description: The refugees are one of the most uncomfortable issue for nation states related to the international migrations. While for economic immigrants is possible to oppose restrictions entrance through the introduction of strict selection criteria, the movement of refugees and asylum seekers can not be programmed and hindered. The States of the rich part of the world, to continue to be considered democratic societies, must to declare themselves ready to welcome asylum seekers and refugees who come knocking at their doors. The Italian legislation, with its extreme complexity, and the treatment of welcome reserved for asylum seekers are the expressions of the contradiction between the need of social inclusion for refugees and laws on asylum increasingly restrictive. This thesis is part of the current of studies aimed to investigate the ways of refugees integration into host societies. The research approach is an analysis of the process of refugees social capital building from a micro perspective of the individual relationships. A study of the peculiar Italian situation which aims to investigate a presence, that of refugees, relatively recent and not yet organized on the territory. The research focuses on the effects of three different factors on this process : the refugees welcome system, the legal iter of seeking asylum and the refugees ethnic community. The study focuses on the specific context of the city of Milan. Milan has been chosen for the variety of its social context and the presence of different ethnic communities of refugees on its territory. The Italian welcome system for refugees is articulated in various types of structures ranging from simple dormitory to structured projects of social inclusion. The different modes of welcome can affect not only the characteristics of the individual social capital but also the opportunities to create a useful capital for a positive socio-economic inclusion. Ethnic communities have different internal relational dynamics dictated by cultural factors, structural characteristics and the historicity of the settlement. These characteristics may have an effect on the creation of different types of bonding and bridging social capital. At last the legal iter of seeking asylum negatively influences the ability to create social capital because makes difficult to take advantage of the resources and opportunities available through social networks. In conclusion the Italian asylum system doesn't provides the necessary tools to achieve autonomy. The current condition of the asylum system creates individuals who continue to be dependent on the welfare system, even when they exit from the welcome structure, without being able to become independent. The refugees usually trying to survive using the few social networks that they create through ethnic communities or within the welcome system.

description: Abstract: Poly(amidoamine)s (PAAs) represent a promising material for drug delivery applications. They are synthetic functional polymers endowed with a combination of properties making them suitable for a variety of biomedical applications mostly related to drug delivery systems. PAAs can be obtained by stepwise polyaddition of primary or secondary aliphatic amines to bisacrylamides. The synthesis is carried out in water or protic solvent, with a mild base and at room temperature. In the first section of this thesis, a group of novel amphoteric PAAs homo- and copolymers containing secondary and tertiary amine groups in their main chain and different structures in the bisacrylamide segments were synthesized and evaluated as magnetic nanoparticles coating agents. In the second section of this thesis, a general method for preparing linear high polymers of peptides was investigated. Polymers with an average molecular weight included in the range 3000 ? 40000 were obtained by Michael polyaddition reaction between 2,2-bisacrylamidoacetic acid or N,N?-bisacryloylpiperazine and glutathione (reduced and oxidised) or the RGD peptide. In preliminary biological tests these polymers showed a good values of zeta potential and negligible values of cytotoxicity and haemolytic activity. Further in vitro tests are in progress to investigate the biological properties of these polymers in comparison with the parent peptides. In the third section of this thesis, gene delivery properties of new hyperbranched PAAs, containing disulfide linkages in the main chain, were investigated in comparison with the relevant linear polymers. Structural characterization of the polymers synthesized and the reactivity of the monomers utilized were also determined. The results shown by these polymers in DNA transfection are very promising and encourage further studies in vitro with these biodegradable hyperbranched PAAs to test the effect, on transfection efficiency, of different terminal groups.

description: Abstract Background Studies of human polyomavirus (HPyV) infection and lung cancer are limited and those regarding the association of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and lung cancer have produced inconsistent results. Methods We conducted a nested case–control study to assess the association between incident lung cancer of various histologies and evidence of prior infection with HPyVs and HPVs. We selected serum from 183 cases and 217 frequency matched controls from the Yunnan Tin Miner’s Cohort study, which was designed to identify biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer. Using multiplex liquid bead microarray (LBMA) antibody assays, we tested for antibodies to the VP1 structural protein and small T antigen (ST-Ag) of Merkel cell, KI, and WU HPyVs. We also tested for antibodies against HPV L1 structural proteins (high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33, 52, and 58 and low-risk types 6 and 11) and E6 and E7 oncoproteins (high risk types 16 and 18). Measures of antibody reactivity were log transformed and analyzed using logistic regression. Results We found no association between KIV, WUV, and MCV antibody levels and incident lung cancer (P-corrected for multiple comparisons >0.10 for all trend tests). We also found no association with HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 52, and 58 seropositivity (P-corrected for multiple comparisons >0.05 for all). Conclusions Future studies of infectious etiologies of lung cancer should look beyond HPyVs and HPVs as candidate infectious agents.

