description: This dissertation concentrates on a circular labor migration from the provincial towns of the Kurdish region in southeastern Turkey, to rural areas of western Turkey. Each year, an estimated one and a half million workers migrate west with their families for several months to work in rural jobs such as farm labor, sharecropping, forestation, and charcoal making. Based on a total of sixteen months of ethnographic research between October 2014 and August 2016, following the migrant workers between their hometowns and work sites, this dissertation uses this labor practice as an ethnographic lens to analyze both the socio-political conditions under which this labor practice is shaped, and the material practices through which economic surplus is produced, managed, and distributed. Exploring the everyday life in the hometowns of the migrant workers, it investigates the racialized and regionally-divided class formation in Turkey, which heavily relies on labor migration from the Kurdish region. These power relations are also reproduced in western worksites through racialized and securitized practices of labor discipline and labor control. In this labor regime, the Kurdish family not only fulfills functions of social security and social reproduction, but also directly becomes the unit of production and the social hub through which relations of production are organized. However, the temporary character of this labor practice also allows the Kurdish migrant workers to construct a life in their hometowns that is not entirely determined by the structures of political domination and exploitation but is shaped through kinship, neighborhood politics, and everyday relations of multiple subjectivities to their material surroundings.

description: Individuals who are more easily disgusted tend to be more politically conservative. Individuals who have a preference for order also tend to be more politically conservative. In the present research, we hypothesised that these three variables are psychologically interrelated. Specifically, trait disgust encourages a generalised search for order, which, in turn, encourages the endorsement of political positions that aim to maintain societal order. Taking an individual differences approach, we operationalised the preference for order via Orderliness, one aspect of the Big Five trait Conscientiousness. Across six samples (total N = 1485), participants completed measures of trait disgust, aspect/trait personality, and political orientation. Analyses revealed that Orderliness was a consistent mediator of the association between trait disgust and conservatism. Analyses of subscales of disgust revealed preliminary evidence that Orderliness most consistently mediated the relationships between Contamination, Pathogen, and Sexual disgust and conservatism. These data suggest that disgust-sensitive people extend their preference for order in the physical environment (e.g. tidying up one's room) to the sociopolitical environment (e.g. strengthening traditional norms). The present findings illustrate one way in which emotional, cognitive, and personality processes work together to influence political orientation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Polar codes have gained extensive attention during the past few years and recently they have been selected for the next generation of wireless communications standards (5G). Successive-cancellation-based (SC-based) decoders, such as SC list (SCL) and SC flip (SCF), provide a reasonable error performance for polar codes at the cost of low decoding speed. Fast SC-based decoders, such as Fast-SSC, Fast-SSCL, and Fast-SSCF, identify the special constituent codes in a polar code graph off-line, produce a list of operations, store the list in memory, and feed the list to the decoder to decode the constituent codes in order efficiently, thus increasing the decoding speed. However, the list of operations is dependent on the code rate and as the rate changes, a new list is produced, making fast SC-based decoders not rate-flexible. In this paper, we propose a completely rate-flexible fast SC-based decoder by creating the list of operations directly in hardware, with low implementation complexity. We further propose a hardware architecture implementing the proposed method and show that the area occupation of the rate-flexible fast SC-based decoder in this paper is only $38\%$ of the total area of the memory-based base-line decoder when 5G code rates are supported.

