title: The exhibit that bombed : the Enola Gay controversy and the culture wars in the United States
Creators: name: Eken, Mattias
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation seeks to place the so-called Enola Gay controversy of 1994-5 into the wider context of the culture wars in the United States. The controversy surrounded the preparations for an exhibit of the Enola Gay – the aircraft that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima – at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II. The resulting dispute has traditionally been understood as a clash between commemorative and critical voices in the US. Although this is certainly part of the story, there has been no serious attempt at establishing the location of the controversy within the wider cultural battles in the US. This dissertation therefore seeks to understand how the controversy related to, and had had an impact upon, other debates in the culture wars such as those surrounding provocative art, sexual orientation, and the teaching of history in US schools. This dissertation will argue that the controversy, as part of the wider culture wars, helped lead to a rejection of such notions as compromise and settling disputes through reasoned debate in American political and cultural discourse. Instead, the culture wars have given rise to a new climate for debate, one in which personal conviction based on strong emotions far outweigh any well-reasoned argument based on logic and dispassionate research. The eventual cancellation of the proposed exhibit should therefore be understood as indicative of far wider ideological battles in US culture. The cancellation set a worrying precedent for future debates in the US as it showed that some aspects of the nation’s history are beyond question and should not be challenged.

description: Up-to-date cosmological data analyses have shown that \textit{(a)} a closed universe is preferred by the Planck data at more than $99\%$ CL, and \textit{(b)} interacting scenarios offer a very compelling solution to the Hubble constant tension. In light of these two recent appealing scenarios, we consider here an interacting dark matter-dark energy model with a non-zero spatial curvature component and a freely varying dark energy equation of state in both the quintessential and phantom regimes. When considering Cosmic Microwave Background data only, a phantom and closed universe can perfectly alleviate the Hubble tension, without the necessity of a coupling among the dark sectors. Accounting for other possible cosmological observations compromises the viability of this very attractive scenario as a global solution to current cosmological tensions, either by spoiling its effectiveness concerning the $H_0$ problem, as in the case of Supernovae Ia data, or by introducing a strong disagreement in the preferred value of the spatial curvature, as in the case of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations.

The role of work-stress appraisals among female clerical workers
Creators: name: Morris, Jodi E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of appraisal in the stress and coping process by examining both antecedents and consequences of appraisals from the perspective of a transactional model of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). Analyses were conducted on a sample of female clerical workers (Study 1; N = 215) and partially replicated on a second sample (Study 2; N = 201). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses (HMRs) were conducted to examine the relationship between personal resources (e.g., optimism, selfefficacy), social resources (e.g., social support, supervisor support) and work-stress appraisals (primary and secondary appraisals), as well as between appraisals and depression. Study 2 expanded on Study 1 in that the effects of negative affectivity (NA) were controlled for in HMRs predicting appraisals. In addition, the effects of NA and initial levels of depression were controlled for in HMRs predicting depression. In both studies appraisals accounted for a significant amount of the variance in depression scores beyond that accounted for by demographics and resources; and in Study 2, NA and initial levels of depression. Results offer weak to modest support for the role of appraisals as suggested in Lazarus and Folkman's model, implications for theory and counselling practice are discussed.

description: La collana dei Quaderni alterna testi prettamente teorici a testi in cui l’approccio sistemico e della complessità si cala in diverse realtà, trasformando i modi di pensare ed operare.

In questo saggio di Cristina Mangia vediamo in azione una pratica di complessità, in cui, potremmo dire con Gregory Bateson, attraverso molteplici descrizioni sono affrontati fenomeni ambientali critici, di impatto essenziale e drammatico sulla salute pubblica, casi significativi e appassionanti. E’ una pratica processuale di cui sono partecipi soggetti diversi, non di rado in conflitto, e che innesca dinamiche trasformative. E da cui risulta evidente la complessità di ciò che dobbiamo intendere parlando di salute a livello collettivo.

