description: We study the effect of weak disorder on the delocalization properties of gapped graphene superlattice (SL) formed by periodically located rectangular potential barriers. We consider two types of the SLs: the SLs with uniform and nonuniform gap. Using the perturbative approach we obtain an analytical expression for the inverse localization length (ILL) derived for the case of randomly fluctuating geometric and energetic parameters. In the first case, when the barrier (well) width fluctuates around its mean value, the corresponding equation for the ILL reveals the presence of the Fabry-Perot resonances, at which the localization length diverges. These resonances are exact, i.e., are stored in any degree of disorder. It has been found that the localization properties manifest stronger for the particles with energies lying in the non-resonant bands where our approach is extremely sensitive to the degree of disorder. For the case of weakly fluctuating both barrier and well widths we analytically obtain ILL taking correlations into account. The main effect of the correlations, which lead to an increase (or decrease) in the localization length, was revealed near the double resonance arising at coincidence of two Fabry-Perot resonances associated with barrier and well widths. The random fluctuations of the potential strength also lead to the delocalization resonances. However, they exist only in a weak-disorder approximation. We found that, for an array composed of alternating strips of gapless and gapped graphene modifications these resonances can appear only for normally incident particles in contrast to the SL with a uniform gap. For such particles, the delocalization resonances occur also in the purely random potential. This means, in particular, that in the one-dimensional case, not all the states of the massive Dirac particles are localized in the presence of weak disorder.

description: Second semester University: Åbo Akademi University
description: Uganda and Sierra Leone are among many of the African countries that have been affected by conflicts and wars. These conflicts mainly affected the children who were forcefully recruited and manipulated into committing atrocities like murder and destruction of property. The children lived in fear of their lives but a gun was a ticket to survival. Uganda and Sierra Leone experienced high numbers of child soldiers from the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Revolutionary Front respectively. This research paper focuses on how both states dealt with the promotion and protection of children’s rights in the post-conflict era. Despite the fact that in both states children were greatly affected by the conflicts it is important to note that different countries have different needs thus the different responses by the states. Sierra Leone used the TRC as a national reconciliation process as well as the Special Court of Sierra Lone to try perpetrators for war crimes while Uganda used rehabilitative centres to offer counselling to the children, provide resettlement packages, provisions of the Amnesty Act and the creation of an International Crimes Division. Uganda introduced free secondary education for children as Sierra Leone introduced a free health care policy for children. Sierra Leone re-established the dysfunctional juvenile courts to deal with child offenders while Uganda introduced local council courts at village level which became the courts of first in case of children’s rights violations. The media, police and human rights commissions all played a role in the promotion and protection of children rights. Children with disabilities as a result of the conflicts were also recognised in society. Both states have done a commendable job in upholding and promoting the rights of the child but there is still more to be desired. However this research recommends that the states need to establish strong birth registration systems which is a tool that will be used in the recruitment of child soldiers, ombudspersons for children, increase in the budget in order to allocate funds for resources, involvement of children in policy making and to improve on the monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in order to improve on the protection and promotion of children’s rights in Uganda and Sierra Leone.

description: We consider the hadroproduction of W gauge bosons in their leptonic decay mode. Starting from the leading-order expressions, we show that by defining a suitable scaling variable the centre-of-mass dependence of the cross sections at the LHC energies can be essentially described by a simple power law. The scaling exponent is directly linked to the small-$x$ behaviour of parton distribution functions (PDF) which, at the high virtualities involved in W production, is largely dictated by QCD evolution equations. This entails a particularly simple scaling law for the lepton charge asymmetry and also predicts that measurements in different collision systems (p-p, p-$\bar{\rm p}$, p-Pb Pb-Pb) are straightforwardly related. The expectations are compared with the existing data and a very good overall agreement is observed. It is shown that the PDF uncertainty in certain cross-section ratios between nearby centre-of-mass energies can be significantly reduced by taking the ratios at fixed value of scaling variable instead of fixed rapidity.

