title: Love, passion and patriotism: Sexuality and the Philippine propaganda movement, 1882-1892.
Creators: name: Reyes, Raquel A.G.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2004

description: This study investigates the relationship between sexuality and the creation of a Filipino national identity. It focuses on the Filipino patriots Jose Rizal (1861-1896), Marcelo H. del Pilar (1850-1896), Graciano Lopez Jaena (1856-1896), Juan Luna (1857-1899) and Antonio Luna (1866-1899) - ilustrados or 'enlightened' men who were all prominent figures in the campaign for reform conducted in Europe. Through a reading of selected literary works and paintings, this study examines how the ilustrados' notions of masculinity and femininity were influenced by their academic training, their travels overseas and their personal relationships, especially with women. Ilustrado ideas about sex and gender were initially rooted in the emergent bourgeois society of late 19th century Manila, a society whose beliefs and customs adapted those of Catholic Spain. Masculinity was linked to notions of hidalguia, machismo and honour; femininity to notions of modesty, propriety and passivity. Elite society as a whole professed the ideals of courtesy, refinement, good taste and piety encoded in the precepts of urbanidad. In Europe the attitudes of the propagandistas towards issues of sexuality were coloured by their encounters with modem life in the cities where they studied, worked and campaigned - most especially Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and London. The manner in which they defined masculinity and femininity, moreover, became crucially implicated in their patriotic project. They sought to demonstrate the falsity of colonialist jibes about Filipino infantilism, effeminacy and effeteness by physically affirming urbanity and manliness in their dress, grooming and deportment, and courage and virility through duelling. Though the propagandistas were deeply committed to the pursuit of modernity and progress in economic, scientific and philosophical terms, and though generally progressive in their thinking about the social advancement of women, they found the relatively free, uninhibited 'Modem Woman' disturbing, at once alluring and sordid, at once tempting and contemptible. Their publicly professed feminine ideal, posited as the model for women in the emerging Philippine nation, remained essentially conservative. Filipinas were to be virtuous, demure and subordinate; their sexuality to be rigidly limited and confined.

title: The house of song : Musical structures in Zoroastrian prayer performance.
Creators: name: Mirza, Raiomond
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2004

description: This thesis uncovers the presence of musical structures within Zoroastrian prayer performance and articulates the details of these structures and also the way in which they are manifested and are passed down through generations. Initial research included an amalgamation and examination of the few references to music in Zoroastrian prayer that there are to be found in existing literature. The bulk of the research involved travelling to different countries to make contemporary sound recordings of prayers and to conduct extensive interviews with priests. Archival recordings were also gathered as data for examination. The evolution of the status and role of priests within the Zoroastrian community from antiquity to the present day as well as the training they receive is presented in order to understand the social as well as religious context within which Zoroastrian prayer is performed and taught. A substantial body of evidence is provided in the form of musical notations of the prayers of over thirty men and boys as well as more than an hour of accompanying sound recordings. Interview data is also provided to illuminate the perspectives of the performers on their own material. The musical analysis of the notations uncovers musical structures in Zoroastrian prayer, and an examination of interview data first reveals the mechanism by which these structures are manifested and transmitted and then synthesises the conclusions into a model for music making which operates to shape the sound of Zoroastrian prayer. The final analysis explores the age of these musical structures from the most recent and provable point of existence to a possibly ancient origin.

title: Across the Rural-Urban Universe: Two Continuous Indices of Urbanization for U.S. Census Microdata
Creators: name: Schroeder, Jonathan

Year: 2019

description: To distinguish urban and rural populations in the U.S., a common practice is to use one of the official federal classifications of metropolitan/non-metropolitan (i.e., metro/nonmetro) or urban/rural areas. These classifications, however, are not identified in public use census microdata, which makes it difficult to investigate relationships between the urban/rural status of individuals and their demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, and living arrangements. The standard classifications are also coarse, masking potentially important variations, and they represent two distinct dimensions of settlement patterns, so it can be misleading to use only one classification (as is common) to generalize about urbanrural disparities. To address these limitations, we compute two continuous indices for public use microdata—average tract density and average metro/micro-area population—using population-weighted geometric means. We show how these indices correspond to two key dimensions of settlement patterns, and we demonstrate their utility through an examination of disparities in poverty throughout the ruralurban universe. Poverty rates vary across settlement patterns in nonlinear ways: poverty rates are lowest in moderately-dense parts of major metro areas, and rates are higher in both low- and high-density areas, as well as in smaller commuting systems. Using the two indices also reveals that correlations between poverty and demographic characteristics vary considerably across different settlement types. Both indices are now available for recent census microdata via IPUMS USA (https://usa.ipums.org).

