Final Report on the Development of the Okanagan Charter : An International Charter for Health Promoting Universities & Colleges
Creators: name: Black, Tara

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This report summarizes the activities undertaken by the Charter Working Group in the development of the Okanagan Charter: An International Charter for Health Promoting Universities and Colleges. This includes processes prior to, during and following the 2015 International Conference on Health Promoting Universities and Colleges: 10 Years after the Edmonton Charter. The Charter was co-designed as an outcome of the 2015 International Conference on Health Promoting Universities and Institutions of Higher Education. The Charter development process engaged researchers, practitioners, administrators, students and policy makers from 42 countries. The first draft of the Charter was based on input from over 200 people through a pre-conference survey and expert interviews as well as a review of existing Charters and Declarations. At the conference, with support of a writing team, 375 delegates critiqued and refined the Charter in a design lab and dialogue sessions. Delegates were invited to bring forward into the Charter development, ideas from the multiple plenaries and concurrent sessions that comprised the scientific program. On the final Conference day, higher education leaders and delegates, including network and organization representatives, signed a Pledge to bring the Charter back to their settings to inspire and catalyze further action towards the creation of health promoting universities and colleges. Representatives from the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization joined the Pledge. Through the ongoing dissemination and use for the Charter in higher education, network building and future conferences, our hope is that health promotion in higher education settings will be advanced internationally.

description: The Refinery Platform (http://refinery-platform.org) is a data analysis environment for reproducible research that links a data repository with analysis pipelines and visualization tools within a single user interface. The goal of Refinery is to facilitate analysis and interpretation of genomic and epigenomic data in a reproducible fashion. To support this, the data repository is built around the ISA-Tab data model (http://isa-tools.org) and analyses are executed in Galaxy (http://usegalaxy.org). Workflows are configured, launched, and monitored through the Refinery user interface, which offers a sophisticated file browser that operates on data set sample annotations. Among other efforts, we have created the Stem Cell Commons based on the Refinery Platform for the Harvard Stem Cell Institute with over 200 stem cell related data sets.

description: This thesis has been embargoed for 10 years and will not be available until April 2028 at the earliest.
description: This thesis is a collection of fictional stories that intertwine through place and character. Through these stories, the author has attempted to analyze how we experience certain places and why we’re drawn to those places—whether they are dying cities or candy shops or watershed gorges or dive bars—and how our connections to those places affect us. This collection focuses mainly on the city of Erie, Pennsylvania, where the economy is dying and the Great Lake’s algae blooms have sent its fragile ecosystem into a tailspin. The residents are trapped in the city and most of the people who try to leave usually don’t make it out. With elements of magical realism and mythology throughout, this work attempts to investigate the idea that place can function as a character and also how place can impact characters and their relationships.
Transition and Political System Issues in Albania
Creators: name: Krasniqi, Afrim
Publisher: name: Konrad Adenauer Stiftung / Finckenstein & Salmuth
Year: 2024

description: Three decades after Albania began its transition from a one-party communist state to a pluralistic aspiring democracy with regular elections, it is in the paradoxical position of both not-yet having achieved democracy and also having maintained its longest period of democratic elections in its history as a nation.

This paper provides an overview of the social, historical, and political factors leading up to communist dictatorship and influencing post-communist transition, with a particular focus on the post-communist political and representative system, including the influence of international policies on the issues related to representation. Coming out of a single-party system, Albania began its journey towards democracy without any experience with a multi-party system, with a political elite that lacked knowledge about how to administer freedom, and with a substantial gap between the perceptions and expectations for democracy and the real capacities and opportunities for achieving democracy in Albania.
Understanding this allows us to see that the pitfalls and obstacles Albania has suffered during its long transition are the inevitable result of the limits of the political elite. This analysis of the political elite in turn allows us to make informed and viable recommendations for advancing democracy in the future.

