title: Talking to Myself: The influence of internal conversations on second-generation Caribbean immigrants in the Turks and Caicos Islands who are first-generation university attendees
Creators: name: Ambrister, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2025

description: Internal conversations are carried on by individuals on a daily basis. These conversations interrogate and evaluate the performance, desires, aspirations, values, and actions of individuals in quest of their life goals. The social or human capital immigrants possess when they transition to a new abode determines to a large degree how easy their transition is and, hence, the opportunities readily available and accessible to them. It is against this backdrop that we see second-generation Turks and Caicos Islanders engage in higher education as the vehicle to achieve their desired identity. It is posed that they manoeuvre and negotiate their progress, not externally based on structure, but internally, through the process of reflexivity. Subsequently, exercising their agency to obtain their desired goal. Influencing these internal conversations are identity issues, where the duality of native and host values is interrogated against the established habitus to enable immigrants to assimilate or acculturate based on their overall needs. The study investigates the linkages between second-generation Caribbean immigrants, who are first-generation university attendees’, progress through higher education, examining the interactions and influences of reflexivity and habitus, structure and agency in their movement. Specifically, considering the use of internal conversations as the main arbitrator in the process. This is a mixed-methods study using multiple research paradigms to shed light on students’ internal conversation and use of agency through narratives obtained from interviews and subsequent thematic analysis. Margaret Archer’s theory of reflexivity and Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus were applied to the findings and used to discuss the presence or absence of internal conversations in the participants’ journeys. The overall use of internal conversations as evidenced when participants were challenged with family, ambition and financial issues alongside issues such as sense-of-belonging and context continuity, and how religious, family and cultural habitus were negotiated in order to embrace the morphogenesis resulting from this higher education experience. Over time, participants’ internal conversations changed based on the attainment of their desired goals. There are indications that known characteristics of certain individuals such as their immigrant or working-class status and admission through widening participation may benefit from academic training. This training might include agency and structure collaboration, diversity and inclusion perspectives, and other academic processes to ease their transition into the higher education arena.
Mass-gap for black hole formation in higher derivative and ghost free gravity

description: We study a spherical gravitational collapse of a small mass in higher derivative and ghost free theories of gravity. By boosting a solution of linearized equations for a static point mass in such theories we obtain in the Penrose limit the gravitational field of an ultra-relativistic particle. Taking a superposition of such solutions we construct a metric of a collapsing null shell in the linearized higher derivative and ghost free gravity. The latter allows one to find the gravitational field of a thick null shell. By analysing these solutions we demonstrate that in a wide class of the higher dimensional theories of gravity as well as for the ghost free gravity there exists a mass gap for the mini black hole production. We also found conditions when the curvature invariants remain finite at $r=0$ for the collapse of the thick null shell.

