description: The existence of quantum non-liquid states and fracton orders, both gapped and gapless states, challenges our understanding of phases of entangled matter. We generalize the cellular topological states to liquid or non-liquid cellular states. We propose a mechanism to construct more general non-abelian states by gluing gauge-symmetry-breaking vs gauge-symmetry-extension interfaces as extended defects in a cellular network, including defects of higher-symmetries, in any dimension. Our approach also naturally incorporates the anyonic particle/string condensations and composite string (related to particle-string or p-string)/membrane condensations. This approach shows gluing the familiar extended topological quantum field theory or conformal field theory data via topology, geometry, and renormalization consistency criteria (via certain modified group cohomology or cobordism theory data) in a tensor network can still guide us to analyze the non-liquid states. (Part of the abelian construction can be understood from the K-matrix Chern-Simons theory approach and the coupled-layer-by-junction constructions.) This approach may also lead us toward a unifying framework for quantum systems of both higher-symmetries and sub-system/sub-dimensional symmetries.

description: In this paper we present a large dataset with a variety of mobile mapping sensors collected using a handheld device carried at typical walking speeds for nearly 2.2 km through New College, Oxford. The dataset includes data from two commercially available devices - a stereoscopic-inertial camera and a multi-beam 3D LiDAR, which also provides inertial measurements. Additionally, we used a tripod-mounted survey grade LiDAR scanner to capture a detailed millimeter-accurate 3D map of the test location (containing $\sim$290 million points). Using the map we inferred centimeter-accurate 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) ground truth for the position of the device for each LiDAR scan to enable better evaluation of LiDAR and vision localisation, mapping and reconstruction systems. This ground truth is the particular novel contribution of this dataset and we believe that it will enable systematic evaluation which many similar datasets have lacked. The dataset combines both built environments, open spaces and vegetated areas so as to test localization and mapping systems such as vision-based navigation, visual and LiDAR SLAM, 3D LIDAR reconstruction and appearance-based place recognition. The dataset is available at: ori.ox.ac.uk/datasets/newer-college-dataset

Absence of the Higuchi bound in a family of alternative linear massive spin-2 models

description: There is a well known result from the Fierz-Pauli (FP) theory in de Sitter background that is the existence of a lower bound for the mass $m$ of the spin 2 particle, the Higuchi bound. It establishes that $m^2\geq 2H^2$, where $H$ is the Hubble parameter, in order to the theory presents no ghost-like instabilities. In this sense, $m$ should be unacceptable high in order to fulfill this condition at the time of the inflationary epoch of the Universe, posing a difficulty to conciliate the FP theory with cosmology. In this letter we show that the Higuchi bound can be circumvented in an alternative description of massive spin-2 particles known as $\mathcal{L}(a_1)$ models. In maximally symmetric spaces the theory has two free parameters which can be consistently chosen in order to make the model absent of a lower bound for $m$. Then, $m$ can be arbitrarily smaller than the energy scale of inflation avoiding instabilities at that time.

description: Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um eine Untersuchung von Gründen der Ablehnung gegenüber der römisch-katholischen Kirche seitens vorwiegend ehemaliger Mitglieder, die nun AnhängerInnen einer der drei genannten neuen religiösen Bewegungen indischen Ursprungs sind. Es wurden hierfür zunächst die Geschichte und Lehre der Bewegungen beschrieben. Für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage stellte auch ein großer Teil die teilnehmende Beobachtung dar. Neben der lokalen Geschichte der Gemeinschaften in Österreich mit Fokus auf Wien, wurde das vor Ort generierte Wissen beschrieben. Es wurden zahlreiche Eindrücke und Abläufe der gemeinschaftlichen Treffen festgehalten. Für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurden Interviews durchgeführt. So nahmen die Befragten, die größtenteils bereits als Kind eine Religiosität ausgeübt hätten, entweder aufgrund von Ablehnung der Kirchensteuer, oder aufgrund von bestimmten Ereignissen, wie Straftaten seitens des Kirchenpersonals, Abstand von der Institution. Bei den genannten Ereignissen handelte es sich meist um Missbrauchsfälle, um gesellschaftlichen oder sozialen Zwang, sowie um fehlende Menschlichkeit. Diese Tatsachen wurden oft auf die vorgeworfene Abänderung der ursprünglichen Lehre Jesu aufgrund der Form der Institution geschoben. Des Weiteren stellt die als fehlend empfundene Spiritualität bei Veranstaltungen der römisch-katholischen Kirche einen wichtigen Punkt in der Analyse der Interviewauswertung dar. Es wurden von mehreren Faktoren, die einen besonderen Gefallen darstellen, erzählt. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen Teil zur Erforschung von Personen, die ein Bedürfnis nach Religiosität haben (und dies im neu- bzw. alternativreligiösen Bereich finden), aber von der Religion ihrer Eltern (vorwiegend große religiöse Institutionen) Abstand nehmen, sowie von den konkreten Austrittsgründen seitens Mitgliedern der römisch-katholischen Kirche, beitragen. --- [Printversion: CD-Beilage]

