A Limping Militant Democracy
Creators: name: Gatti, Andrea
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2024

description: In contrast to Germany, which has a broader protection system, “militant” antiextremism in Italy is articulated in two major areas: the criminalization of fascism apologia and the banning of political movements that refer to fascism. Moreover, in Italy, unlike Germany, banning formal parties (and not just political groups) is still a controversial issue although the Constitution, at least in theory, would admit its feasibility. There is no precedent. However, Italy is a noisy and vibrant democracy and there is no danger that fascism might appear just around the corner. Nevertheless, the real danger requires attentive supervision from public institutions and societies as a whole: that some extremist ideas, if tolerated beyond measure, may regain strength and legitimacy on the political stage, normalizing the abnormal and finally slowly jeopardizing the democratic debate.

Dilemma Demokratieschutz

description: Ein Dilemma zeichnet sich durch einen Entscheidungszwang zwischen mehreren Varianten aus, ohne dass es eine unzweifelhaft richtige Lösung gibt. In ein Dilemma scheint auch die Abwehr des „Autoritären Nationalradikalismus“ der AfD zu führen. Die AfD zu verbieten, um ihre auf Destabilisierung gesellschaftlicher und staatlicher Institutionen und „Systemwechsel“ angelegte Politik zu unterbinden, wäre ebenso misslich wie die Augen vor ihrer Gefährlichkeit, ihren Erfolgen und Wahlaussichten zu verschließen und allein auf die demokratische Resilienz der Bevölkerung zu vertrauen. Weder allein auf ein Parteiverbot zu setzen noch ausschließlich auf die Mobilisierung der gesellschaftlichen Abwehrkräfte zu hoffen, ist risikolos.

Gendering security in EU’s external actions in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States: l’Être et le Paraître
Creators: name: Piga, Graziella
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: The European Union (EU) is a normative gender actor for its internal policy. Since the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 and the establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) in 2010, the EU has worked to create more coherence between its internal and external policies. This thesis examines whether the EU is a gender actor in the area of foreign and security policy, discerning how it has embraced the Women Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda in its work in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). Beginning with the 2008 Comprehensive Approach to the adoption of the EU 2018 Strategic Approach to WPS, this thesis further analyses the intersection of these policies with key security policies and the EU Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), which is seen as the primary funding instrument to be deployed in cases of crisis and conflict.

description:

description: Through critical frame analysis of policy and programmes I identify whether the EU has created a ‘path towards mainstreaming gender’ for its staff and key actors engaged in foreign and security issues. The analysis of elite interviews with EU staff based in Brussels and in different FCAS provide an opportunity to scrutinise the EU approach to gender equality and WPS and the role of actors involved and responsible for the implementation of the WPS Agenda, at the HQ and field mission level.

description:

description: This thesis makes a significant contribution to the body of literature that looks at the EU as a gender actor in foreign affairs. It concludes that the EU has made several steps towards demonstrating its commitment to the WPS Agenda, but it is not the kind of gender actor that it purports to be in its foreign and security work in FCAS. The continual progress and improved gender frames in policy documents at the HQ level are undermined by the persistence of parallel paths, policy hierarchies and gender resistance at the HQ and field level. There is a clear cleavage between the way these policies are intended and understood at HQ and the way they are implemented on the ground in real-life scenarios. Thus, the EU remains a key donor that supports gender equality endeavours with ad-hoc funding, but in the larger framework of security strategies and actions ‘gender’ and ‘security’ follow parallel paths, and gender issues remain as a second-order politics.

Between Legal Deficiencies and Political Restraint
Creators: name: Berthout, Augustin
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Parteienwissenschaften
Year: 2024

description: Traditionally, it is Germany, not France, which is presented as the model example of militant democracy. Among the various provisions of the German Basic Law, Article 21 (2), setting out the procedure for banning political parties, is perhaps one of the clearest expressions of the basic constitutional decision in favour of a streitbare Demokratie. Nevertheless, setting concepts aside and examining empirical data, it is interesting to note that Germany has banned fewer political parties than France since the end of the Second World War. However, the practice of banning political parties in France may not be the best way to protect democracy. Yet, as the law currently stands, it could certainly be one of the most effective ways of undermining democracy.

