title: Cultural diffusion and identity : Material culture in Northwest China--II and I millennia BCE.
Creators: name: Vigo, Laura
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2004

description: Chinese North-western Zone designates the border areas of Northern China, including Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Shanxi, inhabited by semi-nomadic and nomadic groups in prehistoric times. The term denotes a broad geographic horizon conceivable as a multitude of cultural phenomena sharing a common material 'language', yet inferences on ethnic affiliation have been hitherto poorly grounded and difficult to ascertain. This work attempts to clarify some of the cultural phenomena occurred in the area, through a contextualised analysis of the available archaeological material. A methodological framework placing proto-historical material culture into 'context' is first enunciated and then employed in the investigation of various aspects of material expression belonging to different 'cultural horizons', from Siba-Huoshaogou, Yanbulake, Zhukaigou, Shajing and Chawuhu, to Alagou, Yanglang and Ordos. The data thus exposed provide clues on funerary behaviour, on patterns of consumption and social constructs, on stylistic and typological variation in ceramic productions, on metals and their social role, on craft specialisations and artistic expressions. Not only bronze and pottery objects are analysed from the stylistic and - when possible - the technological point of view, but also their relationship with 'alternative' types of material evidence (such as various perishable media) and with the contingent space are considered. Attention is further devoted to artefactual productions, ranging from bronze and iron casting to gold and silver metal-smithing. In the absence of contemporary written sources, the bulk of information comes primarily from archaeological reports. Yet manifold are the lines of evidence gathered. All these elements eventually contribute not only to discriminate similar modes of social negotiation such as gender and authority, indirectly reflecting expressions of ethnical affiliation, but also to assess both the degree of conscious cultural interaction and the extent of demic diffusion between Central Asia, Southern Siberia and China during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE.

title: Privatisation performance in major European countries since 1980.
Creators: name: Tatahi, Motasam
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: The weight of academic research and popular opinion is now decidedly in favour of the proposition that privately-owned firms are more efficient and more profitable than state-owned firms, and the multilateral aid agencies that "count" in the developing world (particularly the World Bank) firmly advise countries to reduce the size of their state sectors. The limited empirical evidence that exists suggests that non-privatising reform measures, such as price deregulation and market liberalization, can improve the efficiency of SOEs, but it is far from established that these reforms would be even more effective if coupled with privatisation. This research investigates performance of both private and state-owned enterprises through looking at results since the outbreak of the intensive privatisation programmes in Europe at the beginning of the 1980s. Many theories like the property rights theory, the principal agent theory, the Austrian school of economics and the public choice school stress the superiority of privately-owned over state-owned companies without addressing how corporate performance should be measured in light of their analysis. In other words, those theories point to the effectiveness of private firms compared to state-owned while the measurement of performance remains underdeveloped. Quite apart from how different theories of (the benefits of) (private) ownership are related to empirical outcomes, there are problems with standard measures of corporate performance, such as total factor productivity, for example, in light of the Cambridge Critique. Because of these problems, another method, factor analysis, has been used for measuring corporate performance on a sample of private and public firms. Our overall empirical study results indicate that corporate performance is characterised by two characters: size and profitability. In most of the statistical exercises (total of 42 cases) size and profitability were the main characteristics although in some cases ownership was added to those characters but as a separate factor without any relation with the variables representing size and profitability. Our finding undermines the arguments stressed by the theories in favour of private ownership that this is a major distinguishing aspect of corporate performance.

description: Context-free languages are highly important in computer language processing technology as well as in formal language theory. The Pumping Lemma is a property that is valid for all context-free languages, and is used to show the existence of non context-free languages. This paper presents a formalization, using the Coq proof assistant, of the Pumping Lemma for context-free languages.