Youth Intolerance of Uncertainty - Parent-Report (Yiu-Pr): A developmentally sensitive measure of intolerance of uncertainty in children

subject: Child and adolescent development

description: Although intolerance of uncertainty (IU) has been proposed as a transdiagnostic feature of anxiety, there has been little consensus on its definition and its subcomponents – especially in youth. We report on the development and initial validation of the Youth Intolerance of Uncertainty – Parent-report (YIU-PR), a developmentally sensitive, parent-report measure of IU. Also, we explored age as a possible moderator of the relationship between IU and symptoms of OCD and anxiety disorders. Caregivers (N = 731, 61.7% female, 73.2% non-Hispanic White) with children between 6 and 17 years old were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk and reported on their child’s IU and anxiety. An exploratory factor analysis of YIU-PR items yielded 4 subscales: Difficulty Tolerating Waiting Periods (α = .90), Doubting and Reassurance Seeking (α = .90), Overestimation of Negative Events (α = .92), and Physical and Behavioral Responses (α = .87). The 26-item YIU-PR demonstrated excellent internal consistency overall (α = .96) as well as concurrent and discriminant validity. The YIU-PR significantly predicted separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the full sample and generalized anxiety and social anxiety in the clinical subsample. Age did not moderate the relationship between the YIU-PR and anxiety symptoms. Results provide preliminary support for the use of the YIU-PR to measure youth intolerance of uncertainty in clinical and nonclinical settings.

Rebelling against the Rebellion: Explaining the magnitude of insurgent group disintegration
Creators: name: Shabbir, Mashal
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this project, I define disintegration as the loss of personnel experienced by an insurgent group. Existing scholarly literature has tended to equate disintegration with splintering or splits. However, there are many ways in which insurgent groups break apart, ranging from no disintegration to large-scale splits. In this dissertation project, I develop a novel theoretical framework centered around the unexplored role of intra-group leaders within insurgent groups to explain variation in the outcome. I posit that preference divergence and intra-group leader capacity are jointly sufficient for the occurrence of disintegration, and the form of disintegration is determined by variation in leader capacity. I test the predictions of this project’s theoretical framework by implementing a crisp-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA) on a dataset with data on 102 intra-group leaders in 29 insurgent groups. The findings lend support to the project’s emphasis on intragroup leader’s capacity as a key determinant of the form of insurgent group disintegration. Another contribution of this project is an alternative conceptualization of fragmentation to remedy two major analytic drawbacks in how fragmentation is conceptualized in the literature. I draw on institutional theory to develop a resilience-fragmentation model based on this alternative conceptualization. I demonstrate the utility of this model by applying it to the Taliban during the Afghanistan War (2001-2021). Finally, this project’s outcome, the magnitude of disintegration, was developed by examining the trajectories of 153 intra-group leaders in 46 insurgent groups. The raw values show that there are nine discrete ways in which intra-group disputes can play out. Therefore, I contribute to the literature by presenting a multichotomous operationalization of disintegration instead of a dichotomous operationalization which condenses these diverse outcomes into a binary, the occurrence or non-occurrence of splintering. Understanding how and why insurgent groups disintegrate is critical for waging war and peace. This dissertation project’s focus on intra-group dynamics demonstrates the limits of external factors for explaining insurgent group disintegration. It highlights the internal sources of vulnerability and resilience for insurgent groups by focusing on intra-group leader capacity and identifies causal pathways through which groups stay resilient or disintegrate.

