description: Solar energy, an abundant and cost-free power source, requires effective harnessing for sustainable energy solutions. Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a promising energy capture technology that uses optical devices to concentrate the power of the sun on to a surface and in turn generates power by means of a thermal-to-electric conversion unit. Current CSP technology is unfavourable as a renewable source of energy due to its high levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The 2030 target for CSP cycles are to be more than 50% efficient to reduce the LCOE to 5¢/kWh.This research addresses the imperative need for improved CSP systems by focusing on the drawbacks associated with the prevalent use of molten salts as the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) material. The drawbacks of its use include high LCOE attributed to expensive capital costs associated to its use and limited working temperatures below 600 °C.In response to these challenges, our approach involves the adoption of low-cost solid particle TES materials. A novel Recirculating Combined Fluidised Bed Particle Receiver (RCFBPR) system concept, designed to act as both the CSP receiver and heat exchanger, is introduced. This system is meticulously modelled using Ansys Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to analyse heat transfer and hydrodynamic performance, aiming for process intensification and LCOE reduction.The research results unveil an optimised design, showcasing a receiver wall-to-solid particle heat transfer coefficient of 2.7 kW/m2 K. This design translates to a commendable heat transfer rate of approximately 334 kW to alumina particles as the optimum TES material. Critical factors contributing to this include minimised convective heat loss, heightened particle contact surface area, continuous particle circulation, and the superior thermal conductivity of alumina compared to molten salts.Furthermore, a comprehensive system cost analysis, utilising the System Advisor Module (SAM), estimates the LCOE of the proposed CSP system at 3¢/kWh. This competitive cost projection positions the CSP system favourably against other renewable energy sources, including wind and solar PV.

Silence among Afro Caribbean men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Trinidad and Tobago : a grounded theory study.
Creators: name: King-Okoye, Michelle
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the leading cause of death among Afro-Caribbean men in Trinidad and Tobago (TT). TT is listed as one among countries with the highest PCa mortality rates in the world (Hosein et al., 2016). A systematic review undertaken explored men’s cultural beliefs about prostate symptoms and help-seeking behaviours, which revealed a dearth of knowledge of Afro-Caribbean men and PCa (King-Okoye et al., 2017). This study aims to explore men and partners experiences along care pathways for PCa in TT, including the beliefs and meanings men associate with their illness and its presentation. Methods: Utilising Straussian grounded theory, semi-structured and focus-group interviews were conducted with men (n= 51) diagnosed with PCa and partners (n=16) at four (urology & oncology) centres throughout TT in 2015-2016. Results: Five categories: ‘Disrupting the Self’, ‘Disconnected to Health Services’, ‘The Silent Wall’, ‘Blame and Distrust’ and ‘Breaking the Silence’ and a core category, ‘Silence among Afro-Caribbean men’ (SAACM) were generated from the data. These connect with men’s late presentation of PCa at emergency services with severe and life-limiting symptoms associated with high mortality rates for this disease. The main reasons underlying men’s late presentation to health services with debilitating symptoms, concern masculinity norms, lack of awareness and knowledge of early stage PCa, cultural beliefs and practices and perceptions of an uncaring health system. These heavily influenced men’s ability to access care and move through routes to diagnosis for PCa in TT. Conclusion: The SAACM offers unique insight into identifying how men’s cultural beliefs, hegemonic masculinity and lack of knowledge and awareness of the prostate and PCa resulted in delays in help-seeking and subsequently late diagnosis. A better understanding of men and their partners’ experiences along routes to diagnosis for PCa can target specific public health messages to address barriers to early diagnosis for men.

description: Today there is plenty of good news for the providers of business education. Business education now has a dominant position in many educational institutions globally. In the USA undergraduate business degrees grew from 14% of all degrees granted in 1971 to 20% in 2003. The numbers were 18% and 23% for MBAs and Masters programs for the same period (Friga, Bettis and Sullivan 2003). In Australia business and commerce degrees constitute the most popular field of education for award course students in 2005 constituting almost 30% of all higher education courses taught (ABS Year Book Australia, 2007). “Students and business people from around the world continue to flock to business schools” (Lorenzi 2004). The demand is predicted to continue (Friga et al 2003). [Introduction]

