al-Musnad min Masa'il Abi Abd Allah Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hanbal".
Creators: name: Ahmed, Ziauddin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1966

description: The thesis presents a critical edition of the first volume of Abu Bakr al-Khallal's "K. al-Musnad min Masa'il Ahmad b. Hanbal" accompanied by an introduction. In this work, the author collected in great detail the teachings and opinions of Imam Ibn Hanbal on religio-political and dogmatic controversies of early Islam, which the Imam left with a great number of disciples. Supported by the Qur'an and the Sunna, the work depicts in great detail the Sunni viewpoints of the problems relating to the institution of Khilafa, the first five Caliphs, the Companions in general, the Khawarij, the Rawafid, the Murji'a, Iman and Islam, Jabr and Qadar, the Jahmiya and the doctrine of the Creation of the Qur'an. Although the work is named as al-Musnad min Masa'il Ahmad, this is actually the K. al-Sunna of of al-Khallal frequently quoted by Ibn Taimiya and Ibn al-Qayyim in their theological works. The work contains, besides those ascribed to Ibn Hanbal, many statements from other doctors as well. As the MS. is unique, the text has been collated with other sources so far it has been possible, instead of other MSS. of the same work. In the glossary, besides indicating variations and mistakes, notes on important points have been provided. The introduction consists of six parts. In part I, a detailed discussion on the MS. has been made. Parts II and III deal with the life and works of Ibn Hanbal and al-Khallal respectively. In part IV, the background of the present work has been explained in which the development of early Islamic theology is discussed. Part V deals with the work itself, wherein Ibn Hanbal's opinions are discussed in relation to the theological problems of the time as well as to other relevant questions. Finally, the impact of Hanbalism on later development of Muslim theology and the value of our work are discussed.

title: A study of Abu Ubaida Ma'mar Ibn al-Muthanna as a philologist and transmitter of literary material.
Creators: name: Hillawi, Nasir
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1966

description: Introduction; A short notice on the foundation of Basra and its cultural milieu is followed by a discussion of the most important representatives of the literary life there, and a survey of works by modern European and Arab scholars on Basran literary figures, A section on the importance of Abu 'Ubaida and the sources upon which the study is based concludes the introduction. The thesis is divided into five parts; Part One; This consists of three chapters (I, II & III), the first dealing with Abu 'Ubaida's life, the second with his socio-religious views. In this chapter I discuss in detail the so-called Shu'ubite and Kharijite leanings of Abu 'Ubaida. Chapter III deals with Abu 'Ubaida's output, in the form of an introduction followed by a list of his books. Part Two: This consists of two chapters (IV & V), In chapter IV I deal with Abu 'Ubaida's poetical transmissions, and discuss in detail the diwans and anthologies which he has transmitted. In the following chapter I deal with Abu 'Ubaida's method of transmission, in connection with which the various problems of authenticity are discussed. The last part of this chapter deals with Abu 'Ubaida's opinions on poetry and poets. Part Three: This consists of two chapters (VI & VII). This part is in the main devoted to study Abu 'Ubaida's attitudes towards language, and his standing as a philologist. In the first chapter of this part (Ch. VI) I discuss Abu 'Ubaida's opinion of language and its nature, and then deal with Abu 'Ubaida as a lexicographer and grammarian. The following chapter deals with him as a collector of dialect material, Part Four: This consists of one chapter, in which I study the Kitab al-Majaz. The first part of this chapter gives a short introduction to Quranic studies followed by an examination of the nature of the book under consideration, and a discussion of opinions, ancient and modern, about it. The concept of majaz, and its various kinds in the works of Abu 'Ubaida are discussed. There then follows a study of Abu 'Ubaida's methods in dealing with the Quranic modes of expression. Part Five: This consists of two chapters (IX & X). Chapter IX gives an introduction to Abu 'Ubaida's historical writings, and a thorough examination of the Ayyam al-'Arab, their transmission, contents, and historical importance. The final chapter deals with the diction, style and language of the Ayyam. The thesis is appended with an unpublished work by Abu 'Ubaida called Tasmiyat Azwaj al-Nabi, and specimens from Ayyam al-'Arab and Sirat 'Antara.

