Delayed Justice: The International Criminal Court and Pre-Trial Stagnation

Year: 2020

description: 
Since the International Criminal Court (ICC) opened in 2002, only ten of the twenty-seven cases have resulted in trial. This thesis examines why some cases progress to the trial stage, and others remain in pre-trial or are dropped. Through quantitative analysis, I examine the impact of external influences, target state cooperation, and societal support for victims and witnesses on trial progression. Findings show neighbor state commitment to human rights, commitment to the Court expressed by ratification of the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the ICC, status of the defendant as an enemy to target state regime, and self-referral by the target state are significant indicators of trial outcome. Ultimately, self-referral of situations to the ICC predicts if a case will move to trial. Self-referred situations indicate state cooperation and thus illustrate the necessary components to a productive investigation and pre-trial stage. While referral is the strongest predictor of trial outcome, the relationship of neighbor states to human rights, ratification of agreements to strengthen the Court’s jurisdiction, and the relationship of the defendant to the regime, contribute to the narrative of cases and are also significant indicators of trial outcome. This study emphasizes the impact target state cooperation on the Court’s ability to prosecute alleged perpetrators of atrocity crimes. The results suggest the Court’s success likely depends on state cooperation in the process of justice to achieve the goals outlined in its mandate to seek justice for the past and create a more peaceful future.

title: Taxonomic and functional interpretation of associated cercopithecoid carpal bones (KB 5378) from Kromdraai B, South Africa
Creators: name: Rose, Madison
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: A partial carpus belonging to a large, South African Pliocene cercopithecoid was excavated from Kromdraai B (Gauteng, South Africa) between 1977 and 1981 alongside associated, late juvenile metacarpals 1-5 and several manual phalanges (KB 5378). Included in the KB 5378 carpus is a partial scaphoid, lunate, os centrale, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. Here I describe each carpal quantitatively and qualitatively in comparison to a sample of extant anthropoid primates to gain an understanding of both functional morphology and taxonomy of the KB 5378 fossils. Overall, the carpal morphology reflects that of a generalized quadruped with potential specializations for terrestrial, digitigrade locomotion. The absolute size of the carpus and metacarpals indicate that they are likely from the same individual but are more similar in size to that of Papio or Parapapio rather than the larger Gorgopithecus major, as previously suggested.

description: Recent studies have shown that starburst dwarf galaxies have steeply rising rotation curves in their inner parts, pointing to a close link between the intense star formation and a centrally concentrated mass distribution (baryons and dark matter). More quiescent dwarf irregulars typically have slowly rising rotation curves, although some "compact" irregulars with steep, inner rotation curves exist. We analyze archival Hubble Space Telescope images of two nearby "compact" irregular galaxies (NGC 4190 and NGC 5204), which were selected solely on the basis of their dynamical properties and their proximity. We derive their recent star-formation histories by fitting color-magnitude diagrams of resolved stellar populations, and find that the star-formation properties of both galaxies are consistent with those of known starburst dwarfs. Despite the small sample, this strongly reinforces the notion that the starburst activity is closely related to the inner shape of the potential well.

description: Diatom community composition has an important influence on global oceans and ecological processes. Developing accurate and efficient methods for characterizing diatom taxonomy under different environmental conditions is critical to understanding the implications of changes in the diatom community. Two developing methods for identifying and enumerating diatoms, cell imaging and molecular sequencing, are experiencing recent rapid advancements. This project aims to compare diatom taxonomic composition results within natural assemblages derived from rapidly advancing methods, FlowCam imaging and 18S rDNA sequencing techniques with traditional light microscopy cell counting techniques. FlowCam imaging allows taxonomic identification via microscopy through semi-automated morphological characterization. Whereas, the molecular sequencing method used in this study is dependent on similarity of sequences obtained from the environment to those known sequences within a reference sequence database. Both methods were implemented in tandem along with traditional light microscopy cell counts to analyze phytoplankton samples collected throughout the California Upwelling Zone. Overall, our study provides a comparison across two rapidly evolving taxonomic approaches and a traditional approach used to determine plankton abundance and distributions in the ocean.
The Effect of Greenspace on Physical Activity and Social Cohesion in Baltimore, MD