description: We study the real-time behavior of classical Yang-Mills theory under initial conditions with nonperturbatively large, infrared field amplitudes. Our lattice study confirms the cascade of energy towards higher momenta and lower occupancy, which occurs via a scaling solution $f[p,t_1] = (t_0/t_1)^{4/7}\, f[p (t_0/t_1)^{1/7},t_0]$. Above a characteristic scale p_{max}, f falls exponentially; below p_{max}, $f[p] \propto p^{-4/3}$. We find no evidence for different infrared exponents or for infrared occupancies in excess of those described by this scaling solution. We also investigate what the fate of large occupancies would be, both in the electric and the magnetic sector.

description: Jordan cells in transfer matrices of finite lattice models are a signature of the logarithmic character of the conformal field theories that appear in their thermodynamical limit. The transfer matrix of periodic loop models, T_N, is an element of the periodic Temperley-Lieb algebra EPTL_N(β, α), where N is the number of sites on a section of the cylinder, and β= -(q+1/q) = 2 \cos λand αthe weights of contractible and non-contractible loops. The thermodynamic limit of T_N is believed to describe a conformal field theory of central charge c=1-6λ^2/(π(λ-π)). The abstract element T_N acts naturally on (a sum of) spaces V_N^d, similar to those upon which the standard modules of the (classical) Temperley-Lieb algebra act. These spaces known as sectors are labeled by the numbers of defects d and depend on a {\em twist parameter} v that keeps track of the winding of defects around the cylinder. Criteria are given for non-trivial Jordan cells of T_N both between sectors with distinct defect numbers and within a given sector.

Three research questions are proposed in terms of protein sequence representation, deep learning framework design and biological background knowledge incorporation. To address these research questions, the distributed representation of protein sequences is proposed and evaluated in sequence-level, residue-level and biological interaction-level prediction tasks; a deep learning framework is proposed for any protein sequence-based residue-level prediction tasks; two multitask deep learning frameworks are applied to take advantage of the correlation between protein structural properties; and a deep transfer learning framework is proposed to incorporate the hierarchical classification systems in biology.

title: Identity politics at Grand Ronde: toward an ethnohistory of the tribes of the Willamette Valley, 1855-1901
Creators: name: Pederson, Nora K.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
In the 19th century the federal government and local Indian agents began a series of policies aimed at breaking down tribal distinctions at the Grand Ronde reservation in northwestern Oregon. The 'successes' of these assimilation policies were well documented by contemporary federal officials, missionaries and anthropologists. Today many ethnohistorians continue to write about the history of Grand Ronde as if tribes had dissolved by the end of the 19th century. Over the last 20 years most scholars who have written on 19th century identity at Grand Ronde view identity as a social phenomenon and try to incorporate indigenous perspectives, but they rely on ethnohistorical data consisting mainly of materials written by European and European American missionaries, federal officials and anthropologists, and the people who created most of this ethnohistorical data tended to systematically exclude descriptions of seemingly ambiguous tribal adaptations in favor of descriptions of compliance or noncompliance with standardized rules or theories made according to their own essentialist administrative categories. Some of the biases inherent in this data make it into today's narratives of tribal identity at Grand Ronde.

Long-term drifts of stray electric fields in a Paul trap

description: We investigate the evolution of quasi-static stray electric fields in a linear Paul trap over a period of several months. Depending on how these electric fields are initially induced we observe very different time scales for the field drifts. Photo-induced electric fields decay on time scales of days. We interpret this as photo-electrically generated charges on insulating materials which decay via discharge currents. In contrast, stray fields due to the exposure of the ion trap to a beam of Ba atoms mainly exhibit slow dynamics on the order of months. We explain this observation as a consequence of a coating of the trap electrodes by the atomic beam. This may lead to contact potentials which can slowly drift over time due to atomic diffusion and chemical processes on the surface. In order not to perturb the field evolutions, we suppress the generation of additional charges and atomic coatings in the Paul trap during the measurements. For this, we shield the ion trap from ambient light and only allow the use of near-infrared lasers. Furthermore, we minimize the flux of atoms into the ion trap chamber. Long-term operation of our shielded trap led us to a regime of very low residual electric field drifts of less than 0.03 V/m per day.

