description: We study the slow time evolution of localized states of the open-boundary Lieb lattice when a magnetic flux is applied perpendicularly to the lattice and increased linearly in time. In this system, Dirac cones periodically disappear, reappear and touch the flat band as the flux increases. We show that the slow time evolution of a localized state in this system is analogous to that of a zero-energy state in a three-level system whose energy levels intersect periodically and that this evolution can be mapped into a classical precession motion with a precession axis that rotates as times evolves. Beginning with a localized state of the Lieb lattice, as the magnetic flux is increased linearly and slowly, the evolving state precesses around a state with a small itinerant component and the amplitude of its localized component oscillates around a constant value (below but close to 1), except at multiples of the flux quantum where it may vary sharply. This behavior reflects the existence of an electric field (generated by the time-dependent magnetic field) which breaks the C4 symmetry of the constant flux Hamiltonian.

title: An exploration of counselling psychologists’ understandings of domestic violence and abuse: Implications for theory and practice
Creators: name: Knight, Zoe
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2012

description: A growing body of knowledge suggests many mental health practitioners will work therapeutically with women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse (DVA). Relatively little research has focused specifically on the felt readiness of counselling psychologists when working with this group of clients. The present study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the private and public experiences of counselling psychologists in their work with women who have experienced DVA. The analytic aim is exploratory and aims to provide insight into the ways counselling psychologists understand DVA and the practices which establish and sustain therapeutic interventions undertaken. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were carried out with six counselling psychologists who had worked with women living with DVA. The narratives produced were mapped using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) highlighting understandings of DVA as well as some of the dilemmas and challenges that the participants engaged in as they negotiated their therapeutic work with their women clients. Four master themes emerged from the IPA analysis – “privately owned and professional/institutional/public ideological tensions”, “disclosure of domestic violence and abuse affects the therapeutic boundaries and goals”, “working with domestic violence and abuse provokes human, humanitarian and humanistic responses” and “hermeneutic repositioning”. These collectively demonstrate the multi-layered private and public conflicts that make up counselling psychologists therapeutic work with women experiencing DVA. The study also discusses the importance of raising awareness of the private and public clashes that working with DVA has the potential to ignite and the need to increase readiness in counselling psychology trainees to engage in the angst potentially triggered by working with DVA. The strategic role in increasing readiness to work with DVA, of therapeutic guidelines for DVA, reflective practice, self-care and supervision are discussed. This study also acknowledges the importance of specialist care for women experiencing DVA and calls for specialist DVA training for practitioners.

description: We present models of wormhole under the Finslerian structure of spacetime. This is a sequel of our previous work (Eur Phys J 75:564, 2015) where we constructed a toy model for compact stars based on the Finslerian spacetime geometry. In the present investigation, a wide variety of solutions are obtained that explore wormhole geometry by considering different choices for the form function and energy density. The solutions, like the previous work, are revealed to be physically interesting and viable models for the explanation of wormholes as far as the background theory and literature are concerned.

description: Proper sampling is the foundation for all scientific enquiry aimed at making generalizable claims about a wider set of cases. Indeed, inferential statistical analysis presupposes representative samples and units of analysis that can be considered as independent observations. Establishing a sample of issues on which lobbying may take place, which is at the same time representative of an overall population of issues and of the varying levels of conflict and political mobilization, however, is a major challenge for interest group research. Drawing on existing research practices, we discuss a series of different approaches that may be used to establish a sample of policy issues. The focus then is on the policy-centred stratified sampling procedure used in the INTEREURO project. While our approach has important advantages, we extensively discuss several challenges we faced as well as the procedures we developed in order to deal with these.

description: We present a detailed derivation of the master equation describing a general time-dependent quantum system with classical Poisson white noise and outline its various properties. We discuss the limiting cases of Poisson white noise and provide approximations for the different noise strength regimes. We show that using the eigenstates of the noise superoperator as a basis can be a useful way of expressing the master equation. Using this we simulate various settings to illustrate different effects of Poisson noise. In particular, we show a dip in the fidelity as a function of noise strength where high fidelity can occur in the strong noise regime for some cases. We also investigate recent claims [Jing et al., Phys. Rev. A 89 032110 (2014)] that this type of noise may improve rather than destroy adiabaticity.