description: Ein Parteiverbot ist eine repressive Maßnahme, eine Abwehr, keine in die Zukunft gerichtete Politik. Es wird die Menschen, die die Verfassungsfeinde wählen, nicht überzeugen. Ein Verbot zielt auf die Organisationsstruktur und staatliche Finanzierung. Das kann ein sinnvolles Vorgehen sein. Aber es löst das gesellschaftliche Problem nicht. Es hält die rechte Mobilisierung im günstigsten Fall institutionell etwas auf. Es bedarf nachhaltiger sozialer und kultureller Förderung in der Fläche. Neben der sicheren finanziellen und ideellen Grundlage für Demokratie- und Aufklärungsprojekte braucht es eine infrastrukturelle Stärkung von Kommunen und ländlichen Räumen.

description: The CrowdMapping Mirafiori Sud (CMMS) pilot project, carried out by the Polytechnic of Turin (Italy), involved the academic world (students and professors), the Mirafiori Onlus Foundation, the local administration and the community in a participatory and inclusive process. The district is a large area of ​​Turin characterized by a high average age of its inhabitants and a high percentage of foreigners. The aim of the project is to identify and report, through the use of ICT, the obstacles that prevent residents - the most vulnerable categories - from using public space. In the start-up phase, it was not born as a PBL approach, but during the application the PBL was considered a development perspective in the educational experience starting from the students' proposals and the exchange of their skills, in the specific declination of the PBL approach known as community engaged learning. For students, this version of PBL has proven to be strategic in the implementation phases of the project, in particular in the mapping of interested parties and the data set and connections between networks of actors.

description: Optical wireless (OW) technologies are an emerging field utilizing optical sources to replace existing radio wavelength technologies. The vast majority of work in OW focuses on communication; however, one smaller emerging field is indoor OW positioning. This emerging field essentially aims to replace GPS indoors. One of the primary competing methods in indoor OW positioning is angle-of-arrival (AOA). AOA positioning uses the received vectors from several optical beacons to triangulate its position. The reliability of this triangulation is fundamentally based on two aspects: the geometry of the optical receiver’s location compared to the optical beacon locations, and the ability for the optical receiver to resolve the incident vectors correctly. The optical receiver is quantified based on the standard deviation of the azimuthal and polar angles that define the measured vector. The quality of the optical beacon geometry is quantified using dilution of precision (DOP). This proceeding discusses the AOA standard deviation of an ultra-wide field-of-view (FOV) lens along with the DOP characteristics for several optical beacon geometries. The optical beacon geometries used were simple triangle, square, and hexagon optical beacon geometries. To assist the implementation of large optical beacon geometries it is proposed to use both frequency and wavelength division multiplexing. It is found that with an ultra-wide FOV lens, coupled with the appropriately sized optical beacon geometry, allow for high accuracy positioning over a large area. The results of this work will enable reliable OW positioning deployments.

description: Targeted green infrastructure (GI) is a promising passive control system for air pollution. However, there is a lack of clear guidance regarding the optimal configuration and plant composition of GI under divergent contexts and considering different spatial scales. The core objectives of this PhD project were: (i) to critically evaluate the literature and identify effective GI design principles for ambient air quality; (ii) to develop a prototype GI design framework and user-directed decision support tool (DST); (iii) to investigate gaps in the literature regarding the efficacy of vegetation barriers; (iv) to investigate potentially viable plant species for air pollution abatement; and (v) to revise the GI design framework and DST to reflect research findings. This iterative process began with a literature review, outcomes of which included a trait-based matrix of 61 potentially advantageous tree species and a supplementary plant selection system. These outcomes supported the development of a GI design framework, which was computerised as a user-friendly DST (HedgeDATE: Hedge Design for Abatement of Traffic Emissions) that uses input data (e.g. planting space) to generate output recommendations (e.g. plant species). A public workshop provided user feedback on the HedgeDATE prototype, to support its development. An extensive field campaign was then undertaken to validate assumptions in the model, including the impacts of foliage longevity and barrier porosity across seasons. This was followed by another extensive study, which investigated the influences of evergreen leaf types on net pollutant deposition and wash-off across rainfall events. Finally, the design framework was revised in accordance with findings, and HedgeDATE was updated to reflect the revised design framework as well as further user feedback. This project has thereby produced a novel GI design tool, for public engagement and practitioner guidance, for the benefit of improved urban air quality and reduced human exposure to air pollution.

