title: Macclesfield eÌ�lites, 1832-1918
Creators: name: Ainscough, Steven.
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The aim of the thesis is the study of Macclesfield's economic, social and political elites between 1832 and 1918. The thesis employs a wide range of primary and secondary sources to place the elites of Macclesfield into a contextual framework established by other studies of nineteenth-century urban leadership. The town of Macclesfield itself provides an interesting subject for the analysis of elite power as its staple trade, the silk industry, has attracted less historical attention in comparison, say, to the cotton towns of Lancashire. Furthermore, the fact that Macclesfield faced cyclical economic depression and protracted decline throughout the period "meant that particular emphasis was placed upon the role of local leadership and its ability to manage the situation. A number of important issues regarding the nature of elite power are addressed in the thesis. The factors which governed the attainment and accumulation of power resources in the economic, social and political arenas are evaluated, and the question of how `open' the ranks of the elite were to subordinate members of society is considered. The study also assesses the extent of elite civic participation and attempts to ascertain the motives behind such involvement. Connectedly, the relationship between paternalism and deference is appraised. Crucially, the thesis examines the responses of the local elite to economic decline, and focuses upon the ways in which the town's leadership legitimised and maintained their authority. Furthermore, the study attempts to discover whether there was any shift in the structure of local leadership during the period. With those issues forming the basis of an investigation into the nature of elite leadership in the nineteenth century, the thesis reveals a number of significant findings. It will be shown, for instance, that elite power was, to a large extent, conditional and dependent upon a two-way process of negotiation between the town leaders and the wider community. In that sense, the study demonstrates that members of the elite had to earn deference and respect through the provision of benevolence and acts of philanthropy. The thesis also shows that there was a noticeable shift in the balance of urban leadership, whereby the earlier pattern or structure of elite leadership-dominated by the traditional paternalist employers-was gradually eroded by external factors beyond their control. The thesis explores the reasons behind that erosion of employer elite power, and examines the factors that allowed for the wider participation of subordinate members of society in the arenas of urban leadership. In view of the debates and issues addressed by the various chapters, it is hoped that the thesis makes a positive contribution to the existing body of knowledge on nineteenth-century urban leadership, and also stimulates ideas for subsequent research projects.

description: La Corte Penal Internacional busca juzgar a los responsables de graves violaciones del derecho penal internacional según su grado de responsabilidad. Evidencia de esto es la persecución y juzgamiento de Señor Dominic Ongwen, uno de los cuatro lugartenientes del Ejército de Resistencia del Señor (LRA), por los crímenes de intento de asesinato, tortura, tratos crueles, actos inhumanos, esclavitud, atentados contra la dignidad personal, saqueo, destrucción de la propiedad y persecución entre otros. Esta situación se configura dentro de un interesante contexto, pues Dominic Ongwen fue abducido a los 10 años de edad por el grupo del cual fue lugarteniente hasta antes de su captura. En razón de lo anterior, la defensa del acusado ha alegado la incapacidad mental como una de las causales eximentes de responsabilidad penal (además del estado de necesidad), de acuerdo a lo consagrado en el Articulo 31 (1)(a) del Estatuto de Roma. Esta defensa se basa en dos elementos que deben probarse; (i) la existencia de una enfermedad o deficiencia mental; y (ii) que dicha enfermedad o deficiencia tenga tales características que lo priven (destruyan) al momento de cometer el hecho ilícito de: (a) su capacidad para apreciar la naturaleza o ilicitud de la conducta; o (b) controlar esa conducta a fin de no transgredir la Ley.