description: In a representative democracy, some decide in the name of the rest, and these elected officials are commonly gathered in public assemblies, such as parliaments, where they discuss policies, legislate, and vote on fundamental initiatives. A core aspect of such democratic processes are the plenary debates, where important public discussions take place. Many parliaments around the world are increasingly keeping the transcripts of such debates, and other parliamentary data, in digital formats accessible to the public, increasing transparency and accountability. Furthermore, some parliaments are bringing old paper transcripts to semi-structured digital formats. However, these records are often only provided as raw text or even as images, with little to no annotation, and inconsistent formats, making them difficult to analyze and study, reducing both transparency and public reach. Here, we present PTPARL-D, an annotated corpus of debates in the Portuguese Parliament, from 1976 to 2019, covering the entire period of Portuguese democracy.

description: Suppose that a linear bounded operator $B$ on a Hilbert space exhibits at least linear GMRES convergence, i.e., there exists $M_B<1$ such that the GMRES residuals fulfill $\|r_k\|\leq M_B\|r_{k-1}\|$ for every initial residual $r_0$ and step $k\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that GMRES with a compactly perturbed operator $A=B+C$ admits the bound $\|r_k\|/\|r_0\|\leq\prod_{j=1}^k\bigl(M_B+(1+M_B)\,\|A^{-1}\|\,σ_j(C)\bigr)$, i.e., the singular values $σ_j(C)$ control the departure from the bound for the unperturbed problem. This result can be seen as an extension of [I. Moret, A note on the superlinear convergence of GMRES, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 34 (1997), pp. 513-516, https://doi.org/10.1137/S0036142993259792], where only the case $B=λI$ is considered. In this special case $M_B=0$ and the resulting convergence is superlinear.

Creators: name: Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Laura

description: Wie man den Subjunktivmodus im Spanischen als Fremdsprache im Klassenzimmer unterrichtet, löst Diskussionen aus. Er unterscheidet sich stark vom deutschen Konjunktiv und stellt zudem Probleme im österreichischen Schulkontext dar. Es ist nicht nur kompliziert, einen Vergleich zwischen den beiden herzustellen, sondern auch, einen einzigen Wert für den Subjunktiv zu finden, wie z. B. der Modus der Nebensätze oder der Nicht-Erklärung, wie es einheitliche Theorien tun. Polyfunktionale Theorien sind jedoch auch umstritten, da sie entweder zu umfangreich oder mehrdeutig sind, um auch auf den Indikativmodus verweisen zu können. Der Subjunktiv Präsens und der Imperativ werden oft im österreichischen Klassenzimmer auf viele Schritte verteilt unterrichtet, obwohl beide ähnlich sind. So wird zunächst der affirmative Imperativ vermittelt, dann der negative Imperativ und schließlich der vorliegende Subjunktiv. Diese Arbeit versucht eine Antwort darauf zu geben, wie man den Unterricht dieser beiden Modi im österreichischen Klassenzimmer effektiv und effizient angeht. Den Schülern soll geholfen werden, den Subjunktiv nicht als Problem der spanischen Sprache zu verstehen. Zu diesem Zweck analysieren wir nicht nur die verschiedenen Positionen, die Sprachwissenschaftler gegenüber dem Subjunktiv und Imperativ einnehmen, sondern auch die didaktischen Positionen des allgemeinen Grammatikunterrichts. Die Arbeit setzt sich speziell mit dem österreichischen Kontext auseinander. Es werden die im österreichischen Unterricht verwendeten Lehrbücher analysiert und eine empirische Studie an verschiedenen Schulen durchgeführt, um zu sehen, welche Wahrnehmungen die Schüler von diesem Modi haben. Der didaktische Vorschlag beinhaltet die Lehre der beiden Modi, wobei gleichzeitig sowohl ihre Formen als auch ihre pragmatisch-diskursiven Bedeutungen betont werden. Darüber hinaus verwendet der Vorschlag induktive Methoden, kontrolliertes und freies Training sowie Bilder in Form eines Comics. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das gleichzeitige Erlernen dieser beiden Modi Vorteile mit sich bringt. So lernen die Schüler zwei grammatikalische Regeln gleichzeitig und betrachten den Subjunktiv von Beginn her als etwas Selbstverständliches. Es sollte jedoch eine empirische Studie durchgeführt werden, die diesen Vorschlag in der Praxis verifiziert, um herauszufinden, ob die Ergebnisse optimal sind.

