description: We present optical and near-IR linear polarimetry of V404 Cyg during its 2015 outburst and in quiescence. We obtained time resolved r'-band polarimetry when the source was in outburst, near-IR polarimetry when the source was near quiescence and multiple wave-band optical polarimetry later in quiescence. The optical to near-IR linear polarization spectrum can be described by interstellar dust and an intrinsic variable component. The intrinsic optical polarization, detected during the rise of one of the brightest flares of the outburst, is variable, peaking at 4.5 per cent and decaying to 3.5 per cent. We present several arguments that favour a synchrotron jet origin to this variable polarization, with the optical emission originating close to the jet base. The polarization flare occurs during the initial rise of a major radio flare event that peaks later, and is consistent with a classically evolving synchrotron flare from an ejection event. We conclude that the optical polarization flare represents a jet launching event; the birth of a major ejection. For this event we measure a rather stable polarization position angle of -9 degrees E of N, implying that the magnetic field near the base of the jet is approximately perpendicular to the jet axis. This may be due to the compression of magnetic field lines in shocks in the accelerated plasma, resulting in a partially ordered transverse field that have now been seen during the 2015 outburst. We also find that this ejection occurred at a similar stage in the repetitive cycles of flares.

description: In this work we present first results on vector and axial-vector meson spectral functions as obtained by applying the non-perturbative functional renormalization group approach to an effective low-energy theory motivated by the gauged linear sigma model. By using a recently proposed analytic continuation method, we study the in-medium behavior of the spectral functions of the $ρ$ and $a_1$ mesons in different regimes of the phase diagram. In particular, we demonstrate explicitly how these spectral functions degenerate at high temperatures as well as at large chemical potentials, as a consequence of the restoration of chiral symmetry. In addition, we also compute the momentum dependence of the $ρ$ and $a_1$ spectral functions and discuss the various time-like and space-like processes that can occur.

description: We study a multimode optomechanical system where two mechanical oscillators are coupled to an electromagnetic cavity. Previously it has been shown that if the mechanical resonances have nearly equal frequencies, one can make the oscillators to interact via the cavity by strong pumping with a coherent pump tone. One can view the interaction also as emergence of an electromagnetically dark mode which gets asymptotically decoupled from the cavity and has a linewidth much smaller than that of the bare cavity. The narrow linewidth and long lifetime of the dark mode could be advantageous for example in information storage and processing. Here we investigate the possibility to create dark modes dynamically using two pump tones. We show that if the mechanical frequencies are intrinsically different, one can bring the mechanical oscillators and the cavity on-resonance and thus create a dark mode by double sideband pumping of the cavity. We realize the scheme in a microwave optomechanical device employing two drum oscillators with unmatched frequencies, ω_1 /2π = 8.1MHz and ω_2 /2π = 14.2MHz. We also observe a breakdown of the rotating-wave approximation, most pronounced in another device where the mechanical frequencies are close to each other.

description: The major part of the liability of an insurance company's balance belongs to the reserves. Reserves are built to pay for all future, known or unknown, claims that happened so far. Hence an accurate prediction of the outstanding claims to determine the reserve is important. For non-life insurance companies, Mack (1993) proposed a distribution-free approach to calculate the first two moments of the reserve. In this cumulative dissertation, we derive first asymptotic theory for the unconditional and conditional limit distribution of the reserve risk. Therefore, we enhance the assumptions from Mack's model and derive a fully stochastic framework. The distribution of the reserve risk can be split up into two additive random parts covering the process and parameter uncertainty. The process uncertainty part dominates asymptotically and is in general non-Gaussian distributed unconditional and conditional on the whole observed loss triangle or the last observed diagonal of the loss triangle. In contrast, the parameter uncertainty part is measurable with respect to the whole observed upper loss triangle. Properly inflated, the parameter uncertainty part is Gaussian distributed conditional on the last observed diagonal of the loss triangle, and unconditional, it leads to a non-Gaussian distribution. Hence, the parameter uncertainty part is asymptotically negligible. In total, the reserve risk has asymptotically the same distribution as the process uncertainty part since this part dominates asymptotically leading to a non-Gaussian distribution conditional and unconditional. Using the theoretical asymptotic distribution results regarding the distribution of the reserve risk, we can now establish bootstrap consistency results, where the derived distribution of the reserve risk serves as a benchmark. Splitting the reserve risk into two additive parts enables a rigorous investigation of the validity of the Mack bootstrap. If the parametric family of distributions of the individual development factors is correctly specified, we prove that the (conditional) distribution of the asymptotically dominating process uncertainty part is correctly mimicked by the proposed Mack bootstrap approach. On the contrary, the corresponding (conditional) distribution of the estimation uncertainty part is generally not correctly captured by the Mack bootstrap. To address this issue, we propose an alternative Mack bootstrap, which uses a different centering and is designed to capture also the distribution of the estimation uncertainty part correctly.