description: Diffusion tensor imaging has become an important modality in the field of neuroimaging to capture changes in micro-organization and to assess white matter integrity or development. While there exists a number of tractography toolsets, these usually lack tools for preprocessing or to analyze diffusion properties along the fiber tracts. Currently, the field is in critical need of a coherent end-to-end toolset for performing an along-fiber tract analysis, accessible to non-technical neuroimaging researchers. The UNC-Utah NA-MIC DTI framework represents a coherent, open source, end-to-end toolset for atlas fiber tract based DTI analysis encompassing DICOM data conversion, quality control, atlas building, fiber tractography, fiber parameterization, and statistical analysis of diffusion properties. Most steps utilize graphical user interfaces (GUI) to simplify interaction and provide an extensive DTI analysis framework for non-technical researchers/investigators. We illustrate the use of our framework on a small sample, cross sectional neuroimaging study of eight healthy 1-year-old children from the Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) Network. In this limited test study, we illustrate the power of our method by quantifying the diffusion properties at 1 year of age on the genu and splenium fiber tracts.

description: El 6 de septiembre de 2016, la Unidad de víctimas de la CPI puso a consideración ante nosotros la siguiente pregunta que buscaremos responder en este memorial:The Defence of Mr Ongwen has indicated that it will raise at trial grounds for excluding the individual liability of the Accused under article 31 of the Rome Statute and notably the defences of mental disease or defect and duress. Which elements of the two defences must be proven in order to exclude individual liability? How said defences could impact on the interest of victims in the proceedings? Este documento pretende responder la primera pregunta planteada por la Unidad de Víctimas sólo en cuanto a la defensa por duress, de ahora en adelante “Estado de Necesidad”. Para ello se dividirá en dos partes, de manera que se aborde el problema desde la teoría y la práctica:  en la primera, explicaremos la defensa de Estado de Necesidad y de cada uno de sus elementos conforme al artículo 31 del Estatuto de Roma, siguiendo las fuentes aplicables según el artículo 21 del mismo , todo esto conforme a las reglas de interpretación de los tratados de la Convención de Viena de 1969. En la segunda parte analizaremos el caso de Dominic Ongwen y la posibilidad de aplicación del Estado de Necesidad como defensa, para posteriormente concluir que como clínica jurídica, estamos de acuerdo con los argumentos de la SCP para rechazar la defensa de estado de necesidad, pues en el caso del Dominic Ongwen no se satisfacen los elementos requeridos para dicha la defensa.
Review of Levetiracetam as a First Line Treatment in Status Epilepticus in the Adult Patients – What Do We Know so Far?

description: With the advent of new antiepileptic drugs comes the potential for significant advances in the emergent management of status epilepticus. Traditional antiepileptic drugs possess side effect profiles that may limit their clinical utility or lead to increased patient morbidity or mortality. The relatively recent development of levetiracetam shows promise for effective control of acute status epilepticus in adults, but current objective data of its use as a first-line agent for control of status is quite limited. This paper serves to examine existing literature while considering levetiracetam as a first-line therapy in status in the adult patient population. Although existing studies are narrow in their scope, the present data lay a substantial foundation for further investigation of levetiracetam as a primary therapy in acute status epilepticus.
Penfield’s Prediction: A Mechanism for Deep Brain Stimulation
Creators: name: Murrow, Richard W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Context: Despite its widespread use, the precise mechanism of action of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy remains unknown. The modern urgency to publish more and new data can obscure previously learned lessons by the giants who have preceded us and whose shoulders we now stand upon. Wilder Penfield extensively studied the effects of artificial electrical brain stimulation and his comments on the subject are still very relevant today. In particular, he noted two very different (and seemingly opposite) effects of stimulation within the human brain. In some structures, artificial electrical stimulation has an effect, which mimics ablation, while, in other structures, it produces a stimulatory effect on that tissue.Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this paper is fourfold. First, it proposes that some neural circuits are widely synchronized with other neural circuits, while some neural circuits are unsynchronized and operate independently. Second, it proposes that artificial high-frequency electrical stimulation of a synchronized neural circuit results in an ablative effect, but artificial high-frequency electrical stimulation of an unsynchronized neural circuit results in a stimulatory effect. Third, it suggests a part of the mechanism by which large-scale physiologic synchronization of widely distributed independently processed information streams may occur. This may be the neural mechanism underlying Penfield’s “centrencephalic system,” which he emphasized so many years ago. Fourth, it outlines the specific anatomic distribution of this physiologic synchronization, which Penfield has already clearly delineated as the distribution of his centrencephalic system.Evidence: This paper draws on a brief overview of previous theory regarding the mechanism of action of DBS and on historical, as well as widely known modern clinical data regarding the observed effects of stimulation delivered to various targets within the brain. Basic science investigations, which support the hypothesis are also cited.Conclusion: This paper proposes a novel hypothesis for the mechanism of action of DBS, which was conceptually foreshadowed by Wilder Penfield decades ago.

