description: This thesis examines the role of Portugal as asylum destination among the twenty eight European Union Member States, and why it has been plagued by high abandonment rates in the context of the ongoing refugee crisis. The European Union faces unprecedented numbers of incoming refugees which have strained arrival countries and overwhelmed popular destination countries. This paper explores how an unequal regional distribution of refugees developed in the EU and why Portugal has become a transit country hub for secondary movements. Portugal presents an exceptional political willingness to take in more refugees and a civil society eagerness to welcome those in need of international protection. Yet this is matched with inexperienced an integration system and lack of refugee social networks vis-à vis other EU Member States which hinders its exposure as preferred country for resettlement or relocation. The study looks to understand what factors into refugees’ decision-making in order to contribute to the field in better understanding of the dynamics of EU asylum flows. I argue abandonment rates are high in Portugal because the country does not have international appeal as host country in comparison to other EU Member states. Both due to an inexperienced integration system and a weak refugee network of social connections, which are reciprocally influenced and prompt secondary movements. This research seeks to ultimately showcase the strengths and weaknesses of the Portuguese reception and integration system in order to increase the appeal of Portugal as a well-established destination country.

description: The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey (GLEAM) is a radio continuum survey at 72-231 MHz of the whole sky south of declination +30 deg, carried out with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). In this paper, we derive source counts from the GLEAM data at 200, 154, 118 and 88 MHz, to a flux density limit of 50, 80, 120 and 290 mJy respectively, correcting for ionospheric smearing, incompleteness and source blending. These counts are more accurate than other counts in the literature at similar frequencies as a result of the large area of sky covered and this survey's sensitivity to extended emission missed by other surveys. At S_154MHz > 0.5 Jy, there is no evidence of flattening in the average spectral index (alpha approx. -0.8 where S proportional to nu^alpha) towards the lower frequencies. We demonstrate that the SKA Design Study (SKADS) model by Wilman et al. (2008) significantly underpredicts the observed 154 MHz GLEAM counts, particularly at the bright end. Using deeper LOFAR counts and the SKADS model, we find that sidelobe confusion dominates the thermal noise and classical confusion at nu >~ 100 MHz due to both the limited CLEANing depth and undeconvolved sources outside the field-of-view. We show that we can approach the theoretical noise limit using a more efficient and automated CLEAN algorithm.

description: We present an ab initio simulation of $90^{\circ}$ ferroelastic twins that were recently observed in methyl ammonium lead iodide. There are two inequivalent types of $90^{\circ}$ walls that we calculate to act as either electron or hole sinks which suggests a possible route to enhancing charge carrier separation in photovoltaic devices. Despite separating non-polar domains, we show these walls to have a substantial in-plane polarisation of $\sim 6 \phantom{|} μ\text{C}\phantom{|}\text{cm}^{-2}$, due in part to flexoelectricity. We suggest this in turn could allow for the photoferroic effect and create efficient pathways for photocurrents within the wall.

description: The ever increasing utilization of cross-functional teams (CFTs) to address a broad range of complex work challenges has made it imperative that factors supporting their effectiveness be better understand. While these teams have great potential for bringing together different sets of skills to address the needs of organizations their outcomes have been mixed at best with some teams exceeding expectations and many falling far short of initial hopes. The present study seeks to understand the ways in which leader behaviors related to the framing of diversity, team and purpose early in the life of a CFT have an impact on initial team member perceptions. The findings revealed no significant effects for Diversity Framing or Team Emphasis Framing on team member perceptions. Framing by the leader with regard to Purpose Clarity, however, was shown to impact significantly a number of key dependent measures with Clear Purpose leading to higher ratings of Readiness to Engage, Readiness to Learn, and Readiness to Take Risks. In addition, Clear Purpose produced a marginally significant increase in ratings of the measure, Feelings of Valuing of Uniqueness. Lastly, the results showed a significant interaction effect on the measure, Team Potency, with higher ratings occurring in the condition when Purpose was unclear, Diversity Ignored, but when the concept of Team was emphasized by the Leader. The implications of the results for theory and future research are discussed, as are implications for leadership development and the training of team coaches and consultants.

description: Skew orthogonal polynomials arise in the calculation of the $n$-point distribution function for the eigenvalues of ensembles of random matrices with orthogonal or symplectic symmetry. In particular, the distribution functions are completely determined by a certain sum involving the skew orthogonal polynomials. In the cases that the eigenvalue probability density function involves a classical weight function, explicit formulas for the skew orthogonal polynomials are given in terms of related orthogonal polynomials, and the structure is used to give a closed form expression for the sum. This theory treates all classical cases on an equal footing, giving formulas applicable at once to the Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi cases.

