description: Our dissertation is a search for a method. It is a search that leads us away from the remnants of Cartesianism that are found in Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason and toward a comparative study of Karl Marx and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. We argue, in fact, that both Marx and Merleau-Ponty operate with a method that may be called an existential dialectic. By means of a careful and extended analysis of The Structure of Behavior we attempt to uncover Merleau-Ponty's method, calling special attention to its existential and dialectical character. We then proceed to argue that Marx is operating with a type of phenomenological/existential method, and this is true not only of the young Marx but also of the mature Marx of the Grundrisse and Capital. Finally, with the assistance of Lukacs' History and Class Consciousness, we will point up the dialectical character of Marx's method. Thus, it is by uncovering this approach in the text of each of these thinkers and by comparing the method of each man with that of the other that we will show that both Marx and Merleau-Ponty operate with an existential dialectical method. The existential dialectic is also compared and contrasted to philosophy's two main-stream epistemologies, empiricism and rationalism. However, since the empirical method now enjoys such a widespread discipleship, we are especially concerned with displaying its shortcomings and demonstrating the superiority of the existential dialectical method.

description: Using a supersymmetry formalism, we reduce exactly the problem of electron motion in an external potential to a new supermatrix model valid at all distances. All approximate nonlinear sigma models obtained previously for disordered systems can be derived from our exact model using a coarse-graining procedure. As an example, we consider a model for a smooth disorder and demonstrate that using our approach does not lead to a 'mode-locking' problem. As a new application, we consider scattering on strong impurities for which the Born approximation cannot be used. Our method provides a new calculational scheme for disordered and chaotic systems.

description: This article outlines the problems of constructive antidumping methods utilised by some WTO member countries when imposing dumping duties on products from other countries, as well as their negative impacts on free trade. It highlights five such methods – the arm’s length test, the practice of zeroing, the constructed cost method, the use of downstream sales, and the captive production method – based on the analogy drawn from case laws decided by the WTO Appellate Body. The central theme of this article is that although the developed countries preach the concept of free trade, they do not follow the same in practice, and they are the frequent innovators of these constructive methods, the primary aim of which is to protect their domestic producers against the global competitiveness of developing countries. If such practices are not checked, it may lead to exploitation of the vulnerable economic position of developing countries.
ON THE CONCEPT OF OBLIGATION AND THE DIVIDED SELF IN KANT'S ETHICS (MORALITY, PHENOMENON, METAPHYSICS, SARTRE, NOUMENON)
Creators: name: Mills, Frederick B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate that the very conditions which Kant argues constitute the obligation of each individual to will the actualization of the universal moral law in the world and in one's own personality lead to the overall ruin of the Kantian practical reason. To this end we investigate (a) that feature of persons--the divided self--which gives rise to moral obligation, and (b) the postulates, which allegedly make the fulfillment of obligation possible. One of the central problems in Kant's critical ethics is how to account for moral obligation in terms of a self divided into noumenal and phenomenal aspects. This problem leads to a crisis when moral consciousness comes to understand the irreconcilable gulf which lies between its atemporal self and its empirical temporal self. Thus our thesis is that Kant, having established autonomy of the will on the ground of a transcendent self, fails, despite the introduction of the moral postulates, to explain the ultimate harmony of the noumenal and phenomenal aspects of the self. Kant attempts to preserve the autonomy of Willkur by placing its possibility in an order not subject to the "mechanism of nature." But while thus preserving the integrity of freedom, Kant makes it difficult to explain the manner in which an atemporal decision can establish virtue in the temporal personality. This dissertation examines the Kantian cirtique of heteronomous will and his alternative theory of autonomous will by focusing on the differences between the ethics of Kant and Hume. We then analyze in detail the problem of explaining moral obligation on the basis of a divided self. Here we criticize the Hegelian interpretation of moral consciousness with the aim of articulating the central antithesis within the divided self. This dissertation, in conclusion, indicates a path away from, but always in dialogue with, Kant's practical reason. We finally reject the atemporal (noumenal) self and the abstract universal (kingdom of ends) and raise questions about any future metaphysics of morals.

description: The quantum locking technique, which uses additional short low-loss sub-cavities, is effective in reducing quantum noise in space gravitational wave antenna DECIGO. However, the quantum noise of the main interferometer depends on the control systems in the sub-cavities. Here we demonstrate a new method to optimize the quantum noise independently of the feedback gain by completing the square in the quantum locking system. We successfully demonstrate in simulations that this method is effective in optimizing the homodyne angle to the best quantum-noise-limited sensitivity.

