The Broken Spell: The Romance Genre in Late Mughal India
Creators: Khan, Mohamad
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: South Asians
Comparative literature

description: This study is concerned with the Indian "romance" (qissah) genre, as it was understood from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century. Particularly during the Mughal era, oral and written romances represented an enchanted world populated by sorcerers, jinns, and other marvellous beings, underpinned by worldviews in which divine power was illimitable, and "occult" sciences were not treated dismissively. The promulgation of a British-derived rationalist-empiricist worldview among Indian élites led to the rise of the novel, accompanied by élite scorn for the romance as an unpalatably fantastic and frivolous genre. This view was developed by the great twentieth-century romance critics into a teleological account of the romance as a primitive and inadequate precursor of the novel, a genre with no social purpose but to amuse the ignorant and credulous. Using recent genre theory, this study examines the romance genre in Persian, Urdu, Punjabi, and Braj Bhasha. It locates the romance genre within a system of related and opposed genres, and considers the operation of multiple genres within texts marked as "romances," via communal memory and intertextuality. The worldviews that underpinned romances, and the purposes that romances were meant to fulfill, are thereby inspected. Chapters are devoted to the opposition and interpenetration of the "fantastic" romance and "factual" historiography (tarikh), to romances' function in client-patron relationships via panegyrics (madh), and to romances' restagings of moral arguments rehearsed in ethical manuals (akhlaq).
The Buildings and Practices of Fukien Construction Bureau 1916-1949: a Study of Western Missionary Architecture in China and the Preservation of Its Contemporary Legacy

description: From 1840 to 1949, numerous remarkable buildings designed by Western missionaries in the service of religious organizations were erected in China. The architectural practice of Western missionaries substantially influenced the modernization process of architecture in China in all aspects including architectural style, material and construction technology, and the business methods associated with the practice of architecture. Their work – both in its day and in the legacy of buildings they designed and erected – provides tangible evidence of the important but often unrecognized cultural exchanges between Western and Chinese cultures. As a matter of both architectural and social history, it is regrettable that few of these buildings survive today due to political or social unrest and the rapid redevelopment of the built fabric in recent decades. Given the scarcity of this physical legacy and limited recognition of this history, it is essential that an immediate study of Western missionary architecture is conducted to reveal further its multilayered history and to promote its preservation. This thesis endeavors to uncover the underappreciated history of a particular Western colonial building enterprise, the Fukien Construction Bureau (FCB). As an instrument of the Methodist Mission in China in the first half of the 20th century, the FCB provides evidence of the role architectural design played to affirm and extend the goals of the Methodist Mission. It produced hundreds of buildings, introduced methods of design and construction technology as well as engineering principles and business practices that greatly influenced the Chinese architectural system. By examining primary and secondary sources, field survey, and interviews, I trace the work of the FCB, document its enormous output, demonstrate its lasting impact on the practice of architecture in China to better understand the nature of its legacy in buildings and people. The few extant buildings as outward signs of this cultural legacy should be preserved. I also examine the Fuzhou Christian Union Hospital, a building demonstrates the ironic contrast between the high praise for its quality as a structure in the service of the Methodist and the neglect of its historical origin, as a case study. As one of the few remaining buildings designed and built by the FCB, I argue for the preservation of this hospital for its intrinsic significance as one of the best hospital structures of its time as well as its associative value with the FCB.

Tenthredo dealbata

description: Tenthredo dealbata Mocsáry, 1909
A senior objective synonym of Tenthredo (Eurogaster) deaurata (Enslin, 1912).
TYPES. Tenthredo dealbata Mocsáry, 1909: 33 –34. Syntypes Ƥ 3. Type localities: “Sibiria orientalis: Raddefka et Ussuri (Kasakewitsh).”. Primary homonym of Tenthredo dealbata Schrank, 1781 (a species incertae sedis). 3 syntypes (1 3 ”Kasakewitsch”, 2Ƥ “Raddefka”) examined.
= Tenthredella deaurata Enslin, 1912b: 105. Replacement name for Tenthredo dealbata Mocsáry, 1909.
DISCUSSION. The species is very similar to T. mesomela Linnaeus, 1758, but has a pale pterostigma and more extensive pale body colour. Specimens from the Ussuri area show a considerable variability regarding their colouration. The status of the taxon requires clarification in the course of a revision of the group.

