title: Pre-Raphaelitism and the professional ideal : art, criticism, and sexuality
Creators: name: Priest, Robert Charles
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: This dissertation examines the professional ideal in relation to the development and transformation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood between the late 1840s and the 1880s. The first chapter examines how one might relate the recent theoretical work on nineteenth-century professionalism by Harold Perkin to the distinctive art practice of the Pre-Raphaelites. In chapter two, the discussion focuses on how the professional ideal was shaped by the development of a frequently hostile periodical press that insisted on seeing the Pre-Raphaelites as a distinctive group. The third chapter considers how the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood developed professional identities that diverged from the careers of those artists sponsored by the Royal Academy. The chapter looks in particular at the innovative exhibiting strategies that the Pre-Raphaelites undertook to market their work. Chapter Four compares how differently John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti responded to attacks on Pre-Raphaelitism, and how they were ultimately drawn to contrasting aspects of professionalism. Their divergent careers reveal a major tension between entrepreneurial and professional ideals in the art market. The final chapter examines the 'fleshly school' controversy that surrounded Rossetti and the early Aesthetes of the 1870s. This concluding study reveals how Rossetti's contentious representation of sexual subject-matter played a crucial role in the consolidation of the professional ideal.

From measures to models : predicting exposure to air pollution among pregnant women
Creators: name: Nethery, Elizabeth Michel Kennedy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Introduction: Exposure assessment is a key challenge in environmental epidemiology. When modeling exposures for populations, one should consider (1) the applicability of the exposure model to the health effect of interest (i.e. chronic, acute), (2) the applicability of the model to the population of interest, (3) the extent to which modeled exposures account for individual factors and (4) the sources of variability within the model. Epidemiological studies of traffic-related air pollution and birth outcomes have used a variety of exposure models to estimate exposures for pregnant women. These models are rarely evaluated, let alone specifically for pregnant women. Methods: Measured and modeled personal exposures to air pollutants (nitric oxide: NO, nitrogen dioxide: N0₂ , filter absorbance and fine particles: PM₂․₅) were obtained for 62 pregnant women from 2005-2006 in Vancouver, Canada. Exposures were measured for 48-hours, 1-3 times over the pregnancy. Mobility was assessed using Global Positioning System monitoring and self-reported activity logs; individual factors (dwelling characteristics, socio-economic factors) were assessed using questionnaires. Results: Modeled home concentrations using a traffic-based land-use regression model were moderately predictive of personal samples for NO only (Pearson's r=0.49). Models for NO including home and work locations explained more between subject variance than using home only (4% home only, 2 0 % with home and work). Modeled exposures using ambient monitoring stations were predictive of personal samples for NO (Pearson's r=0.54), absorbance (r=0.29) and PM₂․₅ (r=0.12) mainly due to temporal correlations (within subject variance: NO = 37% , absorbance = 11%, PM, 5 = 9%). Home gas stove was an important determinant of personal exposure for all pollutants. There was a significant (1 hour/day/trimester) increase in time spent at home with increased trimester of pregnancy. Conclusions: In this evaluation, based upon repeated 48-hour exposure measurements, models currently used in air pollution studies were moderately reflective of personal exposures, depending on the specific pollutant and model. Land-use regression shows promise for capturing spatial variability, especially when including mobility (work or school locations) in exposures, whereas monitor-based models are better for capturing temporal variability. Future models should include mobility, where possible, and consider the implications of increasing time at home over pregnancy in assessing exposures for pregnant women.

description: The current study used an experimental design to determine a causal role of rumination on body image dissatisfaction and negative affect. The current study also explored the role of trait rumination and emotion regulation on body image dissatisfaction and negative affect. Participants took baseline measures of rumination and emotion regulation and were presented with a vignette designed to induce negative body image. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three processing conditions following the vignette (rumination, concrete-experiential, and distraction, with the hypothesis that rumination would increase body image dissatisfaction and negative affect). Results indicate that no significant differences were seen in any dependent measure based on condition. Regression analyses indicate that those who have limited effective strategies with which to deal with distress and tend to ruminate experience higher body image dissatisfaction and negative affect than do individuals who do not lack strategies to regulate emotional distress.