title: Development of mosque architecture with special reference to pre-Mughal Bengal.
Creators: name: Mahmud al-Hasan, Syed
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1965

description: This thesis aims essentially at an investigation of the origins and developments of mosque architecture in the region of Bengal in pre-Mughal times (that is, for these purposes, to A.D. 1538); but, since the study of a limited aspect of a pan-Islamic manifestation may in itself be sterile, an attempt has been made to integrate the Islamic Bengali microcosm into the macrocosm of the mediaeval Islamic world. Firstly, therefore, the growth of religious architecture is related to its humanistic background, especially that of the development of Islam with its political and social implications increasing in importance while Islam as a religious system gathered increasing momentum. The mosque itself is then studied in various aspects: the architectural origins of the mosque as a focal point of the religious life of the community are first investigated; and then the history of mosque architecture from the beginning to A.D. 1538 is analysed in general, but always with an eye to the particular manifestations of Bengal. Evidence for the etymologies which have been proposed for the term Masjid are collected and discussed in extenso; but, to preserve the continuity of the major arguments of the thesis, this material has been relegated to an appendix. The mosque architecture of Bengal is then discussed in detail. All previous work on the subject is examined and criticized, and the errors and misapprehensions of some authors corrected and explained. The treatment of this material is at once broadly chronological and typological, and a viable classification (as exhibited in the Table of Contents) has been adopted throughout. Full use has been made of the rather confused epigraphical evidence. While Mughal architecture is not the direct concern of the thesis, an attempt has also been made to relate some characteristic aspects of Bengali building and their future employment in Mughal times. The decorative arts of the period have been considered in drawing conclusions; but the volume of evidence from this sphere is so great as to have made it necessary to exclude any detailed discussion in this thesis. Thus the thesis as a whole presents an ordered exposition of Bengali mosque architecture viewed in its wider context, which I submit as an original contribution to scholarly knowledge especially in the exercise of critical judgment over the whole field; in addition, some new evidence is here presented for the first time, which adds a further dimension to the validity of my criticism.

description: Community violence is a pervasive problem that disproportionately affects low-income families of color. Chronic exposure to violence impacts a person's social, emotional, and physical health and is often passed down through generations. The present study aimed to explore the ways in which the caregiver's trauma subsequently impacts their offspring's trauma history. Medical charts of 118 patients seen at the University of Chicago Medicine’s Recovery & Empowerment After Community Trauma (REACT) Clinic were utilized to determine the trauma histories of youth and their caregivers. The results indicated that the trauma histories of mothers are associated with the trauma histories of their offspring and that certain psychiatric diagnostic categories children are placed into are correlated to the mother’s trauma as well. Future research to create a more thorough understanding of the phenomenon of transgenerational trauma in underserved communities and populations is needed to best inform the clinical approaches of assisting patients with deep-rooted histories of trauma.
Mixed eigenstates in the Dicke model: Statistics and power-law decay of the relative proportion in the semiclassical limit

description: How the mixed eigenstates vary with approaching the semiclassical limit in mixed-type many-body quantum systems is an interesting but still less known question. Here, we address this question in the Dicke model, a celebrated many-body model that has a well defined semiclassical limit and undergoes a transition to chaos in both quantum and classical case. Using the Husimi function, we show that the eigenstates of the Dicke model with mixed-type classical phase space can be classified into different types. To quantitatively characterize the types of eigenstates, we study the phase space overlap index, which is defined in terms of Husimi function. We look at the probability distribution of the phase space overlap index and investigate how it changes with increasing system size, that is, when approaching the semiclassical limit. We show that increasing the system size gives rise to a power-law decay in the behavior of the relative proportion of mixed eigenstates. Our findings shed more light on the properties of eigenstates in mixed-type many-body systems and suggest that the principle of uniform semiclassical condensation of Husimi functions should also be valid for many-body quantum systems.