description: We present the first image of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) obtained by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Combining 7-m and 12-m arrays in Band 3, we create an SZE map toward a galaxy cluster RXJ1347.5-1145 with 5 arc-second resolution (corresponding to the physical size of 20 kpc/h), the highest angular and physical spatial resolutions achieved to date for imaging the SZE, while retaining extended signals out to 40 arc-seconds. The 1-sigma statistical sensitivity of the image is 0.017 mJy/beam or 0.12 mK_CMB at the 5 arc-second full width at half maximum. The SZE image shows a good agreement with an electron pressure map reconstructed independently from the X-ray data and offers a new probe of the small-scale structure of the intracluster medium. Our results demonstrate that ALMA is a powerful instrument for imaging the SZE in compact galaxy clusters with unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity. As the first report on the detection of the SZE by ALMA, we present detailed analysis procedures including corrections for the missing flux, to provide guiding methods for analyzing and interpreting future SZE images by ALMA.

Marvel Cinematic Universe's Effects on the Audience Habits and Expectations

Subjects: marvel cinematic universe, cinema, convergence, transmedia, audience studies

description: Marvel Cinematic Universe has been producing blockbusters in a regular basis since its establishment in 2008. The success of the studio is mostly linked to its narrative form shaped around the concepts of convergence and transmedia. Throughout staging the same characters in different films, moreover in tv series or comic books, following the events happened and displaying its effects on both characters and the environment, MCU has been creating a superior narrative flow which had a binding effect on between the audience and the universe. This affection reveals itself within such as shopping tendencies or in ways of self-expression, but mostly it is directly manipulating and changing the audience habits regarding the cinema and their expectation from the medium. The fans are creating intense bounds with the characters, and they expect them to display in various films or tv series, included in the universe, even though the character is not the lead. Disney or Marvel Studios in particular is supplying to these demands reasonably and as a result studio is leading the sector with a fine margin. Within last few years, the biggest production companies are following this example and trying to create blockbusters with old and new titles but ultimately, in an integrated universe. Therefore, Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed and keeps changing the audience expectations and inevitably the cinema sector, through its newly found narrative form.

description: This dissertation explores the relevance of the measurement of inequality in education, in terms of the theoretical and methodological decisions involved and the consequences of these decisions for research. Specifically, this dissertation investigates the correlations between several measures of inequality in achievement and social categories indicators, exploring how research on the effects of school differentiation is affected by the particular measurement of inequality. The main thesis is that the term inequality hides several conceptualizations, each implying different theoretical and normative frameworks with different sets of metrics, leading to different empirical results. The conceptualizations and measurements of inequality are divided into three categories: dispersion inequality, social inequality, and adequacy. I also study social segregation across schools, offering it as an alternative outcome to the common focus on achievement. This dissertation is composed of five articles divided into two parts. In each article, I make use of international large-scale assessments and present comparative analyses. The first part of the dissertation explores the concept of social inequality, offering more detailed analysis of its measurement and the relationship between socioeconomic, immigration, and gender inequalities. The second part of the dissertation explores the effects of between-school tracking on several measures of inequality, and on segregation. The dissertation offers further insights regarding challenges and limitations, such as effect identification, doing low-N analyses, and working with international data. Overall, the dissertation illustrates how the measurement of inequality and related concepts affects results. Each concept of inequality and segregation requires different evaluation frameworks, with low correlation across conceptualizations and different results depending on the inequality measurement studied. Researchers should rationalize and explicitly identify the framework underlying their studies of inequality and segregation.
Polarized synchrotron emission in quiescent black hole X-ray transients