description: Despite substantial progress in cancer therapy in recent decades, patients with cancer remain at high suicide risk. Data from individual studies have not been comprehensively quantified and specific risk factors are ill-defined. We assessed suicide mortality risk according to cancer prognosis, stage, time since diagnosis, gender, ethnicity, marital status, year of recruitment and geographic region. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar for relevant articles up to February 2021. We used a random effects model, performed meta-regression meta-analysis and assessed heterogeneity and publication bias using I², funnel plots and Egger’s and Begg’s tests. We performed a systematic review including 62 studies and 46,952,813 patients. To avoid patient sample overlap, the meta-analysis was performed on 28 studies, involving 22,407,690 patients with cancer. Suicide mortality was significantly increased compared with the general population (standardized mortality ratio = 1.85, 95% confidence interval = 1.55–2.20). Risk was strongly related to cancer prognosis, cancer stage, time since diagnosis and geographic region. Patients with cancer, particularly those with specific risk factors, should be closely monitored for suicidality and need specialized care to reduce short- and long-term risks of suicide.

description: We present a microscopic theory of the second order phase transition in an interacting Bose gas that allows one to describe formation of an ordered condensate phase from a disordered phase across an entire critical region continuously. We derive the exact fundamental equations for a condensate wave function and the Green functions, which are valid both inside and outside the critical region. They are reduced to the usual Gross-Pitaevskii and Beliaev-Popov equations in a low-temperature limit outside the critical region. The theory is readily extendable to other phase transitions, in particular, in the physics of condensed matter and quantum fields.

description: Many recent analyses for conventional imperative programs begin by transforming programs into logic programs, capitalising on existing LP analyses and simple LP semantics. We propose using logic programs as an intermediate program representation throughout the compilation process. With restrictions ensuring determinism and single-modedness, a logic program can easily be transformed to machine language or other low-level language, while maintaining the simple semantics that makes it suitable as a language for program analysis and transformation. We present a simple LP language that enforces determinism and single-modedness, and show that it makes a convenient program representation for analysis and transformation.

description: Child labour and forced labour are practices which are almost universally prohibited. Yet, goods produced with child labour or forced labour can be legally imported into the European Union. This thesis addresses this inconsistency by exploring the feasibility of an EU prohibition on goods produced by child labour and forced labour. The thesis demonstrates that the EU has a strong responsibility to address the conditions under which the products it imports are made. Furthermore there are strong reasons to assume that a prohibition on goods produced by child labour and forced labour is not necessarily contrary to WTO rules on non-discrimination and equal treatment.
Effect of avian predation on arthropod density across tree species and regions
Creators: name: McKinnon, Tara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Many birds rely on arthropods, especially caterpillars, to feed their young during the breeding season. The
availability of arthropods as a food resource is important for avian success. Although there are many
studies of relationships between particular species of arthropods and their host plants, there are few
characterizing the controls on arthropod density as a broad taxonomic group. I tested for top-down control
by bird predation and bottom-up control by tree species on arthropod density in two regions, The North
Carolina Piedmont and the Southern Appalachian Mountains. To test the top-down effect of birds on
arthropod density, I compared densities between tree branches that were or were not exposed to bird
predation. There was evidence of avian suppression of density for both arthropod orders commonly eaten
by birds and for caterpillars in the Piedmont, but not in the Appalachians. I tested whether tree species has
a bottom-up effect on arthropod density by calculating average arthropod densities for common tree
species in both regions. I found a bottom-up effect of tree species on overall arthropod density, with
certain regionally abundant tree species having significantly greater arthropod densities than others. I also
compiled caterpillar density data from the literature and used this, alongside caterpillar density data
presented here, as the dependent variable in variance partitioning analyses assessing the role of region,
climate (temperature and precipitation), and tree species in predicting caterpillar density across five
regions. Tree species explained more variance than climate. Climate variables included did not explain as
much variance as region, suggesting there are additional environmental variables that affect caterpillar
density. These findings could help predict where arthropods will be abundant or scarce, and thereby
predict the quality of a location as a site for insectivorous birds raising nestlings.