Il saggio ne esplora con acume scientifico e precisione le condizioni, le difficoltà, le metodiche utili. Un approccio di grande attualità in un’epoca in cui le popolazioni e gli scienziati avranno spesso a che fare con problemi di cui sono esempio i casi affrontati. E che ci proporranno sempre più questioni di costruzione della conoscenza da porre alla base delle scelte, anche su scale più ampie

description: Variable-rate (VR) application of inputs in South African cash crop production is mainly concerned with fertilizer and lime, and this indicates the importance of these inputs in cash crop production. However, the profitability of VR application of inputs has not yet been investigated under South African conditions. This paper studies the maize yield response to variable-rate application of phosphorus (P) and the profitability thereof in South Africa, on the basis of data collected on a 104-hectare experimental field on a farm in the Bothaville district. The strip-plot design of 180 strips was used for this on-farm research experiment. This design involved treatments that run in the same direction across the field as planting and harvesting. The objective is to determine the maize crop response functions under different P rates and to estimate the profitability of VR relative to the single-rate (SR) application of P. The methodology involves modelling maize yield response functions for P under VR and SR treatments, and for different management zones. A spatial quadratic regression model is developed, according to which yield is estimated as a function of applied P, the treatment and management zones. The results indicate that yield response to P varies between VR and the SR application methods, as well as between management zones. Variable-rate treatment results in higher profits than the SR treatment.

description: Social hierarchy is important that can not be ignored in human socioeconomic activities and in the animal world. Here we incorporate this factor into the evolutionary game to see what impact it could have on the cooperation outcome. The probabilistic strategy adoption between two players is then not only determined by their payoffs, but also by their hierarchy difference -- players in the high rank are more likely to reproduce their strategies than the peers in the low rank. Through simulating the evolution of Prisoners' dilemma game with three hierarchical distributions, we find that the levels of cooperation are enhanced in all cases, and the enhancement is optimal in the uniform case. The enhancement is due to the fact that the presence of hierarchy facilitates the formation of cooperation clusters with high-rank players acting as the nucleation cores. This mechanism remains valid on Barabási-Albert scale-free networks, in particular the cooperation enhancement is maximal when the hubs are of higher social ranks. We also study a two-hierarchy model, where similar cooperation promotion is revealed and some theoretical analyses are provided. Our finding may partially explain why the social hierarchy is so ubiquitous on this planet.

description: The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the profitability and financial feasibility of three alternative scenarios to convert from beef-cattle farming to game ranching. The analyses acknowledge the importance of quantifying the probability of failure or success when making investment decisions. Risk is incorporated into a standard net present value analysis using risk simulation. De-trended historical auction prices of live game and on-the-hoof prices of weaner cattle were used to quantify price variability. The stochastic net present value analyses indicate that game ranching is more profitable than cattle farming. Although an investment in a limited number of common game species is financially feasible, the cash flow analysis indicates a decreasing probability of making more money with game when annual cash flows are compared to those generated by means of cattle farming. Both the high-value game species scenarios are financially unfeasible during the first five years. These infeasibilities stem from a high probability of not covering instalments to finance game purchases, the extent to which these instalments are not covered, and the high probability of shortfalls in consecutive years.
Probing tqZ anomalous couplings in the trilepton signal at the HL-LHC, HE-LHC and FCC-hh

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We investigate the prospects for discovering the Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) $tqZ$ couplings via two production processes yielding trilepton signals: top quark pair production $pp\to t\bar{t}$ with one top decaying to the $Z$ boson and one light jet and the anomalous single top plus $Z$ boson production process $pp\to tZ$. We study these channels at various successors of the Large Hadron Collider~(LHC), i.e., the approved High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) as well as the proposed High-Energy LHC~(HE-LHC) and Future Circular Collider in hadron-hadron mode (FCC-hh). We perform a full simulation for the signals and the relevant Standard Model (SM) backgrounds and obtain limits on the Branching Ratios (BRs) of $t\to qZ~(q=u,c)$, eventually yielding a trilepton final state through the decay modes $t\to b W^{+}\to b\ell^{+}ν_{\ell}$ and $Z\to \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$. The upper limits on these FCNC BRs at 95\% Confidence Level (CL) are obtained at the HL-LHC with $\sqrt s=14$ TeV and 3 ab$^{-1}$, at the HE-LHC with $\sqrt s=27$ TeV and 15 ab$^{-1}$ as well as at the FCC-hh with $\sqrt s=100$ TeV and 30 ab$^{-1}$.

