title: Interdependence, ethnicity and anti-apartheid : the case of TransAfrica
Creators: name: Tidwell, Alan C
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This work examines the interaction between the variables of interdependence and ethnicity in the context of American anti-apartheid. As a focus of this work the anti-apartheid group TransAfrica is examined, its connections to other anti-apartheid groups both inside and outside the US, its relationships with other nonanti-apartheid groups, and various state actors. The work provides an examination of the rise of black American political structures within the context of anti-apartheid and it is argued that it is due to the rise of black American political power that there is a considerable black American presence in the anti-apartheid environment. Furthermore, it is argued that black Americans are present in anti-apartheid because of 1) long standing historical trends within black America, 2) the nature of Pan-Africanism, 3) the relative lack of consensus within the black American political community over domestic US issues, and 4) the level of interdependence between black Americans and other members of the African diaspora. As a central theme of this thesis is the claim that black Americans possess real, legitimate, and long standing foreign policy interests that are as important as any domestic concern that that group may have possessed. In order to demonstrate this argument the thesis contains the following chapters: 1) outline of the theoretical framework that describes the interaction between interdependence, ethnicity and anti-apartheid, 2) the history of black American political structures, 3) the conflict in southern Africa, which provides a backdrop against which TransAfrica's actions are measured, 4) the basic elements of TransAfrica, including its funding, issues structure and membership, as well as many of its more prominent actions, 5) examples of TransAfrica as a transnational actor, and 6) a concluding chapter which outlines the illustration that TransAfrica is indeed a transnational actor, which seeks to further the interests of black America by influencing the making of US foreign policy.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to concurrently design dynamic controllers and correlated differential privacy noise in dynamic control systems. An increase in privacy noise increases the system's privacy but adversely affects the system's performance. Our approach optimizes the noise distribution while shaping closed-loop system dynamics such that the privacy noise has the least impact on system performance and the most effect on system privacy. We further add privacy noise to both control input and system output to privatize the system's state for an adversary with access to both communication channels and direct output measurements. The study also suggests tailored privacy bounds for different states, providing a comprehensive framework for jointly optimizing system performance and privacy in the context of differential privacy.

description: The Hawking radiation of static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions in quadratic gravity, is here explored. The emitted fermions are governed by the Dirac equation in the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) context, that probes the spacetime (quantum) nature. The Hawking thermal spectrum is scrutinized out of the tunnelling method and the WKB procedure. The Hawking flux is shown to vanish for small black holes, for a precise combination of the GUP parameter and the coupling constants that drive the gravitational interaction in quadratic gravity, yielding absolutely stable black hole remnants.

description: Detailed investigations of extensive air showers have been performed with the data measured by the KASCADE experiment. The results allow to evaluate hadronic interaction models, used in simulations to interpret air shower data. The all-particle spectrum of cosmic rays and their mass composition, as well as individual spectra for groups of elements have been reconstructed. The results suggest, the knee in the all-particle cosmic--ray energy spectrum is caused by a rigidity-dependent cut-off of individual element groups.

description: Episiotomy is the most common labour ward procedure in obstetrics. Improper healing of the episiotomy wound can lead to prolonged and sometimes serious post-partum morbidity. Also, if infected, they may manifest as a surgical site infection and may lead to generalised sepsis. In this study, we aim to critically evaluate cases of episiotomy wound gapes and study antenatal, intrapartum, and infective causes for the same. This study aimed to study the prevalence and causes of episiotomy wound dehiscence and the maternal co-morbidities associated with them in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This observational, hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital from 2017-2018. A total of 30 cases of episiotomy wound dehiscence were studied. The rate of episiotomy wound dehiscence was 2.14% for the year 2017-2018. More than half (60%) of the patients have a wound dehiscence were overweight or obese. Anaemia, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypothyroidism were the main antenatal high-risk factors identified. In the intrapartum factors, wound dehiscence was more common in patients in whom labour was induced and those undergoing instrumental delivery. 70% of the cases were diagnosed between post-partum day 7-14, and the main presenting complaint was pain at the episiotomy site. The main organisms noted in infected wounds were Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae. In conclusion, episiotomy wound dehiscence is an important cause of post-partum morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. This study revisits the need to correct antenatal factors like obesity, anaemia, and hypothyroidism and highlights the need to refine intrapartum practices and post-natal follow up in patients at high risk for this condition.

