Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A set of quasi-exactly solvable quantum mechanical potentials associated with the Poeschl-Teller potential, the generalized Poeschl-Teller potential, the Scarf potential, and the harmonic oscillator potential have been studied. Solutions of the Schroedinger equation for each potential have been determined and the eigenstates are expressed in terms of the orthogonal polynomials. The potentials are related to each other by suitable change of variables.

description: Additional findings of fusulinids and corals from Permian rocks of Western Karakorum and Eastern Hindu Kush are reported. The Lashkargaz Fm. of Western Karakorum (Sakmarian - Kubergandian in age), is redefined in its uppermost part. A new unit of sucrosic dolostone, the Ini Sar Fm., of early Murgabian age in its basal part, is established for a level previously attributed to the Ailak Fm. The Ailak Fm. is confirmed to be Late Permian in its lower part. A rich fusulinid fauna of early Kubergandian age was found in a carbonate nappe previously unidentified, along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the Eastern Hindu Kush.

description: The X-ray observations of Mkn 421 show significant spectral curvature that can be reproduced by a log-parabola function. The spectra can also be fitted by an analytical model considering synchrotron emission from an electron distribution that is accelerated at a shock front with an energy-dependent diffusion(EDD model). The spectral fit of NuSTAR and Swift-XRT observations using EDD model during different flux states reveal the model parameters are strongly correlated. We perform a detailed investigation of this correlation to decipher the information hidden underneath. The model predicts the synchrotron peak energy to be correlated with the peak spectral curvature which is consistent with the case of Mkn 421. Expressing the energy dependence of the diffusion in terms of the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence energy index, it appears the turbulence shifts from Kolmogorov/Kraichnan type to Bohm limit during high flux states. Further, the correlation between the best-fit parameters of EDD model lets us derive an expression for the product of source magnetic field(B) and jet Doppler factor($δ$) in terms of synchrotron and Compton peak energies. The synchrotron peak energy is obtained using the simultaneous Swift-XRT and NuSTAR observations; whereas, the Compton peak energy is estimated by performing a linear regression analysis of the archival spectral peaks. The deduced $δ$B varies over a wide range; however, it satisfies reasonably well with the values estimated solely from the spectral peak energies independent of the EDD model. This highlights the plausible connection between the microscopic description of the electron diffusion with the macroscopic quantities deciding the broadband spectrum of Mkn 421.

description: War Karl der Große wirklich nekrophil? Pflegte er also sexuellen Umgang mit seiner schon verstorbenen Ehefrau, die er hat konservieren lassen? Hat er sich tatsächlich dieses Vergehens gegen die Gesetzte Gottes und der Menschen schuldig gemacht? Laut den Berichten mittelalterlicher Geschichtsschreiber hat er das durchaus getan. Die einschlägigen Dokumente für den Umgang mit Nekrophilie in mittelalterlicher Literatur bilden in erster Linie die Sagen um den Sündenfall Karls des Großen. Ist seine Sünde zuerst noch sexuell konnotiert, aber unaussprechlich, wird sie spätestens seit dem Vierten Laterankonzil 1215 immer ausführlicher und detailreicher beschrieben. In der deutschen, englischen und französischen Wissenschaft wurde bereits intensiv nach dem Ursprung der Sagen gesucht, wobei eine zusammenführende Deutung der Erzählstränge bislang fehlt. Unter Berücksichtigung des europäischen Quellenmaterials vom 9. bis ins 15. Jahrhundert, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf Jans Enikels Weltchronik (1280/90), versucht dieser Artikel diese Zusammenführung zu leisten und aus der beschriebenen Liebe zu seiner toten Frau ein sich wandelndes Leitmotiv abzuleiten und Rückschlüsse auf die bildungselitäre Grundhaltung im Mittelalter zu den Themen Herrschaft, Weiblichkeit, Begierde und Tod zu ziehen.