description: Multilayer networks preserve full information about the different interactions among the constituents of a complex system, and have recently proven quite useful in modelling transportation networks, social circles, and the human brain. A fundamental and still open problem is to assess if and when the multilayer representation of a system provides a qualitatively better model than the classical single-layer aggregated network. Here we tackle this problem from an algorithmic information theory perspective. We propose an intuitive way to encode a multilayer network into a bit string, and we define the complexity of a multilayer network as the ratio of the Kolmogorov complexity of the bit strings associated to the multilayer and to the corresponding aggregated graph. We find that there exists a maximum amount of additional information that a multilayer model can encode with respect to the equivalent single-layer graph. We show how our complexity measure can be used to obtain low-dimensional representations of multidimensional systems, to cluster multilayer networks into a small set of meaningful super-families, and to detect tipping points in the evolution of different time-varying multilayer graphs. Interestingly, the low-dimensional multiplex networks obtained with the proposed method also retain most of the dynamical properties of the original systems, as demonstrated for instance by the preservation of the epidemic threshold in the multiplex SIS model. These results suggest that information-theoretic approaches can be effectively employed for a more systematic analysis of static and time-varying multidimensional complex systems.

The Burden of Forgiveness: Franciscans’ Impact on Penitential Practices in the Thirteenth Century

Penance

description: This dissertation explores the activities of the Friars Minor relating to penance, seeking to identify the distinctive characteristics of their penitential ideals and practices and understand how they affected the penitential lives of those around them. The first three chapters draw from sources dating to the thirteenth and occasionally early fourteenth centuries from all over Western Christendom, while the last two chapters use sources mainly from thirteenth-century Northern Italy. In the Franciscan Summae confessorum, handbooks for confessors, three distinctive Franciscan penitential ideals emerge: a willingness to undermine the established order of the Church in order to gain more influence in the penitential forum; a desire for more lenient interrogation methods and imposition of penances; and a conception of indulgences as a normal part of the penitential process rather than as extraordinary privileges. These ideals influenced the way Franciscans directed penitential policy when they became prominent under the Franciscan pope Nicholas IV. Absolution and dispensation were made more available through delegation, bishops were left out of the process, and indulgences were granted in larger numbers. Franciscan penitential ideals also spread to the laity through preaching. Franciscans’ emphasis on lenient penances was paired with sermons that urged the laity to do lifelong penance and exalted their spiritual status. Franciscan spiritual advice also moved holy women such as Angela of Foligno and Margaret of Cortona to moderate their excessive penitential practices, seek out indulgences, and criticize prelates. But many lay people resisted Franciscan influence, such as the confraternities of Florence who rejected Franciscan guidance. In general, there was a relationship of mutual influence between the friars and laity in which the friars aimed to control penitential practice to some extent, but also left room for and encouraged lay autonomy, which can be seen in testaments from Bologna.

description: Production of electroweak bosons in e+e- annihilation into quarks and into leptons at energies much greater than 100 Gev is considered. We account for double-logarithmic contributions to all orders in electroweak couplings. It is assumed that the bosons are emitted in the multi-Regge kinematics. The explicit expressions for the scattering amplitudes of the process are obtained. It is shown that the cross sections of the photon and Z production have the identical energy dependence and asymptotically their ratio depends only on the Weinberg angle whereas the energy dependence of the cross section of the W production is suppressed by factor s^{-0.4} compared to them.

description: This paper examines labour productivity in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, using microdata from Statistics New Zealand’s Prototype Longitudinal Business Database. It documents a sizeable productivity premium in Auckland, around half of which is due to industry composition. There is a cross sectional correlation between productivity and employment density, reflecting differences in both physical productivity and prices. This correlation is evident both within Auckland, and comparing Auckland with other areas. The relationship between changes in density and changes in productivity is less strong. The relationship between productivity and overall or own-industry employment density varies across industries, suggesting that the nature and extent of agglomeration benefits varies. Overall, localisation effects appear stronger than urbanisation, with productivity being more strongly related to own-industry density than to overall density.

description: Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is an aromatic plant used in foods, pharmaceuticals, and in cosmetics. In this study, the morphology and yield of 17 different basil genotypes and three cultivars (Moonlight, Midnight, and Dino) from Türkiye were analyzed in 2019 and 2020. A wide range of variations in plant height, number of branches, and weights of fresh and dry herbs weights were observed. The genotypes PI 531,396 from Hungary, PI 174,284 from Türkiye, PI 253,157 from Iran, and the Dino cultivar had the highest plant yield compared with the other genotypes and cultivars. The leaf color parameters (L*, a*, b* C*, H° and WI) were also determined for the plants. The highest lightness (L*) values were recorded in the PI 190,100 genotype, and the highest yellowness/blueness (b*) and hue angle (H°) values were recorded in the PI 207,498 genotype. The highest redness/greenness (a*), chroma (C*), and whiteness index (WI) values were recorded in the PI 197,442, PI 190,100, and PI 531,396 genotypes, respectively. Except for the L* values, the leaf color parameters clustered on the same side of the principal component analysis (PCA) axis. Dendrogram analysis divided the genotypes and cultivars into two main groups, and the main A group contained the cultivar Dino only. Therefore, the study identified important genotypic characteristics of the examined basil genotypes and cultivars that could be utilized to develop new cultivars.