title: The Jasmine Revolution and the Tourism Industry in Tunisia

description: The tourism industry is one of the most important industries in the world since it employs “more than 250 million people worldwide” (Coshall, 2003, p. 4). This industry, which includes transport, lodging, and catering, is expected to generate $12,119 billion of revenues and 279,346,000 jobs in 2016 (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 2006). The tourism industry worldwide is also expected to indirectly and directly contribute 10.9% to Gross Domestic Product (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 2006). However, the tourism industry is an extremely sensitive and vulnerable activity which can be impacted significantly by important events such as terrorism, political insecurity, and natural disasters (Coshall, 2003).
This is exactly what happened to Tunisia. Tunisia is a small country located in North Africa. According to some, it is a “strategically irrelevant country” with no oil or natural resources (Mihailovich & Sommer, 2011). However, Tunisia functions thanks to tourism which is crucial to the economy (Ansamed, 2011). Consequently, in order to boost the economy of Tunisia, the government and tourism authorities should examine the impact of the Jasmine Revolution on the tourism industry in order to determine how the industry in Tunisia can recover from the revolution.

First, it identifies and `maps' online criminality, forming a framework in order to allow software to `learn' criminal behaviour. Then, it demonstrates automated detection and classification of child exploitation imagery, via open source software capable of running on low-end hardware. This capability represents a major leap in the investigation and combating of online radicalisation and trade in child exploitation materials.

description: We study timelike U-dualities acting in three and four directions of 11-dimensional supergravity, which form the groups $SL(2)\times SL(3)$ and SL(5). Using generalised geometry, we find that timelike U-dualities, despite previous conjectures, do not change the signature of the spacetime. Furthermore, we prove that the spacetime signature must be $(-,+,...,+)$ when the U-duality modular group is either $\frac{SL(2)\times SL(3)}{SO(1,1)\times SO(2,1)}$ or $\frac{SL(5)}{SO(3,2)}$. We find that for some dual solutions it is necessary to include a trivector field which is related to the existence of non-geometric fluxes in lower dimensions. In the second part of the paper, we explicitly study the action of the dualities on supergravity solutions corresponding to M2-branes. For a finite range of the transformation, the action of $SL(2)\otimes SL(3)$ on the worldvolume of uncharged M2-branes charges them while it changes the charge of extreme M2-branes. It thus acts as a Harrison transformation. At the limits of the range, we obtain the "subtracted geometries" which correspond to an infinite Harrison boost. Outside this range the trivector field becomes non-zero and we obtain a dual solution that cannot be uniquely written in terms of a metric, 3-form and trivector. Instead it corresponds to a family of solutions linked by a local SO(1,1) rotation. The SL(5) duality is used to act on a smeared extreme M2-brane giving a brane-like solution carrying momentum in the transverse direction that the brane was delocalised along.

description: Decision making under uncertainty is an important topic in many Industries, such as telecommunication, logistics and energy management. For example, scheduling electricity generators in light of demand and production uncertainties is almost impossible without the help of computers. We tackle such decision problems using a two-step approach. First, we write a model of the problem using mathematics, and secondly, we deploy appropriate algorithms to find a solution to the problem. The contribution of this thesis is two-fold, first we propose techniques to improve mathematical models, and secondly, we present algorithmic innovations to find high quality solutions quickly.

title: Just what is genius?
Creators: name: Vaughan, Connell
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2020

description: The image of the genius figure as an individual with rare artistic creativity is an inheritance of Romantic aesthetics and European Enlightenment philosophy that emphasised individual freedom, spontaneity and creative self-expression. The term is commonly understood as a byword for the self-assertion of the artist as an individual with a special gift of inspired vision. As such, the famous quote of the 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer that "talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see" neatly captures our understanding of the term.

description: This research was motivated by a relative lack of understating of the nature of BI system use and outcomes in both the BI industry and academic research. High-quality published research on the topic of BI system use and outcomes is limited. This research provides insights about the nature of BI system use and outcomes that are applicable to BI practice. In addition, this research has contributed to IS theory with the development of models of BI system use and outcomes. It has proposed and provided evidence of an alternative pattern of indirect BI use that can be efficient and effective.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Tilt angles of close to 30,600 sunspots are determined using Mount Wilson daily averaged magnetograms taken from 1974 to 2012, and MDI/SoHO magnetograms taken from 1996 to 2010. Within a cycle, more than 90% of sunspots have a normal polarity alignment along the east-west direction following Hale's law. The median tilts increase with increasing latitude (Joy's law) at a rate of ~0.5 degree per degree of latitude. Tilt angles of spots appear largely invariant with respect to time at a given latitude, but they decrease by ~0.9degree per year on average, a trend which largely reflects Joy's law following the butterfly diagram. We find an asymmetry between the hemispheres in the mean tilt angles. On average, the tilts are greater in the southern than in the northern hemisphere for all latitude zones, and the differences increase with increasing latitude.