description: Agricultural production is sensitive to changes in energy prices, either through energy consumed directly or through energy-related inputs such as fertilizer. A number of factors can affect energy prices faced by U.S. farmers and ranchers, including develop- ments in the oil and natural gas markets, and energy taxes or subsidies. Climate change policies could also affect energy prices as a result of taxes on emissions, regulated emis- sion limits, or the institution of a market for emission reduction credits. Here we review the importance of energy in the agricultural sector and report the results of a case study on the economic implications for the farm sector of energy price increases that would arise from plausible, constructed greenhouse-gas-emission reduction scenarios. Higher energy-related production costs would generally lower agricultural output, raise prices of agricultural products, and reduce farm income, regardless of the reason for the energy price increase. Nonetheless, farm sector impacts were modest for the scenarios and time periods examined. We demonstrate the unique distribution of effects resulting from price (or cost) increases for different types of energy due to pricing their carbon content, as well as the relative use of energy in production of different agricultural commodities. Our analysis focuses on relatively short-term adjustments to higher energy- related costs and does not include potential financial benefits from seques- tering carbon or reduced climate change. Finally, we find that agricultural sector impacts on farming-dependent counties would not be substantial but would be potentially largest where education and employment levels are relatively low, while effects on rural communities due strictly to energy production adjustments would be concentrated in the few U.S. counties with significant employment in energy extraction industries.

description: Abstract: Peat bogs of different types characterize the island of Newfoundland. In the summer of 2008 and 2009 butterflies were observed on the ombrotrophic plateau bogs of the West Coast and on the domed bogs of the National Park „Terra Nova“. In the presented paper the assemblages of butterflies are described and justified by the autecological complexes of species. In addition, the discovered assemblages were compared with these of semi-natural Finnish Aapa-Mires. These mires have similar habitat structures. It was found that more mire-adapted species occur in the bogs of Newfoundland than in Finland (8 species in Newfoundland, 5 species in Finland), but the assemblages consist of the same families (Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae). The preferred food plants of the caterpillars are often from the same botanical groups. The species prefer also similar habitats. Thus, there are clear parallels in the settlement of butterflies despite of the different species.
description: Zusammenfassung: Neufundland wird von Mooren unterschiedlicher Typen geprägt. Vornehmlich auf den ombrotrophen Plateau-Mooren der Westküste und auf den Hochmooren des Nationalparkes „Terra Nova“ wurden im Sommer 2008 und 2009 die tagfliegenden Schmetterlinge erfasst. In der vorliegenden Publikation werden deren Vergesellschaftungen bezogen auf einzelne Habitateinheiten beschrieben und anhand der autökologischen Anspruchskomplexe der Arten begründet. Zudem wird ein Vergleich zu den Lepidopteren-Vergesellschaftungen naturnaher finnischer Aapa-Moore gezogen. Diese weisen ein ähnliches Habitatgefüge für die Lepidopteren auf. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass in den beobachteten Mooren zwar mehr tyrphophile Arten vorkamen (8 Arten in Neufundland, 5 Arten in Finnland), aber die gleiche Familienstruktur vorhanden war (Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae). Die bevorzugten Fraßpflanzen der Raupen gehören häufig zu ähnlichen botanischen Gruppen. In beiden Regionen werden zudem von den Imagines adäquate Habitate bevorzugt. Trotz der unterschiedlichen Arten gibt es somit deutliche Parallelen in der Besiedlung.

description: Preconditioning is the most widely used and effective way for treating ill-conditioned linear systems in the context of classical iterative linear system solvers. We introduce a quantum primitive called fast inversion, which can be used as a preconditioner for solving quantum linear systems. The key idea of fast inversion is to directly block-encode a matrix inverse through a quantum circuit implementing the inversion of eigenvalues via classical arithmetics. We demonstrate the application of preconditioned linear system solvers for computing single-particle Green's functions of quantum many-body systems, which are widely used in quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. We analyze the complexities in three scenarios: the Hubbard model, the quantum many-body Hamiltonian in the planewave-dual basis, and the Schwinger model. We also provide a method for performing Green's function calculation in second quantization within a fixed particle manifold and note that this approach may be valuable for simulation more broadly. Besides solving linear systems, fast inversion also allows us to develop fast algorithms for computing matrix functions, such as the efficient preparation of Gibbs states. We introduce two efficient approaches for such a task, based on the contour integral formulation and the inverse transform respectively.

