description: This dissertation is a reexamination of Sigmund Freud's mature drive theory, also known as his theory of the death drive, and its relevance for critical social theory, and in particular that of the so-called "Frankfurt school." By tracing the emergence of Freud's theory in his enigmatic Beyond the Pleasure Principle and then its development in the hands of Hans Loewald and Jacques Lacan, I aim, in the first three chapters, to articulate a drive theory centered around the opposition between what Freud calls the death drive and the drive to mastery, as well as the developmental hazards therein. In the last two chapters, I then attempt to integrate this drive theory into the Frankfurt school's analysis of the intrusion of mass media and state institutions on the developmental process with the aim of both providing historical weight to the dialectic of death and mastery articulated in the first part of the dissertation and also strengthening the psychological component of critical theory.
Adiabatic Quantum Algorithms for the NP-Complete MIS, Exact Cover and 3SAT Problems
Creators: name: Choi, Vicky
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The problem Hamiltonian of the adiabatic quantum algorithm for the maximum-weight independent set problem (MIS) that is based on the reduction to the Ising problem (as described in [Choi08]) has flexible parameters. We show that by choosing the parameters appropriately in the problem Hamiltonian (without changing the problem to be solved) for MIS on CK graphs, we can prevent the first order quantum phase transition and significantly change the minimum spectral gap. We raise the basic question about what the appropriate formulation of adiabatic running time should be. We also describe adiabatic quantum algorithms for Exact Cover and 3SAT in which the problem Hamiltonians are based on the reduction to MIS. We point out that the argument in Altshuler et al.(arXiv:0908.2782 [quant-ph]) that their adiabatic quantum algorithm failed with high probability for randomly generated instances of Exact Cover does not carry over to this new algorithm.

description: We prove that the heavy symmetric top (Lagrange, 1788) linearizes on a two-dimensional non-compact algebraic group -- the generalized Jacobian of an elliptic curve with two points identified. This leads to a transparent description of its complex and real invariant level sets. We also deduce, by making use of a Baker-Akhiezer function, simple explicit formulae for the general solution of Lagrange top.

description: Let E = F(v) be the ground-state eigenvalue of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian H = -Delta + vf(x), where the potential shape f(x) is symmetric and monotone increasing for x > 0, and the coupling parameter v is positive. If the 'kinetic potential' bar{f}(s) associated with f(x) is defined by the transformation: bar{f}(s) = F'(v), s = F(v)-vF'(v),then f can be reconstructed from F by the sequence: f^{[n+1]} = bar{f} o bar{f}^{[n]^{-1}} o f^{[n]}. Convergence is proved for special classes of potential shape; for other test cases it is demonstrated numerically. The seed potential shape f^{[0]} need not be 'close' to the limit f.

description: Anderson generating functions have received a growing attention in function field arithmetic in the last years. Despite their introduction by Anderson in the 80s where they were at the heart of comparison isomorphisms, further important applications e.g. to transcendence theory have only been discovered recently. The Anderson-Thakur special function interpolates L-values via Pellarin-type identities, and its values at algebraic elements recover Gauss-Thakur sums, as shown by Anglès and Pellarin. For Drinfeld-Hayes modules, generalizations of Anderson generating functions have been introduced by Green-Papanikolas and -- under the name of `special functions' -- by Anglès-Ngo Dac-Tavares Ribeiro. In this article, we provide a general construction of special functions attached to any Anderson A-module. We show direct links of the space of special functions to the period lattice, and to the Betti cohomology of the A-motive. We also undertake the study of Gauss-Thakur sums for Anderson A-modules, and show that the result of Anglès-Pellarin relating values of the special functions to Gauss-Thakur sums holds in this generality.

description: Despite progress in reducing rates of early marriage, it is still a widespread practice in India accounting for 30 per cent of the world’s early marriages. Understanding its impacts is thus of high importance to global gender equality goals. This article examines the impact of early marriage on multi-dimensional aspects of well-being: life satisfaction, subjectively assessed health and educational attainment. Difference-in-differences analysis with propensity score matching examines causal effects using Young Lives Study data. The analysis shows women who married early experience a trajectory of lower life satisfaction which is in evidence before marriage, even at age 12, persisting until the latest survey at age 22. There is no evidence of a causal negative effect of early marriage on life satisfaction; the relationship is more complicated, linked to trajectories of deprivation which commence from a very young age. In contrast, early marriage negatively affects women’s self-reported health and educational attainment by age 22.

