Statesmen in the arena: The policy and politics of the ancient games
Creators: name: Whalen, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2016
Subjects: Olympic games (Ancient)
Athletics - Greece - History
Athletics - Rome - History

description: The intent of this work is to illuminate the many ways in which policy and politics influenced the games of Ancient Greece and Rome, and to demonstrate their importance  in understanding the persistence of the games beyond their religiously driven origins. Utilizing numerous ancient sources, this thesis seeks to fill an academic gapamongst the contemporary studies of the ancient sporting world. While many of such works have perceived the games through the lens of the spectator and athlete, this work will take a different approach; focusing on the games from the perspective of the statesman and administrator.  The sporting contests of the ancient world were not always the elaborate and populated spectacles of which we are most familiar. Spawned from early religious practices in festivities, funeral rights, and public holidays, their origins were much more humble. Gradually nevertheless, the administrators of these early games began to utilize the popularity and power of the games for other purposes. In the construction of stadiums, the  vast markets that surrounded the events, and the assemblage of citizens, the games became as much tools of public planning, economic development, and public relations as they did spectacle. Furthermore, politicians of each civilizations respective peaks were able to  effectively contrive the games for personal political benefits. As such, the following thesis seeks to highlight many of the relationships and long term historical trends that tie the games of the Hellenes and the Populus Romanus to the world of politics and policy. In doing so a new perspective on the games is presented, and an explanation for their continuation outside the realm of entertainment is highlighted.

description: The Zadko Telescope is a 1 m f/4 Cassegrain telescope, situated in the state of Western Australia about 80 km north of Perth. The facility plays a niche role in Australian astronomy, as it is the only meter class facility in Australia dedicated to automated follow-up imaging of alerts or triggers received from different external instruments/detectors spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Furthermore the location of the facility at a longitude not covered by other meter class facilities provides an important resource for time critical projects. This paper reviews the status of the Zadko facility and science projects since it began robotic operations in March 2010. We report on major upgrades to the infrastructure and equipment (2012-2014) that has resulted in significantly improved robotic operations. Secondly, we review the core science projects, which include automated rapid follow-up of gamma ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows, imaging of neutrino counterpart candidates from the ANTARES neutrino observatory, photometry of rare (Barbarian) asteroids, supernovae searches in nearby galaxies. Finally, we discuss participation in newly commencing international projects, including the optical follow-up of gravitational wave candidates from the U.S. and European gravitational wave observatory network, and present first tests for very low latency follow-up of fast radio bursts. In the context of these projects, we outline plans for a future upgrade that will optimise the facility for alert triggered imaging from the radio, optical, high-energy, neutrino and gravitational wave bands.

description: Abstract:
Ozone pretreatment studies of four model phenolic compounds were conducted to evaluate the effects of ozonation on the anaerobic biodegradability and toxicity of these compounds. Two types of batch studies, the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) and the Anaerobic Toxicity Assay (ATA), were performed on samples ozonated upon phenol, o-cresol, 2,5-dichlorophenol, and 2,4-dinitrophenol.
Experimental results showed that toxic and refractory phenolic compounds were converted to methane gas by means of preozonation. In general, the biodegradable fraction of the oxidation products increased as the ozone dose was increased. However, ozonation to achieve at least 60% COD reduction was necessary to faciliate methane production. Ozonation reduced the toxicity of 2,5-DCP and 2,4-DNP on both acetate utilization and phenol degradation. The early ozonation products of o-cresol and phenol, however, were more toxic than the initial compounds. The rates of COD and DOC reduction through ozonation were faster and products formed were less inhibitory in the basic pH range than in the acid pH range.