description: Geomonitoring of mining processes is a very current topic. Geomonitoring uses modern surface and subsurface methods observing the Earth’s surface. “Digital Twin” is a research project whose main goal is to use methods to detect surface and subsurface trends in post-mining areas and relate them to environment processes (e.g. climate changes). An important aspect it to distinguish between environment and artificial/mining influences and effects. The research area of this project is the closed Prosper-Haniel coal mine. The project uses modern research methods and instruments ranging from modelling the geological subsurface in order to visualize the model in three-dimensional space. Through a spatiotemporal analysis of available satellite data and verify the results, in-situ mapping using a mobile GIS application or copter flights with multispectral and thermal sensors are deployed. Each of the sensors play an important role in project “Digital Twin”, but collaboration and combination of different domains allows a broader view of the problems of environmental and geoscientific processes.
Ritual objects, spiritual heritage and the museum space between: Examining the curatorial formation of intangible heritage narratives for faith-based exhibits in Israel’s museums.
Creators: name: Turetsky, Daniel J.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis outlines research undertaken in Israel on the formation of curatorial narratives for spiritual heritage exhibitions. The emotive and esoteric features of objects of faith and ritual in a country where religious practice remains widespread, enables the thesis to explore the dichotomy between the inanimate physicality of ritual objects and the rich spiritual and political symbolism associated with their use. By concentrating specifically on curatorial narratives as expressed both through interviews and through the museum exhibitions themselves, the thesis explores the dynamic and complex relations between human and non-human participants in the museum space. The analysis of the formative antecedents of professional narratives in this thesis contributes to inter-disciplinary research between Material Culture Studies and Museum Studies by exploring the layer of curatorial priming that the narrative brings to the visitor engagement with ritual objects. Through case study analysis, a scale and matrix were developed along with other analytical tools for discerning between a range of material and immaterial approaches to spiritual heritage. This analysis assists in the categorisation of curatorial narratives for exhibition displays and in the matching of modes of mediation and communication associated with these approaches. The development of the ‘intangibility scale’ for spiritual heritage narratives led to an appreciation of a volatile, unpredictable and fluid interaction between human sensations and material and therefore to the value in applying multimodal experiential learning to a range of curatorial approaches for spiritual and faith-based content. The trans-disciplinary nature of this finding, contributes to resolving conceptual and practical challenges in combining tangible and intangible features of material culture within curatorial practice. The conclusions of this thesis demonstrate a measured curatorial trade-off in narratives for intangible spiritual heritage and recommend a curatorial ‘Holistic Triad’ to balance between displays of ritual objects or practice and between particular modes of mediation depending on the epistemological and ideological classifications of curatorial goals.
Heavy Higgs bosons and the 2 TeV $W'$ boson

description: The hints from the LHC for the existence of a $W'$ boson of mass around 1.9 TeV point towards a certain $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge theory with an extended Higgs sector. We show that the decays of the $W'$ boson into heavy Higgs bosons have sizable branching fractions. Interpreting the ATLAS excess events in the search for same-sign lepton pairs plus $b$ jets as arising from $W'$ cascade decays, we estimate that the masses of the heavy Higgs bosons are in the 400--700 GeV range.

title: ADDRESSING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE AND CONFUCIANISM IN EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATION: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY STUDY
Creators: name: Niermeier, Ada
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: This doctoral thesis captures the intercultural competency in early childhood music curriculum teacher training workshops in various countries through both narrative and inquiry-based study. This dissertation is unique, as the rich dialogues and interactions reveal the beliefs, practices, mannerisms, teaching approaches, and understanding of practitioners whose levels of musical training and abilities contribute to decisions to adjust the content of teacher training workshops. The dialogues, interviews, informal and formal observations, field notes, and reflections collected and analysed here highlight connections between different countries and unravel the role of intercultural competency. The thesis uses two theoretical frameworks—intercultural competence and Confucianism—to unearth the underlying reasons why teacher trainers alter teacher training programmes locally. The purpose of this research is to examine how intercultural competency plays a role in the successful delivery of a cross-cultural curriculum. The data extend to a reexamination of existing intercultural competency concepts. The content of the curriculum is altered and the approaches to delivery adjusted based on the different languages and backgrounds of teacher trainers and the variety of needs and cultural understandings of teacher trainees. In short, teacher trainers’ intercultural competency dictates their decisions regarding how to alter the content of the curriculum. Coupling elements leading to intercultural competency with the attributes of becoming a proficient early childhood music educator depends on how well the trainers understand, adapt, and embrace both the local culture and novice teachers, while being true to the spirit of the written curriculum. Keywords: Intercultural competence, music teacher education, early childhood music teacher training, early childhood music curriculum, Confucianism, teacher attributes, cultural boundaries, Musikgarten

description: We place the hyperbolic quantum Ruijsenaars-Schneider system with an exponential Morse term on a lattice and diagonalize the resulting $n$-particle model by means of multivariate continuous dual $q$-Hahn polynomials that arise as a parameter reduction of the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials. This allows to compute the $n$-particle scattering operator, to identify the bispectral dual system, and to confirm the quantum integrability in a Hilbert space set-up.

