description: We consider a strictly stationary sequence of random vectors whose finite-dimensional distributions are jointly regularly varying with some positive index. This class of processes includes, among others, ARMA processes with regularly varying noise, GARCH processes with normally or Student-distributed noise and stochastic volatility models with regularly varying multiplicative noise. We define an analog of the autocorrelation function, the extremogram, which depends only on the extreme values in the sequence. We also propose a natural estimator for the extremogram and study its asymptotic properties under $α$-mixing. We show asymptotic normality, calculate the extremogram for various examples and consider spectral analysis related to the extremogram.

The effect of decerebration on the reflex response to left atrial distension
Creators: name: Albrook, Sally Milton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An increase in heart rate brought about by stimulation of the re centers at the junction of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium in dogs has been reported by Ledsome and Linden, (1964). Although extensive experimentation has shown the afferent pathway for such tachycardia is in the vagus nerve, and efferent impulses appear to travel via the cardiac sympathetics, the location of central synapses, and the degree of central control necessary for its existence are not known. Also unknown is the significance of this cardiovascular control mechanism in the unanaesthetized animal. The series of experiments described in this paper were designed to answer both these questions. A method for decerebrating mongrel dogs (8-18 Kg) by electrocoagulation was devised which avoided traumatic loss of blood, leaving a stable decerebrate preparation. The tachycardia initiated by the inflation of small balloons at the junction of the pulmonary veins with the left atrium was found to be unchanged by such a midcollicular decerebration. Both magnitude and neural characteristics of the increase in heart rate were unaltered. However, careful studies of these characteristics with both drugs and lesions of the spinal cord, revealed a discrepancy with previous reports. The tachycardia produced by balloon inflation could not be totally abolished by the infusion of the sympathetic blocking agent propranolol, either before or after decerebration. In addition small, but significant, increases in heart rate remained upon section of the spinal cord at the level of the first cervical vertebra. These results indicated that the efferent pathway for this reflex, though predominantly relayed by the cardiac sympathetics, may possess a vagal component. Using the same decerebrate preparation, two volatile anaesthetics were used to study the effects of anaesthetics on the response to balloon inflation. Halothane, or a nitrous oxide-sodium pentothal combination were administered prior to decerebration, then discontinued at completion of the section. Throughout the duration of both anaesthetics, cardiovascular reflexes such as the carotid sinus reflex, were depressed. The left atrial reflex was similarly small or absent as compared to dogs under chloralose anaesthesia. Removal of the anaesthetic circuit after successful decerebration coincided with the appearance of small but significant increases in heart rate at balloon inflation, and typical carotid sinus activity at occlusion of the carotid arteries. Neither reflex attained the magnitudes observed in dogs under chloralose anaesthesia, despite prolonged waiting, up to six hours after decerebration.

description: We report density dependent instabilities in the localised regime of mesoscopic two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) with intermediate strength of background disorder. They are manifested by strong resistance oscillations induced by high perpendicular magnetic fields B_{\perp}. While the amplitude of the oscillations is strongly enhanced with increasing B_{\perp}, their position in density remains unaffected. The observation is accompanied by an unusual behaviour of the temperature dependence of resistance and activation energies. We suggest the interplay between a strongly interacting electron phase and the background disorder as a possible explanation.

Moreover, we show that 2-bridge links having such an epimorphism between their link groups are related by a map between the ambient spaces which only have a certain specific kind of singularity. We show applications of these epimorphisms to the character varieties for 2-bridge links and pi_1-dominating maps among 3-manifolds.

