Ways of the place : history, cosmology and material culture in North Pentecost, Vanuatu
Creators: name: Taylor, John Patrick
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003

description: Ways of the place explores social, spatial and historical consciousness among the Sia Raga people of North Pentecost. In doing so it seeks to convey a sense of the intimate relationship between past, present, place and person that characterises this region of northern Vanuatu. Core arguments centre on the analysis of an apparently isomorphic structure that permeates across Sia Raga interpretations of history, cosmos and social practice, such as are made apparent in local written and oral texts, biological understandings and material culture. Rather than appearing as merely static, images that echo this structure incorporate aetiologies of growth, change, conflict and re-generation. The analysis of these central Sia Raga concepts, images and critical strategies bears relevance to ongoing anthropological debates concerning structure and history, and the relation between languages of time and space. For the Sia Raga, trees provide a key narrative device to understandings of history, both recent and "deep", particularly as these relate to notions of social and physical space. The narrative qualities of trees are further manifested in the profound social and cosmological knowledge that adheres within the architectonics of houses. Trees (and houses) embody qualities of autochthony and foundation, but also of growth and trajectory, and thus incorporate both solid and fluid qualities within the same image. Knowledge of the shaping of trees, involving the upward growth of a central trunk from which branches bifurcate on each side, is central to Sia Raga interpretive strategies. The notion of "sides" (tavalun) reflects the important Sia Raga idea of ambivalent dualism - a tense relation between equal and opposing sides - that is articulated through the concept of wasi: to be "tighdy bound", "entangled' or "stuck". Wasi implicated not only in relation to indigenous divisions - of moieties, male and female, the "lived world" and "other-world"- but is extended to reflect crucially on social and political-economic relations between Sia Raga and foreigners (tuturam), and of the relation between what are viewed as locally authentic "ways of the place" (alengan vanua) and the ways of outsiders (alengan tuturam).

description: Low temperature properties of antiferromagnetic two-leg spin-1/2 ladders with bond randomness and site dilution (or doping with nonmagnetic impurities) are studied using the real-space renormalization-group technique. We find that for non zero doping concentrations the systems are driven into a phase dominated by large effective spins, i.e. the Large Spin phase. The susceptibility follows a universal Curie-like 1/T behavior at low temperature,regardless of the doping concentrations (as long as it is nonzero) and the strength of bond randomness. Very similar behavior has been found in ladders that are doped with magnetic impurities that carry spin-1.

description: With the huge amount of information available online, the World Wide Web is a fertile area for data mining research. The Web mining research is at the cross road of research from several research communities, such as database, information retrieval, and within AI, especially the sub-areas of machine learning and natural language processing. However, there is a lot of confusions when comparing research efforts from different point of views. In this paper, we survey the research in the area of Web mining, point out some confusions regarded the usage of the term Web mining and suggest three Web mining categories. Then we situate some of the research with respect to these three categories. We also explore the connection between the Web mining categories and the related agent paradigm. For the survey, we focus on representation issues, on the process, on the learning algorithm, and on the application of the recent works as the criteria. We conclude the paper with some research issues.

description: The enantiomeric metabolites D-xylulose-5-phosphate and L-xylulose-5-phosphate are highly relevant in numerous important pathways from microbial to human metabolism. As these phosphorylated chiral metabolites are required for the analysis of enzyme activities, pathways and biological functions in health and disease, efficient and straightforward methodologies for their synthesis are needed. Biocatalytic phosphorylations of their corresponding monosaccharides offer single step synthetic routes. Therefore, D- and L-xylulokinases have been selected, the XKS1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the lyx gene from Escherichia coli have been synthesized and cloned into an appropriate expression vector to allow for the production of the enzymes in E. coli. The expression has led to highly active xylulokinases in the soluble fractions, which could be directly used for the biocatalytic phosphorylation of D- and L-xylulose, using the phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP)/pyruvatekinase(PK)-system for the regeneration of the ATP cofactor. The time course of the phosphorylation reactions has been monitored by 31P-NMR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy and the monosaccharide substrates could be phosphorylated with nearly 100% conversion. After standard workup, both the D-xylulose-5-phosphate and the L-xylulose-5-phosphate have been obtained in high yield and purity.