description: Women in detention have been receiving increased attention from international, regional and national human rights organisations. Despite increased attention, the number of women in detention continues to grow, necessitating an urgent consideration of their issues. To what extent can the current treatment of women in detention be considered ‘legitimate’ and the disproportionate suffering arising from it ‘inevitable’? This thesis develops a ‘women-wise’ framework to address the issues facing women in detention with the aim of providing substantive protection against torture and other forms of ill treatment by considering the development of relevant normative standards concerning torture and other ill-treatment, prisoners and women. This women-wise framework is then applied to specific case studies of rape, strip searching and isolation in order to prove the practical applicability of the framework and to demonstrate how protections against torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment are able to provide women in detention with tools to address systemic ill-treatment

Unnatural Mothers: Nineteenth Century Understandings of Puerperal Insanity at Dix Hospital
Creators: name: Frisch, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Dorothea Dix Mental Hospital in Raleigh, NC operated as the state’s first and primary insane asylum. The Community Histories Workshop has been conducting a historical research project using archival material from the State Archives of North Carolina to study the asylum and its admitted patients. My thesis focuses on the female patients admitted to Dorothea Dix Mental Hospital and questions why gendered language was often used in their diagnosis of insanity when these language distinctions were not made for men. The transcription and study of the two unique primary source documents, the Dix Hospital patient admission ledger and the general case books, act as my core evidence. Secondary literature provides a frame to view how these female patients fit into the larger context of mental illness at the time. Through a specific focus on women diagnosed with “puerperal insanity,” I study the trends in the transcribed qualitative data of the women at Dix Hospital with this diagnosis. I also conducted case studies on two patients with puerperal insanity to understand their lives outside the hospital and potential social influences of their mental illness. My thesis aims to understand the concepts of insanity, femininity, and maternity during the turn of the century and how the female patients at Dix Hospital are situated in this historical context.

description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether and in what degree the concept of dignity can contribute to apply the anti-discrimination legislation to migrants, in order to foster the social inclusion of regular migrants within the host societies. Particular attention is given to the migratory phenomenon within the EU political frame. I also examined the legal framework of international and European Human rights law, with specific regard to non-discrimination on ground of nationality and dignity. On the basis of the theory proposed by Kant, the most famous who theorised the concept of dignity, the work of A. Margalit is applied to conceptualise “dignity”, and his idea of the decent society in the frame of this thesis. Italy, as a EU member state, has be taken as the testing ground, since institutional discrimination is widespread in Italy, politically endorsed and accepted; in addition, an important case-law recently developed in this domain. The concept of dignity, as a strongly evocative one, could be effective to strengthen the juridical application of the anti-discrimination principles. The role of dignity could be decisive in reinforcing other rights, like the non-discrimination provisions. However, while judges seem to be aware of the importance of a human rights based approach to migration, this does not apply on a political level, where a security driven approach is still prevailing.

The quantum-classical correspondence principle for work distributions

description: For closed quantum systems driven away from equilibrium, work is often defined in terms of projective measurements of initial and final energies. This definition leads to statistical distributions of work that satisfy nonequilibrium work and fluctuation relations. While this two-point measurement definition of quantum work can be justified heuristically by appeal to the first law of thermodynamics, its relationship to the classical definition of work has not been carefully examined. In this paper we employ semiclassical methods, combined with numerical simulations of a driven quartic oscillator, to study the correspondence between classical and quantal definitions of work in systems with one degree of freedom. We find that a semiclassical work distribution, built from classical trajectories that connect the initial and final energies, provides an excellent approximation to the quantum work distribution when the trajectories are assigned suitable phases and are allowed to interfere. Neglecting the interferences between trajectories reduces the distribution to that of the corresponding classical process. Hence, in the semiclassical limit, the quantum work distribution converges to the classical distribution, decorated by a quantum interference pattern. We also derive the form of the quantum work distribution at the boundary between classically allowed and forbidden regions, where this distribution tunnels into the forbidden region. Our results clarify how the correspondence principle applies in the context of quantum and classical work distributions, and contribute to the understanding of work and nonequilibrium work relations in the quantum regime.

