description: Abstract

The Banda Marine Tourism Park, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province, has extraordinary ecotourism potential. This potential includes the beauty of the underwater world, marine biodiversity, and high historical and cultural value. However, this potential has not been optimally optimized. This research aims to develop a sustainable ecotourism development and management model in the Banda Sea Aquatic Tourism Park, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province. This study used qualitative research methods. The way to collect data in this research is by conducting a literature study and referring to various relevant and trustworthy text sources. After the data is collected, analysis is carried out in three steps: data reduction to filter significant information, data presentation to visualize the findings, and conclusion to describe the effectiveness of the research results. The research results found that the model for developing and managing sustainable ecotourism in the Banda Marine Aquatic Tourism Park, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province, involves a series of strategies that encourage the active participation of local communities in the management process. Conservation principles are applied in the area's management, including restoring damaged ecosystems and protecting endangered species. In addition, an educational approach is accepted through outreach and training programs.

description: Motivated by the phenomenological scenario of the chiral magnetic effect that can be possibly found in high-energy heavy ion collisions, we study the role of very intense magnetic fields and strong CP violation in the phase structure of strong interactions and, more specifically, their influence on the nature of the chiral transition. Direct implications for the dynamics of phase conversion and its time scales are briefly discussed. Our results can also be relevant in the case of the early universe.

description: In the last decade, the reverse vaccinology approach shifted the paradigm of vaccine discovery from conventional culture-based methods to high-throughput genome-based approaches for the development of recombinant protein-based vaccines against pathogenic bacteria.  Besides reaching its main goal of identifying new vaccine candidates, this new procedure produced also a huge amount of molecular knowledge related to them. In the present work, we explored this knowledge in a species-independent way and we performed a systematic in silico molecular analysis of more than 100 protective antigens, looking at their sequence similarity, domain composition and protein architecture in order to identify possible common molecular features. This meta-analysis revealed that, beside a low sequence similarity, most of the known bacterial protective antigens shared structural/functional Pfam domains as well as specific protein architectures. Based on this, we formulated the hypothesis that the occurrence of these molecular signatures can be predictive of possible protective properties of other proteins in different bacterial species. We tested this hypothesis in Streptococcus agalactiae and identified four new protective antigens. Moreover, in order to provide a second proof of the concept for our approach, we used Staphyloccus aureus as a second pathogen and identified five new protective antigens. This new knowledge-driven selection process, named MetaVaccinology, represents the first in silico vaccine discovery tool based on conserved and predictive molecular and structural features of bacterial protective antigens and not dependent upon the prediction of their sub-cellular localization.

description: It is believed that the way of being and the communicative-relational skills of every individual have multifactorial origins, including the quality of primary relationships with caregivers. 
For some time, the need for health care professionals to possess specific communicative and interpersonal skills has been highlighted. To the degree course in Nursing, like to all other degree programs related to health, access is granted to students who have large individual differences, both in terms of personality, and in terms of relational skills. Each academic year, therefore, the people responsible for the didactic organization of every course, are faced with having to prepare a training plan capable of addressing communicative-relational aspects and, at the same time, of being adequate to the real attitudes of incoming students. Thus, the need for appropriate tools for measuring the personological and vocational traits considered specific to health professions was born.
 This study has a twofold objective. On one hand, it aims at selecting a battery of psychological tests to detect psychological and attitudinal patterns, to facilitate the coordinators of graduate courses in their didactic organization and planning of educational training; on the other hand, it seeks to assess the correlations between communicative-relational skills (Relational-Communicative style, according to the model of patient-centered medicine-TRS) (Mucchielli’s Test of Spontaneous Attitudes – usual kind of attitude in dual relationships), personality traits (Alexithymia), styles of attachment to parental figures (PBI), and the capability of recognizing facial emotions, in a sample of students enrolled in the first year of a degree in Nursing.
Neutrino velocity measurement with the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam

