title: Disenchantment and re-enchantment in Hans J. Morgenthau's theory of international relations
Creators: name: Neacsu, Mihaela
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: This thesis represents a re-evaluation of Hans Morgenthau’s theory undertaken in the context of a revived interest in classical realism, and in the normative elements of Morgenthau’s thought in particular. This reading is built on a recognition of the central place occupied by morality in Morgenthau’s thought, and points to Nietzsche’s and Weber’s role in the articulation of Morgenthau’s perspective. The thesis contributes to the ongoing reinterpretation of Morgenthau’s theory by introducing and discussing the following topics and concepts: the centrality of the issue of meaning in Morgenthau’s account, and its relevance to the modemity/postmodemity dichotomy; Morgenthau’s commitment to the Nietzschean and Weberian diagnosis of the ‘death of God’; Morgenthau’s interpretation of power as meaning imposition; his examination of the disenchantment of politics; his vision of man as the source of both destruction and construction; Morgenthau’s concept of thoughtful leadership, which represents the constructive force of re-enchantment in politics. The thesis will also address the supposed tension in Morgenthau’s account between his endorsement of Nietzschean and Weberian assumptions regarding the plurality of values and truths which follows the death of God, and his arguing in favour of a renaissance of tradition with all its metaphysical certainties. The present interpretation will show that this is a superficial tension, and will argue that Morgenthau advances a viable solution to the challenges raised by contemporary politics, which tries to reconcile identity with difference, unique creativity with universal humanity, while also justifying the continuing relevance of tradition, perceived as a barrier against the proliferation of action for action’s sake. The key role is held by the statesman, whose responsible imposition of meaning transcends differences and leads to order and construction in an otherwise anarchic environment. As the thesis will show, in Morgenthau’s interpretation the practical skill of political leadership resolves the dichotomous choices of modemity/postmodemity and the contemporary predicament that Morgenthau perceived of the disenchantment of politics.

description: Introduction This study aimed to assess the impact of textual and graphic nudges on the usage intentions of reusable mugs within the UBC community. Research Question How do a graphic nudge and a textual nudge influence intended reusable mug use? Methods We designed an experiment where 249 participants were shown images of reusable mugs with different types of nudges: a graphic nudge featuring an animated dolphin and an ecofriendly message, a textual nudge displaying the same message but without the animated dolphin, and a control group with a standard black UBC-issued mug. Participants' responses were collected on their likelihood to purchase the mug, willingness to spend money on it, and their frequency of using it at campus cafes. Results The results of our study indicated that neither the textual nor the graphic nudges significantly influenced participants’ intentions in comparison to the control group. The findings suggest that while nudges are often considered a potent tool for influencing environmental behaviours, their effectiveness can vary significantly based on context and other underlying factors, which need further research within the community. Recommendations We recommended that UBC AMS explore a multi-faceted approach to enhance the adoption of reusable mugs within the UBC community. For further research, UBC AMS might consider experimenting with a combination of nudges, incorporating both textual and graphic elements, and perhaps integrating them with other behavioural incentives such as discounts or loyalty programs specifically tailored to reusable mug users. Additionally, more research into design preferences is advised, focusing on creating visually appealing and functional mugs that resonate with environmental themes, such as ocean protection.

Study of Nontrivial Magnetism in 3$d$-5$d$ Transition Metal based Double Perovskites

description: The coexistence of the strongly correlated 3$d$ transition metal (TM) atom and the strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of 5$d$ TM atom is potential to host exotic physical phenomena. In the present work, we have studied the magnetism resulting from such a coexistence in La$_2$CoIrO$_6$ (LCIO), a representative of bulk 3$d$-5$d$ double perovskites. In order to gain further insight into the effect of Co-$d$ states on the Ir-$d$ states, comparisons are carried out with the isostructural La$_2$ZnIrO$_6$, where nonmagnetic Zn atom replaces the Co atom. An in-depth analysis of the magnetic states in the framework of first principles calculation, using Landau theory and magnetic multipole analysis shows that the magnetism at the two constituent TM atoms in LCIO are driven by two different magnetic order parameters, viz., the spin moment as the primary order parameter responsible for the broken time-reversal state in Co and the higher order multipole: triakontadipole for the Ir magnetic state. A tight-binding analysis with the Ir-$t_{2g}$ orbitals, further, indicate that the Ir-$d$ states are hardly affected by the Co-$d$ states, in agreement with the multipole analysis. The computed heirarchy of the relevant multipoles in the present work can be probed in neutron diffraction measurements, motivating further experiments in this direction.