description: We calculate numerically universal finite-size-scaling functions for the three-dimensional O(4) and O(2) models. The approach of these functions to the infinite-volume scaling functions is studied in detail on the critical and pseudocritical lines. For this purpose we determine the pseudocritical line in two different ways. We find that the asymptotic form of the finite-size-scaling functions is already reached at small values of the scaling variable. A comparison with QCD lattice data for two flavours of staggered fermions shows a similar finite-size behaviour which is compatible with that of the spin models.

description: This paper reviews recent advances in the field of optimization under uncertainty via a modern data lens, highlights key research challenges and promise of data-driven optimization that organically integrates machine learning and mathematical programming for decision-making under uncertainty, and identifies potential research opportunities. A brief review of classical mathematical programming techniques for hedging against uncertainty is first presented, along with their wide spectrum of applications in Process Systems Engineering. A comprehensive review and classification of the relevant publications on data-driven distributionally robust optimization, data-driven chance constrained program, data-driven robust optimization, and data-driven scenario-based optimization is then presented. This paper also identifies fertile avenues for future research that focuses on a closed-loop data-driven optimization framework, which allows the feedback from mathematical programming to machine learning, as well as scenario-based optimization leveraging the power of deep learning techniques. Perspectives on online learning-based data-driven multistage optimization with a learning-while-optimizing scheme is presented.
Gauged Supergravity and Singular Calabi-Yau Manifolds

description: Compactifications of M-theory on singular manifolds contain additional charged massless states descending from M-branes wrapped on vanishing cycles. We construct the first explicit example of a complete supergravity Lagrangian that includes such extra states. This is done for a compactification on a Calabi-Yau threefold that develops a genus zero curve of A_1 singularities at the boundary of the Kähler cone with a resulting SU(2) gauge symmetry enhancement. The corresponding SU(2) gauged supergravity Lagrangian includes two charged and two neutral vector multiplets, and turns out to be uniquely fixed by the Calabi-Yau geometry and by the effective ungauged Lagrangian describing the Coulomb branch. One can see explicitly how resolving the singularity corresponds to a supersymmetric Higgs effect in the gauged supergravity description. The elementary transformation relating the two families of smooth Calabi-Yau resolutions of the singularity acts as the SU(2) Weyl twist. The resulting structure appears to be very rigid and is likely to apply to other types of singularities and manifolds as well.

description: We express cluster variables of type $B_n$ and $C_n$ in terms of cluster variables of type $A_n$. Then we associate a cluster tilted bound symmetric quiver $Q$ of type $A_{2n-1}$ to any seed of a cluster algebra of type $B_n$ and $C_n$. Under this correspondence, cluster variables of type $B_n$ (resp. $C_n$) correspond to orthogonal (resp. symplectic) indecomposable representations of $Q$. We find a Caldero-Chapoton map in this setting. We also give a categorical interpretation of the cluster expansion formula in the case of acyclic quivers.

description: Regional economic integrations are the fundament on which modern economic relations are based. They stem out of numerous interests of those countries whose desire is to transfer some part of their authority into a new national-legal framework. One of the decisive reasons for these changes is the economic interest. It is realized because by integrating singular economic markets, better economic effects are achieved for all members of the integration. These effects are achieved for better exploitation of natural resources, workforce, etc. Knowledge, technological development and other positive externalities are used within these integrations. For this reason the integrations are more and more present in modern socio-economic activities. They are based on relevant theoretical works which have in the past half a century provided the scientific confirmation of the existence of great economic benefits gained through these integrations. Theorywise, each integration brings changes to the consumers and manuacturers of a country that enters it, while other changes take place as well. The most notable authors of the theories of customs union, economic and other integrations are Viner, Meade, Balassa, Lipsey and others. The EU is a typical example of a great and successful integration. It is still being enlarged. The new member states achieve faster growth through the advantages provided by the large market. The European Union has a rich history of its development while the ideas of European integrations are century-or even millenium-old ideas.

