Creators: name: Yu, Xian-Qiao
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the nucleon electromagnetic form factors in a quark-gluon core model framework, which can be viewed as an extension of the Isgur-Karl model of baryons. Using this picture we derive nucleon electromagnetic dipole form factors at low Q^2 and the deviation from the dipole form at high Q^2, that are consistent with the existing experimental data.

description: We study the Nernst effect due to vortex motion in two-dimensional granular superconductors using simulations with Langevin or resistively shunted Josephson-junction dynamics. In particular, we show that the geometric frustration of both regular and irregular granular materials can lead to thermally driven transport of vortices from colder to hotter regions, resulting in a sign reversal of the Nernst signal. We discuss the underlying mechanisms of this anomalous behavior in terms of heat transport by mobile vacancies in an otherwise pinned vortex lattice.

description: We present a determination of the parton distributions of the nucleon from a global set of hard scattering data using the NNPDF methodology: NNPDF2.0. Experimental data include deep-inelastic scattering with the combined HERA-I dataset, fixed target Drell-Yan production, collider weak boson production and inclusive jet production. Next-to-leading order QCD is used throughout without resorting to K-factors. We present and utilize an improved fast algorithm for the solution of evolution equations and the computation of general hadronic processes. We introduce improved techniques for the training of the neural networks which are used as parton parametrization, and we use a novel approach for the proper treatment of normalization uncertainties. We assess quantitatively the impact of individual datasets on PDFs. We find very good consistency of all datasets with each other and with NLO QCD, with no evidence of tension between datasets. Some PDF combinations relevant for LHC observables turn out to be determined rather more accurately than in any other parton fit.

Was Australian Antarctica Won Fairly?
Creators: name: Barrett, ND
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Winning of Australian Antarctica (A. Grenfell Price) described the Douglas Mawson led British Australian New Zealand Research Expedition (BANZARE) and the contest to claim Antarctic territory ahead of Norway. Norwegian versions of this contest, by Bjarne Aagaard and Hans Bogen, were critical of Mawson and Australia's claim to a sector of Antarctica west to 45o E. By investigating the historical drivers that led Norway and Britain to the contest, this thesis establishes, through the consideration of official documents, the reasons for it and whether or not Australian Antarctica was won fairly. Norway's inexperience in diplomacy and foreign affairs, after gaining independence from Sweden in 1905, alerted Britain to the value of whaling in the Antarctic region and resulted in Britain annexing territory to create the Falkland Islands Dependencies and the Ross Dependency. As he was restricted by British whaling regulations, the Norwegian whaling magnate Lars Christensen sought territory free of British control. This led to Norway claiming Bouvet Island which the British believed was theirs. Britain, with the stated desire to include the whole of Antarctica in the British Empire, formulated processes to achieve this in Eastern Antarctica at the 1926 Imperial Conference in London. The process was specifically developed to thwart attempts by other nations to claim the same territory. This was achieved by omitting vital geographic coordinates from the published conference summary, an omission that favoured the BANZARE in proclaiming territory from 45o E to 160o E for Britain. To remove a possible Norwegian challenge for the territory, Britain agreed to relinquish its claim to Bouvet Island in return for Norwegian recognition of British hegemony in Antarctica.
American Food Prices and Supplies in Relation to War Conditions

description: Excerpts: The advance in food prices at the outbreak of the European war was due in part to unwarranted fears that food supplies available to consumers in the United States might become scarce, and in part to well-founded expectations that the demand for some foodstuffs would increase. Undoubtedly there would have been some advances in food prices even without the outbreak of the war. The prices of many foods had been low on account of large supplies and low purchasing power. Industrial activity was increasing, thus increasing payrolls and the purchasing power of laborers, and this would have increased the prices of some foodstuffs in the latter half of 1939. Fears as to absolute or even relative scarcity of foodstuffs in the United States were unfounded. The realization of this has caused prices of some products to decline after a few weeks of advancing. The outstanding case of unfounded fears and panic purchasing was that of sugar.

description: We show that curvature perturbations acquire a scale invariant spectrum for any constant equation of state, provided the fluid has a suitably time-dependent sound speed. In order for modes to exit the physical horizon, and in order to solve the usual problems of standard big bang cosmology, we argue that the only allowed possibilities are inflationary (albeit not necessarily slow-roll) expansion or ekpyrotic contraction. Non-Gaussianities offer many distinguish features. As usual with a small sound speed, non-Gaussianity can be relatively large, around current sensitivity levels. For DBI-like lagrangians, the amplitude is negative in the inflationary branch, and can be either negative or positive in the ekpyrotic branch. Unlike the power spectrum, the three-point amplitude displays a large tilt that, in the expanding case, peaks on smallest scales. While the shape is predominantly of the equilateral type in the inflationary branch, as in DBI inflation, it is of the local form in the ekpyrotic branch. The tensor spectrum is also generically far from scale invariant. In the contracting case, for instance, tensors are strongly blue tilted, resulting in an unmeasurably small gravity wave amplitude on cosmic microwave background scales.