description: Allantus lateralis Mocsáry, 1909
A senior objective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredo) calvaria Enslin, 1912.
TYPES. Allantus lateralis Mocsáry, 1909: 25 –26. Syntype (s) Ƥ, “Sibiria orientalis: Ussuri (Kasakewitsh)”. Secondary homonym of Tenthredo lateralis Mocsáry, 1909 [= Tenthredo (Tenthredella) contusa (Enslin, 1912)]. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated (Fig. 25). Type locality: “Ussuri Kasakewitsch” [= Russia: Khabarovskiy Kray: Kazakevichevo].
= Tenthredo calvaria Enslin, 1912b: 104. Replacement name for Allantus lateralis Mocsáry, 1909.
DISCUSSION. Taeger (1988b) mentioned the “ holotype ” of the taxon, but the original status of the only available type was syntype. The specimen is hereby designated as lectotype (Fig. 25). The species belongs to the T. arcuata complex. The validity of the taxa of the complex needs further investigation. Tenthredo calvaria currently seems to be well defined by colouration (Taeger 1988b). Unpublished COI sequence data show a rather weak separation of calvaria from European taxa. On the other hand, nearly all taxa of the T. arcuata complex fall in the same barcoding cluster as the examined calvaria specimens (Barcode Index Number: BOLD:AAD3089). Further studies are needed to confirm the validity of the species.

description: We propose a new method to estimate a repeat-sales house price index. Our unbalanced panel method employs an OLS panel regression to estimate the (log) house price as a function of time fixed effects and house-specific fixed effects. Comparisons are made across three repeat-sales methods using actual data, and using simulated data with both stationary and non-stationary relative price innovations. The unbalanced panel method comprehensively utilises all sale information on a house rather than splitting sales into distinct pairs. It is the simplest of the methods to implement, and possesses superior properties to the other two methods under a wide range of data generation processes.

description: Mathematically, the execution of an American-style financial derivative is commonly reduced to solving an optimal stopping problem. Breaking the general assumption that the knowledge of the holder is restricted to the price history of the underlying asset, we allow for the disclosure of future information about the terminal price of the asset by modeling it as a Brownian bridge. This model may be used under special market conditions, in particular we focus on what in the literature is known as the "pinning effect", that is, when the price of the asset approaches the strike price of a highly-traded option close to its expiration date. Our main mathematical contribution is in characterizing the solution to the optimal stopping problem when the gain function includes the discount factor. We show how to numerically compute the solution and we analyze the effect of the volatility estimation on the strategy by computing the confidence curves around the optimal stopping boundary. Finally, we compare our method with the optimal exercise time based on a geometric Brownian motion by using real data exhibiting pinning.

description: Background: Young adults have elevated risk for negative marijuana use-related outcomes, and there is heterogeneity among users. Identifying risk factors for marijuana user status will improve understanding of different populations of users, which may inform prediction of individuals most likely to experience negative outcomes. Objectives: To identify predictors of marijuana use initiation in young adults. We simultaneously examined a broad range of potential predictors and all their possible interactions, including constructs that have not been previously studied in substance use initiation research. Methods: Data were repeated cross-sectional survey responses from college students in Colorado (N = 4052, 77% White, 61% female, mean age = 22.77). Measures came from the National College Health Assessment, which assesses numerous health and behavioral constructs. We used recursive partitioning and random forest models to identify predictors of ever having used marijuana out of 206 variables. Results: Classification trees identified engagement in increased alcohol use and sexual behavior as salient correlates of marijuana use initiation. Parsimonious recursive partitioning trees explained a substantial amount of variability in marijuana user status (39% in the full model and 24% when alcohol variables were excluded). Random forest models predicted user status with 74.11% and 66.91% accuracy in the full model and when alcohol variables were excluded, respectively. Conclusions: Results support the use of exploratory analyses to explain heterogeneity among marijuana users and non-users. Since engagement in other health-risk behaviors were salient predictors of use initiation, prevention efforts to reduce harm from marijuana use may benefit from targeting risk factors for health-risk behaviors in general.