Understanding and maintaining tactics graphically OR how we learned that a diagram can be worth more than 10K LoC

Subjects: proof maintenance; theorem proving; graphical tactic language

description: The use of a functional language to implement proof strategies as proof tactics in interactive theorem provers, often provides short, concise and elegant implementations. Whilst being elegant, the use of higher order features and combinator languages often results in a very procedural view of a strategy, which may deviate significantly from the high-level ideas behind it. This can make a tactic hard to understand and hence difficult to to debug and maintain for experts and non-experts alike: one often has to tear apart complex combinations of lower level tactics manually in order to analyse a failure in the overall strategy.
In an industrial technology transfer project, we have been working on porting a very large and complex proof tactic into PSGraph, a graphical language for representing proof strategies. The goal of this work is to improve understandability and maintainability of tactics. Motivated by some initial successes with this, we here extend PSGraph with additional features for development and debugging. Through the re-implementation and refactoring of several existing tactics, we demonstrates the advantages of PSGraph compared with a typical sentential tactic language with respect to debugging, readability and maintenance. In order to act as guidance for others, we give a fairly detailed comparison of the user experience with the two approaches. The paper is supported by a web page providing further details about the implementation as well as interactive illustrations of the examples.

title: The bird theme on bronzes of the Western Chou period.
Creators: name: Matteson, Mary Ann
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: The subject of this study is an examination of bird motifs on bronze vessels of the Western Chou period. The study proceeded in and is presented in four general stages. The first is a categorization of bird motifs into a number of "types" and a description of major variants within each types based on an investigation of numerous vessels through reproductions in both Western and East Asian sources and at first hand when this was possible. The second stage is a discussion of the schemes of design which incorporate the use of bird motifs. Representative vessels are discussed emphasizing the types of birds used, the zones of the vessel they occupy, the kinds of motifs they combine with, the stylistic tendencies apparent in in the shapes and surface treatment of the vessels they decorate, the dating of the vessels based on style and on inscription when possible, and provenance based on excavated material. In the third stage the duration of each scheme of design and each bird type is derived. The final stage is an attempt to place the tendency towards the use of bird decor in some historical perspective, and the discussion addresses itself to such problems as the question of a pre-dynastic Chou tradition in bronze art, the reasons for the preference for bird decor in the Western Chou, and the reasons for the eventual dissolution of motifs into abstract patterns in the last century of the Western Chou.

description: The present paper is devoted to study the effect of connected and disconnected rotations of Gödel algebras with operators grounded on directly indecomposable structures. The structures resulting from this construction we will present are nilpotent minimum (with or without negation fixpoint, depending on whether the rotation is connected or disconnected) with special modal operators defined on a directly indecomposable algebra. In this paper we will present a (quasi-)equational definition of these latter structures. Our main results show that directly indecomposable nilpotent minimum algebras (with or without negation fixpoint) with modal operators are fully characterized as connected and disconnected rotations of directly indecomposable Gödel algebras endowed with modal operators.
title: The verbal phrase in Mandinka.
Creators: name: Parkin, Ronald Ernest
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: The aim of this thesis is to offer a description of the verbal phrase in Mandinka in terms of its two main constituents, the verb and the verbal operator, and to give an account of the functions of the members of the class of operators. After a short introduction to the Mandinka people and their language (Chapter One) and an outline of the phonology (Chapter Two), the verbal phrase is considered in respect of its internal structure and its position in the clause, and the group of basic clause types set up (Chapter Three). In Chapter Four the constituents of the verbal phrase are described, a syntactically-based classification of the verbs into three sets is established, and a categorisation given of the operators, which serve as simultaneous exponents of terms from a number of grammatical categories. This chapter also contains an outline of the general structure of the nominal phrase. The following three chapters deal with the various exponential values of the operators and the combination of the verbs be and te with certain adjuncts: Chapter Five covers aspectual features. Chapter Six tense distinctions and Chapter Seven modal characteristics. Chapter Eight describes the role of certain items in conjunction reduction, as substitute forms for operators and some verbs within a sequence of clauses. There are two appendices: the first gives a list of the verbs found in the narratives provided by the main informant and the second includes statistical information which summarises the distribution and the properties of combination of a number of verbs. The thesis concludes with a bibliography.

title: Gender and ethnicity in conflict-related sexual violence insights from intrastate conflict in the Horn of Africa
Creators: name: Rest, Annkathrin Elisabeth
Year: 2024