title: Russofobia e nichilismo nazionale nel dibattito intellettuale russo di fine Novecento
Creators: name: Sabbatini, Marco
name: Cornettone, Nadia
Publisher: name: Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Digital Publishing
Year: 2016

description: Russophobia is one of the most interesting and complex manifestations in contemporary Russian literature. It is widely recognised that Russophobia is a western cultural conceptualization, with an attestation in written literature in the first half of the nineteenth century, when Astolphe de Custine composed La Russie en 1839 (1843) and Donoso Cortés published the Discurso sobre la dictatura (1849). We can presume that western Russophobia was exploited to contain and destabilize Russian Empire spheres of influence, and in the case of nineteenth century Russian literature, it was partially involved in the dispute between the Slavophiles and the Westernizers. In 1836, the first Philosophical letter of P. Chaadaev showed the existence of Russophobia among Russian thinkers, however the term ‘Russophobia’ was first coined by the poet and career diplomat F. Tyutchev in 1867. Avoiding the common western opinions about Russophobia and the traditional approach of the most important nineteenth century Russian schools of thought, the main aim of this work is to put in evidence the complexity of a controversial debate in the last three decades of the twentieth century, among such Russian writers as Sinyavsky, Solzhenitsyn, Pomerants, Shafarevich and Stratanovsky. In Rusofobiya (1983) Shafarevich borrows A. Cochin’s expression ‘Petit peuple’ in order to indicate a minority inside Russia, which actively contributes to its detriment. Amongst those who have criticised Shafarevich’s theory, A. Sinyavsky and S. Stratanovsky, with his essay Chto zhe takoe rusofobiya? (1990), have contributed to a deeper understanding of what Russophobia means in our contemporary world.

description: We present an in-depth analysis of the atomic and electronic structure of the quasi one-dimensional (1D) surface reconstruction of Ga on Si(112) based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS), Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. A new structural model of the Si(112)6 x 1-Ga surface is inferred. It consists of Ga zig-zag chains that are intersected by quasi-periodic vacancy lines or misfit dislocations. The experimentally observed meandering of the vacancy lines is caused by the co-existence of competing 6 x 1 and 5 x 1 unit cells and by the orientational disorder of symmetry breaking Si-Ga dimers inside the vacancy lines. The Ga atoms are fully coordinated, and the surface is chemically passivated. STS data reveal a semiconducting surface and show excellent agreement with calculated Local Density of States (LDOS) and STS curves. The energy gain obtained by fully passivating the surface calls the idea of step-edge decoration as a viable growth method toward 1D metallic structures into question.

description: We show that a class of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians realizing the Yang-Lee edge singularity exhibits an entanglement transition in the long-time steady state evolved under the Hamiltonian. Such a transition is induced by a level crossing triggered by the critical point associated with the Yang-Lee singularity and hence is first-order in nature. At the transition, the entanglement entropy of the steady state jumps discontinuously from a volume-law to an area-law scaling. We exemplify this mechanism using a one-dimensional transverse field Ising model with additional imaginary fields, as well as the spin-1 Blume-Capel model and the three-state Potts model. We further make a connection to the forced-measurement induced entanglement transition in a Floquet non-unitary circuit subject to continuous measurements followed by post-selections. Our results demonstrate a new mechanism for entanglement transitions in non-Hermitian systems harboring a critical point.

description: In order to fall under a prospect for sustainable management of the natural resources in Cameroon, this communication tries, using a 1996 survey carried out from 400 households in the towns of Yaounde, Mbalmayo and Ebolowa, to understand the demand behaviours of the urban households, with respect to the various sources of energy. The work aims to highlight the place of the firewood like source of energy. The results obtained confirm the important place of the firewood in its various forms like source of energy in urban areas and thus indicating a threat on the future of the natural resources, in particular forest, in Cameroon. The income-elasticity analysis showed that, contrary to "modern" fuels that are the oil and the gas which are normal goods, the fuels containing wood (wood, coal, sawdust) are inferior goods which decrease when the income increases. An improvement of incomes in the urban households is a solution to sustainable management or conservation of the natural resources in Cameroon.