Mapping the progression of non-carious cervical lesions
Creators: name: Grenness, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Non-carious cervical lesion' (NCCL) is a term used to describe loss of hard tissue in the cervical one-third of teeth. NCCLs are commonly encountered in dental practice and frequently require clinical intervention. There are few reports of high quality mapping and monitoring of NCCLs, and dental practitioners currently have no reliable method for measuring and monitoring their progress. Improved understanding of the underlying causes and progression of NCCLs will rely on reliable and practical methods of mapping their topography and monitoring their progress. NCCLs on the facial surfaces of teeth can be easily imaged, either directly or on cast replicas, and therefore may be well suited to mapping using a photogrammetric approach. A preliminary investigation led to the development of a casting material that incorporated optical texture so that photogrammetric image-matching techniques could be utilized. Three-dimensional coordinate data for tooth replicas was successfully generated using the casting material, convergent stereoscopic photography and commercial digital photogrammetric software. Imaging was performed initially using a semi-metric 35 mm film camera, then a high-resolution digital SLR camera, and finally a fixed-base digital SLR stereo camera. The quality of the surface data and the capacity to align tooth surfaces was investigated. Two specific examples of NCCLs were mapped and monitored at baseline, 12 month and 24 month time periods. For the film camera and the single digital camera, the photogrammetric solutions were not highly stable, with systematic height errors of up to 80 ˜í¬¿m attributed to unstable exterior orientation. However, for the fixed-base stereo camera, model precision was shown to be in the order of 13 ˜í¬¿m and the accuracy of surfaces derived from automatic measurement was approximately 3 ˜í¬¿m. The error associated with aligning independent measurements of tooth surfaces was approximately 17 ˜í¬¿m. Change detection of the two NCCL surfaces was sensitive to 30 ˜í¬¿m, with change ranging from 30 to 320 ˜í¬¿m per annum for one surface and 30 to 70 ˜í¬¿m per annum for the second surface. Different rates of change were clearly evident in different areas of the same surfaces. The replication, stereoimagery, photogrammetric processing, and detection of changes to the surfaces were shown to be reliable and convenient. The results of this investigation show that stereo-photogrammetric techniques can be applied to the mapping of NCCLs, and that the surfaces can be mapped at sufficient accuracy to enable change to be monitored. The two examples suggest that annual change detection studies will provide a clearer picture of the rate of progression and the geometry of progression and, in combination with other analytical techniques, a more detailed explanation of the natural history of non carious cervical lesions.

description: The transport properties, upper critical fields, superconducting anisotropy, and critical current density in an iso-valent phosphorus-doped BaFe2As2 single crystal close to optimum doping are investigated in this report. Temperature dependent resistivity and susceptibility show a superconducting transition temperature, Tc, just below 31 K both with sharp transitions. The upper critical field parallel to the ab-plane, Hc2^ab, is above 77 Tesla while that along the c-axis direction, Hc2^c, is just above 36 Tesla, yielding a low superconducting anisotropy ratio ~ 2. The estimated inter-plane coherence length based on the Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) theory indicates BaFe2(As0.68P0.32)2 is still above the point for a dimensional crossover inferring the superconducting layers are not weakly-coupled in this system. The critical current density at 5 K obtained from magnetization loops measurement show a modest Jc as high as 10^5 A/cm2.

description: The interface between indium tin oxide and p-type silicon is studied by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This is done by performing XPS without breaking vacuum after deposition of ultrathin layers in sequences. Elemental tin and indium are shown to be present at the interface, both after 2 and 10 s of deposition. In addition, the silicon oxide layer at the interface is shown to be composed of mainly silicon suboxides rather than silicon dioxide.