The moderating role of the smartphone in behavioural changes of wellness tourists.
Creators: name: Kim, Mincheol
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: The purpose of this research is not only to develop and test a research model to investigate the moderating role of the ubiquity attribute of the smartphone between influencing variables (that is, situational and individual factors) and behavioural changes of wellness tourists, but also to provide the related implications. So far, empirical research has not considered wellness tourists’ behaviour at their destination in particular, when using ICT (particularly, smartphone). This study conducted an analysis using the survey questionnaire method at the quantitative stage. Before conducting the main study, two preliminary studies were undertaken to: 1) select wellness activities to include in the current study, and 2) determine a ubiquity measurement in the context of travel. The findings from these preliminary studies enabled the questionnaire used for the main study to be more specific and detailed. With regard to the main study, the survey was conducted focusing on wellness tourists who had experienced a wellness trip in Jeju Island with a total of 730 questionnaire. To test the hypotheses in the research model, this study utilised Smartpls software version 3.0 to apply the partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis. As a consequence, in terms of the ubiquity related constructs, ‘instant connectivity’ attribute emphasises the interaction with others over the network and the importance of Internet speed with regard to the behaviour change of tourists. Regarding the moderating effect, this study supports that the hypothesis (The ubiquity of the smartphone moderates the relationships between influencing factors and behavioural change of wellness tourists.) could be accepted. Consequently, this study basically adopted the measurement of actual behavioural changes rather than the behavioural intention. Hence, this study makes a meaningful contribution to the literature by demonstrating empirically the significant relationship between the role of smartphone and actual behavioural changes in wellness tourism.

description: Background: Maternal deaths have been attributed in large part to delays in recognition of illness, timely transport to facility, and timely treatment once there. As community perceptions of pregnancy and their complications are critical to averting maternal morbidity and mortality, this study sought to contribute to the literature and explore community-based understandings of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Methods The study was conducted in rural Karnataka State, India, in 2012–2013. Fourteen focus groups were held with the following community stakeholders: three with community leaders (n = 27), two with male decision-makers (n = 19), three with female decision-makers (n = 41), and six with reproductive age women (n = 132). Focus groups were facilitated by local researchers with clinical and research expertise. Discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and translated to English for thematic analysis using NVivo 10. Results Terminology exists in the local language (Kannada) to describe convulsions and hypertension, but there were no terms that are specific to pregnancy. Community participants perceived stress, tension and poor diet to be precipitants of hypertension in pregnancy. Seizures in pregnancy were thought to be brought on by anaemia, poor medical adherence, lack of tetanus toxoid immunization, and exposure in pregnancy to fire or water. Sweating, fatigue, dizziness-unsteadiness, swelling, and irritability were perceived to be signs of hypertension, which was recognized to have the potential to lead to eclampsia or death. Home remedies, such as providing the smell of onion, placing an iron object in the hands, or squeezing the fingers and toes, were all used regularly to treat seizures prior to accessing facility-based care although transport is not delayed. Conclusions It is evident that ‘pre-eclampsia’ and ‘eclampsia’ are not well-known; instead hypertension and seizures are perceived as conditions that may occur during or outside pregnancy. Improving community knowledge about, and modifying attitudes towards, hypertension in pregnancy and its complications (including eclampsia) has the potential to address community-based delays in disease recognition and delays in treatment that contribute to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Advocacy and educational initiatives should be designed to target knowledge gaps and potentially harmful practices, and respond to cultural understandings of disease. Trial registration NCT01911494

Dynamic changes in cervical cancer.
Creators: name: Otter, Sophie
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Locally advanced cervical cancer is treated with chemoradiotherapy. The 5 year survival for stage II and III disease ranges from 40-60% and therefore there is scope for improvement of treatment either using dose escalation or adding in additional therapeutic agents. However, the burden of toxicity following chemoradiotherapy is not insignificant and therefore whilst trying to improve the cure rate, it is also important to reduce the dose to the organs at risk. This thesis looks at methods of increasing the dose delivered to the tumour whilst reducing the dose to the organs at risk. The methods used to achieve this are the use of a bladder scanner to reduce internal organ movement, the use of a plan of the day strategy, the use of interstitial needles for brachytherapy and the use of texture analysis to predict those patients who are not going to achieve a complete response to chemoradiotherapy. The final chapter starts to explore the question of whether immunotherapy in the form of immune checkpoint blockade drugs could potentially be of benefit in cervical cancer. The tumour microenvironment was assessed before and during chemoradiotherapy by looking at tumour infiltrating lymphocyte populations and the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1. These were also studied in the peripheral blood.
Accidental release of superheated liquids: flashing jet breakup and spray formation
Creators: name: Zhu, Xueliang
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Accidental releases of superheated liquids are featured by depressurisation across the outlet, leading to liquid flashing within the upstream container and the downstream jet. The resulting superheated liquid jet breaks up into massive droplets when released into the ambient with lower saturated pressure, driven by thermal nonequilibrium and the accompanying mechanical forces. Such a phenomenon facilitates fuel atomisation in energy utilisation while fostering beneficial conditions for fire, explosion, and toxic diffusion in the case of accidental release. The aim is to explore how thermal non-equilibrium and mechanical forces affect jet breakup and how the formed droplets evaporate and travel in the resulting sprays. Motivated by the aim, this project is divided into four parts based on experimental and theoretical studies.