description: Photoconductive (PC) terahertz (THz) emitters are often limited by ohmic loss and Joule heating—as these e ects can lead to thermal runaway and premature device breakdown. To address this, the proposed work introduces PC THz emitters based on textured InP materials. The enhanced surface recombination and decreased charge-carrier lifetimes of the textured InP materials reduce residual photocurrents, following the picosecond THz waveform generation, and this diminishes Joule heating in the emitters. A non-textured InP material is used as a baseline for studies of ne- and coarse-textured InP materials. Ultrafast pump-probe and THz setups are used to measure the charge-carrier lifetimes and THz response/photocurrent consumption of the respective materials and emitters. It is found that similar temporal and spectral characteristics can be achieved with the THz emitters, but the level of photocurrent consumption (yielding Joule heating) is greatly reduced in the textured materials.
Intersatellite Ranging with CDMA for Space Traffic Management
Creators: name: BOUHANNA, ZAKARIA
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: The increasing technological and economical demands on space-based services has pushed the boundaries of space domain exploitation towards a new space era.
description: Space traffic is considered a complex contemporary issue originated from the difficulty inherited in the nature of space missions. The access to space infrastructures is considerably more challenging compared to the air or ground domains. Experts view the current space traffic solutions as insufficient for accurate and consistent satellite conjunction assessment. For this reason, precision orbit data obtained from tracking systems onboard active satellites, are commonly used to alleviate, to a degree, the uncertainty regarding space conjunctions.
description: In this research we identify the key factors in the SSA data for a successful space traffic management (STM) system. These factors are (i) SSA data collection, optimisation and sharing, and (ii) SSA data accuracy. In order to design the ranging system, we begin by exploring different radio frequency (RF) observables to reveal their relevance for a STM application. These observables are the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and the propagation time delay. The estimation of the latter involves several communication techniques namely, two-way time transfer (TWTT) and chip-based timing error estimation using direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). Further, the propagation channels chosen for the ranging STM system, are line of sight inter-satellite links (ISLs). This allows for reduced RF latency with a planned support for autonomous, coherent and asynchronous ranging and data sharing capabilities. This prompted the design of a custom physical layer utilising direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) technique. To this end, at the transmitter level, a custom CDMA sequence optimised for accurate inter-satellite ranging and reliable data sharing, is proposed. Further, at the receiver level, optimum sequence detection, acquisition and synchronisation are proposed based on data-assisted correlators. This detection algorithm reduced the detection false- and miss-alarms by 27% and 97% respectively. The proposed CDMA frame is based on orthogonal dual-channel separation which offers considerable noise and interference resilience for data recovery, in addition to precise frequency and timing errors correction during synchronisation. Additionally, the spreading factor allowed sub-sample accuracy, approaching metre-level at the adequate configurations. Consequently, an encoding gain of 16 dB was perceived by combining the data and signature symbols while maintaining metre-level ranging accuracies in low signal-to-noise channels. The system also showed resilience against Doppler shifts, managing precise ranging within 16 kHz frequency errors.
description: Ultimately, the demonstrated ranging and data sharing performance of the proposed system, is targeted to complement the existing methods and disciplines towards a standardised STM solution.

description: The analysis of Australian mythical and ceremonial scenarios proves that for Aboriginal myth, ritual, song and landscape relate to each other, eventually creating a context of intermingling metaphorical constructs, based on the “creation of country” principle. During oral transmission the songs and features of the landscape are subject to small changes; however, they are not immutable (the landscape remains the same, but the interpretation of specific characteristics are subject to change). The syntagmatic order of the myth is arranged mainly around spatial displacements. In accordance with Róheim’s thesis it is very difficult to understand the complex network of meanings when analyzing only one of its elements; therefore, research should combine analysis of myth, ritual, song and landscape. An appropriate procedure should incorporate synchronous analysis as well as exegesis of material from Aboriginal informants, which allow us to set certain events within their cultural framework and, above all, give the myth a narrative character.
Evaluation of Air Pollutants Exposure and Control in the Transport Sector of Greater Cairo

Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: "Air pollution causes 65,000 premature deaths across the Middle East and North Africa every year, where 99% of the population is exposed to pollution that exceeds World Health Organization standards. Nevertheless, studies on the issue are limited. Greater Cairo is the largest megacity in the region where commuters are exposed to excessive pollution. Based on reviewing the literature, conducting field campaigns and emission modelling, this thesis focuses on Greater Cairo on-road transport with the aim to (i) understand car users’ exposure to particulate matter (PM10 with aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm and PM2.5 ≤2.5 µm) and gaseous pollutants under different car settings, (ii) compare PM2.5 exposure in car, microbus, cycling and walking commutes, (iii) assess five transport emission control scenarios against a ‘do nothing’ scenario for 2030, and finally (iv) estimate the corresponding health burden and economic losses associated with exposure to PM2.5 during commutes.
description: This thesis includes two field campaigns where personal exposure air quality data were collected using portable monitors during daily commutes. Emission modelling was also carried out to evaluate mitigation measures. Collected data were analysed to understand concentration variations, spatial variability and hot spots, PM2.5/PM10 ratios, exposure doses, commuting costs, assess control scenarios and estimate health burden and economic losses. Several significant findings were noted from the analysis: (i) the choice of car setting affects exposure levels where windows-open resulted in 48% higher PM2.5 concentrations compared to recirculation and AC, (ii) pedestrians and cyclists were exposed to 3.1-times PM2.5 levels of car users with recirculation and AC, (iii) in terms of emission control measures, inspection and maintenance programs proved most effective in reducing health-damaging pollutants while public transport reduced overall emissions and improved the quality of life, (iv) deaths in the microbus population contributed to 57% of the economic losses due to PM2.5 amongst the four modes."
Charge Transport of Lead Halide Perovskites for Solid State Radiation Detectors
Creators: name: Bennett, Stephanie Hee-Yong
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: This work reports on the properties of lead halide perovskite single crystals specifically for the application of solid state radiation detection. An appreciation of all the key stages in advancing radiation detectors have been developed, starting from the growth of the detector material, processing the as-grown crystals, device fabrication and finally device characterisation. This has resulted in a comprehensive PhD thesis, the novelty of which originates from the choice of perovskite material (FAPbBr3) and the breadth of properties investigated, as well as making direct experimental comparisons with other commonly reported perovskite materials (MAPbBr3 and CsPbBr3).

description:

description: Single crystals were synthesised using a solution-growth method where it was discovered that the quality of produced crystals highly depended on the surrounding environment, in particular the temperature profile and the background light levels. The surface roughness of a detector material was determined to have a direct impact on the overall device performance and therefore various surface processes were developed to reduce roughness and improve surface quality.

description:

description: The charge transport of devices determines their effectiveness as radiation detectors and therefore these properties were studied extensively. FAPbBr3 devices achieved high resistivity values of the order 10^9 Ωcm with electron mobilities of up to 30 cm^2/Vs and electron mobility-lifetime products of up to 1 x 10^-3 cm^2/V. Generally, the electron transport in FA devices was better than hole transport, MA devices were observed to have more balanced electron and hole transport, and Cs devices had significantly better hole transport. The X-ray sensitivity of devices was also assessed where Cs devices showed the highest sensitivity up to 4000 μC/Gycm^2, followed by FA (2000 μC/Gycm^2) then MA (1000 μC/Gycm^2) which is comparable to current commercially available detector sensitivities. The response to gamma rays were also studied and the reasons for challenges in acquiring well resolved gamma-energy spectra were investigated.

description: A party can only be banned if it “actively seeks” to undermine or abolish the constitutional order, and that requires conclusive evidence of planned action with at least the prospect of success. The bar is understandably set very high, rendering the prohibition largely ineffective against the most threatening form of democratic decay in our societies: the gradual rotting away of constitutional institutions instigated by unscrupulous agents and skilled demagogues operating in a toxic atmosphere of political alienation, shrillness, and anxiety. The only suitable remedy against this cultural malaise is what John Stuart Mill once called “a strong barrier of moral conviction” – intellectual militancy by concerned citizens in the public sphere, instead of institutional militancy by government officials in the courtroom. In the end, the fate of constitutional democracy is in the hands of ordinary people, not engraved on some perfectly contrived juridical formula. I am afraid this is as good as it gets.