Criminalization of femicide in Mexico and Colombia: A comparative analysis of legislative and symbolic approaches
Creators: name: Martinez-Villalba, Lucas
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 440209
subject: Gender and crime

description: The following dissertation analyses the legislative process that led to the criminalization of femicide in Latin America, particularly in Mexico and Colombia, as a tool to address the situation of violence, discrimination, and oppression against women. Ten years after the introduction of femicide as a standalone crime in Mexico and seven years after its introduction in Colombia, there is little perceivable change in the reduction of violence against women rates that these criminal reforms were set to resolve. Moreover, the judicial apparatus has achieved an almost intangible transformation in the adoption of gender perspective techniques and practices in criminal procedure. In order to fully comprehend the dimensions of the femicide criminal reform effort, this dissertation begins by revisiting the feminist theory that progressively set the stage for the discussion of violence against women as a human rights issue. It then describes the legislative process in both countries that led to the criminalization of femicide and interprets the key elements in these reforms from criminal law theory. This dissertation then provides the statistical findings by States and independent organizations that study how the introduction of femicide has impacted violence against women rates. In addition, the criminalization of femicide in both Mexico and Colombia serves a symbolic purpose designed to raise awareness of the complexity and urgency of gender-based violence. Thus, the purpose behind the law is not limited to deterring the crime, but instead aims to highlight the broader discrimination against and subordination of women within society. Therefore, this dissertation also evaluates whether and how the criminalization of femicide has adequately addressed those issues by looking at: the policies enacted by the State, the changes made in its institutions, and the adoption of a gender perspective agenda; and sets forth recommendations for a comprehensive approach on the issue of violence, discrimination, and oppression of women.

title: Eine Analyse zu Globalisierungs- und Polarisierungstendenzen in mittelgroßen japanischen Städten
Creators: name: Ertl, Lisa Carina
Year: 2018

description: Ziel der, hier vorliegenden Arbeit, ist eine kontextuelle Auseinandersetzung mit den beiden japanischen Regionalzentren Sapporo und Fukuoka. Da mittelgroße Städte in der Weltstadtforschung bis heute weitestgehend unbeachtet blieben – Rankings zu Weltstädten jedoch mittlerweile auch Städte umfassen, die nicht unbedingt als „global cities“ im herkömmlichen Sinne verstanden werden können – erscheint es wesentlich, den Blick in Richtung jener wachsenden Städte zu richten, die die Bedeutung der nationalen Grenzen überschreiten. Da beide Regionalzentren zumindest im japanischen Kontext bereits einen wesentlichen Stellenwert einnehmen und sich politische Initiativen um eine Internationalisierung der jeweiligen Stadt bemühen, erscheint es wesentlich einen anfänglichen Beitrag zu dieser Problematik zu leisten und insofern festzustellen, welches Potenzial und welche „Gefahren“ – im Sinne einer verstärkten sozialen Polarisierung – mittelgroße Städte in Japan im Kontext der verstärkten Globalisierungs- und Internationalisierungsprozesse aufweisen. Insofern widmet sich diese Arbeit der Frage, ob Sapporo und Fukuoka von eventuellen Globalisierungsprozessen – sowohl ökonomischer, als auch sozialer und politischer Art – betroffen sind oder ob sie sich den anderen hauptsächlich schrumpfenden Städten und Regionen Japans zukünftig angleichen werden.
description: The aim of this work is a contextual exploration of the two Japanese regional centers Sapporo and Fukuoka. As medium-sized cities have to date largely gone unnoticed in the metropolitan research – though rankings on world cities now include cities that can not necessarily be understood as “global cities” in the conventional sense – it seems essential to focus on growing cities that already exceed the meaning of their national borders. Since both regional centers already play a significant role – at least in the Japanese context – and political initiatives seek to internationalize these cities, it seems crucial to make an initial contribution to this problem and to determine the potential and the “dangers” – in the sense of an increased social polarization – of middle-sized cities in Japan in the context of increased globalization and internationalization processes. In this respect, this work addresses the question whether Sapporo and Fukuoka are affected by any globalization processes – economic, social as well as political – or whether they will align themselves with the other mainly shrinking cities and regions of Japan in the future.