description: We present near-infrared polarimetric observations of the black hole X-ray binaries Swift J1357.2-0933 and A0620-00. In both sources, recent studies have demonstrated the presence of variable infrared synchrotron emission in quiescence, most likely from weak compact jets. For Swift J1357.2-0933 we find that the synchrotron emission is polarized at a level of 8.0 +- 2.5 per cent (a 3.2 sigma detection of intrinsic polarization). The mean magnitude and rms variability of the flux (fractional rms of 19-24 per cent in K_s-band) agree with previous observations. These properties imply a continuously launched (stable on long timescales), highly variable (on short timescales) jet in the Swift J1357.2-0933 system in quiescence, which has a moderately tangled magnetic field close to the base of the jet. We find that for A0620-00, there are likely to be three components to the optical-infrared polarization; interstellar dust along the line of sight, scattering within the system, and an additional source that changes the polarization position angle in the reddest (H and K_s) wave-bands. We interpret this as a stronger contribution of synchrotron emission, and by subtracting the line-of-sight polarization, we measure an excess of ~ 1.25 +- 0.28 per cent polarization and a position angle of the magnetic field vector that is consistent with being parallel with the axis of the resolved radio jet. These results imply that weak jets in low luminosity accreting systems have magnetic fields which possess similarly tangled fields compared to the more luminous, hard state jets in X-ray binaries.

description: Spin-wave propagation in an assembly of microfabricated 20 nm thick, 2.5 μm wide Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) waveguides is studied using propagating spin-wave spectroscopy (PSWS) and phase resolved micro-focused Brillouin Light Scattering (μ-BLS) spectroscopy. We show that spin-wave propagation in 50 parallel waveguides is robust against microfabrication induced imperfections. Spin-wave propagation parameters are studied in a wide range of excitation frequencies for the Damon-Eshbach (DE) configuration. As expected from its low damping, YIG allows the propagation of spin waves over long distances (the attenuation lengths is 25 μm at μ$_{0}$H = 45 mT). Direct mapping of spin waves by μ-BLS allows us to reconstruct the spin-wave dispersion relation and to confirm the multi-mode propagation in the waveguides, glimpsed by propagating spin-wave spectroscopy.

description: Valley, as a degree of freedom, has been exploited to realize valley-selective Hall transport and circular dichroism in two-dimensional layered materials. On the other hand, orbital angular momentum of light with helical phase distribution has attracted great attention for its unprecedented opportunity to optical communicagtions, atom trapping, and even nontrivial topology engineering. Here, we reveal valley-contrasting orbital angular momentum in all-dielectric photonic valley crystals. Selective excitation of valley chiral bulk states is realized by sources carrying orbital angular momentum with proper chirality. Valley dependent edge states, predictable by nonzero valley Chern number, enable to suppress the inter-valley scattering along zigzag boundary, leading to broadband robust transmission in Z-shape bend without corner morphological optimization. Our work may open up a new door towards the discovery of novel quantum states and the manipulation of spin-orbit interaction of light in nanophotonics.

description: Magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun and stars in general imprint or modify the polarization state of the electromagnetic radiation that is leaving from the star. The inference of solar/stellar magnetic fields is performed by detecting, studying and modeling polarized light from the target star. In this review we present an overview of techniques that are used to study the atmosphere of the Sun, and particularly those that allow to infer magnetic fields. We have combined a small selection of theory on polarized radiative transfer, inversion techniques and we discuss a number of results from chromospheric inversions.

description: Homogenization of a thin micro-structure yields effective jump conditions that incorporate the geometrical features of the scatterers. These jump conditions apply across a thin but nonzero thickness interface whose interior is disregarded. This paper aims (i) to propose a numerical method able to handle the jump conditions in order to simulate the homogenized problem in the time domain, (ii) to inspect the validity of the homogenized problem when compared to the real one. For this purpose, we adapt an immersed interface method originally developed for standard jump conditions across a zero-thickness interface. Doing so allows us to handle arbitrary-shaped interfaces on a Cartesian grid with the same efficiency and accuracy of the numerical scheme than those obtained in an homogeneous medium. Numerical experiments are performed to test the properties of the numerical method and to inspect the validity of the homogenization problem.

