description: This thesis uses data from two German reality TV shows, Bares für Rares (“Cash for Rarities”) and Zwischen Tüll und Tränen (“Between Tulle and Tears”), to examine the pragmatic function(s) of the German modal particle mal. To facilitate an analysis of mal focused on facework, I have proposed a model for the participation framework of these televised interactions. Existing work on mal has focused almost exclusively on its role in requests. The most common explanation for mal’s function is that it indicates that the requested action is small and easy to accomplish (e.g., de Vriendt et al. 1991, Hentschel 1991, Kotorova 2015, Weydt 1969). Some authors have also posited that mal serves to build relationships, indicate sensitivity to the addressee’s point of view, and/or signal friendliness or informality (e.g., Braber 2006; Franck 1980; Weydt 1969, 2006). As expected, there were numerous cases in these data where mal was used in requests. However, speakers also used mal in a wide range of additional contexts not accounted for the existing literature. These data allow for the general characterization of mal as a downtoner that is often used to convey tentativeness and/or to mitigate a perceived face threat. The consistent use of mal in imperatives, especially alongside particular verbs, is also highly suggestive of conventionalization. Finally, numerous examples in these data appear consistent with the theory that mal serves to convey friendliness, casualness, empathy, or connectedness. Although modal particles are an important part of pragmatic competence in German, speakers often find it difficult to explicitly articulate their meanings, and treatment in textbooks is often inadequate (Bardovi-Harlig & Dörnyei 1998, Belz & Vyatkina 2005, Duch-Adamczyk 2012, Heggelund 2001, Hogeweg et al. 2016, Möllering 2001). These findings thus have significant potential to contribute to language teaching and textbook development.
Application of High-order Numerical Methods to Restricted Three-Body Problem
Creators: name: Fu, Xiaoyu

description: Deep-space explorations have become dominant in current space programs, which presents an even higher demand on the deep-space trajectory design and orbit maintenance. To increase the availability of various interplanetary orbits and achieve higher accuracy in the orbit related research, the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) was investigated as the fundamental dynamics. However, due to its high non-linearity, most conclusions and methods related with the CRTBP are derived from linearised dynamics, which inevitably incurs limitations and inaccuracy in the correspond- ing applications.

description:

description: In this work, by means of Differential Algebra (DA) techniques, high-order methods and strategies are explored and applied to the nonlinear problems related with the CRTBP. Specifically, two representative problems are targeted, including the computation of periodic/quasi-periodic orbits and the stationkeeping of these orbits. The classic Target Point Approach (TPA) is improved using the existing DA techniques and two nonlinear TPA methods are proposed for a more accurate calculation of stationkeeping manoeuvres. To incorporate the uncertainty from different sources, a stochastic optimisation scheme is devised to search for the error-robust and fuel-optimal stationkeeping parameters for a periodic orbit. After noticing the underperformance of TPA methods in the stationkeeping scenarios dominated by fast dynamics, a high-order Target Phase Approach (TPhA) is proposed using the Poincare mapping enabled by DA-based polynomial maps, with its performance being validated in multi-fidelity dynamics. The DA-enabled Poincare mapping technique is further adopted in the continuation of quasi-periodic orbits in the CRTBP and enhances the computing efficiency of the orbit family. Feasibility of the proposed TPhA method is explored for the stationkeeping of the acquired quasi-periodic orbits.