description: Australia has witnessed changes in the visual, performing arts and literary markets wrought by the demands of globalization. The Australian film industry has embraced the opportunities presented by access to overseas markets and expertise. For Australian literature however, the discourse is one of doom and gloom; rhetoric of crisis pervades the popular press and specialist broadsheet supplements. The ‘death of the literary novel’ is touted as a direct result of the push towards globalization of the publishing industry and the dominance in Australia of the big international houses and lists. It is the contention of this paper that the rhetoric of crisis articulated in Australian literary circles is actually a backlash against the deconstruction of and criticism of male literary hegemony. I argue also that this is a global phenomenon rather than one specific to the Australian literary scene. The popularity of ‘Chick Lit.’ as evidenced by global sales data, including in the growth within the small Australian market tells us that the readers of these novels inhabit a shared cultural space, irrespective of the novels’ countries of origin. Has the increase in the publication of ‘Chick Lit’ its basis in postfeminist times; a political backlash by the masculine hegemony in Western cultures seeking to encourage women out of the workplace and back into the realm of domesticity, and conservative heterosexual relationships? Or is this thematic commonality of the novels from the global literary–sistahood, especially within the Anglophone cultures, part of a post-feminist or postmodernist paradigm shift as a result of globalization?

description: Obwohl die Philippinien geographisch zum Osten gehören, wurde ihre Musik in großem Maße vom Westen beeinflusst. Die Musik in den Dörfern des Hoch- und Tieflandes, die kulturell stark indigen geprägt sind, ist stark von asiatischen Elementen beeinflusst. Spanische und amerikanische Einflüsse sind vor allen in städtischen Gebieten auszumachen.

title: Sustainability of the Transport and Mobility System through Shared Vehicle Services
title: Car-sharing and Ride-sourcing in Urban China
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: ZHENG, YI
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Innovations in the transport and mobility sector have emerged over the past decades under the umbrella term of the sharing economy. Ride-sourcing and car-sharing are two examples of such innovations. Ride-sourcing companies, such as Uber and Didi Chuxing, have attracted attention mostly in media even though academic research on ride-sourcing is relatively young and rare, especially considering its social sustainability from the perspective of consumers. Likewise, car-sharing has been developed in the western markets over a longer period that the service in China only started over the past few years. Therefore, there is a research gap on social aspects of car-sharing in the Chinese context. This research aims to evaluate the social impact of these two types of vehicle sharing services in the urban China.
description: The research was conducted through mixed-methods. The researcher targeted on two cities in China, Beijing and Guangzhou. To explore the services’ impact on social sustainability, a series of qualitative interviews were conducted with key stakeholders, such as service providers, transport planning experts, drivers and passengers of ride-sourcing and users of car-sharing. Additionally, a quantitative approach was used to assess the impact of either service on consumers’ attitude and behaviour towards travelling and towards vehicle ownership. Through logistic regression analysis, the relationship between different mobility styles and their corresponding influence over attitude and behaviour was established. For instance, the research results indicated that the more frequent usage of carpooling mode within ride-sourcing was linked with a positive attitude on the sharing practice and this mode displayed significant influence on forgoing or delaying private vehicle ownership. Whereas frequent use of car- sharing in China did not necessarily lead to any significant vehicle ownership reduction.
description: To author’s knowledge, this is the first research that explored ride-sourcing and car-sharing in detail in Chinese social sustainability context. With different sharing modes, the results can help policymakers to tailor the design of sustainable mobility strategies for transport sector. For example, efforts should be made on improving the convenience of public transport, especially buses, in order to compete with the increasing use of sharing services. At the same time, the shared use of car-sharing fleets in the form of carpooling should also be promoted to potentially curb the demand for private car ownership. The emphasis on urban spaces in this research can also inspire other regions undergoing urbanisation to build a more sustainable transport and mobility system.

description: Graffiti ist eine der städtischen Kunstformen, die weltweit eine rebellische Ausdrucksform für Jugendliche darstellt. Diese Kunst entwickelte sich Anfang der 70er Jahre in den USA und zog ihre Kreise von Philadelphia bis in die Bronx und nach Brooklyn — in die inneren Stadtteile von New York. Beim Graffiti sprüht der Künstler meist seinen Namen, welchen er kalligraphisch mit einfacher bis zu komplizierter avantgardistischer Schreibweise (wild style letters) darstellt. Diese Kunstform hat sich von den Vereinigten Staaten bis nach Europa und Südamerika ausgebreitet. Die Graffitischreiber in diesen Ländern entwickelten daraufhin ihren eigenen Stil und ihre eigene Graffitikultur.