description: The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in the shutdown of athletic training facilities. Although the effects of these restrictions on daily activity and sleep patterns have been widely analyzed, the employed tools often lacked accuracy, and were based on subjective measures. This study assessed the effects of home confinement on objective physical activity (PA), physiological and sleep parameters in active individuals. Sixteen male elite fitness coaches (age: 29±3 years; height: 183±6 cm; body mass: 82±5 kg, body mass index: 24.7±1.8 kg/m2) participated in this retrospective study. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to analyze selected PA, physiological and sleep parameters collected by smartwatch (Garmin Fenix 6 pro, USA) data during four consecutive months [i.e., pre-confinement, 1st and 2nd months of confinement, and post-confinement, year 2020]. Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) month occurred during the 2nd month of confinement. Compared to pre-confinement, significant changes were registered for almost all parameters during the 1st and/or the 2nd month of confinements (p<0.001), with (i) higher values for resting heart rate, sleep latency, and total, light and rapid eye movements sleep times (% change=7-523 %), and (ii) lower values for PA parameters, calories/day spent, average and highest respiratory rates, and deep sleep time during the home confinement period (% change=5-36 %). During the post-confinement month, all parameters regained pre-confinement values. In conclusion, home confinement-induced detraining negatively influenced the objective measurements of cardiorespiratory and sleep parameters among fitness coaches with a deeper effect during the 2nd month of home confinement, possibly due to the effect of RIF.

description: We study the well-known problem of combinatorial classification of fullerenes. By a (mathematical) fullerene we mean a convex simple three dimensional polytope with all facets pentagons and hexagons. We analyse approaches of construction of arbitrary fullerene from the dodecahedron (a fullerene $C_{20}$). A growth operation is a combinatorial operation that substitutes the patch with more facets and the same boundary for the patch on the surface of a simple polytope to produce a new simple polytope. It is known that an infinite set of different growth operations transforming fullerenes into fullerenes is needed to construct any fullerene from the dodecahedron. We prove that if we allow a polytope to contain one exceptional facet, which is a quadrangle or a heptagon, then a finite set of growth operation is sufficient. We analyze pairs of objects: a finite set of operations, and a family of acceptable polytopes containing fullerenes such that any polytope of the family can be obtained from the dodecahedron by a sequence of operations from the corresponding set. We describe explicitly three such pairs. First two pairs contain seven operations, and the last -- eleven operations. Each of these operations corresponds to a finite set of growth operations and is a composition of edge- and two edges-truncations.

description: The temperature-dependent behavior of magnetic domains plays an essential role in the magnetic properties of materials, leading to widespread applications. However, experimental methods to access the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic domain structures are very limited, especially for antiferromagnets. Over the past decades, the spin-orbit Mott insulator iridate $Sr_2IrO_4$ has attracted particular attention because of its interesting magnetic structure and analogy to superconducting cuprates. Here, we apply resonant x-ray magnetic Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to track the real-space 3D evolution of antiferromagnetic ordering inside a $Sr_2IrO_4$ single crystal as a function of temperature, finding that the antiferromagnetic domain shows anisotropic changes. The anisotropy of the domain shape reveals the underlying anisotropy of the antiferromagnetic coupling strength within $Sr_2IrO_4$. These results demonstrate the high potential significance of 3D domain imaging in magnetism research.

description: An architecture of a new neuro-fuzzy system is proposed. The basic idea of this approach is to tune both synaptic weights and membership functions with the help of the supervised learning and self-learning paradigms. The approach to solving the problem has to do with evolving online neuro-fuzzy systems that can process data under uncertainty conditions. The results prove the effectiveness of the developed architecture and the learning procedure.