Year: 2020

description: Given increasing trends in urbanization, there is an increasing need for sustainable city design solutions that will improve citizens’ health, well-being, and eﬃciency in highdensity environments. One large contributor to urban well-being is greenspace. Thus, this paper seeks to analyze the eﬀect of greenspace on physical activity rates and social cohesion in Baltimore, MD. Using Landsat 4-5 imagery, NDVI calculations were used to measure greenspace as the percentage of healthy vegetation within zip codes and census tracts. Repeated cross-sectional data at each geographic area is available in the Baltimore Ecosystem Study Telephone Survey from 1999 to 2011. As noted in Baltimore’s Sustainability Plan, the city of Baltimore intentionally targets increased greenspace for low-income, African-American, and minority residents, which means greenspace is nonrandom. The ﬁxed eﬀects model accounts for this endogeneity and is applied at each geographic level to control for unobserved neighborhood characteristics. The results ﬁnd a statistically signiﬁcant positive relationship between greenspace and social cohesion, but inconclusive results on the relationship between greenspace and physical activity.

description: We present a statistical study of prominence and filament eruptions observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Several properties are recorded for 904 events that were culled from the Heliophysics Event Knowledgebase (HEK) and incorporated into an online catalog for general use. These characteristics include the filament and eruption type, eruption symmetry and direction, apparent twisting and writhing motions, and the presence of vertical threads and coronal cavities. Associated flares and white-light coronal mass ejections (CME) are also recorded. Total rates are given for each property along with how they differ among filament types. We also examine the kinematics of 106 limb events to characterize the distinct slow- and fast-rise phases often exhibited by filament eruptions. The average fast-rise onset height, slow-rise duration, slow-rise velocity, maximum field-of-view (FOV) velocity, and maximum FOV acceleration are 83 Mm, 4.4 hours, 2.1 km/s, 106 km/s, and 111 m/s^2, respectively. All parameters exhibit lognormal probability distributions similar to that of CME speeds. A positive correlation between latitude and fast-rise onset height is found, which we attribute to a corresponding negative correlation in the average vertical magnetic field gradient, or decay index, estimated from potential field source surface (PFSS) extrapolations. We also find the decay index at the fast-rise onset point to be 1.1 on average, consistent with the critical instability threshold theorized for straight current channels. Finally, we explore relationships between the derived kinematics properties and apparent twisting motions. We find that events with evident twist have significantly faster CME speeds and significantly lower fast-rise onset heights, suggesting relationships between these values and flux rope helicity.

Lipidomic Markers of Preterm Birth: a Pilot Case-control Study
Creators: name: Cao Fang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Abstract 
Objective: 
Preterm birth (gestation age < 37 weeks) is a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity, affecting one in eight births annually. The etiology of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) remains unknown despite decades of efforts. Past research had identified lipids, e.g. lysophospholipids and prostaglandins, as a promising class of biomarkers for sPTB with their important roles in signaling, energy metabolism and muscle contractility. This study aims to use targeted and untargeted lipidomic profiling to further identify lipid biomarkers related to sPTB
Methods:  
A matched case-control cohort (n=42) adjusted for maternal ethnicity, age and infant gender was built. Amniotic fluid of second trimester were extracted for LC/MS analysis. Data were processed followed by Welch’s t-test (p<0.05) and Spearman correlation (R<-0.4, p<0.01) to screen for sPTB-related ion features, which were identified using a targeted and untargeted lipidomic pipeline.
Results:  
112 distinctive lipids were identified, suggesting systematic involvement of lipids in sPTB. Compared to controls, glycerophospholipids (e.g. phosphatidylethanolamine) and glycerides (e.g. triglycerides) had highest fold changes in sPTB cases. Bile acids, acylcarnitines and glycerophospholipids had highest negative correlation with gestational age (GA). Important lipids of signaling and uterine contractility also include eicosanoid and sphingolipids. Further studies are needed to validate the lipid-sPTB relationship.