Simultaneous Chandra and RXTE Spectroscopy of the Microquasar H~1743-322: Clues to Disk Wind and Jet Formation from a Variable Ionized Outflow

description: We observed the bright phase of the 2003 outburst of the Galactic black hole candidate H 1743-322 in X-rays simultaneously with Chandra and RXTE on four occasions. The Chandra/HETGS spectra reveal narrow, variable (He-like) Fe XXV and (H-like) Fe XXVI resonance absorption lines. In the first observation, the Fe XXVI line has a FWHM of 1800 +/- 400 km/s and a blue-shift of 700 +/- 200 km/s, suggesting that the highly ionized medium is an outflow. Moreover, the Fe XXV line is observed to vary significantly on a timescale of a few hundred seconds in the first observation, which corresponds to the Keplerian orbital period at approximately 1 E+4 gravitational radii. Our models for the absorption geometry suggest that a combination of geometric effects and changing ionizing flux are required to account for the large changes in line flux observed between observations, and that the absorption likely occurs at a radius less than 1 E+4 radii for a 10 Msun black hole. Viable models for the absorption geometry include cyclic absorption due to an accretion disk structure, absorption in a clumpy outflowing disk wind, or possibly a combination of these two. If the wind in H 1743-322 has unity filling factor, the highest implied mass outflow rate is 20 percent of the Eddington mass accretion rate. This wind may be a hot precursor to the Seyfert-like, outflowing "warm absorber" geometries recently found in the Galactic black holes GX 339-4 and XTE J1650-500. We discuss these findings in the context of ionized Fe absorption lines found in the spectra of other Galactic sources, and connections to warm absorbers, winds, and jets in other accreting systems.

On Hadronic Models for the Anomalous $γ$-ray Emission Component in GRB 941017

description: González et al. (2003) have reported the discovery of an anomalous radiation component from ~ 1 -- 200 MeV in GRB 941017. This component varies independently of and contains >~ 3 times the energy found in the prompt ~ 50 keV -- 1 MeV radiation component that is well described by the relativistic synchrotron-shock model. Acceleration of hadrons to very high energies by GRBs could give rise to a separate emission component. Two models, both involving acceleration of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with subsequent photomeson interactions, are considered. The first involves a pair-photon cascade initiated by photohadronic processes in the GRB blast wave. Calculations indicate that the cascade produces a spectrum that is too soft to explain the observations. A second model is proposed where photopion interactions in the GRB blast-wave shell give rise to an escaping collimated neutron beam. The outflowing neutrons undergo further photopion interactions to produce a beam of hyper-relativistic electrons that can lose most of their energy during a fraction of a gyroperiod in the Gauss-strength magnetic fields found in the circumburst medium. This secondary electron beam produces a hard synchrotron radiation spectrum that could explain the anomalous component in GRB 941017.

description: Introduction In response to the environmental issue of single-use cup pollution, our study investigates the influence of gain-framed messaging on the intention to use reusable cups. Research Question How do posters that highlight the environmental benefits or the financial benefits of reusable cups influence the intention to use reusable cups? Methods We designed two types of posters: one highlighting the environmental benefits ("Happy Earth") and the other emphasizing financial savings ("Saving Money") to assess their impact on individuals' intentions compared to a control condition. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behaviour, we surveyed 258 participants from the University of British Columbia, measuring their intention to use reusable cups after exposure to one of the three poster conditions. Results Contrary to our hypothesis, the results showed no significant difference in the intention to use reusable cups between participants exposed to the "Happy Earth" and "Saving Money" posters and those in the control group. This suggests that neither environmental nor financial incentives increased the likelihood of choosing reusable cups over single-use options. Recommendations This outcome calls for a reevaluation of the strategies used to promote environmentally responsible behaviours. It also displays the need for further research to explore more effective communication and incentive mechanisms to encourage the use of reusable cups. Future research should investigate the effects of different reminder formats (e.g., digital vs. physical) and the potential impact of social norms on encouraging reusable cup use.