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

description: Stellar astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on stellar evolution. New discoveries, many thanks to systematic time-domain surveys, have underlined the role of binary star interactions in a range of astrophysical events, including some that were previously interpreted as due uniquely to single stellar evolution. Here, we review classical binary phenomena such as type Ia supernovae, and discuss new phenomena such as intermediate luminosity transients, gravitational wave-producing double black holes, or the interaction between stars and their planets. Finally, we examine the reassessment of well-known phenomena in light of interpretations that include both single and binary stars, for example supernovae of type Ib and Ic or luminous blue variables. At the same time we contextualise the new discoveries within the framework and nomenclature of the corpus of knowledge on binary stellar evolution. The last decade has heralded an era of revival in stellar astrophysics as the complexity of stellar observations is increasingly interpreted with an interplay of single and binary scenarios. The next decade, with the advent of massive projects such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, the Square Kilometre Array, the James Webb Space Telescope and increasingly sophisticated computational methods, will see the birth of an expanded framework of stellar evolution that will have repercussions in many other areas of astrophysics such as galactic evolution and nucleosynthesis.

description: This paper investigates Hermann Weyl’s reception of philosophical concepts stemming from the German Idealist Johann Gottlieb Fichte. In particular, Weyl’s ‘agens theory’ of matter, which he held around 1925, will be looked at. In the extant literature, the admittedly also important—influence of Husserl on Weyl has mainly been addressed. Thus, apart from investigating some detailed Fichtean inheritances in Weyl’s concepts of causality, chance and continuity, the general difference which Weyl saw between the philosophies of Fichte and Husserl will also be discussed. For Weyl this is above all a difference between an active constructivism and a rather passive phenomenological seeing (Schau). Further, the paper shows in some detail the way Weyl was drawn into a certain reading of Fichte by his Zurich colleague, the philosopher Fritz Medicus. The methodological frame of the paper is that of Konstellationsforschung, a historical and systematic approach which proves to be particularly fruitful when investigating a (broadly speaking) German Idealist context and which allows special attention to be given to the acting subjects within the constellation under investigation. Conversely, Weyl’s agens theory suggests amendments to this methodology.

Coherent population trapping with polarization modulation

description: Coherent population trapping (CPT) is extensively studied for future vapor cell clocks of high frequency stability. In the constructive polarization modulation CPT scheme, a bichromatic laser field with polarization and phase synchronously modulated is applied on an atomic medium. A high contrast CPT signal is observed in this so-called double-modulation configuration, due to the fact that the atomic population does not leak to the extreme Zeeman states, and that the two CPT dark states, which are produced successively by the alternate polarizations, add constructively. Here we experimentally investigate CPT signal dynamics first in the usual configuration, a single circular polarization. The double-modulation scheme is then addressed in both cases: one pulse Rabi interaction and two pulses Ramsey interaction. The impact and the optimization of the experimental parameters involved in the time sequence are reviewed. We show that a simple sevenlevel model explains the experimental observations. The double-modulation scheme yields a high contrast similar to the one of other high contrast configurations like push-pull optical pumping or crossed linear polarization scheme, with a setup allowing a higher compactness. The constructive polarization modulation is attractive for atomic clock, atomic magnetometer and high precision spectroscopy applications.

title: Staging madness: representations of madness on the early modern English stage
Creators: name: Ziegler, Molly Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Early modern drama, medical humanities, Shakespeare, gender studies, madness, dramaturgy, theatre and performance.