description:

description: An experimental tank with a value of 20 L was built to examine the depressurised releases of superheated liquids via a high-speed camera and phase Doppler anemometry. Because the upstream dynamics and thermodynamics determine the resulting jet, dynamic behaviours of in-tank subcooled liquid with phase change were first investigated throughout depressurised releases of superheated liquids. The proposed thermodynamic dimensionless number had a good capacity in characterising the in-tank variation. Subsequently, the main driving forces for flashing jet breakup, such as thermodynamic and mechanical effects, were clarified. Breakup-related dimensionless numbers were characterised. Further exploration elucidated the coupling between the two driving forces during depressurised releases and the quantitative relationship (f(Ja, ρv/ρl, Rp, ηp,Wev, Oh, Pr, Ec)) at the stable phase. Following that, the breakup regime of flashing jets and the corresponding jet characteristics were qualitatively and quantitatively revealed. Specifically, non-flashing, partially flashing, and fully flashing breakups coincided with RpJa(WevOh)1/7<41, 41≤RpJa(WevOh)1/7<223, and 223≤RpJa(WevOh)1/7, respectively. Finally, a liquid-gas coupling cell model was developed to explore the evaporation and motion of droplets formed by the breakup of flashing jets. The model predictions agreed well with the experimental results.
description: These findings have promoted the knowledge of the coupling breakup regime and characteristics of flashing jets at depressurised releases and the motion, heat transfer, and mass transfer of the resulting droplets. Such a more in-depth understanding can contribute to better preventing, controlling, and responding to unwanted release of superheated liquids, as well as design processes to generate desired sprays.

Female Masculinities & the Environment in Early Medieval Texts, 700-1000
Creators: name: Pilgrim, Teresa
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024
Subjects: Transfeminist & Queer Studies

description: Abstract This transfeminist thesis examines a powerful community of early models of female masculine identity witnessed by four early medieval texts written by or about gender queer and queer women. Each, I argue, reflects their nonnormative authorial subjectivities, environments and autonomy, but especially the cultural conditions of masculinist subjugation faced by women which thus, they also retain. This queer transfeminist thesis argues that authorial thinking processes visible in the Caligula Life of St Mildrith, the characterisation of Grendel’s mother in Beowulf, Hugeburc’s Hodoeporican of St Willibald, and the Old English Life of St Mary of Egypt stand as witnesses to the ways in which, historically, we have come to understand womanhood and the environment. Following close analyses in dialogue with these early models of female identity and multiple contemporary schools of feminist thought, ecocriticism, Critical Race Theory, trans and queer theory, this thesis, as an articulation of radical ecofeminism, illustrates how these texts constitute gender nonconforming and queer literary culture, and significantly, by their contribution to knowledge, they establish early histories of female masculinities.  Chapter I explores the literary lineage and landscape of the founding monastic women of Minster-in-Thanet alongside contemporary contexts of female masculinities to show some of its powerful historical predecessors. Chapter II examines the evolving Christian world refashioned by influential heroic poetry violently recast on mythic terrain embodied by a woman destroyed in its wake. Chapter III reveals how Hugeburc’s authorship undermines male masculine authority in a collaborative pilgrimage narrative which I argue contains new cultural modes of trans feminist mobilities that I term trans-authorial subjectivities and trans-authorial mobility. Lastly, Chapter IV culminates with a radical new queer and trans feminist reading of Mary of Egypt which attests her resistance to the cultural conversion practices enforced in the Life upon the basis of masculinities as male bodied identity.