description: The low-laying frequencies of characteristic quasi-normal modes (QNM) of Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) black holes have been calculated for fields of different spin using the 6th-order WKB approximation and the approximation by the Pöshl-Teller potential. The well-known asymptotic formula for large $l$ is generalized here on a case of the Schwarzchild-de Sitter black hole. In the limit of the near extreme $Λ$ term the results given by both methods are in a very good agreement, and in this limit fields of different spin decay with the same rate.

description: The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) has been recently introduced as a W3C recommendation to define constraints that can be validated against RDF graphs. Interactions of SHACL with other Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies or reasoners, is a matter of ongoing research. In this paper we study the interaction of a subset of SHACL with inference rules expressed in datalog. On the one hand, SHACL constraints can be used to define a "schema" for graph datasets. On the other hand, inference rules can lead to the discovery of new facts that do not match the original schema. Given a set of SHACL constraints and a set of datalog rules, we present a method to detect which constraints could be violated by the application of the inference rules on some graph instance of the schema, and update the original schema, i.e, the set of SHACL constraints, in order to capture the new facts that can be inferred. We provide theoretical and experimental results of the various components of our approach.

description:  L’examen clinique d’un migraineux est riche d’enseignement. Il permet de préciser la ou les causes de la migraine qui sont essentiellement en rapport avec l’existence d’une dysocclusion dentaire. Les auteurs rapportent une étude portant sur leurs 400 derniers cas de migraines. Ils étudient particulièrement la sensibilité douloureuse provoquée à l’examen clinique, en divers points, dans la région cervico-faciale ou à distance. Cette sensibilité douloureuse provoquée est appré- ciée par le recours à une échelle d’évaluation analogique EVA graduée de 1 à 10.
Cette étude montre surtout que pratiquement dans tous les cas où l’on retrouve cette sensibilité douloureuse provoquée, à quelque niveau que ce soit, celle-ci disparaît pratiquement en totalité par la correction des anomalies occlusales dentaires.
description: The authors report a study based on their most recent 400 cases of migraine. In particular, the studied the tenderness detected on systematic clinical examination of the migraine patients. The observed abnormal tenderness in every case of migraine involving many sites, such as the neck and oral cavity, but also the lower limbs. They used an ergonomic visual analogue scale (VAS), scored from 0 to 10, to assess the intensity of tenderness in various parts of the body. Marked tenderness was particularly observed in the temporo-mandibular joints, trapezius and lateral pterigoid mucles, supraorbital nerves and the lateral inframalleolar region, which was the most painful zone in every case. They also studied a fair lay unusual site, the atlas, as tenderness of the atlas can indicate the site of the dental malocclusion responsible for migraine. In every case, comparative study of tenderness, particularly at the sites reported here, demonstrate conside- rable difference in the intensity of tenderness on clinical examination before and after correc- tion of the dental malocclusion, studied by the appropriate clinical test. The results reported here indicate the need for a very different approach to the curative treatment of migraine.

description: We have carried out scanning tunneling microscopy experiments under ultrahigh vacuum condition to study the morphology of ultrathin Ge films eposited on pristine Si(100) and ion-irradiated Si(100) self-affine fractal surfaces. The pristine and the ion-irradiated Si(100) surface have roughness exponents of alpha=0.19+/-0.05 and alpha=0.82+/-0.04 respectively. These measurements were carried out on two halves of the same sample where only one half was ion-irradiated. Following deposition of a thin film of Ge (~6 A) the roughness exponents change to 0.11+/-0.04 and 0.99+/-0.06, respectively. Upon Ge deposition, while the roughness increases by more than an order of magnitude on the pristine surface, a smoothing is observed for the ion-irradiated surface. For the ion-irradiated surface the correlation length xi increases from 32 nm to 137 nm upon Ge deposition. Ge grows on Si surfaces in the Stranski-Krastanov or layer-plus-island mode where islands grow on a wetting layer of about three atomic layers. On the pristine surface the islands are predominantly of square or rectangular shape, while on the ion-irradiated surface the islands are nearly diamond shaped. Changes of adsorption behaviour of deposited atoms depending on the roughness exponent (or the fractal dimension) of the substrate surface are discussed.

title: A study of the dialogue between Christianity and Theravāda Buddhism in Thailand: as represented by Buddhist and Christian writings from Thailand in the period 1950-2000
Creators: name: Boon-Itt, Bantoon
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: There has been little Buddhist-Christian dialogue in Thailand. Thai Buddhists, the majority community, see little need for dialogue. There are, however, two notable exceptions: the Venerable Payutto and the Venerable Buddhadāsa Bhikkhus.