description: The ‘nature positive’ paradigm represents an ambitious and transformative agenda in global sustainability, advocating for a world where human activities actively enhance biodiversity whilst equitably advancing human prosperity. This concept has garnered support from leading global institutions, businesses, and policymakers, as evidenced by the G7's ‘2030 Nature Compact’ and the Kunming-Montreal Agreement. These developments reflect a growing recognition of the deep interdependence between human prosperity and ecological health. Yet, the application of practical ‘nature positive’ strategies is challenging particularly the development and application of robust indicators to measure progress and ensure equitable implementation across variable socio-economic contexts. The primary socio-political obstacle lies in the continued prioritization of immediate economic gains and consumer habits over the planet's long-term environmental and economic well-being. This trajectory exacerbates the looming ecological and climatic crisis. As the ‘nature-positive’ concept gains momentum, it invites a comprehensive re-evaluation of our relationship with nature, highlighting the imperative for a harmonious coexistence between economic development and ecological restoration. The journey towards a ‘nature positive’ future is not only a conservationist pursuit but a necessary evolution towards a sustainable and resilient global economy, crucial for the well-being and future generations.
Strange stars with different quark mass scalings

description: We investigate the stability of strange quark matter and the properties of the corresponding strange stars, within a wide range of quark mass scaling. The calculation shows that the resulting maximum mass always lies between 1.5 solor mass and 1.8 solor mass for all the scalings chosen here. Strange star sequences with a linear scaling would support less gravitational mass, and a change (increase or decrease) of the scaling around the linear scaling would lead to a larger maximum mass. Radii invariably decrease with the mass scaling. Then the larger the scaling, the faster the star might spin. In addition, the variation of the scaling would cause an order of magnitude change of the strong electric field on quark surface, which is essential to support possible crusts of strange stars against gravity and may then have some astrophysical implications.

Some effects of methallibure (I.C.I. 33828) on the stickleback : Gasterosteus aculeatus L.
Creators: name: Carew, Barbara Agnes Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Treatment of male sticklebacks with methallibure brings about a marked reduction in the level of prespawning aggressiveness. Gametogenesis in the testes of the testes of the treated fish is slowed down so that after 30-38 days of treatment most testes contain spermatozoa and spermatogonia while the testes of the controls are more mature and contain spermatocytes and spermatozoa or spermatozoa only. Forty-nine days of treatment result in testes with spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatozoa, control testes are completely mature and contain only spermatozoa. Methallibure causes no significant increase in thyroid epithelial cell height evidence that the I.C.I. compound is not having a direct goitrogenic effect such as is found when fish are immersed in a solution of thiourea. The adenohypophysis of methallibure treated fish contains less basophilic material than that of untreated controls.
PSEUDO-LABEL BASED SUPERVISED CONTRASTIVE LOSS FOR ROBUST SPEECH REPRESENTATIONS

Year: 2023

description: The self supervised learning (SSL) of speech, with discrete tokenization (pseudo-labels), while illustrating performance improvements in low-resource speech recognition, has faced challenges in achieving context invariant and noise robust representations. In this paper,we propose a self-supervised framework based on contrastive loss of the pseudo-labels, obtained from an offline k-means quantizer (tokenizer). We refer to the proposed setting as pseudo-con. The pseudocon loss, within a batch of training, allows the model to cluster theinstances of the same pseudo-label while separating the instances of a different pseudo-label. The proposed pseudo-con loss can also be combined with the cross entropy loss, commonly used in selfsupervised learning schemes. We demonstrate the effectiveness ofthe pseudo-con loss applied for various SSL techniques, like hidden unit bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (HuBERT), best random quantizer (BEST-RQ) and hidden unit clustering (HUC).

Year: 2023

description: Background—We report two procedures using a stent-assisted microsurgical clip placement to treat complex intracranial aneurysms originating from supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery.Case Descriptions—In both procedures, primary clip placement was considered technically difficult dueto either complex morphology or inferior protrusion of aneurysm fundus within the interclinoid space. Anitinol self-expanding stent was placed across the neck of the aneurysm either preoperatively or intraoperatively. Obliteration of aneurysm and patency of the artery was confirmed by angiography after clip placement.Conclusion—Description of an integrated open microsurgical and endovascular approach and review ofliterature pertaining to considerations for treatment approach are discussed.