What Affects Theme Park Performance: A Comparative Case Study of Disney Theme Parks in East Asia

description: This study aims to find out what are the critical reasons that result in the significantly different performance of Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Resort, and what experience and lessons that the new Shanghai Disneyland can learn from. A comparative analysis is conducted from external and internal aspects between the two Disney theme parks in Asia. The results indicate that unfair financial arrangement and the small size of Hong Kong Disneyland have hefty impacts on profits while the Tokyo Disney Resort succeeds by providing a Japanized American Dream to Japanese visitors. Although there are other influential factors, the writer argues that the reason lies mostly in the financial arrangement and the small size of Hong Kong Disneyland. The two cases can provide experience and lessons to future theme parks in China, especially projects themed in international companies.
Evolution of Cosmological Perturbations in the Long Wavelength Limit

description: The relation between the long wavelength limit of solutions to the cosmological perturbation equations and the perturbations of solutions to the exactly homogeneous background equations is investigated for scalar perturbations on spatially flat cosmological models. It is shown that a homogeneous perturbation coincides with the long wavelength limit of some inhomogeneous perturbation only when the former satisfies an additional condition corresponding to the momentum constraint if the matter consists only of scalar fields. In contrast, no such constraint appears if the fundamental variables describing the matter contain a vector field as in the case of a fluid. Further, as a byproduct of this general analysis, it is shown that there exist two universal exact solutions to the perturbation equations in the long wavelength limit, which are expressed only in terms of the background quantities. They represent adiabatic growing and decaying modes, and correspond to the well-known exact solutions for perfect fluid systems and scalar field systems.

description: Economic liberalization and structural reform agenda of 1990’s in India led to a boom in infrastructure development and expansion. The construction sector in India is one of the largest employers of workers, next only to agriculture. Informal, unskilled workers form a major part of this labor force. In this context, social assistance provided for workers by the Government of India has particularly focused on preventing exploitative conditions at the worksite. Seldom is it directed towards skills, wages, and productivity nexus to uplift livelihood of workers. Hence, there is a need to understand how employers structure welfare through skill upgradation; and how the worker locates himself amongst the organizational, institutional and monetary choices, within a geographical region. Types of skill acquisition and development become primary intervention tools for safeguarding livelihood generation and welfare of a construction worker. This thesis concerns with traditional and modern construction skills development with respect to social mobility in the context of public and private institutional frameworks.

description: The Kondo effect is a many-body phenomenon allowing insight into the electronic and atomistic structure of spin-polarized adsorbates on metal surfaces. Its chemical control is intriguing because it deepens such insight, but the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. We study the effect of increasing the number of CO ligands attached to a cobalt adatom on copper(001), which correlates with an increase in the Kondo temperature $T_K$ experimentally (P. Wahl et al, Phy. Rev. Lett. 95, 166601 (2005)), by solving an Anderson impurity model parametrized by density functional theory (DFT++). Our results suggest that the orbital responsible for the Kondo effect is $d_{x^2-y^2}$ for the tetracarbonyl, and its combination with $d_{z^2}$ for the dicarbonyl. The molecular structures depend considerably on the approximate exchange--correlation functional, which may be related to the known difficulty of describing CO binding to metal surfaces. These structural variations strongly affect the Kondo properties, which is not only a concern for predictive studies, but also of interest for detecting mechanical deformations and for understanding the effect of tip--adsorbate interactions in the scanning tunneling microscope. Still, by constraining the tetracarbonyl to $C_{4v}$ symmetry, as suggested by experimental data, we find structures compatible with the experimental trend for $T_K$ (employing BLYP-D3+U). This is not possible for the tricarbonyl despite the range of computational parameters scanned. For the tetra- and dicarbonyl, the increased $T_K$ correlates with a larger hybridization function at the Fermi level, which we trace back to an increased interaction of the Co $3d$ orbitals with the ligands.

description: Since 2002, the rules and regulations of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act have dictated state and local education policy, influenced state and local reform efforts, and led to significant investments in building the capacity of state and local education agencies to meet its mandates. Using a nationally comprehensive data set on school- and student subgroup-level NCLB outcomes, these three studies are the first national studies exploring the ways in which state officials’ interpretations of NCLB policy led to significant cross-state variation in school and subgroup outcomes across the country. I also investigate the extent to which NCLB accountability pressures and incentive structures led state and local officials to use school closure as a remedy for schools’ persistence poor performance. I conduct the latter analysis for all U.S. public schools and separately for a subset of U.S. public schools, all U.S. charters schools, in order to account for the idiosyncrasies of charter school governance and oversight. I find that significant cross-state variation in the share of schools identified as “failing” according to NCLB rules can largely be explained by variation in states’ NCLB implementation decisions, and that schools determined to have “failed” according to NCLB rules are more likely to close than schools that never “failed.” For all public schools and for charter schools only, a school determined to have “failed” according to NCLB rules is significantly more likely to close than a school determined to have never “failed.” Combined, these studies provide insight into the ways in which states’ NCLB implementation decisions had significant and lasting impact on school outcomes and state and local reforms.