Studio morfologico della spermateca in Coleotteri Isteridi, con particolare attenzione alla tribù Saprinini

description: MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF T H f SPERMA THECA IN HISTERID BEETLES, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE TRIBE Saprinini

By examining a number of species of different subfamilies and tribes, the interspecific variability of the spermatheca in Histeridae is emphasized. Two fundamental patterns of this organ are recognized:

I) Spermathecae including 4 to 9 sessile receptacles and lacking in distinct sperma- thecal gland: they are characteristic of the tribe Histerini (figs 1-4);

II) Spermathecae including an unic receptacle, a more or less long duct and a distinct gland, sometimes very big: they are present in ali the other examined species.

Within the tribe Saprinini the spermathecae show typically a basa! invagination (ib) and an apical invagination (ia), respectively corresponding to the inlets of the main duct (D) and the glandular duct (G); rarely the spermathecae lack ia. On the basis of the charac- ters of invaginations, the authors divide the different forms found in 35 species (8 genera) of Saprinini in the following categories.

Viene documentata la notevole variabilità interspecifica della sperma- teca negli lsteridi, attraverso l'esame di specie di diverse sottofamiglie e tribù. Si riconoscono due modelli fondamentali di tale organo: l) spermateca a ricettacolo multiplo, sessile e senza distinta ghiandola spermatecale, caratteristica degli Histerini; Il) spermateca a ricettacolo singolo, con dotto di varia lunghezza e ghiandola spermatecale più o meno sviluppta, in tutti gli altri raggruppamenti.

La morfologia del ricettacolo nei Saprinini (esaminate 35 specie di 8 generi) viene particolarmente studiata, riguardo alla presenza di una o due invaginazioni, rispettivamente in corrispondenza del dotto principale e del dotto della ghiandola. In base alla forma e allo sviluppo di tali invaginazioni vengono definite sei cate- gorie di spermateche, le quali sono tutte rappresentate nel genere Saprinus, mentre vi è un'unica categoria nell'insieme degli altri sette generi esaminati. Viene ritenuto più primitivo il modello di ricettacolo di Saprinus algericus, perché presenta una sola delle due invaginazioni.

Si avanza l'ipotesi che, in generale, lo sviluppo filogenetico di processi di varia forma all'interno del ricettacolo della spermateca sia favorito da precise ragioni funzionali (per esempio, un'ordinato immagazzinamento degli spermatozoi) e che pertanto la presenza di simili processi di lsteridi Saprinini, Plegaderini e Teretriini, come in Coleotteri di altre famiglie, rappresenti un esempio di convergenza adattativa.

description: The Himalayan syntaxes, characterized by extreme rates of rock exhumation co-located with major trans-orogenic rivers, figure prominently in the debate on tectonic versus erosional forcing of exhumation. Both the mechanism and timing of rapid exhumation of the Namche Barwa massif in the eastern syntaxis remain controversial. It has been argued that coupling between crustal rock advection and surface erosion initiated in the late Miocene (8-10 Ma). Recent studies, in contrast, suggest a Quaternary onset of rapid exhumation linked to a purely tectonic mechanism. We report new multisystem detrital thermochronology data from the most proximal Neogene clastic sediments downstream of Namche Barwa and use a thermo-kinematic model constrained by new and published data to explore its exhumation history. Modeling results show that exhumation accelerated to similar to 4 km/m.y. at ca. 8 Ma and to similar to 9 km/m.y. after ca. 2 Ma. This three-stage history reconciles apparently contradictory evidence for early and late onset of rapid exhumation and suggests efficient coupling between tectonics and erosion since the late Miocene. Quaternary acceleration of exhumation is consistent with river-profile evolution and may be linked to a Quaternary river-capture event.
Nota sullo svernamento di Lysiphlebus testaceipes Cr. (Hymenoptera Ichneumonoidea)

description: PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ON OVERWINTERING OF Lysiph/ebus testaceipes CR. (Hym. Ichneumonoidea)

Lysiphlebus testaceipes Cr. (Hymenoptera Ichneumonoidea) is the main parasite of Aphis hederae Kalt. (on Hedera helix L.) in winter time in Apulia.