description: Knowledge compilation studies the trade-off between succinctness and efficiency of different representation languages. For many languages, there are known strong lower bounds on the representation size, but recent work shows that, for some languages, one can bypass these bounds using approximate compilation. The idea is to compile an approximation of the knowledge for which the number of errors can be controlled. We focus on circuits in deterministic decomposable negation normal form (d-DNNF), a compilation language suitable in contexts such as probabilistic reasoning, as it supports efficient model counting and probabilistic inference. Moreover, there are known size lower bounds for d-DNNF which by relaxing to approximation one might be able to avoid. In this paper we formalize two notions of approximation: weak approximation which has been studied before in the decision diagram literature and strong approximation which has been used in recent algorithmic results. We then show lower bounds for approximation by d-DNNF, complementing the positive results from the literature.

description: Abundant, very diverse, and well-preserved Nassellarian fauna has been obtained from cherty/clayey limestone levels at the basal part of the Köseyahya nappe east of the town of Elbistan, Eastern Taurides. A comparison with the radiolarian faunas of Austria, Japan and Turkey allows us to assign a middle Carnian age to this radiolarian fauna from the Elbistan region. This fauna contains Nassellaria that are typical for this time interval. Moreover, it contains Tetraporobrachia haeckeli Kozur & Mostler which is an index fossil that gives the name to the zone established by Kozur & Mostler. As a result of the taxonomic study of the Nassellarian fauna, thirty-nine taxa among which nine new species (Goestlingella tueysuezi, Haeckelicyrtium planum, Hinedorcus koeseyahyaensis, Katroma ? ornata, K. ? proba, K. ? tunoglui, Syringocapsa firma, S. nuda, Sanfilippoella carterae) and twelve taxa remained in open nomenclature are described and figured in this study.

description: In this work we present a brief discussion about modified and extended cosmological models using current observational tests. We show that according to these astrophysical samples based in late universe measurements, theories like $f(R)$ and $f(T,B)$ can provide useful interpretation to a dynamical dark energy. At this stage, precision cosmostatistics has also become a well-motivated endeavour by itself to test gravitational physics at cosmic scales and these analyses can be employed to test the viability and future constrains over specific cosmological models of these theories of gravity, making them a good approach to propose an alternative path from the standard $Λ$CDM scenario.

description: A nearly complete but poorly preserved amniote from the Middle-Upper Norian of Friuli (NE Italy), previously attributed to a new species of the protorosaur genus Langobardisaurus (L. rossii Bizzarini & Muscio, 1995), is re-described. Study reveals that the specimen does not exhibit any protorosaurian characters, instead all available evidence supports its attribution to the Lepidosauromorpha. Some skull characters might support sphenodontian affinities, but preservation is too poor to allow a firm assigment to this group.

Η ανάγκη ενσωμάτωσης της λύσης προβλήματος, ως βασικού συστατικού του Αναλυτικού Προγράμματος έχει προταθεί από πολλούς ερευνητές της μαθηματικής εκπαίδευσης και έχει υιοθετηθεί από πολλά εθνικά πρότυπα Αναλυτικών Προγραμμάτων. Αυτή η μελέτη ερευνά κατά πόσο οι μαθητές αντιλαμβάνονται την ανάγκη εύρεσης ενός κανόνα σε δραστηριότητες μέτρησης. Ένας συνδυασμός από παρατηρήσεις, φύλλα εργασίας, ερωτηματολόγια και συνεντεύξεις χρησιμοποιήθηκε για να εξεταστεί ο τρόπος σκέψης των παιδιών, τα λάθη τους, ο βαθμός αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ δασκάλου και μαθητών. Τα κύρια ευρήματα έδειξαν ότι τα παιδιά θεώρησαν τις δραστηριότητες είτε ως μαθηματικά προβλήματα και μαθηματικά παιχνίδια είτε ως καθαρά μαθηματικά παιχνίδια. Ασχολήθηκαν με ενδιαφέρον, κάθε παιδί έλυσε τα προβλήματα με το δικό του τρόπο και ορισμένα πρότειναν και πρωτότυπες λύσεις. Κατά τη διαδικασία των συνεντεύξεων διαπίστωσαν τα λάθη τους και έτσι κατόρθωσαν να φτάσουν στη σωστή διατύπωση του κανόνα.
description: The problem solving (P.S.) is one of the complicated mental activities and as a consequence one of the always discussed issue in mathematics education. Inclusion of P.S. in school mathematics as one of its fundamental components has been suggested by many scholars and it has been adopted by many national curricula. This study investigates children's conceptions of necessity to have a rule in coping with P.S. as activities focused on measurement. Observations, tasks, questionnaires and interviews have been combined in order to explore children's thinking, their errors and interactions between students and teacher. Main findings have shown that children conceive measurement activities posed to them either as P.S. situations with a game aspect or as pure mathematical games. They shown interest, and every student participated in the study has solved the problems in his/her own way, in many cases innovative. During the research interviews children guided with proper conversations by the researcher to recognize their P.S. errors and to formulate rule appropriate for coping with P.S. activity at hand.