description: This thesis examines representations of madness on Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouse stages. It explores how theatrical portrayals of mad themes reflected and reinforced contemporary views on insanity. I argue that discourses on madness and theatre formed a mutually influential relationship, in which perceptions of insanity shaped and in turn were shaped by the period’s theatrical and dramaturgical practices. Chapter 1 introduces this argument through its investigation of early modern meanings of madness. This includes an analysis of a range of discourses on insanity (including medical, ecological, theological and social perspectives). This chapter demonstrates how the period’s definitions of insanity were multi-faceted, rather than singular, in nature. Chapter 2 examines how the discourses discussed in chapter 1 resonated in dramaturgical representations of madness in contemporary play texts. Drawing from several of the period’s comedic and tragic plays (including William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night [1601-1602] and John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi [1612-1614]), this chapter argues that these depictions not only reflected contextual understandings of madness, but encouraged audiences to align insanity with anxiety and social subversion. Chapter 3 expands on this attention to dramaturgy by addressing how these portrayals translated from page to stage. This involves a study of the staging practices used in public amphitheatres like the Globe, and private indoor theatres like the Blackfriars playhouse. This chapter thus explores how theatrical portrayals of insanity engaged the audiences’ senses to further reinforce contemporary anxieties over madness. Chapter 4 builds on my exploration of how theatrical practices reflected and produced cultural discourses on insanity by exploring how the theatre itself became part of these discourses. Specifically, I explore how the institution of theatre came to symbolise madness within the period’s antitheatrical discourses. Such a focus on the theatre’s reputation helps demonstrate the influence these staged representations of madness had on certain public sectors’ perceptions of real-life mad persons. I argue that such portrayals enhanced objectified views of mad persons as morally depraved and dangerous to societal health. This final chapter highlights the interactive relationship between theatre and madness. This thesis builds on modern scholarship by engaging not only with textual representations of madness, but with how these portrayals were staged and how they communicated with early modern culture.

description: We have detected a 12 M$_{\rm Jup}$ planet orbiting in or near the habitable zone of a main-sequence A star via the pulsational phase shifts induced by orbital motion. The planet has an orbital period of $840\pm20$ d and an eccentricity of 0.15. All known planets orbiting main-sequence A stars have been found via the transit method or by direct imaging. The absence of astrometric or radial-velocity detections of planets around these hosts makes ours the first discovery using the orbital motion. It is also the first A star known to host a planet within 1$σ$ of the habitable zone. We find evidence for planets in a large fraction of the parameter space where we are able to detect them. This supports the idea that A stars harbor high-mass planets in wide orbits.

description: The first data release from the Gaia mission contains accurate positions and magnitudes for more than a billion sources, and proper motions and parallaxes for the majority of the 2.5~million Hipparcos and Tycho-2 stars. We describe three essential elements of the initial data treatment leading to this catalogue: the image analysis, the construction of a source list, and the near real-time monitoring of the payload health. We also discuss some weak points that set limitations for the attainable precision at the present stage of the mission. Image parameters for point sources are derived from one-dimensional scans, using a maximum likelihood method, under the assumption of a line spread function constant in time, and a complete modelling of bias and background. These conditions are, however, not completely fulfilled. The Gaia source list is built starting from a large ground-based catalogue, but even so a significant number of new entries have been added, and a large number have been removed. The autonomous onboard star image detection will pick up many spurious images, especially around bright sources, and such unwanted detections must be identified. Another key step of the source list creation consists in arranging the more than $10^{10}$ individual detections in spatially isolated groups that can be analysed individually. Complete software systems have been built for the Gaia initial data treatment, that manage approximately 50~million focal plane transits daily, giving transit times and fluxes for 500~million individual CCD images to the astrometric and photometric processing chains. The software also carries out a successful and detailed daily monitoring of Gaia health.
Rotating Leaks in the Stadium Billiard

description: The open stadium billiard has a survival probability, $P(t)$, that depends on the rate of escape of particles through the leak. It is known that the decay of $P(t)$ is exponential early in time while for long times the decay follows a power law. In this work we investigate an open stadium billiard in which the leak is free to rotate around the boundary of the stadium at a constant velocity, $ω$. It is found that $P(t)$ is very sensitive to $ω$. For certain $ω$ values $P(t)$ is purely exponential while for other values the power law behaviour at long times persists. We identify three ranges of $ω$ values corresponding to three different responses of $P(t)$. It is shown that these variations in $P(t)$ are due to the interaction of the moving leak with Marginally Unstable Periodic Orbits (MUPOs).