description: Purpose of review: To summarize a jointly held symposium by the Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN), the Canadian Association of Nephrology Administrators (CANA), and the Canadian Kidney Knowledge Translation and Generation Network (CANN-NET) entitled “Perspectives on Optimizing Care of Patients in Multidisciplinary Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Clinics” that was held on April 24, 2015, in Montreal, Quebec. Sources of information: The panel consisted of a variety of members from across Canada including a multidisciplinary CKD clinic patient (Randall Russell), nephrology fellow (Dr. David Collister), geriatrician (Dr. Josee Verdon), and nephrologists (Dr. Monica Beaulieu, Dr. Adeera Levin). Findings: The objectives of the symposium were (1) to gain an understanding of the goals of care for CKD patients, (2) to gain an appreciation of different perspectives regarding optimal care for patients with CKD, (3) to examine the components required for optimal care including education strategies, structures, and tools, and (4) to describe a framework and metrics for CKD care which respect patient and system needs. This article summarizes the key concepts discussed at the symposium from a patient and physician perspectives. Key messages include (1) understanding patient values and preferences is important as it provides a framework as to what to prioritize in multidisciplinary CKD clinic and provincial renal program models, (2) barriers to effective communication and education are common in the elderly, and adaptive strategies to limit their influence are critical to improve adherence and facilitate shared decision-making, (3) the use of standardized operating procedures (SOPs) improves efficiency and minimizes practice variability among health care practitioners, and (4) CKD scorecards with standardized system processes are useful in approaching variability as well as measuring and improving patient outcomes. Limitations: The perspectives provided may not be applicable across centers given the differences in patient populations including age, ethnicity, culture, language, socioeconomic status, education, and multidisciplinary CKD clinic structure and function. Implications: Knowledge transmission by collaborative interprovincial and interprofessional networks may play a role in facilitating optimal CKD care. Validation of system and clinic models that improve outcomes is needed prior to disseminating these best practices.
The feasibility and acceptability of an online mindfulness intervention for stroke survivors.
Creators: name: Singh, Victoria
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: Background: Psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression are common post-stroke. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) have demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating such difficulties in other clinical health populations and show promise in stroke-related psychological difficulties. Objective and Outcomes: The study aimed to assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining stroke survivors into a randomised waitlist control trial with an 8-week waitlist period and 3-month follow-up. We also aimed to assess the acceptability of an online mindfulness-based intervention for this population and the use of outcome measures relating to anxiety, depression, perceived stress, health status, quality of life and perseverative thinking. Methods: Stroke survivors were recruited at 6-month post-stroke in an NHS clinical setting. No criteria were set regarding minimum pre-existing psychological difficulties. Intervention: 10-session online mindfulness course, comprising elements of both MBSR and MBCT. Results: Fifty-four people were screened. Eighteen were deemed ineligible. Of the thirty-six assessed for eligibility, ten declined to participate. Twenty-four others considered participation but ultimately decided not to participate for reasons such as low confidence with computers. Two participants were successfully recruited and randomised (one to waitlist control). The intervention could be delivered as planned. The 8-week waitlist period was tolerated. No adverse effects were reported. Follow-up at 1 and 3-months was feasible. Reliable and clinically significant improvements were demonstrated in depression for one participant, certain mindfulness domains and quality of life scores. Where reliable deterioration was indicated to perseverative thinking and anxiety measures, low baseline scores prevent us from drawing any substantial inferences. Thematic analysis of interview data conducted with both participants and the recruiter indicated overall acceptability of the intervention and outcome measures used whilst highlighting difficulties in recruitment such as fears about safety online and the priority of physical rehabilitation. Conclusion: Despite the promise of MBIs for stroke-survivors, our poor recruitment rate indicates a larger trial of the proposed design is not currently feasible as planned.

Social networks in public and community housing: the impact on employment outcomes
Creators: name: Ziersch, Anna

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article seeks to examine some of the ways in which social networks may contribute to employment outcomes for community and public housing tenants. There is a body of literature that explores the relationship between social networks and employment outcomes, and a separate literature on the relationship between housing and social networks (which is largely concerned with homeowners). However, there has been little research that links all three aspects, especially in relation to social housing. This provides a starting point for this research, which involved interviews with housing organisation staff and focus groups with tenants in two case study areas in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia. This article reports on the findings through examining the way in which housing tenure may affect social network formation, and considering the ways that these networks can impact on job attainment. It is concluded that, overall, those in community housing appeared to fare better, in terms of employment-conducive networks, than those in public housing. This finding is related not just to the management of the housing, but also to the broader issues of stigma, area-level deprivation and intergenerational unemployment.