description: Parler is as an "alternative" social network promoting itself as a service that allows to "speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being deplatformed for your views." Because of this promise, the platform become popular among users who were suspended on mainstream social networks for violating their terms of service, as well as those fearing censorship. In particular, the service was endorsed by several conservative public figures, encouraging people to migrate from traditional social networks. After the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Parler has been progressively deplatformed, as its app was removed from Apple/Google Play stores and the website taken down by the hosting provider. This paper presents a dataset of 183M Parler posts made by 4M users between August 2018 and January 2021, as well as metadata from 13.25M user profiles. We also present a basic characterization of the dataset, which shows that the platform has witnessed large influxes of new users after being endorsed by popular figures, as well as a reaction to the 2020 US Presidential Election. We also show that discussion on the platform is dominated by conservative topics, President Trump, as well as conspiracy theories like QAnon.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema der Nutzung der virtuellen Realität und der Building Information Modelling Technologie (BIM), zur Schaffung von immersiven urbanen Situationen für Echtzeit-Experimente. Grundsätzliche Fragestellungen hierbei waren: Wie können Architekten und Stadtplaner in Zukunft mit einfachen und konsistenten Workflows arbeiten, um ihre Modelle während des Entwurfs zu überprüfen, und wie können sie das Ergebnis besser an Nicht-Profis kommunizieren? Ist diese Methodik ein Rahmen, um virtuelle Laborumgebungen für die Urban Emotions Initiative aufzubauen, um unvorhersehbare Ereignisse auszuschließen? Studenten und Wissenschaftler erarbeiteten in einem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt Lösungen, bei denen die virtuelle Realität den Planern die Möglichkeit bietet, ihre Modelle nicht nur am Computer zu betrachten, sondern diese auch in der neu geplanten Gebäude- oder Stadtsituation zu erleben, um Raumeindrücke, Wege und Lichtverhältnisse zu analysieren. Unterstützt durch generative Werkzeuge wurde ein maßstabsübergreifender "Schweizer Taschenmesser"-Workflow zwischen Modellerstellung und Entwurfsdiskussionsplattform in VR entwickelt, der über Head-Mounted-Displays zu einem virtuellen Rundgang zur Untersuchung "urbaner Emotionen" angepasst werden kann.
CRETACEOUS PALYNOLOGY (SPORES, POLLEN AND DINOFLAGELLATE CYSTS) OF THE SIQEIFA 1-X BOREHOLE, NORTHERN EGYPT

description: Diverse and well preserved palynofloras were recognized in the Lower Cretaceous succession penetrated by well Siqeifa 1-X in northern Egypt. Dinoflagellate cysts such as Subtilisphaera senegalensis was regarded, with the spores Impardecispora apiverrucata and Aequitriradites spinulosus, as important Berriasian to Barremian species. Afropollis operculatus/zonatus pollen and spores such as Balmeisporites holodictyus, Trilobosporites laevigatus and Duplexisporites generalis are diagnostic of Aptian. The lowest occurrences of the pollen Afropollis jardinus, the spore Crybelosporites pannuceus and elaterates such as Elaterosporites klaszii, Elaterocolpites castelainii and Elateroplicites africaensis characterize the Albian/lower Cenomanian interval. The palynofloras enabled the recognition of five spore-pollen and four dinoflagellate zones, which are correlated with regional records, mainly from Egypt and Libya. The vertical distribution of terrestrial and marine palynomorphs, along with palynodebris, reflects two regressive marginal marine cycles during Berriasian-Barremian and Albian-lower Cenomanian times whereas the Aptian witnessed a transgressive open marine (inner shelf) environment. A warm humid palaeoclimate was inferred during deposition of the investigated succession of the borehole, in contrast to the known warm arid to semi-arid climate, suggested for the Northern Gondwana Realm during Early Cretaceous times. This is probably due to the palaeogeographic position of Egypt during Early Cretaceous times or, to a local reason. Palynofloras from Siqeifa 1-X borehole, with Afropollis pollen and elaterates, are of North African aspect and share the broad characteristics of the "Albian-Cenomanian Elaterates Province" of Herngreen et al. (1996). Abundance of spores and araucariacean pollen are transitional features between those in North Gondwana and Southern Laurasia but, unlikely, typical transitional assemblages lack bisaccates conifers and have Gleicheniaceae spores.