Creators: name: Hirst, Catherine
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2022

description: Why are some revolutions met with great power counterrevolution, while others are not? On the one hand, some revolutions face hostility and attempts at reversal by the great powers. Perhaps most prominently, the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia led to military intervention by the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US), Japan and France in a bloody multiyear campaign. On the other hand, some revolutions are tolerated, or even supported, by the great powers. For example, the UK, the US and the USSR all supported Tito’s Communist Revolution in Yugoslavia between 1941 and 1944, providing (respectively) advisers, diplomatic support, and military aid. To answer the question of why, when and under what circumstances great powers engage in counterrevolution, and when they do not, this thesis presents a novel macro-historical dataset covering the period between 1900 and 2020. This dataset is the first to systematically map the determinants of great power counterrevolution. The dataset introduces a crucial but undertheorized variable: ‘order exit’. ‘Order exit’ is a profoundly destabilising act in which revolutionaries attempt to cleave their state from an existing international order. Revolutionaries that attempt to shift their state out of a great power order are more than twice as likely to face great power counterrevolution than those which don’t. The thesis augments this large-N analysis with three case studies that illustrate the main mechanisms linking ‘order exit’ with great power counterrevolution: the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), the Hungarian Revolution (1956) and the attempted Syrian Salafist Revolution (2012-2020). Taken together, these analyses provide two main insights: first, a comprehensive empirical account of post-1900 great power counterrevolution; and second, a set of theoretical resources for understanding the relationship between revolution, counterrevolution and international order(s).

description: This thesis analyses the role of Italy in fostering violence against women in street prostitution. Since the National Law 125/2008 on urgent measures on public security was passed in this country, city councils have applied municipal ordinances at the local level that prohibit the practice of outdoor prostitution in the public space, thereby criminalising it. Feminist geographers and urbanists argue that spatial arrangements in the city play a key role in the experience of violence against women in urban spaces. As a socially marginalised group, women in prostitution are extremely vulnerable to violence, which is further emphasised when criminalisation of this practice obliges women to move to peripheric and isolated areas of the city or to start working indoors. Taking Padova as a paradigmatic example of the typology of municipalities that have legislated the most on street prostitution, this thesis critically engages with international women’s human rights standards and argues that two ordinances passed in this city in 2011 and 2014 represent a failure of the State to act with due diligence in preventing, protecting and prosecuting all forms of violence against women as provided in CEDAW and the Istanbul Convention. In addition, this thesis argues that violence against women in prostitution should not be regarded as a side-effect of this activity but rather as a structurally mediated gender-based discrimination that needs to be decidedly recognised as such at the international level if the universality of human rights is to be applied rigorously to all individuals. Keywords: street prostitution, spatial segregation, women’s rights, violence against women, Italy
How Health Discussions by Members of the Community Empowerment Fund, CEF, Reflect their Use, Access, and Perceptions of Healthcare
Creators: name: Wall, Jonathan Taylor

Year: 2017

description: One of the most vulnerable populations in the United States today are those that are chronically homeless and those in danger of homelessness, such as the unemployed. During my freshman year at UNC-CH, I conducted a research project on a population of individuals that work with the nonprofit, CEF, to achieve a higher level of financial independence. This study focused on the primary factors that contribute to and perpetuate homelessness. This study along with others like it, have found that a primary factor contributing to homelessness and unemployment is an individual’s personal health.
Following these findings, this thesis focuses on these individuals’ interactions with health and healthcare resources. Based on the current literature regarding this topic, there appears to be a lack of information concerning how individuals within this population themselves perceive healthcare. Typically, the information available is represented by healthcare providers or members outside of this population. This thesis used interviews and focus groups to further the understanding of how individuals of this population use, access, and perceive healthcare related to their goals and daily life. This thesis is important because a stronger understanding of these areas can help healthcare policies and resources adapt to better fit the social and structural needs of these individuals. It is also important for this population to be given a voice and space to express their own opinions and perceptions rather than having outside sources represent them.

