The nature of norms and the evolution of transitional justice
Creators: name: Winston, Carla
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: There are a wide variety of contemporary international norms: some are large and diffuse, while others are concise and clear. Some norm-adopting states follow precedent, while some adapt or innovate even as they profess to follow the same norm. This dissertation attempts to explain the variation in both norms and states’ normative decisions by investigating the conceptual structure of norms. I argue that while norms are currently understood to be a single grouping of three components – a problem, a justification, and a behavior – in reality, the international community often allows deviations from those combined components as acceptable interpretations of the original norm. This dissertation makes two contributions – a concept and a decision-making model – to bridge the gap between norm structure and the outcomes of norm diffusion. The first, the “norm cluster,” expands the single norm into a group of interlinked but distinct justifications and behaviors related to a common problem. Within a norm cluster, actors have more freedom to choose the combination of components which is most appropriate for them. The second innovation, a decision-making model, helps to understand and partially predict state decisions with respect to the contents of the norm cluster, previous norm adopters, and local conditions. Because a norm cluster’s contents are determined intersubjectively, the actions of new adopters and the reactions of the interested community combine to produce normative evolution. I demonstrate the applicability of these contributions by tracing the evolution of the field of transitional justice (TJ). I expand upon existing behavioral datasets and create an additional dataset consisting of official TJ justifications. By mapping justification and behavior over space and time, I show via multiple methods that the field of transitional justice has resulted in a wide variety of normatively acceptable outcomes which reflect choices made at all points on the decision-making model. I undertake further analysis of TJ’s evolution to show the processes of innovation, discourse, acceptance and resistance which I argue shape the content and boundaries of a norm cluster, and provide an explanation for the patterns of continuity and change which have defined and changed the field.

description: We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on a Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel and extreme values of point processes. We give conditions for various kinds of convergence and asymptotic normality. We propose a method of reducing the negative bias and edge effects, illustrated by a simulation.

description: We consider phase-coherent transport through ballistic and diffusive two-dimensional hole systems based on the Kohn-Luttinger Hamiltonian. We show that intrinsic heavy-hole light-hole coupling gives rise to clear-cut signatures of an associated Berry phase in the weak localization which renders the magneto-conductance profile distinctly different from electron transport. Non-universal classical correlations determine the strength of these Berry phase effects and the effective symmetry class, leading even to antilocalization-type features for circular quantum dots and Aharonov-Bohm rings in the absence of additional spin-orbit interaction. Our semiclassical predictions are quantitatively confirmed by numerical transport calculations.

description: In the past few years gamma-ray astronomy has entered a golden age. A modern suite of telescopes is now scanning the sky over both hemispheres and over six orders of magnitude in energy. At $\sim$TeV energies, only a handful of sources were known a decade ago, but the current generation of ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS) has increased this number to nearly one hundred. With a large field of view and duty cycle, the Tibet and Milagro air shower detectors have demonstrated the promise of the direct particle detection technique for TeV gamma rays. At $\sim$GeV energies, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has increased the number of known sources by nearly an order of magnitude in its first year of operation. New classes of sources that were previously theorized to be gamma-ray emitters have now been confirmed observationally. Moreover, there have been surprise discoveries of GeV gamma-ray emission from source classes for which no theory predicted it was possible. In addition to elucidating the processes of high-energy astrophysics, gamma-ray telescopes are making essential contributions to fundamental physics topics including quantum gravity, gravitational waves, and dark matter. I summarize the current census of astrophysical gamma-ray sources, highlight some recent discoveries relevant to fundamental physics, and describe the synergetic connections between gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy. This is a brief overview intended in particular for particle physicists and neutrino astronomers, based on a presentation at the Neutrino 2010 conference in Athens, Greece. I focus in particular on results from Fermi (which was launched soon after Neutrino 2008), and conclude with a description of the next generation of instruments, namely HAWC and the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