\Financial misconduct\" : the capacity of matrimonial property law to provide a remedy"
Creators: name: Alford, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In order to prevent a husband from co-ercing his wife into transferring her separate estate to him, in the late eighteenth century Lord Thurlow created an exception to the general rule that equity declares void any attempt to impose a direct restraint upon a disponee's powers of alienation. Henceforth a practice developed whereby property transferred for the separate use of a married woman was given \without power of anticipation\" although a similarly worded limitation would suffice. The married woman was thereby disabled during coverture from alienating the property or anticipating its future income. Just as the restraint protected the wife against a predatory husband it also operated against her creditors. While she could devise or bequeath the property in question she could neither sell nor mortgage it not could her creditors claim it in satisfaction of any debts she might have owed them. Courts of equity had no jurisdiction to override or modify a particular restraint on alienation in the interests of the married woman who was subject to it. Because of the basic economic changes caused by the Industrial Revolution with its attendant specialisation of the labour and concentration of production in factories society also changed. It became more mobile and more urbanized and many wives gained employment in the new factories. Very little production was now carried out in the home and the husband away-at work for long periods found that his power position in the family was weakened. Since changes in the family had economic causes these were most likely to be reflected in that field of the law most closely tied to the economy that is property. As the wife began to receive income (and in some cases accumulate property) reform of the common law doctrine of coverture was imperative. Well-to-do women could enjoy the benefits of property drafted marriage settlements incorporating the equitable notions of separate estate and restraints on anticipation but poorer women lacked these advantages and to the extent that they had assets they suffered the full rigours of the common law."

description: This review investigates how the unconscious information processing can create satisfactory learning outcomes, and can be used to ameliorate the challenges of teaching students to regulate their learning processes. The search for the ideal model of human information processing as regards achievement of teaching and learning objectives is a recurring issue in educational studies. Although conscious processes are more conducive to the objectives than unconscious processes, they do not necessarily result in satisfactory learning of instructional messages. Studies reviewed here show that the unconscious can play a facilitatory role in the encoding, storage, retrieval processes of information and learning activities, even when the conscious fails to achieve this. To take advantages of both conscious and unconscious processes, relevant literature suggests educators utilizing visual teaching aids that optimize use of working memory capacity and allow students to form mental imageries, thereby facilitating the comprehension of instructional messages.

Kallikrein-kinin system in plasma of poikilotherm vertebrates
Creators: name: Dunn, Rex Stewart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The little studied plasma kallikrein-kinin system of poikilotherm vertebrates was investigated in several species offish, amphibians, and reptiles, and compared to the well-known mammalian enzyme system. It was found that the plasmas of all fish and amphibians tested differed from reptilian and mammalian plasma in their inability to release a kinin-like factor when reacted with trypsin or glass, and no evidence was obtained to suggest that these plasmas contain enzymic machinery which can produce a kinin. However, it was shown that heat-denatured plasma from these animals did develop biological activity when treated with hog pancreas kallikrein, an enzyme specific for releasing kinins. Thus, the equivalent of a kininogen might exist in these plasmas. Since turtle plasma produced a kinin by endogenous enzymes, detailed studies of this system were conducted. By a variety of criteria, enzymic mechanisms for kinin production in this plasma were closely similar to those of mammalian plasma. However, purification of the turtle kinin released by endogenous enzymes, followed by pharmacological and chemical tests showed that this kinin was chemically different from bradykinin, its mammalian counterpart. Data obtained from amino acid analysis of the peptide, and from certain pharmacological tests, strongly suggested that the structure of turtle kininis 6-thr-bradykinin; i.e., that a threonine residue has been substituted for a serine . The possible significance of this finding is discussed. Preliminary studies of the pharmacological effects of bradykinin on aspects of blood pressure and flow in the turtle itself are described. Intra-arterial injections of bradykinin over a wide range of doses always produced a press or response which could be greatly reduced by adrenergic blockade. This is in contrast with the effect of, the peptide in mammals, where there is typically a hypotensive response which cannot be reduced by adrenergic blockade. The significance of this difference is discussed, and approaches to future investigations are suggested.

description: The basic means of influence of the organs of Russian state authority upon the functioning of non-governmental organizations defending human rights is legislative activity. It was with the help of this acitvity that a base was built from the very beginning, thanks to which many non-governmental organizations could be revived or born. From the point of view of the Russian authorities, non-governmental human rights organizations occupy a special place, which has been perceived for 15 years not as support for the ruling elite in the difficult way of
shaping a modern state and a democratic society, but as a threat to the functioning status quo. One cannot therefore not get the impression that the regulations concerning the third sector are primarily aimed at hindering or even preventing the activities of non-governmental organizations defending human rights. However, before the vector turned in the policy towards the third sector, in the
first period of 1991-1999 we had a positive attitude of the state towards the development of the social sector. The presented article is designed to bring closer the first period of interaction between the state authorities and non-governmental organizations defending human rights, resulting in activities aiming to “regulate” the legal situation of the third sector in the Russian Federation.