description: Clerambault syndrome, also known as erotomania, is a rare mental disorder in which a person has the delusional belief that another person, usually of higher social status or celebrity, is in love with them.Drug treatment for Clerambault syndrome usually includes antipsychotics, which are often prescribed to treat delusional symptoms associated with Clerambault syndrome. These medications can help reduce the intensity of delusional beliefs.Additionally, it is important to address any underlying disorders that may be contributing to Clerambault syndrome.Treatment of Clerambault syndrome can be challenging, as patients often hold on to their delusional beliefs and may be resistant to seeking help.
Resolving the culture conundrum: a conceptual framework for the management of culture in TESOL
Creators: name: Williams, Alan
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: The thesis explores the place of culture in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). The study originally set out to investigate the ways in which teachers understand culture and deal with it in their teaching of English. A survey of teachers found that while the teachers had sophisticated understandings about culture and its relationship with language at a general level, they did not have clear understandings about how cultural teaching can be enacted in the classroom. This conundrum was also evident in the literature on teaching culture in TESOL. An extensive survey of the literature found that while there are a number of different perspectives on how culture can be understood and dealt with in TESOL, none of these provide a comprehensive basis for the understandings teachers need for the practicalities of teaching. The focus of the study shifted from an investigation of professional development to the articulation of a conceptual framework to inform teachers in the way they can manage the teaching of culture. The framework draws on some significant insights of one of the perspectives in the literature, Intercultural Language Teaching, as well as some insights from other perspectives. The framework identifies dimensions in which teachers need to understand how culture can be manifest and managed in TESOL. For each dimension a number of factors on which decisions need to be made are identified. The framework also identifies a number of principles to guide teachers in their decision-making about the teaching culture. The potential of the framework to inform the teaching of English to adult immigrants in Australia, as well as students studying English in a university in Vietnam is explored. The capacity of the framework to inform TESOL teacher education, research and theory building is also evaluated.

description: Determining the criteria that have contributed to the success or failure of a Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program has led to the publication of countless documents on lessons learned, new pathways, and revised theories. The large number of DDR reports is justified, considering the high value that a successful program would yield: DDR is the largest intervention in nearly all of the United Nations’ ongoing large-scale peacekeeping missions tasked with restoring social capital and promoting long-term peace. However, the argument also holds true in reverse: the post-conflict era risks renewed war if demobilized combatants are not properly reintegrated into society. Despite numerous lessons learned publications, reintegration programs seem to run into the same obstacles in every new context, resulting in badly implemented plans and at best suboptimal results. The constant evaluation and negative assessments suggest that we have not learned our DDR lessons; so we repeat mistakes of the past, run into unforeseen problems in the implementation phase, and face unexpected results that defy explanation. This paper critically reviews the conceptual literature on DDR/DDRRR (Disarmament, Demobilization, Repatriation, Reintegration and Resettlement) as well as practitioner/donor publications on DDR approaches and lessons learned. The review focuses mainly on programs in Africa’s Great Lakes Region, specifically the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, South Sudan, Uganda, and the Central African Republic (CAR). Reviewing a large number of works between 1990 and 2017, the paper draws conclusions on the conditions that contribute to endemic violence in the post-conflict period and the factors that make social repair possible among and within communities that have undergone acute social stress. It shows the ways in which standardized peacebuilding approaches to return within DDR programs are irrelevant to people on the ground that negotiate conflict realities, and explains how ex-combatant returnees affect local governance structures. In the end, it considers the possibility of reintegration programs dealing with ex-combatants in conflicts characterized by violent extremism.

description: Aims: To gain insight into the expected gas dynamics at the interface of the Galactic bar and spiral arms in our own Milky Way galaxy, we examine as an extragalactic counterpart the evidence for multiple distinct velocity components in the cold, dense molecular gas populating a comparable region at the end of the bar in the nearby galaxy NGC3627. Methods: We assemble a high resolution view of molecular gas kinematics traced by CO(2-1) emission and extract line-of-sight velocity profiles from regions of high and low gas velocity dispersion. Results: The high velocity dispersions arise with often double-peaked or multiple line-profiles. We compare the centroids of the different velocity components to expectations based on orbital dynamics in the presence of bar and spiral potential perturbations. A model of the region as the interface of two gas-populated orbits families supporting the bar and the independently rotating spiral arms provides an overall good match to the data. An extent of the bar to the corotation radius of the galaxy is favored. Conclusions: Using NGC3627 as an extragalactic example, we expect situations like this to favor strong star formation events such as observed in our own Milky Way since gas can pile up at the crossings between the orbit families. The relative motions of the material following these orbits is likely even more important for the build up of high density in the region. The surface densities in NGC3627 are also so high that shear at the bar end is unlikely to significantly weaken the star formation activity. We speculate that scenarios in which the bar and spiral rotate at two different pattern speeds may be the most favorable for intense star formation at such interfaces.

description: Lime hemp concrete is a sustainable building material that combines hemp shiv and building limes. The construction industry is responsible of the use of non-renewable materials, fossil, fuels, and cement, which produce high emission of carbon dioxide. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect mix composition and the size of specimen on the mechanical performance and weathering of hemp concrete. The compressive strength 7 days and 28 days of hemp concrete were measured. The results demonstrated that binder content, size of specimens and densities had a significant influence on the compressive strength at both ages. Additionally, the wetting and drying cycles had highlighted the influence of weathering experiments after 10 cycles of testing on mechanical and physical properties of hemp concrete.