description: Sensitive transduction of the motion of a microscale cantilever is central to many applications in mass, force, magnetic resonance, and displacement sensing. Reducing cantilever size to nanoscale dimensions can improve the bandwidth and sensitivity of techniques like atomic force microscopy, but current optical transduction methods suffer when the cantilever is small compared to the achievable spot size. Here, we demonstrate sensitive optical transduction in a monolithic cavity-optomechanical system in which a sub-picogram silicon cantilever with a sharp probe tip is separated from a microdisk optical resonator by a nanoscale gap. High quality factor (Q ~ 10^5) microdisk optical modes transduce the cantilever's MHz frequency thermally-driven vibrations with a displacement sensitivity of ~ 4.4x10^-16 m\sqrt[2]{Hz} and bandwidth > 1 GHz, and a dynamic range > 10^6 is estimated for a 1 s measurement. Optically-induced stiffening due to the strong optomechanical interaction is observed, and engineering of probe dynamics through cantilever design and electrostatic actuation is illustrated.

L’argomento dell’ultimo Quaderno, Metropolis, è stato declinato come sempre nelle varie forme sollecitate dai molteplici percorsi intellettuali degli intervenuti: come spiega infatti Anna Masecchia nella Premessa al volume, la metropoli è stata intesa tanto quale «spazio associativo e di organizzazione di una civiltà e dell’identità di una intera cultura», quanto come «rapporto del soggetto con lo spazio concreto e simbolico» della città. Questo prendendo in considerazione non solo la letteratura scritta, ma anche la fotografia, il cinema e naturalmente il teatro, che offre una «rappresentazione della metropoli come spazio ‘scenico’» (pp. VI-VII).

description: The shear viscosity of a gluon gas is calculated using the Green-Kubo relation. Time correlations of the energy-momentum tensor in thermal equilibrium are extracted from microscopic simulations using a parton cascade solving various Boltzmann collision processes. We find that the pQCD based gluon bremsstrahlung described by Gunion-Bertsch processes significantly lowers the shear viscosity by a factor of 3-8 compared to elastic scatterings. The shear viscosity scales with the coupling as 1/(alpha_s^2\log(1/alpha_s)). For a constant coupling constant the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio has no dependence on temperature. Replacing the pQCD-based collision angle distribution of binary scatterings by an isotropic form decreases the shear viscosity by a factor of 3.

The molecular characterization of the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma
Creators: name: Towle, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common subtype of head and neck cancer and has a relatively low five year survival rate of ~50%. One of the reasons for this high mortality rate is that patients are generally diagnosed at late stages. OSCC develops through a typical histological progression and although lesions in the oral cavity are visible at the premalignant stage, it is not possible to predict which lesions will progress based on histology alone. In-depth analysis of genome-wide molecular alterations may identify novel genes or pathways that can be used as biomarkers or therapeutic targets in order to improve survival rates of this disease. In this thesis, I perform DNA methylation, gene expression and miRNA profiling on a panel of patient tissue samples, each with a paired adjacent normal, dysplasia and either a carcinoma in situ or squamous cell carcinoma, taken from a single contiguous disease field within a patient’s oral cavity. My hypotheses are that the epigenetic landscape of OSCC becomes progressively more deregulated throughout the different histological stages and that the most frequently altered molecular events identified at the dysplasia stage may be crucial for premalignant disease development and progression. A high level of deregulation in both methylation and miRNA patterns as the disease progresses is observed, and a number of highly frequent molecular events are identified. Several of these molecular events are then functionally validated to assess the ability to contribute to tumorigenesis in oral premalignant lesions. Taken together, this thesis provides one of the most comprehensive epigenetic analyses of paired normal, dysplasia and CIS/SCC biopsies with regards to DNA methylation and miRNA profiling. In addition to providing a deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms at play within the premalignant lesions, we also validate the ability of these mechanisms to directly contribute to tumorigenesis.