description: This paper presents a two-phase protein folding optimization on a three-dimensional AB off-lattice model. The first phase is responsible for forming conformations with a good hydrophobic core or a set of compact hydrophobic amino acid positions. These conformations are forwarded to the second phase, where an accurate search is performed with the aim of locating conformations with the best energy value. The optimization process switches between these two phases until the stopping condition is satisfied. An auxiliary fitness function was designed for the first phase, while the original fitness function is used in the second phase. The auxiliary fitness function includes an expression about the quality of the hydrophobic core. This expression is crucial for leading the search process to the promising solutions that have a good hydrophobic core and, consequently, improves the efficiency of the whole optimization process. Our differential evolution algorithm was used for demonstrating the efficiency of two-phase optimization. It was analyzed on well-known amino acid sequences that are used frequently in the literature. The obtained experimental results show that the employed two-phase optimization improves the efficiency of our algorithm significantly and that the proposed algorithm is superior to other state-of-the-art algorithms.

The Burden of Suspicion: A Grounded Theory Study on the Psychological and Interpersonal Consequences of Criminalizing Stereotypes

Year: 2014
Subjects: Counseling psychology
Social psychology

description: This purpose of this study was to understand the immediate and cumulative impact of experiencing a form of stereotyping, which characterizes an individual as suspicious - dangerous, aggressive, criminal, or otherwise threatening.  Stereotypes are cognitive schema that contains the perceiver's beliefs and expectations about a particular group (Niemann, Jennings, Rozelle, Baxter, & Sullivan, 1994).  While the specific stereotype content may vary across groups, criminal stereotypes affect multiple marginalized communities and play a central role in the historical oppression and disenfranchisement of people of color, immigrants, LGBT people, and poor people, among others, in the United States.
      While much is known about the social and political consequences of criminalization, less is known about the psychological and interpersonal consequences.  Racial, class, and sexual and other disparities permeate many institutions in the United States, but perhaps nowhere is it more glaring and more destructive than within the criminal legal system.  Racial disparities in incarceration rates, length of sentencing, profiling, police brutality, and penalty enhancements, are just some of the macro and measurable consequences of criminalizing stereotypes. This study specifically sought to explore the consequences on the individual and interpersonal levels.  Interviews with nineteen participants and grounded theory data analysis reveal six core themes that emerged that appear to present across all groups, though the manifestations differ depending on the specific criminal archetype evoked.  From these themes, an emergent theory was developed that attempts to explain both the immediate and long-term psychological and interpersonal consequences of this form of stereotyping.  The model also reveals the process by which participants come to understand, survive, and resist this form of oppression in their lives.  Implications of the findings are discussed.

description: [Introduction] What’s eating moody Ahab? In Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, Ahab is obsessed with hunting the white whale and cannot rest until he gets his revenge. His monomania germinates before the start of the novel, when a misadventure with Moby Dick results in a cruel disfigurement. Ahab cannot fathom any explanation for his lost leg except that the whale must be composed of pure malice—he places “the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down” (Melville 182) onto Moby Dick’s white hump, personifying the whale as the supreme evil of the world. Ahab then believes that he must be the one to take down the wicked whale. He becomes a man of absolutes, of black and white, and his world closes in until the only certainties are himself and the wicked whale. As a reaction to transcendentalism, Melville has the vengeful Ahab follow much of Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” advice, often too literally. Rather than becoming truly self-reliant or competent, Ahab instead becomes more selfdeluded, more reliant on others, and loses touch with humanity. On the other hand, through Ishmael and Queequeg, Melville shows how transcendentalism can be used in non-problematic ways to lead meaningful lives, and these characters can be seen as foils to Ahab. Ahab often takes Emerson’s transcendentalist advice to an extreme, creating an image of toxic self-reliance that morphs into solipsism; Ahab then dangerously perpetuates his narcissism through self-idolatry, and, by viewing the ship as his personal stage, eventually leads everyone—except Ishmael—to their demise.