description: We present the discovery and high-cadence follow-up observations of SN 2018ivc, an unusual Type II supernova that exploded in NGC 1068 (D=10.1 Mpc). The light curve of SN 2018ivc declines piecewise-linearly, changing slope frequently, with four clear slope changes in the first 30 days of evolution. This rapidly changing light curve indicates that interaction between the circumstellar material and ejecta plays a significant role in the evolution. Circumstellar interaction is further supported by a strong X-ray detection. The spectra are rapidly evolving and dominated by hydrogen, helium, and calcium emission lines. We identify a rare high-velocity emission-line feature blueshifted at ~7800 km/s (in Ha, Hb, Pb, Pg, HeI, CaII), which is visible from day 18 until at least day 78 and could be evidence of an asymmetric progenitor or explosion. From the overall similarity between SN 2018ivc and SN 1996al, the \Ha{} equivalent width of its parent HII region, and constraints from pre-explosion archival Hubble Space Telescope images, we find that the progenitor of SN 2018ivc could be as massive as 52 Msun but is more likely <12 Msun. SN 2018ivc demonstrates the importance of the early discovery and rapid follow-up observations of nearby supernovae to study the physics and progenitors of these cosmic explosions.

description: According to theories on direct foreign investments and examples in practise, and using directions from normative and historic method, in this paper are analysed negative consequences of foreign direct investments on economies of different countries, with emphasis on agriculture. There are many support to foreign direct investments (FDI) from the government, as the only salutary solution for slacken economy, in countries like Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, etc. Real positions of economies (in Poland, Hungary, Mexico, Egypt, Croatia, Serbia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, etc), where FDI were welcomed as the only salutary solution, recommended from IMF and WB, by title “structural adjustment”, “macroeconomic stability and competitiveness” for economy and government of these countries, reveal the true face of FDI. According to Goldsmith E., Mender J., 1996, ruthless search for lowest wage, softest provisions (often on the edge of the law) and the cheapest resources in the aim of achieving extra profit, are often called “race to the bottom”, where “employees and government race for job with other workers and other countries, and competition is based on following: Who will work for less money? Who will accept half time job? Who will abandon social insurance and provisions regarding protection on working place? Who will allow that toxic waste is thrown in his back yard?”

description: Water is the most significant natural resource. There is no life without water. Throughout the history, relation to water has been changed, during which water, first seen only as a natural resource, has also become an economic good. Depending on the type of water in consumption, it can be comprehended as an absolute public asset, a public asset or a private property. Water management’s goal is to attain the efficiency in water services, through which the quality and the quantity of water is being changed, in order to satisfy the consumers (population, agriculture and industry). The creation of necessary conditions, such as income achievement through taxes and atonement, provide both public and private water consumption. In the view of the fact that water management is an infrastructural activity, it ought to be tailored in the accordance with transitional processes. The important task of water management is the integration of EU WFD, especially in handling river basins.

description: The costs of production have become more and more important as a factor of competitiveness in a developing market. In order to successful manage the production, managers need to know, at all times, the costs of production, their structure and tendencies. The production of the basic field crops in 2009 was characterised by high production costs per hectare, which were not caused by the increase of the production intensity (the quantity of inputs used) but by their high prices. The total costs of production in agricultural enterprises ranged from € 609 per hectare (in wheat production), up to € 1,148 per hectare (in sugar beet production) while in family households, those which pay only harvesting service, variable costs of production ranged from € 329 (in soybean production), up to € 810 (in sugar beat production). The price increase of raw material and fuel adversely affects the level of production intensity. Producers, striving to gain profit in conditions of expensive production, tend to reduce technology and produce at the expense of environment (primarily soil), which is socially unacceptable.

description: Background: Renal obstruction evaluation by X-Rays and CT scan is harmful and causes ionization in the body. That's why we find out the Diagnostic Accuracy of Doppler Ultrasound by doing it in our population for the Accurate and Early Detection of RI, especially in Renal obstruction. Objectives: To compare the resistive index of the renal artery in obstructive and non- obstructive kidneys by Doppler ultrasound. Methods: Comparative study design was used for this study. 162 patients are taken as sample size from different hospitals (DHQ Joharabad and Gillani Center, Lahore). The duration of the study was 3 Months after the approval of synopsis. Sampling technique used was Convenient Sampling technique. Date collected with the help of questioner and analyzed by using SPSS 22 mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution, and t-test. Results: The mean score value of the resistive index in non-obstructive kidney group was 0.63 ± 0.02. The minimum score value was 0.60, and the maximum score value was 0.66. In obstructive kidney group, the mean value of the resistive index was 0.77 ± 0.03. The minimum score value was 0.73, and the maximum score value was 0.81. There is a significant difference between these two groups as the p value of the t test statistics is less than the level of significance. Conclusion: It was concluded that calculi obstructive kidney caused prominent changes in the value of the resistivity index as compared to the resistivity index of normal kidney. The effect of obstruction has caused elevation of resistivity index pattern.
Antiferromagnetic Ground State, Charge Density Waves and Oxygen Vacancies Induced Metal-Insulator Transition in Pressurized La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$