title: The theory and practice of the development of art forms in South Asia from their first appearance until the historic period.
Creators: name: Barreda Monge, Frederick Henry
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This work deals with a vast area of the Asian continent, India, as its frontiers have moved, across millenia. Beginning in very remote prehistory, in this region there developed a complex civilization whose concern with philosophical thought gave rise to very rich expression in the plastic arts. The following pages are thus an attempt to describe some of the principal features of a number of forms, over a long period of years. But only those forms which illustrate most clearly the evolution of the plastic arts are discussed in detail, others are merely mentioned in passing. This study begins with the first forms of expression in the art and thought of India, considering the influences of the environment on man, and deals with the first creations by man in prehistory. It discusses the tools (how materials and techniques developed), and early pictorial expressions in caves and rock-shelters (beginnings of composition). It is a study of form-in the civilization of the Indus Valley-in which materials, techniques and composition are analysed. The forms characteristic of this period, Harappan or "classic" art, are also to be seen in the periods before and afterwards. Outside influences at particular moments are also considered. The codification of form in the Harappan period foreshadows the canons of art of the historical periods to follow. Form may be understood through the analysis of archaeological discoveries. This work is concerned with the analysis of the aesthetic aspects of such archaeological discoveries, revealing forms Whose origins and evolution may be seen in the art of early India. There is included a collection of drawings, photographs and color slides.
title: A study of the literature of political persuasion in North Vietnam.
Creators: name: Nguyen, Duc Minh
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis is restricted to a study of political persuasion on the part of the Vietnamese Communists, It is further limited to a period of some ten years, from the political debut of the Viet Minh (1944-45) until their victory at Dien Bien Phu and triumphal return to Hanoi, towards the end of 1954. The aim of the research is to evaluate the elements essential to the success of Communist persuasion in North Viet Nam. To achieve this, it is necessary briefly to review the perennial struggle of the Vietnamese nation, which Communist agit-prop successfully exploited. Another background chapter describes the socio-political context of the early 1940's when the Viet Minh prepared their public appearance. Then, political persuasion is studied through Communist documents and publications, especially the numerous addresses and messages of Ho Chi Minh. These are related to the principal campaigns organised by the Communists in order to attract, inspire, and motivate the Vietnamese people to co-operate with them: the National Salvation organisations and the theme of Independence and Freedom; the Alliance policy and the theme of National Unity; the consolidation of national power amidst conflicts and the theme of coneiliation for future advance; the nation-wide war and the theme of certain victory; and the complex programme of national resistance and nation-building with the theme of "Peace and Democracy". The final chapter attempts to identify the principal elements which made possible the Viet Minh's success in persuading and mobilising the people to implement their political plans which finally led to the establishment of a socialist-communist regime. This study contributes a more comprehensive presentation of the Vietnamese literature of Communist persuasion than was previously available. It offers a tentative analysis of the method and techniques successfully applied by the Vietnamese Communists to the preparation, dissemination, and exploitation of the persuasive message in the achievement of their political aims. It is suggested that further researches and similar analysis concerning the post-Geneva period (from 1955-56 to 1973), which coincides with the American involvment in Viet Nam, will produce rewarding results and provide a highly interesting comparative study.
title: The genesis and early development of the novel in Thailand.
Creators: name: Senanan, Wibha
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: In spite of the fact that the novel, which is at the present time one of the dominant forms of prose fiction in Thailand, asserted itself as a new genre in Thai literature nearly half a century ago, no detailed study of its origin and development has been made. This thesis, therefore, is written as an attempt to provide such a study. Its scope has been limited to the early development of this new literary genre. This study was based chiefly on the material available in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and in the National Library in Bangkok, and personal communications with many writers, journalists and men of letters in Thailand. The thesis contains nine chapters, one table and one appendix.;Chapter one presents a brief general history of Thai literature with emphasis on the poetic tradition. Chapter two deals with the history and nature of prose works before the modern period. Chapter three is concerned with book production before and after the introduction of printing technology. Chapter four examines the role of journalism in relation to the development of modern prose fiction. Chapters five and six deal with the literary climate in which the novel proper was to emerge, with special reference to the development of the short story, imported literature derived from Western and Chinese fiction - appearing in books and films, and the proto-novel. An historical background of the works is included. Chapter seven discusses the nature of the first published novels of "Si Burapha", "Dokmai Sot" and Prince A-katdamkoeng. Chapter eight provides a general description of the reading public and examines the relationship between readers and writers of modem prose fiction, with special reference to Prince Phichit-prichakon and Prince A-katdamkoeng. Chapter nine is a conclusion in which the correlation between the developing novel and society is discussed. The table contains historical events significantly relevant to the development of the novel in Thailand. The appendix contains biographical sketches of Prince Phichitprichakon. Prince Bidyalankarana, King Vajiravudh, Prince A-kat-deunkoeng, "Dokmai Sot" and "Si Burapha".