This two-credit course focuses on the what, why, who and how of qualitative mixed methods research design, data collection and analysis relevant to professional planning practice. As a core course for SCARP Master's students, this practice-based course provides beginning and more advanced students an opportunity to prepare for their professional careers. Students will learn about and apply each step of various methods and strategies in qualitative data collection and analysis useful for planning practice. Students worked in seven separate groups, three of them look at the Gaps and Opportunities of the UBC Arts and Culture District and three of them conducted an assessment to give recommendations of how to create a UBC inclusive nightlife event, working from an intersectional perspective. The seventh group worked in the two topics from an indigenous perspective. In this report, we first include an executive summary for each of the group projects, followed by the full report that each group drafted, focusing on the specific group of population with whom they worked.

description: The presence of correlations between particles significantly separated in pseudorapidity in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions has raised questions about whether collective effects are observed in small collision systems as well as in heavy-ion collisions. The quantification of these long-range correlations by $v_n$ coefficients is of particular interest. A selection of the latest $v_n$ measurements is presented, including results from the recent $d$+Au beam energy scan at RHIC where a significant non-zero $v_2$ is measured down to low center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 39 GeV). Results from a collision system scan - comprising $p$+Au, $d$+Au, and $^3$He+Au collisions - are also shown to address the role of the initial nuclear geometry in the final state anisotropy. Finally, the challenge of measuring multi-particle cumulants, particularly $c_2\{4\}$, in $p$+$p$ collisions is discussed, and new methods for reducing the effects of non-flow are shown to produce a more robust measurement of $v_2\{4\}$ in $p$+$p$ collisions.

description: Quantum cosmology based on the Wheeler De Witt equation represents a simple way to implement plausible quantum effects in a gravitational setup. In its minisuperspace version wherein one restricts attention to FLRW metrics with a single scale factor and only a few degrees of freedom describing matter, one can obtain exact solutions and thus acquire full knowledge of the wave function. Although this is the usual way to treat a quantum mechanical system, it turns out however to be essentially meaningless in a cosmological framework. Turning to a trajectory approach then provides an effective means of deriving physical consequences.

description: Rotational motion of extended celestial bodies is discussed in the framework of the Parametrized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism with the two parameters $γ$ and $β$. A local PPN reference system of a massive extended body being a member of a system of N massive extended bodies is constructed. In the local PPN reference system the external gravitational field manifests itself only in the form of tidal potentials. Rotational equations of motion, which are then derived in the local reference system, reveal a special term in the torque analogous to the Nordtvedt effect in the translational equations of motion: it is proportional to $4β-γ-3$, to the acceleration of the body relative to the global PPN reference system and to some quantity characterizing the distribution of inertial gravitational energy within the body. This term is a direct consequence of the violation of the Strong Equivalence Principle in alternative theories of gravitation.

description: In late medieval Europe, suspicions arose that minority groups wished to destroy the Christian majority by poisoning water sources. These suspicions caused the persecution of different minorities by rulers, nobles and officials in various parts of the continent during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The best-known case of this kind of persecution was attacks perpetrated against Jewish communities in the German Empire between 1348 and 1350. At this time, the Black Death devastated the continent, and Jews were accused of intentionally spreading the disease by poisoning wells. A series of terrifying massacres ensued, destroying many of the major Jewish communities in Europe. This was not, however, the only case in which such charges led to persecution. In 1321, lepers in south-western France were accused of attempting to spread their particular illness by poisoning water sources. These accusations evolved to include the idea that the plot was initiated by Muslim rulers and aided by the Jews of France. As a consequence, both Jews and lepers suffered violent fates, from expulsion or isolation to execution by fire. Similar, albeit less widespread, cases can be traced up until the fifteenth century. Often Jews were the victims, but lepers, Muslims, paupers, mendicants and foreigners also fell victim to persecution justified by allegations of well poisoning. This dissertation presents a thorough analysis of the subject of well-poisoning accusations and describes why and how they were adopted in the late Middle Ages. The study describes the origins of this phenomenon, how it spread through medieval Europe and its eventual decline. It asserts that in order to explain this process, one must first understand the factors within medieval society, culture and politics that made the idea of a well-poisoning threat convincing. It shows that these accusations were created to justify and drive the persecution and marginalization of minorities. At the same time, it claims that well-poisoning accusations could not have caused such major political and social shifts unless contemporaries genuinely believed the charges were plausible, convincing and threatening.