description: Differential cross sections for the gamma p -> pi^0 p reaction have been measured with the A2 tagged-photon facilities at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI C, up to the center-of-mass energy W=1.9 GeV. The new results, obtained with a fine energy and angular binning, increase the existing quantity of pi^0 photoproduction data by ~47%. Owing to the unprecedented statistical accuracy and the full angular coverage, the results are sensitive to high partial-wave amplitudes. This is demonstrated by the decomposition of the differential cross sections in terms of Legendre polynomials and by further comparison to model predictions. A new solution of the SAID partial-wave analysis obtained after adding the new data into the fit is presented.

description: We report on an eruption involving a relatively rare filament-filament interaction on 2013 June 21, observed by SDO and STEREO-B. The two filaments were separated in height with a 'double-decker' configuration. The eruption of the lower filament began simultaneously with a descent of the upper filament resulting in a convergence and direct interaction of the two filaments. The interaction was accompanied by the heating of surrounding plasma and an apparent crossing of a loop-like structure through the upper filament. The subsequent coalescence of the filaments drove a bright front ahead of the erupting structures. The whole process was associated with a C3.0 flare followed immediately by an M2.9 flare. Shrinking loops and descending dark voids were observed during the M2.9 flare at different locations above a C-shaped flare arcade as part of the energy release, giving us a unique insight into the flare dynamics.

description: The estimation of the extremal dependence structure is spoiled by the impact of the bias, which increases with the number of observations used for the estimation. Already known in the univariate setting, the bias correction procedure is studied in this paper under the multivariate framework. New families of estimators of the stable tail dependence function are obtained. They are asymptotically unbiased versions of the empirical estimator introduced by Huang [Statistics of bivariate extremes (1992) Erasmus Univ.]. Since the new estimators have a regular behavior with respect to the number of observations, it is possible to deduce aggregated versions so that the choice of the threshold is substantially simplified. An extensive simulation study is provided as well as an application on real data.

description: We propose an iterative decoding method, which we call turbo-CS, for the reception of concatenated source-channel encoded sparse signals transmitted over an AWGN channel. The turbo-CS encoder applies 1-bit compressed sensing as a source encoder concatenated serially with a convolutional channel encoder. At the turbo-CS decoder, an iterative joint source-channel decoding method is proposed for signal reconstruction. We analyze, for the first time, the convergence of turbo-CS decoder by determining an EXIT chart of the constituent decoders. We modify the soft-outputs of the decoder to improve the signal reconstruction performance of turbo-CS decoder. For a fixed signal reconstruction performance RSNR of 10 dB, we achieve more than 5 dB of improvement in the channel SNR after 6 iterations of the turbo-CS. Alternatively, for a fixed SNR of -1 dB, we achieve a 10 dB improvement in RSNR.
Galactic orbital motions of star clusters: static versus semicosmological time-dependent Galactic potentials

description: In order to understand the orbital history of Galactic halo objects, such as globular clusters, authors usually assume a static potential for our Galaxy with parameters that appear at the present-day. According to the standard paradigm of galaxy formation, galaxies grow through a continuous accretion of fresh gas and a hierarchical merging with smaller galaxies from high redshift to the present day. This implies that the mass and size of disc, bulge, and halo change with time. We investigate the effect of assuming a live Galactic potential on the orbital history of halo objects and its consequences on their internal evolution. We numerically integrate backwards the equations of motion of different test objects located in different Galactocentric distances in both static and time-dependent Galactic potentials in order to see if it is possible to discriminate between them. We show that in a live potential, the birth of the objects, 13 Gyr ago, would have occurred at significantly larger Galactocentric distances, compared to the objects orbiting in a static potential. Based on the direct N-body calculations of star clusters carried out with collisional N-body code, NBODY6, we also discuss the consequences of the time-dependence of a Galactic potential on the early- and long-term evolution of star clusters in a simple way, by comparing the evolution of two star clusters embedded in galactic models, which represent the galaxy at present and 12 Gyr ago, respectively. We show that assuming a static potential over a Hubble time for our Galaxy as it is often done, leads to an enhancement of mass-loss, an overestimation of the dissolution rates of globular clusters, an underestimation of the final size of star clusters, and a shallower stellar mass function.