description: In situ photoemission spectroscopy experiments are used to characterize the interface between ZnTe and the wide band gap p-type semiconductor BaCuSeF. The contact is characterized by a null valence-band offset, a large conduction-band offset, and a chemically graded interface. By applying the transitivity rule for band offset and on the basis of similarities in chemical composition, BaCuSeF contact to chalcogenide photovoltaic absorber materials would be expected to have similar properties. By extension, BaCuChF (Ch=S,Se,Te) materials are suitable as p-layers in p-i-n double-heterojunction solar cells fabricated with CdTe, Cu(InGa)Se₂, and Cu₂ZnSnS₄ absorbers.
Three types of superpotentials for perturbations in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Creators: name: Petrov, A. N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Superpotentials (antisymmetric tensor densities) in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity for arbitrary types of perturbations on arbitrary curved backgrounds are constructed. As a basis, the generalized conservation laws in the framework of an arbitrary D-dimensional metric theory, where conserved currents are expressed through divergences of superpotentials, are used. Such a derivation is exact (perturbations are not infinitesimal) and is approached, when a one solution (dynamical) is considered as a perturbed system with respect to another solution (background). Three known prescriptions are elaborated: these are the canonical Nœther theorem, the Belinfante symmetrization rule and the field-theoretical derivation. All the three approaches are presented in an unique way convenient for comparisons and a development. Exact expressions for the 01-component of the three types of the superpotentials are derived in the case, when an arbitrary static Schwarzschild-like solution in the EGB gravity is considered as a perturbed system with respect to a background of the same type. These formulae are used for calculating the mass of the Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black hole in the EGB gravity. As a background both the anti-de Sitter spacetime in arbitrary dimensions and a not maximally symmetric "mass gap" vacuum in 5 dimensions are considered. Problems and perspectives for a future development, including the Lovelock gravity, are discussed.

An Improved Metric of Informational Masking for Perceptual Audio Quality Measurement

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Perceptual audio quality measurement systems algorithmically analyze the output of audio processing systems to estimate possible perceived quality degradation using perceptual models of human audition. In this manner, they save the time and resources associated with the design and execution of listening tests (LTs). Models of disturbance audibility predicting peripheral auditory masking in quality measurement systems have considerably increased subjective quality prediction performance of signals processed by perceptual audio codecs. Additionally, cognitive effects have also been known to regulate perceived distortion severity by influencing their salience. However, the performance gains due to cognitive effect models in quality measurement systems were inconsistent so far, particularly for music signals. Firstly, this paper presents an improved model of informational masking (IM) -- an important cognitive effect in quality perception -- that considers disturbance information complexity around the masking threshold. Secondly, we incorporate the proposed IM metric into a quality measurement systems using a novel interaction analysis procedure between cognitive effects and distortion metrics. The procedure establishes interactions between cognitive effects and distortion metrics using LT data. The proposed IM metric is shown to outperform previously proposed IM metrics in a validation task against subjective quality scores from large and diverse LT databases. Particularly, the proposed system showed an increased quality prediction of music signals coded with bandwidth extension techniques, where other models frequently fail.

description: We argue that the physics of interacting Kelvin Waves (KWs) is highly non-trivial and cannot be understood on the basis of pure dimensional reasoning. A consistent theory of KW turbulence in superfluids should be based upon explicit knowledge of their interactions. To achieve this, we present a detailed calculation and comprehensive analysis of the interaction coefficients for KW turbulence, thereby, resolving previous mistakes stemming from unaccounted contributions. As a first application of this analysis, we derive a new Local Nonlinear (partial differential) Equation. This equation is much simpler for analysis and numerical simulations of KWs than the Biot-Savart equation, and in contrast to the completely integrable Local Induction Approximation (in which the energy exchange between KWs is absent), describes the nonlinear dynamics of KWs. Secondly, we show that the previously suggested Kozik-Svistunov energy spectrum for KWs, which has often been used in the analysis of experimental and numerical data in superfluid turbulence, is irrelevant, because it is based upon an erroneous assumption of the locality of the energy transfer through scales. Moreover, we demonstrate the weak non-locality of the inverse cascade spectrum with a constant particle-number flux and find resulting logarithmic corrections to this spectrum.