Subjects: subject: Catholic women
subject: Church leadership

subject: Catholic tradition

description: In this thesis I analyze the presence of difference in the nomadic feminist theologizing of a group of eight Catholic women from an Australian diocese. This small christian community named Sophia-of which I am a member-has been meeting since October 1993 to support one another and share stories of our experiences as marginalized Catholics. In attempting to name and understand the various levels of rejection we had encountered, group members reflected on the performances of Catholic Church leaders, and we theologized on church leadership as well as other ecclesial and doctrinal issues. Participants readily agreed to be involved in the research project I was proposing, and they became interactive partners with me during the period that produced the theological discourses analyzed in the thesis. This production stage involved four phases: firstly, open or non-directed theologizing on issues raised by participants; secondly, a guided study-with myself as facilitator-of five traditional Matthean leadership texts; thirdly, a guided study of five Matthean women's leadership texts-again facilitated by me; and fourthly, a return to open or non-directed theologizing. My analysis of the group's theologizing focuses on d~'erence. Using Rosi Braidotti's work on embodied sexual difference which identifies three coexistent levels of difference, I explore and account for difference as it occurs: between women (Sophia) and men (the male representative voice of the institutional church); among women (in the seemingly homogeneous Sophian group); and within individual women (in Sophia). The analysis identifies signifiers of difference that signal Sophia ~s nomadic feminist renegotiations of dominant canonical Catholic discourses. Moreover, I account for the resisting readings mobilized by various Sophian members by exploring ideologies and key elements of interest-specifically power, conflict, desire, agency-that underpin Sophia 's theologizing. In doing this, difference, as evidenced in the multiple voices/perspectives that constitute the Catholic tradition and that feature in Sophia ~ theologizing, is valorized. The designing and de-signing of Sophia ~s nomadic feminist theological discourses in this thesis demonstrates that Sophia 's theological 'acts of going' intensified difference and engendered for participants multiple, transformative pathways and kaleidoscopic rainbows of ever so beautiful theological possibilities.

description: The purpose of this three-article dissertation is to explore the intersection of educational leadership, instructional technology, and culturally responsive education in pursuit of a new leadership framework called technology leadership for social justice. This dissertation employs three emerging methodologies, namely three-step latent class analysis (LCA), multilevel latent class analysis (MLCA), and meta-narrative review, to examine typologies of teachers and their perceptions of technology use and technology leadership with large-scale, quantitative data and to offer a conceptual framework of school and district technology leadership through a culturally responsive lens. The first study utilized latent class analysis (LCA) with the NCES Fast Response Survey System Teachers’ Use of Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools, 2009 (FRSS 95) dataset (n=2,764) to identify four different types of technology-using teachers: Dexterous, Presenters, Assessors, and Evaders. I also found that teachers in low-income schools are more likely to be in the teacher subgroups that use technology in less impactful ways in the classroom. The second study used multilevel latent class analysis (MLCA) with the 2011-12 Texas School Technology and Readiness (STaR) Charts (n=6,935 schools in n=910 districts) to find three subgroups of teacher perceptions of technology leadership at the school level, High STaR Schools, Moderate STaR Schools, and Low STaR Schools, and four subgroups of teacher perceptions of technology leadership at the district level, Model STaR Districts, High STaR Districts, Moderate STaR Districts, and Low STaR Districts. I found that the Texas teachers in the school and district level subgroups with the lowest perceptions of technology leadership had the lowest student achievement outcomes and were more likely to serve students from historically minoritized backgrounds. The third study employed a systematic, meta-narrative review of the research literature exploring the intersection of technology, leadership, and culturally responsive education, integrating the findings from sixty studies into a conceptual framework of technology leadership for social justice. Each of the three dissertation articles explores the implications for the development of a more evidence-based, sociocultural conception of school and district technology leadership in research, policy, and practice.

description: This qualitative research study was conducted to ascertain how urban school leaders conceptualized school discipline policies in ways that supported the education of students of color as well as how their values and beliefs informed the implementation of school discipline policies in ways that supported the education of students of color. Urban school leadership participants’ experience was primarily in the nation’s largest school district, New York City. Two research questions guided the framework of this study: (a) How do urban school leaders conceptualize school discipline policies in ways that change the way students of color are disciplined? and (b) How do the values and beliefs of urban school leaders inform their implementation of school discipline policies in ways that support the education of students of color? Qualitative research methodology was used for this study. Data were collected through individual interviews with participants and expert participants. The findings and data analysis constructed a road map for culturally relevant school leaders to conceptualize and implement school discipline policies to support students of color in schools and change the way they were disciplined.

description: Signal processing over graphs has recently attracted significant attentions for dealing with structured data. Normal graphs, however, only model pairwise relationships between nodes and are not effective in representing and capturing some high-order relationships of data samples, which are common in many applications such as Internet of Things (IoT). In this work, we propose a new framework of hypergraph signal processing (HGSP) based on tensor representation to generalize the traditional graph signal processing (GSP) to tackle high-order interactions. We introduce the core concepts of HGSP and define the hypergraph Fourier space. We then study the spectrum properties of hypergraph Fourier transform and explain its connection to mainstream digital signal processing. We derive the novel hypergraph sampling theory and present the fundamentals of hypergraph filter design based on the tensor framework. We present HGSP-based methods for several signal processing and data analysis applications. Our experimental results demonstrate significant performance improvement using our HGSP framework over some traditional signal processing solutions.