description: The European Agroforestry Federation (EURAF) lobbied before the plenary parliamentary session on the revised LULUCF Regulation that MEPs should retain the commitment to carbon neutrality in the integrated “Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use” (AFOLU) sector by 2035: with this integrated sector following IPCC guidelines from 20 years ago.  While the neutrality commitment was removed by Parliament, EURAF is happy with the mentions of agroforestry in the Regulation and feels that a large programme of planting of Trees outside Forests (ToF) is needed immediately if the enhanced EU target of -310 M tonnes CO2 equivalent sequestration is to be met by 2030.

description: Zu Formen und Folgen prekärer Beschäftigung liegen umfangreiche sozialwissenschaftliche Kenntnisse vor. Sehr viel weniger wissen wir hingegen über die sozialen Kontexte, die das Gefährdungs- und Ausgrenzungspotential unsicherer Erwerbsbeteiligung entscheidend bestimmen. Insbesondere der Haushalt als Lebenszusammenhang und Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft bedarf diesbezüglich deutlich stärkerer soziologischer Aufmerksamkeit. Deshalb stehen Bewältigungsstrategien von Haushalten, die mit prekären Beschäftigungswirklichkeiten konfrontiert sind, und die Frage, inwieweit unsichere Beschäftigungsformen prekäre Muster der Haushalts- und Lebensführung hervorbringen, im Mittelpunkt eines DFG-Forschungsprojekts am Soziologischen Forschungsinstitut (SOFI) Göttingen. Zentrale Fragen des Projekts lauten: Bildet der Haushalt eine Kraftquelle, um prekäre Arbeits- und Lebenssituationen bewältigen zu können oder wirkt er eher als Prekaritätsbeschleuniger? Welche Rolle spielen zudem Unterstützungsformen von außen (z.B. soziale Nahbeziehungen, öffentliche Infrastrukturangebote, staatliche Transferleistungen)? Kommt es aufgrund der Veränderung der Lebensformen und Haushaltsstrukturen zu einem Bedeutungsgewinn familiärer Bindungen oder sozialer Netzwerke bei der Bewältigung prekärer sozialer Lagen? Um diese Fragen beantworten zu können, werden im Projekt unterschiedliche Haushaltskonstellationen, die von unsicheren Beschäftigungsformen getragen werden, mittels biografisch-narrativer Haushaltsinterviews untersucht. Der Schwerpunkt wird damit von Individualbiografien auf Haushalte, auf deren gemeinsame Geschichte sowie auf deren Lebensführungsmuster und Bewältigungsstrategien verschoben. Das Projekt erweitert damit den Blick auf die sozialen Folgen prekärer Beschäftigung: Prekarität wird nicht mehr als individuelles Problem betrachtet, sondern als eine kollektive Herausforderung im Haushaltskontext.

description: The strong electromagnetic fields of short duration associated with relativistic heavy ions make a heavy-ion collider a unique tool to study two-photon and photonuclear collisions. In this talk, we introduce the principles of photoproduction at hadron colliders, review recent results from RHIC on meson and e$^+$e$^-$ production. At RHIC, STAR has studied exclusive $ρ^{0}$ vector meson production and $ρ^{0}$ production accompanied by electromagnetic dissociation of both nuclei in collisions of AuAu at 62, 130 and 200 GeV. Recent results suggest the validity of the Glauber calculations for the vector meson photoproduction and incosistency of the model based on the parton saturation phenomenon. The measurements are a lso sensitive to interference between production on the two nuclei: either ion can be the photon emitter or the target. The level of observed interference suggests that the final state wave function carries information about all possible decays long after the decay occurs. We also observe coherent photoproduction of a $π^{+}π^{-}π^{+}π^{-}$ state which may be associated with $ρ^{0*}$ (1450).