Open Access

description: The OLH is a charitable organisation dedicated to publishing world-leading open access humanities scholarship with no author-facing article processing charges. Launched in 2015, our free-to-read, free-to-publish model was set up to revolutionise the field of open access publishing. Five years on, our sustainable business model has attracted nearly 300 supporting institutions, with further revenue generated through hosting on our in-house open source publishing platform Janeway, enabling us to establish a thriving platform of 28 peer-reviewed open access journals. The OLH has been internationally recognised as an important development in open access for the humanities and for its innovative business model. The current level of Article Processing Charges makes gold OA publishing unaffordable for the majority of unfunded humanities scholars. The OLH aims instead to implement a collaborative, or collective, funding model for gold open access in the humanities without APCs. The model proposed by the OLH is one where publication costs do not fall on the institution or researchers but, are instead financed collaboratively through an international library consortium, where each member pays an annual fee according to the country and size of the institution. Reducing and distributing the costs of publication across its members, with an economy of scale that improves as more institutions join. Our idea is that research organisations and libraries make a relatively small contribution that covers the costs of running a publication platform on which peer-reviewed scholarly journals can then be published as open access. The platform was initially funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and now, five years after its launch, entirely covers its costs by payments from its international library consortium. Our mission is to support and extend open access to scholarship in the humanities - for free, for everyone, for ever.
Powered robotic exoskeletons in post-stroke rehabilitation of gait: a scoping review

description: Powered robotic exoskeletons are a potential intervention for gait rehabilitation in stroke to enable repetitive walking practice to maximize neural recovery. As this is a relatively new technology for stroke, a scoping review can help guide current research and propose recommendations for advancing the research development. The aim of this scoping review was to map the current literature surrounding the use of robotic exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation in adults post-stroke. Five databases (Pubmed, OVID MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials) were searched for articles from inception to October 2015. Reference lists of included articles were reviewed to identify additional studies. Articles were included if they utilized a robotic exoskeleton as a gait training intervention for adult stroke survivors and reported walking outcome measures. Of 441 records identified, 11 studies, all published within the last five years, involving 216 participants met the inclusion criteria. The study designs ranged from pre-post clinical studies (n = 7) to controlled trials (n = 4); five of the studies utilized a robotic exoskeleton device unilaterally, while six used a bilateral design. Participants ranged from sub-acute (<7 weeks) to chronic (>6 months) stroke. Training periods ranged from single-session to 8-week interventions. Main walking outcome measures were gait speed, Timed Up and Go, 6-min Walk Test, and the Functional Ambulation Category. Meaningful improvement with exoskeleton-based gait training was more apparent in sub-acute stroke compared to chronic stroke. Two of the four controlled trials showed no greater improvement in any walking outcomes compared to a control group in chronic stroke. In conclusion, clinical trials demonstrate that powered robotic exoskeletons can be used safely as a gait training intervention for stroke. Preliminary findings suggest that exoskeletal gait training is equivalent to traditional therapy for chronic stroke patients, while sub-acute patients may experience added benefit from exoskeletal gait training. Efforts should be invested in designing rigorous, appropriately powered controlled trials before powered exoskeletons can be translated into a clinical tool for gait rehabilitation post-stroke.

description: Can we color in the Altmetric donut by using a social media echo chamber, and does that manipulation lead to actual engagement with the work? Recently, a university professor told us every time she published she would tweet and re-tweet the DOI of her publication. To inflate her own Altmetric score she had created a series of artificial social media profiles “engaging” with her work. This peaked our curiosity and so we made a small-scale experiment. We encouraged our colleagues and the conference participants at LIBER 2019 to tweet and re-tweet the DOI of a letter to the editor describing our experiment published in LIBER Quarterly. The interest in our experiment spiraled out beyond our usual network. For every tweet we increased our score. But no matter how much we tried we did not manage to make it spread to other SoMe platforms than twitter and our donut has remained blue (the color of tweets). We tried again and again to obtain scores from Youtube, Google+, various blogs, but had no success. Our overall theoretical framework for this work is Roger’s diffusion of innovations theory. We will use this theory to explain both the success (many tweets) and the failures (on other platforms) of our experiment. Our poster is richly illustrated with maps how the DOI was tweeted and retweeted and examples of SoMe platforms where we were less successful and all of it set within the framework of our theoretical approach.

description: Im September 2006 fand in Helsinki das sechste Asia-Europe-Peoples’ Forum (AEPF) statt. Als besondere Herausforderung stellte sich dabei der Umgang mit der großen Zahl von Vertreterinnen aus China heraus. Dies gilt umso mehr, als dass das siebte Asia Europe Summit Meeting (ASEM) im Oktober 2008 in Beijing stattfinden wird und das Asia-Europe-Peoples’ Forum Ober die Durchführung eines AEPF in Beijing zu entscheiden hat.