description: A network effect is introduced taking into account competition, cooperation and mixed-type interaction amongst agents along a generalized Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra model. It is also argued that the presence of a market capacity enforces an indubious limit on the agent's size growth. The state stability of triadic agents, i.e., the most basic network plaquette, is investigated analytically for possible scenarios, through a fixed point analysis. It is discovered that: (i) \market" demand is only satisfied for full competition when one agent monopolizes the market; (ii) growth of agent size is encouraged in full cooperation; (iii) collaboration amongst agents to compete against one single agent may result in the disappearance of this single agent out of the market, and (iv) cooperating with two rivals may become a growth strategy for an intelligent agent.

description: Ni and Co containing precursor derived ceramics (ceramers) were prepared from a polysiloxane based preparation route. All catalysts were characterised by BET, XRD and TEM as well as by water and heptane adsorption and tested for CO2 methanation and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. Different pyrolysis temperatures between 400 and 600 °C were used to get catalysts with different surface hydrophilicities. With increasing synthesis temperature less organic groups remain on the surface, resulting in a more hydrophilic catalyst. For all Ni containing ceramers, well dispersed particles in the range of 3 nm were formed and comparable surface areas were found. The catalysts with the lowest tendency towards water adsorption showed the highest activity for CO2 methanation. In contrast to the Ni catalysts, for the Co containing ceramers particle formation was dependent on the pyrolysis temperature. While no metallic particles were formed at 400 °C, small particles in the range of ~5 nm were obtained, using a pyrolysis temperature of 500 °C. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature to 600 °C, the particle size increased to ~10 nm. First tests for CO2 methanation and Fischer–Tropsch reaction were successfully carried out and the catalysts with the less hydrophilic surface showed higher activity and a higher selectivity towards C5+-products.

description: Optical tomographic reconstruction of a 3D nanoscale specimen is hindered by the axial diffraction limit, which is 2-3 times worse than the focal plane resolution. We propose and experimentally demonstrate an axial super-resolution evanescent wave tomography (AxSET) method that enables the use of regular evanescent wave microscopes like Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscope (TIRF) beyond surface imaging, and achieve tomographic reconstruction with axial super-resolution. Our proposed method based on Fourier reconstruction achieves axial super-resolution by extracting information from multiple sets of three-dimensional fluorescence images when the sample is illuminated by an evanescent wave. We propose a procedure to extract super-resolution features from the incremental penetration of an evanescent wave and support our theory by 1D (along the optical axis) and 3D simulations. We validate our claims by experimentally demonstrating tomographic reconstruction of microtubules in HeLa cells with an axial resolution of $\sim$130 nm. Our method does not require any additional optical components or sample preparation. The proposed method can be combined with focal plane super-resolution techniques like STORM and can also be adapted for THz and microwave near-field tomography.

Die Langzeitperspektive ermöglicht konkretere Einblicke in die spezifische Entwicklungsdynamik von Bedienphilosophien und Bauweisen der Interfaces als die in der Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) stark verbreiteten schematischen Entwicklungsphasenmodelle.

description: An operator matrix $H$ associated with a lattice system describing three particles in interactions, without conservation of the number of particles, is considered. The structure of the essential spectrum of $H$ is described by the spectra of two families of the generalized Friedrichs models. A symmetric version of the Weinberg equation for eigenvectors of $H$ is obtained. The conditions which guarantee the finiteness of the number of discrete eigenvalues located below the bottom of the three-particle branch of the essential spectrum of $H$ is found.