An application of algebra to the semantics of programming languages
Creators: name: Baker-Finch, C A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation investigates the use of the algebraic style of abstract data type specifications for the definition of programming language semantics. The choice of appropriate mathematical models for such presentations is an important aspect of this work largely because the semantics of programming languages will generally be defined in terms of domains that are more complex than those required for dealing with more elementary data types. The relationship between initial algebra semantics and the proposed style of specification is explored. From this foundation, the intuitive notion of the congruence of a pair of semantic definitions can be inspected and formalised against an algebraic background. Using the formal definition so developed and the simple but powerful notion of initiality, proofs of congruence are possible for semantics that are not amenable to the more traditional techniques of structural and fixed-point induction. Finally the problem of establishing the correctness of a compiler is investigated, reworking the traditional \commuting square\" approach for the style of semantic presentation developed in this thesis rather than the usual initial algebra style. This allows a clearer focus on some of the shortcomings of the commuting square notion."

description: Policy Briefing #17 (v4) considers the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance and coherence of the 2023 LULUCF Regulation and concludes: a) that emissions reporting and targets should be integrated across the land sector in an "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use" metric - as has been recommended by IPCC since 2006, and b) that national AFOLU reporting should be integrated with carbon farming reporting methods using the CAP Land Parcel Information System (LPIS), extended to include forest parcels (as in Spain).  Integrating all rural land use data in this way will also facilitate the accurate implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation in Europe, and could be a precursor to the introduction of an AFOLU-ETS Regulation and expansion of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism for imports of timber and foodstuffs.

DOK handles his grief by wandering from place to place, whereas Jim finds solace through alcohol. They meet up two years later in the town of Ayre. Jim, a reporter, is there to cover DOK's arrest by Special Agent Bill Withers. Jim is unaware that DOK, real name Daniel, is his brother. In quick succession: DOK is released from jail, Withers runs a drunken Jim off the road, and DOK finds and treats Jim. Jim, while unconscious, recalls how DOK's wife and child were actually killed. DOK, in the meantime, decides to give himself up, but before he can, he saves several children injured in a collision caused by Withers. Withers, knowing he's about to die, tells the sheriff what Jim recalled when he became conscious.

It is shown how the partonic content of various structure functions gets redefined when the assumption of charge symmetry is relaxed. We review various theoretical and phenomenological models for charge symmetry violation in parton distribution functions. We summarize the current experimental upper limits on charge symmetry violation in parton distributions. A series of experiments are presented, which might reveal partonic charge symmetry violation, or alternatively might lower the current upper limits on parton charge symmetry violation.

description: Introduction: The study of the motor coordination is approached in several scientific areas as the motor learning, the motor control and the motor development. This makes possible, to check of the degree of the coordinative development in children and young, and later, to suggest intervention measures to correct the detected inadequacies. Objectives: In this investigation it’s interesting to identify the children with motor weakness or coordination inadequacy. Like this, we intended to characterize the capacity of motor coordination in children and to compare the medium values found among normal children and with hearing loss. Methodology and Results: The sample was constituted by 40 children distributed equally in two groups denominated study group (GE), with average of age of 8,88 ± 1,22 years, and group control (GC), with average of 9,34 ±1,00 year-old age. The coordination was evaluated through the battery of tests of corporal coordination (Körperkoordinationtest für Kinder - KTK), being the analyzed results, besides the descriptive measures, for the inference statistics ANOVA and the test Kruskal-Wallis. Conclusions: It is verified that the children with hearing impairment presented medium values of the motor acting inferior to the medium values obtained in normal children of this sample. These results justify the accomplishment of the interventions and futures studies in this population.