Does dietary nitrate supplementation improve performance in cardiopulmonary exercise testing and post-operative recovery in patients with colorectal cancer? A randomised controlled trial
Creators: name: Brown, Vanessa S. F.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: Major surgery generates a stress response which increases oxygen demand and consumption post-operatively. Patients with low cardiopulmonary reserve may not be able to meet the increased oxygen demand and are at risk of increased morbidity. Dietary nitrate reduces the amount of oxygen required to perform a set amount of exercise and enhances exercise tolerance and performance in athletes by improving oxygen utilisation. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is an established method of assessing patients’ cardiopulmonary reserve prior to surgery. The anaerobic threshold (AT) is the oxygen uptake at which anaerobic metabolism supplements aerobic metabolism; is calculated during CPX and can predict short and long term outcomes after surgery and postoperative complications. We conducted a single centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial to determine if dietary organic nitrate supplementation with beetroot juice (BRJ) improves pre-operative performance in CPX in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Eligible patients were adults undergoing elective laparoscopic resection for CRC. Patients were randomised to receive BRJ or nitrate-depleted BRJ (Placebo). Initial CPX was performed to a standard ramped incremental exercise protocol. Patients then received BRJ or placebo every day for 7 days followed by a second CPX. The primary outcome measure was the change in AT. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean AT in the nitrate group (+0.706, 95% CI 0.130 to 1.281; p=0.018) but not in the placebo group. There was a significantly lower length of stay in nitrates group. There was no significant difference in rate of complications between the two groups. Just 7 days of dietary nitrate supplementation results in a significant improvement in oxygen utilisation in an elderly population with colorectal cancer. This is a novel finding and this study is the first in patients undergoing surgery. This trial provides evidence that dietary nitrate supplementation is beneficial in a preoperative setting.

Integriert wurde der Catalogus Professorum Halensis, der durch Mitarbeitende des Instituts für Geschichte der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg entstand. Dabei handelt es sich um ein bio-bibliografisches Online-Lexikon zu den Professoren der Universität Halle zwischen 1694 und 1968. Die Texte wurden vor allem von Henrik Eberle und anderen Mitarbeitenden zwischen 2005 und 2010 recherchiert und erstellt. Etliche Artikel zum Zeitraum 1694 bis 1817 verfasste Julia Schopferer. Bei der Überführung in das Biografienportal wurden die Lebensangaben neu recherchiert und Metadaten über Verfahren des Named Entity Recogniton erschlossen. Automatisiert erkannt wurden Personennamen, Ortsbezeichnungen und Körperschaften, die in der hier vorhandenen RTF-Datei indexiert vorliegt. Zudem wurden diese mit GND-Einträgen abgeglichen. Weiterhin erfolgte ein Abgleich mit der „Ontologie der historischen, deutschsprachigen Amts- und Berufsbezeichnungen“. Die Texte liegen im Jahr 2024 in zweifacher Ausgabe im Catalogus Professorum Halensis des Universitätsarchivs und des Biografienportals des Historischen Datenzentrums Sachsen-Anhalts vor. Sie werden hier für die Langzeitarchivierung der ursprünglichen Fassung archiviert.

The role of intermediaries in the implementation and development of asynchronous rural access

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In Orissa state, India, the DakNet system supports asynchronous Internet communication between an urban hub and rural nodes. DakNet is noteworthy in many respects, not least in how the system leverages existing transport infrastructure. Wi-Fi transceivers mounted on local buses send and receive user data from roadside kiosks, for later transfer to/from the Internet via wireless protocols. This store-and-forward system allows DakNet to offer asynchronous communication capacity to rural users at low cost. The original ambition of the DakNet system was to provide email and SMS facilities to rural communities. Our 2008 study of the communicative ecology surrounding the DakNet system revealed that this ambition has now evolved â- in response to market demand â- to the extent that e-shopping (rather than email) has become the primary driver behind the DakNet offer.
Deep clustering analysis and representation learning for high-dimensional data
Creators: name: NTELEMIS, FOIVOS
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: Advanced technologies have accelerated the collection and storage of unlabeled, high dimensional data, such as visual data. Manually annotating these large datasets is time-consuming and only a temporary solution as the annotation relates to a particular dataset. Machine learning algorithms are capable of managing and analysing this large volume of data. However, due to high-dimensionality, traditional clustering techniques are inadequate.