description: The formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on HC composite electrodes plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance and operational stability of sodium (Na+) ion batteries. It has been demonstrated that for HC anodes improved electrochemical performance, e. g., increase in coulombic efficiency (CE) and improved rate performance have been achieved in ether-based electrolytes. Here, we investigate spray-coated HC composite electrodes charged at low and high current rates in 1 M sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6) in diglyme using half-cell experiments. The pristine and cycled HC anodes were examined in terms of conductivity and their electrochemical properties after cycling. In 1 M NaPF6 ether-based electrolyte, the spray-coated HC composite electrodes (film thickness approx. 22.0 μm with an active mass loading of approx. 2.0 mg cm−2) reached a discharge capacity of 431 mA h g−1 at 0.1 C that stays constant for 40 cycles, which is substantially higher than that obtained in carbonate-based electrolytes. We investigated the formed interphase using conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM), scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), revealing distinct differences for longer cycling and at varying current rates which indicates that the properties of the formed SEI layers are influenced by the formation conditions.

description: Introduction: The safety of de-escalation of empirical antimicrobial therapy is largely based on observational data, with many reporting protective effects on mortality. As there is no plausible biological explanation for this phenomenon, it is most probably caused by confounding by indication. Areas covered: We evaluate the methodology used in observational studies on the effects of de-escalation of antimicrobial therapy on mortality. We extended the search for a recent systematic review and identified 52 observational studies. The heterogeneity in study populations was large. Only 19 (36.5%) studies adjusted for confounders and four (8%) adjusted for clinical stability during admission, all as a fixed variable. All studies had methodological limitations, most importantly the lack of adjustment for clinical stability, causing bias toward a protective effect. Expert opinion: The methodology used in studies evaluating the effects of de-escalation on mortality requires improvement. We depicted all potential confounders in a directed acyclic graph to illustrate all associations between exposure (de-escalation) and outcome (mortality). Clinical stability is an important confounder in this association and should be modeled as a time-varying variable. We recommend to include de-escalation as time-varying exposure and use inverse-probability-of-treatment weighted marginal structural models to properly adjust for time-varying confounders.

description: This two-group, quasi-experimental study examined the effects of an eight-hour Autotutorial Thanatology Workshop on selected knowledge of nursing care of the dying, fear of death and dying, and the social distance between the nurse and the dying patient of 38 associate degree nursing students: 20 workshop participants and 18 nonparticipants. Three hypotheses were tested: The mean Bachtell Nursing Care Inventory score for nursing students who complete the Autotutorial Thanatology Workshop will be significantly higher than that for a control group of nursing students. The mean Bogardus Scale of Social Distance (Bogardus, 1926) score for nursing students who complete the Autotutorial Thanatology Workshop will be significantly higher than that for a control group of nursing students. The mean Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (Collett & Lester, 1969) score for nursing students who complete the Autotutorial Thanatology Workshop will be significantly lower than that for a control group of nursing students. The data were analyzed statistically using Student's t test. The (alpha) = .05 level was the standard for significance. All subjects were pretested and posttested and the data were analyzed to determine mean score differences. The mean scores on pretest and posttest for the experimental group and control group, respectively, were compared to determine change which resulted from participation in the workshop. Workshop effects were significantly higher ((alpha) = .01) posttest mean Bachtell Nursing Care Inventory scores for the experimental group when compared with the group's pretest mean score and when compared with the control group. The posttest mean Bogardus Scale of Social Distance scores for the experimental group were significantly higher ((alpha) = .05) when compared with the group's pretest mean score and when compared with the control group ((alpha) = .01). The posttest mean Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale scores for the experimental group were significantly lower ((alpha) = .05) when compared with the group's pretest mean score but not significantly different from the control group. Study findings seem to warrant the conclusion that the Autotutorial Thanatology Workshop is an effective teaching strategy for improving nursing student knowledge about and attitudes toward the dying patient.

