title: Catastrophizing life's problems: On the relationship between attachment anxiety and belief in conspiracy theories
Creators: name: Green, Ricky
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Research has shown that attachment anxiety predicts higher agreement with conspiracy theories. In this research, we aimed to examine this relationship further. Specifically, we investigated the importance of catastrophizing-viewing situations as considerably worse than they are-in explaining the relationship between attachment anxiety and belief in conspiracy theories. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the literature on the psychology of conspiracy theories and adult attachment theory. Then, across six studies (Chapter 2), we found that catastrophizing (regarding pain, stress, and social situations) explained the relationship between attachment anxiety and conspiracy beliefs. In two further studies (Chapter 3), we found that attachment anxiety and conspiracy beliefs were associated with communal orientation (the desire that one's needs should be met by others versus the desire to meet the needs of others), which was moderated by catastrophizing, across two studies. Finally, in two studies (Chapter 4), we found attachment anxiety to be partially associated with COVID-19 powerlessness and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs, whereas attachment avoidance was shown to be consistently associated with them. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed (Chapter 5), including the need for more experimental or longitudinal designs, and interventions that reduce catastrophic thinking with the aim of reducing the appeal of conspiracy theories.

title: Spectral shaping and bifurcation suppression for pulsed laser amplifiers
Creators: name: Würkner, Nikolaus
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: spectral pulse shaping
subject: feedback control
subject: adaptive control
subject: laser amplifiers
subject: ultra-short laser pulses

description: Lasers are a flexible and powerful tool in many modern technological and scientific applications. A special type of lasers used in these applications are high-energy pulsed lasers, which need special optical amplifiers to achieve the required energy levels. Amongthese amplifiers are regenerative amplifiers (RA), which use multiple passes through a gain medium to amplify incoming seed pulses. RAs can show bifurcation due to the coupling of subsequent pulses introduced by the dynamics of the stored energy of the amplifier, which is undesirable for most applications. A control oriented reduced-order mathematical model of such an amplifier is investigated in this thesis in order to suppress these bifurcations using model-based control methods. This model uses small gain estimations of the individual passes through the gain medium combined with slowly varying envelope estimates and spatial averaging to achieve a simplified state-space model of the observed dynamics. Based on this description, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) combined with an extended Kalmanfilter (EKF) is designed. The suppression of bifurcations due to feedback stabilization achieved by the LQR then enables the use of output pulse shaping techniques using iterative learning control (ILC) at arbitrary operating points. The designed system is shown to achieve pulse shaping for different operating points while staying within the input constraints introduced by the optical filter.

description: We present asset ownership estimates for men and women from Georgia, Mongolia, and the Philippines using individual-level data collected through household surveys. The concept of asset ownership includes reported and documented ownership and alienation rights (right to sell and right to bequeath) over property. We find significant gender gaps in property ownership – land, dwelling, and other real estate – for reported and documented owners. Further, our results suggest a positive correlation between documented ownership and alienation rights. Women documented owners are more likely to have some alienation rights and less likely to report having no rights. Women, across countries, are also less likely to be exclusive owners of property than men. We find mixed evidence of divergence of ownership estimates for a sub-sample of households based on whether the information was collected by self-reporting or proxy-reporting. The results reinforce the usefulness of collecting high-quality individual-level asset data for a deeper understanding of economic inequality within the household and for adopting a multidimensional approach to understanding gendered property ownership. We also identify the need for deeper research on marital regimes and their impact on women’s property ownership.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to study the effects of common shocks on panel data models with endogenous explanatory variables when the cross section dimension (N) is large and the time series dimension (T) is fixed: this relies on conditional strong laws of large numbers and conditional central limit theorems. These results can act as a useful reference for readers who wish to further investigate the effects of common shocks on panel data. The paper shows that the key assumption in determining consistency of the panel TSLS and LIML estimators is the independence of the factor loadings in the reduced form errors from the factor loadings in the exogenous variables and instruments conditional on the factors. We also show that these estimators have non-standard asymptotic distributions but tests on the coefficients have standard distributions under the null hypothesis provided the estimators are consistent.
Disc formation from tidal disruptions of stars on eccentric orbits by Schwarzschild black holes