 Thai Christians do not realise the importance of dialogue, hence Dialogue has been confined to a few Thai scholars. Historical study has shown that the first Christian emissaries from the West arrived with superior attitudes and hidden agendas, not troubling to understand Buddhism, nor its social context. Their efforts led to a lack of acceptance, even disdain, for Christianity. Thai Christians have not grasped the need to understand Theravāda Buddhism, as this dissertation uncovers, and without realising, they are communicating with Buddhists using Thai vocabulary that is incomprehensible.

 Buddhadāsa took a very significant initiative to dialogue with Thai Christians. Through his use of two levels of understanding language, Buddhadāsa reformulates key Buddhist doctrines. In particular his explication of nibbāna, not at or beyond death, but for all in the here-and-now via jitwang (freed-mind) and detachment from I/me-my/mine gives Buddhism contemporary relevance. Buddhadāsa compares his Buddhism to what he sees as the main features of Christianity. ‘God’ he identifies with the Buddhist concept of dhamma; nibbāna with ‘the kingdom of God’; and anattā with the Christian cross, perceiving it as ‘the denial of I’. Payutto’s exposition is more cautious, by contrast. It reflects Buddhist suspicions of historical Christianity and points to the urgency of dialogue.

 This dissertation uncovers the weaknesses and strengths of Thai Buddhist-Christian dialogue as it now stands, giving the big picture and uncovering the underlying issues for further research. It provides the crucial groundwork necessary for future work and stresses the need to dialogue and to enter each others’ worldview to overcome the problem of miscommunication through incomprehension. Only thus can fruitful dialogue leading to mutual understanding and social harmony be achieved.

Using {\em ab initio} transport calculations we find that, as in the case of non-magnetic electrodes, transport in Ni nanocontacts depends very much on the orbital nature of the electrons. Our results are in agreement with several experiments in the average value of the conductance. On the other hand, contrary to existing claims, DW scattering does {\em not} account for large MR in Ni nanocontacts.

description: The design and fabrication of robust metallic states in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is a significant challenge since lateral quantum confinement and many-electron interactions tend to induce electronic band gaps when graphene is patterned at nanometer length scales. Recent developments in bottom-up synthesis have enabled the design and characterization of atomically-precise GNRs, but strategies for realizing GNR metallicity have been elusive. Here we demonstrate a general technique for inducing metallicity in GNRs by inserting a symmetric superlattice of zero-energy modes into otherwise semiconducting GNRs. We verify the resulting metallicity using scanning tunneling spectroscopy as well as first-principles density-functional theory and tight binding calculations. Our results reveal that the metallic bandwidth in GNRs can be tuned over a wide range by controlling the overlap of zero-mode wavefunctions through intentional sublattice symmetry-breaking.

description: We examine the Bose-Einstein-condensate (BEC) equivalent of transverse aspects of laser resonators. We model numerically repeated focussing of a 2-dimensional BEC, which could be achieved in practice by a series of far off-resonant light pulses. We show for a range of non-linear coefficients that such a series of light pulses traps the BEC. We also model a combination of repeated focussing and loss, which could be achieved with a series of light pulses, some far off-resonant, some resonant. In analogy to light repeatedly being focussed and locally absorbed by passing through a laser resonator, a small proportion (in our model up to 10%) of the BEC is shaped into Hermite-Gaussian-like modes; the remainder of the BEC is lost. This happens irrespective of the presence of a harmonic trap. We show that astigmatic focussing of the resulting Hermite-Gaussian-like modes, which can be achieved by a pair of off-resonant light pulses, results in a specific number of vortices.

description: We present a series of X-ray variability results from a long XMM-Newton + NuSTAR campaign on the bright, variable AGN NGC 3227. We present an analysis of the lightcurves, showing that the source displays typically softer-when-brighter behaviour, although also undergoes significant spectral hardening during one observation which we interpret as due to an occultation event by a cloud of absorbing gas. We spectrally decompose the data and show that the bulk of the variability is continuum-driven and, through rms variability analysis, strongly enhanced in the soft band. We show that the source largely conforms to linear rms-flux behaviour and we compute X-ray power spectra, detecting moderate evidence for a bend in the power spectrum, consistent with existing scaling relations. Additionally, we compute X-ray Fourier time lags using both the XMM-Newton and - through maximum-likelihood methods - NuSTAR data, revealing a strong low-frequency hard lag and evidence for a soft lag at higher frequencies, which we discuss in terms of reverberation models.