DESCRIPTION
Solitary coral, ceratoid to subcylindrical, straight or slightly curved. Septa free, compact, usually straight although a few curved septa can be locally observed in some samples. The lumen of the calice is divided in equal lobes by the six main septa, conferring at the lumen a typical flowerlike shape in transverse section characterized by a radial six-folded symmetry. Lateral faces of septa are smooth or finely granulated. The six first-order septa (S1) present smooth distal and inner edges whereas the septa of higher orders show wide spines regularly arranged and oriented downward along their inner edge and each of these septa is bevelled in the higher part of the calice, making their distal and inner edge in continuity, and disappearing in the very distal views. Four geometrical orders can be distinguished (S2, S3, S4 and S5) among the septa growing into the lobes formed by the S1 with the particularity for the ones closest to the S1 to grow directly on the lateral faces of these S1. Endotheca is present in the form of rare and irregularly distributed dissepiments. Synapticulae absent. The wall seems to be parathecal.
Calicular diameter: 8.2 to 19.1 mm – Number of septa: 82 to 97 (129 by extrapolation) – Septal density: 10 to 12 for 5 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
In comparison to Cretaceous genera Tiarasmilia Wells, 1932 and Hexasmilia Fromentel, 1870, apophysal septa are not developed toward internal edge of septa.

Resilient civic republicanism.
Creators: name: Mace, William
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Advanced liberal democracies today can be conceptualised ontologically as complex dynamic systems, characterised by increasing interconnectedness and interdependence. Neoliberal globalisation has been a key driving force behind this systemic evolution. This thesis claims that emerging global trends, such as climate change, illustrate the flaws in the dominant political philosophy of procedural liberalism. Freedom, understood as non-interference within this model, has permitted social fragmentation, atomisation and degradation of socio-political institutions. As a result, the latter are argued to rely on top-down impositions of the common good to facilitate adaption to new socio-political challenges, which undermine democracy. This calls for a need to find a political philosophy that can foster adaption to new circumstances, whilst maximising the democratic empowerment of individuals in the Western world. This thesis constructs a unique civic republican model based upon a revision of the scholarship of Michael Sandel, termed resilient civic republicanism (RCR). It contends that this is an appropriate political philosophy for the 21st century, in virtue of its capacity to underpin a resilient democratic socio-political institutional model in the face of contemporary challenges. This is due to being based on an alternative conception of liberty, freedom as self-government, which reinforces principles such as public deliberation, civic virtue, civic spaces, and federalism. These are subsequently argued to foster the self-reflection and adaption that resilience demands. By facilitating the acknowledgement of mutual self-realisation and collective responsibility, in that today one’s self-realisation is dependent on others, RCR can reconcile the imposition of new obligations (deemed necessary to attend to systemic challenges) with individual empowerment. Hence the claim that RCR would not result in socio-political institutions being corrupted by contemporary developments. The thesis therefore maintains that RCR can preserve liberty, and accommodate new constraints being imposed by emergent social and political changes within a democratic institutional model, in contradistinction to procedural liberalism.

DESCRIPTION
Solitary subcylindrical coral. Calice subcircular with moderately large and deep, eccentric fossa. Radial elements are slightly exsert, compact, free, straight, slightly curved or even bent (costo-?) septa. Septa show regular variation of their thickness from the center to the periphery. Distal edge poorly ornamented by some regular wide festoons corresponding to the variations in thickness. Lateral faces show the subvertical orientation of these thicker and thinner bands. Hexameral symmetry not very regular. Bilateral symmetry visible with curvature of septa and eccentricity. Endotheca with tabuloid thick dissepiments. Wall of unknown nature but peripheral in position. Epitheca s.l. present.
Calicular diameter: 14 to 20 mm – Number of septa: approximately 30 to 40? – Septal density: 2 per 2 mm.
REMARK
Small rows of granules evoked in the fig. 70 of Alloiteau (1957) were not seen and the angle of thick and thin bands with vertical is obviously exaggerated.

description: Emerging evidence points to rising levels of psychological distress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need for self-administered, low cost, and accessible interventions that facilitate wellbeing and growth. This study used a randomised controlled trial (RCT) design to investigate the effects of a two-week positivity and hope-oriented photovoice intervention on wellbeing, posttraumatic growth, and idiosyncratic measures of positive emotions and coping, in comparison to a control group who did not receive the intervention. Participants were adults between the ages of 21 and 80 living in the UK recruited between May and August 2020, during the first UK national lockdown (n=109). Data were collected at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at one-month follow-up. The intervention group showed significantly greater positive change on all outcome measures compared to the control group, although these changes were not sustained at one-month follow-up. Limitations and implications for supporting wellbeing during the pandemic are discussed.