description: This is the story of the slow evolution of Goldman Sachs - addressing why and how the firm changed from an ethical standard to a legal one as it grew to be a leading global corporation.
In What Happened to Goldman Sachs, Steven G. Mandis uncovers the forces behind what he calls Goldman's "organizational drift." Drawing from his firsthand experience; sociological research; analysis of SEC, congressional, and other filings; and a wide array of interviews with former clients, detractors, and current and former partners, Mandis uncovers the pressures that forced Goldman to slowly drift away form the very principles on which its reputation was built.
Mandis evaluates what made Goldman Sachs so successful in the first place, how it responded to pressures to grow, why it moved away from the values and partnership culture that sustained it for so many years, what forces accelerated this drift, and why insiders can't - or won't - recognize this crucial change.
Combining insightful analysis with engaging storytelling, Mandis has written an insider's history that offers invaluable perspectives to business leaders interested in understanding and managing organizational drift in their own firms.

What Do We Mean by ‘Preserving Digital Information’? Towards Sound Conceptual Foundations for Digital Stewardship

Digital preservation

description: Digital preservation is fundamental to information stewardship in the 21st century. Although much useful work on preservation strategies has been accomplished, we do not yet have an adequate conceptual framework that articulates precisely and formally what preservation actually is. The intention of the account provided here is to bring us closer to this goal. Following an initial analysis of the concept of preservation as it occurs in ordinary discourse around digital stewardship, several influential preservation models are analyzed, identifying both useful insights and problems. A framework of interrelated concepts is then developed that analyzes the challenges of long term digital stewardship through the lens of information communication. Successful digital stewardship is understood as reliable, mediated, intentional communication with an emphasis on the agents involved in the process and the roles they play in supporting the intended flow of information through time and inevitable changes in the underlying mediating communication technology. The complex notion of the digital object, commonly considered the persistent unit of digitally–communicated information, is unpacked into its fundamental abstract and concrete components, avoiding the common category mistakes that pervade digital preservation discourse and impede a clear understanding of the nature of preservation. This conceptual framework makes use of the conceptual machinery of Situation Theory [Devlin, 1995] and the Gricean theory of meaning [Grice, 1957,Grice, 1968]. The notion of an interpretive frame [Dubin et al., 2011] is adopted here to model the contingent mapping between the fundamental components involved in the representation of information and extended with the notion of a constraint (from Situation Theory) to clarify the role of agent intentionality in the process of establishing the appropriate mappings that ultimately support the successful communication of units of information. This agent–based intentional perspective not only captures the social and contextual nature of successful digital stewardship, but also promises to support a finer grained analysis of preservation expectations from different stakeholders and the potential practical strategies to fulfill them. This research is intended as a contribution to the overall digital preservation agenda by bringing us closer to sound conceptual foundations for the long–term stewardship of our digital scientific and cultural heritage.
What Influences School District  Effectiveness Growth Trajectories? A Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM) Analysis

description: As a local education agency, school districts play an important role in providing instructional support for teachers and school leaders, making instructional goals, and allocating financial and human capital resources in a rational way to promote overall students’ learning outcomes. Studies on school districts that look to find reasons or characteristics related to school district success are known as district effectiveness research (DER). Previous quantitative research in DER using longitudinal dataset has assumed that all school district effectiveness (SDE) changes in a common pattern through a traditional ordinary linear regression or a hierarchal linear model while ignoring the probability that there might exist distinct subgroups of school district effectiveness trajectories. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the existence of different SDE trajectories and how school district demographic variables and financial expenditures affect classification of SDE groups using a growth mixture model (GMM) with a national longitudinal dataset containing all public school districts in all 50 states and Washington D.C. from 2009 to 2015 (n = 11,185). The results indicated that (a) there are three different classes of school district effectiveness growth trajectories, which can be named as a constant SDE group (3.66%), a decreasing SDE group (34.16%), and an increasing SDE group (62.18%); (b) school district demographic characteristics such as a percentage of free lunch students and general administration expenditure per pupil are significantly associated with the probability of a school district being classified to a specific group; and (c) the longitudinal effects of school district demographic covariates and financial expenditures within each class such as school district locations (e.g., urban, suburban, etc.) are associated with the growth factors (intercept and slopes) in different ways.
Correlations, multiplicity distributions, and the ridge in pp and p-Pb collisions

description: Measurements made by the ALICE Collaboration of single- and two-particle distributions in high-energy pp and p-Pb collisions are used to characterize the interactions in small collision systems, tune models of particle production in QCD, and serve as a baseline for heavy-ion observables. The measurements of charged-particle multiplicity density, $\langle dN_{ch}/dη\rangle$, and multiplicity distributions are shown in pp and p-Pb collisions, including data from the top center-of-mass energy achieved at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. Two-particle angular correlations in p-Pb collisions are studied in detail to investigate long-range correlations in pseudorapidity which are reminiscent of structures previously thought unique to heavy-ion collisions.