Resolving distribution of relaxation times in Poly(propylene glycol) on the crossover region

description: In this paper, a recently developed numerical technique [{\em Tuncer E and Guba{ń}ski S M, IEEE Trans Diel El Insul {\bf 8}(3)(2001) 310-320}] is applied to poly(propylene glycol) complex dielectric data to extract more information about the molecular relaxation processes. The method is based on a constrained-least-squares (\clsq) data fitting procedure together with the Monte Carlo (\mc) method. We preselect the number of relaxation times with no {\em a-priori} physical assumption, and use the Debye single relaxation as ``kernel'', then the obtained weighting factors at each \mc step from the \clsq method builds up a relaxation time spectrum. When the analysis is repeated for data at different temperatures a {\em relaxation-image} is created. The obtained relaxation are analyzed using the Lorentz (Cauchy) distribution, which is a special form of the L{é}vy statistics. In the present report the $β$ and $α$ relaxations are resolved for the \ppg. A comparison of the relaxations to those earlier reported in the literature indicate that the presented method provides additional information compared to methods based on empirical formulas. The distribution of relaxation times analysis is especially useful to probe the crossover region where the $α$- and $β$- relaxations merge and the results show that the relaxation after the crossover region at higher temperatures is Arrhenius-type as the $β$-relaxation. Moreover, this relaxation is more likely to be the continuation of the $β$-relaxation, but with a different activation energy.

description: The 1972 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (P.L. 92-500) call for upgrading municipal wastewater treatment throughout the United States. The amendments established the goal of best practical waste treatment by 1977 and best available treatment by 1983 for all municipal wastewater treatment works. Although some delays have been granted, it is clear that many communities will eventually have to improve their treatment facilities.

description: Depolarization of quantum fields is handled through a master equation of the Lindblad type. The specific feature of the proposed model is that it couples dispersively the field modes to a randomly distributed atomic reservoir, much in the classical spirit of dealing with this problem. The depolarizing dynamics resulting from this model is analyzed for relevant states.

description: More than one in five U.S. jobs stems from agriculture. Some State economies rely on agriculture even more than that. Here are several different ways to judge a State's dependence on agriculture. They can help assess how a State can weather economic storms like depressed farm income and floods of cheap textile imports.
UBC Climate-Friendly Label recipe analysis, 2023-2024 : Student WorkLearn 2023-2024 Report
Creators: name: Marfatia, Sharon
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Research Objectives and Methodology The core objective of Sharon's work was to refine and extend the environmental impact analysis of food services at UBC. This involved incorporating a new land use metric into the assessment framework, re-evaluating baselines for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, stress-weighted water use and embodied nitrogen. A multi-faceted approach was employed, leveraging both existing and dynamic data analysis techniques. Key methodologies included: • Enhancing environmental impact assessments by integrating land use factors with existing metrics. • Automating the classification of food items into GHG impact categories and standardizing unit measurements to streamline procurement data analysis. • Deploying machine learning models, specifically focusing on natural language processing (NLP), to classify and analyze UBC Food Services data, with the objective to use UBC Food Services data to predict CF label assignments at other venues where detailed recipe information is unavailable. Major Findings The application of these methodologies yielded several significant findings: • The introduction of a land use factor provided a more comprehensive reflection of food choices' environmental impacts. • Automation of data categorization and unit standardization substantially improved the efficiency of data analysis processes. • The NLP-based machine learning model demonstrated a robust capacity for classifying food service data (final test score of 0.7356 = 73.56%), a positive prospect towards deploying the label more effectively. Significant Conclusions As we move forward, it is clear that the insights and methodologies developed have the potential to significantly influence both the academic and operational landscapes of food services at UBC and beyond. The enhanced analytical capabilities have not only improved the precision of environmental impact assessments but have also paved the way for more informed decision-making regarding food procurement and sustainability practices.