description: In the thesis is presented the measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam, a muon neutrino beam produced at CERN. The OPERA detector observes muon neutrinos 730 km away from the source.
Previous measurements of the neutrino velocity have been performed by other experiments. 
Since the OPERA experiment aims the direct observation of muon neutrinos oscillations into tau neutrinos, a higher energy beam is employed. This characteristic together with the higher number of interactions in the detector allows for a measurement with a much smaller statistical uncertainty.
Moreover, a much more sophisticated timing system (composed by cesium clocks and GPS receivers operating in “common view mode”), and a Fast Waveform Digitizer (installed at CERN and able to measure the internal time structure of the proton pulses used for the CNGS beam), allows for a new measurement with a smaller systematic error.
Theoretical models on Lorentz violating effects can be investigated by neutrino velocity measurements with terrestrial beams.
The analysis has been carried out with blind method in order to guarantee the internal consistency and the goodness of each calibration measurement.
The performed measurement is the most precise one done with a terrestrial neutrino beam, the statistical accuracy achieved by the OPERA measurement is about 10 ns and the systematic error is about 20 ns.

description: Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for newborn babies and is very important to support the baby's health and development. However, the problem of insufficient breast milk production is still often faced by breastfeeding mothers, especially postpartum mothers. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) have long been known to have various health benefits, one of which is increasing breast milk production. This study aims to analyze the impact of consuming Moringa pudding on the volume and frequency of breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. This research uses a mixed method research method with an experimental approach. The data collection technique in this research is observation and literature study. The collected data was then analyzed to determine the relationship between consumption of Moringa pudding with breast milk volume and frequency of breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. The results of the study showed that postpartum mothers who consumed Moringa pudding experienced a significant increase in the volume and frequency of breast milk compared to those before consuming Moringa pudding. This statement is supported by the statistical results of the MANOVA test showing a significance value of 0.001, which shows that there is a significant positive relationship between consumption of Moringa pudding and breast milk volume and breastfeeding frequency. Therefore, Moringa pudding can be a safe and natural alternative to help postpartum mothers increase breast milk production and meet the baby's nutritional needs.

description: As the closest $L^{\ast}$ galaxy to our own Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is an ideal laboratory for studies of galaxy evolution. The AMIGA project has recently provided observations of the cool ($T\sim10^4$ K) phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of M31, using HST/COS absorption spectra along $\sim40$ background QSO sightlines, located up to and beyond the galaxy virial radius. Based on these data, and by the means of semi-analytic models and Bayesian inference, we provide here a physical description of the origin and dynamics of the cool CGM of M31. We investigate two competing scenarios, in which (i) the cool gas is mostly produced by supernova(SN)-driven galactic outflows or (ii) it mostly originates from infall of gas from the intergalactic medium. In both cases, we take into account the effect of gravity and hydrodynamical interactions with a hot corona, which has a cosmologically motivated angular momentum. We compare the outputs of our models to the observed covering factor, silicon column density and velocity distribution of the AMIGA absorbers. We find that, to explain the observations, the outflow scenario requires an unphysically large (> 100\%) efficiency for SN feedback. Our infall models, on the other hand, can consistently account for the AMIGA observations and the predicted accretion rate, angular momentum and metallicity are consistent with a cosmological infall from the intergalactic medium.

title: Self-Reliance, Social Welfare, and Sacred Landscapes: Mormon Agricultural Spaces and Their Paradoxical Sense of Place
Creators: name: Garner, Anthony Ross
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: What is the sense of place of Mormon agricultural landscapes? That is to say, what makes an LDS Church-owned welfare farm or a Mormon family garden meaningful to those who interact with it? In formulating a partial answer to this question, this thesis demonstrates how religious ideals of self-reliance and social welfare explicitly define Mormon agricultural landscapes, providing a sacred sense of their purpose to those who work and benefit from them. However, these sacred landscapes are complicated by developments of industrial agricultural equipment, corporate institutions, and urban demographics, which tend to isolate people from each other and the land they live from while developing in them a false sense of independence and sustainability. The LDS Church and its membership have learned to mitigate these negative implications to a degree, though I suggest doctrinal reasons they could do better.
As case studies, this thesis examines the motives and methods of an industrially scaled Church welfare farm in Blue Creek, Utah and a Mormon family garden in Bluffdale, Utah. Contextualized within relevant American and Mormon history, I explore the paradoxical sense of place of Mormon agricultural landscapes where ideals of self-reliance and social welfare thrive and social isolation and emotional interconnection coexist, which makes room for principles of economic efficiency and environmental conservation to find a compromise.