description: Um ein tieferes Verständnis dafür zu erlangen, wieso und auf welche Art und Weise sexuelle Gewalt in bewaffneten Konflikten verübt wird, sowie um Variation in der Form, Frequenz, Zielausrichtung, und Absicht zu erklären, führt diese Arbeit eine vergleichende Analyse von drei innerstaatlichen Konflikten am Horn von Afrika durch. Basierend auf feministischer Theorie, Maskulinitätstheorie und Intersektionalität entwickelt die Arbeit einen dreistufigen theoretischen Rahmen. Dieser wird anschließend vergleichend auf die Konflikte im Sudan (2003-2005), im Südsudan (2013-2017) und in Äthiopien (2020-2022) angewandt. Basierend auf den etablierten Ursachen sexueller Gewalt, stellt diese These fest, dass die Unterschiede bei der Ausübung sexueller Gewalt durch die Nuancen des Konflikts, sowie durch das Ausmaß, in dem ethnische Missstände der Eskalation der Gewalt vorausgehen, bestimmt werden. Dennoch überwiegen die Gemeinsamkeiten die Unterschiede, wodurch die tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen der Geschlechterungleichheit, der Militarisierung von Männlichkeit und gemeinsamer Kontextfaktoren wie Vertreibung und Ernährungsunsicherheit verdeutlicht werden. Somit werden schlussendlich Menschen gefährdet, die aufgrund mehrerer Aspekte ihrer Identität marginalisiert und benachteiligt werden. Damit leistet die These einen wertvollen Beitrag in einer neu entstehenden Literatur, die beginnt, Nuancen zu erforschen und vergleichend zu untersuchen, warum sexuelle Gewalt sowohl innerhalb von Konflikten als auch zwischen Konflikten so stark variiert.
description: Interested in more profoundly understanding the perpetration of sexual violence during armed conflict, to explain variation in the form, frequency, targeting and intent with which it is committed, this thesis conducts a comparative analysis of three intrastate conflicts in the Horn of Africa. Drawing from feminist theory, masculinity studies and intersectionality the thesis develops a three-layer theoretical framework which it proceeds to apply in a comparative manner to the cases Sudan (2003- 2005), South Sudan (2013-2017), and Ethiopia (2020-2022). Building on the well-established causes of war-time sexual violence, the thesis innovatively asserts that variation in the perpetration of sexual violence across conflicts is determined by the nuances of the conflict, as well as the extent to which ethnic grievances predate the escalation of violence. Nonetheless, it finds that commonalities outweigh differences, illustrating the profound impact of gender inequality, the militarization of masculinity and shared contextual factors such as displacement and food insecurity which exacerbate the vulnerability of people marginalised for multiple layers of their identity. In that it makes a valuable contribution to an emerging body of literature that is starting to explore nuance, and comparatively examine why sexual violence can vary so profoundly both within and across conflicts.

description: There are twelve gall-midges known as gall-markers on Euphorbia spp. But, by reading the literature with a criticai eye, five of them producing a bud-shaped or rosette gall (Bayeria capitigena Br., Dasineura schulzei Ruebs., D. subpatula Br., D. sp.

description: MANDIBULAR MORPHOLOGY IN THE LARVAE OF Hydaticus exclamationis AUBÉ AND Cybister SPP. FROM CENTRAI. AFRICA (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae )

Larval mandibular morphology of Hydaticus exclamationis and of two unidentified species of the genus Cybister from Congo and Zaire is described along with evolutionary implications.

The mandibles of Hydaticus exclamationis can be located at a very high evolutionary step, as seen in their elongation, the reduction of the anterior orifice of the mandibular groove, and the very improved coadaptation of the groove lips. These characters are in agreement with the basic trends within the Dytiscini. Moreover, the mandibles of this species exhibit a marked bending, which, in author's view, arose to compensate for the elongation, in order to permit the mandibular tip to reach the apposite glandular area of the epipharynx.

The mandibles of the examined species of Cybister recall the slender shape of those of the Dytiscini, and thus they belong to a transitional pattern, which is suggestive of secondary loss of the slender shape within the Cybisterini.

Viene studiata la morfologia mandibolare nelle larve di Hydaticus exclamationis e di due specie indeterminate del genere Cybister dell'Africa centrale.

Le mandibole di H. exclamationis manifestano un elevato grado di evoluzione morfologica, le cui caratteristiche sono in accordo con le tendenze generali già individuate nella subf. Dytiscinae. In più, essere presentano una forma fortemente curva, che l'autore pre- sume essere in relazione (a compensazione della forma molto allungata) con l'esigenza funzionale del contatto meccanico fra la punta di ciascuna mandibola e l'opposta area ghiandolare del palato.