title: Algorithms to Improve Analysis and Classification for Small Data
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Binary 2D images can be analyzed with an image operator algorithm based on theoretical shape proportions and encircled image-histograms (SPEIs). These images can be classified with an algorithm that reduces complex classification problems into a series of simpler ones using decision trees with automatic model generation (DAMG). DAMG provides exceptional classification rates for small data problems when using the results of SPIEs as variables alongside other shape metrics. SPEIs describe shapes using two metrics: shape proportions (SPs) and encircled image histograms (EIs). SP and EI values are useful for classifying and describing shapes. SPEI-based approaches outperform convolutional neural networks in small data problems, where data is limited. DAMG converts any multinomial classification problem into a series of elegant binary classification problems. DAMG is particularly effective in small data scenarios as it is able to convert imbalanced problems into balanced problems. The developed SPEIs and DAMG tools are applied to the global issue of pill shape classification. The final models produced outperform current approaches and are more easily interpreted than many statistical or machine learning algorithms. Further, SPEI and DAMG are applied to a variety of different data sets to show their wide applicability.

Ernest James Worman and the Victorian Genizah: A Salt-Miner's Tale of Romance, Tax Evasion, and Sudden Death
Creators: name: Posegay, Nick
Publisher: name: Brill
Year: 2024

description: Ernest Worman was the first scholar to experience what many of us have come to recognise as the 'salt-mine' of the Genizah. Already seven decades before the founding of the Genizah Research Unit (GRU), he toiled away in the depths of Cambridge University Library (CUL), documenting fragment after fragment that, for the most part, did not move the needle of history one way or the other. Many of his greatest successes were secondary, research performed on behalf of other scholars who needed a librarian's assistance in their own career-defining projects. He died tragically young, but his history is still entangled with that of the GRU and CUL. That said, Worman himself may have preferred to be remembered for his activities outside of academia. He was a devout Christian, a talented musician, an avid boater, and a committed activist for the wellbeing of young men. This article documents his life spent in service to the Cambridge community and the legacy he left behind for modern Genizah scholars.

Für viele Frauen bedeutet dies Leid, das zudem häufig unsichtbar bleibt, und oft genug helfen allgemeine psychotherapeutische Angebote nicht weiter. Ein Großteil der Betroffenen entwickelt in der Folge schwerwiegende psychische Störungen, was zumindest im deutschsprachigen Kontext nicht ausreichend bekannt ist. Es bedarf der Forschung, um betroffene Frauen angemessen zu unterstützen. Doch Forschung kostet Geld, das bislang nicht ausreichend für diesen Zweck zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Das Thema des strukturellen Verhältnisses zwischen (Geschlechter-)Ungleichheit und Kapitalismus muss somit auch vor diesem Hintergrund berücksichtigt werden.

description: This paper briefly describes the LUS-MT method for automatically learning user signatures (models of computer users) from datastreams capturing users’ interactions with computers. The signatures are in the form of collections of multistate templates (MTs), each characterizing a pattern in the user’s behavior. By applying the models to new user activities, the system can detect an imposter or verify legitimate user activity. Advantages of the method include the high expressive power of the models (a single template can characterize a large number of different user behaviors) and the ease of their interpretation, which makes possible their editing or enhancement by an expert. Initial results are very promising and show the potential of the method for user modeling.
title: Relations Between Motor, Social, and Cognitive Skills in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities
Creators: name: Kim, Helyn
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Developmental disabilities
subject: Cognitive skills
subject: Motor skills
subject: Preschoolers
subject: Social skills

description: The importance of children’s motor abilities, in relation to other developmental areas, has been acknowledged in both theory and research. However, researchers have typically focused on gross motor abilities in relation to cognitive and social abilities, and associations between fine motor, cognitive, and social abilities have received little research attention. In addition, very few studies have looked at the potential interrelations between motor, social, and cognitive abilities in preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities. The current study examined three areas of development, motor (both fine and gross motor), social, and cognitive skills, in preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities, to see whether there were associations between the three areas. The data for the study come from the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP; Winsler et al., 2008), a large-scale, collaborative, school readiness project, taking place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Participants were children receiving early childhood special education services (N = 3,191), who were assessed for overall development and socio-emotional protective factors in the Fall and Spring of their pre-kindergarten year, using the LAP-D (Nehring, Nehring, Bruni, & Randolph, 1992) and the DECA (LeBuffe & Naglieri, 1999). Results indicated that there were definite associations between motor, cognitive, and social skills. Also, both fine motor and gross motor skills in the Fall of the pre-kindergarten year significantly predicted later cognitive and social skills, measured in the Spring of the pre-kindergarten year, after controlling for child gender, age, and disability type; however, associations were stronger for fine motor skills, as opposed to gross motor skills, for both cognitive and social skills. In addition, disability category moderated the associations between motor and social and cognitive skills; however, gender was not a moderator, suggesting that the underlying associations between the three areas are similar for both boys and girls. The findings from this study have important implications for early educational programs and interventions, as well as for policymakers.