description: Abstract

The aim of this study is to inventory and describe the lichenic flora that colonizes the Kasbah walls of Mehdia (Ksar Moulay Ismail), a historical monument in Kenitra. The Kasbah of Mehdia had an aesthetic and architectural value and has suffered over time various alterations. Building materials around the world are exposed to various degradation factors and alteration caused by the climate, living things (biological) and time. The alterations of the monuments can be grouped into three main categories: physical, chemical and biological. The lichen species encountered are Dirina ceratoniae Mont., (1849), Dirinamassiliensis f. massiliensis Durieu & Mont., (1848), Roccellaphycopsis (Ach.) Ach., (1810) and Verrucaria minor Breuss, (2007). These species can cause with other environmental factors the deterioration of building materials of the Kasbah. Lichens can be the cause of modifications of the surfaces of the stones of the monuments by the bio geophysical and bio geochemical processes. Bio-geophysical changes are caused by hyphal penetration beneath the stone surface and contraction and expansion of the lichen and chemical alterations produced by lichens are due to the substances they secrete: oxalic acid, the carbon dioxide produced by respiration.

description: We calculate the fundamental stellar parameters effective temperature, surface gravity and iron abundance - T$_{\rm eff}$, log g, [Fe/H] - for the final release of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) Stellar Library (MaStar), containing 59,266 per-visit-spectra for 24,290 unique stars at intermediate resolution ($R\sim1800$) and high S/N (median = 96). We fit theoretical spectra from model atmospheres by both MARCS and BOSZ-ATLAS9 to the observed MaStar spectra, using the full spectral fitting code pPXF. We further employ a Bayesian approach, using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to map the parameter space and obtain uncertainties. Originally in this paper, we cross match MaStar observations with Gaia photometry, which enable us to set reliable priors and identify outliers according to stellar evolution. In parallel to the parameter determination, we calculate corresponding stellar population models to test the reliability of the parameters for each stellar evolutionary phase. We further assess our procedure by determining parameters for standard stars such as the Sun and Vega and by comparing our parameters with those determined in the literature from high-resolution spectroscopy (APOGEE and SEGUE) and from lower-resolution matching template (LAMOST). The comparisons, considering the different methodologies and S/N of the literature surveys, are favourable in all cases. Our final parameter catalogue for MaStar cover the following ranges: $2592 \leq $ T$_{\rm eff} \leq 32983\;$K; $-0.7 \leq $ log g $ \leq 5.4\;$dex; $-2.9 \leq $ [Fe/H] $\leq 1.0\;$dex and will be available with the last SDSS-IV Data Release, in December 2021.

description: Deformations of the canonical commutation relations lead to non-Hermitian momentum and position operators and therefore almost inevitably to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We demonstrate that such type of deformed quantum mechanical systems may be treated in a similar framework as quasi/pseudo and/or PT-symmetric systems, which have recently attracted much attention. For a newly proposed deformation of exponential type we compute the minimal uncertainty and minimal length, which are essential in almost all approaches to quantum gravity.

