description: In two-dimensional electronic systems, direct first-order phase transitions are prohibited as a consequence of the long-range Coulomb interaction, which implies a stiff energetic penalty for macroscopic phase separation. A prominent proposal is that any direct first-order transition is instead replaced by a sequence of ``microemulsion" phases, in which the two phases are mixed in patterns of mesoscopic domains. In this note, we comment on the range $Δn$ of average electron density that such microemulsion phases may occupy. We point out that, even without knowing the value of a phenomenological parameter associated with surface tension between the two phases, one can place a fairly strong upper bound on the value of $Δn$. We make numerical estimates for $Δn$ in the case of the Fermi liquid to Wigner crystal transition and find $Δn$ to be on the order of $10^7$\,cm$^{-2}$. This value is much smaller than the width of the phase transition observed in experiments, suggesting that disorder is a more likely explanation for the apparent broadening of the transition.

description: We discuss the possibility of a gravitional Nieh-Yan anomaly of the type $\partial_μj^μ_5 =γT^2{\cal T}^a\wedge {\cal T}_a$ in topological Weyl materials, where $T$ is temperature and ${\cal T}^a$ is the effective or emergent torsion. As distinct from the non-universal parameter $Λ$ in the conventional (zero temperature) Nieh-Yan anomaly -- with canonical dimensions of momentum -- the parameter $γ$ is dimensionless. This suggests that the dimensionless parameter is fundamental, being determined by the geometry, topology and number of the number of chiral quantum fields without any explicit non-universal UV scales. This conforms with previous results in the literature, as well as spectral flow calculations using torsional magnetic field at finite temperature.

description: This article explores the connection between democratic values and participation in the context of potential democratic deconsolidation. It has been shown that the democratic understanding among citizens is not universal and, especially, new democracies are full of democrats with adjectives. Subsequently, these values influence participatory behaviour. I argue that the previously found mixed evidence on the impact of the external efficacy on participation is derived by neglecting the individual position on democracy. The country-specific data from the Czech ISSP Citizenship Module II provide information on the multiple dimensions of liberal democracy and allow for clustering citizens into four groups: Liberal Democrats, Liberal Non-democrats, Illiberal Democrats and Xenophobic Democrats. The results show disordinal interaction for the effect of external efficacy. In comparison to the rest, the Liberal Non-democrats are encouraged to participate when they perceive the government to be responsive.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Mid-water trawling, the primary method of harvesting Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and Atlantic mackerel (Scomber Scombrus) in the U.S., can capture hundreds of tons of fishes in a single tow. Vessels using this fishing gear are efficient but have the potential to catch large amounts of non-target species that are difficult to quantify. Decreases in the number of anadromous river herring (Alosa pseudoharengus,, A. aestivalis) and American shad (A. sapidissima) returning to spawn has led to speculation that these fishes are incidentally caught in large numbers by mid-water trawl vessels. Although the role of bycatch in the decline of river herring and American shad is unclear, mid-water and bottom trawl Atlantic herring and mackerel fishermen collaborated with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) and the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) to quantify and minimize bycatch. This collaborative project increased portside sampling of vessels landing in Massachusetts and Rhode Island from ≤15% to 50% and created a near-real time communication system to notify vessels of areas with high bycatch. Portside sampling is an efficient, cost-effective method to estimate catch of river herring and American shad, which are pumped aboard vessels along with targeted catch. Industry cooperation and the appearance of small scale spatial and temporal bycatch patterns suggest rapid communication may be effective for reducing bycatch. As managers of the Atlantic herring and mackerel fisheries consider adding regulations to reduce bycatch, this project provides fishermen with a tool to achieve this goal without increased regulation

description: Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the work was to evaluate the quality of the websites of agritourism farms in the Visegrad Group countries. Materials and methods: Evaluation of website quality was based on selected “site authority” measures, from the so-called SEO metrics: Trust Rank, Moz Rank and Page Authority, as well as measurement of the selected performance parameters of websites. The research was conducted on a group of 400 websites of agritourism farms, whose addresses were obtained from selected web directories. Results: In the case of as many as 331 sites (approx. 83%) Trust Rank lower than 1 point was recorded. The majority of tested websites are characterised by an average value of the Moz Rank index and a low value of the Page Authority index. The average time taken to load the website in the browser window for the first time was about 2.7 seconds, with as many as 68 (17%) websites being loaded in over 5 seconds. Conclusions: The tested websites are characterised by low values of the authority index, which may indicate poor quality, poor visibility in search results and a lack of recommendations from other valuable sites. Low index values may also mean that, despite the global potential, the tested websites have a merely local impact. Their existence is known to a small number of people and their Internet visibility is negligible or nonexistent. Websites published in such a manner do not fulfil their function.