description: We present probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the surface densities of ionized and neutral gas in the nearby spiral galaxies M31 and M51, as well as of dust emission and extinction Av in M31. The PDFs are close to lognormal and those for HI and Av in M31 are nearly identical. However, the PDFs for H2 are wider than the HI PDFs and the M51 PDFs have larger dispersions than those for M31. We use a simple model to determine how the PDFs are changed by variations in the line-of-sight (LOS) pathlength L through the gas, telescope resolution and the volume filling factor of the gas, f_v. In each of these cases the dispersion sigma of the lognormal PDF depends on the variable with a negative power law. We also derive PDFs of mean LOS volume densities of gas components in M31 and M51. Combining these with the volume density PDFs for different components of the ISM in the Milky Way (MW), we find that sigma decreases with increasing length L with an exponent of -0.76 +/- 0.06, which is steeper than expected. We show that the difference is due to variations in f_v. As f_v is similar in M31, M51 and the MW, the density structure in the gas in these galaxies must be similar. Finally, we demonstrate that an increase in f_v with increasing distance to the Galactic plane explains the decrease in sigma with latitude of the PDFs of emission measure and FUV emission observed for the MW.

description: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is known to be prone to artifacts related to motion originating from subject movement, cardiac pulsation, and breathing, but also to mechanical issues such as table vibrations. Given the necessity for rigorous quality control and motion correction, users are often left to use simple heuristics to select correction schemes, which involves simple qualitative viewing of the set of DWI data, or the selection of transformation parameter thresholds for detection of motion outliers. The scientific community offers strong theoretical and experimental work on noise reduction and orientation distribution function (ODF) reconstruction techniques for HARDI data, where post-acquisition motion correction is widely performed, e.g., using the open-source DTIprep software (1), FSL (the FMRIB Software Library) (2), or TORTOISE (3). Nonetheless, effects and consequences of the selection of motion correction schemes on the final analysis, and the eventual risk of introducing confounding factors when comparing populations, are much less known and far beyond simple intuitive guessing. Hence, standard users lack clear guidelines and recommendations in practical settings. This paper reports a comprehensive evaluation framework to systematically assess the outcome of different motion correction choices commonly used by the scientific community on different DWI-derived measures. We make use of human brain HARDI data from a well-controlled motion experiment to simulate various degrees of motion corruption and noise contamination. Choices for correction include exclusion/scrubbing or registration of motion corrupted directions with different choices of interpolation, as well as the option of interpolation of all directions. The comparative evaluation is based on a study of the impact of motion correction using four metrics that quantify (1) similarity of fiber orientation distribution functions (fODFs), (2) deviation of local fiber orientations, (3) global brain connectivity via graph diffusion distance (GDD), and (4) the reproducibility of prominent and anatomically defined fiber tracts. Effects of various motion correction choices are systematically explored and illustrated, leading to a general conclusion of discouraging users from setting ad hoc thresholds on the estimated motion parameters beyond which volumes are claimed to be corrupted.

description: We discuss modern developments in quantum optics with organic molecules, clusters and nanoparticles -- in particular recent realizations of near-field matter-wave interferometry. A unified theoretical description in phase space allows us to describe quantum interferometry in position space and in the time domain on an equal footing. In order to establish matter-wave interferometers as a universal tool, which can accept and address a variety of nanoparticles, we elaborate on new quantum optical elements, such as diffraction gratings made of matter and light, as well as their absorptive and dispersive interaction with complex materials. We present Talbot-Lau interferometry (TLI), the Kapitza-Dirac-Talbot-Lau interferometer (KDTLI) and interferometry with pulsed optical gratings (OTIMA) as the most advanced devices to study the quantum wave nature of composite matter. These experiments define the current mass and complexity record in interferometric explorations of quantum macroscopicity and they open new avenues to quantum assisted metrology with applications in physical chemistry and biomolecular physics.