description: Lart de faulconnerie et lart de vennerie is an original late fifteenth-century translation created by French humanist, Guillaume Tardif. Today it is preserved in Glasgow University Library, Special Collections, MS Hunter 269 (U.5.9). It is the sole extant manuscript of this treatise by Guillaume Tardif. This doctoral thesis explores holistically the interdisciplinary qualities of the words and images in GUL, MS Hunter 269. It summarises the lives and deeds of the multi-disciplined individuals whose expertise produced this exemplum of medieval hunting literature and art. The research evaluates and presents the distinctive proprietary elements within GUL, MS Hunter 269, which complements existing and future academic understanding of medieval falconry and venery treatises as expressed in manuscripts. The past studies of GUL, MS Hunter 269 have been piecemeal. Scholars have taken textual or pictorial excerpts to substantiate ideas on falconry and venery works. The manuscript has been presented at several public engagement events to represent the material expression of past scripts, letter decorations, avian artwork, and historiography within manuscripts and incunables. What is missing is a focused analysis undertaken with a wider scope of scholastic research on the hunting arts. This thesis provides the first comprehensive academic research on GUL, MS Hunter 269 that will address the absence of scholarship relating to Guillaume Tardif, his work, and his significant role in the medieval proliferation of scientific falconry and venery treatises. To this end, the thesis will present excerpts of transcription and translation; show contextualisation and visualisation of unique words and images; outline investigative research on material sources; and, make a case for a future place and role for GUL, MS Hunter 269 in global falconry and venery heritage of the past, present, and future. This thesis is the product of self-funded research. It expresses my opinions based upon concentrated and diligent fact-checking, careful dissemination, critical thinking, and intensive research.

description: High flux of electron neutrinos($\nue$) is produced at nuclear power reactors through the decays of nuclei activated by neutron capture. Realistic simulation studies on the neutron transport and capture at the reactor core were performed. The production of $\chr51$ and $\fe55$ give rise to mono-energetic $\nue$'s at Q-values of 753 keV and 231 keV and fluxes of $8.3 \times 10^{-4}$ and $3.0 \times 10^{-4}$ $\nue$/fission, respectively. Using data from a germanium detector at the Kuo-Sheng Power Plant, we derived direct limits on the $\nue$ magnetic moment and the radiative lifetime of $μ_ν < 1.3 \times 10^{-8} ~ \mub$ and $\rm{τ_ν / m_ν > 0.11 s / eV}$ at 90% confidence level (CL), respectively. Indirect bounds on $\rm{τ_ν / m_ν^3}$ were also inferred. The $\nue$-flux can be enhanced by loading selected isotopes to the reactor core, and the potential applications and achievable statistical accuracies were examined. These include accurate cross-section measurements, studies of mixing angle $θ_{13}$ and monitoring of plutonium production.

description: Throughout studies of the early modern English print trade the term ‘network’ has been used to describe the web of relationships connecting the people who practised the manufacture, sale and distribution of texts. This metaphor has often been used casually, with little regard to its meaning, particularly the operation and construction of such a network. Studies of contemporary early modern trades and communities including for the print trade itself have established the importance of networks to the functioning of mercantile and social activity. The present study aims to contribute to this growing area of scholarship which endeavours to understand the print trade as a network, exploring how numerous relationships formed a structure that facilitated the creation and exchange of print in seventeenth-century England. This time and place have been chosen as a period of relative calm at the height of the powers of the Stationers’ Company which controlled the trade in England for more than a century during the early growth of English print culture. As a small group closely bound by marriage, guild allegiance and geography this has always been considered a tightly knit and interconnected community. For this reason, the Stationers of London offer an ideal sample with which to conduct network and will analysis, as a well-defined social group with a wealth of supporting source material available from the ESTC and records of the Stationers’ Court and Registers. This was first achieved by transcribing all 59 wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury between 1624 and 1641 which we know belong to members of the Stationers’ community. The data from these wills were then transcribed into a database which could be analysed and then transferred into Social Network Analysis software. Using a combination of quantitative bequest analysis, individual qualitative case studies and SNA strong family links and weak ties of social capital can be identified as forming a network of kinship and credit within the Stationers’ community. This approach enables us to consider the Stationers’ network from several perspectives, especially the real-world relationships with which it was constituted.