Russian as a Partial Pro-Drop Language
Creators: name: Bizzarri, Camilla
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2015

description:

This paper explores the grammaticality and interpretation of referential null subjects (NSs) in Russian in distinct clausal types. Based on the results of an online survey (carried out by about 140 respondents), we show that in contrast with generalizations typically hypothesized for partial pro-drop languages (Holmberg, Nayudu, Sheehan 2009) Russian exhibits properties which seem to be nearer to consistent pro-drop languages than to partial pro-drop languages. Such peculiarities can be accounted for within an interface approach to the interpretation of pro. The relevant online survey compares and analyzes data concerning the grammaticality and interpretation of pro under bridge verbs, factive verbs, and in adverbial clauses (e.g., conditionals and temporal clauses). In particular, Control and Locality requirements (and related intervention effects) are tested by means of interposed subjects endowed with different inflectional features and in different non-local c-command contexts. Our analysis shows that the situation is not clear-cut and that several factors cooperate in the licensing of NSs in Russian. Evidence will be provided that a strictly syntactic approach has to be rejected and, based on Frascarelli’s (forthcoming) study, an alternative Interface approach is proposed. Thus, in order to distinguish Russian from consistent pro-drop languages and justify its partial pro-drop status, a proper Interface Visibility Condition is formulated.

The Limiting Topic
Creators: name: Carella, Giorgio
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2015

description:

In the literature, different types of Topics have been identified and studied in detail (cf. Chafe 1976; Reinhart 1981; Lambrecht 1994; Büring 1997, 2003; Frascarelli, Hinterhölzl 2007), while others have been less considered by scholars. This is the case of the Limiting Topic (LT), whose function is to limit the validity of a propositional content in a specific frame. We investigate in detail the characteristics of this type of Topic in order to answer four major questions: 1) Which types of frame can be activated by LTs? 2) What are the constituents most frequently associated with this type of Topic? 3) Is there a prosodic contour systematically associated with LTs? 4) Following the idea of CG as a file-card system (cf. Reinhart 1981), which role do they play in discourse dynamics? Based on corpus evidence, it is shown that: (i) the most common frames activated by LTs are spatial and temporal ones; (ii) LTs, although sharing some properties with Büring’s C-Topics, show the specificity of an independent category. In particular, it is claimed that LTs create a ‘subfolder’ in Reinhart’s sentence Topic (considered as a file-card), with a specific conversational function, namely, a faster retrieval of information.

description: The observed trend of decreasing poverty in Tunisian rural areas, where agriculture is still dominated by family and where illiteracy rate and family size are high, questions may be raised about the economic policies adopted by the state. This article puts the analyses of these policies in the framework of food safety issue as food and poverty are tightly related and as food safety objective is multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinary. In economic development plans, food safety objective took the place of self-sufficiency. The analysis of food safety policy is based on a macro-economic analysis of the offer (policies of production pricing and subsidizing, investment policies) and demand (Policies of consumption subsidies and consumer prices) as well as the policies of fight against poverty. This analysis covers two periods: before and after the economic reforms of privatization and liberalization of 1987 (PAS: Structural Adjustment Plan). The assessment of these policies shows that poverty fighting programs are numerous and rich in experiences. These policies are more and more based on assistance programs oriented toward productive actions. The liberalization and privatization efforts were reflected by better performance and competitiveness of the agricultural sector. This had a positive impact on the employment, the migration and the availability of food products in rural areas. The self targeting of the subsidies by differentiating the products reduced the budgetary cost of these transfers and enhanced the equity and the nutritional and food situation of the poor people. The higher increase in income of country people and the decrease of subsidies indicate the more and more use of income direct transfers.