description: The 1990s saw a significant sell-off of state houses in New Zealand, while the 2000s saw a material rebuilding of the state house inventory. We provide in-depth documentation of a rich spatially-defined dataset of the stock, acquisition and disposal of New Zealand’s state houses since the early 1990s. The paper examines the dataset’s reliability and outlines major national and regional state housing trends since 1993. We detail the levels and changes in density of state housing in New Zealand’s major urban areas, and relate these measures to the areas’ deprivation status. The richness and completeness of the dataset, and the fact that it covers two distinct policy periods (driven primarily by exogenous political preferences), means that it can provide a strong basis for detailed studies on the societal and individual impacts of homeownership and related matters. We discuss future research possibilities that utilise this dataset.
Condensates in Quantum Chromodynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper presents the short review of our to-day knowledge of vacuum condensates in QCD. The condensates are defined as vacuum averages of the operators which arise due to nonperturbative effects. The important role of condensates in determination of physical properties of hadrons and of their low-energy interactions in QCD is underlined. The special value of quark condensate, connected with the existence of baryon masses is mentioned. Vacuum condensates induced by external fields are discussed. QCD at low energy is checked on the basis of the data on hadronic tau-decay. In the theoretical analysis the terms of perturbation theory (PT) up to alpha^3_s are accounted, in the operator product expansion (OPE) - those up to dimension 8. The total probability of the decay tau->hadrons (with zero strangeness) and of the tau-decay structure functions are best described at alpha_s(m^2_tau) = 0.330+-0.025. It is shown that the Borel sum rules for tau-decay structure functions along the rays in the q^2-complex plane are in agreement with the experiment with the accuracy ~2% at the values of the Borel parameter |M^2|> 0.8 GeV^2. The magnitudes of dimensions 6 and 8 condensates were found and the limitations on gluonic condensates were obtained. The sum rules for the charmed quark vector currents polarization operator was analysed in 3 loops (i.e., in order alpha^2_s). The value of charmed quark mass (in MS-bar regularization scheme) was found to be: m_c(m_c) = 1.275+-0.015 GeV and the value of gluonic condensate was estimated: = 0.009+-0.007 GeV^4. The general conclusion is: QCD described by PT + OPE is in a good agreement with experiment at Q^2 >~ 1 GeV^2.

description: This paper analyses whether living in a locality with high crime against women affects the probability of early marriage—that is, marriage before the legal age of marriage of girls. Using a nationally representative longitudinal data set and tackling the potential endogeneity of local crime rates, we find that perceived crime against women in the locality significantly increases the likelihood of early marriage of girls, while there is no such effect on boys of comparable age group. We also find no such effect of gender-neutral crimes (such as theft and robbery) on the likelihood of early marriage of girls. Moreover, we find that the relationship holds only in conservative households where the purdah system is practised, and also in the northern region of India, where patriarchal culture and gender norms are stronger than in the southern region. A sensitivity analysis assessing the potential impact of unobservable confounders suggests that our estimates are unlikely to be affected by omitted variable bias.

description: This cross-sectional mixed-method study with a small sample of 62 mothers of children with asthma is a pilot evaluating a new brief online e-health intervention: The Asthma Knowledge Test for Parents (TAKT-40), with all true answers. The TAKT-40 was highly recommended (77.4%) by mothers to others parents with children with asthma. The sample had a mean number of children of 2.31, a mean age of 39.13, with 66.1% (n= 41) White, 24.2% Black, and 9.7% (n=6) Hispanic—with 88.7% living with a partner (n=55). The mean level of education was between Some College and Master’s degrees, with 61.3% employed (n=38) and a mean annual household income for between $100,000 and $199,999. The mean age for children was 9.06, with a mean of 7.51 years since the asthma diagnosis, with 98.4% (n=61) prescribed medication, and 80.6% (n=50) currently taking it. Suggestive of the TAKT-40 being a potential brief online intervention of value, paired t--tests showed: mother’s self-ratings for level of knowledge were higher after they had taken the TAKT-40 with all true answers when compared to self-ratings of knowledge before taking it; and, mother’s self-efficacy for taking care of their child with asthma and helping their child achieve asthma control was higher after they had taken the TAKT-40 when compared to self-ratings after taking it. While controlling for social desirability, backwards stepwise regression showed (1) a higher asthma knowledge (on the TAKT-40), was significantly predicted by: Higher annual household income; Lower number of children; Greater extent of negative impacts from asthma on child, parent, and family—30.0% of the variance predicted with this model. Secondly, backwards stepwise regression found (2) a high asthma self-efficacy (on the Scale 2-Asthma Self-efficacy) for the three key behaviors was significantly predicted by: Fewer Barriers to Child’s Health Care—with 60.0% of variance being predicted. Qualitative data supplemented the quantitative findings, supporting the resultant implications and recommendations.