description: Large optical nonlinearities can have numerous applications, ranging from the generation of cat-states for optical quantum computation, through to quantum sensing where the sensitivity exceeds Heisenberg scaling in the resources. However, the generation of ultra-large optical nonlinearities has proved immensely challenging experimentally. We describe a novel protocol where one can effectively generate large optical nonlinearities via the conditional application of a linear operation on an optical mode by an ancilla mode, followed by a measurement of the ancilla and corrective operation on the probe mode. Our protocol can generate high quality optical Schr{ö}dinger cat states useful for optical quantum computing and can be used to perform sensing of an unknown rotation or displacement in phase space, with super-Heisenberg scaling in the resources. We finally describe a potential experimental implementation using atomic ensembles interacting with optical modes via the Faraday effect.

One-loop masses of Neumann-Dirichlet open strings and boundary-changing vertex operators

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We derive the masses acquired at one loop by massless scalars in the Neumann-Dirichlet sector of open strings, when supersymmetry is spontaneously broken. It is done by computing two-point functions of "boundary-changing vertex operators" inserted on the boundaries of the annulus and Möbius strip. This requires the evaluation of correlators of "excited boundary-changing fields," which are analogous to excited twist fields for closed strings. We work in the type IIB orientifold theory compactified on $T^2\times T^4/\mathbb{Z}_2$, where $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry is broken to $\mathcal{N}=0$ by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism implemented along $T^2$. Even though the full expression of the squared masses is complicated, it reduces to a very simple form when the lowest scale of the background is the supersymmetry breaking scale $M_{3/2}$. We apply our results to analyze in this regime the stability at the quantum level of the moduli fields arising in the Neumann-Dirichlet sector. This completes the study of Ref. [32], where the quantum masses of all other types of moduli arising in the open- or closed-string sectors are derived. Ultimately, we identify all brane configurations that produce backgrounds without tachyons at one loop and yield an effective potential exponentially suppressed, or strictly positive with runaway behavior of $M_{3/2}$.

description: Το άνοιγμα του σύγχρονου μουσείου σε ένα πλατύ κοινό με στόχο τη μόρφωση και τη ψυχαγωγία του είναι σήμερα βασικό προαπαιτούμενο για την κοινωνική και οικονομική βιωσιμότητά του. Κατά την παρουσίαση της ελληνικής μουσειοπαιδαγωγικής πραγματικότητας παρουσιάζονται οι κύριες αρχές της Παιδαγωγικής, της Γνωστικής και Εξελικτικής Ψυχολογίας (θεωρία δόμησης της γνώσης, αρχές μεθόδου Project κ.ά) και η ενσωμάτωση τους στη Μουσειολογία. Στο ερώτημα πως μαθαίνουμε στο μουσείο, απαντούν οι μελέτες κοινού, διερευνώντας παράγοντες, όπως το υπόβαθρο των επισκεπτών, ο μουσειογραφικός σχεδιασμός κ.ά. Οι εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες των ελληνικών μουσείων εξετάζονται ως προς την ιστορία και την μεθοδολογία τους, την πρόοδο και τις ελλείψεις τους, τη σχέση τους με το εξωελλαδικό παράδειγμα και τις σύγχρονες προοπτικές τους. Τα μουσειοπαιδαγωγικά προγράμματα αξιολογούνται με κριτήριο την εκπλήρωση ποικιλίας διδακτικών στόχων, την πληρότητα του σχεδιασμού τους, την εφαρμογή ή μη της αξιολόγησής τους κ.ά. Προτεινόμενοι στόχοι προς υλοποίηση είναι η στενότερη συνεργασία με το σχολείο, η ενθάρυνση του αυτοδύναμου δασκάλου, η πολιτισμική αποκέντρωση και το άνοιγμα στην τοπική κοινωνία, καθώς και η ένταξη των νέων τεχνολογιών στα μαθησιακά προγράμματα όλων των ηλικιών και των ΑΜΕΑ.
description: This study underpins the educational dimension of the modern museum. Learning theories (mostly Consructivist learning theory) are integrated in Museology and put into practise (along with theories about the impact of social learning or the importance of museum space planning) when preparing a museum learning programm. Greek museum educational activity is discussed in regards of its history and methodology, its success and failures, its future potential. The evaluation aims to show whether a variety of didactic goals were met and whether the planning involved the necessary activities before, during and after the visit. Museum learning in the age of 2000 would involve a closer partnership with Formal Learning Institutions (schools, universities) and community services, the engagement of the teacher in a more active role in the museum and the extensive use of technology for the needs of all ages and people with special abilities.
Light front field theory of relativistic quark matter