Subjects: subject: 330 Wirtschaft

description: In this paper, we study the effect of exogenous global crop price changes on migration from agricultural and non-agricultural households in Sub-Saharan Africa. We show that, similar to the effect of positive local weather shocks, the effect of a locally-relevant global crop price increase on household out-migration depends on the initial household wealth. Higher international producer prices relax the budget constraint of poor agricultural households and facilitate migration. The order of magnitude of a standardized price effect is approx. one third of the standardized effect of a local weather shock. Unlike positive weather shocks, which mostly facilitate internal rural-urban migration, positive income shocks through rising producer prices only increase migration to neighboring African countries, likely due to the simultaneous decrease in real income in nearby urban areas. Finally, we show that while higher producer prices induce conflict, conflict does not play a role for the household decision to send a member as a labor migrant.

description: Improved micronutrient intake contributes to delaying the progression of HIV into AIDS and to reducing HIV infection rates. Higher agrobiodiversity in the homegarden contributes to improving the nutritional status of farm households. Farm households with HIV/AIDS affected members observe a decrease in labor supply and productivity causing them to reallocate labor. The reallocation of labor may result in change in agrobiodiversity. Sharecropping is often used to alleviate labor shortage in agricultural production. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the implications of HIV/AIDS on agrobiodiversity through sharecropping arrangements. The study is based on a survey among 205 farm households in the Jimma zone of South Western Ethiopia. Results show that HIV/AIDS driven increase in sharecropping has a positive effect on perennial and overall agrobiodiversity in the homegarden. This offers additional intervention options to mitigate the impacts of HIV/AIDS among farm households.

description: The helimagnet FeP is part of a family of binary pnictide materials with the MnP-type structure which share a nonsymmorphic crystal symmetry that preserves generic band structure characteristics through changes in elemental composition. It shows many similarities, including in its magnetic order, to isostructural CrAs and MnP, two compounds that are driven to superconductivity under applied pressure. Here we present a series of high magnetic field experiments on high quality single crystals of FeP, showing that the resistance not only increases without saturation by up to several hundred times its zero field value by 35 T, but that it also exhibits an anomalously linear field dependence over the entire field range when the field is aligned precisely along the crystallographic c-axis. A close comparison of quantum oscillation frequencies to electronic structure calculations links this orientation to a semi-Dirac point in the band structure which disperses linearly in a single direction in the plane perpendicular to field, a symmetry-protected feature of this entire material family. We show that the two striking features of MR-large amplitude and linear field dependence-arise separately in this system, with the latter likely due to a combination of ordered magnetism and topological band structure.

description: We study two sorts of actions on the space of conjugacy classes of irreducible $SU_2$-representations of a knot group. One of them is an involution which comes from the algebraic structure of $SU_2$ and the other is the action by the outer automorphism group of the knot group. In particular, we consider them on an 1-dimensional smooth part of the space, which is canonically oriented and metrized via a Reidemeister torsion volume form. As an application we show that the Reidemeister torsion function on the 1-dimensional subspace has symmetry about the metrization.

description: An important debate exists on whether soybean expansion in Brazil is responsible for putting more pressure on the Amazon forest or if it allows land use intensification through the recuperation of degraded pasture. In this paper, we estimate regional soybean supply own and cross price elasticity in order to better assess the possible impacts of agricultural trade liberalization in old and new soybean production basins. Applying a panel data estimation technique, we find large substitution supply elasticity between soybean and beef in Brazil Moreover, own price elasticity of soybean supply is much higher in Cerrados regions that in the South of the country. These results allow to discuss possible regional consequences of soybean trade liberalization on the Amazon forest. The current movements to promote sustainable and responsible soybean production in Brazil could certainly modify the future response of the sector to trade liberalization and its long term impacts.

description: We show that, when an approximation used in this prior work is removed, the resulting improved calculation yields an alternative derivation, in the particular case studied, of the accidental curvature constraint of Hellmann and Kaminski. The result is at the same time extended to apply to almost all non-degenerate Regge-like boundary data and a broad class of face amplitudes. This resolves a tension in the literature.