description: This study introduces identity economics in the investigation of countries’ economic behaviour in the energy sector. Identity expresses the position of the agent within the socioeconomic context. Identity economics aims at depicting the role of said context in the agent’s utility function. In our study we look at country identity as linked to the set of economic opportunities viable to its position.We extend the Akerlof and Kranton model (2000) to broaden its applicability at country level. We expand the notion of social categories and that of prescriptions, introducing responsive prescriptions, which allow the analyst to depict context validation, as well as context changes - the latter particularly relevant in a time of energy transition.We present a game theoretical application portraying a possible collaboration between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the development of a renewable energy initiative in Saudi Arabia. We present an extensive-form game with perfect information whose payoffs depict possible changes in relevant identities as outcome drivers, isolating identity dynamics to provide a framework of application for country identity economic analysis. Each country presents two relevant identities with opposite prescriptions, making them competitive.We also build a measurement tool – the identity change indicator - to quantify identity changes. It depicts country responsibility and social category adherence as determinants of changes. We use the indicator to solve the aforementioned game through a scenario-based application. We obtain collaboration in all scenarios, provided the proposal takes place.In the last part of the study, we use the indicator to monitor identity trends in Saudi Arabia. We focus on its diversification efforts investigating the shaping of the Kingdom’s “Diversified Economy” goal identity: an identity the country does not own, yet, but wants to obtain. We observe promising dynamics, albeit context validation is still lacking.
Essays in Macroeconomics

description: This thesis consists of two independent chapters. The first chapter investigates the effects of a change in the taxation system from joint to separate taxation on households’ labour supply, patterns of human capital formation, and intra-household allocations of consumption between primary and secondary earners. Household behaviour is described by an inter-temporal version of the collective household model, where household members’ relative bargaining power determines intra-household allocations of consumption. Household members have limited commitment over future allocations, and their bargaining power evolves endogenously in response to changes in the gains from marriage. The tax reform is shown to cause an internal redistribution of consumption from primary to secondary earners in households where the bargaining power of secondary earners is low. Following a switch from joint to separate taxation, secondary earners’ labour supply and stock of human capital are increased, which raises their value of divorce against the value of staying in the marriage. This translates into a higher bargaining power in the couple, and thus a higher share of secondary earners’ consumption in the household. The second chapter studies optimal monetary policy under loose commitment in a model with staggered price and wage setting. Under loose commitment, the policymaker commits to a policy plan but occasionally reneges on past promises with an exogenously given probability. The probability of commitment is common knowledge to the rational agents in the model, which makes central bank credibility imperfect. The loose commitment framework allows the researcher to investigate the relationship between credibility and welfare losses, measured by deviations of output gap and inflation from their targets. When a central bank marginally increases its credibility, welfare losses are reduced. The welfare gain is largely independent on the initial credibility level. Moreover, the output-inflation stabilisation trade-off and the response of endogenous variables to exogenous shocks change with the degree of commitment.

The Iron Arm of Empire: Railways, Imperialism and the Tensions of English Identity in Nineteenth-Century Literature
Creators: name: Barnes, Alicia
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Histories and cultural studies of nineteenth-century railways have long kept English railways
description: separate from imperial lines, suggesting that the parallel development of these networks was
description: unconnected. This thesis contributes to ongoing efforts to re-evaluate the impact of the British
description: Empire on Britain by investigating the ways nineteenth-century English railways were
description: understood as a constant physical and ideological point of contact between the nation and the
description: empire it headed.