description: Light-front quantization to many-particle systems of finite temperature and density provides a novel approach towards a relativistic description of quark matter and allows us to calculate the perturbative as well as the non-perturbative regime of QCD. Utilizing a Dyson expansion of light-front many-body Green functions we have so far calculated three-quark, quark-quark, and quark-antiquark correlations that lead to the chiral phase transition, the formation of hadrons and color superconductivity in a hot and/or dense environment. Presently, we use an effective zero-range interaction, to compare our results with the more traditional instant form approach where applicable.

description: This paper deals with the computation of the largest robust control invariant sets (RCISs) of constrained nonlinear systems. The proposed approach is based on casting the search for the invariant set as a graph theoretical problem. Specifically, a general class of discrete-time time-invariant nonlinear systems is considered. First, the dynamics of a nonlinear system is approximated with a directed graph. Subsequently, the condition for robust control invariance is derived and an algorithm for computing the robust control invariant set is presented. The algorithm combines the iterative subdivision technique with the robust control invariance condition to produce outer approximations of the largest robust control invariant set at each iteration. Following this, we prove convergence of the algorithm to the largest RCIS as the iterations proceed to infinity. Based on the developed algorithms, an algorithm to compute inner approximations of the RCIS is also presented. A special case of input affine and disturbance affine systems is also considered. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
title: Re-thinking conceptual approaches to modern Islamic terrorism: a genealogy of ISIS and the dynamism of Salafi-Jihadism

description: Acts of political violence under the broad categorisation of ‘Islamic terrorism’ are a pervasive socio-political problem in the modern geo-political environment. Furthermore, in the nearly two decades since September 11th 2001, Salafi-Jihadist organisations such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS have emerged to symbolise potent counterpoints to models of legitimacy and sovereignty championed by Western powers, and rely on narratives of justified violence to achieve their ultimate ambitions which defy parameters of conventional Western morality in an increasingly globalised world. This thesis attempts to broaden academic and policy discussions regarding the endurance of the threat posed by violent Salafi-Jihadism by re-examining actors according to their own socio-cultural reference points, and in relation to those classified as ‘other’. It intends to provide a holistic examination in a manner which has yet to be undertaken in the fields of terrorism, international relations, or religious studies. This thesis employs a Foucauldian genealogy of ISIS to deconstruct the problematisation of Islamic terrorism in the context of the Global War on Terror by scrutinising fundamental aspects of social group dynamics, the potency of religious ideology, and the symbiotic relationship between violence and ideology. It further reconstructs the emergence of ISIS by drawing on reference points unique to its own self-perception of cosmological and temporal history. Finally, this thesis analyses and reconsiders the utility of current frameworks in use for the study of terrorism. By genealogically scrutinising ISIS, and de-constructing the very understanding of the term ‘terrorism’ as employed by Western actors as a fluid concept in a power-knowledge nexus, this thesis argues for the necessity of alternate categorisations for the conceptualisation of actors in a contested geo-political social space.
Conflict and reconciliation: on the cultural dynamics in the Cairene public space
Creators: name: Nagati, Omar Kamal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The informal regulations governing the patterns of inhabiting the public spaces of contemporary Cairo result in the chaotic appearance of the use and imagery of these spaces. Through the documentation and analysis of some of these patterns and their spatial implications, one could identify two sets of cultural values with two possible frameworks, or models. The one is ascribed to an institutional and formal framework while the other is a non-codified, yet culturally agreed upon, set of values. The dynamics between the two cultural models, as this study argues, involve different modes of interaction. In Cairo, modes of either a confrontation or of a denial are apparent in the public space, as they are manifest in the cultural discourse in general. By tracing the origins and the evolution of these models, the formal and the informal, two processes of cultural change are identified. The one embraced by the cultural elite is an abrupt, rapid and more responsive to external forces. The other, undertaken by the society at large, is gradual and slower in pace. It also requires wider span of time to absorb external cultural impulses. To the former, I refer as a 'High' culture, embraced by a culturally 'Ruling' group; while for the latter I use the term 'Popular' culture. Through the study of selected periods of urban/cultural history of the city, I argue for three stages of transition from one civilizational model to another. Each phase involves different dynamic between the two cultural groups, and in the nature of their distinctive role in the process of change. From the perspective of this 'bifurcation', two issues I consider essential, and should be addressed. The first, a theoretical one, is that the process of change undertaken by the popular group, which I define here as an 'indigenous' process of change, needs to be revealed, understood and acknowledged. It must be both culturally and physically incorporated in any developmental scheme. Secondly, is that most conventional planning approaches, which attempt to promote the physical conditions of the public space by restoring its absent 'order' while ignoring these indigenous processes eventually fail. In short, it is seen as imperative to develop a reconciliatory approach between the two apparently conflicted models rather than to subdue one by another.
Towards the robustness of Affleck-Dine mechanism