description: We study the time and temperature dependent correlation functions for an impenetrable Bose gas with Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions $\langle ψ(x_1,0)ψ^\dagger(x_2,t)\rangle _{\pm,T}$. We derive the Fredholm determinant formulae for the correlation functions, by means of the Bethe Ansatz. For the special case $x_1=0$, we express correlation functions with Neumann boundary conditions $\langleψ(0,0)ψ^\dagger(x_2,t)\rangle _{+,T}$, in terms of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations which were introduced in \cite{kojima:Sl} as a generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We generalize the Fredholm minor determinant formulae of ground state correlation functions $\langleψ(x_1)ψ^\dagger(x_2)\rangle _{\pm,0}$ in \cite{kojima:K}, to the Fredholm determinant formulae for the time and temperature dependent correlation functions $\langleψ(x_1,0)ψ^\dagger(x_2,t)\rangle _{\pm,T}$, $t \in {\bf R}$, $T \geq 0$.

description: Non-stationarity appears in many online applications such as web search and advertising. In this paper, we study the online learning to rank problem in a non-stationary environment where user preferences change abruptly at an unknown moment in time. We consider the problem of identifying the K most attractive items and propose cascading non-stationary bandits, an online learning variant of the cascading model, where a user browses a ranked list from top to bottom and clicks on the first attractive item. We propose two algorithms for solving this non-stationary problem: CascadeDUCB and CascadeSWUCB. We analyze their performance and derive gap-dependent upper bounds on the n-step regret of these algorithms. We also establish a lower bound on the regret for cascading non-stationary bandits and show that both algorithms match the lower bound up to a logarithmic factor. Finally, we evaluate their performance on a real-world web search click dataset.

Adaptive regression and model selection in data mining problems
Creators: name: Bakin, Sergey
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1999

description: Data Mining is a new and rapidly evolving area which deals with problems related to extracting structure from massive commercial and scientific data sets. Regression analysis is one of the major Data Mining techniques. The data sets encountered in the Data Mining area are often characterized by a large number of attributes (variables) as well as data records.This imposes two major requirements on the regression analysis tools used in Data Mining: first, in order to produce accurate and parsimonious models exhibiting the most important features of the problem in hand, they should be able to perform model selection adaptively and, second, the cost of running such tools has to be reasonably low. Most of the modern regression tools fail to meet the above requirements. This thesis is intended to contribute to the improvement of the existing methodologies as well as to propose new approaches. We focus on two regression estimation techniques. The first one,called Probing Least Absolute Squares Modelling (PLASM), is a generalization of the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) by R. Tibshirani which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the 11-norm of the regression coefficients being less than a constant. LASSO has been shown to enjoy stability of the ridge regression coupled with the ability to carry out model selection. In our approach called PLASM, we replace the constraint employed in LASSO with a different constraint. PLASM allows for an arbitrary grouping of basis functions in a model and includes LASSO as a special case.The implication of using the new constraint is that PLASM is able to perform model selection in terms of groups of basis functions. This turns out to be very useful in a number of data analytic problems.For example, as far as additive modelling is concerned,the dimensionality of the PLASM minimization problem is much less than that of LASSO and is independent (at least explicitly) of the number of datapoints which makes it suitable for use in the Data Mining context. The second tool we consider this thesis is the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) developed by J.Friedman.In our version of MARS called BMARS, we use B-splines instead of truncated power basis functions. The fact that B-splines have the compact support property allows us to introduce a new strategy whereby at any momen the algorithm builds a model using B-splines of a certain scale only and it switches over to splines of smaller scale after the fitting ability of the current splines has been exhausted. Also, we discuss a parallel version of BMARS as well as an application of the algorithm to processing of a large commercial data set.The results of the numerical experiments demonstrate that, while being considerably more efficient, BMARS is able to produce models competitive with those of the original MARS.

description: Ultrafast control of electron dynamics in solid state systems has recently found particular attention. By increasing the electric field strength of laser pulses, the light-matter interaction in solids might turn from a perturbative into a novel non-perturbative regime, where interband transitions from the valence to the conduction band become strongly affected by intraband motion. We have demonstrated experimentally and numerically that this combined dynamics can be controlled in graphene with the electric field waveform of phase-stabilized few-cycle laser pulses. Here we show new experimental data and matching simulation results at comparably low optical fields, which allows us to focus on the highly interesting transition regime where the light-matter interaction turns from perturbative to non-perturbative. We find a 5th order power-law scaling of the laser induced waveform-dependent current at low optical fields, which breaks down for higher optical fields, indicating the transition.