Le mandibole di Cybister sp. vengono stimate come appartenenti a un modello di transizione fra quello generale nella tribù Dytiscini e quello già noto per altre forme larvali del genere Cybister. Di conseguenza, si ammette che nella filogenesi dei Cybisterini si sia affermata una perdita secondaria della forma allungata.

title: The verbal syntax of Ewe.
Creators: name: Clements, George Nickerson
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: The subject of this study is the syntax of the verb in the Anle dialect of Ewe. The categories of tense, aspect, meed and negation as well as the phenolegically clitic pronouns are investigated, and it is claimed that these forms are described with maximal generality in terms of relatively simple base representations and a small number of grammatical transformations. The peculiar syntactic properties of verb phrases marked for aspect are viewed as a consequence of a more general rule applying to a class of syntactically complex nouns. Verbs are then broadly subcategorized in terms of the (base) syntactic environments they accept: these environments, stated as subcategorization features, are shown to play a pivotal role in the differentiation of the many semantic functions which may be associated with single verb stems. It is finally suggested that an adequate independent definition of the notion 'morphological rule' may permit certain more general statements about the form of Ewe grammar and the functioning of its rules. This study is based primarily upon data collected by the writer during the course of field research in Legon and Anyake, Ghana.

Bombus spp. replace profìtably the honeybee for the early cultivations or in presence of Iow temperatures or in superior altitudinal zones (>1,000 m s.I.); Osmia spp. show themselves to be very effective on the fruit trees; Ombelliferae take advantage of Syrphidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Prosopis punctata Brullè, Andrena spp., Halictus spp., Lasioglossum spp. visits. Medicago sativa L. could mainly take advantage of Megachile spp. service. The pollinator entomofauna should profit by undisturbed areas or in specific cases should be breeded in view of the pollination of the cultivations in glasshouses or the one's in open field.

In un ambiente ricco di fioritura scalari ed accavallantisi è stata osservata la flora visitata da 32 insetti pronubi. Apis mellifera ligustica Spin. risolve la maggior parte dei problemi inerenti l'impollinazione delle colture agrarie. Bombus spp. sostituiscono vantaggiosamente l'ape al cospetto di colture precoci o in presenza di basse temperature o nelle fasce altitudinali superiori ( > 1000 m s.l.m.); Osmia spp. si rivelano molto efficaci sui Frut- tiferi; le Ombrellifere traggono profitto dalle visite di Syrphidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Prosopis punctata Brullè, Andrena spp., Halictus spp., Lasioglossum spp. Medicago sativa L. potrebbe usufruire soprattutto del servizio di Megachile spp. L'entomofauna pronuba dovrebbe beneficiare della presenza di appropriate aree di rispetto e in casi specifici essere allevata per l'impollinazione delle colture protette e in pieno campo.

title: The logic of customary law, with reference to selected African societies.
Creators: name: Melton, Lawrence Caldwell
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: This thesis is an attempt to explain the facility with which ratiocination in customary law courts leads to decisions of great import. Or, to put it as a question: how do African judges reach decisions as grave and far reaching as those of their Western counterparts without equivalent court paraphenalia? The answer to this is an examination of how African judges think, and makes especial reference to the semantic philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and its relation to traditional concepts of language and social structure.

description: Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, profiling the electrical activities of the heart, are used for a plethora of diagnostic applications. However, ECG systems require multiple leads or channels of signals to capture the complete view of the cardiac system, which limits their application in smartwatches and wearables. In this work, we propose a modally reduced representation learning method for ECG signals that is capable of generating channel-agnostic, unified representations for ECG signals. Through joint optimization of reconstruction and alignment, we ensure that the embeddings of the different channels contain an amalgamation of the overall information across channels while also retaining their specific information. On an independent test dataset, we generated highly correlated channel embeddings from different ECG channels, leading to a moderate approximation of the 12-lead signals from a single-channel embedding. Our generated embeddings can work as competent features for ECG signals for downstream tasks.