In both cases, the simple exclusion process starts from an equilibrium distribution with non-vanishing particle density. Moreover, we assume to have initially a particle in the root, the tagged particle. We show for both models that the tagged particle has a positive linear speed and we give explicit formulas for the speeds.

description: [Introduction] In the pursuit of an ideal society, an important factor to consider is what system of distributive justice to establish. Given a group of people and some measure of well-being – for example, wealth, income, or respect – systems of distributive justice attempt to answer the question “Who should get what?”. In this essay, I will argue that the ideal system of distributive justice must be primarily based on libertarianism, with some added amount of socialism; the former represents the most morally justified system, while the latter represents a more fair system. Fairness and morality seem to be at odds, and while both are necessary to some extent in our society, our system of distributive justice must ultimately be morally justified by the people who will live under it. First, I will introduce four classical theories of distributive justice: meritocracy, egalitarianism, socialism, and libertarianism. Then, we will look at each theory individually, considering how one would best go about constructing such a system, and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each. This will allow us to rule out meritocracy and egalitarianism as viable systems, as they are either too vague or reducible to other systems. Next, being left with socialism and libertarianism, we will claim that these two plausible theories are on two sides of a sort of fairness-morality spectrum, and proceed to argue that the two can be consistently mixed. Finally, to decide the ideal libertarianism-socialism mixture, we will consider the emergence of forms of government from the perspective of a citizen, and find that libertarianism is to be preferred, but some socialism is necessary to protect certain fundamental rights.

description: In this work, we consider open-boundary conditions at high temperatures, as they can potentially be of help to measure the topological susceptibility. In particular, we measure the extent of the boundary effects at $T=1.5T_c$ and $T=2.7T_c$. In the first case, it is larger than at $T=0$ while we find it to be smaller in the second case. The length of this "boundary zone" is controlled by the screening masses. We use this fact to measure the scalar and pseudo-scalar screening masses at these two temperatures. We observe a mass gap at $T=1.5T_c$ but not at $T=2.7T_c$. Finally, we use our pseudo-scalar channel analysis to estimate the topological susceptibility. The results at $T=1.5T_c$ are in good agreement with the literature. At $T=2.7T_c$, they appear to suffer from topological freezing, impeding us from providing a precise determination of the topological susceptibility. It still provides us with a lower bound, which is already in mild tension with some of the existing results.

description: In the first three decades of the twentieth century, the population of Hollywood grew from 700 to over 150,000.  During this period of rapid urbanization, the need for affordable housing was met in part by the construction of hundreds of bungalow courts.  These groupings of one- and two-story units in a range of historical styles clustered around landscaped common space married the ideals of single-family living – privacy, outdoor space - with the benefits multi-family living – affordability, community. However, since the 1950s over 30% of bungalow courts have been demolished and replaced with parking lots, higher density residential and commercial uses, and this trend will continue.

While the general form and evolution of bungalow courts has been well researched, the preservation climate surrounding these resources has not. Existing literature affirms the heritage values associated with bungalow courts, but these values have to date been translated into preservation efforts in only limited ways. What proportion of bungalow courts are local landmarks or contained within a historic district?  How are bungalow courts assessed for eligibility for historic protection?  The majority of Hollywood is zoned for multi-family residential and commercial, and the allowable floor area ratio is often 3:1 or higher, and bungalow courts are generally one to two stories. If development is imminent, what are tools that can be used to proactively plan for the preservation of bungalow courts?

This project explores these questions through a comprehensive GIS survey of past and present bungalow courts in Hollywood, and an analysis of the existing development and regulatory context, recent preservation efforts and potential preservation tools.

description: Climate change is having profound effects on the distributions of species globally. Trait-based assessments predict that specialist and range-restricted species are among those most likely to be at risk of extinction from such changes. Understanding individual species’ responses to climate change is therefore critical for informing conservation planning. We use an established Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) protocol to describe the curious range-restriction of the globally threatened White-tailed Swallow (Hirundo megaensis) to a small area in southern Ethiopia. We find that, across a range of modelling approaches, the distribution of this species is well described by two climatic variables, maximum temperature and dry season precipitation. These same two variables have been previously found to limit the distribution of the unrelated but closely sympatric Ethiopian Bush-crow (Zavattariornis stresemanni). We project the future climatic suitability for both species under a range of climate scenarios and modelling approaches. Both species are at severe risk of extinction within the next half century, as the climate in 68–84% (for the swallow) and 90–100% (for the bush-crow) of their current ranges is predicted to become unsuitable. Intensive conservation measures, such as assisted migration and captive-breeding, may be the only options available to safeguard these two species. Their projected disappearance in the wild offers an opportunity to test the reliability of SDMs for predicting the fate of wild species. Monitoring future changes in the distribution and abundance of the bush-crow is particularly tractable because its nests are conspicuous and visible over large distances.