While this thesis is primarily concerned with Dickens's use of madness as a literary device, the first chapter discusses his ideas in relation both to literary tradition and to contemporary social and medical views of insanity. From the literary tradition the Victorians received several conventional uses of madness, together with an interest in portraying the unusual or abnormal in human behaviour. However, not only were these literary conventions modified by new medical and sociological developments relating to insanity, but the novelists' portrayal of the more progressive attitudes was also influenced by the demands of the novel as a form. The Idiot figure is perhaps the most potent example of a traditional symbol of madness. The second chapter examines the characteristics of this traditional figure and the difficulties that Dickens experienced in attempting to adapt it to suit the requirements of the Victorian novel. To circumvent these difficulties, the role hitherto assigned to the Idiot figure was increasingly transposed to more ordinary characters who could be embraced within the social framework of the novel. This transposition worked with varying degrees of success. In melodramatic fiction before Dickens, madness had been used chiefly as a form of punishment. Dickens's interest in the criminal mind led naturally to an interest in madness and criminality: chapter III demonstrates the ways in which he modified a conventional approach. This development involved an increasing exploration of the actual mental state of a criminal; an exploration that evoked sympathy with the criminal's condition and raised questions about environmental conditioning and criminal responsibility. Chapter IV examines the ways in which Dickens began to use madness as a symptom of a society in which much had gone wrong. Madness acquired a new symbolic status in novels in which it could be integrated thematically to reinforce social attacks. This resulted in tentative explorations of the psychotic states of characters who could not adjust to the social pressures of Victorian society. The more Dickens's portrayals of madness reflected serious concerns in the novels, the less conventional their presentation became. This increasingly serious use of madness in fiction affected what had previously been one of its simplest uses - the portrayal of insanity and eccentricity for comic purposes. Chapter V discusses Dickens's progression from using madness primarily as comic relief to his using it to express the fundamental alienation of eccentric characters from the society in which they live. This sharpened the question of society's responsibility for the madness of people within it.

description: Aktuelle Ergebnisse der allgemeinen Professionalisierungstheorie weisen darauf hin, dass die Semantik der Interprofessionalität uneinheitlich, jedoch zumeist zur Durchsetzung praktischer Interessen verwendet wird. Noch nicht professionalisierte oder deprofessionalisierte Prozesse scheinen durch die Qualifizierung als "interprofessionell" indiziert und zugleich maskiert. Dass die Interprofessionalitätssemantik aber nicht zwingend eine strategisch-manipulative sein muss, zeigen spezifische Analysen aus dem Feld professionalisierbaren Handelns, die wir hier kurz vorstellen. In der Praxis sind Formen der Abgrenzung von Professionen wie der Übergabe des Problems unausweichlich. Wechselseitiges Wissen einerseits um Potentiale anderer Professionen, andererseits um die Frage, wann für welche Profession etwas zum Fall werden soll, ist notwendig. Der Fallbegriff ist also zentral. Es muss darum gehen, die Ressourcen eines Klienten abzuschätzen. Gemeinsamkeit kann hier erreicht, aber kaum allein organisatorisch bewerkstelligt werden (was manifest wird etwa in der Überbetonung des Teams), sondern bedarf des Ermessens und Abwägens, produktiv oder eben nicht produktiv intervenieren zu können. Dieser Ermessensspielraum fusst auf einer unspezifischen Verpflichtung gegenüber dem Wohl des Klienten.

description: Linear ARCH (LARCH) processes were introduced by Robinson [J. Econometrics 47 (1991) 67--84] to model long-range dependence in volatility and leverage. Basic theoretical properties of LARCH processes have been investigated in the recent literature. However, there is a lack of estimation methods and corresponding asymptotic theory. In this paper, we consider estimation of the dependence parameters for LARCH processes with non-summable hyperbolically decaying coefficients. Asymptotic limit theorems are derived. A central limit theorem with $\sqrt{n}$-rate of convergence holds for an approximate conditional pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator. To obtain a computable version that includes observed values only, a further approximation is required. The computable estimator is again asymptotically normal, however with a rate of convergence that is slower than $\sqrt{n}.$

description: Gaussian process models are popular tools in a variety of fields, both within and outside of statistics. As contemporary datasets grow larger and more complex, several new challenges become more exigent and problematic---particularly the problem of flexibly modeling covariance structure and scaling up estimation procedures to massive datasets. This dissertation covers three contributions, organized by chapter, made towards mitigating these issues from the perspectives of numerics, computation, and methodology. Moreover, it provides some evidence for the value of more flexible models and careful estimation procedures, which pose new practical and theoretical challenges. The first chapter provides an example method and demonstration for building expressive covariance models, which are an important component of taking real data seriously. The second turns to a more technical question of computing derivatives of Bessel functions with respect to order parameters, so that one can optimize Matern log-likelihoods with derivatives. The third and final chapter provides new methodology exploiting approximate sparsity in precision matrices in models with additional noise that, if not handled carefully, severely damages the quality of such sparse approximations.