description: This paper refines and extends the concept of self-transcendence, which Abraham Maslow proposed as the highest stage in his hierarchy of human needs. While Maslow introduced this idea toward the end of his career, the concept of self-transcendence remains underexplored both theoretically and practically.The study clarifies the psychological significance of self-transcendence as a developmental level beyond self-actualization, proposing a structured model—the Reversed Pyramid—to articulate its core characteristics. By reinforcing Maslow’s late-stage theory, this work aims to offer new perspectives on human psychological evolution, emphasizing the transition from ego-centered motivation toward altruistic and transpersonal consciousness.In addition to its psychological implications, this paper approaches self-transcendence as part of the broader process of consciousness evolution—a theme traditionally explored in the humanities. The study seeks to bridge psychological development with the universal pursuit of altruistic awareness and spiritual growth, offering practical models for individuals and societies striving for higher levels of being.Update: This is a refined version (V2.0) incorporating final textual and structural improvements for public release.

description:
In 2022, the Colombian government approved a law requiring by 2024 the use of Front of Package octagonal warning labels in food products with an excess of nutrients of concern for chronic disease, including sodium, sugar, saturated fat, and trans-fat, as well as non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). In addition, the government began 2023 by applying a 10% tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and foods that also had warning labels for sodium, sugar and saturated fat. This tax increased to 15% in 2024 and to $20% in 2025. While a previous study examined the changes in the nutritional composition of beverage and food products offered in Colombia between 2016 and 2018, it is necessary to update this information to understand whether the industry anticipated labeling and tax regulations by reformulating products. This study carried out a comparison of the content of selected nutrients of concern and non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) from the nutritional panels of 164 matched pairs of packaged foods and beverages from the top selling brands in Colombia in 2021 compared to 2016. McNemar’s test for paired data was used to evaluate changes in the proportion of each of the critical nutrients and NNS to be regulated. There were no significant changes in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, or free sugar in foods or beverages prior to policy implementation. However, there was a significant increase in the presence of NNS in beverages, during this pre-policy period from 32 to 59%. These findings suggest that changes in nutrient composition of packaged foods and beverages had been marginal before the implementation of the tax and warning labeling laws.

title: A political history of the Songea Ngoni from the mid-nineteenth century to the rise of the Tanganyika African National Union.
Creators: name: Redmond, Patrick M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: This thesis is a study of autocratic rule among the Ngoni of Songea district, Tanzania. Two royal families and their associates, with some hundreds of followers, immigrated into Songea in the mid-nineteenth century and there built two large and powerful states over which they ruled until 1962. Though rank and privilege distinguished the immigrants from their East African adherents, the two accepted and followed a common life style for their mutual benefit. The leaders were factious Sind, within thirty years, had produced some major divisions within the states as members of the royal families and some of the more important military leaders moved towards isolated independence. The Germans entered at this point and, taking advantage of disunity, gained the submission of the Ngoni. The changes brought by submission led to a rebellion in 1905 which failed, due to various factors including political division. The leaders then adapted to colonial life and consolidated a new type of control. British takeover and the subsequent implementation of Indirect Rule facilitated the consolidation of autocratic contirol through its support of traditional leaders. This power began ebbing during the 1940s and 1950s under the impact of changes pushed by colonial administration, though only after Tanzanian independence is it removed completely and the rule of the royal faimilies brought to an end.