description:

description: Beginning with the first railway periodical, The Railway Magazine (1835), chapter one
description: explores the ways in which railways became an integral part of national culture and identity from
description: early on in their development, and that simultaneously the national interest in them was coupled
description: with colonial investment and expansion. The second chapter then considers the way early
description: railway poetry in the form of Railroad Eclogues (1846) grappled with the national implications
description: of expansive railway development during the Railway Mania, and how imperial rhetoric fuelled
description: the debate between a pre-railway and railway nation. Chapter three marks a turning point in the
description: thesis, as it moves from the nationally introspective texts of early railway construction to Indian
description: travel writing that consolidated England’s railway characterisation while demonstrating the
description: imperial reach of these ideas. The final two chapters then demonstrate the connections between
description: end-of-the-century imperial anxiety and the presentation of railways as a national, imperial,
description: social and physical threat in varying forms of invasion literature, from George Chesney’s ‘The
description: Battle of Dorking’ (1871), to H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds (1898).

description:

description: This thesis argues that English railways in literature offer a far more insidious connection
description: to empire than has previously been acknowledged. As a characteristic of the nineteenth-century
description: nation, they demonstrate one of the ways in which empire was woven into English culture and
description: became indivisible from the country’s identity.

DESCRIPTION
Solitary coral, cylindrical to conical, quite irregular in shape. Radial elements are subcompact costosepta of a well-defined stylophyllid structure in their inner part but showing a wavy mid-septal line in the two peripheral thirds (this character can fit with a stylophyllid structure, see for example Cuif 1972 or Stolarski & Russo 2002). They are large, with detachments of quite rough septal spines at the inner edge and sometimes some stereome layers in depth. The last-order septa are constituted of only one or two septal spines that appear oblong (i.e. subcircular but elongated) in transverse section. No columella observed but the genus is described as having sometimes a papillose columella made of septal spines projected in the axial space. Endotheca made of large vesicular dissepiments with stereomal thickenings, in continuity with enlarged septa. An often eroded epicostal epitheca s.l. seems to wrap the corallum. Calicular diameter: 14 to 26 mm – Number of septa: 43 to 47 – Septal density: 3 to 4 per 2 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
This species differs from other Stylophyllopsis species by its large, weakly numerous septa with mid-septal line in the peripheral part of the corallite transverse section. Dissepiments are large too. The last-order septa are sometimes constituted of only one or two septal spines that appear oblong (i.e. subcircular, elongated) in transverse section.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE INSTITUTIONS OF LABOR LAW AND SOCIAL SECURITY LAW: A LEGAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Ergashev, Azamat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This article explores the intersection of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with labor law and social security law. It examines how CSR principles influence and are influenced by legal frameworks protecting workers' rights and social welfare. The analysis focuses on how CSR reinforces legal compliance, promotes better working conditions, and complements national labor and social security systems, especially in transitional and developing economies. The study draws from international standards such as the ILO Conventions, the UN Global Compact, and OECD Guidelines, alongside domestic legislation from selected jurisdictions. It concludes that CSR, though voluntary in nature, plays a critical role in advancing the objectives of labor and social protection laws and suggests legal reforms to further integrate CSR into enforceable labor frameworks.
A qualitative study to explore children’s experience of having long-Covid
Creators: name: Noorderhaven, Carolyn
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: There is currently uncertainty and limited research surrounding long-COVID in the paediatric
description: population. Reports are conflicting regarding the prevalence, duration, and impact of long
description: COVID on children. Despite the limited evidence, it is becoming increasingly apparent that
description: numerous children are experiencing long-term physical and psychological effects of COVID19
description: many months after the initial infection. This thesis aimed to investigate the lived
description: experience of children with long-COVID. Part one of this portfolio presents a systematic
description: review of the experiences of parents who provide care for a child with myalgic
description: encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The findings of the review indicate a
description: paucity of research on parents’ experiences. However, it is apparent that caring for a child
description: with ME/CFS is an all-encompassing, relentless undertaking, which can detrimentally impact
description: parents’ well-being, everyday life, and relationships. Given both ME/CFS and long-COVID
description: are both post-viral illnesses, sharing similar symptoms, with low-level immune system
description: activation. It may be conjectured that the existing knowledge on children with ME/CFS could
description: benefit both children suffering from long-COVID and help inform parents on how best to
description: care for their children. Part two of this portfolio presents an empirical paper exploring the
description: lived-experience of young people with long-COVID. Reflexive thematic analysis found three
description: key themes, specifically, the perceived barriers to coping with long-COVID, ongoing
description: associated emotional distress, and a desire for an integrated approach to long-COVID care.