description: The decomposition and the reformation of the (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+d (?Bi,Pb(2223)?) phase have been investigated in-situ by means of High-Temperature Neutron Diffraction, both in sintered bulk samples and in Ag-sheathed monofilamentary tapes. Several decomposition experiments were performed at various temperatures and under various annealing atmospheres, under flowing gas as well as in sealed tubes, in order to study the appropriate conditions for Bi,Pb(2223) formation from the melt. The Bi,Pb(2223) phase was found to melt incongruently into (Ca,Sr)2CuO3, (Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41 and a Pb,Bi-rich liquid phase. Phase reformation after melting was successfully obtained both in bulk samples and Ag-sheathed tapes. The possibility of crystallising the Bi,Pb(2223) phase from the melt was found to be extremely sensitive to the temperature and strongly dependent on the Pb losses. The study of the mass losses due to Pb evaporation was complemented by thermogravimetric analysis which proved that Pb losses are responsible for moving away from equilibrium and therefore hinder the reformation of the Bi,Pb(2223) phase from the melt. Thanks to the full pattern profile refinement, a quantitative phase analysis was carried out as a function of time and temperature and the role of the secondary phases was investigated. Lattice distortions and/or transitions were found to occur at high temperature in Bi,Pb(2223), Bi,Pb(2212), (Ca,Sr)2CuO3 and (Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41, due to cation diffusion and stoichiometry changes. The results indicate that it is possible to form the Bi,Pb(2223) phase from a liquid close to equilibrium conditions, like Bi(2212) and Bi(2201), and open new unexplored perspectives for high-quality Ag-sheathed Bi,Pb(2223) tape processing.

Subjects: subject: Non-suicidal self-injury
subject: Personality disorder
subject: Negative self-appraisal

description: Two phases of research used qualitative and quantitative methodology to replicate and extend prior research designed to examine triggers, functions, and predictors of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Phase 1 involved 325 self-harming participants (230 females; M = 21.68 years) and addressed two aims. The first was to identify the triggers and functions of NSSI. It was hypothesised that aversive interpersonal events would be the most common situational triggers of NSSI, and that the most common emotional trigger would be negative affect associated with high physiological arousal. It was also predicted that down-regulation of negative affect would be the most common function of NSSI, and that some participants would report using NSSI to suppress the expression of emotion. Participants endorsed affective triggers and functions of NSSI on checklists designed for the current study, and provided descriptions of their own self-harm episodes. As predicted, aversive interpersonal events were the most common situational triggers of NSSI, down-regulation of negative affect was the most common function, and an expressive suppression function also emerged. However, the hypothesis regarding affective triggers was not supported: The affective trigger most frequently nominated in NSSI descriptions was negative self-appraisal; and, on the checklist of affective triggers, participants endorsed low-arousal negative feelings as triggers as frequently as high-arousal negative feelings. Interestingly, a substantial minority (42.5%) of participants also indicated that they had at least occasionally self-harmed in response to positive emotions.
'Child labour' the state of play : a case study of Changwat Khon Kaen: Thailand
Creators: name: Baker, Simon
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1998

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the concept of 'child labour' in Thailand. Stereotypes of exploited children working in sweatshops and as child prostitutes have hidden the complexities of children's lives. The thesis investigates Thai 'child labour' by examining the lives of both working and non-working children. This thesis is based on quantitative and qualitative data collected in 1996 from four research sites in Changwat Khan Kaen, Thailand: a community in Khon Kaen, a slum connected to that community, and two villages on 18 kilometres and the other 80 kilometres from the city. Thai society has adjusted to major economic developments, technological advances, fertility declines, and new attitudes towards education. Consequently, definitions of a 'child', 'work' and 'child labour' have altered. As a result children's main form of work has become education. Children have not only been influenced by these changes by they have been active in shaping their own lives. They have not been passive 'victims' but often determine where, when and for how long they work. This work, however, differs among children, depending on their age, sex, location, and their socioeconomic status. As families gain wealth children leave the labour force to study. The reasons why children work in the labour force are multifaceted, yet the thesis shows that to reduce the number of children in the workforce poverty has to be reduced.