description: Better understanding of Large Language Models' (LLMs) legal analysis abilities can contribute to improving the efficiency of legal services, governing artificial intelligence and leveraging LLMs to identify inconsistencies in law. This paper explores LLM capabilities in applying tax law. We choose this area of law because it has a structure that allows us to set up automated validation pipelines across thousands of examples, requires logical reasoning and maths skills, and enables us to test LLM capabilities in a manner relevant to real-world economic lives of citizens and companies. Our experiments demonstrate emerging legal understanding capabilities, with improved performance in each subsequent OpenAI model release. We experiment with retrieving and using the relevant legal authority to assess the impact of providing additional legal context to LLMs. Few-shot prompting, presenting examples of question–answer pairs, is also found to significantly enhance the performance of the most advanced model, GPT-4. The findings indicate that LLMs, particularly when combined with prompting enhancements and the correct legal texts, can perform at high levels of accuracy but not yet at expert tax lawyer levels. As LLMs continue to advance, their ability to reason about law autonomously could have significant implications for the legal profession and AI governance.

The Political Incorporation Through Citizenship of Salvadoran Forced Migrants in the Washington Metropolitan Area
Creators: name: Studemeister, Margarita S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This qualitative study explores the political incorporation through citizenship of Salvadoran forced migrants who fled armed violence in El Salvador from 1975 to 1991 and settled in the Washington metropolitan area. Snowball sampling sought maximum representativeness and produced a quota sample of 60 men and women. Using an interview guide, data were collected about their migration and legalization process in the United States (U.S.), and about their civic and political participation and sense of belonging towards El Salvador and the U.S. The forced migration of these Salvadorans was gendered. More men than women departed when state repression targeted mostly men involved in confrontational political activism. During armed conflict, the vulnerability of women increased, leading to their flight. The mode and date of U.S. entry stratified Salvadorans into those without legal status or with conditional status and those with permanent residency and a path to citizenship. Most of them sought a "right to security," or the freedom to rebuild and sustain dignified lives. Many achieved permanent residency through social ties that made them eligible via employment, marriage, or family. Others had to await suitable U.S. immigration law reform. Driven by a "giving-back" obligation, these Salvadorans participate civically and politically toward the U.S. and El Salvador. Pre-migration experiences help them establish ethnic organizations in the U.S., mostly led by men. Exposure to the U.S. political system reinforces gendered participation. Women and men participate equally in U.S. elections. More women than men engage in advocacy and volunteerism, and more men than women, in partisan activities. To connect from the U.S. with communities back home, men head hometown associations, and men and women lead other homeland groups. Women are more inclined than men to use their resources to travel in order to vote in Salvadoran elections. Salvadoran forced migrants exhibit an "acculturated homeland identity," a middle-class and uniquely American fusion, and they practice dual citizenship. Love and rootedness represent their homeland identity. Gratitude and U.S. cultural competence constitute their U.S. identity. Salvadoran forced migrants believe that they are negatively perceived as Latinos in the U.S., and that they are disenfranchised citizens in their homeland.

description: Over the past few decades, modern grocery retailing has been expanding rapidly in developing countries. The implications for food demand and trade are influenced by the extent to which modern food retailers focus primarily on growing preferences for nonprice characteristics, such as dietary diversity, convenience, and quality, as opposed to introducing supply chain efficiencies that may reduce real food prices over time. Based on a data set of 103 developing countries, there is suggestive evidence that the expansion has been associated with growth in demand for nonprice characteristics, such as convenience in food shopping and preparation. On the other hand, growth in modern food retailing appears to be uncorrelated with variables indicative of the emergence of more efficient food supply chains. The impacts of modern grocery retailing in developing countries are potentially important to U.S. agricultural markets. Growth in developing country imports of U.S. agricultural products has outpaced growth in developed-country imports in the 1990s and 2000s, with developing countries accounting for 64 percent of U.S. agricultural exports during 2007-09.