description: We present an approach to classify user validity in survey responses by using a machine learning techniques. The approach is based on collecting user mouse activity on web-surveys and fast predicting validity of the survey in general without analysis of specific answers. Rule based approach, LSTM and HMM models are considered. The approach might be used in web-survey applications to detect suspicious users behaviour and request from them proper answering instead of false data recording.

description: This dissertation examines the relationships between ethnolinguistic diversity, civil conflict, and economic development. The first chapter examines the relationship between regional ethnolinguistic diversity and conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa. We use census subsamples and large-scale household surveys to construct a new subnational-level dataset on ethnic inequality capturing group-level differences in education, asset ownership, and access to basic amenities, covering several hundred regions in thirty-five countries. We distinguish between deep-rooted and contemporary cleavages by incorporating ethnolinguistic groups from our sample into Ethnologue’s linguistic tree model and constructing multiple diversity measures at the level of ancestral language families. Our analysis, based on within-country variation and accounting for numerous regional characteristics, shows that there is no robust pattern linking ethnic inequality to conflict frequency or severity. In contrast, there is a clear positive relationship between ethnolinguistic fractionalization and conflict, and it is generally stronger for metrics based on deep-rooted cleavages. The second chapter measures local ethnolinguistic diversity in Sub-Saharan Africa using Hill numbers. We measure three types of Hill numbers – (i) ordinary Hill numbers that account for the shares of different groups in the regional population, (ii) functional Hill numbers that incorporate the linguistic distances between each pair of groups in a region, and (iii) phylogenetic Hill numbers that incorporate language tree information to reflect lineage diversity in a region. Phylogenetic Hill numbers and ordinary Hill numbers that reflect deep-rooted diversity are associated with worse education and health outcomes. The third chapter investigates the role of a civil conflict on internal migration in Nepal. We use household surveys and censuses between 1995 and 2018 to measure migration flows across rural and urban sectors of five administrative regions of Nepal. Using a pseudo-panel of bilateral migration flows over time, we find that greater conflict was associated with significantly more emigration. This pattern was more pronounced for rural-urban migration. Disaggregated analyses show that conflict resulting in civilian deaths was associated with greater emigration while conflict resulting in combatant deaths was not. Migrants with low education and those in elementary occupations were more responsive to conflict than those with higher education or skilled occupations.