description: We compare the substructure evolution in pure dark matter (DM) halos with those in the presence of baryons (PDM and BDM). The prime halos have been analyzed by Romano-Diaz et al (2009). Models have been evolved from identical initial conditions using Constrained Realizations, including star formation and feedback. A comprehensive catalog of subhalos has been compiled and properties of subhalos analyzed in the mass range of 10^8 Mo - 10^11 Mo. We find that subhalo mass functions are consistent with a single power law, M_sbh^{alpha}, but detect a nonnegligible shift between these functions, alpha -0.86 for the PDM, and -0.98 for the BDM. Overall, alpha const. in time with variations of +-15%. Second, we find that the radial mass distribution of subhalos can be approximated by a power law, R^{gamma} with a steepening around the radius of a maximal circular velocity, Rvmax, in the prime halos. Gamma ~-1.5 for the PDM and -1 for the BDM, inside Rvmax, and is steeper outside. We detect little spatial bias between the subhalo populations and the DM of the main halos. The subhalo population exhibits much less triaxiality with baryons, in tandem with the prime halo. Finally, we find that, counter-intuitively, the BDM population is depleted at a faster rate than the PDM one within the central 30kpc of the prime. Although the baryons provide a substantial glue to the subhalos, the main halos exhibit the same trend. This assures a more efficient tidal disruption of the BDM subhalos. This effect can be reversed for a more efficient feedback from stellar evolution and supermassive black holes, which will expel baryons from the center and decrease the concentration of the prime halo. We compare our results with via Lactea and Aquarius simulations and other published results.

Brethren attitudes to authority and government, with particular reference to pacifism

description: Prior to World War I, members of the Christian Brethren movement had usually avoided military involvement. This thesis examines their response to the demands of both World Wars, in the context of their teaching on relations with the state. It takes evidence from published material and responses to a questionnaire, and draws the conclusion that separation from worldly affairs was at least as strong a motivation as pacifism or the law of love, and that these were held in tension with the Biblical command to obey the powers that be.
Peripheral immune cell abnormalities associated with cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Mulcahy, EM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting single-gene disease. It is caused by mutations to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that is expressed on immune cells such as dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes. Lack of CFTR expression on lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages has been reported to result in abnormal immune responses. An unresolving hyperinflammatory and T helper (Th)2/Th17 skewed immune response has also been reported in CF. We therefore hypothesised that abnormalities in both the innate and adaptive immune responses may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CF lung disease. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from people with CF, CF carriers and healthy age-matched controls were stained with antibodies for identification of CD4\\(^+\\) effector (Th1, Th2, Th17) and T regulatory (Treg) (FOXP3\\(^+\\) Treg, IL-10\\(^+\\) T regulatory 1 [Tr1], transforming growth factor (TGF)˜í‚â§\\(^+\\) Th3) cells, na‚àövòve/memory CD4\\(^+\\) and Treg cells expressing the Th1-, Th2- and Th17-associated homing markers (CXCR3, CCR4, CCR6) and innate immune cell populations including natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, dendritic cells (DC) and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) using multicolour flow cytometric analysis. Gene expression of the main transcription regulators of CD4\\(^+\\) subsets and of inflammatory markers was also measured using reverse transcription‚Äö-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Subtle changes were observed in T cell subset proportions in CF peripheral blood, with a detectable Th2 bias and a link between poor lung function and high Th17 percent. All innate immune cell proportions were altered in CF compared with healthy controls, and percentages of NK and MDSC were also correlated with lung function. CF carriers, who have only one mutated CFTR copy, presented with an immune phenotype similar to CF patients or intermediate between those of controls and CF patients. Because the CF carriers did not have chronic infections, this suggested that the many of the abnormal immune responses seen in people with CF may be the consequence of defective CFTR rather than of chronic infection. These findings suggest that greater emphasis should be placed on treating aberrant immune responses in CF.