description: It is critical to have high-quality technical support and knowledge in synchronous social work classes (Marquart, Fleming, Rosenthal, & Hibbert, 2016; Marquart & Fleming, 2014). As many seasoned or novice online social work instructors have discovered, technology is not always predictable and technological disruptions or challenges are inevitable (Pardasani, Goldkind, Heyman, & Cross-Denny, 2012). To support the technological preparedness of both students and instructors, a closer look at technology support is needed for online social work courses (Levin, Fulginiti, & Moore, 2018). This poster overviews our School’s practice of having a dedicated technical support specialist for each course, called a Live Support Specialist (LSS).
Assessment of the POST-ODF strategy on the sustainability of rural sanitation in Mali

Subjects: subject: 90410 Water Treatment Processes

description: Mali developed a Post Open Defecation Free (Post-ODF) strategy to anticipate sustainability problems and strengthen the results achieved by the CLTS approach. This research used a case study approach, in four ODF villages in two regions, to investigate the sustainability of rural sanitation outcomes in Mali. Overall, 95% and 64% of households interviewed had respectively latrines and handwashing facility in the villages that benefited from the Post-ODF approach. KIIs showed that the needs of vulnerable people are not sufficiently considered. The Post-ODF mechanisms were not fully functional, mainly due to the lack of ownership by mayors. However, 54% of the households maintained the ODF sustainability criteria, which is a good performance. To move towards sustainable sanitation outcomes, this research recommended to focus on improving the public funding of rural sanitation and strengthening the capacity of mayors on sanitation including by transferring resources to them for the implementation of Post-ODF activities.

description: Gastrointestinal (GI) problems are common in Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). Chewing and swallowing difficulties, dental problems, reflux disease, cyclic vomiting, constipation, incontinence, diarrhoea, and nutritional deficiencies have been most frequently reported. Therefore, this review summarises current findings on GI problems and addresses the fundamental questions, which were based on parental surveys, of how frequent GI problems occur in PMS, what GI problems occur, what consequences (e.g., nutritional deficiencies) GI problems cause for individuals with PMS, and how GI problems can be treated in individuals with PMS. Our findings show that gastrointestinal problems have a detrimental effect on the health of people with PMS and are a significant burden for their families. Therefore, we advise evaluation for these problems and formulate care recommendations.

description: The structure in density and temperature of protoplanetary disks surrounding low-mass stars is not yet well known. The protoplanetary disks mid-planes are expected to be very cold and thus depleted in molecules in gas phase, especially CO. Recent observations of molecules at very low apparent temperature (~ 6 K) challenge this current picture of the protoplanetary disk structures. We aim at constraining the physical conditions, and in particular the gas-phase CO abundance in the mid-plane of protoplanetary disks. The light molecule H2D+,is a tracer of cold and CO-depleted environment. It is therefore a good candidate to explore the disks mid-planes. We performed a deep search for H2D+ in the two well-known disks surrounding TW Hya and DM Tau using the APEX and JCMT telescopes. The analysis of the observations are done with DISKFIT, a radiative transfer code dedicated to disks. In addition, we used a chemical model describing deuterium chemistry to infer the implications of our observations on the level of CO depletion and on the ionization rate in the disks mid-plane. The ortho-H2D+(1(1,0))-1(1,1)) line at 372 GHz was not detected. Although our limit is three times better than previous observations, comparison with the chemical modeling indicates that it remains insufficient to put valuable constraints on the CO abundance in the disk mid-plane. Even with ALMA, the detection of H2D+ may not be straightforward, and H2D+ may not be a sufficiently sensitive tracer of the protoplanetary disks mid-plane

description: With the global population increasingly living in cities, it is anticipated that humanitarian emergencies will occur more frequently in urban settings. Urban emergencies present particular challenges to excreta disposal, and these are further complicated where there is a high water table. This study investigated recent urban emergencies, looking at what factors contributed to safe excreta disposal, and what obstacles there were. With a focus on learning from practical experience, the research used grounded theory, to identify good practice for excreta disposal in highwater table urban emergencies. A number of ‘core concepts’ were identified, which if adequately considered and incorporated into a response, will contribute to a successful outcome. These include addressing the constraints and opportunities which result from operating in an urban context, effective community engagement and designing sustainable programmes. The research concludes with the presentation of a framework for good practice for dealing with excreta disposal in high water table urban emergencies.