description: Die Popularität der zeitgenössischen und traditionellen Kultur Japans wird oft bei der Analyse hervorgehoben, wie Japan von der Zerstörung des zweiten Weltkriegs zur Supermacht der sanften Macht geworden sei. Gleichermaßen wird die ansteigende sanfte Macht Chinas ebenfalls mit seinen kulturellen Vermögen assoziiert, die überall auf der ganzen Welt durch die Konfuzius- Institute gefördert werden. Infolgedessen fokussieren viele Studien über die sanfte Macht von Japan und China hauptsächlich auf die kulturellen Dimensionen der sanften Macht. Dennoch weiten die Quellen der sanften Macht von China und Japan über ihre kulturellen Vermögen hinaus. Sie schließt die Vielfalt der anderen Dimensionen ein, einschließlich einer der Bildung. Die hohe Qualität der Bildung ist einer der wichtigsten Faktoren, die die Anziehungskraft einer Nation erhöhen und zu den Gewinnen von der sanften Macht beitragen können. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt diese Masterarbeit auf die Operationalisierung des Konzeptes über die sanfte Macht der Bildung und analysiert derer Charakter von China und Japan. Nach dem theoretischen Rahmen von the Educational Soft Power Model, der von Wojciuk, Michalek and Stormowska (2015) entwickelt wurde, werden die Ähnlichkeiten und die Unterschiede von den Eigenschaften der sanften Macht der Bildung Chinas und Japans durch drei Mechanismen untersucht. Sie resultieren das Ideal vom guten Leben und die Orientierung auf die Zukunft: Werte, Ressourcen und politische Instrumente. Der vielfältige Datensatz besteht aus der Modernisierung, der Gleichheit, der Lebensqualität, der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, der Qualität der Bildung, dem Humankapital, der Forschung und der Entwicklung, der Politik über die innenpolitischen Entwicklung und der internationalen Entwicklungshilfe. Er stammt aus unterschiedlichen Quellen um einen tiefen Einblick in die sanfte Macht auf der Dimension der Bildung zu bieten, die die beiden Supermächte aus Ostasien besitzen. Aus diesem Grund hat diese Masterarbeit das Ziel, um zum besseren Verständnis über die sanfte Macht Chinas und Japans im Bildungsbereich durch die Darstellung darüber, wie die beiden Länder die Bildung benutzt um wettbewerbsfähig und interessant auf der Weltbühne zu bleiben, beizutragen.

description: Handball ist eine sehr bekannte und beliebte Sportart in ganz Europa. Die Zahl der Personen, welche von der Leidenschaft des Handballspiels gepackt werden, steigt stetig. Aber dabei stellt sich die Frage, warum Menschen mit dieser Sportart beginnen und warum sie dabei bleiben? Welche Gründe sind dafür ausschlaggebend, ob man diese Sportart profi- oder amateurmäßig betreibt? Welche Unterschiede lassen sich dabei erkennen? Welchen Stellenwert nimmt der Handball im Leben der betroffenen Personen ein? Mit diesen und weiteren Themen setzt sich diese Diplomarbeit auseinander. Für die Ergebnissicherung wurde anhand von einschlägiger Literatur ein Fragebogen erstellt, welcher sich schon mehrfach bewährt hatte. Dieser Fragebogen, welcher zur Erhebung der einzelnen Motive und Identitäten im Handball dient, wurde von insgesamt 126 Probandinnen und Probanden im Alter von 14 und 36 Jahren ausgefüllt. Die Ergebnisse des Fragebogens machen uns deutlich, dass vor allem soziale Faktoren wie Freunde, Bekannte oder Schule und Universität für den Erstkontakt mit der Sportart ausschlaggebend sind. Die Motive, warum die Spielerinnen und Spieler mit dem Handballspielen begonnen haben, beziehungsweise warum sie dabei geblieben sind, sind hauptsächlich von sozialer und erfolgsorientierter Natur. Den Personen ist es wichtig im und mit dem Team erfolgreich zu sein und dabei zusätzlich sowohl sportlich als auch menschlich etwas zu leisten.
description: Handball is a well-known and popular sport in Europe. The number of people who are seized by the passion of the handball game is steadily rising. But that raises the question of why people start this sport and why they stick to it? What are the reasons for playing this sport as aprofessional or an amateur? What differences can be identified? How important is handball in the lives of the affected persons? This diploma thesis should deal with these and other topics in more detail. For the assurance of results, a questionnaire was drawn up on the basis of relevant literature, which had proven itself several times. This questionnaire, which is used for the survey of individual motives and identities in handball, was completed by a total of 126 persons between the ages of 14 and 36 years. The results of the questionnaire make it clear that especially social factors like friends, acquaintances or school and university are crucial for the initial contact with the sport. The reasons why the players started playing handball or why they stayed with it are mainly of a social and success-oriented nature. It is important for the persons to be successful in and with the team and additionally to do something sporty as well as human.