description: In this thesis, I attempt to locate the rights of the Hijra(s), a trans community in India, within the mythological, socio-cultural context of contemporary Indian law. Culture and rights, however, are extremely sensitive and subjective topics. In this huge, International world of rights, in which State and International rights are supposed to co-exist, the term 'culture' becomes contentious. The presence or absence of rights, either National or International is, and can be seen through the lens of culture or history. In lieu of this, over the last decade, many South Asian countries such as India, Nepal, and Pakistan have adjudicated legal recognition for transgenders. They use the terminology of ‘third sex,' to denote individuals who are neither men nor women, and are characterized as such either by themselves or by the society. The term ‘third gender’ is also often used to denote certain communities in these countries, ‘hijras’ being one of those. The thesis aims to explore how human rights for hijras on an equal footing with other (cisgender) people can best be advanced in India. The pivotal point of this study is the community of hijras. The subsequent chapters will discuss the circumstances of hijras through the historical and mythological perspective of the Indian sub continent and the legal standing in Indian legislature. I aim to analyze their place in the history of the country, and the contemporary acceptance or lack of acceptance they face due to that history. The research aims to : Evaluate the place accorded to hijras in the socio-cultural, mythological context of India, and whether that place can be re-evaluated in the modern context. Professor Tom Zwart’s receptor approach vis-a vis the implementation of the rights accorded by international treaties. Finally, whether the advancement of human rights for hijras can best be achieved through the lens of the ancient socio-cultural beliefs of India, and the cultural relativist receptor approach conceived by Tom Zwart’s.

description: This dissertation examines the role of cultural differences in Transitional Justice (TJ) processes. It starts by pointing out the weaknesses of the paradigmatic model of TJ, characterized as being legalist and top-down. It follows by suggesting the need broaden the concept of justice that guides the TJ process to make it sensitive to cultural particularities and, thereby, to better incorporate the local communities’ needs and priorities and acknowledge the different experiences of conflict and/or the harm done to individuals and communities. To that end, key concepts such as local participation, ownership, empowerment and home-grown initiatives are discussed and lessons are drawn from development studies and experiences in the field. Then, practical issues and challenges arising in making the model operational are dealt with, as regards the localization and cultural adaptation of the process and the roles of the different actors involved (that of the state, victims and survivors and of civil society) are analyzed. Finally, the TJ mechanisms established in Colombia are reviewed departing from the culturally-sensitive TJ model proposed. The analysis leads to the conclusion of an actual move towards an improved incorporation of cultural differences in TJ processes. Key words: Transitional justice, culture, cultural differences, participation, ownership, localization, differential approach.

Cultivating Belonging: The Role of Community Farming in the Lives of Refugees from Burma
Creators: name: Reckard, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Significant research exists supporting the public health benefits of urban green space. Yet little
qualitative research has been done regarding how green space impacts refugee populations who
have a history of farming. The aim of this thesis is to conduct original research on the transition
of refugees from Burma to life in the United States, specifically in relation to green space. This
paper explores how Roots Community Farm (RCF) cultivates a transnational identity and sense
of belonging for refugees from Burma in Rock Springs. Drawing on three ethnographic
methods—participant observation at the farm, analysis of end-of-the-year evaluation interviews
with the farmers, and semi-structured interviews with community members and staff—this thesis
utilizes RCF as a case study to research the role the community farm plays in forming and
encouraging social relationships within the community of refugees from Burma and with the
larger community of Rock Springs. Through this daily practice of farming, the refugees create a
tangible and sensory connection to an imagined and remembered place of Burma. RCF fosters a
deeply affective sense of belonging to the other farmers and to the land. This is significant given
the increasing recognition of the importance of social connectedness for wellbeing.
Collision index and stability of elliptic relative equilibria in planar n-body problem