description: We reveal the potentially important role of a general mechanism that has hitherto not been invoked in quantum heat management schemes, namely, spectral filtering of the coupling between the heat baths in the setup and the quantum system that controls the heat flow. Such filtering is enabled by interfaces between the system and the baths by means of harmonic-oscillator modes whose resonant frequencies and coupling strengths are used as control parameters of the system-bath coupling spectra. We show that this uniquely quantum-electrodynamic mechanism, here dubbed bath spectral filtering, boosts the performance of a minimal quantum heat manager comprised of two interacting qubits or an analogous optomechanical system, allowing this device to attain either perfect heat diode action or strongly enhanced heat transistor action.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Match codend L50 to Minimum Landing Size (MLS) can be seen as a straightforward solution to reduce juveniles catches of a given species, but this strategy could lead to catch losses of other targets with lower MLS. Herein we address a Spanish case study related to this issue. Hake (Merluccius merluccius [L. 1758], hereafter HKE) is a valuable target species for the Bottom otter-trawl mixed fishery (hereafter OTB-mix) fishery operating in Galician waters (V IIIc-IXa ). Large quantities of individuals below MLS (27cm) are still caught and subsequently discarded in the fishery, suggesting that efforts should be made to improve selectivity on this species. However, the Introduction of HKE-based size selection improvements to commercial gears may conflict with fishing interest on other target species with lower MLS, such as Blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou [Risso, 1826], hereafter WHB). This mismatch could be solved by introducing species selection devices, which split species within the trawl and drive the fractions to specific size selection panels. Nevertheless this approach success depends on an effective use (if exists) of differences in swimming-scape behaviour between species. Given this scenario, we propose a flow of questions intended to assess if WHB exploitation patterns in OTB-mix could play a key role in the success of potential HKE-based size selection improvements.

description: We establish that the spin-3/2 AKLT model on the honeycomb has a nonzero spectral gap. We use the relation between the anticommutator of two projectors and their sum, and apply it to related AKLT projectors that occupy plaquettes or other extended regions. We analytically reduce the complexity in the resulting eigenvalue problem and use a Lanczos numerical method to show that the required inequality for the nonzero spectral gap holds. This approach is also successfuly applied to several other spin-3/2 AKLT models on degree-3 semiregular tilings, such as the square octagon, star and cross lattices, where the complexity is low enough that exact diagonalization can be used instead of the Lanczos method. In addition, we also close the previously open cases in the singly decorated honeycomb and square lattices.

description: A solar energetic particle event was detected by the Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISOIS) instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) on 2019 April 4 when the spacecraft was inside of 0.17 au and less than 1 day before its second perihelion, providing an opportunity to study solar particle acceleration and transport unprecedentedly close to the source. The event was very small, with peak 1 MeV proton intensities of ~0.3 particles (cm^2 sr s MeV)^-1, and was undetectable above background levels at energies above 10 MeV or in particle detectors at 1 au. It was strongly anisotropic, with intensities flowing outward from the Sun up to 30 times greater than those flowing inward persisting throughout the event. Temporal association between particle increases and small brightness surges in the extreme-ultraviolet observed by the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory, which were also accompanied by type III radio emission seen by the Electromagnetic Fields Investigation on PSP, indicates that the source of this event was an active region nearly 80 degrees east of the nominal PSP magnetic footpoint. This suggests that the field lines expanded over a wide longitudinal range between the active region in the photosphere and the corona.

description: A rather simple method is used to detect at once both optical absorption spectra and excited-states nonradiative transitions in 0,03 at ${%}$ and 0,16 at ${%}$ ruby at temperature 2 K. The technique utilizes a time-resolved bolometer detection of phonons, generated by the excited-state nonradiative relaxation following optical excitation with a pulsed tunable dye laser. The observed excitation spectra of phonons well coincide with already known absorption spectra of both single chromium ions and pairs of the nearest neighbors. For the first time the fast ($\leqslant 0,5 μs$)resonant energy transfer from single chromium ions to the fourth- nearest neighbors is observed directly. The new strongly perturbed $Cr$-single-ion sites are observed.