An Empirical Analysis of the Effect of Unemployment Insurance on Occupational Mobility
Creators: name: Salwati, Nasiha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper assesses the effect of unemployment insurance (UI) generosity on occupational mobility. It is noted that this effect is theoretically ambiguous since UI offsets the cost of switching (which increases mobility), and enables workers to look for a job within the current occupation (which decreases mobility). Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, I analyze the relationship between UI generosity and the probability of switching occupations for unemployed individuals. I show that increasing UI benefit levels leads to a decrease in the probability of switching occupations, and provide further evidence that the effect is stronger during recessions and for individuals in low-wealth households.

description: Dark matter annihilations taking place in nearby subhalos could appear as gamma-ray sources without detectable counterparts at other wavelengths. In this study, we consider the collection of unassociated gamma-ray sources reported by the Fermi Collaboration in an effort to identify the most promising dark matter subhalo candidates. While we identify 24 bright, high-latitude, non-variable sources with spectra that are consistent with being generated by the annihilations of ~20-70 GeV dark matter particles (assuming annihilations to $b\bar{b}$), it is not possible at this time to distinguish these sources from radio-faint gamma-ray pulsars. Deeper multi-wavelength observations will be essential to clarify the nature of these sources. It is notable that we do not find any such sources that are well fit by dark matter particles heavier than ~100 GeV. We also study the angular distribution of the gamma-rays from this set of subhalo candidates, and find that the source 3FGL J2212.5+0703 prefers a spatially extended profile (of width ~0.15$^{\circ}$) over that of a point source, with a significance of 4.2$σ$ (3.6$σ$ after trials factor). Although not yet definitive, this bright and high-latitude gamma-ray source is well fit as a nearby subhalo of $m_χ \simeq$ 20-50 GeV dark matter particles (annihilating to $b\bar{b}$) and merits further multi-wavelength investigation. Based on the subhalo distribution predicted by numerical simulations, we derive constraints on the dark matter annihilation cross section that are competitive to those resulting from gamma-ray observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the Galactic Center, and the extragalactic gamma-ray background.

Incorporating High School Recruiting Ratings and Statistics in Predictive Models for Collegiate Basketball Success
Creators: name: Henson, Theodore
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Many NCAA teams take many traditional approaches to recruiting collegiate basketball prospects, i.e. film studies, scouting, interviews, to make scholarship decisions. These methods can be time-consuming, expensive, and lead to subjective decision-making. There is now an abundance of high school data that can be used in predictive models for collegiate basketball success.
ESPN’s recruiting database assigns ratings to high school basketball players based on scouting reports. Since college programs use similar methods to evaluate players, it is reasonable to conclude that recruiting ratings can be used to predict collegiate success. Two websites, prepcircuit.com and AAUStats.com, report box score statistics for high school basketball players. This data is publicly available online but unstructured requiring the use of web-scraping techniques. 
Win shares is an advanced metric respected for its all-encompassing nature of a player’s contribution to team success. Based on the current “one-and-done” climate, universities are looking for players to contribute immediately and NBA teams are drafting many players without a full season of collegiate data; therefore, freshman season win shares was the response variable. The recruiting rankings and high school statistics provide inputs to linear and nonlinear models compared on predictive accuracy of the response variable. The novelty of the high school data presents an opportunity to compare the impact that these different sources of data have on predictive models. The best model explained 37.4% of the out of sample variation in win shares. In this model, the incorporation of high school statistics improved out-of-sample prediction and the ESPN rating system that has been respected for 13 years. This finding will encourage more analysis and collection of high school data for collegiate and professional purposes.

description: In this article, we consider the Hawking radiation (HR) of vector (massive spin-1) particles from the traversable Lorentzian wormholes (TLWH) in 3+1 dimensions. We start by providing the Proca equations for the TLWH. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ)ansätz with the WKB approximation in the quantum tunneling method, we obtain the probabilities of the emission/absorption modes. Then, we derive the tunneling rate of the emitted vector particles and manage to read the standard Hawking temperature of the TLWH. The result obtained represents a negative temperature, which is also discussed.