Observations show that this parasite produce 10-11 generations in its host from the end of August to the middle of May. The length of its cycle is afiected by environmental con- ditions, particurarly temperature (10-11 days at 23"C, 40-42 days at ll"C).

Samples of Aphis hederae parasitized by L. testaceipes have been collected in the field ali Year long. During the Summer, when the number of Aphids on Hedera is reduced, the parasite lives in the citrus Aphids, especially in Toxoptera aurantii B.d.F.

Few samples of other parasites have been found in mummified A. hederae collected in Spring: Trioxys angelicae Hai. and Praon volucre Hai.

Nella regione pugliese Aphis hederae risulta essere l'ospite principale di Lysiphlebus testaceipes, il più importante parassita degli Afidi degli Agrumi. Su Aphis hederae esso svolge da fine agosto a metà maggio l0-11 generazioni, la cui durata è influenzata dall'andamento climatico, in particolare dalla temperatura; la sua abbondanza risulta invece correlata all'attività di A. hederae, che è in stretta relazione all'andamento dello stato vegetazionale di Hedera helix, a sua volta influenzato dalla piovosità.
 Ci troviamo quindi in presenza di un parassita polifago su specie del genere Aphis dalla primavera all'autunno, e tendenzialmente monofago su A. hederae nel periodo invernale.

Questo tipo di comportamento indurrebbe a consigliare almeno la non distruzione dell'Edera presente negli ambienti di coltivazione degli Agrumi, poiché dalla capacità di sopravvivenza nel periodo invernale di L. testaceipes e dalla sua abbondanza deriva la possibilità di un efficace controllo biologico contro gli Afidi degli Agrumi.

description: A 2-year outdoor mesocosm experiment was carried out to determine the effects of high C amendments (HCAs; wheat straw and sawdust) compared to a control with no addition of HCAs (no-HCA) and 2 different crop rotation systems (spring barley/winter barley and faba bean/winter barley) on soil bacterial communities using a molecular barcoding approach. Samples were analyzed after pre-crop harvest (T1) and harvest of winter barley (T2). Our data demonstrate a clear drop in bacterial diversity after winter barley harvest in the no-HCA and wheat straw treatment compared to the pre-crops. Sawdust application had a stabilizing effect on bacterial diversity compared to the pre-crops and induced an increase in carbon (C) stocks in soil which were however negatively correlated with yields. Main responders in the no-HCA and wheat straw treatment compared to the pre-crops were bacteria of the phyla Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes which were enriched and bacteria belonging to Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Proteobacteria, and Gemmatimonadaceae which were depleted. Overall differences between wheat straw-amended and no-HCA control samples were small and included single ASVs from various phyla. In sawdust-amended samples, only a shift of some Proteobacteria families was observed compared to the no-HCA control. Overall, pre-crop plant species had small influence on the observed response pattern of the soil microbiome towards the amendments and was only visible for wheat straw.
title: The power behind the throne: Relations between the British and the Indian states 1870-1909.
Creators: name: Keen, Caroline
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: This thesis explores the manner in which British officials attempted to impose ideas of 'good government' upon the Indian states and the effect of such ideas upon the ruling princes of those states. The work studies the crucial period of transition from traditional to modem rule which occurred for the first generation of westernised princes during the latter decades of the nineteenth century. It is intended to test the hypothesis that, although virtually no aspect of palace life was left untouched by the paramount power, having instigated fundamental changes in princely practice during minority rule the British paid insufficient attention to the political development of their adult royal proteges. In many cases traditional royal practice and authority were deemed expendable in the urgency to instigate efficient and accountable methods of administration in states. The five sections following the introduction examine the life cycle of an Indian prince and the role of British officials at each stage of the cycle. The first section examines the position of the British in determining disputed successions to the Indian princely thrones. The second section deals with the first generation of Indian rulers to be exposed to a western education, either under an English tutor attached to a court or at one of the new princely colleges. The third section looks at marriages of Indian rulers and the extent to which royal women were empowered by British indirect rule. The fourth section tackles the administration of princely states and the relative success of political officers in turning Indian princes from traditional rulers into westernised administrators. The final section looks at British efforts to alter court hierarchy and ritual to conform to strict British bureaucratic guidelines and ideas of accountability. In analysing this critical phase of princely development the thesis makes a major contribution to the understanding of the progression of indirect rule under the Raj.