description: This document, Deliverable 3.1, presents the final analysis of the survey results. The
 survey results were analysed to perform a FAIRness evaluation of the data
 infrastructures that have been selected for the scope of the use cases and also to
 answer the question of feasibility of linking individual level data. This deliverable
 builds on Milestone 3.2, which presented the initial analysis of the results relating
 to the cancer use case, focusing only on the results received from the Finnish data
 infrastructures. D3.1 extends the analysis to include all the survey results.
 In relation to the cancer use case, the list of relevant data collections to survey was
 identified in collaboration with the cancer use case leaders and HealthyCloud
 partners from Belgium, Finland, Germany and Spain. The research question on
 cancer requires individual level data linkage from the health interview survey,
 health examination survey, cancer registry, genomic data collections and statistical
 registries for socioeconomic data. The research question on atrial fibrillation
 requires different types of data from patient registries in Europe, such as ECG, MRI,
 biomarkers, genomic and clinical data. The list of relevant data collections was
 identified in collaboration with the atrial fibrillation use case.
 We received 20 responses to the survey out of a total of 26 surveys sent.
 In this document we present the administrative information about each data
 infrastructure, information about the data they provide, such as the level of
 aggregation, whether it is anonymised or pseudonymised, about data quality
 aspects, coverage and standards used to structure the data and regarding the
 compliance with the FAIR principles.

description: Prosthetic arms and hands that can be controlled by the user's electromyography (EMG) signals are emerging. Eventually, these advanced prosthetic devices will be expected to touch and be touched by other people. As realistic as they may look, the currently available prosthetic hands have physical properties that are still far from the characteristics of human skins because they are much stiffer. In this paper, different configurations of synthetic finger phalanges have been investigated for their skin compliance behaviour and have been compared with the phalanges of the human fingers and a phalanx from a commercially available prosthetic hand. Handshake tests were performed to identify which areas on the human hand experience high contact forces. After these areas were determined, experiments were done on selected areas using an indenting probe to obtain the force-displacement curves. Finite element simulations were used to compare the force-displacement results of the synthetic finger phalanx designs with that of the experimental results from the human and prosthetic finger phalanges. The simulation models were used to investigate the effects of (i) varying the internal topology of the finger phalanx and (ii) varying different materials for the internal and external layers.

description: The Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park (MBREMP) in southeastern Tanzania has been touted as a ‘win-win’ project in public discourses, given its potential mutual benefits for marine biodiversity and local resource users. In this thesis, however, I argue that residents of Msimbati, a large fishing village within its catchment area, oppose the marine park, citing its negative impacts on their everyday lives. Drawing on four months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Msimbati village, which included participant observation, forty in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions, this thesis examines the village residents’ specific reasons for contesting the MBREMP, and subsequently, the different forms of resistance they employ to mobilize their opposition to the marine park. Using the concept of environmental governance, I maintain that people in Msimbati have been excluded from significant processes of conservation-related decision-making. Consequently, the management priorities of the MBREMP underrepresent their perceived needs and well-being. Furthermore, many study participants perceived the introduction of conservation regulations within the MBREMP as overt assertions of state power intended to control and subjugate the people of Msimbati. I argue that this finding closely resembles Michel Foucault’s notion of governmentality. In response to this perceived top-down flow of power, I discuss the abilities of village residents to exercise their individual and collective agency through explicit acts of resistance against the MBREMP. I argue, however, that the fear of state violence deters most village residents from engaging in acts that convey visible opposition to the MBREMP. Many people in Msimbati instead choose to engage in subtle acts of noncompliance to the conservation regulations. These acts are entangled with material benefits and moral statements about customary rights to resources. They can also facilitate political mobility by undermining the success of the conservation effort, while simultaneously avoiding open confrontation with governing authorities. Ultimately, this thesis brings to the fore the on-the-ground complexities of marine conservation in a resource-dependent coastal fishing village in southeastern Tanzania. I demonstrate the importance of taking an ethnographic approach to understanding the nuanced and context-specific reasons for local opposition to marine protected area formation in coastal communities.