Here we show that it is also able to produce a running of the running $n_s"$ positive and within the Planck data limits. This is very remarkable since the standard cold inflation model is unable to justify the current indication of a positive constraint on $n_s"$. We achieve a parameterization for the primordial power spectrum able to take into account higher order effects as the running of the spectral index and the running of the running, and we perform statistical analysis using the most up-to-date Planck data to constrain the dissipative effects. We find that the warm inflation can explain the current observables with a good statistical significance, even for those potentials ruled out in the simplest cold inflation scenario.

On Film as an Ethical Tool
Creators: name: Col, Doga
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The possibility that a work of film can offer philosophical knowledge has recently been much discussed and researched, especially with the contributions of Thomas Wartenberg. Although it seems impossible to think of philosophy without a written or spoken language, it has been shown that film can contribute to philosophical research from two different perspectives. It may also be argued that a work of film can be considered a philosophical work in its own right. I will try and discuss whether a work of film can be an ethical tool and what the implications or limitations of this might be. My aim is to examine the consequences of using the film work as a tool, of detaching the work from its artistic character. The alternative is to consider the work of film as a work in its own right, like any other work of art, and from this point of view to arrive at some ethical evaluations or problems. Wartenberg, on the other hand, advocates a more moderate film-philosophy. Wartenberg argues that films can be considered both as works of art and as works of philosophy. It is quite obvious that works of film can explicitly express philosophical ideas, since everything involving human beings has this possibility. However, the idea of a film work being able to philosophically address a purely ethical problem can become more complex and this approach can lead to a conceptual shift. It is therefore necessary to rethink the concepts and clearly frame in what sense a film can and cannot be an activity of philosophy, or in what sense a work of film can be a philosophical activity analogous to a written work of philosophy.

description: Characterizing how entanglement grows with time in a many-body system, for example after a quantum quench, is a key problem in non-equilibrium quantum physics. We study this problem for the case of random unitary dynamics, representing either Hamiltonian evolution with time--dependent noise or evolution by a random quantum circuit. Our results reveal a universal structure behind noisy entanglement growth, and also provide simple new heuristics for the `entanglement tsunami' in Hamiltonian systems without noise. In 1D, we show that noise causes the entanglement entropy across a cut to grow according to the celebrated Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation. The mean entanglement grows linearly in time, while fluctuations grow like $(\text{time})^{1/3}$ and are spatially correlated over a distance $\propto (\text{time})^{2/3}$. We derive KPZ universal behaviour in three complementary ways, by mapping random entanglement growth to: (i) a stochastic model of a growing surface; (ii) a `minimal cut' picture, reminiscent of the Ryu--Takayanagi formula in holography; and (iii) a hydrodynamic problem involving the dynamical spreading of operators. We demonstrate KPZ universality in 1D numerically using simulations of random unitary circuits. Importantly, the leading order time dependence of the entropy is deterministic even in the presence of noise, allowing us to propose a simple `minimal cut' picture for the entanglement growth of generic Hamiltonians, even without noise, in arbitrary dimensionality. We clarify the meaning of the `velocity' of entanglement growth in the 1D `entanglement tsunami'. We show that in higher dimensions, noisy entanglement evolution maps to the well-studied problem of pinning of a membrane or domain wall by disorder.

description: The magnetic properties of zig-zag graphene nanoflakes (ZGNF) are investigated within the framework of the dynamical mean-field theory. At half-filling and for realistic values of the local interaction, the ZGNF is in a fully compensated antiferromagnetic (AF) state, which is found to be robust against temperature fluctuations. Introducing charge carriers in the AF background drives the ZGNF metallic and stabilizes a magnetic state with a net uncompensated moment at low temperature. The change in magnetism is ascribed to the delocalization of the doped holes in the proximity of the edges, which mediate ferromagnetic correlations between the localized magnetic moments. Depending on the hole concentration, the magnetic transition may display a pronounced hysteresis over a wide range of temperature, indicating the coexistence of magnetic states with different symmetry. This suggests the possibility of achieving the electrostatic control of the magnetic state of ZGNFs to realize a switchable spintronic device.