description: The magnetic moment of a quantum dot can be screened by its coupling to a superconducting reservoir, depending on the hierarchy of the superconducting gap and the relevant Kondo scale. This screening-unscreening transition can be driven by electrostatic gating, tunnel coupling, and, as we demonstrate here, a magnetic field. We perform high-resolution spectroscopy of subgap excitations near the screening-unscreening transition of asymmetric superconductor-quantum dot-superconductor (S-QD-S) junctions formed by the electromigration technique. Our measurements reveal a re-entrant phase boundary determined by the competition between Zeeman energy and gap reduction with magnetic field. We further track the evolution of the phase transition with increasing temperature, which is also evinced by thermal replicas of subgap states.

description: FAUNISTIC STUDIES ON THE COCCIDAE ON ORNAMENTAL PLANTS IN ANKARA, TURKEY.

The coccid species present in parks, gardens and greenhouses in Ankara, Turkey, and their host plants were studied in 1992, ‘94, ‘95 and ‘96. Thirteen species of Coccidae were detected on ornamental plants: two species of Eulecanium, four species of Parthenolecanium and one species each from the genera Coccus, Filippia, Palaeolecanium, Physokermes, Pulvinaria, Saissetia and Sphaerolecanium. The most common species was Parthenolecanium corni, found on 36% of the infested ornamental plants. Physokermes picea was found on four species of Picea, of which it infested 16.3% of the plants surveyed. Filippia follicularis was detected on 2% of Fraxinus spp. while Physokermes piceae, Filippia follicularis, Parthenolecanium persicae and P. pomeranicum were recovered on 16, 2, 1 and 1% of the infested plants respectively.

description: Multichannel quantum defect theory is applied in the treatment of the dissociative recombination and vibrational excitation processes for the BeD$^+$ ion in the twenty four vibrational levels of its ground electronic state ($\textrm{X}\,{^{1}Σ^{+}},v_{i}^{+}=0\ldots 23$). Three electronic symmetries of BeD$^{**}$ states (\ensuremath{^{2}Π}, \ensuremath{^{2}Σ^{+}}, and \ensuremath{^{2}Δ}), are considered in the calculation of cross sections and the corresponding rate coefficients. The incident electron energy range is $10^{-5}$--2.7 eV and the electron temperature range is 100--5000~K. The vibrational dependence of these collisional processes is highlighted. The resulting data are useful in magnetic confinement fusion edge plasma modelling and spectroscopy, in devices with beryllium based main chamber materials, such as ITER and JET, and operating with the deuterium-tritium fuel mix. An extensive rate coefficients database is presented in graphical form and also by analytic fit functions whose parameters are tabulated in the supplementary material.

title: The interdependence of Chinese Buddhist sculpture in bronze and stone from 368 A.D. to 581 A.D.
Creators: name: Capon, Edmund
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: The principal published discussions on and studies of Chinese Buddhist sculpture have adopted a curiously ambivalent approach. General studies on the history and overall development have been presented by Ashton (1924), Omura (1922), Siren (1925) and more recently by Mizuno (1960) and Matsubara (1961). These have attempted comprehensive surveys of the subject and discuss both bronze and stone sculptures. Matsubara confines his study to independent sculptures and omits material from the cave temples. The only study dealing exclusively with bronze images is Munsterberg's Chinese Buddhist Bronzes (1967). In contrast to these general surveys are specific studies devoted to the most important Buddhist monuments. These include Mizuno and Nagahiro on the Yun Kang temples (1951-6) and Hsiang T'ang-shan (1937), and Chinese publications on Mai Chi-shan (1954), Lung-men (1961) and Kung-hsien (1963). All these publications are essentially historical surveys and do not investigate in depth the various relationships and developments which affected the progression of style. One of the most significant contributions in this context is Soper's South Chinese influence on Buddhist art of the Six Dynasties Period' in which the author examines political and social conditions, doctrinal developments and above all elements of sculptural style. During the period under discussion in this thesis when Buddhist sculpture in China developed from the western based styles of the 4th, and early 5th, centuries, through a period of unification under a common native style to the diversification and experimentation of the later 6th, century it was natural that the two principal mediums, bronze and stone, should become involved in similar themes and modes of expression. It is this relationship and its contribution to the evolution and progression of style that is the subject of this study.