description: Global Historical Sociology (GHS) ist ein relativ junges Phänomen und setzt sich kritisch mit der Idee auseinander, die Welt sei aus fixen Einheiten zusammengesetzt (Gesellschaften bzw. Staaten), denen bestimmte Charakteristika (Variablen) eigen sind. Vielmehr sei eine Welt der sich wandelnden Verräumlichungen sozialer Interaktionen und eine Welt der sich historisch entfaltenden und ablösenden Konstruktionen sozialer Objekte bzw. Beziehungen der Ausgangspunkt für die GHS. Diese Agenda nimmt Diskussionen aus der Globalgeschichte seit den späten 1980er Jahren auf. GHS und Globalgeschichte stehen vor der Herausforderung, wie sie die unter Globalisierungsbedingungen beschleunigt ablaufende Neuverräumlichung der Welt erfassen und welche Rolle sie selbst in der gegenwärtig zu beobachtenden Proliferation von Raumsemantiken spielen wollen. Der sogenannte spatial turn hat viele Disziplinen inspiriert. Gleichwohl wirkt noch immer die Hierarchisierung nach, die sich um 1900 entfaltete und in der sich der Nationalstaat alle anderen Formen der Verräumlichung unterordnete und eine passende Semantik etabliert wurde, die für viele Disziplinen bis heute weitgehend konstitutiv geblieben ist. Wir entwickeln dagegen ein Kategoriensystem, das Verräumlichungsprozesse, territoriale und nicht-territoriale Raumformate sowie eine tendenziell globale Raumordnung in einen systematischen Zusammenhang bringt und dessen historischen Wandel beobachtet. Das im Mittelpunkt dieses Vortrags stehende Kategoriensystem versucht dabei eine Beschreibungssprache für die räumliche Verfasstheit sozialer Interaktionen zu entwerfen, die sich von der Prägung durch eine spezifische (westliche) historische Erfahrung emanzipiert, statt diese unreflektiert zugrunde zu legen.

description: The European project of modernity is usually associated with the development of nation-states (of citizenship bound to territoriality as Weber put it), but is better understood as founded through colonial endeavours, that is of empires rather than nations. In this context, the 'modern' is, in fact, the 'colonial modern', where territoriality involved domination and preferential inclusion for 'domestic' populations within a racialized political community across borders. This has implications for how we think about sociology and its associated concepts and categories. In this contribution, I question the association of Europe with progress and seek to demonstrate how the very structuring of our discipline makes it difficult to account for illiberal practices both within and outwith the continent. Whereas ethno-nationalism is usually perceived as a feature of postcolonial 'new' nations, we can also understand it to be a feature of Europe after (and through) empire. A 'connected sociologies' approach that recognizes Europe's constitution through colonialism would provide us with more adequate resources for dealing with the problems that currently face us.

description: Am Leitfaden der Konzepte Interaktion/(Inter‑)Agency diskutiert der Beitrag verschiedene sozialtheoretische Optionen, um humanimalische Sozialitäten zu erfassen. Die knapp skizzierten Theorieoptionen (Max Weber, George H. Mead, jüngerer Symbolischer Interaktionismus, Bruno Latour, Erving Goffman) werden dabei an Hand zweier Analysedimensionen klassifiziert: Im Hinblick (a) auf die anthropologische Differenz werden asymmetrisierende von symmetrisierenden Positionen unterschieden, mit Blick (b) auf den handlungstheoretischen Grundansatz stellt der Beitrag "intentionalistische" Zugänge "relationistisch" ausgerichteten Zugriffsweisen gegenüber. Der Beitrag schließt mit dem Vorschlag, für soziologische animal studies stärker als bislang kritische Relektüren soziologischer Klassiker (wie zum Beispiel E. Goffman) nutzbar zu machen.