description: This art history thesis examines the early video work of Iranian-born artist Shirin Neshat’s and a seminal installation work by Palestinian artist Emily Jacir. I argue that Neshat and Jacir employ two distinct processes of representing the ‘Eastern other’ for primarily American and European audiences: Neshat’s is a dialectic one, using a system of hyperaestheticized divisive binaries that dialectically break down into a network of ambiguities, while Jacir takes a factographic approach that is unequivocally political and pedagogical in everything from its deadpan materiality to its title. These two processes, I argue, are not merely formal decisions, but are tailored specifically to the sociopolitical circumstances of Iran and Palestine, respectively. The thesis is broken into three sections examining the means of these approaches. My first chapter provides an indepth visual analysis of all three works and examines the way in which their aesthetic approaches construct their processes of representation. My second chapter discusses Neshat and Jacir’s use of the body, and the way in which their works’ immersive viewer experiences make the spectator’s body a site that questions the boundaries enacted by the East-West binary. Crucially, this chapter examines the ways in which Jacir’s tent piece begins to operate dialectically—though still in a very different mode from Neshat’s videos—by using Western bodies to invoke the presence of Palestinian bodies within the tent. The third chapter looks at the two women and their oeuvres as products of two very different exiles, and examines the ethics of the appropriation of the exilic condition for the Western gaze. This final chapter and the conclusion ultimately attempt to provide a critical stance on Neshat and Jacir’s relative success of their objectives.

description: We predict that pairs of polar molecules can be weakly bound together in an ultracold environment, provided that a dc electric field is present. The field that links the molecules together also strongly influences the basic properties of the resulting dimer, such as its binding energy and predissociation lifetime. Because of their long-range character these dimers will be useful in disentangling cold collision dynamics of polar molecules. As an example, we estimate the microwave photoassociation yield for OH-OH cold collisions.

Subjects: subject: Tourists, Phuket, Thailand

description: This thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of tourist behaviour in the context of a Long-Stay Holiday (LSH). Accordingly, variables of interest include tourist motivation, long-stay tourists, and relaxation, together with responses of mature-aged travellers in this situation. In this thesis, a mature-aged traveller is over 45 years and a long-stay is treated as being from 10 to 90 days. The site for data collection is Phuket, Thailand, one of the world’s most popular destinations for relaxation holidays, especially long-stay holidays. The research problem has been stated as: How do mature-aged international tourists behave during a Long-Stay Holiday? This research is important for several reasons. The growth in ageing societies worldwide demonstrates a greater opportunity for tourism industries to attract mature-aged individuals to travel more and stay longer (Chen & Shoemaker, 2014; Wong & Musa, 2014). The population aged over 60 years is expected to continue growing quickly and will make up over 20% of the population worldwide within another two decades (UN, 2015). Indeed, tourism industries are particularly interested in the senior tourist market as seniors and retirees often have more resources, such as time and money, for travel ( Jang & Wu, 2006; Sangpikul, 2008) and tend to stay longer (Alegre & Pou, 2006) than other age segments. Consequently, tourist destinations are keenly interested in long-stay tourism and a number of Asian countries have introduced specific Long Stay Projects to attract and retain long-stay tourists, especially mature-aged tourists. Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines have all introduced such projects.

We also give explicit upper bounds for min(k) for arbitrary Riemannian metrics on certain submanifolds of complex projective space. In certain cases, these estimates are sharp: we give examples where equality is obtained.