description: A hydro-geochemical study for water-quality assessment was conducted in the Tuticorin region of Tamil Nadu in southern India during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons of 2022 and the water samples are examined to comply with BIS and WHO guidelines. In the present study, the values of TDS (75%), Mg (37.5%), and TH (25%) have exceeded the permissible limits namely 500, 100, and 600 mg/L, respectively. The WQI proposed by CCME is used to analyze water suitability. The Pearson correlation and principal component analysis are used to study the relationship between various physicochemical parameters and principal components of water quality, respectively. Piper & Gibbs diagrams are plotted to identify the water types and the main water type predicted by the piper plot is Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 which makes up 74.3% of the the samples studied. WQI suggests that 22.5% and 50.0% specimens have excellent water quality during pre and post-monsoon seasons, respectively.
The Bureaucratic Mentality in Democratic Theory and Contemporary Democracy

description: This project draws attention to a contemporary exaltation of competence and swift decision-making that emphasizes the moment of executive power in democratic political practice and within democratic theory.  Drawing on Weber’s concept of rationalization and his opposition between the mentalities of the official and the politician, I develop a distinct conception of bureaucracy as a mode of thought.  Bureaucratic thinking involves the application of technical knowledge and skills, with a claim to universality and objectivity, in order to produce results and promote consensus and social harmony.  I argue that this conception allows us to better recognize the contemporary diffusion of a flexible, decentralized type of bureaucracy and situate it within the history of affinity and tension between bureaucratic and democratic principles.  I focus on a tradition within continental democratic theory, which tends to downplay politics by replacing it with administration and regulation. French political theorist and historian Pierre Rosanvallon is its contemporary representative, building on Hegel and Durkheim as well as Saint-Simon and Léon Duguit.  Initially, Rosanvallon offered a theory of participation and democratic legitimacy that would work within the administrative state, taking into account his own strong critiques of bureaucracy.  I argue that significant shifts evident in his later works, which respond to new realities, explicitly and/or implicitly mobilize bureaucratic thinking and practice to buttress democratic legitimacy within the nation-state and the European Union.  I then play Rosanvallon’s earlier anti-bureaucratic arguments against his modified position in order to argue against attempts to reconcile bureaucracy and democracy, understood in its procedural form with equal freedom at its core. My claim is that bureaucratic thinking aims at consensus, encourages passivity, undermines the democratic value of political equality, and obscures values and interests behind policy decisions that are presented as neutral, technical, and fact-based.  Methodologically, I use the history of ideas to develop the concept of the bureaucratic mentality, tracing it through the work of exemplary thinkers from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Hegel, Durkheim, and Weber.

description: In 1972, the California Coastal Commission was established by voter initiative via Proposition 20. The passing of Proposition 20 gave the Coastal Commission authority over the distribution of coastal development permits for four years. The passing of the California Coastal Act in 1976 gave the Commission this authority indefinitely. Under the Coastal Act, the Commission is tasked with protection of coastal resources including: shoreline public access and recreation, terrestrial and marine habitat, visual resources, landform alteration, agricultural lands, commercial fisheries, industrial uses, water quality, offshore oil and gas development, transportation, and development design, among various other things. Also under the California Coast Act, coastal cities and counties are asked to develop Local Coastal Programs (LCPs) that are to be approved by the Coastal Commission. After the Coastal Commission approves the LCPs, a local agency is then made responsible for issuing coastal development permits. Under these LCPs, communities are able to implement policies that address historic preservation issues. While some communities do not specifically mention historic preservation as one of the goals of their LCP, others do. Through an examination of various Local Coastal Programs, including those that both do and do not address historic preservation, recommendations for how other coastal communities can incorporate historic preservation into their LCPs will be made. California provides an important lesson for other states because the Coastal Act shows how historic preservation can and should be a part of larger policy conversations.

description: This paper proposes a methodology for the optimal design of series of sewer pipes including pumping stations. It employs a Shortest Path Algorithm to select the optimal combination of pipe diameters and invert elevations, as well as the optimal pumping features such as the number of pumps, location, and pumping head. The methodology is intended to be applied to the design of any sewer series. Although these are uncommon in real infrastructure, the study allows an analysis of the effect of pipe roughness, inflows, and pipe length on the total cost of the system and pumping features. The methodology was tested in theoretical series of 10 and 20 pipes as well as in a real series that is part of the sewer system of Bogotá, Colombia. The resulting designs suggested that using smooth pipes and reducing the pumping flow rate would decrease the cost of sewer systems in flat terrain.