title: Exploring Students' Experience of Academic Transition to University: A Study of the UAE National Students
Creators: name: Jamshid-Foroodian, Bushra
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: When students embark on their higher education journey, it can be a challenging time for them as they learn to foster relationships with faculty and their fellow peers. It can also be a difficult time for them as they negotiate and learn to become accustomed to the expectations of the new academic community they are joining. Most existing research on student transition stems from North America, Australia and the United Kingdom but there is limited study on the United Arab Emirates. This study therefore aimed to address this gap in literature by exploring the Emirati student experience of academic transition during their first year. It was carried out as a case study using a mixed-method sequential exploratory design where qualitative data was collected from 20 semi-structured interviews while survey questions were used to collect quantitative data from 377 first-year Emirati students. Bridges transition theory was used as a framework to explain the overlapping phases of transition.

description: Achieving error rates that meet or exceed the fault-tolerance threshold is a central goal for quantum computing experiments, and measuring these error rates using randomized benchmarking is now routine. However, direct comparison between measured error rates and thresholds is complicated by the fact that benchmarking estimates average error rates while thresholds reflect worst-case behavior when a gate is used as part of a large computation. These two measures of error can differ by orders of magnitude in the regime of interest. Here we facilitate comparison between the experimentally accessible average error rates and the worst-case quantities that arise in current threshold theorems by deriving relations between the two for a variety of physical noise sources. Our results indicate that it is coherent errors that lead to an enormous mismatch between average and worst case, and we quantify how well these errors must be controlled to ensure fair comparison between average error probabilities and fault-tolerance thresholds.

description: Approximately half of the world's 500,000 new oesophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases each year occur in China. Here, we show whole-genome sequencing of DNA and RNA in 94 Chinese individuals with ESCC. We identify six mutational signatures (E1–E6), and Signature E4 is unique in ESCC linked to alcohol intake and genetic variants in alcohol-metabolizing enzymes. We discover significantly recurrent mutations in 20 protein-coding genes, 4 long non-coding RNAs and 10 untranslational regions. Functional analyses show six genes that have recurrent copy-number variants in three squamous-cell carcinomas (oesophageal, head and neck and lung) significantly promote cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The most frequently affected genes by structural variation are LRP1B and TTC28. The aberrant cell cycle and PI3K-AKT pathways seem critical in ESCC. These results establish a comprehensive genomic landscape of ESCC and provide potential targets for precision treatment and prevention of the cancer.

description: Male pattern baldness (MPB) or androgenetic alopecia is one of the most common conditions affecting men, reaching a prevalence of similar to 50% by the age of 50; however, the known genes explain little of the heritability. Here, we present the results of a genome-wide association study including more than 70,000 men, identifying 71 independently replicated loci, of which 30 are novel. These loci explain 38% of the risk, suggesting that MPB is less genetically complex than other complex traits. We show that many of these loci contain genes that are relevant to the pathology and highlight pathways and functions underlying baldness. Finally, despite only showing genome-wide genetic correlation with height, pathway-specific genetic correlations are significant for traits including lifespan and cancer. Our study not only greatly increases the number of MPB loci, illuminating the genetic architecture, but also provides a new approach to disentangling the shared biological pathways underlying complex diseases.