description: Conventional wisdom dictates that the more citizens lean towards either end of the ideological spectrum, the lower their support for democracy. The main model pitted against this “rigidity-of-the-extremes model” is the “rigidity-of-the-right model”. This model assumes that rightist citizens are less supportive. This study proposes and empirically demonstrates the validity of an alternative model, which we call “the authoritarian legacy model”. This model predicts that whether leftist or rightist citizens are less supportive of democracy depends on countries’ experience with left- or right-authoritarianism. To evaluate its validity, we present a systematic comparative investigation of the relation between citizens’ ideological and democratic beliefs, using European and World Values Survey data from 38 European countries (N = 105,495; 1994-2008). In line with this model, our analyses demonstrate that democratic support is lowest among leftist citizens in former left-authoritarian countries and among rightist citizens in former right-authoritarian countries. We find that this relation persists even among generations that grew up after authoritarian rule. These findings suggest that traditional ideological rigidity models are unsuitable for the study of citizens’ democratic beliefs.
title: Therapeutic Target Identification, Validation and Drug Discovery for Traumatic Brain Injury
Creators: name: Morin, Alexander
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a recognized cause of long-term disability worldwide with mild TBI accounting for 80% of all head traumas. Growing evidence links mTBI, and particularly repetitive mTBI (r-mTBI), with long lasting pathological and cognitive deficits that can serve as a risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and others. So far, there is no FDA-approved treatment to mitigate the consequences of r-mTBI, mainly due to the lack of an effective therapeutic target and a poor translatability of existing preclinical studies, which fail to mimic heterogeneous nature of TBI. In the current thesis, I used a mouse model of r-mTBI which was treated with two different drugs, nilvadipine and anatabine, that have been previously shown to decrease inflammation and neurodegenerative mechanisms and improve cognition. To address the heterogenous nature of r-mTBI, I used several cohorts of mice which vary in age at injury (young vs old), number of hits (5 vs 24), acute or chronic duration of treatment, and the time of the first treatment intervention post injury (immediate vs delayed). I have found that both nilvadipine and anatabine, in their respective treatment paradigms, improved cognitive deficits, decreased neuroinflammation, and reduced tau pathology. Moreover, nilvadipine was equally effective in both young and old 5-hit r-mTBI mice during the acute treatment. Anatabine was shown to be effective as a delayed treatment starting at 3 months after the last injury in r-mTBI mice with both 5 and 24 hits. We further conducted a phosphoproteome analysis to identify common alterations in response to r-mTBI and tested therapeutics. Despite a high heterogeneity of the phosphoproteome profile between the analyzed cohorts, our data identified several molecules (ARPP21, Syt-1) which were equally altered in response to treatment in all r-mTBI cohorts and may represent potential therapeutic targets that are effective across different models of r-mTBI. Future studies will focus on the total proteome analysis and a subsequent validation of these potential targets.

Pressures, impacts, conservation, and management

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Releasing, or “slipping”, all or part of a catch has traditionally been used as a method for catch regulation in purse seine fisheries. During the last decades it has been documented that the mortality of fish crowded to densities experienced in the later phases of purse seine fishing may be substantial (Lockwood et al., 1983; Huse and Vold, 2010; Marçalo et al., 2006; Marçalo et al., 2007; Marçalo et al., 2010; Mitchell et al., 2002). Norwegian purse seine fisheries for Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) are the largest and among the most profitable fisheries in Norway. Reports from the fishing grounds and anecdotal evidence suggest that slipping in these fisheries is a relatively common practice, particularly when herring occur in dense schools or large amounts of small herring are mixed with larger ones on the fishing grounds. Previous experiments have further shown that herring is sensitive to gear contact (Misund and Beltestad, 1995; Suuronen et al., 1996a) and it is therefore likely that slipping mortality is a problem also in these fisheries.

This operator is a factor ordering of the classical kinetic energy. We investigate other relatively simple factor orderings and show that the {\it only} other solution for a conformally flat metric is the conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator. For non-conformally-flat metrics this type of factor ordering fails, by just one term, to give the conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator.

description: We suggest an experiment to study Luttinger liquid behavior in a one-dimensional nanostructure, avoiding the usual complications associated with transport measurements. The proposed setup consists of a quantum box, biased by a gate voltage, and side-coupled to a quantum wire by a point contact. Close to the degeneracy points of the Coulomb blockaded box, and in the presence of a magnetic field sufficiently strong to spin polarize the electrons, the setup can be described as a Luttinger liquid interacting with an effective Kondo impurity. Using exact nonperturbative techniques we predict that the differential capacitance of the box will exhibit distinctive Luttinger liquid scaling with temperature and gate voltage.