description: The potential of tidal disruption of stars to probe otherwise quiescent supermassive black holes cannot be exploited, if their dynamics is not fully understood. So far, the observational appearance of these events has been derived from analytical extrapolations of the debris dynamical properties just after disruption. By means of hydrodynamical simulations, we investigate the subsequent fallback of the stream of debris towards the black hole for stars already bound to the black hole on eccentric orbits. We demonstrate that the debris circularize due to relativistic apsidal precession which causes the stream to self-cross. The circularization timescale varies between 1 and 10 times the period of the star, being shorter for more eccentric and/or deeper encounters. This self-crossing leads to the formation of shocks that increase the thermal energy of the debris. If this thermal energy is efficiently radiated away, the debris settle in a narrow ring at the circularization radius with shock-induced luminosities of $\sim 10-10^3 \, L_{\rm Edd}$. If instead cooling is impeded, the debris form an extended torus located between the circularization radius and the semi-major axis of the star with heating rates $\sim 1-10^2 \, L_{\rm Edd}$. Extrapolating our results to parabolic orbits, we infer that circularization would occur via the same mechanism in $\sim 1$ period of the most bound debris for deeply penetrating encounters to $\sim 10$ for grazing ones. We also anticipate the same effect of the cooling efficiency on the structure of the disc with associated luminosities of $\sim 1-10 \, L_{\rm Edd}$ and heating rates of $\sim 0.1-1 \, L_{\rm Edd}$. In the latter case of inefficient cooling, we deduce a viscous timescale generally shorter than the circularization timescale. This suggests an accretion rate through the disc tracing the fallback rate, if viscosity starts acting promptly.

description: Literature has established that the alarming female poverty rate is a crucial factor contributing to missing older women in India. Given this, the following research examines the role of an unconditional cash transfer programme (Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme) implemented in India on the household budget share incurred on cereals, pulses, vegetables; fruits and nuts, meat; eggs and fish, milk and milk products when the program recipient is an elderly woman. The paper uses the longitudinal household-level data (2004–05 and 2011–12) released by the India Human Development Survey and utilises a quasi-experimental framework of propensity score matching combined with fixed effects to estimate the effects of the pension on the disaggregated food budget share incurred by the pension recipient households. The findings in this paper suggest that women’s access to pension has a positive effect on budget share allocated on vegetables, fruits and nuts and meat, fish and eggs. The positive effects persist for continuous program recipients. Further, to address any concerns on endogeneity, an instrumental variable strategy has been used. This paper provides evidence that female pension recipient households in India do move towards nutrient-rich food items.

Regulation of human atlastin by the c-terminus

description: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous membrane network that spans the entirety of the cell. It consists of a balance of sheets and tubules. Both tubules and sheets are constantly remodeled by movement along microtubules and their subsequent fusion. Because the atlastin GTPases are required for ER structure and purified Drosophila atlastin is sufficient for fusion in vitro, ER fusion in mammalian cells has been assumed to be mediated by atlastin. This has important implications for understanding why mutations in human atlastins cause disease. However, the lack of in vitro fusion activity of the human atlastins raised the question of whether it is fusogen and impeded understanding of the basis of diseases linked to mutations in atlastin. Importantly, all previous studies involved purifying the human atlastins from its non-native environment in E. coli. I was successfully able to purify human atlastins from a mammalian cell line and assay for fusion activity. I showed that human atlastin1 (ATL1) purified from mammalian cells is indeed sufficient for fusion. ATL1 exhibited fusion activity and disease variants showed alterations in fusion. This result lays the foundation for further studies of human atlastins and their disease variants in the context of the membrane. Surprisingly, the more ubiquitously expressed ATL2 paralog had negligible fusion activity. This was unexpected because the GTPase domains of ATL1 and ATL2 are 75% identical, the ATL2 soluble domain dimerizes and hydrolyses GTP at rates comparable to ATL1, and most cell types rely on ATL2/3 rather than ATL1. Sequence analysis revealed a non-conserved C-terminal extension on ATL2, and deletion of this extension restored maximal fusion activity suggesting a novel mode of regulation by the C-terminus. Charge reversal of residues in this inhibitory domain of ATL2 strongly activated its fusion activity and overexpression of this disinhibited version caused ER collapse. Finally, neurons express an alternate ATL2 splice isoform whose sequence differs in this inhibitory domain, and this form showed full fusion activity. These published findings (chapter two) reveal autoinhibition and alternate splicing as regulators of atlastin mediated ER fusion. Additional unpublished work herein investigated the role of crossover in fusion. Utilizing a FRET based approach, I sought to determine if crossover drives fusion by visualizing crossover in the context of the full-length protein in membranes. My results suggest that crossover formation is not sufficient to catalyze fusion. These data and discussion of their caveats are presented in chapter three.
Fringe Benefits, Self-Selection, and the Public/Private Compensation Differential