description: In this talk we considered the Affleck-Dine mechanism with various types of the Kahler potential, and investigate whether or not the Affleck-Dine field could acquire a large VEV as an initial condition for successful baryogenesis. In addition to a negative Hubble-induced mass term, we found examples that large enough Hubble-induced A-terms could also develop the minima at large amplitude of the field. It is concluded, therefore, that the Affleck-Dine mechanism works for broader classes of the theories. This talk is based on Ref.[1]. Here I extend the discussion from more generic standpoint, and find that essentially there are three cases that large enough A terms develop minima at large field values.

title: William Dunbar’s Tretis in Romance translations: a textual analysis
Creators: name: Bianchin, Ruggero
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is concerned with the textual analysis and comparison of full prose translations of William Dunbar’s Middle Scots poem The Tretis of the Tua Mariit Wemen and the Wedo (first attestation ca. 1507-8) into modern Italian (by Ermanno Barisone – published in 1989 as Il trattato delle due donne maritate e della vedova) and French (by Jean-Jacques Blanchot – published in 2003 as Récit des deux épouses et de la veuve). By relying on the close linguistic ties between Italian and French and considering the influence, either direct or mediated, of Latin on both these languages and Older Scots, the thesis analyses the etymology and use of selected items and considers whether and how translators made use of cross-linguistic, cultural and literary connections to produce the target texts. Qualitative analysis carried out by using lexicographical resources such as monolingual and bilingual dictionaries (among the former, DOST and OED for attestations of Older Scots; GDLI for Italian; TLF for French) and online corpora (CORIS for Italian; Frantext for French), demonstrates that Barisone’s resulting text was aimed at a more scholarly audience and is richer in archaisms and regionalisms, whereas Blanchot’s was aimed at a more general public and includes argotic expressions and colloquialisms. Matters of metre are also investigated, particularly since alliteration is a core semantic feature of The Tretis, posing additional challenges to translators writing in syllable-timed languages. The thesis also looks at the role of relevant paratextual features (particularly footnotes and the original text in parallel facing pages) in shaping the target texts. The BOSLIT data set (Bibliography Of Scottish Literature In Translation) shows that The Tretis is the only Older Scots poem for which full translations have been published in different Romance languages, making it the only text which allows the comparison of different outcomes as regards metre and register. This thesis is a preliminary study of a wider research focusing on analysing Older Scots poetry in Romance translations; it has been instigated by the realisation that a large corpus of Scottish medieval literature has, indeed, been rarely translated into Romance languages (such as Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese among others), making its works less accessible.