Über die Notwendigkeit eines Paradigmenwechsels der didaktischen Betrachtung des Lernorts Bauernhof
Creators: name: Hepper, Jens
Publisher: name: Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft
Year: 2016

description: Bauernhofbezogene Themen sind in Niedersachsen eine Option für die Gestaltung von Biologieunterricht gemäß den curricularen Vorgaben, angefangen in der Grundschule bis hin zur Sekundarstufe I. Für diese Arbeit stellte sich die Frage, in wie weit das Thema Landwirtschaft in den schulischen Lehrplänen implementiert ist, da es jeder Schule offen steht den schulischen Arbeitsplan weitestgehend individuell zu gestalten und darüber hinaus Konkurrenz zu anderen „grünen“ Bereichen wie etwa der Forstwirtschaft bestehen können. Im Rahmen einer Online-Befragung von 179 allgemeinbildenden Lehrkräften der Biologie wurde das Nutzungsverhalten von ausserschulischen Lernorten sowie den damit verknüpften Unterrichtsinhalten untersucht. Frühere Studien deuteten daraufhin, dass in Niedersachsen die Waldpädagogik gegenüber den anderen agrarischen Themen deutlich den Vorrang haben könnte. Die vorliegende Arbeit konnte dies bestätigen; landwirtschaftliche Themen sind eher sekundärer Natur in Bezug auf die unterrichtliche Berücksichtigung. Insgesamt erscheint es so zu sein, dass aus agrardidaktischer Sicht eine gewisse Emanzipation von der Biologiedidaktik sinnvoll sein könnte, um die Möglichkeiten bauernhofbezogenen Lernens auszuschöpfen und die Kompetenzen der zielorientiert Lernenden zu fördern. Dies könnte sich insbesondere in den seitens der Fachwissenschaften beschriebenen Problemstellungen in Bezug auf Verbrauchererwartungen bezüglich der Haltung von Nutztieren niederschlagen, da hier scheinbar überwiegend landwirtschaftlich untypische Haltungsformen gegenüber den modernen Haltungssystemen überwiegen. Hierfür könnte eine weitere Professionalisierung der Bauernhofpädagogik sinnvoll zu sein.

description: In this paper, we perform a full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculation of neutralino scattering on protons or neutrons in the MSSM. We match the results of the NLO QCD calculation to the scalar and axial-vector operators in the effective field theory approach. These govern the spin-independent and spin-dependent detection rates, respectively. The calculations have been performed for general bino, wino and higgsino decompositions of neutralino dark matter and required a novel tensor reduction method of loop integrals with vanishing relative velocities and Gram determinants. Numerically, the NLO QCD effects are shown to be of at least of similar size and sometimes larger than the currently estimated nuclear uncertainties. We also demonstrate the interplay of the direct detection rate with the relic density when consistently analyzed with the program $\mathtt{DM@NLO}$.

title: On the Expected Number of Leftist Nodes in Simply Generated Trees
Creators: name: Kemp, Rainer
Publisher: name: Institut für Informatik, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen
Year: 2001

description: A node $x$ appearing in an ordered tree is said to be a leftist node if in the subtree with
root $x$, the leaf nearest to the root is the leftmost leaf of that subtree. Assuming that
all trees belonging to a family of simply generated trees with a specified number of
nodes and leaves are equally likely, we present a general approach to the computation
of the average number of leftist nodes appearing in such a tree. If the number of nodes
in a simply generated tree are specified only, that approach yields exact asymptotical
formulae for the average number of leftist nodes, for the average number of internal
leftist nodes and for the variances of the corresponding random variables. We illustrate
these general results by applying them to various families of simply generated trees,
such as $t$-ary trees, binary trees, unary-binary trees, unbalanced 2,3-trees, ordered
trees, ordered trees without unary nodes and ordered trees with even node degrees.