description: LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) is a proposed experiment at DESY which will study Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in the strong-field regime, where QED becomes non-perturbative. The measurement of the rate of electron-positron pair creation, an essential ingredient to study this regime, is enabled by the use of a silicon tracking detector. Precision tracking of positrons traversing the four layers of the tracking detector becomes very challenging at high laser intensities due to the high rates, which can be computationally expensive for classical computers. In this work, an update of our previous studies of the potential of quantum computers to reconstruct positron tracks is presented. The reconstruction problem is formulated in terms of a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation (QUBO), and solved using simulated quantum computers and a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, namely Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). Different ansatz circuits and optimisers are studied. The results are discussed and compared with classical track reconstruction algorithms using Graph Neural Network and Combinatorial Kalman Filter.
Neuroimmune Response Activation by The Toll-Like Receptor 7 Agonist Imiquimod Increases Alcohol Self-Administration and Gene Expression in Rats

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Men and women world-wide suffer from alcohol use disorder (AUD), defined as a chronic brain disease characterized by the loss of an individual’s control over their alcohol intake. Emerging evidence has found that AUD is likely linked to specific neuroimmune responses in the brain. Neuroimmune responses can be triggered by numerous events such as infection, trauma, and stress, and they result in the increased expression of various proinflammatory molecules and receptor proteins. The purpose of this research was to further understand the relationship between the neuroimmune cascade triggered by activation of the toll-like receptor-7 protein (TLR7) that canonically detects viral single-stranded RNA, focusing on its effect on ethanol drinking behavior. Male and female Long Evans rats were trained to self-administer 15% ethanol solution in operant chambers and their drinking patterns were tracked during daily 30-minute sessions. Every 15 days, 10 mg/kg of imiquimod, a specific TLR7 agonist, was injected intraperitoneally in the male and female rats in order to induce a neuroimmune cascade. Increased alcohol self-administration was observed the day following imiquimod injections for both the male and female groups; however, there were some differences in the expression of the behavior. In females, this effect was seen after the first injection while the male group did not show this increase until the third injection suggesting a difference in TLR7 sensitization between sexes. Gene expression data was analyzed via real-time RTPCR from the nucleus accumbens core, a region in the brain implicated in drug addiction and reward in order to test for expression of TLR7 as well as TLR3, a receptor that detects double-stranded RNA. Ultimately, further testing may provide insight necessary in order to understand which specific factors of this neuroimmune cascade are responsible for the phenomena observed. Conclusively, understanding which specific neurobiological factors of neuroimmune activation contribute to the pathology of AUD is necessary for developing improved treatment options.

As an epidemiological interesting finding, spread behaviour was shown to depend on type in addition to age: basic reproduction numbers were 0.25 (95% CI 0.19-0.34) and 0.11 (95% CI 0.07-0.17) for types B:P1.7-2,4:F1-5 and C:P1.5,2:F3-3, respectively. Altogether, the proposed methodology represents a comprehensive and universal regression framework for the modelling, simulation and inference of self-exciting spatio-temporal point processes based on the CIF. Usability of the modelling in biometric practice is promoted by an implementation in the R package surveillance.

description: Responsibilities for measuring drinking water quality and usage are spread out between various federal, state, and local agencies. Therefore, monitoring water quality is a convoluted challenge that involves numerous regulatory agencies necessitating oversight from studies and examinations through non-regulatory agencies--such as academia. This study examines the elemental concentrations of various bottled water brands and municipal supplies of water accessible in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The goal of this study is to supply the public with adequate information on water quality in terms of trace metals and taste to allow the public to make informed decisions on the best drinking water options available in Chapel Hill.

The North Carolina Charter School Cap:  How removing the cap on the number of charter schools to allowed to operate in North Carolina impacted the charter sector
Creators: name: Smith, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the impact of removing the 100 charter school cap in 2011 on the North Carolina charter school sector using interrupted time series methodology. It examines many applications to open charter schools along several dimensions including charter management organization affiliation, specialization, and conversion status. Specialization serves as a measurable form of innovation. Charter schools following 2011 were more specialized than those that applied to open before 2011. This thesis also finds that CMOs may monitor policy changes in a state and respond to charter friendly policy changes by targeting that state. It concludes by considering many possibilities for future research that this thesis serves as a baseline for.