description: Die Schwangerschaft und die postpartale Anpassung führen zu einer erhöhten Bildung freier Radikale. Die überkritische Radikalenkonzentration steht im Zusammenhang mit verschiedenen perinatologischen Erkrankungen. Das antioxidative Potenzial ist ein Schutzsystem gegen die schädigende Wirkung freier Radikale. In dieser Studie wurde erstmals das kutane antioxidative Potenzial von Schwangeren und Neugeborenen bestimmt. Die Mütter zeigten einen signifikanten Abfall des antioxidativen Potenzials post partum. Die Werte der Neugeborenen waren signifikant höher als die Ausgangswerte der Mütter.
title: “You Can’t Plan to Leave Under the System”: Experiences of economic abuse and seeking support for separation
Creators: name: Glinski, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: As has long been recognised, leaving an abusive partner is a complex process rather than a singular event and rather than asking the question ‘Why doesn’t she just leave?’, those supporting victims/survivors need to consider the substantial barriers that women have to overcome before leaving is a viable option. Despite the acknowledgement that the lack of financial and economic resources present significant barriers to separation, economic abuse, the form of abuse responsible for the depletion of these resources, remains understudied. As a result, little is known about victims/survivors’ identification of economic abuse, the financial strategies they undertake to facilitate separation, and the financial support they seek and receive from services. Furthermore, it is understood that social security benefits are often the only source of income for victims/survivors leaving an abusive partner, it is therefore important to understand how social security policies exacerbate or mitigate victims/survivors’ financial viability. This study therefore examines 1) women’s experiences of economic abuse and the impact this has on their ability to leave an abusive partner; 2) how economic abuse is understood and conceptualised by professionals, and 3) how financial safety nets are constructed at the policy and practice levels.

This thesis draws on semi-structured narrative interviews with female victims/survivors (n=30) and focus groups with professionals who support them (n=51) across a range of metropolitan, regional, and rural locations in Scotland. Through the application of the concept and framework of ‘candidacy’ to the participants’ experiences, this thesis highlights the shortcomings in the identification of economic abuse and the lack of financial support available. It is the first to apply the candidacy framework to victims/survivors of economic abuse and those supporting them, resulting in refinements to the framework as well as a significant theoretical contribution to the wider help-seeking literature. It also provides novel insight into economically abusive tactics perpetrated postseparation which prevent victims/survivors from rebuilding their lives. These tactics have been captured in the ‘Post-Separation Economic Abuse Wheel’ - a resource which is now utilised internationally by victims/survivors and practitioners.

The thesis concludes that there is scope for policy and practice application of the findings which could enhance the identification and responses to economic abuse to help victims/survivors regain economic independence and security.

Klimawandel und präventives Risiko- und Küstenschutzmanagement an der deutschen Nordseeküste (KRIM) – Teilprojekt IV - Politisch-administrative Steuerungsprozesse (PAS)