title: A Role of Unfolded Protein Response in the Cellular Response to Flavivirus Infection
Creators: name: Kazungu, Yvette
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Flaviviruses are responsible for a myriad of epidemics globally. Factors like movement and climate change perpetuate their spread making control rather challenging. The understanding of host-virus interactions is therefore cornerstone in attempts to produce efficient vaccines and/or therapies. The host immune system is indispensable in fighting infections but viruses have developed evasion strategies which abrogate the response that would otherwise function in virus clearance. The unfolded protein response (UPR), an intrinsic cellular proteostasis pathway is increasingly associated with innate immunity in response to cellular insults including viral infection. UPR activation by external stimuli elicits an earlier induction of IFNβ and antiviral ISGs suggesting UPR as a priming event that potentiates a more robust response against flaviviruses. Prerequisite to the core of this study, an analysis of the effects of TM and TG (UPR chemical inducers) as used in our current experimental settings show that they are only cytostatic but not cytotoxic. Afterwards, I delve into the search for alternative UPR inducers as potential alternatives for the ones currently in use. I show that E, NS1 and NS2B proteins of TBEV can induce UPR and several antiviral ISGs when ectopically expressed, an effect that inhibits TBEV in infection. Of the three proteins studied, NS2B seems to be the most potent inducer of UPR and antiviral ISGs. Furthermore, expression of NS2B together with RIG-I augments the IFNβ promoter activity suggesting a possible role in innate signaling independent of infection. The findings of this work open up possible avenues that require further investigation particularly in the case of NS2B, which is not a well-documented flavivirus protein apart from the context of its function as a protease cofactor. The mechanism by which it induces ER stress is especially intriguing because unlike E and NS1 proteins, it is not a glycoprotein

description: The dynamics of the 2D Coulomb glass model is investigated by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. An exponential divergence of the relaxation time signals a zero-temperature freezing transition. At low temperatures the dynamics of the system is glassy. The local charge correlations and the response to perturbations of the local potential show aging. The dynamics of formation of the Coulomb gap is slow and the density of states at the Fermi level decays in time as a power law. The relevance of these findings for recent transport experiments in Anderson-insulating films is pointed out.

description: Using gauge theory /string theory correspondence certain universal aspects of the strongly coupled four dimensional gauge theory hydrodynamics were established in hep-th/0311175. The analysis were performed in the framework of ``membrane paradigm'' approach to the fluctuations on the black brane stretched horizon. We confirm the universal result for the shear viscosity to the entropy density ratio for the strongly coupled N=2* gauge theory from explicit computation of the finite temperature Minkowski-space correlation functions in the dual supergravity geometry.

'Me Encanta' : the Expansion of an Unorthodox Embassy in Venezuela (How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Enjoy the Fries)
Creators: name: Yanez Hernandez, Luis
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Extrapolating from my childhood memories, this project explores an unorthodox embassy; the banal and the generic. These spaces represent something “other”, exceptions in the local culture. They also represent an extraterritorial zone through the use of protocols, security, and branding mechanisms. The “McDonald's” of the world are becoming a new version of the embassy as nation-states are constricting traditional embassies due to increased paranoia. The project reads embassies as political mechanisms that deal with thresholds, images, and interiorities. The structure of the project intertwines three childhood memories with the speculation of McDonald's restaurants in my hometown (Lecheria,Venezuela) as it questions ideas of publicity and the privatization of public space. In a landscape that struggles with the creation of civic life, the project explores ways of bending the architecture of globalized institutions.

description: One of the challenges of autocratizing governments in regimes with nominally democratic institutions is how to repress fundamental democratic rights while claiming to uphold the rule of law. Post-9/11 socio-legal debates point to the emergency rule as a legal framework within democratic constitutions that can be potentially used to hollow out citizens’ rights. But the study of emergency rule is often limited to its enactment under extraordinary situations. This article takes the crucial case of Turkey’s authoritarian transformation and develops the concept of mobile emergency rule to argue that emergency-like suspensions of rights also occur in highly localized and temporary forms in the absence of an officially declared state of emergency. Based on an original dataset, it examines all legal bans on protests issued by authorities between 2007 and 2018 in the name of maintaining order and security. The results illustrate how the use of this tool dovetailed with key turning points of authoritarian transformation in Turkey and reflected the changing needs of the regime as it tried to build and sustain a new hegemonic project. In effect, mobile emergency rule created a highly ambiguous terrain for protest rights even before the declaration of state of emergency in July 2016.