description: Binocular Rivalry (BR) is a perceptual phenomenon that has long been considered either as an object of observation to help understand the neurobiological mechanisms of perceptual awareness, or as a tool to disambiguate other processes or to support or falsify certain theoretical frameworks, depending on whether they are able (or not) to explain these phenomena. Some studies have proposed evidence that the perceptual processes involved in BR alternation might somehow be related to a more general functioning of an individual, including individual differences in cognitive processes, processing styles, and even personality traits. Nevertheless, the correlation has been suggested by some authors already in the last century (George, 1936; Granger, 1953; Franks and Lindahl, 1963). More recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in perceptual fluctuations and individual differences, as new studies and techniques show how these dynamics can be generated by our brains. However, we are still far from having compelling evidence for the actual relationship between BR alternation rates or dominances and higher-level constructs such as those related to personality traits. The aim of this systematic review is to clarify how much evidence there is and eventually propose how to include it in a theoretical background able to include both bistable perception and personality constructs.

description: Long-range metastable molecules consisting of two cesium atoms in high Rydberg states have been observed in an ultracold gas. A sequential three-photon two-color photoassociation scheme was employed to form these molecules in states which correlate to $np(n+1)s$ dissociation asymptotes. Spectral signatures of bound molecular states are clearly resolved at the positions of avoided crossings between long-range van der Waals potential curves. The experimental results are in agreement with simulations based on a detailed model of the long-range multipole-multipole interactions of Rydberg-atom pair states. We show that a full model is required to accurately predict the occurrence of bound Rydberg macrodimers. The macrodimers are distinguished from repulsive molecular states by their behavior with respect to spontaneous ionization and possible decay channels are discussed.

description: The peculiar role of heavy-flavour observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed. Produced in the early stage, $c$ and $b$ quarks cross the hot medium arising from the collision, interacting strongly with the latter, until they hadronize. Depending on the strength of the interaction heavy quarks may or not approach kinetic equilibrium with the plasma, tending in the first case to follow the collective flow of the expanding fireball. The presence of a hot deconfined medium may also affect heavy-quark hadronization, being possible for them to recombine with the surrounding light thermal partons, so that the final heavy-flavour hadrons inherit part of the flow of the medium. Here we show how it is possible to develop a complete transport setup allowing one to describe heavy-flavour production in high-energy nuclear collisions, displaying some major results one can obtain. Finally, the possibility that the formation of a hot deconfined medium even in small systems (high-multiplicity p-Au and d-Au collisions, so far) may affect also heavy-flavour observables is investigated.

description: Nickel and antimony co-doped Ti/SnO2 (Ti/Ni-Sb-SnO2) anodes were prepared by spray pyrolysis. Effects of nickel concentration on the structure and onset potential for oxygen evolution of Ti/Ni-Sb-SnO2 anodes have been systematically investigated. XRD analyses suggest that SnO2 thin films grow in preferential orientation along (101) plane as the nickel concentration increases. The enhanced onset potential of oxygen is above 2.4 V vs NHE due to the introduction of nickel doping, and increases slightly with the nickel concentration. The calculated results show that work function of Ni/Sb co-doped SnO2 also increases with the Ni doping level, which contributes to the enhancement of onset potential for oxygen evolution.
title: Schools “Detached” from Reality. On the Architectonics and Dynamics of Contemporary Educational Space

description: Each institutionalized social practice, including school practice, is placed in a separate temporal, spatial and situational context appropriate for itself. In this way a distance is created between school education and social reality. This distance is changing under the influence of developments in the organization of schools and social practices. A number of studies reveal the negative effects of the increasing distance between school education and social practice. The aim of this paper is to show three dimensions in which the distance between school education and social reality is formed.

description: Presentation delivered in a COAR meeting to investigate the potential for a common, distributed architecture that would connect peer review with resources in repositories. The aim of the meeting, hosted by Inria in Paris, France, past January 23-24, was to share the current workflows of various projects and systems that are managing or developing overlay peer review on a variety of different repository types (institutional, preprint, data, etc.), and assess whether there is sufficient interest in defining a set of common protocols and vocabularies that would allow interoperability across different systems. This presentation gave an overview of one of these ongoing initiatives.