description:

description: In this thesis, we aim to overcome the insight of traditional clustering methods by proposing a two-phase training deep framework. The first phase consists of a generative adversarial network (GAN) used as a feature extraction pipeline. To improve GAN's capacity, we introduced pre-defined kernel filters that encourage identifying visual edges. The second phase deploys an auxiliary classifier which clusters the extracted features. Although the proposed framework demonstrates promising results, the two-phase training increases the computation burden and the number of hyper-parameters.

description:

description: Therefore, we develop an innovative deep clustering framework capable to be optimised in a single-phase training. The GAN module is replaced with a grouping-based self-supervised learning (SSL) strategy, and by leveraging its learning process, clustering is achieved in real-time with the incorporation of mutual information as an objective function. Despite the significant high accuracy that this framework develops, the SSL strategy implements transformation schemes exclusively in visual data.

description:

description: To address this constraint, our last work focuses on developing a generic SSL method without the requirement for the definition of an explicit transformation scheme in particular datasets. To accomplish this task, an internal transformation mechanism is introduced where its formulation is not limited to specific data types and can be widely applied to visual, audio, text, or mass spectrometry data.

description: All our proposed frameworks are evaluated with detailed ablation studies, compared with the latest state-of-the-art methods, and demonstrate high clustering precision and representation learning for a broad range of datasets.
An Ubuntu Remedy for Cognitive Decolonization of Environmental Degradation
Creators: name: MOGAJI, RIDWAN ISHOLA
Publisher: name: figshare

subject: Environmental philosophy

description: The issue of environmental degradation globally is considered endemic to human well-being and the environment. This, over the years has attracted various responses from diverse spheres; cultural, religious, and philosophical perspectives. They highlight the role of belief systems in shaping environmental ethics, with much emphasis on stewardship and communitarian values. However, despite all attempts to contain this global issue, persistent psychological barriers, particularly confirmation bias and anchoring bias, continue to hinder progress in addressing environmental degradation. Informed by this problem, this paper examines how these biases in this context built on anthropocentrism, prevent individuals and societies from adopting sustainable behaviors despite global campaigns and awareness of climate change and its effects. Considering that many proposed solutions have failed to adequately address the psychological factors that reinforce environmentally destructive habits, this paper establishes that it is contingent on the lack of a comprehensive approach to recognizing and at the same time overcoming these mental barriers. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes the philosophy of Ubuntu as a remedy for mental decolonization, by encouraging a turn from human-centered thinking to a more interconnected, holistic view of nature. To this end, this study analyses the intersection between psychological biases and environmental ethics, and at the end shows how the Ubuntu philosophy could remedy the problem that exists. The paper argues that by adopting Ubuntu, individuals can deconstruct biases like confirmation and anchoring, which enables them to build a mindset that views the environment as a co-tenant of the Earth rather than a resource for neither exploitation nor abuse. This shift not only addresses the psychological barriers to environmental preservation but also promotes sustainable, ethical practices through a collective sense of responsibility.

Black horizons and integrability in string theory.
Creators: name: Fontanella, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is devoted to the study of geometric aspects of black holes and integrable structures in string theory. In the first part, symmetries of the horizon and its bulk extension will be investigated. We investigate the horizon conjecture beyond the supergravity approximation, by considering alpha prime corrections of heterotic supergravity in perturbation theory, and show that standard global techniques can no longer be applied. A sufficient condition to establish the horizon conjecture will be identified. As a consequence of our analysis, we find a no-go theorem for AdS2 backgrounds in heterotic theory. The bulk extension of a prescribed near-horizon geometry will then be considered in various theories. The horizon fields will be expanded at first order in the radial coordinate. The moduli space of radial deformations will be proved to be finite dimensional, by showing that the moduli must satisfy elliptic PDEs. In the second part, geometric aspects and spectral properties of integrable anti-de Sitter backgrounds will be discussed. We formulate a Bethe ansatz in AdS2 x S2 x T6 type IIB superstring, overcoming the problem of the lack of pseudo-vacuum state affecting this background. In AdS3 x S3 x T4 type IIB superstring, we show that the S-matrix is annihilated by the boost generator of the q-deformed Poincarè superalgebra, and interpret this condition as a parallel equation for the S-matrix with respect to a connection on a fibre bundle. This hints that the algebraic problem associated with the scattering process can be geometrically rewritten. This allows us to propose a Universal S-matrix.