description: Across developing countries, many workers strive for public sector jobs. Is this because public sector workers receive higher compensation than comparable private sector workers? This study addresses this question looking at broad measures of compensation that encompass wages as well as non-wage fringe benefits such as paid leave and access to social insurances. Using detailed labour force data for Bhutan, it combines Oaxaca type decompositions of compensation differentials into characteristics and coefficients effects with multinomial logit models for self-selection into labour force participation and the public or private sector. The study finds that public/private wage differentials are sizeable but can entirely be accounted for by observable characteristics (in particular by differences in the average educational attainment and industrial structures). A sizeable public/private differential in fringe benefits related to leave can also be accounted for by differences in observable characteristics between public and private sector workers. However, this is not the case for the differential in non-leave-related fringe benefits. Instead, differentials in non-leave-related fringe benefits are largely due to coefficients effects, strongly suggesting that preferences for public sector jobs are at least in part the result of pronounced intersectoral differentials in such benefits.

description: This paper examines the role of social capital on livelihood outcomes of households forcibly displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. Drawing from in-depth interviews of 21 respondents and a cross-sectional survey of 810 household heads across 12 locations in Northeast Nigeria, the study finds that social capital provides a channel of critical psycho-social support for households. Further, the results of the structural-equation modelling indicate that bridging-linking social capital has a strong positive impact on livelihood outcomes, while the impact of bonding social capital on livelihood outcomes is partially mediated by resilience. The study contributes to recent conversations on the imperative of a triple-nexus strategy by highlighting the unique roles that social capital can play in complementary humanitarian, developmental and peace-building programming, especially in protracted crises and contexts of forced displacement where short-term material and financial interventions may not be adequate. The paper also offers practical and policy recommendations and suggestions for future research on operationalisation of social capital in protracted crises.

description: The layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable interest due to their unique electronic and optical properties. Here we report electric field induced strong electroluminescence in multi-layer MoS2 and WSe2. We show that GaN-Al2O3-MoS2 and GaN-Al2O3-MoS2-Al2O3-graphene vertical heterojunctions can be created with excellent rectification behaviour. Electroluminescence studies demonstrate prominent direct bandgap excitonic emission in multi-layer MoS2 over the entire vertical junction area. Importantly, the electroluminescence efficiency observed in multi-layer MoS2 is comparable to or even higher than that in monolayers, corresponding to a relative electroluminescence enhancement factor of >1000 in multi-layer MoS2 when compared to its photoluminescence. This striking enhancement of electroluminescence can be attributed to the high electric field induced carrier redistribution from low energy points (indirect bandgap) to high energy points (direct bandgap) of k-space, arising from the unique band structure of MoS2 with a much higher density of states at high energy points. The electric field induced electroluminescence is general for other TMDs including WSe2, and can provide a fundamental platform to probe the carrier injection, population and recombination in multi-layer TMDs and open up a new pathway toward TMD based optoelectronic devices.

description: In this paper, we propose a panel data semiparametric varying-coefficient model in which covariates (variables affecting the coefficients) are purely categorical. This model has two features: first, fixed effects are included to allow for correlation between individual unobserved heterogeneity and the regressors; second, it allows for cross-sectional dependence through a general spatial error dependence structure. We derive a semiparametric estimator for our model by using a modified within transformation, and then show the asymptotic and finite properties for this estimator. Finally, we illustrate our model by analysing the effects of state-level banking regulations on the returns to scale of commercial banks in the U.S. Our empirical results suggest that returns to scale is higher in more regulated states than in less regulated states.

description: Cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer has higher rates of postoperative complication than neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. If patients at high risk of postoperative complication were identified preoperatively, primary therapy could be tailored. Our objective was to develop a predictive model to estimate the risk of major postoperative complication after primary cytoreductive surgery among elderly ovarian cancer patients.

description: We study finitary 2-categories associated to dual projection functors for finite dimensional associative algebras. In the case of path algebras of admissible tree quivers (which includes all Dynkin quivers of type A) we show that the monoid generated by dual projection functors is the Hecke-Kiselman monoid of the underlying quiver and also obtain a presentation for the monoid of indecomposable subbimodules of the identity bimodule.