description: SCALE INSECT DIVERSITY IN CENTRAL AMERICA, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE SOFT SCALES (HEMIPTERA: COCCIDAE).

Central America, which includes Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, has provided a continuous land bridge for the mixing of the floras and faunas of North and South America for millions of years. Due to their complex geological and climatic histories, these countries have experienced repeated invasions and establishment of flora and fauna from both North and South America and have served as centres of speciation and biotic diversification. Today, this area boasts one of the highest diversities of insect species and yet little is known about the scale insects of this region. This paper represents a summary of the current understanding of soft scale insect diversity and distribution for these seven countries of Central America, from which only 20 genera and 56 species of Coccidae are recorded.

Key words: biodiversity, Neotropical region.

description: While Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly being implemented in educational systems, monitoring projects which capture the status and diffusion processes of ESD are also gaining relevance. The article presents part of the national monitoring of ESD in Germany—a qualitative expert interview study—which aims to analyze the diffusion process of ESD in different educational areas (early childhood education, school education, vocational education and training, higher education, non-formal learning organizations, and local authorities). Its goal is to gain a systematic understanding of the diffusion process of ESD in the different areas of the German educational system. For the analysis of the 66 expert interviews, a qualitative content analysis was used. The overarching result of the study is that there is no single transformation path of ESD diffusion that fits all educational areas. Instead, characteristics of ESD as well as prevailing structural conditions, systemic goals, and the understanding of education within the respective educational area have an impact on the diffusion of ESD. The diffusion process of ESD evolves within this circular interplay of innovation and innovation system. A deeper understanding of it therefore has great potential for practitioners’ (self-) reflections and for further research projects.
ZOOGEOGRAPHY AND FAUNISTICS Posters and Abstracts:DENDROPHILOUS COCCOIDS (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA) OF THE WALNUT-FRUIT FOREST AREA OF KYRGYZSTAN

description: A study of dendrophilous coccoid fauna of the walnut-fruit forest area of southern Kyrgyzstan (the Fergana and Chatkal mountain ranges) was undertaken. Forty-five coccoid species were discovered belonging to 27 genera and 6 families: Diaspididae (9 genera, 18 species), Coccidae (9 genera, 15 species), Pseudococcidae (6 genera, 9 species) and Margarodidae, Eriococcidae and Ortheziidae (1 species each). The scale insect fauna contains 9 species which are basically from Central Asia (20%) and 14 species which are subendemic to the Iranian and Turanian regions (31%). The rest of the species are Mediterranean (7 spp., 16%), European (2 spp., 5%), Palaearctic (4 spp., 9%) and Holarctic (3 spp., 7%). The complex of accidental species includes 6 species (13.5%). These scale species could be referred to three groups: polyphagous - 24 species (53.3%), oligophagous - 18 species (40%) and monophagous - 3 species (6.7%). In addition, on the basis of their frequency and damage, 10 species were categorised as numerous, 21 species as moderately numerous and 14 species as rare or infrequent.

The most numerous and economically important species was Sphaerolecanium prunastri (Fonsc.), which caused extensive damage to the local alycha species (Prunus sogdiana Vass.). In these areas of Kyrgyzstan, biological control of the scale insect fauna is considered the most appropriate and promising method and such encyrtid parasitoids as Discodes coccophagus Ratz. and Microterys hortulanus Erd. play an important role in the control of S. prunastri.