title: Changing Delay Discounting: Identification and Evaluation of Ecologically Valid Methods for Reducing Impulsive Choice
Creators: name: Rung, Jillian M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Impulsivity takes many forms, one of which is termed impulsive choice. Impulsive choice entails preference for an outcome due to its immediacy relative to more optimal outcomes that take longer to come to fruition. For example, one may wish to have another serving of a decadent dessert after dinner—but doing so may undermine a longer-term goal of improved health and nutrition. If having the extra serving becomes a habit, the consequences of that choice compound and may lead to, for example, obesity. A high degree of impulsive choice such as this is indeed related to issues such as obesity, drug addictions (e.g., alcohol, opiates), and more; it may also cause these conditions.
Because impulsive choice may lead to the development of poor health conditions, being able to reduce impulsive choice may reduce the occurrence of these conditions and/or help treat them. To date, a variety of studies have been conducted to examine ways to reduce impulsive choice, but it was unclear what methods may be most useful for clinical use in humans. Thus, the first portion of the enclosed research was a literature review in which successful methods for reducing impulsive choice were identified. A particular intervention called Episodic Future Thinking (EFT), which entails vivid imagination of one’s future, was one of the most promising found. However, it was unclear if its positive effects on impulsive choice were due to EFT itself or a placebo-like effect, which can arise from being able to guess the purpose of the intervention.
The remaining portions of this dissertation focused on determining whether people are able to identify the purpose of EFT, and subsequently, if this awareness accounts for the positive effects of EFT on impulsive choice. Across three experiments, we demonstrated that naïve individuals are able to figure out the purpose of EFT (Experiments 1a and 1b), but that being aware of its purpose is unrelated to its positive effects (Experiment 3). These findings give hope that this intervention could be clinically useful, but it did appear that its benefits did not generalize well to novel settings (Experiment 2). Overall, the results of the research showed that EFT produces genuine changes in impulsive choice, but that further research will need to be conducted to understand why it works, and ultimately, how its generalizability can be increased.

description: Abstract

In India, the biggest risk factor for chronic diseases is hypertension. According to recent epidemiological studies, young people and those living in rural areas of India are experiencing a higher rate of increase in hypertension. Young-age hypertension is very common, particularly in the less developed states. India has a far higher prevalence of adverse outcomes from cardiovascular disease due to hypertension than do developed nations. An important result is the low awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, particularly among underserved urban and rural populations. Garlic is a vegetable herb best known as a flavoring for food. Garlic has numerous health benefits; it has an antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antilipid, antimicrobial and antiplatelet effect on the body. Methodology: Present study was conducted to assess the effect of garlic therapy on blood pressure among hypertensive clients in selected Community area. Using quantitative approach with Rondamized controlled design the study was conducted among 60 samples selected by probability simple random sampling technique from selected Community areas in Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh. Results: Regarding the impact of consuming garlic therapy on lowering blood pressure in hypertension patients, 19 (63.4%) of the experimental group's participants had normal blood pressure at the time of the measurement, and 11 (36.6%) had mild blood pressure; in contrast, only 3 (10%) of the Control group's participants had normal blood pressure, 23 (76.6%) had mild blood pressure, and only 4 (13.3%) had moderate blood pressure. The hypertensive patients had a mean score of 21.7, a standard deviation of 5.41, and a calculated "z" value of 6.64. The study's conclusions demonstrate the beneficial effects of garlic therapy consumption on hypertension patient's blood pressure levels.

description: Satellite imagery can detect temporary cloud trails or ship tracks formed from aerosols emitted from large ships traversing our oceans, a phenomenon that global climate models cannot directly reproduce. Ship tracks are observable examples of marine cloud brightening, a potential solar climate intervention that shows promise in helping combat climate change. Whether or not a ship's emission path visibly impacts the clouds above and how long a ship track visibly persists largely depends on the exhaust type and properties of the boundary layer with which it mixes. In order to be able to statistically infer the longevity of ship-emitted aerosols and characterize atmospheric conditions under which they form, a first step is to simulate, with mathematical surrogate model rather than an expensive physical model, the path of these cloud-aerosol interactions with parameters that are inferable from imagery. This will allow us to compare when/where we would expect to ship tracks to be visible, independent of atmospheric conditions, with what is actually observed from satellite imagery to be able to infer under what atmospheric conditions do ship tracks form. In this paper, we will discuss an approach to stochastically simulate the behavior of ship induced aerosols parcels within naturally generated clouds. Our method can use wind fields and potentially relevant atmospheric variables to determine the approximate movement and behavior of the cloud-aerosol tracks, and uses a stochastic differential equation (SDE) to model the persistence behavior of cloud-aerosol paths. This SDE incorporates both a drift and diffusion term which describes the movement of aerosol parcels via wind and their diffusivity through the atmosphere, respectively. We successfully demonstrate our proposed approach with an example using simulated wind fields and ship paths.