description: Projective invariance is a symmetry of the Palatini version of General Relativity which is not present in the metric formulation. The fact that the Riemann tensor changes nontrivially under projective transformations implies that, unlike in the usual metric approach, in the Palatini formulation this tensor is subject to a gauge freedom, which allows some ambiguities even in its scalar contractions. In this sense, we show that for the Schwarzschild solution there exists a projective gauge in which the (affine) Kretschmann scalar, $K\equiv {R^α}_{βμν}{R_α}^{βμν}$, can be set to vanish everywhere. This puts forward that the divergence of curvature scalars may, in some cases, be avoided by a gauge transformation of the connection.

Kirlenmiş Suyun Ters Ozmoz ile Arıtılması: Gelişmekte Olan Ülkelerde İnsan İhtiyaçları İçin Temiz Su Sağlamada Etkili Çözüm
Creators: name: Arduç, Galip
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Dünyadaki nüfusun yaklaşık %25'i temiz ve güvenli içme suyuna erişememektedir. Dünyanın birçok bölgesinde tatlı su bulunmasına rağmen, bu su kaynaklarının birçoğu doğal yollarla veya insan faaliyetleriyle kirlenmiştir. İnsan tüketiminin yanı sıra, endüstrilerin de ürün geliştirme ve makine çalıştırma için temiz suya ihtiyacı vardır. Nüfus patlaması ve sanayi genişlemesi ile içme suyu talebi sürekli artmakta ve tatlı su kaynakları kirlenmekte ve kıt hale gelmektedir.

Modern tarım toplumlarında su kirliliği, insan faaliyetlerine bağlı nedenlerden, özellikle sübvansiyonlu tarım kimyasallarının―yapay kimyasal gübreler, pestisitler, fungisitler ve herbisitler―aşırı kullanımına dayanmaktadır. Bu tür yapay kimyasalların kullanımı, dünya çapında birçok değerli su kaynağını kirletmeye devam etmektedir. Ayrıca, yer altı sularının doğal olarak florür, arsenik ve radyoaktif maddelerle kirlendiği bölgeler de bulunmaktadır. İnsan vücudu toksik kimyasalları detoksifiye edip atabilse de, doğal kapasite aşıldığında karaciğer veya böbrekler, ya da her iki organ birden işlevini yitirebilir. Kirli suyun sürekli tüketilmesi durumunda, vücudun eşik değerleri aşıldığında ve koşullar elverişsiz olduğunda, kirleticinin türüne ve toksine bağlı olarak karaciğer, kalp, beyin veya böbrek yetmezliği meydana gelebilir. Bu nedenle, uygun fiyatla temiz ve güvenli su sağlanması sadece giderek daha fazla tanınmakla kalmamakta, aynı zamanda bir insan hakkı olarak da aşırı derecede önemli hale gelmektedir.

Çoğu ev tipi filtreler ve su arıtma yöntemleri sadece partikül maddeyi uzaklaştırır. Geleneksel yöntemler, ev tipi su filtreleri ve hatta ultra-filtrasyon gibi bazı yeni yöntemler, insanlara zarar verebilecek ağır metallerin veya toksik kimyasalların çoğunu sudan uzaklaştıramaz. Bunu, ters ozmoz teknolojisi ve iyon değişim yöntemlerinin kullanımı ile yapılabilir. Doğru tasarlanmış ters ozmoz yöntemleri, tek adımlı bir süreçte potansiyel toksik kirleticilerin %95'inden fazlasını uzaklaştırır. Bu inceleme, ters ozmoz yöntemini basit terimlerle açıklamakta ve bu teknolojinin gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki belirli durumlarda faydalılığını özetlemektedir.