Anomalous Flavor U(1)_X for Everything

description: We present an ambitious model of flavor, based on an anomalous U(1)_X gauge symmetry with one flavon, only two right-handed neutrinos and only two mass scales: M_{grav} and m_{3/2}. In particular, there are no new scales introduced for right-handed neutrino masses. The X-charges of the matter fields are such that R-parity is conserved exactly, higher-dimensional operators are sufficiently suppressed to guarantee a proton lifetime in agreement with experiment, and the phenomenology is viable for quarks, charged leptons, as well as neutrinos. In our model one of the three light neutrinos automatically is massless. The price we have to pay for this very successful model are highly fractional X-charges which can likely be improved with less restrictive phenomenological ansatze for mass matrices.

description: A drift-diffusion model of miniband transport in strongly coupled superlattices is derived from the single-miniband Boltzmann-Poisson transport equation with a BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) collision term. We use a consistent Chapman-Enskog method to analyze the hyperbolic limit, at which collision and electric field terms dominate the other terms in the Boltzmann equation. The reduced equation is of the drift-diffusion type, but it includes additional terms, and diffusion and drift do not obey the Einstein relation except in the limit of high temperatures.

description: Sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of human activities and development process, which plays a vital role in construction projects. It can be defined as an approach, which is mainly used for stabilizing economic, social and environmental aspects (Rosen, 2012). People must focus on achieving sustainabilityduring operations for the purpose of generating favourable results. In this regard, the effectiveness of engineering sustainability in deriving positive results for the constructions projects all over the world cannot be ignored. Selection of resources, the introduction of sustainable practices, efficient use of resources and environmental stewardship are viewed to be the critical requirements of developing and maintaining engineering sustainability. Therefore, this research paper intends to investigate the critical quality issues that affect the sustainability of construction projects specifically in Oman and other regional countries of

description: [Abridged] We compute the virial mass of the central black hole (M) and the luminosity-to-mass (L/M) ratio of ~ 300 low-z quasars and luminous Seyfert 1 nuclei. We analyze: (1) whether radio-quiet and radio-loud objects show systematic differences in terms of M and L/M; (2) the influence of M and L/M on the shape of the H-beta broad component line profile; (3) the significance of the so-called "blue outliers" i.e., sources showing a significant blueshift of the [OIII] 4959, 5007 lines with respect to the narrow component of H-beta which is used as an estimator of the quasar reference frame. We show that M and L/M distributions for RQ and RL sources are likely different for samples matched in luminosity and redshift. Line profile comparisons for median spectra computed over narrow ranges of M and L/M indicate that a Lorentz function provides a better fit for higher L/M sources and a double Gaussian for lower L/M values. A second (redshifted) Gaussian component at low L/M appears as a red asymmetry frequently observed in radio-loud and radio-quiet sources with broader (FWHM > 4000 km/s) H-beta broad component profiles. This component becomes stronger in larger mass and lower L/M sources. No specific influence of radio loudness on the H-beta broad component profile is detected, although equivalent widths of H-beta broad component and especially of [OIII] 4959,5007 are larger for radio-loud sources. We identify five more "blue outlier" sources. Since these sources are, on average, one magnitude brighter than other AGNs with similar mass, they are accreting at an Eddington ratio that is 2-3 times higher. We hint at evolutionary effects that explain some of these results and reinforce the "Eigenvector 1" correlations.

description: We present how to detect type-$1$ Weyl nodes in a material by inelastic neutron scattering. Such an experiment first of all allows one to determine the dispersion of the Weyl fermions. We extend the reasoning to produce a quantitative test of the Weyl equation taking into account realistic anisotropic properties. These anisotropies are mostly contained in the form of the emergent magnetic moment of the excitations, which determines how they couple to the neutron. Although there are many material parameters, we find several quantitative predictions that are universal and demonstrate that the excitations are described by solutions to the Weyl equation. The realistic, anisotropic coupling between electrons and neutrons implies that even fully unpolarized neutrons can reveal the spin-momentum locking of the Weyl fermions because the neutrons will couple to some components of the Weyl fermion pseudospin more strongly. On the other hand, in an experiment with polarized neutrons, the scattered neutron beam remains fully polarized in a direction that varies as a function of momentum transfer (within the range of validity of the Weyl equation). This allows measurement of the chirality of Weyl fermions for inversion symmetric nodes. Furthermore, we estimate that the scattering rate may be large enough for such experiments to be practical; in particular, the magnetic moment may be larger than the ordinary Bohr magneton, compensating for a small density of states.