description: Protein kinases are implicated in neuronal cell functions such as modulation of ion channel function, trafficking, and synaptic excitability. Both protein kinase C (PKC) and A (PKA) are involved in regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors through phosphorylation. However, the role of PKA in regulating GABAA receptors (GABAA-R) following acute ethanol exposure is not known. The present study investigated the role of PKA in the effects of ethanol on GABAA-R α1 subunit expression in rat cerebral cortical P2 synaptosomal fractions. Additionally, GABA-related behaviors were examined. Rats were administered ethanol (2.0–3.5 g/kg) or saline and PKC, PKA, and GABAA-R α1 subunit levels were measured by western blot analysis. Ethanol (3.5 g/kg) transiently increased GABAA-R α1 subunit expression and PKA RIIβ subunit expression at similar time points whereas PKA RIIα was increased at later time points. In contrast, PKC isoform expression remained unchanged. Notably, lower ethanol doses (2.0 g/kg) had no effect on GABAA-R α1 subunit levels, although PKA type II regulatory subunits RIIα and RIIβ were increased at 10 and 60 min when PKC isozymes are also known to be elevated. To determine if PKA activation was responsible for the ethanol-induced elevation of GABAA-R α1 subunits, the PKA antagonist H89 was administered to rats prior to ethanol exposure. H89 administration prevented ethanol-induced increases in GABAA-R α1 subunit expression. Moreover, increasing PKA activity intracerebroventricularly with Sp-cAMP prior to a hypnotic dose of ethanol increased ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex (LORR) duration. This effect appears to be mediated in part by GABAA-R as increasing PKA activity also increased the duration of muscimol-induced LORR. Overall, these data suggest that PKA mediates ethanol-induced GABAA-R expression and contributes to behavioral effects of ethanol involving GABAA-R.

description: Road vehicles are the major pollution sources which seriously harm human health and the environment worldwide. A series of directives for limiting vehicle pollution have been introduced pillticularly in the EU and USA. Presently many investigations are being carried out in order to find out more effectively ways to reduce the vehicle pollution hy precise measurement of the vehicle pollution. Tllis thesis reports the details of the design illId construction of a CAN network based intelligent monitoring system for the distributed monitoring of vellicle pollution. The essential theory to SUppOlt the development of the CAN networks is given in this thesis. The system descrihed in this thesis monitors the vehicle engine vibration, temperature of the vehicle exhaust emissions, and the vehicle exhaust gases. The CAN networks have been developed for each suh-system so that the system can be incorporated into automotive vehicles. The system has been tested on a diesel engine and showed that the vihration and the temperature were accurately measured. The tests of the priI11ill'y set-ups of the gas monitoring suh-system showed that the exhaust gases could he detected, and the pollution levels of each exhaust gases could he precisely measured. This project has heen undertaken as pillt of an EC Framework Programme 6 STREP project (OPTO-EMI-SENSE) and the results are being reviewed by Centro Ricerche Fiat for installation on a new diesel engine car.

description: We introduce simple models for associative algebras and bimodules in the context of non-symmetric $\infty$-operads, and use these to construct an $(\infty,2)$-category of associative algebras, bimodules, and bimodule homomorphisms in a monoidal $\infty$-category. By working with $\infty$-operads over $Δ^{n,\text{op}}$ we iterate these definitions and generalize our construction to get an $(\infty,n+1)$-category of $E_{n}$-algebras and iterated bimodules in an $E_{n}$-monoidal $\infty$-category. Moreover, we show that if $\mathcal{C}$ is an $E_{n+k}$-monoidal $\infty$-category then the $(\infty,n+1)$-category of $E_{n}$-algebras in $\mathcal{C}$ has a natural $E_{k}$-monoidal structure. We also identify the mapping $(\infty,n)$-categories between two $E_{n}$-algebras, which allows us to define interesting non-connective deloopings of the Brauer space of a commutative ring spectrum.