description: In pulsar timing, timing residuals are the differences between the observed times of arrival and the predictions from the timing model. A comprehensive timing model will produce featureless residuals, which are presumably composed of dominating noise and weak physical effects excluded from the timing model (e.g. gravitational waves). In order to apply the optimal statistical methods for detecting the weak gravitational wave signals, we need to know the statistical properties of the noise components in the residuals. In this paper we utilize a variety of non-parametric statistical tests to analyze the whiteness and Gaussianity of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) 5-year timing data which are obtained from the Arecibo Observatory and the Green Bank Telescope from 2005 to 2010 (Demorest et al. 2013). We find that most of the data are consistent with white noise; Many data deviate from Gaussianity at different levels, nevertheless, removing outliers in some pulsars will mitigate the deviations.

description: Newspapers have responsibility to strengthen democracy, through political reportage and convergences. Thus, this paper examined newspaper framing and University of Uyo students’ perception of The Gambian political conflict. The study aims at ascertaining patterns of newspaper framing of the political conflict; to determine the dominant frame the newspapers employed in the coverage and ascertain the influence of newspaper framing of The Gambian political conflict on the audience. The survey and content analysis methods were used for the study. The study made use of two populations, the first comprised of undergraduates of the University of Uyo amounting to 15,524, and the second was three national dailies: The Guardian, The punch and Vanguard, published between 1st of December 2016 and 31st of January, 2017, amounting to 180 issues. The study found that the selected newspapers used 8 frames in the coverage and political frame dominated the frame pattern of the political conflict in The Gambia. Also, the application of frames by the 3 newspapers in their coverage of the conflict made the stories simple and interpretative, thus helping the Uni Uyo students to understand the issue clearly. The study affirmed that frames have a way of influencing the perceptions of the audience to think towards a particular direction, assisting them rely on such information and provide possible solutions to a problem. The study recommended that newspapers in Nigeria should employ more frame especially positive frame in reporting conflict situations. This will facilitates peaceful resolution of such conflict.
A novel approach for identifying host galaxies of nearby FRBs

description: We report on a search for host galaxies of a subset of Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) that possess a dispersion measure (DM) near or above the maximum Galactic value in their direction. These RRATs could have an extragalactic origin and therefore be Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The sizes of related galaxies on the sky at such short distances are comparable to the beam size of a single-dish telescope (for example, the $7.0'$ radius of the Parkes beam). Hence the association, if found, could be more definitive as compared to finding host galaxies for more distant FRBs. We did not find any host galaxy associated with six RRATs near the maximum Galactic DM. This result is consistent with the fact that the probability of finding an FRB host galaxy within this volume is also very small. We propose that future follow-up observations of such RRATs be carried out in searching for local host galaxies as well as the sources of FRBs.

description: The Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem is a cornerstone of social choice theory, stating that an onto social choice function cannot be both strategy-proof and non-dictatorial if the number of alternatives is at least three. The Duggan-Schwartz theorem proves an analogue in the case of set-valued elections: if the function is onto with respect to singletons, and can be manipulated by neither an optimist nor a pessimist, it must have a weak dictator. However, the assumption that the function is onto with respect to singletons makes the Duggan-Schwartz theorem inapplicable to elections which necessarily select a committee with multiple members. In this paper we make a start on this problem by considering elections which elect a committee of size two (such as the consulship of ancient Rome). We establish that if such a consular election rule cannot be expressed as the union of two disjoint social choice functions, then strategy-proofness implies the existence of a dictator. Although we suspect that a similar result holds for larger sized committees, there appear to be many obstacles to proving it, which we discuss in detail.

description: We introduce delays in a tuberculosis (TB) model, representing the time delay on the diagnosis and commencement of treatment of individuals with active TB infection. The stability of the disease free and endemic equilibriums is investigated for any time delay. Corresponding optimal control problems, with time delays in both state and control variables, are formulated and studied. Although it is well-known that there is a delay between two to eight weeks between TB infection and reaction of body's immune system to tuberculin, delays for the active infected to be detected and treated, and delays on the treatment of persistent latent individuals due to clinical and patient reasons, which clearly justifies the introduction of time delays on state and control measures, our work seems to be the first to consider such time-delays for TB and apply time-delay optimal control to carry out the optimality analysis.