description: We report the detection ($>4σ$) of a Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) in the $γ$-ray light curve of 3C 454.3 along with a simultaneous marginal QPO detection ($>2.4σ$) in the optical light curves. Periodic flux modulations were detected in both of these wavebands with a dominant period of $\sim 47$ days. The $γ$-ray QPO lasted for over 450 days (from MJD 56800 to 57250) resulting in over nine observed cycles which is among the highest number of periods ever detected in a blazar light curve. The optical light curve was not well sampled for almost half of the $γ$-ray QPO span due to the daytime transit of the source, which could explain the lower significance of the optical QPO. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modelling of the light curve revealed a significant, exponentially decaying, trend in the light curve during the QPO, along with the $47$ days periodicity. We explore several physical models to explain the origin of this transient quasi-periodic modulation and the overall trend in the observed flux with a month-like period. These scenarios include a binary black hole system, a hotspot orbiting close to the innermost stable circular orbit of the supermassive black hole, and precessing jets. We conclude that the most likely scenario involves a region of enhanced emission moving helically inside a curved jet. The helical motion gives rise to the QPO and the curvature ($\sim 0.05^{\circ}$ pc$^{-1}$) of the jet is responsible for the observed trend in the light curve.

REVOLUTION IN NORTHERN IRELAND? A CASE STUDY
Creators: name: Bentley-Mussen, Joan Adele
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study seeks to show that Northern Ireland has been undergoing a revolution by Catholics since 1969. The Irish Republican Army has used terrorism as a revolutionary strategy because it has not had the strength to directly engage British forces in battle. The J-curve theory of revolution has been applied to the situation in Northern Ireland. This theory states that revolution occurs when there has been a long period of improving conditions with concomitant rising expectations which is followed by a loss, or the perception of loss, of gains made. In order to determine if there had been improvements in the situation of Catholics in Northern Ireland, several indices of material well-being were examined. These included employment, housing, migration and transformation of the occupational structure since World War II. Content analysis of newspaper editorials was used to ascertain the social psychological aspects of the situation, such as rising expectations and perceptions of gain or loss. In the J-curve theory, perceptions are often more important than reality because people will react to a situation based on fears created by their perceptions. The data analysis showed that in all the factors of material well-being there had been a significant period of steady improvement followed by a sudden loss (in some cases actual and in others perceived or feared) of gains made. These results were supported by the content analysis of editorials. It was concluded that, if the J-curve theory were applied to events in Northern Ireland during the 1960s, it is clear that a revolution has been occurring there. Terrorism by the IRA is the revolutionary tactic of a weak force against a much stronger one. The British cannot be defeated militarily, but the British public can put pressure on the government to withdraw. Through its use of terrorism the IRA attempts to manipulate public opinion to create the belief that remaining in Northern Ireland is a liability rather than an asset. Thus, terrorism plays an important role in the revolution as the main tactic available to the IRA in its battle with the British.

description: Abstract: This study illustrates how citizen-driven radiation monitoring has emerged in post-Fukushima Japan, where citizens generate their own radiation data and measurement devices to provide public with actionable data about their environments. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in and around Fukushima Prefecture, it highlights the multifaceted character of these bottom-up, citizen-led efforts, contrasting these initiatives with the emergence of “citizen participatory” science policy discourses in Japan. Recognizing the contested nature of citizenship in Japan and in the nuclear arena, the article considers how terms and definitions shape the participation of citizens and other stakeholders (local communities, public authorities, regulators, and professional scientists) in science and technology in culturally and historically specific ways. It builds on these observations to open up new spaces of expertise, which engage all stakeholders through social-scientific intervention.

description: Sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of human activities and development process, which plays a vital role in construction projects. It can be defined as an approach, which is mainly used for stabilizing economic, social and environmental aspects (Rosen, 2012). People must focus on achieving sustainabilityduring operations for the purpose of generating favourable results. In this regard, the effectiveness of engineering sustainability in deriving positive results for the constructions projects all over the world cannot be ignored. Selection of resources, the introduction of sustainable practices, efficient use of resources and environmental stewardship are viewed to be the critical requirements of developing and maintaining engineering sustainability. Therefore, this research paper intends to investigate the critical quality issues that affect the sustainability of construction projects specifically in Oman and other regional countries of