description: La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$ has garnered widespread interest recently due to its high-temperature superconductivity under pressure, accompanied by charge density wave (CDW) ordering and metal-insulator (MI) transitions in the phase diagram. Here, we reveal with comprehensive calculations that La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$ possesses an antiferromagnetic ground state under both low and high pressures, with the strong Fermi surface nesting contributed by the flat band that leads to phonon softening and electronic instabilities. Several stable CDW orders with oxygen octahedral distortions are identified, which can trigger the MI transitions. The estimated CDW transition temperature ($\approx$120 K) at ambient pressure agrees nicely with experimental results. In the presence of apical oxygen vacancies, we identify two different phases, say, half distortion and full distortion phases, respectively, and their competition can lead to a pressure-induced MI transition, in good agreement with experimental observations. In addition, we find that the electron-phonon coupling is too small to contribute to superconductivity. These results appear to indicate an unconventional superconducting pairing mechanism mediated by antiferromagnetic fluctuations. A phase diagram that is consistent with the experimental results is given. The present results not only explain the origins of experimentally observed CDW and MI transitions, but also provide insight for deeply understanding the properties like superconductivity, CDW and the role of oxygen vacancies in pressurized La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$.

description: For many indigenous people, health is not merely absence of disease but a state of spiritual, communal, and ecosystem equilibrium and well-being. The indigenous concept of health hence articulates physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional elements, from both individual and communal points of view, and involves political, economic, social, and cultural aspects. The health care activities of the indigenous people are often embedded in the traditional beliefs, customs, folklore, taboos, and prescriptions. Like in most indigenous communities, the living traditions of health care exist in Naga society too, which are passed down orally from generation to generation. They have age-old knowledge of preparation and administration of medicines for different diseases using ingredients sourced from roots, barks, leaves, fruits as well as animal derivatives and other natural minerals. Healing rituals employed for invoking the intervention of supernatural forces are an integral component of the treatment procedure. On the whole traditional medicine helped the Naga people to effectively maintain an efficient health care system long before the arrival of the modern medical system. The current existence of a plurality of health care system in the Naga society brings to the fore the question of relevance and continuity of the indigenous health care system which have served the people well for millennia.

description: The supportive effect of arm-support exoskeletons has been mainly studied for single postures or movements. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of such an exoskeleton on shoulder muscle activity and perceived exertion, in six tasks of plasterers, each including multiple arm movements. The tasks of ‘applying gypsum’, ‘screeding’ and ‘finishing’ were performed at a ceiling and a wall, with exoskeleton (Exo) and without (NoExo). EMG was recorded of six muscles involved in upper arm elevation, four agonists and two antagonists, and plasterers rated their perceived exertion (RPE). In all tasks, the EMG amplitudes of three agonist muscles, Trapezius and Medial Deltoid, and Biceps Brachii, were lower in Exo vs NoExo, while the agonist, Anterior Deltoid, showed lower EMG values in Exo in most tasks. None of the antagonists (Triceps Brachii, Pectoralis Major) showed increased EMG values in the Exo condition. RPE’s were lower in Exo condition for all tasks, except for ‘applying gypsum to the wall’. Overall, the exoskeleton seems to reduce loads in realistic plastering tasks. Practitioner summary: Exoskeletons are an emerging technology in the field of ergonomics. Passive arm support exoskeletons have mainly been tested in lab studies using continuous overhead work, involving one posture or movement. However, in reality, working tasks generally involve multiple movements. This study investigates the effectiveness of an arm support exoskeleton in work that requires multiple arm movements, specifically in plastering. Muscle activity, as well as perceived exertion were both reduced when working with an exoskeleton.