title: Social relations in a Japanese company.
Creators: name: Clark, Rodney
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: This thesis is an account of social relations in a medium sized, but rapidly growing Japanese corrugated paperboard manufacturer. The main determinants of these relations are, it is suggested, the isolation of the directors and employees of the company from people in other companies and from local communities; the state of the labour market, and its effect on the prospects of those within the company of finding equally good Jobs in other firms; and the nature of the organization of the company. The fact of the company's isolation is established by considering the relations of those within the company with other parts of Japanese society. It is suggested that a corollary of this isolation is the development of a strong sense of community within the company. The peculiarities of the Japanese labour market are explained and its consequences for recruitment and resignation from the company are considered. It is shown that for reasons which might be described as cultural the company recruits new workers in an extremely uneconomic manner. It is proposed that, partly as a result of this, there are two categories of workers within the company: those who can leave it without difficulty and those who can not. Differences of opinion and behaviour between the members of these two categories are described. The distinctive feature of company organization is shown to be an all-embracing system of grades and ranks, up which company members pass semi-automatically as they grow older - this in spite of the widespread acceptance of an ideal of meritocracy among employees. It is shown how relations between labour and management, among others, are affected by this form of organization. It is suggested that future changes in social relations in Japanese industry will be caused by increasingly severe labour shortage, and also perhaps, by changes in public attitudes to industry.

title: The grammar of Bisa : A synchronic description of the Lebir dialect.
Creators: name: Naden, Anthony Joshua
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis sets out a description of the Grammer of the Bisa language of West Africa, and particularly the Lebiri Dialect thereof. An introductory chapter (Chap.. 1 p.12) describe the people and their back-ground, and explains the research on which the thesis is based and the hierarchical mode in which the Grammar is presented. A section of this chapter (1.5, PP 61 ff ) gives a sketch of the phonology as an explanation of the transcriptions used in the citation of Bisa examples. Chapters 2 to 7 present the main matter of the analysis, viz. the Syntax of Lebiri Bisa in a Syntagmatic presentation. The successive Ranks of the hierarchy set up are described in terms of their structures and functions in these chapters: Chapter 2 treats of the Higher Ranks, Chapter 3 of the Sentence, Chapter 4 of the Clause, Chapter 5 covers the Phrase, and Chapter 6 the Word, while Morpheme Rank is dealt with in Chapter 7. The eighth and final Chapter describes non-Morphonemic features with syntactic significance find The Morphophonemic relations between Syntax and Phonology. The thesis concludes with Appendices presenting Texts in transcrption with accompanying, vocabulary, notes on Dialects and Ideophones and Exclamations, and finally with a Bibliography.

description: This assessment of summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) is an update through 2015 of commercial and recreational fishery catch data, research survey indices of abundance, and the analyses of those data. Reported 2015 landings in the commercial fishery were 4,843 mt = 10.677 million lbs, about 3% under the commercial quota (5,021 mt = 11.069 million lbs). Estimated 2015 landings in the recreational fishery were 2,209 mt = 4.870 million lbs, about 34% below the recreational harvest limit (3,347 mt = 7.379 million lbs). Total commercial and recreational landings in 2015 were 7,052 mt = 15.547 million lbs and total commercial and recreational discard losses were 1,233 mt = 2.718 million lbs, for a total catch in 2015 of 8,285 mt = 18.265 million lbs, about 20% below the 2015 Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) = 10,329 mt = 22.772 million lbs.
title: Mao and history : An interpretive essay on some problems in Mao Zedong's philosophy of history.
Creators: name: Knight, Nicholas James
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1982

description: This study analyses. four problem areas in Mao Zedong's philosophy of history. Firstly, it provides an analysis of the way in which Mao perceived causation operating in social and historical terms. Secondly, the problem of historical time and the future is examined; this involves an examination of the forms of historical periodization utilized by Mao, and his vision of the future of society. Thirdly, a brief analysis is provided of an important element of Mao's philosophy of science, the manner in which he approached the formulation of laws of society and history. Fourthly, an interpretation is offered of Mao's "Sinification of Marxism"; the way in which Mao could espouse a "universal" theory of history, and insist on its integration with Chinese national particularities without detracting from the universality of that theory. An attempt has also been made to determine the relationship between these different elements of Mao's philosophy of history. The study is based on and employs several methodological devices. The first of these is the utilization of an exegetical approach; consequently, the analysis offered limits itself to a close textual study and interpretation of the Mao documents. Secondly, the study has adopted a periodization which divides the development of Mao's thought into six periods, four of which are subjected to analysis: (1) The Yan'an period, 1936-45;, (2) the period of Civil War and Consolidation, 1946-54; (3) the post-Cooperativization period, 1955-64; and (4) the Cultural Revolution, 1965-69. The study concentrates on the Yan'an and post-Cooperativization periods. While these two methodological procedures guide and structure the study, the content of the study in turn serves as a test of their utility and validity.