Early changes in respiratory health in young apprentices and physician utilization for asthma and bronchitis later in life
Creators: name: Peters, Cheryl Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Introduction: The main risk factors for the development of respiratory disease have been largely established, however we still cannot predict which individuals will develop respiratory morbidity later in life. This study had two main goals: 1) to examine early working-life changes in respiratory health as risk factors for the development of asthma and bronchitis, and 2) to assess the utility of healthcare utilization data for longitudinal studies in respiratory epidemiology. Methods: A cohort of young apprentices at entry to their trade (machining, construction painting, insulating, and electrician) was enumerated in 1988 to study prospectively the natural history of respiratory morbidity. This group (n=356) was followed-up again two years later. Subjects were linked to a provincial database of all healthcare encounters from 1991 to 2004 (linkage rate 98%). Two health outcomes were studied using physician diagnosis codes: asthma and "bronchitis". Demographics, smoking, spirometric variables, and respiratory symptoms were assessed as predictors of both becoming a respiratory case (logistic regression), and of physician visit rate (negative binomial regression) during the administrative follow-up. Results: There were 281 subjects available for analysis (complete data from baseline, first follow-up, administrative data). Sixteen met the case definition for asthma (2 physician visits in 1 year), and 20 met the case definition for "bronchitis" (3 visits in 1 year). Baseline bronchial responsiveness (BR), and especially a rapid increase in BR over the first 2 years was a strong risk factor for both asthma and "bronchitis". Baseline symptoms of chronic cough or phlegm were predictive of subsequent "bronchitis" visits, and incident asthma-like symptoms were strongly related to subsequent asthma visits. Lung function variables were not important in any models. Relationships were also detected between type of physician, age, sex, job title, size of town, smoking status and the type of respiratory diagnostic code assigned at each physician visit. Conclusions: Early changes in respiratory health may be useful markers in a surveillance program of workers who are susceptible to subsequent obstructive lung disease. Health care utilization data is a unique and promising tool in respiratory epidemiology.

SOCIAL MOVEMENT ABEYANCE AND IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE WELFARE RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Creators: name: Sumareh, Kaleema Annie P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Movement fragmentation in a movement under abeyance makes the recruitment of committed supporters all the more important if the movement is to survive from one mobilization cycle to another. Activists' identity construction can be complicated by movement fragmentation in periods of abeyance but a sense of hopeful activism keeps participants attached to such movements in spite of movement abeyance. I conducted twenty-five semi-structured interviews with welfare rights activists in a mid-western city and analyzed their identity construction processes. An analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that the idea of the right to welfare remains firm for all activists. However, the stigma attached to the label "welfare" has divided activists on whether to retain or abandon the label as a descriptor of the collective identity of the movement.

There are three pathways we focus on for supporting inclusivity in Wisconsin’s water and energy sectors through the Water + Energy Forward (W+E Forward) NSF Engine. The primary pathway for accomplishing this objective is Workforce Development. Building this workforce not only requires recruiting and maintaining an inclusive workforce but also building an inclusive talent pipeline and increasing participation of small and medium-sized businesses and other disadvantaged business enterprises. The goal of this landscape review is to help W+E Forward understand how to embed DEIA into all its foundational components and develop a framework to inform the development of a plan to achieve inclusion at all levels.

description: Caricetum elatae und Caricetum lasiocarpae sind die wichtigsten Pflanzengesellschaften in Kleinmooren des Untersuchungsgebietes.Inwieweit der pflanzensoziologischen Gliederung dieser Gesellschaften eine Standortsgliederung nach Wasserhaushalt und Basengehalt des Bodens gegenübersteht, wird gezeigt. Für Carex elata und Carex lasiocarpa, die beiden charakteristischen und dominierenden Arten der Gesellschaften, konnte ein enger Zusammenhang zwischen Vitalität (Wüchsigkeit, Wuchsform, Fertilität) und dem Wasserhaushalt nachgewiesen werden. Dabei fällt vor allem die enge Korrelation von Carex elata mit dem maximalen und dem mittleren (Grund-)Wasserstand auf. Flächen mit degradierter Moorvegetation zeigten auch deutliche Veränderungen der ökologischen Standortsbedingungen: Besonders niedrige Wasserstände und hohe pflanzenverfügbare Nährstoffkonzentrationen im Boden - verglichen mit den "Normalflächen". Ausgehend von den vorliegenden Daten wird die Entstehung der untersuchten Kleinmoortypen in Grundzügen diskutiert.
description: It is shown to what extent the phytosociologic classification of the most important plant communities of small mires in the investigation area (Caricetum elatae and Caricetum lasiocarpae) corresponds to an ecologic site characterization in water regime and plant available soil bases (Ca, Mg) as important factors. For Carex elata and Carex lasiocarpa, both the characteristic and dominating Species of the communities, a strong correlation between vitality (ranking, shape of life form, fertility) and the water regime is demonstrated. Especially striking in this context is the linear relation between tussock height of Carex elata and the maximum of the average (ground) water level. Sites with degraded mire vegetation differed in low water levels and high soil nutrient availability from "normal" stands. Based upon the registrated data the development of the investigated small mires is discussed.