description: Versatile polyelectrolytes with tunable physical properties have the potential to be transformative in applications ranging from medicine to energy storage. To expand the design space for innovative cationic polymeric materials, I describe herein the development of a new class of functional polyelectrolyte based on the aromatic trisaminocyclopropenium (TAC) ion. The facile synthesis of a series of cyclopropeniumbased macromolecules via either the direct polymerization of functional monomers or a post-polymerization click reaction is demonstrated. To probe fundamental structureproperty relationships and understand technological implications of cyclopropenium polymers, a variety of materials were evaluated as gene delivery agents for cellular transfection and as ion conducting membranes. It was found that certain cyclopropenium polymers are biocompatible and efficient transfection agents, and that post polymerization functionalization chemistry enabled the straightforward screening of polymeric TAC derivatives. Furthermore, the thermal properties, local morphology, and dielectric response of a series of monomeric and polymeric TAC ionic liquids with different counter ions were characterized. It was found that the mechanism for ion transport depends on the nature of the ion pair, which can promote anomalously high conductivity at the calorimetric glass transition temperature. Finally, the synthesis of a new class of polyelectrolyte based on the cyclopentadienyl aromatic anion is described.

description: Quantifying coherence and entanglement is extremely important in quantum information processing. Here, we present numerical and analytical results for the geometric measure of coherence, and also present numerical results for the geometric measure of entanglement. On the one hand, we first provide a semidefinite algorithm to numerically calculate geometric measure of coherence for arbitrary finite-dimensional mixed states. Based on this semidefinite algorithm, we test randomly generated single-qubit states, single-qutrit states, and a special kind of $d$-dimensional mixed states. Moreover, we also obtain an analytical solution of geometric measure of coherence for a special kind of mixed states. On the other hand, another algorithm is proposed to calculate the geometric measure of entanglement for arbitrary two-qubit and qubit-qutrit states, and some special kinds of higher dimensional mixed states. For other states, the algorithm can get a lower bound of the geometric measure of entanglement. Randomly generated two-qubit states, the isotropic states and the Werner states are tested. Furthermore, we compare our numerical results with some analytical results, which coincide with each other.

The result presented is a deployment model with consolidated strategies for AFD implementation.

description: Deep fundamental factor models are developed to automatically capture non-linearity and interaction effects in factor modeling. Uncertainty quantification provides interpretability with interval estimation, ranking of factor importances and estimation of interaction effects. With no hidden layers we recover a linear factor model and for one or more hidden layers, uncertainty bands for the sensitivity to each input naturally arise from the network weights. Using 3290 assets in the Russell 1000 index over a period of December 1989 to January 2018, we assess a 49 factor model and generate information ratios that are approximately 1.5x greater than the OLS factor model. Furthermore, we compare our deep fundamental factor model with a quadratic LASSO model and demonstrate the superior performance and robustness to outliers. The Python source code and the data used for this study are provided.

Nonleptonic B decays into a charmed tensor meson

description: In the framework of the factorization and the heavy quark effective theory, $B\to D_2^*π$ modes are analyzed. We adopt the result from the QCD sum rule calculation for the hadronic matrix elements at leading order of $Λ_{\rm QCD}/m_Q$ and $α_s$. The QCD sum rule results are well compatible with the current data, with the prediction on the branching ratios $\calB(\Bbar^0\to D_2^{*+}π^-)=8.94\times 10^{-4}$ and $\calB(B^-\to D_2^{*0}π^-)=9.53\times 10^{-4}$ for $N_C^{\rm eff}=2$. We give constraints on the interception $τ(1)$ and the slope parameter $ρ^2$ of the leading Isgur-Wise function from the experimental bounds. It is argued that the observation of nonzero $\calB(\Bbar^0\to D_2^{*0}π^0)$ directly measures the nonfactorizable effets.