description: Ein archäologisch-geographisches Kooperationsprojekt im Turano-Tal, nordöstlich von Rom, untersuchte die Landschafts- und Besiedlungsgeschichte. Die mächtigen Talverfüllungen des Untersuchungsgebietes, die in den letzten 5500 Jahren gebildet wurden, dokumentieren die Verzahnung von kolluvialen und fluvialen Sedimenten. Um 2200 BC zeigt sich eine deutliche Veränderung der fluvialen Systeme mit einer stetigen Zunahme der Sedimentmächtigkeiten. Die kumulierten 14C-Datierungen zeigen Intervalle verstärkter Sedimentverlagerung, die die historische Landnutzung sowie soziale Umbrüche widerspiegeln. Der archäologische Fokus der Untersuchung lag auf Zeugnissen der römischen Besiedlung. In diesem Zusammenhang ist ein römischer Tempel besonders bedeutungsvoll, der unter der Kirche auf dem Berg San Giovanni liegt und eine Zentralortfunktion auf das umgebende Tal ausübte. Zudem wurde eine Dokumentation zu einer bereits bekannten monumentalen Grabinschrift durchgeführt.

A joint project of archaeologists and geographers investigated the landscape development and settlement history of the Turano valley, NE of Rome. The valley fills in the area were deposited during the last 5500 years and show an interlocking of colluvial and fluvial sediments. From c. 2200 BC onwards a continuous increase in sediment thickness attests to modifications of the fluvial systems. The distribution of C-dates exhibits intervals of intense sediment dislocation representing changes in land use and society. Archaeological research focused on evidence of Roman settlement activities. In this context a Roman temple situated in the basement of the medieval church on Mount San Giovanni is of particular interest, as it served the surrounding valley as a central place. Additionally, an already known monumental grave inscription was documented.

description: Unambiguous and complete determination of the Fermi surface is a primary step in understanding the electronic properties of topical metals and semimetals, but only in a relatively few cases has this goal been realized. In this work, we present a systematic high-field quantum oscillation study up to 35 T on ZrSiS, a textbook example of a nodal-line semimetal with only linearly dispersive bands crossing the Fermi energy. The topology of the Fermi surface is determined with unprecedented precision and all pockets are identified by comparing the measured angle dependence of the quantum oscillations to density-functional-theory calculations. Comparison of the Shubnikov-de Haas and de Haas-van Alphen oscillations at low temperatures and analysis of the respective Dingle plots reveal the presence of significantly enhanced scattering on the electron pocket. Above a threshold field that is aligned along the c axis of the crystal, the specific cage like Fermi surface of ZrSiS allows for electron-hole tunneling to occur across finite gaps in momentum space, leading to quantum oscillations with a complex frequency spectrum. Additional high-frequency quantum oscillations signify magnetic breakdown orbits that encircle the entire Dirac nodal loop. We suggest that the persistence of quantum oscillations in the resistivity to high temperatures is caused by Stark interference between orbits of nearly equal masses.
title: The grammatical hierarchy of Malayan Cantonese.
Creators: name: Killingley, Siow Y.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1972

description: The present study attempts an over-all investigation into the grammar of Malayan Cantonese, using an adapted tagmemio model, taking the sentence as the highest unit and the Morpheme as the lowest unit. Chapter 1 discusses the tagmemio model and its adaptations for the present study. The language described in the thesis is defined and its scope delimited in Chapter 2. A phonological statement is given in Chapter 3 as the basis of the romanisatien formulated by the author and used in the present study. The phonological statement does not attempt to be mere than a justification for the romanisation and much more work can be done on the sound system of the language, especially on tone and intonation. In Chapter 4 the levels of analysis are discussed. Chapter 5 deals with the sentence level. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 are concerned with the clause level In Chapter 6, all the emic clause types except the passive clause types are presented and dealt with. In Chapter 7, the emic passive clause types are dealt with Chapter 8 is concerned with the etic variants of emic clause types through the optional expansion of clause types and the change in the order of tagments within clause types. Chapters 9 and 10 are concerned with the phrase and word levels respectively. Chapter 11 consists of lists of affixes and particles with examples of their usage. Chapter 12 consists of a text (a narrative) and a textual analysis of part of the text. Malayan Cantonese, in becoming a language of Malaya, has absorbed certain Malay loan-words and loan translations through contact between Cantonese and Malay speakers. There are no Tamil loan-words (except for names of food), because Tamil speakers speaking to monolingual Cantonese speakers would use some form of Basaar Malay. A short list of Malay loan-words is appended to the present work; this list is not meant to be exhaustive as it is probably increasing all the time. 1 See Chapter 2. 2 Bazaar Malay is a pidgin language used as a Lingua franca when interlocutors have no other common language, e.g., a monolingual Chinese speaking to a monolingual Indian.
Esports and the Spatial Legitimation of a Market
Creators: name: John, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2025