description: To investigate the impact of rising staple food prices on household food security, we use a unique nationally representative household survey from Afghanistan, one of the world's poorest, most food-insecure countries. The econometric framework allows us to control for household, district, and province factors to isolate the effects of the 2008 sudden rise in wheat flour prices on several measures of household well-being related to food security. The results show large declines in food consumption and dietary diversity, but smaller declines in calories consumed. The evidence suggests that households choose to trade off quality for quantity, as they moved toward staple foods and away from micronutrient-rich foods, such as meat and vegetables. Additionally, for urban areas, the evidence suggests that wheat is a Giffen good; that is, as the price of wheat flour increases, demand for wheat products also increases. These findings may provide useful information for domestic and international policymakers and development agencies as they continue to confront the challenges of improving food security in this conflict-affected country.

description: Electron energy loss spectroscopy is consolidating as a powerful tool to explore electronic (as well as vibrational) excitations of matter, including molecules. Performed in a scanning transmission electron microscope, this technique is based on inelastic scattering of fast electrons in a thin specimen. Very recently, new electron optics configuration have been introduced, opening the way to the analysis of the single components of orbital angular momentum of the outcoming electrons, that convey additional information on the spatial features of the investigated excitations: innovative double-dispersed spectroscopic experiments for metallic nanostructures have been therefore suggested. We propose here to extend this technology to probe molecular and supra-molecular systems, devising new kind of experiments: using state of the art quantum chemical methods to describe the molecular system in presence of an electron beam in a configuration that avoid molecular damage, we show that scattered electrons acquire the different azimuthal components of induced molecular transition potentials. Numerical simulations performed for systems of increasing size, point out that the conceived new technique can open up the possibility of probing the multipolar components and even the chirality of molecular transitions, superseding the usual optical spectroscopies for those cases that are problematic, such as dipole-forbidden transitions, at a very high spatial resolution.

description: Native grasslands in the U.S. Northern Plains, particularly those located in the Prairie Pothole Region, are excellent breeding habitat for migratory birds. The conversion of grassland to crop production could damage this habitat and affect bird populations. We focus on three questions: How fast are grasslands being converted to cropland in the United States and especially in the Northern Plains? Can a temporary (5-year) ban on crop insurance purchase for converted grassland slow grassland to cropland conversion? More broadly, what has been the role of crop insurance and other farm programs in grassland to cropland conversion? We find that: (1) roughly 770,000 acres (1 percent) of 1997 rangeland acreage in the Northern Plains were converted to cultivated crops by 2007; (2) a 5-year ban on crop insurance purchase for converted grassland could slow but is unlikely to stop grassland to cropland conversion; and (3) the benefits of crop insurance, disaster assistance, and marketing loans increased cropland acreage by about 2.9 percent between 1998 and 2007.

description: We present follow-up spectra of 39 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). Many targets were selected as potentially low metallicity systems based on their absolute B magnitudes and the metallicity-luminosity relation. The spectra, obtained with the Lick 3-m telescope, cover the full optical region from [O II]3726,29 to beyond [S IIl6717,31 and include measurement of [O IIIl4363 in twelve objects. The spectra are presented and tables of the strong line ratios are given. For twelve high signal-to-noise ratio spectra, we determine abundance ratios of oxygen, nitrogen, neon, sulfur and argon. We find these galaxies to be metal deficient with three systems approaching O/H of 1/25th solar. We compare the abundance results from the temperature-based T_e method to the results from the strong-line p_3 method of Pilyguin (2000).

description: The Delta Regional Authority (DRA) began funding rural development projects in economically distressed counties in the Mississippi River Delta region in 2002. To assess the initial economic outcomes of DRA funding, we compared nonmetropolitan DRA counties with similar counties elsewhere in the same region as well as in the Southeast. Per capita income, net earnings, and transfer payments grew more rapidly in DRA counties than in similar non-DRA counties, and those impacts were stronger in counties in which DRA spending was higher. Each additional dollar of DRA spending was associated with an increase of $15 in the growth of annual personal income from 2002 to 2007, including an increase of $8 in annual earnings (primarily in the health care and social services sector) and an additional $5 in annual transfer (Government) payments (mainly due to increased medical transfer payments such as Medicare and Medicaid). Our findings suggest that investments supported by the DRA in improved medical facilities and DRA efforts to increase the supply of health professionals may be promoting additional health sector earnings and medical transfer payments.