description: Aims. We observed the $τ$ Boo system with the HARPS-N spectrograph to test a new observational strategy aimed at jointly studying asteroseismology, the planetary orbit, and star-planet magnetic interaction. Methods. We collected high-cadence observations on 11 nearly consecutive nights and for each night averaged the raw FITS files using a dedicated software. In this way we obtained spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio, used to study the variation of the CaII H&K lines and to have radial velocity values free from stellar oscillations, without losing the oscillations information. We developed a dedicated software to build a new custom mask that we used to refine the radial velocity determination with the HARPS-N pipeline and perform the spectroscopic analysis. Results. We updated the planetary ephemeris and showed the acceleration caused by the stellar binary companion. Our results on the stellar activity variation suggest the presence of a high-latitude plage during the time span of our observations. The correlation between the chromospheric activity and the planetary orbital phase remains unclear. Solar-like oscillations are detected in the radial velocity time series: we estimated asteroseismic quantities and found that they agree well with theoretical predictions. Our stellar model yields an age of $0.9\pm0.5$ Gyr for $τ$ Boo and further constrains the value of the stellar mass to $1.38\pm0.05$ M$_\odot$.

title: The Effects of Conflict Transformation on Knowledge Creation Within Organizations in the Kingdom of Bahrain
Creators: name: Tareq Ahmed Ali Ahmed, Alaa
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: Conflicts have evolved into complex structures, encompassing actors, issues and goals that are both dynamic and interweaved (Galtung and Fischer, 2013). The organization under study had been experiencing such complex forms of conflict and further investigation was called for due to the presence of continual episodes of interpersonal conflicts among its stakeholders. The non-linear, multifaceted nature of the conflict led to the selection of the conflict transformation approach as a means of addressing the issue as, according to Miall (2004), conflict transformation is a reconceptualized expansion of the more generic field of conflict resolution. Various manifestations of organizational issues had been observed, including impaired internal functions, interruptions to business, and high staff turnaround, which increased the cost of recruitment and training. Furthermore, the general decline in the health of the organization, as a result of the persistent conflict between its stakeholders, was combined with compromised levels of knowledge creation, evidenced by its weak competitive position, and lack of agility, creativity and responsiveness. To address this situation, this research explores ways in which conflict transformation can be applied to organizational conflict in the Kingdom of Bahrain and identifies its effects on knowledge creation. This research, which is rooted in practical relevance, was conducted in a training and consultancy firm located in the Kingdom of Bahrain, using action research in conjunction with interpretive methodology. As derived from the findings of the research, the organization under study incorporated four elements of organizational conflict transformation into its culture, namely a. communication, b. momentum, c. inclusiveness and d. reduced levels of past unaddressed organizational conflict; post-action evaluation was then conducted in four separate phases. This research makes two distinct contributions to knowledge and professional practice. First, the research establishes that incorporating the above-mentioned four organizational conflict transformation elements into the organizational culture is an effective means of implementing conflict transformation in organizations operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Second, the effect of organizational conflict transformation on knowledge creation within organizations operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain is found to be positive.

description: B-cell infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been a controversial topic. To examine whether HCV has a genetically determined lymphotropism through a co-receptor specific for the infection by lymphotropic HCV, we established an infectious clone and chimeric virus of hepatotropic and lymphotropic HCV strains derived from an HCV-positive B-cell lymphoma. The viral envelope and 5′-UTR sequences of the lymphotropic HCV strain were responsible for the lymphotropism. Silencing of the virus sensor, RIGI, or overexpression of microRNA-122 promoted persistent viral replication in B cells. By cDNA library screening, we identified an immune cell-specific, co-stimulatory receptor B7.2 (CD86) as a co-receptor of lymphotropic HCV. Infection of B cells by HCV inhibited the recall reaction to antigen stimulation. Together, a co-receptor B7.2 enabled lymphotropic HCV to infect memory B cells, leading to inhibition of memory B-cell function and persistent HCV infection in HCV-infected hosts.

description: This is a scanned copy of a document, including diagrams, on the population dynamics of Protea magnifica in Sonderend, Langeberg, site 3319DB/3. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