subject: 320

description: Unter Küstenschutz versteht man im allgemeinen den Schutz vor den zerstörenden Einwirkungen des Meeres, konkret: sowohl den Schutz gegen Überflutungen als auch vor Landverlusten. Heute sind die Niederungen des Küstenfestlandes an der deutschen Nordseeküste insgesamt durch das Konzept des „linienhaften Schutzes“ sowie eine Hauptdeichlinie gegen Sturmfluten geschützt. Seit der Sturmflut von 1962 wird das vormals maßgebliche reagierende Handeln dabei verstärkt durch vorsorgende Planungen ergänzt (Bezirksregierung Weser-Ems 1997). Eine andere, nämlich in den Diskussionen um globalen Wandel, nachhaltige Entwicklung und den potentiellen regionalen Folgen eines anthropogenen Klimawandels verfolgte Vorsorgeorientierung hingegen hat das deutsche Klimafolgenforschungsprogramm ins Leben gerufen. Das daran beteiligte BMBF-Verbundprojekt „KRIM“ soll in dieser Hinsicht umfassend und interdisziplinär die Konsequenzen eines beschleunigten Meeresspiegelanstiegs und deutlich verstärkter einzelner Extremereignisse (Sturmfluten) für die natürlichen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen der deutschen Nordseeküste untersuchen. Im Zentrum der auf einen beschleunigten Meeresspiegelanstieg bezogenen Zustands- und Wirkungsanalysen steht dabei der Begriff des Risikos sowie die Frage nach seiner Dynamik und Kontrollierbarkeit, kurz: die Frage nach möglichen Anpassungs- und Reaktionsmaßnahmen als Grundlagen für ein modernes Küstenschutzmanagement an der deutschen Nordseeküste. Ziel ist es dabei, Handlungsempfehlungen für den Umgang mit möglichen Gefährdungen und Risiken für eine Region zu liefern.
BCL2 family proteins interactions as prognostic marker and determinants of therapy responses in breast cancer

description: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer, which accounts for 15-20% of this disease and is currently treated with genotoxic chemotherapy. The BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) family of proteins controls the process of Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Permeabilization (MOMP), which is required for the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in response to genotoxic agents. We previously developed a deterministic systems model of BCL2 protein interactions, DR_MOMP that calculates the sensitivity of cells to undergo mitochondrial apoptosis. Here, we determined whether DR_MOMP predicts responses of TNBC cells to genotoxic agents and the re-sensitization of resistant cells by BCL2 inhibitors. Using absolute protein levels of BAX, BAK, BCL2, BCL(X)L and MCL1 as input for DR_MOMP, we found a strong correlation between model predictions and responses of a panel of TNBC cells to cisplatin (R2 = 0.96) and paclitaxel treatments (R2 = 0.94). This outperformed single protein correlations (best performer BCL(X)L) and BCL2 proteins ratio). Recently, several reports highlighted the function of BCL2 proteins in the regulation of other cellular aspects, such as metabolism. In this work, we used a single cell time-lapse microscopy approach to analyse the contribution of BCL2 and BCL(X)L in the regulation of breast cancer bioenergetics. We studied the ATP and the mitochondrial membrane potential kinetics of breast cancer cells under different conditions. We found that overexpression of BCL2 and BCL(X)L led to a metabolic advantage of ER+ breast cancer cells, which is potentially linked to increased tumour progression. Additionally, we observed that the treatment with BCL2 selective inhibitors, which have now entered clinical trials, alters mitochondrial metabolism and dynamics. We further demonstrate that combination treatment of BCL2 antagonists with a glycolytic inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, is a potential treatment for ER+ and TN breast cancer.

description: On 2011 September 6, we observed an X2.1-class flare in continuum and H$α$ with a frame rate of about 30~Hz. After processing images of the event by using a speckle-masking image reconstruction, we identified white-light (WL) flare ribbons on opposite sides of the magnetic neutral line. We derive the lightcurve decay times of the WL flare kernels at each resolution element by assuming that the kernels consist of one or two components that decay exponentially, starting from the peak time. As a result, 42% of the pixels have two decay-time components with average decay times of 15.6 and 587 s, whereas the average decay time is 254 s for WL kernels with only one decay-time component. The peak intensities of the shorter decay-time component exhibit good spatial correlation with the WL intensity, whereas the peak intensities of the long decay-time components tend to be larger in the early phase of the flare at the inner part of the flare ribbons, close to the magnetic neutral line. The average intensity of the longer decay-time components is 1.78 times higher than that of the shorter decay-time components. If the shorter decay time is determined by either the chromospheric cooling time or the nonthermal ionization timescale and the longer decay time is attributed to the coronal cooling time, this result suggests that WL sources from both regions appear in 42% of the WL kernels and that WL emission of the coronal origin is sometimes stronger than that of chromospheric origin.