description: The stability of magnetized strange quark matter (MSQM) is studied in the MIT bag model with the density dependent bag pressure. In the consistent thermodynamic description of MSQM, the quark chemical potentials, the total thermodynamic potential and the anisotropic pressure acquire the corresponding additional term proportional to the density derivative of the bag pressure. The model parameter space is determined, for which MSQM is absolutely stable, i.e., its energy per baryon is less than that of the most stable $^{56}$Fe nucleus under the zero external pressure and vanishing temperature. It is shown that there exists the magnetic field strength $H_{u\,max}$ at which the upper bound $B_\infty^u$ on the asymptotic bag pressure $B_\infty\equiv B(\varrho_B\gg \varrho_0$) ($\varrho_0$ being the nuclear saturation density) from the absolute stability window vanishes. The value of this field, \hbox{$H_{u\,max}\sim$$(1$--$3)\cdot10^{18}$}~G, represents the upper bound on the magnetic field strength, which can be reached in a strongly magnetized strange quark star. It is clarified how the absolute stability window and upper bound on the magnetic field strength are affected by varying the parameters in the Gaussian parametrization for the density dependence of the bag pressure.

Inflammasome-IL-1β Signaling Mediates Ethanol Inhibition of Hippocampal Neurogenesis
Creators: name: Crews, Fulton T.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Regulation of hippocampal neurogenesis is poorly understood, but appears to contribute to mood and cognition. Ethanol and neuroinflammation are known to reduce neurogenesis. We have found that ethanol induces neuroinflammation supporting the hypothesis that ethanol induction of neuroinflammation contributes to ethanol inhibition of neurogenesis. To identify the key proinflammatory molecule that may be responsible for ethanol-impaired neurogenesis we used an ex vivo model of organotypic hippocampal-entorhinal cortex brain slice cultures. Here, we demonstrated a key role of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β signaling in mediating ethanol inhibition of neurogenesis. Ethanol inhibition of neurogenesis was reversed by neutralizing antibody to IL-1β or blockade of the IL-1β receptor with antagonist IL-1RIa. Ethanol-impaired neurogenesis is associated with strong induction of IL-1β and inflammasome proteins NALP1 and NALP3 in both neurons and astrocytes. Blockade of IL-1β synthesis with inflammasome inhibitors Parthenolide and Bay11708 significantly reversed ethanol inhibited neurogenesis. Furthermore, we also found that IL-1β and inflammasome proteins NALP1 and NALP3 are increased in hippocampal neurons and astrocytes in postmortem alcoholic human brain. Together, these novel findings demonstrate that targeting inflammasome-IL-1β signaling can normalize ethanol-impaired hippocampal neurogenesis, which may have therapeutic implications for treatment of cognitive impairment associated with hippocampal dysfunction in alcoholics.

description: La discusión sobre la protección de personas durante el desarrollo de conflictos armados internacionales y no-internacionales, hace parte del ius in bellum, es decir, de las reglas que gobiernan la conducción de hostilidades. Estas reglas pueden dividirse en dos grandes grupos: las que regulan los métodos de combate y las que regulan los medios para combatir2 . El tema que nos ocupa hace parte del primero, en el cual encontramos por ejemplo normas relativas a la regulación internacional del uso de armas y medios de combate, la condena de la perfidia, el tratamiento de los combatientes hors de combat y las obligaciones de las partes al momento de la preparación de las operaciones militares. Dentro de este escenario, toma un lugar central el principio de distinción, el cual es base para discernir sobre quiénes son personas protegidas frente ataques directos y quiénes no. Durante las siguientes líneas desarrollaremos un marco teórico, el cual fundamentará lo que hemos denominado test para el análisis de la pérdida de la condición de persona protegida. Con este test pretendemos facilitar la valoración de las alegaciones presentadas por las partes en aquellos procesos en los que se imputa el delito de “homicidio en persona protegida”.
Second order interference of chaotic light reflected from random medium

description: We consider the reflection from a random medium of light with short coherence length. We found that the second order correlation function of light can have a peak in a direction where the reflection angle is equal to angle of incidence. This occurs when the size of the region, from which light is collected, is larger than the coherence length.