description: This study seeks to show that Northern Ireland has been undergoing a revolution by Catholics since 1969. The Irish Republican Army has used terrorism as a revolutionary strategy because it has not had the strength to directly engage British forces in battle. The J-curve theory of revolution has been applied to the situation in Northern Ireland. This theory states that revolution occurs when there has been a long period of improving conditions with concomitant rising expectations which is followed by a loss, or the perception of loss, of gains made. In order to determine if there had been improvements in the situation of Catholics in Northern Ireland, several indices of material well-being were examined. These included employment, housing, migration and transformation of the occupational structure since World War II. Content analysis of newspaper editorials was used to ascertain the social psychological aspects of the situation, such as rising expectations and perceptions of gain or loss. In the J-curve theory, perceptions are often more important than reality because people will react to a situation based on fears created by their perceptions. The data analysis showed that in all the factors of material well-being there had been a significant period of steady improvement followed by a sudden loss (in some cases actual and in others perceived or feared) of gains made.

GENETIC STUDIES CONCERNING THE INDUCTION OF ARYL HYDROCARBON HYDROXYLASE GOVERNED BY THE MURINE AH LOCUS (TOXICOLOGY, MOUSE GENETICS, DRUG METABOLISM)
Creators: name: Bigelow, Sanford Walker

description: Three sets of recombinant inbred (RI) mouse sublines were evaluated for three Ah locus-related responses: (1) duration of zoxazolamine-induced paralysis, (2) hepatic Ah receptor levels and (3) hepatic AHH activity following treatment with benzanthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene, beta-naphthoflavone or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or corn oil (control). A short duration for the zoxazolamine paralysis response, detectable hepatic Ah receptor levels, and the capacity for hepatic AHH induction are characteristics of the C57BL/6 and C3H/He mouse strains. The DBA/2 mouse strain exhibits a prolonged paralysis response, undetectable cytosolic Ah receptor levels, and more than 10-fold lower capacity for hepatic AHH induction. All of the C57BL/6J x DBA/2J RI sublines segregate with either of the parental strains. It is concluded the difference in the ANN induction process between the C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice resides in the detectable levels of cytosolic Ah receptor. Four of 26 RI sublines tested, derived from the C57BL/6 and C3H/He strains, exhibit a differential response: these sublines have negligible Ah receptor levels and exhibit a long duration of zoxazolamine-induced paralysis yet are capable of AHH induction. Twenty-two out of 800 (C57BL/6N)(C3H/HeN)F(,2) individuals selected for prolonged zoxazolamine paralysis exhibit this same differential response. This differential response can be explained by the possibility of an Ah receptor-independent pathway for AHH induction. Alternatively, these results could indicate the presence of two regulatory loci in the C57BL/6 and C3H/He strains that control the AHH induction process by affecting the structural composition of the Ah receptor. This possibility is supported by the observation of a charge difference in the Ah receptor between these two mouse strains. The expression of at least two regulatory loci in these sublines could generate various combinations of heterodimeric Ah receptor. The resulting Ah receptor proteins would be responsible for a differential transcriptional activation of two other genes that code for AHH activity and zoxazolamine metabolism. This hypothesis of a differential transcriptional activation mechanism resulting from several possible combinations of Ah receptor subunits would explain the observed data.

description: The superposition of atomic potentials (SAP) approach has recently been shown to be a simple and efficient way to initialize electronic structure calculations [S. Lehtola, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 15, 1593 (2019)]. Here, we study the differences between effective potentials from fully numerical density functional and optimized effective potential calculations for fixed configurations. We find that the differences are small, overall, and choose exchange-only potentials at the local density approximation level of theory computed on top of Hartree-Fock densities as a good compromise. The differences between potentials arising from different atomic configurations are also found to be small at this level of theory. Furthermore, we discuss the efficient Gaussian-basis implementation of SAP via error function fits to fully numerical atomic radial potentials. The guess obtained from the fitted potentials can be easily implemented in any Gaussian-basis quantum chemistry code in terms of two-electron integrals. Fits covering the whole periodic table from H to Og are reported for non-relativistic as well as fully relativistic four-component calculations that have been carried out with fully numerical approaches.

description: The effects of information on market design are explored in a simple setting where firms have private information about their correlated fixed costs and the government aims to maximize its expected revenue conditional on achieving efficient allocations. Government revenues are higher when the costs are less correlated (or are more of a private value). The reduced correlation increases the firms’ information rents, but a change in the information structure also changes the expected market structures with positive effects on government revenues. If the government faces the no-deficit constraint, there are situations where efficient allocations are achieved under asymmetric information but not under symmetric information.