description: Purpose: We have previously reported that skin barrier function is disrupted in mice with colonic tumours induced by azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulphate (DSS). We postulated that the impaired skin barrier function was associated with reactive oxygen species derived from gp91phox. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the impaired skin barrier function using gp91phox−/− mice. Materials and methods: We induced colonic tumorigenesis in C57BL/6j mice by AOM + DSS administration and evaluated the influence of reactive oxygen species on skin barrier function by using the hydroxyl radical scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) or gp91phox−/− mice. Damage to the colon and skin following treatment with AOM + DSS was monitored using protein analysis methods and by detection of inflammatory mediators in the plasma. Results: NAC could not prevent the increase in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and decrease in skin hydration level caused by AOM + DSS in gp91phox+/+ mice. However, gp91phox−/− mice showed no change in TEWL and skin hydration level. The dermal expression levels of nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich containing family, pyrin-domain containing 3 (NLRP3), and caspase-1 were reduced in gp91phox−/− mice. Moreover, the plasma concentrations of interleukin-18 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) were lower in gp91phox−/− mice than those in gp91phox+/+ mice. Inhibition of hydrogen peroxide production from superoxide anions in the gp91phox−/− status prevented the increased TEWL and decreased skin hydration level noted with degradation of NLRP3 and caspase-1. Conclusions: Superoxide anions may play an important role in the onset of the impaired skin barrier function in mice with colonic tumours.
Finite Verification of Infinite Families of Diagram Equations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ZX, ZW and ZH calculi are all graphical calculi for reasoning about pure state qubit quantum mechanics. All of these languages use certain diagrammatic decorations, called !-boxes and phase variables, to indicate not just one diagram but an infinite family of diagrams. These decorations are powerful enough to allow complete rulesets for these calculi to be expressed in around fifteen rules. Historically rules involving !-boxes have not been verifiable by computer. We present the first algorithm for reducing infinite families of equations involving !-boxes into finite verifying subsets. The only requirement for this method is a mild property on the connectivity of the !-boxes. Previous results had focussed on finite case analysis of phase variables in ZX, a result we also extend for ZW and ZH, as well as providing a general framework for further languages. The results presented here allow proof assistants to reduce infinite families of problems (involving combinations of phase variables and !-boxes) down to undecorated, case-by-case verification, in a way not previously possible. In particular we note the removal of the need to reason directly with !-boxes in verification tasks as something entirely new. This forms part of larger work in automated verification of quantum circuitry, conjecture synthesis, and diagrammatic languages in general. The methods described here extend to any diagrammatic languages that meet certain simple conditions.

description: The question of how motivation affects our behavior is a long debated issue. Beyond pleasure and pain, motivation is closely related to cognitive functions and a key player in the self-regulation. The relationship between cognition and motivation was investigated from several angles, but a parsimonious explanation still awaits.
      In order to create a framework to understand the interaction between cognition and motivation, I chose two aspects of this relationship. Executive functions are one of the most studied psychological concepts and their components closely resemble the units of motivational processes. Secondly, a specific neural signature, dopamine, was selected due to its involvement in both executive functions and motivational processes. To enable dissection of motivation, in this thesis, we used a translational and a multilevel approach.
      In the first part, we focused on schizophrenia, which has a clinical presentation of cognitive (especially executive functions) and motivational deficits. Using a transgenic animal model mimicking the dopaminergic dysfunction related to schizophrenia, we manipulated motivation genetically, behaviorally, and pharmacologically and presented the changes in interval timing function.
      Part 2 of this thesis consists of 3 studies performed in humans to delineate the role of motivational orientations as measured by regulatory focus and regulatory mode surveys. A probabilistic reversal task and an n-back task were used to explore different components of executive functions; namely maintenance and monitoring, updating the representations, switching, and behavioral inhibition. The results of these studies showed that specific motivational orientations and their interactions could predict cognitive performance.

description: Computer-aided reconstruction of no-longer existent synagogues amounts to a “virtual comeback”. Irreversible destruction having removed iden-tity-establishing buildings from the urban surface forever is the principal reason for re-creating them by imagination. Following the destruction of the so-called “Reichskristall-Night” of November 1938 the synagogues of the Jewish community in Vienna will only survive by means of virtual reconstruction. 60 years later, in the commemorative year of 1998 the first synagogue reconstruction was initiated. The medium-range goal, however, aims at the reconstruction of at least ten further synagogues within a project to be carried out in stages over a period of several years. Changes in personnel also call for a structure to be tracked down later on. This contribution deals with handling of modeling in a systematic manner taking into consideration software fluctuations aiming at a traceable data structure being of importance for subsequent use and following-up work.