description: This research used an insider’s perspective to examine the interplay between archives and collective memory. It involved a critical reflexive study of the role of recordkeeping in the collective memory processes of the Auckland University Tramping Club. Outcomes of the research include a new methodology to tailor archival interventions to community needs; new recordkeeping knowledge in the Club; a new concept of collective-memory maintenance as a complex, adaptive system embodied in the community, from which records should not be separated; and new understanding that the impact of “Place” on recordkeeping is missing from existing models of archival theory and practice.

description: This thesis examines the development of a new Collaborative Instructional Systems Design (CISD) model to facilitate the development of collaborative learning applications, specifically in the context of Large-Scale Shared Digital Spaces (LSSDS). The CISD model provides interdependent phases, sub-phases and three new taxonomies, to guide designers through a process that assists them in identifying collaborative opportunities through the analysis of learners, the content and the collaborative tasks involved. These three new taxonomies complement Bloom’s Learning Taxonomy and have been designed with collaboration and collaborative learning in mind.

Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic

description: BackgroundAustralian guidelines recommend that all people aged 50-70 years old actively consider taking daily low-dose aspirin (100-300 mg per day) for 2.5 to 5 years to reduce their risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite the change of national CRC prevention guidelines, there has been no active implementation of the guidelines into clinical practice. We aim to test the efficacy of a health consultation and decision aid, using a novel expected frequency tree (EFT) to present the benefits and harms of low dose aspirin prior to a general practice consultation with patients aged 50-70 years, on informed decision-making and uptake of aspirin.MethodsApproximately five to seven general practices in Victoria, Australia, will be recruited to participate. Patients 50-70 years old, attending an appointment with their general practitioner (GP) for any reason, will be invited to participate in the trial. Two hundred fifty-eight eligible participants will be randomly allocated 1:1 to intervention or active control arms using a computer-generated allocation sequence stratified by general practice, sex, and mode of trial delivery (face-to-face or teletrial). There are two co-primary outcomes: informed decision-making at 1-month post randomisation, measured by the Multi-dimensional Measure of Informed Choice (MMIC), and self-reported daily use of aspirin at 6 months. Secondary outcomes include decisional conflict at 1-month and other behavioural changes to reduce CRC risk at both time points.DiscussionThis trial will test the efficacy of novel methods for implementing national guidelines to support informed decision-making about taking aspirin in 50-70-year-olds to reduce the risk of CRC and other chronic diseases.Trial registrationThe Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR) ACTRN12620001003965 .

All Diagrams Neat and Beautiful, All Networks Great and Small

description: In this thesis, we examined approaches to improve the use of network diagrams for networks with different sizes. We proposed an optimal layout for small networks that can easily adapt to different aesthetics. For large networks, we proposed a summary representation that provides enough insight into the structure of the network to perform overview tasks, but hides details that could potentially overwhelm the users. We also identified a threshold with respect to network size, beyond which the use of such summary representations is recommended.
An Analysis of the socio-economic impact of casino gaming in Mesquite, Nevada, and its implications for public policy
Creators: name: Hetfeld, Janice K.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2000

description: This study is a preliminary analysis of the socio-economic impact of casino gaming in Mesquite, Nevada. Mesquite is being studied from this perspective in order to provide policymakers with information that will aid in the determination of public policy relevant to and in conjunction with casino gaming activity. A combination of site visits to the area and interviews with casino executive personnel and relevant law enforcement was conducted for the purposes of gathering information for this study. Three police departments (Mesquite, Nevada, Cedar City, Utah and St. George, Utah) were interviewed to determine the crime rate in jurisdiction. Relevant data has been provided by each department, which indicates the rate of Part I and Part II for their respective communities. Additionally, visitor volume and demographics of the gambling population in Mesquite have been provided by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (see Exhibits A and B, respectively). Information relevant to the revenue produced in the Mesquite, Nevada area because of the gambling activity has been provided by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board (Exhibit C). A combination of a literature review and demographics provided by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor's Authority, was used to provide information relevant to the social issue of compulsive gaming. Issues relevant to the quality-of-life of local resident's as a result of the implementation of, and increase in, casino gaming in Mesquite, Nevada, have been provided in this study through the use of a comparative model. A study conducted in Cripple Creek, Colorado was used for this purpose due to that community's introduction of casino gaming into a "small, rural, community," similar to Mesquite, Nevada. This study is the first of its kind for the area. It is not comprehensive in nature. The study's findings, as discussed in the SUMMARY, and the recommendations, discussed in the CONCLUSION, are based upon this and prior studies on the subject of casino gaming. It is recommended that additional studies on crime and compulsive gaming be conducted to determine what, if any changes, are occurring in these areas as the activity of casino gaming continues or increases in Mesquite, Nevada. Relevant findings (SUMMARY, Chapter 4) confirm the social and economic benefit of the casino gaming activity in Mesquite, Nevada.