description: We present multi-wavelength linear polarimetric observations for 44 stars of the NGC 1893 young open cluster region along with V-band polarimetric observations of stars of other four open clusters located between l ~160 to ~175 degree. We found evidence for the presence of two dust layers located at a distance of ~170 pc and ~360 pc. The dust layers produce a polarization Pv ~2.2%. It is evident from the clusters studied in the present work that, in the Galactic longitude range l ~160 to 175 degree and within the Galactic plane (|b| < 2 degree), the polarization angles remain almost constant, with a mean ~163 degree and a dispersion of 6 degree. The small dispersion in polarization angle could be due to the presence of uniform dust layer beyond 1 kpc. Present observations reveal that in case of NGC 1893, the foreground two dust layers, in addition to the intracluster medium, seems to be responsible for the polarization effects. It is also found that towards the direction of NGC 1893, the dust layer that exists between 2-3 kpc has a negligible contribution towards the total observed polarization. The weighted mean for percentage of polarization (Pmax) and the wavelength at maximum polarization (λmax) are found to be 2.59 \pm 0.02% and 0.55 \pm 0.01 \mum respectively. The estimated mean value of λmax indicates that the average size of the dust grains within the cluster is similar to that in the general interstellar medium. The spatial variation of the polarization is found to decrease towards the outer region of the cluster. In the present work, we support the notion, as already has been shown in previous studies, that polarimetry, in combination with (U-B)/(B-V) colour-colour diagram, is a useful tool for identifying non-members in a cluster.

Rapid Porting
Multilingual Speech Recognition

description: Automatic speech recognition systems have so far been developed only for very few languages out of the 4,000-7,000 existing ones.
In this thesis we examine methods to rapidly create acoustic models in new, possibly under-resourced languages, in a time and cost effective manner. For this we examine the use of multilingual models, the application of articulatory features across languages, and the automatic discovery of word-like units in unwritten languages.
Multo in parvo : Joris Hoefnagel's illuminations and the gathered practices of Central European court culture
Creators: name: Boychuk, Joan

description: This dissertation examines the works of illumination produced by the itinerant Flemish miniator, Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1600), during his tenure as court artist to the Wittelsbachs and Habsburgs in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. Comprising illuminated manuscripts as well as independent miniatures, the works at the center of this study provide novel insight into Hoefnagel’s practice as an illuminator and also into the status and function of illumination at the Central European courts of Munich, Ambras, and Prague. Not simply extending a traditional interest in the medium at these sites, Hoefnagel’s works on parchment transformed illumination into a new form bringing together a range of practices and discourses associated with the courts, with humanism, and with emerging disciplines dedicated to the production of new knowledge. Artistically inventive and conceptually productive, Hoefnagel’s compositions helped shaped an identity for the artist as a hieroglyphicus—an initiate into and maker of a privileged language of representation. Unlike other medieval and early modern art, the illuminated page could bring together, on one surface, different media (text and image), genres (heraldry, portraiture, nature studies, biblical narrative, and ornament, among others), and modes of representation (realism, illusionism, symbolism, and abstraction). This study shows that the persistence of illumination into the late 1500s—particularly in the form of Hoefnagel’s projects—stemmed from this aggregative character. The medium enabled the artist to present his viewers with diverse and innovative compositions of pictorial and textual content. Set against the contemporary interest in assemblage which shaped the early modern Kunstkammer and led to the production of atlases, natural history albums, and other compendia, Hoefnagel’s artworks come into focus as dialogic responses to these surrounding processes of aggregation.

description: The significance of participatory research for achieving a participatory spatial planning may be strengthened by the involvement of gender in the analysis of space. The structuring of space in the Javanese and Acehnese fishing villages shows how gender role greatly influences the use of space. This represents the fragmentation of village both socially and spatially. A comprehensive understanding of such a structure is important for relevant development agencies to make a just spatial planning.