description: In this study, a reliable and efficient residue analytical method to determine dinotefuran and its metabolites [1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl) guanidine (DN) and 1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl) urea (UF)] in wolfberry and soil was established. The mean recoveries from soil and wolfberry matrices ranged from 84.7 to 98.9%, with intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDr) in the range of 0.9–2.5% for three test compounds. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.005 mg kg−1 for dinotefuran, DN, and UF in wolfberry and soil matrices, and the limits of detection (LODs) were 0.0001 mg kg−1 for three compounds in two matrices. The dissipation and residual assay in 2016 with the commercial formulation of dinotefuran • thiamethoxam 30% suspension concentrate (SC) was conducted at four locations of Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Ningxia province. The dissipation rates of dinotefuran were rapid in wolfberry with the half-lives were 1.4–3.1 days. The dissipation in soil were relatively slow with half-lives 7.5–17.4 days. According to the results of dietary risk assessment, the residue of dinotefuran at the recommended dosage is safe for human

description: We study a flow of $G_2$ structures which induce the same Riemannian metric which is the negative gradient flow of an energy functional. We prove Shi-type estimates for the torsion tensor along the flow. We show that at a finite-time singularity the torsion must blow-up, so the flow exists as long as the torsion remains bounded. We prove a Cheeger-Gromov type compactness theorem for the flow. We describe an Uhlenbeck-type trick which together with a modification of the connection gives a nice diffusion-reaction equation for the torsion along the flow. We define a quantity for any solution of the flow and prove that it is almost monotonic along the flow. Inspired by the work of Colding-Minicozzi on the mean curvature flow, we define an entropy functional and after proving an $ε$-regularity theorem, we show that low entropy initial data lead to solutions of the flow which exist for all time and converge smoothly to a $G_2$ structure with divergence free torsion. We also study the finite-time singularities and show that at the singular time the flow converges to a smooth $G_2$ structure outside a closed set of finite 5-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Finally, we prove that if the singularity is of Type-I then a sequence of blow-ups of a solution has a subsequence which converges to a shrinking soliton for the flow.

description: To study the coexistence of two liquid states of water within one simulation box, we implement an equilibrium sedimentation method--which involves applying a gravitational field to the system and measuring/calculating the resulting density profile in equilibrium. We simulate a system of particles interacting via the ST2 potential, a model for water. We detect the coexistence of two liquid phases at low temperature.

description: We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c R there are functions g_n,h_n:R ---> R, n< omega, such that f(x,y)= sum_{n=0}^{infty} g_n(x)h_n(y). Finally, we deal with countably continuous functions and we show that in the Cohen model they are exactly the functions f with the property that (for all U in [R]^{aleph_1})(exists U^* in [U]^{aleph_1}) (f restriction U^* is continuous).

description: Climate change is one of the most important threats to biodiversity and crop sustainability. The impact of climate change is often evaluated on the basis of expected changes in species' geographical distributions. Genomic diversity, local adaptation and migration are seldom integrated into future species projections. Here, we examine how climate change will impact populations of two wild relatives of maize, the teosintes Zea mays ssp. mexicana and Z. mays ssp. parviglumis. Despite high levels of genetic diversity within populations and widespread future habitat suitability, we predict that climate change will alter patterns of local adaptation and decrease migration probabilities in more than two-thirds of present-day teosinte populations. These alterations are geographically heterogeneous and suggest that the possible impacts of climate change will vary considerably among populations. The population-specific effects of climate change also are evident in maize landraces, suggesting that climate change may result in maize landraces becoming maladapted to the climates in which they are currently cultivated. The predicted alterations to habitat distribution, migration potential and patterns of local adaptation in wild and cultivated maize raise a red flag for the future of populations. The heterogeneous nature of predicted populations’ responses underscores that the selective impact of climate change may vary among populations and that this is affected by different processes, including past adaptation.

Statistics of the contact network in frictional and frictionless granular packings

description: Simulated granular packings with different particle friction coefficient mu are examined. The distribution of the particle-particle and particle-wall normal and tangential contact forces P(f) are computed and compared with existing experimental data. Here f equivalent to F/F-bar is the contact force F normalized by the average value F-bar. P(f) exhibits exponential-like decay at large forces, a plateau/peak near f = 1, with additional features at forces smaller than the average that depend on mu. Computations of the force-force spatial distribution function and the contact point radial distribution function indicate that correlations between forces are only weakly dependent on friction and decay rapidly beyond approximately three particle diameters. Distributions of the particle-particle contact angles show that the contact network is not isotropic and only weakly dependent on friction. High force-bearing structures, or force chains, do not play a dominant role in these three dimensional, unloaded packings.