Caretta2: A Software Platform for Magnetoreception and Navigation Research
Creators: name: Harvey, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Many organisms have been shown to use the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation and navigation. Understanding the mechanisms of this behavior is an active area of research, with possible applications for engineered systems through the development of bioinspired navigation strategies. Conducting such research requires the real-time control of a variety of actuators and sensors in order to generate artificial magnetic fields in a laboratory environment and to track the response of organisms over time. Software systems previously developed for these tasks were typically narrow in scope and were generally not designed to support multiple experimental setups. This thesis presents the Caretta2 software platform which aims to address these issues, enabling further exploration of organismal magnetoreception. The platform also enables laboratory testing of bioinspired navigation strategies using physical sensors and motion platforms, which introduce realistic measurement and platform noise. Two practical applications of the platform to active fields of research are explored, one in the area of sea turtle magnetoreception and another related to the development of bioinspired geomagnetic navigation strategies.

description: Introduction: Diabetes is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in most parts of the world. Kidney involvement both directly and indirectly increases involvement of other organs and increase morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. However, little is known concerning when nephropathy develops once a person diagnosed with diabetes. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine time to nephropathy and its predictors among type 2 diabetic patient attending at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, 2019. Methods and materials: Retrospective cohort study was employed among Type 2 diabetic patients attending their follow up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine time to nephropathy and log rank test was used to compare time to nephropathy among different covariates in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients

Impacts of global climate change on the skeletal morphology of the Caribbean coral Siderastrea siderea over time
Creators: name: Oliveira, Kyle Shehata
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Increasing inputs of anthropogenic CO2 have caused seawater pH to decline and ocean temperatures to rise. Calcifying organisms like corals are impacted by these global change stressors, which can often lead to reduced calcification rates. To better understand how duration of exposure to acidification and warming impacts coral calcification, we conducted a 95-day experiment investigating how pCO2 (280 - 2800 μatm pCO2) and temperature (28oC, 31oC) impact the skeletal morphology of individual colonies of the Caribbean coral Siderastrea siderea through time. Coral samples were collected from inshore and offshore reefs from the southern portion of the Belize Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. Using stereomicroscopy, we quantified corallite height and infilling for individual corallites on experimental coral fragments. Corallite height measures the vertical distance from the basal plate to the septal ridge, and corallite infilling measures the ratio of skeletal structure to open space. Results suggest that corals from the offshore reef exhibit greater corallite height and greater corallite infilling than corals collected from inshore environments. Treatment temperature and pCO2 did not impact corallite height or percent skeletal infilling. Through exposure time to treatments, height and percent skeletal infilling did not change significantly; however, there was a pattern of decreasing infilling percentage through time for corals from offshore reefs. Results demonstrate that unique conditions found at the natal reef zones (i.e. wave energy, turbidity) play a larger impact than increasing temperatures and pCO2 values. Additionally, these results provide valuable insight into how global change stressors may alter the structural rugosity and durability of reef-building coral reefs.

description: This survey aims to explore the experience of “misarticulation.” Misarticulation is the subjective sense that one's language did not fully convey what was in one's mind. To better understand this experience, we will ask people to first recall and describe an instance where they were unable to fully convey what they had in mind. The survey then progresses with a series of questions aimed at documenting the features of these recalled experiences.
Emerging Paradigm of WTO for the Trade and Intellectual Property Rights Growth of Afghanistan: A Legal Discourse
Creators: name: Sadat Nasiri, Sayed Mahdi
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: International trade and investment law

description: WTO membership has always been a key component of Afghanistan's overarching strategic goals. Joining the WTO was seen as a chance for a post-conflict, landlocked, and least-developed economy to create economic stability, enhance regional security and cooperation, reduce poverty, and bring about peace. Afghanistan has been trying to join the multilateral trading system for eleven years. The article analyses the advantages and disadvantages of Afghanistan's WTO membership while seeking to explain the difficulties that would arise after accession. Afghanistan's development priorities will be met by the terms and conditions of its WTO membership. Among them include promoting domestic reforms for the country's transition to a prosperous market economy, luring capital, and job-generating investments. The study employed a doctrinal method of research and was limited to the accession of Afghanistan to the WTO.