On the regularity set and angular integrability for the Navier--Stokes equation

description: We investigate the size of the regular set for suitable weak solutions of the Navier--Stokes equation, in the sense of Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg. We consider initial data in weighted Lebesgue spaces with mixed radial-angular integrability, and we prove that the regular set increases if the data have higher angular integrability, invading the whole half space $\{t>0\}$ in an appropriate limit. In particular, we obtain that if the $L^{2}$ norm with weight $|x|^{-\frac12}$ of the data tends to 0, the regular set invades $\{t>0\}$.

description: This study aimed to draw attention to the effective role played by ultraviolet radiation in developing aerobic capacity and developing recovery in athletes by knowing the extent of its effect on the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system and the neuromuscular system, where these rays were used as a light spectrum that athletes are exposed to during sleeping hours. In this study, we used the experimental approach on a sample of (08) eight half-long distance runners of the older class, divided into two groups (control, experimental), and tests were conducted on them (Ruffier test, Vameval test, measurements of blood oxygen transfer rate, systolicand diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, muscle lactate concentration), where the interval between the pre and post measurement was 19 weeks, with the obligatory use of an ultraviolet lamp in the bedroom during this period. Through the results of this study, we concluded that these rays had a significant effect on blood pressure and resting pulse, and did not affect the maximum aerobic speed and the concentration of lactic acid. Positive results can be linked to the effective role of vitamin D, which stimulates the absorption of phosphorus and magnesium, controlling blood pressure and clogged arteries, and adjusting calcium levels in the body, which reduces high blood pressure and balances the level of acidity in the body. This is evidenced by the presence of vitamin D receptors. at the lung level. Therefore, we recommend using this method to improve the functional performance of the cardiovascular system in athletes
Spinning out of control: wall turbulence over rotating discs

description: The friction drag reduction in a turbulent channel flow generated by surface-mounted rotating disc actuators is investigated numerically. The wall arrangement of the discs has a complex and unexpected effect on the flow. For low disc-tip velocities, the drag reduction scales linearly with the percentage of the actuated area, whereas for higher disc-tip velocity the drag reduction can be larger than the prediction found through the linear scaling with actuated area. For medium disc-tip velocities, all the cases which display this additional drag reduction exhibit stationary-wall regions between discs along the streamwise direction. This effect is caused by the viscous boundary layer which develops over the portions of stationary wall due to the radial flow produced by the discs. For the highest disc-tip velocity, the drag reduction even increases by halving the number of discs. The power spent to activate the discs is instead independent of the disc arrangement and scales linearly with the actuated area for all disc-tip velocities. The Fukagata-Iwamoto-Kasagi identity and flow visualizations are employed to provide further insight into the dynamics of the streamwise-elongated structures appearing between discs. Sufficient interaction between adjacent discs along the spanwise direction must occur for the structures to be created at the disc side where the wall velocity is directed in the opposite direction to the streamwise mean flow. Novel half-disc and annular actuators are investigated to improve the disc-flow performance, resulting in a maximum of 26\% drag reduction.

description: We consider a general scalar-tensor theory of gravity and review briefly different forms it can be presented (different conformal frames and scalar field parametrizations). We investigate the conditions under which its field equations and the parametrized post-Newtonian parameters coincide with those of general relativity. We demonstrate that these so-called limits of general relativity are independent of the parametrization of the scalar field, although the transformation between scalar fields may be singular at the corresponding value of the scalar field. In particular, the limit of general relativity can equivalently be determined and investigated in the commonly used Jordan and Einstein frames.