Subjects: subject: Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte

subject: Consumption
subject: Federal era

description: Through a close analysis of the belongings of Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, in combination with supporting primary source documents, this thesis explores how an elite woman negotiated the conflicts surrounding the creation of an American identity in Federal and Victorian America using material artifacts. At a time when the United States was still a newly formed nation, Americans questioned how civic and political roles for people of varying classes, genders, and races should be shaped. They also evaluated to what degree they should mimic or castoff the social customs and political practices of the European and British monarchies. Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte participated in both of these debates with her material choices, and used these objects along with her business savvy to create and shape a social and personal identity for herself.

Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Emanating from literature on social identity theory, intersectionality theory, gender and sexuality, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this research examines sexual orientation and gender identity as cross-cutting identities through the experiences of LGBTQ Israeli human rights activists. Data for this qualitative study were collected through two months of fieldwork in Israel-Palestine interviewing ten LGBTQ Israeli human rights activists. The methodology and research design utilized for this analysis was predicated upon an interpretive, constructivist, and phenomenological approach. Questions examined include how sexual orientation and gender identity are experienced on a personal level, individual interactions between LGBTQ Israelis and LGBTQ Palestinians, and how being LGBTQ influences perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Findings suggest that cross-categorization has the greatest potential when obstructive elements such as racism, nationalism, arrogance, condescension, pride, ethnocentrism, narcissism, ulterior motives, savior-like attitudes, and hero mentalities are mitigated.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Morality
subject: Confucianism
subject: Emperor Kangxi

subject: Economic ethics
subject: Qing Dynasty of China

description: This thesis investigates the evolution of Confucian ethics that affected Emperor Kangxi (1622-1762) ranging from 1644 to 1762, China. During the period of late Ming and Early Qing dynasties around 16th -17th CE, business activities had merged and gradually became controversial against the dynastic finance. The emperors of Ming and Early Qing were reluctant to promote merchants under a socio-economic milieu centered by Confucian concerns. Many historians of Chinese history usually criticize that such conservative mindset impeded China’s modernization and industrialization leading to wealth. They connect mathematically management to bureaucratic efficiency, therefore they blame on Confucianism for its inefficiency in administration and trapping imperial China in an “economy of Feng Jian” and recycled poverty. This thesis is aimed at arguing: 1) that bureaucratic inefficiency is not caused by Confucianism, but by ineligibility of execution on the balance among law, economics and morality; 2) the development of Confucian morality in terms of business and merchants throughout imperial China, and to examine economic ethics of Emperor Kangxi as a model to demonstrate that since Confucianism is able to make a state prosperous and its people self-content, it is a feasible and ideal economic morality of leadership.

Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: This study is a modified replication of Ingle et al. (2011). Through a different epistemological lens, I interviewed ten principals, eight teachers, and four central office administrators of a mid-sized suburban district in the Midwest to investigate how school leaders conceptualized fit and how the hiring process was operationalized to achieve it. The findings validate Ingle’s application of Person-Environment Fit as a framework for explaining how school personnel conceptualize fit and contributes to the literature by inquiring about specific fit types (person-job, person-group, and person-organization). It also extends the framework by including the concepts of complementary and supplementary fit. My inquiry found principals to have a stronger preference for person-organization and person-group fit than person-job fit, contradicting the findings in Ingle. I discuss plausible explanations for these differences and present the practical and theoretical implications of my study.