description: Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{\cal K}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of central extensions and the Schur multiplier. A surprising application is that Abelian groups of odd order possess naturally defined covers that can be computed from a given cover by a kind of warped Baer sum.

description: The trade liberalization has resulted in massive food imports into Cameroon and this is affecting the livelihoods of the farmers, industries, traders, and service providers of the imported foods. Cameroon was selected by FAO as one of the 12 country case studies on the impact of food import surges in developing countries with the overall objective of studying and analyzing the impact of the most prevalent and frequent surge commodities (poultry meat, rice, and vegetable oils) on stakeholders. The methods and analytical approach used for this study are those for WTO Safeguards investigation as outlined in the FAO working document, "Extent and impact of food import surges in developing countries: An analytical approach and research methodology for country case studies". Information for the study was obtained from both secondary sources and from primary sources (stakeholders' survey). Quantitatively and qualitatively, import surges occurred and are occurring for poultry meat in Cameroon. There were relatively low levels of this commodity imports into Cameroon until 1999-2004 at which time the import of poultry meat increased by 286.7%. Domestic and exogenous factors contributed to the commodity import surge in Cameroon. A potentially negative correlation between the movements in import volumes and movement in domestic price, per unit import value, domestic production, and profits, key injury indicators were noted. Factors other than imports contributed to the injuries. Cameroon's policy responses to the surges and injuries were its main trade policy instrument, the tariff, partial ban on imports of poultry meat, and instituted reference price.

description: We demonstrate that a three dimensional time-periodically driven (Floquet) lattice can exhibit chiral hinge states and describe their interplay with Weyl physics. A peculiar type of the hinge states are enforced by the repeated boundary reflections with lateral Goos-Hänchen like shifts occurring at the second-order boundaries of our system. Such chiral hinge modes coexist in a wide range of parameters regimes with Fermi arc surface states connecting a pair of Weyl points in a two-band model. We find numerically that these modes still preserve their locality along the hinge and their chiral nature in the presence of local defects and other parameter changes. We trace the robustness of such chiral hinge modes to special band structure unique in a Floquet system allowing all the eigenstates to be localized in quasi-one-dimensional regions parallel to each other when open hinge boundaries are introduced. The implementation of a model featuring both the second-order Floquet skin effect and the Weyl physics is straightforward with ultracold atoms in optical superlattices.

description: The paper provides a framework that focuses on the linkages between several key dimensions of supply chain organization and performance of perishable tropical food products. The focus is on the relationship between governance regime and quality management. However, two other but related variables are taken into account because they impact on the relationship between governance and quality management. These variables are channel choice and value added distribution in the supply chain. Governance regime is reflecting how to enhance coordination and trust amongst supply chain partners and how to reduce transaction costs. Quality management is dealing with how to manage food technology processes such that required quality levels can be improved and variability in quality of natural products can be exploited. Governance regimes in relation to quality management practices are discussed to the extent that supply chain partners are able, or are enabled, to invest in required quality improve¬ments. Reduction of transaction costs, creation of trust-based networks and proper trade-offs between direct and future gains may offer substantial contributions to effective quality management and enforcement. This framework has been applied to nine case studies on smallholder-based food supply chains originating from developing countries (Ruben et al., 2007). Three of these case studies are discussed in this paper to illustrate what challenges can be derived from the case studies. The selected case studies concern fish originating from Kenya, mango originating from Costa Rica and vegetables produced in China.
Are mental states nonlocal?

description: I show that if mental states are function of physical states, then they are nonlocal, in a sense that will be explained. I argue that, if mental states are reducible to brain physics, and if they are integrated experiences, this nonlocality implies that Classical Physics is not enough, in particular the computationalist thesis does not hold. I illustrate the argument with a thought experiment. The proof of nonlocality is straightforward and general, but the result is counterintuitive, so I spend a large part of the article discussing possible objections, alternatives, and implications. I discuss the possibility that Quantum Physics allows this kind of nonlocality.