description: Background and objective: N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and myo-inositol (mIns) are spectroscopic markers of neuronal integrity and astrogliosis, respectively. We performed a survival analysis to determine the prognostic value of the NAA/mIns metabolite ratio in ALS after a period of two and five years. Methods: Twenty-four patients with ALS (two with ALS-FTD) were recruited to participate in a high-field MR spectroscopy study of the mesial prefrontal cortex. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to assess NAA/mIns as a predictor of survival alongside other demographic and clinical measures. Census dates were set at two and five years after the time of MR scan for each patient. Survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: After a five-year observation period, 19 patients had died and five were still alive. Median survival time from date of scan was 1.95 years. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis showed NAA/mIns to be a significant independent predictor of survival at two years after scanning, but not at five years. Conclusion: Cerebral degeneration in the mesial prefrontal cortex as detected by the NAA/mIns metabolite ratio is predictive of survival in ALS in a time-dependent manner.
The practice of performance measurement : enriching the institutional perspective

description: This thesis presents a study of performance measurement in a university context, attempting to reconcile the macro focus of organisational performance measurement with the more micro perspective of individual performance assessment. In the public sector, administrative reforms have resulted in extended performance regimes aimed at improving accountability and providing performance data for assessment exercises and funding decisions. Many accounting researchers have highlighted the role of performance measurement in securing organisational legitimacy for public sector organisations. Yet relatively little attention has been paid to how individuals practice performance measurement within institutional settings which are subject to coexisting internal and external performance regimes. The extant literature has recognised that one way organisations deal with conflicting demands for performance information is by adopting loosely coupled performance systems. In this context loose coupling has been seen as a proactive way of securing organisational legitimacy without compromising internal consistency. Extending previous work I suggest that loose coupling should be seen as an empirical question rather than an a priori construct. Individuals within organisations work to reconcile macro performance measurement regimes and micro performance review systems and these reconciliations undermine the logic of loose coupling. I deploy a case study of two higher education institutions in order to explore the relationship between micro and macro performance measurement as perceived by individuals within the institutional setting. Utilising institutional theory as the theoretical framework, the research approach is informed by hermeneutic analysis to capture both the macro and the micro focus of this work. My findings provide evidence that individuals assess patterns of couplings both between and within institutional systems and recognise any internal inconsistencies. These inconsistencies are implicated in reducing individuals' feelings of accountability and they also increase uncertainty in regards to their organisational role. The study makes important theoretical contributions which extend understanding of the reciprocal nature between agency and structure. The study also provides a methodological contribution by utilising hermeneutic analysis which highlights the role of individual experience in providing meaning to institutional structures.

From State to Civil Society: Transitional Justice and Democratization in Indonesia

description: This thesis examines the implementation of transitional justice measures in post-authoritarian Indonesia, starting from the beginning of the political transition in 1998 until its consolidation in 2009 and beyond. It does so by, first, assessing the procedural and substantive aspects of transitional justice implementation. Following this assessment, the thesis, second, analyses the factors within democratic transition that either facilitated or hindered the adoption and implementation of transitional justice measures. The thesis argues that state-sponsored transitional justice in Indonesia has been successful only in terms of procedure, and even then only problematically so, but a total failure in substance. This outcome resulted from the nature of the political transition in Indonesia from 1998 onwards. Indonesia’s transition involved a combination of a rupture, or replacement, style of transition and a compromise, or transplacement. The replacement features motivated the government and political elite to agree to the adoption of transitional justice measures. In the period of transition, when it lacked political legitimacy, the new government needed transitional justice to distance itself from the image of the predecessor repressive regime and to gain public trust, both domestically and internationally. However, the transplacement nature of the political transition, which involved bargaining between elements of the old regime and reformers, contributed to the failure to achieve the objectives of transitional justice. Even though transitional justice failed at the state level, more positive outcomes have occurred at the community and local levels. Civil society groups and regional governments have initiated partial transitional justice, suggesting that improving justice outcomes can also take place from the bottom up, or from the margins, rather than being entirely dependent upon top-down, or state-centred initiatives.
Detecting High-Energy Neutrinos from Galactic Supernovae with ATLAS

description: We show that ATLAS, a collider detector, can measure the flux of high-energy supernova neutrinos, which can be produced from days to months after the explosion. Using Monte Carlo simulations for predicted fluxes, we find at most $\mathcal{O}(0.1-1)$ starting events and $\mathcal{O}(10-100)$ throughgoing events from a supernova 10 kpc away. Possible Galactic supernovae from Betelgeuse and Eta Carinae are further analyzed as demonstrative examples. We argue that even with limited statistics, ATLAS has the ability to discriminate among flavors and between neutrinos and antineutrinos, making it an unique neutrino observatory so far unmatched in this capability.