An atom trap trace analysis (ATTA) system for measuring ultra-low contamination by krypton in xenon dark matter detectors

description: The XENON dark matter experiment aims to detect hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) scattering off nuclei within its liquid xenon (LXe) target. The trace 85Kr in the xenon target undergoes beta-decay with a 687 keV end point and 10.8 year halflife, which contributes background events and limits the sensitivity of the experiment. In order to achieve the desired sensitivity, the contamination by krypton is reduced to the part per trillion (ppt) level by cryogenic distillation. The conventional methods are not well suited for measuring the krypton contamination at such a low level. In this work, we have developed an atom trap trace analysis (ATTA) device to detect the ultra-low krypton concentration in the xenon target. This project was proposed to the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) development [Aprile and Zelevinsky, 2009] and is funded by NSF and Columbia University. The ATTA method, originally developed at Argonne National Laboratory, uses standard laser cooling and trapping techniques, and counts single trapped atoms. Since the isotopic abundance of 85Kr in nature is 1.5 × 10^-11, the 85Kr/Xe level is expected to be ~10^-23, which is beyond the capability of our method. Thus we detect the most abundant (57%) isotope 84Kr, and infer the 85Kr contamination from their known abundances. To avoid contamination by krypton, the setup is tested and optimized with 40Ar which has a similar cooling wavelength to 84Kr. Two main challenges in this experiment are to obtain a trapping efficiency high enough to detect krypton impurities at the ppt level, and to achieve the resolution to discriminate single atoms. The device is specially designed and adjusted to meet these challenges. After achieving these criteria with argon gas, we precisely characterize the efficiency of the system using Kr-Xe mixtures with known ratios, and find that ~90 minutes are required to trap one 84Kr atom at the 1-ppt Kr/Xe contamination. This thesis describes the design, construction, and experimental results of the ATTA project at Columbia University.

description: Lipid nanoparticles, known as LNPs, have been the primary delivery system used in mRNA vaccines. Past studies have proposed that the innate reactogenicity of LNPs is responsible for producing the vaccine’s adaptive immune response. However, it has not been clear whether the main drive for the adaptive immune response is due to the adjuvant properties of LNPs in the muscle or the delivery of the formulation to the secondary lymphatic organs.
The experiments in this thesis have revealed that the delivery and transfection of mRNA in the secondary lymphoid organs are the primary drivers for producing adaptive immune responses in mice. This study will help us design an mRNA delivery system that targets these organs for a better vaccine response.

description: At intermediate to high densities, electron (de-)excitation collisions are the dominant process for populating or depopulating high Rydberg states. In particular, the accurate knowledge of the energy changing ($n$-changing) collisional rates is determinant for predicting the radio recombination spectra of gaseous nebula. The different datasets present in the literature come either from impact parameter calculations or semi-empirical fits and the rate coefficients agree within a factor of two. We show in this paper that these uncertainties cause errors lower than 5% in the emission of radio recombination lines (RRL) of most ionized plasmas of typical nebulae. However, in special circumstances where the transitions between Rydberg levels are amplified by maser effects, the errors can increase up to 20%. We present simulations of the optical depth and H$nα$ line emission of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) Broad Line Regions (BLRs) and the Orion Nebula Blister to showcase our findings.

description: How does the European Union (EU) perform in international financial regulation? According to various scholars the global financial architecture has been shaped by the USA and the EU. But whereas the USA is without doubt the dominant actor or even described as hegemon in writing the rules for the global political economy and global financial markets, the EU seems to be a special kind of actor. The European Union is not only one of the biggest single financial markets in the world but also has become one of the largest financial jurisdictions in the last decade. Despite this huge market size the EU’s representation in institutions of the global financial regulation is quite low. Hence the direct EU impact on global financial regulation is often seen as weak or the EU is perceived rather as a forum than an actor. Given the debate on the external actorness of the EU global financial regulation is an interesting case for evaluating the EU’s actorness in fields, where the EU has competences like anti-money laundering and setting accounting standards. In the paper I applied the managed globalization doctrine in order to analyze the EU’s performance in those fields. The evidence illustrates that even in the fields, where the EU have regulatory competencies, the European Union is not able or willing to shape the global regulation.