description: We present the MSHT20qed set of parton distribution functions (PDFs). These are obtained from the MSHT20 global analysis via a refit including QED corrections to the DGLAP evolution at ${\cal O}(α),{\cal O}(αα_S)$ and ${\cal O}(α^2)$, and containing the photon PDF of the proton. As in the previous MMHT15qed study we use an input distribution for the photon that is derived from the LUXqed formulation, and find good consistency for the photon PDF with that of MMHT15qed, as well as with other recent sets. We also present a set of QED corrected neutron PDFs and accompanying photon distribution, and provide the photon PDF of the nucleons separated into elastic and inelastic contributions. We assess the general expectations for the impact of photon-initiated (PI) corrections to processes entering PDF fits, and review the effect of QED corrections on the other partons and on the fit quality, where electroweak corrections (including PI production) are appropriately added to the cross sections wherever possible. We explore the phenomenological implications of this set by comparing to a variety of benchmark cross sections, finding small but significant corrections due to the inclusion of QED effects in the PDFs.

The functions of evaluation research in citizen participation programs
Creators: name: Perryman, Gavin Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Two main questions form the backbone of this thesis: What is the meaning of citizen participation? What functions might evaluation research serve in citizen participation programs? Much of the thesis is an analysis of the literature in an attempt to explore the boundaries and different understandings of citizen participation. It is argued that the citizen participation phenomenon that arose in the 1960’s has its broad roots in the social strains and tensions brought about, or intensified, by the change processes of modern society, and that the rationales put forth for citizen participation are largely attempts to re solve these crises. The relationships between citizen participation as a strategy for achieving change and citizen participation as a lifestyle (or precursor of the participatory society) are explored. The thesis concludes that citizen participation is not an adequate dynamic for fundamental, structural change; although it has a key role to play through the processes of consciousness—raising and politicization. Two case studies are presented: the development of the Britannia Community Services Centre and the Policy Committees of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. In each case study, the functions that evaluation research performed, or might have per— formed, are examined. It is argued that evaluation research could be a useful tool in helping specific citizen participation programs achieve their goals, and in helping to develop further our understandings of citizen participation. Several general conclusions about effective implementation of citizen participation programs are drawn from the case studies. The importance of the process aspects of participation (opportunities for learning, social interaction, and making a positive contribution) is stressed. It is argued that the issues and the objectives of a citizen participation program need to be clearly defined early on in the process, and that the expectations of the various groups of actors must be laid out on the table. The thesis concludes that citizen participation in planning should be encouraged primarily at the regional level, and that it should be encouraged at the neighbourhood level only when the issues involved are clearly defined and the resources needed to implement the results of the planning process are available.

description: We analyze the integrability of the -extended supersymmetric Calogero–Moser model. We explicitly construct the Lax pair for this system, which properly reproduces all equations of motion. After adding a supersymmetric oscillator potential we reduce the latter to solving for the time evolution operator . The bosonic variables, however, evolve independently of U on closed trajectories, as is required for superintegrability. To visualize the structure of the conserved currents we derive the complete set of Liouville charges up to the fifth power in the momenta, for the supersymmetric model. The additional, non-involutive, conserved charges needed for a maximal superintegrability of this model are also found.

Lignites of this group developed in the middle Miocene over almost the whole of Poland, and therefore they are an important correlation horizon throughout much of the Polish Lowlands. A total of 30 palynological samples from the 3-metre seam from the Adamów deposit (central Poland) were studied in detail. The results revealed the presence of wetland and mesophytic vegetation during the time of sedimentation. The study area was overgrown by palustrine wetland communities similar in their composition to modern pocosins. The climate was warm temperate and humid, which was inferred from the palynoflora composition, including frequency of palaeotropical and palaeotropical/warm-temperate taxa, and the presence of epihyllous fungi. The estimated mean annual temperature (MAT) for the lignite seam at Adamów is 15.7–18.0 °C. Comparison with other palynofloras from the first mid-Polish lignite seam group shows that the climate was more or less homogenous within the entire Polish Lowlands during formation of the group of seams. The MAT ranges are also similar to other results from middle Miocene of Central Europe. The differences between the Adamów palynoflora and palynofloras from central and western Poland, dominated by swamp forests, most probably reflect the succession of plant communities in different hydrological and trophic conditions.