description: It is well known that a planar central configuration of the $n$-body problem gives rise to solutions where each particle moves on a specific Keplerian orbit while the totality of the particles move on a homographic motion. When the eccentricity $e$ of the Keplerian orbit belongs in $[0,1)$, following Meyer and Schmidt, we call such solutions elliptic relative equilibria (shortly, ERE). In order to study the linear stability of ERE in the near-collision case, namely when $1-e$ is small enough, we introduce the collision index for planar central configurations. The collision index is a Maslov-type index for heteroclinic orbits and orbits parametrised by half-lines that, according to the Definition given by authors in [16], we shall refer to as half-clinic orbits and whose Definition in this context, is essentially based on a blow up technique in the case $e=1$. We get the fundamental properties of collision index and approximation theorems. As applications, we give some new hyperbolic criteria and prove that, generically, the ERE of minimal central configurations are hyperbolic in the near-collision case, and we give detailed analysis of Euler collinear orbits in the near-collision case.

description: We introduce a simple yet powerful calculational tool useful in calculating averages of ratios and products of characteristic polynomials. The method is based on Dyson Brownian motion and Grassmann integration formula for determinants. It is intended as an alternative to other RMT techniques applicable to general gaussian measures. Resulting formulas are exact for finite matrix size N and form integral representations convenient for large N asymptotics. Quantities obtained by the method can be interpreted as averages over matrix models with an external source. We provide several explicit and novel calculations showing a range of applications.

description: Second semester University: National University of Ireland, Galway
description: The human right to adequate food is a central part of the idea of a hunger-free world, where every infant, young or adult, female or male can supply himself or herself with sufficient food to live in dignity. It is accepted in international human rights regime in several documents including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Article 25(1), and in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The new Republic of South Sudan entered the international arena in ecstatic celebration in July 2011, despite being one of the least developed countries in the world. South Sudan, a landlocked East African country, should respect the rights already recognised by the Republic of Sudan before the South‟s independence, including the ICESCR fundamental human right to adequate food. The right to food in South Sudan is particularly being affected by the following factors: 1) inter-ethnic violence; 2) poverty (South Sudan faces intertwined problems when poverty exacerbates violence, but violence, in turn, is one of the primary causes of poverty); 3) absence of a clear demarcated border, that produces conflict among communities and blockages by the government of (North) Sudan; 4) IDP resettlement and the return of over 315,000 southerners who have previously residing in the north, and many more to come. These returnees put a strain in the meagre availability of resources; and 5) Land grabbing by foreign investors. A thorough analysis of these factors will help us prove to what extent the South Sudanese government is adhering to its obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the right to food as enshrined in international treaties, and consequently, propose possible recommendations to the Government and other actors to achieve as soon as possible the fulfilment of the right to adequate food for all South Sudanese people.

description: This thesis entitled ‘Why does Chinese Women Refrain from Suing their Violent Husbands’: An Examination of the Relationship between Human Rights and Domestic Violence in Contemporary China’ is an exploration of the relationship between domestic violence and human rights in contemporary China. No one can deny the fact that nowadays there still have lots of women suffer domestic violence in China. Further, with the social economy developing, the trend of domestic violence has slow risen year by year. Despite domestic violence is examined as a type of violence happening among family members, there are a large number of people argued that this kind of violence behavior not potentially seriously damages the victims’ health and violates their lawful rights, but it can also lead to psychological problems. Even though the judicial department of the People’s Republic of China has already established several laws aimed at protecting victims of domestic violence, such as administrative law, civil law, criminal law, many victims are still unwilling to sue their husband. So, in order to even better protect the victims’ rights and interests, it is necessary to use different aspects to analyze why do women refrain from suing their husbands even if they suffer domestic violence in their family?