Massive Close Binaries

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution of massive stars in general, massive close binaries in particular depend on processes where, despite many efforts, the physics are still uncertain. Here we discuss the effects of stellar wind as function of metallicity during different evolutionary phases and the effects of rotation and we highlight the importance for population (number) synthesis. Models are proposed for the X-ray binaries with a black hole component. We then present an overall scheme for a massive star PNS code. This code, in combination with an appropriate set of single star and close binary evolutionary computations predicts the O-type star and Wolf-Rayet star population, the population of double compact star binaries and the supernova rates, in regions where star formation is continuous in time.

description: Structural coloured organic–inorganic hybrid silica films are prepared through a self-templating approach using a liquid crystalline organosilane and a chiral dopant under the catalysis of HCl. The reflective band is tunable by changing the concentration of the chiral dopant. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy images indicated that the layer structure is constructed by right-handed packed nanofibers.
Colors of Trans-Neptunian Contact Binaries

description: The g'r'i' colors of seven likely and potential contact binaries in the Kuiper belt were acquired with the Magellan-Baade telescope and combined with colors from the literature to understand contact binary surfaces. The likely and potential contact binaries discovered in the dynamically Cold Classical population display very-red/ultra-red colors. Such a color is common in this sub-population and infers that the Cold Classical contact binaries were formed in-situ. The likely contact binaries found in several mean motion resonances with Neptune have colors from moderately to ultra-red suggesting different formation regions. Among the nine contact binaries discovered in resonances, five have very-red/ultra-red colors and four have moderately-red surfaces. Based on the very-red/ultra-red colors and low to moderate inclination of the contact binaries in resonances, these contact binaries are maybe escaped dynamically Cold Classicals that are now trapped in resonances. Moderately-red surfaces are common in diverse sub-populations of the Kuiper belt and thus pinpointing their origin is difficult though they are most likely captured objects formed in the giant planet area. Finally, for the contact binary population we report an anti-correlation between inclination and g'-r', as noticed in the rest of this belt. We also have hints for trends between eccentricity, perihelion distance, rotational period and g'-r', but as we are still dealing with a limited sample, additional data are required to confirm them.

description: The affirmation of organic production represents a man's return to nature and more significant appreciation of its legality. The demand for the products of organic production is increasing. Serbia has extraordinary terms for significantly higher organic production, as plant, as well as livestock. It also has modern legislation which regulates this kind of production. Besides, it supports foundation of this form of production, by stimulating assets from the government budget. However, this form of production is only in the beginning. In the paper was pointed out to: courses of organic livestock production in the world and in Europe (EU), condition of this production, institutional and natural terms in Serbia for the same production, as well as on basic references for its improvement.
Noncompact gauge fields on a lattice: SU(n) theories

description: Recently it has been found that in a noncompact lattice regularization of the SU(2) gauge theory the physical volume is larger than in the Wilson theory with the same number of sites. In its original formulation the noncompact regularization is directly applicable to U(n) theories for any n and to SU(n) theories for n=2. In this paper we extend it to SU(n) for any n and investigate some of its properties.

description: The $X$-rank of a point $p$ in projective space is the minimal number of points of an algebraic variety $X$ whose linear span contains $p$. This notion is naturally submultiplicative under tensor product. We study geometric conditions that guarantee strict submultiplicativity. We prove that in the case of points of rank two, strict submultiplicativity is entirely characterized in terms of the trisecant lines to the variety. Moreover, we focus on the case of curves: we prove that for curves embedded in an even-dimensional projective space, there are always points for which strict submultiplicativity occurs, with the only exception of rational normal curves.

description: Recent progress in the development of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) has delivered excellent performances, and has had a great impact on a range of research fields. The timing jitter, which denotes the temporal resolution of the detection, is a crucial parameter for many applications. Despite extensive work since their apparition, the lowest jitter achievable with SNSPDs is still not clear, and the origin of the intrinsic limits is not fully understood. Understanding its intrinsic behaviour and limits is a mandatory step toward improvements. Here, we report our experimental study on the intrinsically-limited timing jitter in molybdenum silicide (MoSi) SNSPDs. We show that to reach intrinsic jitter, several detector properties such as the latching current and the kinetic inductance of the devices have to be understood. The dependence on the nanowire cross-section and the energy dependence of the intrinsic jitter are exhibited, and the origin of the limits are explicited. System timing jitter of 6.0 ps at 532 nm and 10.6 ps at 1550 nm photon wavelength have been obtained.