description: Recent HST-ACS observations revealed the presence of a double subgiant branch (SGB) in the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1851. This peculiarity was tentatively explained by the presence of a second population with either an age difference of about 1 Gyr, or a higher C+N+O abundance, probably due to pollution by the first generation of stars. In the present Letter, we analyze VLT-FORS V,I images, covering 12.7x12.7 arcmin, in the southwest quadrant of the cluster, allowing us to probe the extent of the double SGB from ~1.4 to ~13 arcmin from the cluster center. Our study reveals, for the first time, that the "peculiar" population is the one associated to the fainter SGB. Indeed, while the percentage of stars in this sequence is about 45% in the cluster core (as previously found on the basis of HST-ACS data), we find that it drops sharply, to a level consistent with zero in our data, at ~2.4 arcmin from the cluster center, where the brighter SGB, in our sample, still contains ~100 stars. Implications for the proposed scenarios are discussed.

description: The twistor space of the moduli space of solutions of Hitchin’s self-duality equations can be identified with the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space of λ-connections. We use real projective structures on Riemann surfaces to prove the existence of new components of real holomorphic sections of the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space. Applying the twistorial construction we show the existence of new hyper-Kähler manifolds associated to any compact Riemann surface of genus g≥ 2. These hyper-Kähler manifolds can be considered as moduli spaces of (certain) singular solutions of the self-duality equations.

description: For vehicle integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) there are possibly specific requirements on the speed of maximum power point tracking. However, a certain delay in the response of solar cells to fast irradiance changes might impact those requirements on the MPPT. The subject of this work is therefore the investigation of the transient electrical behaviour of state-of-the-art silicon heteroj unction solar cells. We use a fast switchable LED-array and an oscilloscope to investigate the cell voltage of silicon heterojunction solar cells under transient illumination. We find that these cells have a switch-off delay that is smaller than one millisecond when operated at or close to the maximum power point. This can be assumed to be faster than the time scale on that irradiances change typically occur on a car body while driving. We also find that, after switching off the light source, the transient cell voltage does not show a simple capacitive behaviour, but a more complex characteristic. A theoretical analysis shows that this behaviour can be explained by the nonlinear dependency of the diffusion and depletion capacitance and the minority carrier lifetime on the cell voltage.

description: A new dinoflagellate cyst genus and species are described here as Hiddenocysta gen. nov. and Hiddenocysta matsuokae sp. nov. from Holocene sediments in a core from the west coast of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada). The genus Hiddenocysta encompasses spherical to ovoid skolochorate cysts, characterized by a gonyaulacoid plate pattern and a 2P precingular archeopyle. The species H. matsuokae is characterized by a granular wall and slender trifurcate processes with heavily perforated process bases. Two end members are described here based on process morphology and number of processes (formas 1 and 2). Cyst wall chemistry is analyzed using micro-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and reveals a unique dinosporin composition consistent with a gonyaulacoid autotrophic feeding strategy.

description: The finite size spectrum of the critical ℤ2-staggered spin-1/2 XXZ model with quantum group invariant boundary conditions is studied. For a particular (self-dual) choice of the staggering the spectrum of conformal weights of this model has been recently been shown to have a continuous component, similar as in the model with periodic boundary conditions whose continuum limit has been found to be described in terms of the non-compact SU(2, ℝ)/U(1) Euclidean black hole conformal field theory (CFT). Here we show that the same is true for a range of the staggering parameter. In addition we find that levels from the discrete part of the spectrum of this CFT emerge as the anisotropy is varied. The finite size amplitudes of both the continuous and the discrete levels are related to the corresponding eigenvalues of a quasi-momentum operator which commutes with the Hamiltonian and the transfer matrix of the model.