description: Prior work has explored how space and place can be utilised to change or
 disrupt a market, primarily focusing on how institutional actors create
 and make use of such spaces (e.g. Kellogg, 2009; Cartel et al., 2019;
 Furnari 2014). However, the role of space and place in
 institutionalisation remains somewhat under-explored (Lawrence &
 Dover, 2015; Wright et al., 2023). This thesis contributes to this area of
 research by exploring the role of space and place in the creation of a
 market and its impact on legitimation processes. Drawing on institutional
 theory as an enabling lens, the Esports market is used as the research
 context for this study. Competitive video game playing has grown
 exponentially over the past two decades to become an estimated $1.6
 billion industry (Mintel, 2023). Through semi-structured interviews and
 archival research, this thesis examines the legitimation stages of the
 Esports market and the various roles that offline and online spaces play
 in the legitimation process. The findings of this study highlight that
 space and place can have three key effects on the legitimation of the
 market: building, conferring, and constraining. Contributions to prior
 work are made by examining the role of space and place within the
 co-creation of a market (e.g. Giesler, 2008; Brandstad & Solem,
 2020), the mimicking and borrowing of established practices (e.g. DiMaggio
 & Powell, 1983; Kjellberg & Olson, 2017), and the role of
 governments in market growth (e.g. Koch & Ulver, 2022; Huff et
 al., 2021). The effect of these roles on the legitimation of a market is
 also explored. It is suggested that future research could build upon this
 work to assess the applicability of the findings to other markets.
title: The British community in occupied Cairo, 1882-1922.

description: Though officially ruled by the Ottoman Entire, Egypt was under British occupation between 1882 and 1922. Most studies about the British in Egypt during this time focus on the political and administrative activities of British officials based on government documents or their memoirs and biographies. This thesis focuses on various aspects of the British community in Cairo based on sources that have been previously overlooked such as census records, certain private papers, and business, newspaper, military and missionary archives. At the outset, this discussion introduces demographic data on the British community to establish its size, residential location and context among other foreign communities and the wider Egyptian society. Then it deliberates on the occasional ambiguous boundaries that identified members of the community from non-members as well as the symbols and institutions that united the community. Ensuing chapters on the community's socio-occupational diversity and criminal activities suggest that the British community in Cairo was not homogeneous. The community consisted of not only law-abiding upper middle class officials but of an assortment of businessmen, missionaries, and working-class maids and labourers; some of whom were involved in crimes and misdemeanours. The analysis concludes by investigating the diversity of reactions of Cairo's Britons to the challenge of World War I and the subsequent revolutionary period of 1919-1922. Due to time and space constraints, the discussion concentrates on the British community in Cairo, since for the most part, more Britons resided in Cairo than Alexandria. However, where appropriate to the thesis' key themes, data on the British in Alexandria will be included.

description: Social scientists have documented vast racial disparities in labor market outcomes such as hiring and firing decisions, compensation, and opportunities for occupational advancement. Yet little is known about the racial patterning of job displacement (permanent involuntary layoffs), a remarkably common labor market outcome. Using data from the Displaced Worker Survey, covering nearly four decades of displacements, 1981-2017, we provide the first systematic analysis of Black/white displacement disparities. We find that Black workers were nearly always more likely to be displaced than whites, but the Black/white disparity has grown over time, with excess Black displacement doubling for women and tripling for men since the 1990s. Additionally, during the 1990s, being Black replaced lacking a college degree as the better predictor of displacement. To evaluate whether these disparities are explained by compositional differences—i.e. whether Black workers were more likely to be employed in displacement-prone jobs than whites—we decompose Black-white displacement disparities by job characteristics including occupation, industry, and public vs. private sector, and indexes reflecting displacement risk and job quality. The results support arguments that the public sector has become less protective for Black workers, but generally provide scant evidence that compositional differences explain the rise of racial disparities in displacement.