description: Nazism and fascism have been a latent problem within Europe since the Second War World. The gap between Left and Right Wing political parties has increased in the last few years. Many politicians in their determination to resolve the economic crisis have became more ‘extreme’ in their ideas and attitudes. Greece is surely the best example but is not by far an isolated case. This thesis focuses mainly on Spain, which as a consequence of its historical factors (civil war, 1936- 1939; fascist dictatorship, 1939-1975; transition, 1975-1981; democracy, 1981 until today) strong confrontations among politicians from different ‘sides’ have become a common scene. Many are the descendants of those in power during the dictatorship. From this confrontation arises my interest on the question, Is there a Disjunction between the Political Rhetoric that Divides Spain in Two Distinctive Political Ideologies (Left vs. Right) and the actual Response on the Ground?

description: In 1987, Pheidas showed that the field of Laurent series $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ with a constant for the indeterminate $t$ and a predicate for the natural powers $\{t^n \mid n > 0\}$ of $t$ is existentially undecidable. We show that the same result holds true if $t$ is replaced by any element $α$ of positive $t$-adic valuation.

description: 3D point clouds are essential for perceiving outdoor scenes, especially within the realm of autonomous driving. Recent advances in 3D LiDAR Object Detection focus primarily on the spatial positioning and distribution of points to ensure accurate detection. However, despite their robust performance in variable conditions, these methods are hindered by their sole reliance on coordinates and point intensity, resulting in inadequate isometric invariance and suboptimal detection outcomes. To tackle this challenge, our work introduces Transformation-Invariant Local (TraIL) features and the associated TraIL-Det architecture. Our TraIL features exhibit rigid transformation invariance and effectively adapt to variations in point density, with a design focus on capturing the localized geometry of neighboring structures. They utilize the inherent isotropic radiation of LiDAR to enhance local representation, improve computational efficiency, and boost detection performance. To effectively process the geometric relations among points within each proposal, we propose a Multi-head self-Attention Encoder (MAE) with asymmetric geometric features to encode high-dimensional TraIL features into manageable representations. Our method outperforms contemporary self-supervised 3D object detection approaches in terms of mAP on KITTI (67.8, 20% label, moderate) and Waymo (68.9, 20% label, moderate) datasets under various label ratios (20%, 50%, and 100%).

heat health warning system

description: This HIGH Horizons report (deliverable 3.3) presents heat health risk thresholds found in literature, threshold related results from WP2 data analysis, methods of determination of the thresholds, heat stress indices, and recommended thresholds at different heat risk levels of the heat health warning system (HHWS) for pregnant and postpartum women, infants and health workers. The selected cut-off thresholds will be implemented in the personalised early warning system (EWS) that the HIGH Horizons consortium is building for pregnant women, infants and health workers, based on ClimApp. The aim of identifying the heat health risk thresholds is to enable the EWS to use these pre-determined trigger levels of heat stress to alert impending heat health risks and provide advice to pregnant and postpartum women, caregivers of infants and health workers to take actions to reduce health risks.

Rudolf I of Habsburg: A Study of Power, Dynasty, and the Emergence of the Holy Roman Empire's Habsburg Line
Creators: name: van hagen, Rinus
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024

description: Rudolf I of Germany (1218-1291), born into a modest comital family, marked a turning point in European history. As the first king from the House of Habsburg, Rudolf's reign laid the groundwork for the subsequent rise of this dynasty to preeminence in European politics. His ascension to power in 1273 ended the Great Interregnum, a period of political instability that followed the death of Emperor Frederick II in 1250. During his reign, Rudolf I not only consolidated his personal power but also initiated a centuries-long Habsburg dominance, particularly in Austria and Styria, territories wrested from his formidable opponent, Ottokar II of Bohemia, in 1278. This paper examines Rudolf's role in the broader context of 13th-century European politics, with a specific focus on his rise to power, his military and political strategies, and the longterm consequences of his acquisition of Austria and Styria. By analyzing both primary sources, such as contemporary chronicles, and secondary sources, we will shed light on how Rudolf's reign represented a pivotal...