description: Circulating complement protein C3 (C3) levels have been associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus, but have yet to be evaluated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We aimed to determine whether C3 levels were elevated in women with PCOS compared to controls, and to quantify the association of C3 with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and CAC, and if PCOS modified this association. This cross-sectional analysis included 132 women with PCOS and 155 controls 35-62 years old from the third visit of a case-control study. CAC was measured during the study visit and circulating C3 was measured in stored sera. The presence of CAC and CAC categories (Agatston score 0, 1-9.9, and ≥10) were used for logistic and ordinal regression analysis, respectively. C3 levels were not significantly different between women with PCOS and controls. Among all women, C3 was associated with the presence of CAC and increasing CAC groups after adjusting for age, PCOS status, and insulin or BMI, all p<0.05. In addition, C3 was associated with the presence of CAC after adjusting for age, PCOS status, BMI, insulin and African American race, p=0.049. PCOS status did not modify these associations. In conclusion, circulating C3 levels may prove beneficial in identifying women at risk of CVD in women with PCOS and the general population.
Hazard function models to estimate mortality rates affecting fish populations with application to the sea mullet (Mugil cephalus) fishery on the Queensland coast (Australia)

description: Fisheries management agencies around the world collect age data for the purpose of assessing the status of natural resources in their jurisdiction. Estimates of mortality rates represent a key information to assess the sustainability of fish stocks exploitation. Contrary to medical research or manufacturing where survival analysis is routinely applied to estimate failure rates, survival analysis has seldom been applied in fisheries stock assessment despite similar purposes between these fields of applied statistics. In this paper, we developed hazard functions to model the dynamic of an exploited fish population. These functions were used to estimate all parameters necessary for stock assessment (including natural and fishing mortality rates as well as gear selectivity) by maximum likelihood using age data from a sample of catch. This novel application of survival analysis to fisheries stock assessment was tested by Monte Carlo simulations to assert that it provided un-biased estimations of relevant quantities. The method was applied to data from the Queensland (Australia) sea mullet (Mugil cephalus) commercial fishery collected between 2007 and 2014. It provided, for the first time, an estimate of natural mortality affecting this stock: 0.22 $\pm$ 0.08 year$^{-1}$.

description: This paper captures the labor market consequences of the Gaza Blockade (2007–), a politically motivated and unanticipated event that provides a rare opportunity for a natural experiment. I am aided by the fact that the West Bank is a natural comparison group for examining the Gaza Blockade. Using a difference-in-difference framework, I find that, relative to domestic workers in the West Bank, those in Gaza experienced an additional 11% point increase in the unemployment rate and an additional 13–20% reduction in real wages. The long-term effect (3 years later), on real wages was at least 1.5 times larger. Rising wage inequality was another consequence of the Blockade, which manifested itself in an upsurge in industry wage differentials and to a lesser extent, the skill premium. This paper also discusses the impact of the crisis on the sectoral composition of the Gazan economy, particularly as a result of the severe contraction of non-service industries in the private sector. While the Gaza Blockade constitutes an extreme case of a massive economic shock and a radical departure from the close economic integration experienced in earlier decades, the results of this study can nevertheless serve to shed light on how other open economies are likely to respond to the increasingly common imposition of restrictions on trade and factor mobility such as economic sanctions, visa restrictions, and trade wars. The effects of such barriers to trade and labor mobility are particularly dire in the absence of labor reforms designed to mitigate their adverse effects.

description: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can be classified by gene expression profiling into germinal center and activated B-cell subtypes with different prognoses after rituximab-CHOP. The importance of previously recognized prognostic markers, such as Bcl-2 protein expression and BCL2 gene abnormalities, has been questioned in the new therapeutic era. We analyzed Bcl-2 protein expression, and BCL2 and MYC gene abnormalities by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization in 327 patients with de novo disease treated with rituximab-CHOP. Isolated BCL2 and MYC rearrangements were not predictive of outcome in our patients as a whole, but only in those with the germinal center subtype of lymphoma. The prognostic relevance of isolated MYC rearrangements was weaker than that of BCL2 isolated translocations, but was probably limited by the rarity of the rearrangements. Seven of eight patients with double hit lymphoma had the germinal center subtype with poor outcome. The germinal center subtype patients with isolated BCL2 translocations had significantly worse outcome than the patients without BCL2 rearrangements (P=0.0002), and their outcome was similar to that of patients with the activated B-cell subtype (P=0.30), but not as bad as the outcome of patients with double hit lymphoma (P<0.0001). Bcl-2 protein overexpression was associated with inferior outcome in patients with germinal center subtype lymphoma, but multivariate analysis showed that this was dependent on BCL2 translocations. The gene expression profiling of patients with BCL2 rearrangements was unique, showing activation of pathways that were silent in the negative counterpart. BCL2 translocated germinal center subtype patients have worse prognosis after rituximab-CHOP, irrespective of MYC status, but the presence of combined gene breaks significantly overcomes the prognostic relevance of isolated lesions.