description: State-of-the-art thermodynamic simulation of energy conversion processes requires proprietary software. This article is an attempt to refute this statement. Based on object-oriented programming a simulation and exergy analysis of a combined cycle gas turbine is carried out in a free and open-source framework. Relevant basics of a thermodynamic analysis with exergy-based methods and necessary fluid property models are explained. Thermodynamic models describe the component groups of a combined heat and power system. The procedure to transform a physical model into a Python-based simulation program is shown. The article contains a solving algorithm for a precise gas turbine model with sophisticated equations of state. As an example, a system analysis of a combined cycle gas turbine with district heating is presented. Herein, the gas turbine model is validated based on literature data. The exergy analysis identifies the thermodynamic inefficiencies. The results are graphically presented in a Grassmann chart. With a sensitivity analysis a thermodynamic optimization of the district heating system is discussed. Using the exergy destruction rate in heating condensers or the overall efficiency as the objective function yields to different results.
Dissecting Dopamine D2 Receptor Signaling

description: Dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that activates G protein and arrestin signaling molecules. D2R antagonism has been a hallmark of antipsychotic medications for more than half a century. However, this drug-class is associated with substantial side effects that decrease quality of life and medication compliance. The development of novel antipsychotic medications with superior therapeutic and side effect profiles has been hampered in part due to a poor understanding of the specific D2R populations and downstream signaling molecules that must be blocked to confer therapeutic efficacy. It has been proposed that antipsychotic medications confer their effects through the blockade of arrestin but not G protein signaling downstream of D2R, and thus substantial efforts have gone towards the development of ligands that selectively block arrestin signaling. However, this approach suffers from several major limitations, namely that blockade of G protein signaling may also be important in conferring antipsychotic effects. Moreover, currently available pharmacological and genetic tools that have been used to probe G protein and arrestin signaling downstream of D2R in vivo suffer from on- and off-target effects that add substantial confounds to our understanding of these processes. Herein, we describe the development of several tools that can be used to probe G protein and arrestin-mediated processes in vivo with high specificity, as well as mechanisms by which these processes are activated.

Dissecting Transcriptional Regulatory Networks with Systems Biology Approaches

description: In the past decade, technologies such as the DNA microarray and ChIP-on-chip have generated a large amount of high-throughput data for biologists. Although these data has provided us systems-level information about gene regulation, a major challenge in systems biology is to derive methodologies that will infer the underlying dynamics and mechanisms of gene regulation. This thesis research is focused on understanding these mechanisms of transcriptional regulation using systems biology approaches. Transcription regulatory networks play an important role in mediating external stimuli and coordinating responses to changing environments. Different methods that infer regulatory interactions directly from microarray data have been developed in the recent past. However, the implicit assumption in these methods that the transcription factor (TF) mRNA expression can be used as a proxy of its activity at protein level is not always correct, due to post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications of TFs. In this study, a method named iARACNe was developed. It uses the inferred TF activities to estimate the regulatory activity between TFs and their targets. The study demonstrated that the accuracy of the inferred networks using this method was greatly improved. Two additional methods, OmniMiner and coEDGi, which allow a better understanding of the physical interactions between TFs and target genes, were developed in this thesis research. OmniMiner detects and predicts the potential binding sites for the TFs of interest, while coEDGi enables identification of common enhancers upstream of co-regulated genes. Compared to other approaches which only allow isolated analyses, the systems biology approaches developed in this research provide an opportunity for biologists to study transcriptional regulations from both functional genomics and regulatory sequence perspectives simultaneously.

description: We describe the twisted affine superalgebra $sl(2|2)^{(2)}$ and its quantized version $U_q[sl(2|2)^{(2)}]$. We investigate the tensor product representation of the 4-dimensional grade star representation for the fixed point subsuperalgebra $U_q[osp(2|2)]$. We work out the tensor product decomposition explicitly and find the decomposition is not completely reducible. Associated with this 4-dimensional grade star representation we derive two $U_q[osp(2|2)]$ invariant R-matrices: one of them corresponds to $U_q[sl(2|2)^{(2)}]$ and the other to $U_q[osp(2|2)^{(1)}]$. Using the R-matrix for $U_q[sl(2|2)^{(2)}]$, we construct a new $U_q[osp(2|2)]$ invariant strongly correlated electronic model, which is integrable in one dimension. Interestingly, this model reduces, in the $q=1$ limit, to the one proposed by Essler et al which has a larger, $sl(2|2)$, symmetry.