description: Gravitational features are a fundamental source of information to learn more about the interior structure and composition of planets, moons, asteroids and comets. Gravitational field modeling typically approximates the target body with a sphere, leading to a representation in spherical harmonics. However, small celestial bodies are often irregular in shape, and hence poorly approximated by a sphere. A much better suited geometrical fit is achieved by a tri-axial ellipsoid. This is also mirrored in the fact that the associated harmonic expansion (ellipsoidal harmonics) shows a significantly better convergence behavior as opposed to spherical harmonics. Unfortunately, complex mathematics and numerical problems (arithmetic overflow) so far severely limited the applicability of ellipsoidal harmonics. In this paper, we present a method that allows expanding ellipsoidal harmonics to a considerably higher degree compared to existing techniques. We apply this novel approach to model the gravitational field of comet 67P, the final target of the Rosetta mission. The comparison of results based on the ellipsoidal parameterization with those based on the spheroidal and spherical approximations reveals that the latter is clearly inferior; the spheroidal solution, on the other hand, is virtually just as accurate as the ellipsoidal one. Finally, in order to generalize our findings, we assess the gravitational field modeling performance for some 400 small bodies in the solar system. From this investigation we generally conclude that the spheroidal representation is an attractive alternative to the complex ellipsoidal parameterization on the one hand, and the inadequate spherical representation on the other hand.

description: The formation of nonlinear Bloch states in open driven-dissipative system of exciton-polaritons loaded into a weak-contrast 1D periodic lattice is studied numerically and analytically. The condensate is described within the framework of mean-field theory by the coupled equations for the order parameter and for the density of incoherent excitons. The stationary nonlinear solutions having the structure of Bloch waves are studied in detail. It is shown that there is a bifurcation leading to the appearance of a family of essentially nonlinear states. The special feature of these solutions is that its current does not vanish when the quasi-momentum of the state approaches the values equal to the half of the lattice constant. To explain the bifurcations found in numerical simulations a simple perturbative approach is developed. The stability of the nonlinear states is examined by linear spectral analysis and by direct numerical simulations. An experimental scheme allowing the observation of the discussed nonlinear current states is suggested and studied by numerical simulations.

Clerical workers, enterprise bargaining and preference theory: choice & constraint
Creators: name: Thomson, Lisa
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is a case study about the choices and constraints faced by women clerical workers in a labour market where they have very little autonomy in negotiating their pay and conditions of employment. On the one hand, clerical work has developed as a feminised occupation with a history of being low in status and low paid. On the other hand, it is an ideal occupation for women wanting to combine work and family across their life cycle. How these two phenomena impact upon women clerical workers ability to negotiate enterprise agreements is the subject of this thesis. From a theoretical perspective this thesis builds upon Catherine Hakim's preference theory which explores the choices women clerical workers' make in relation to their work and family lives. Where Hakim's preference theory focuses on the way in which women use their agency to determine their work and life style choices, this thesis gives equal weighting to the impact of agency and the constraints imposed by external structures such as the availability of part-time work and childcare, as well as the impact of organisational culture.The research data presented was based on face-to-face interviews with forty female clerical workers. The clerical workers ranged in age from 21 to 59 years of age. The respondents were made up of single or partnered women without family responsibilities, women juggling work and family, and women who no longer had dependent children and were approaching retirement. This thesis contends that these clerical workers are ill placed to optimise their conditions of employment under the new industrial regime of enterprise bargaining and individual contracts. Very few of the women were union members and generally they were uninformed about their rights and entitlements.

description: We consider the limit $α\to0$ for the $α$-Euler equations in a two-dimensional bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Assuming that the vorticity is bounded in $L^p$, we prove the existence of a global solution and we show the convergence towards a solution of the incompressible Euler equation with $L^p$ vorticity. The domain can be multiply-connected. We also discuss the case of the second grade fluid when both $α$ and $ν$ go to 0.