Accurate and decoherence-protected adiabatic quantum computation
Creators: name: Lidar, Daniel
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In the closed system setting I will show how to obtain extremely accurate adiabatic QC by proper choice of the interpolation between the initial and final Hamiltonians. Namely, given an analytic interpolation whose first N initial and final time derivatives vanish, the error can be made to be smaller than 1/N^N, with an evolution time which scales as N and the square of the norm of the time-derivative of the Hamiltonian, divided by the cube of the gap (joint work with Ali Rezakhani and Alioscia Hamma). In the open system setting I will describe a method for protecting adiabatic QC by use of a hybrid encoding-dynamical decoupling scheme. This strategy can be used to protect spin-based universal adiabatic QC against arbitrary 1-local noise using only global magnetic fields. By combining error bounds for the closed and open system settings, I will show that in principle the method is scalable to arbitrarily large computations.

description: Assuming that an individual’s rank in the wealth distribution is the only factor determining the individual’s wellbeing, we analyze the individual’s risk preferences in relation to gaining or losing rank, rather than the individual’s risk preferences towards gaining or losing absolute wealth. We show that in this characterization of preferences, a high-ranked individual is more willing than a low-ranked individual to take risks that can provide him with a rise in rank: relative risk aversion with respect to rank in the wealth distribution is a decreasing function of rank. This result is robust to incorporating (the level of) absolute wealth in the individual’s utility function.
title: Divorce, domestic violence, and help seeking
Creators: name: Pisanelli, Elena
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze economiche
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the impact of the 2014 Italian divorce law on help-seeking behavior of domestic violence victims and femicides. I find that contrary to expectations, the reform, which aimed to make divorce cheaper while requiring mutual consent, led to a decrease in help-seeking behavior among intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors and an increase in femicides perpetrated by husbands. These findings suggest that while reducing the cost of divorce may empower individuals to leave abusive relationships, the requirement for mutual consent may inadvertently escalate violence as husbands seek to assert control and prevent separation. The study underscores the importance of considering the unintended consequences of divorce legislation and prioritizing the safety of IPV survivors in family policy interventions.
A Bilinear Approach to Discrete Miura Transformations

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: We present a systematic approach to the construction of Miura transformations for discrete Painlevé equations. Our method is based on the bilinear formalism and we start with the expression of the nonlinear discrete equation in terms of $τ$-functions. Elimination of $τ$-functions from the resulting system leads to another nonlinear equation, which is a ``modified'' version of the original equation. The procedure therefore yields Miura transformations. In this letter, we illustrate this approach by reproducing previously known Miura transformations and constructing new ones.

COMIC-BASED DIGITAL STORYTELLING The use of digital storytelling in forms of comics for reflecting on situations involving conflicts
Creators: name: Rutta, Carolina Beniamina
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents three case studies in which comic-based digital storytelling is adopted as a means to support the reflection on particular situations involving conflicts. The potential of digital storytelling combined with the comic?s genre has been identified in previous works. Anyway, there is a need of empirical evidence on the advantages and disadvantages on which this approach can be based. Moreover, in most of the research, it has to be noted that digital comics have been identified, in the majority of the research, as a medium to access content, not to create them. Consequently, this thesis contributes to the investigation of employing digital storytelling based on comics informed by previous practices to narratives? use. Therefore, the case studies are conducted to deeply explore how comic-based digital storytelling can support the reflection of significant troubling experiences. Quantitative and qualitative methods, related to both the user experience and the comics? construction, are used, which show the benefits and drawbacks when adopting digital torytelling in the form of comics. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of this approach are described in the conclusion. As a matter of fact, in the conclusion, we report a final reflection on the engagement, stakeholder involvement, collaboration, technology, comics, and reflection concepts while considering possible future works on the research topic.

Deformed SPDE models with an application to spatial modeling of significant wave height

description: A non-stationary Gaussian random field model is developed based on a combination of the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approach and the classical deformation method. With the deformation method, a stationary field is defined on a domain which is deformed so that the field becomes non-stationary. We show that if the stationary field is a Mat'ern field defined as a solution to a fractional SPDE, the resulting non-stationary model can be represented as the solution to another fractional SPDE on the deformed domain. By defining the model in this way, the computational advantages of the SPDE approach can be combined with the deformation method's more intuitive parameterisation of non-stationarity. In particular it allows for independent control over the non-stationary practical correlation range and the variance, which has not been possible with previously proposed non-stationary SPDE models. The model is tested on spatial data of significant wave height, a characteristic of ocean surface conditions which is important when estimating the wear and risks associated with a planned journey of a ship. The model parameters are estimated to data from the north Atlantic using a maximum likelihood approach. The fitted model is used to compute wave height exceedance probabilities and the distribution of accumulated fatigue damage for ships traveling a popular shipping route. The model results agree well with the data, indicating that the model could be used for route optimization in naval logistics.