The Cambrian metamorphic history of Tasmania
Creators: name: Chmielowski, RM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Tyennan Orogeny produced low to medium-grade metamorphic rocks distributed across the western third of Tasmania. Chemical U-Th-Pb monazite dating reveals that the peak episode of metamorphism took place in the Cambrian, with a weighted mean age for all units analysed of 505 ¬¨¬± 1 Ma. However, variations in the results by region range from ~ 511 to ~ 497 Ma. The pelitic schists of the Franklin Metamorphic Complex contain garnet porphyroblasts which record a rapid, nearly isothermal, pressure increase; the garnet cores formed at ~ 600o C, 6,000 bars and the rims at ~ 700o C, 14,000 bars at 511 ¬¨¬± 3 Ma. Likewise, the eclogite from the same region records a change from ~ 550o C, 6,250 bars to ~ 650o C, 19,000 bars. The whiteschist, which was obtained from the opposite side of a major local fault, formed garnet cores at ~ 545o C, 19,600 bars; its garnet rims and matrix minerals formed at 506 ¬¨¬± 5 Ma after an increase in temperature of at least 30-90o C. All of these units show evidence of very rapid isothermal exhumation. Other Franklin Metamorphic Complex fault blocks record P/T for peak conditions at ~ 570o C, 8,600 bars (Mt. Mary), and ~ 700o C, 11,400 bars (Raglan Range). The Forth Metamorphic Complex achieved peak metamorphism at 509 ¬¨¬± 7 Ma, at conditions of 670o C, 16,900 bars, and the nearby Settlers Schist gives results of 513 ¬¨¬± 8 Ma. The garnet porphyroblasts of the Port Davey Metamorphic Complex record a single episode of metamorphism which took place at 505 ¬¨¬± 2 Ma at ~ 550 to 570o C and ~ 6,000 bars during which a dehydration event resulted in both a change of garnet composition and texture. The regional geology indicates metamorphism predated post-collisional extension and associated eruption of the Mount Read volcanics at 506 to 500 Ma. Most of the monazite dating is consistent with this observation. However, the Mersey River Metamorphic Complex gives very consistent results of 497 ¬¨¬± 3 Ma. This is problematical, as it would have been at depth undergoing metamorphism after that extension took place. This could be the result of an unknown analytical problem, but the Mersey River monazite grains are indistinguishable chemically from monazite in the other units, and this sample has undergone repeated analysis. Alternatively, this sample reflects a different metamorphic event than that recorded in all other samples studied.
Communication aspects of a three-player Prisoner's Dilemma quantum game

description: We present a quantization scheme for a three-player Prisoner's Dilemma game. It is shown that entanglement plays a dominant role in the three-player quantum game. Four different types of payoffs are identified on the basis of different combinations of initial state and measurement basis entanglement parameters. A relation among these different payoffs is also established. We also study the communication aspects of the three-player game. By exploiting different combinations of initial state and measurement basis entanglement parameters, we establish a relationship for the information shared among the parties. It is seen that the strategies of the players act as carriers of information in quantum games.

description: Unterscheidet sich die Ausprägung sozialer Präferenzen zwischen Unternehmern und Nicht-Unternehmern? Beeinflussen die sozialen Präferenzen von Unternehmern welchen Geschäftstyp (soziales vs. kommerzielles Unternehmen) sie gründen? Haben soziale Präferenzen einen Einfluss auf produktive und/oder unproduktive unternehmerische Motive? Spielt die Persönlichkeitsstruktur in diesem Kontext eine Rolle? Die vorliegende Dissertation behandelt diese Fragen anhand von vier experimentellen Studien mit Unternehmern, Landwirten, Studierenden der Betriebs- und Volkswirtschaftslehre, sowie Mitarbeitern, Kollaboratoren und Investoren von Start-up-Unternehmen. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Methoden in Labor, Online, sowie „Lab-in-the field“ Experimenten angewendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Unternehmer im Vergleich zu den anderen Testgruppen, generell stärker ausgeprägte soziale Präferenzen besitzen, insbesondere bezüglich kooperativer Eigenschaften. Darüber hinaus wird kein Zusammenhang zwischen den sozialen Präferenzen von Unternehmern und ihrer Entscheidung ein soziales oder kommerzielles Unternehmen zu gründen gefunden.
description: How do entrepreneurs’ social inclinations compare to those of non-entrepreneurs? Does the social preference structure of entrepreneurs provide us with information regarding the business type they choose to operate (i.e., whether they choose to run a social business versus a commercial business)? Do social preferences relate to (un)productive entrepreneurial motives? Does personality play a role in this context? This dissertation addresses these research questions by conducting four experimental studies with actual entrepreneurs, business and economics students, farmers, and start-up employees, collaborators and investors. Thereby, different methods are applied in laboratory, online, and lab-in-the-field experiments. The findings suggest entrepreneurs to hold generally stronger social tendencies, in particular in relation to cooperation. No link between social preferences and the choice of founding a social or commercial business is found.
Indigenous self-determination : rhetoric or reality?
Creators: name: Pedder, CR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is written with a view to incorporating Aboriginal oral history processes which insist upon beginning at the beginning: at the birth of the concept of self-determination. The thesis then traces the growing of international awareness of human rights beginning with the powerful emergence of notions of the Rights of Man in 1789, pausing briefly to outline the effects of those notions in relation to the European revolutions, moving forward to the effects of self-determination on the world during the two World Wars, touching upon the Versailles Conference (1919) and the impact of the conference on international understanding of self-determination and its potential implementation at that time in history. The thesis then takes an aside into the emergence of an international discourse on the definition of self-determination, including the United Nations attempts to support the growth of self-determination for all peoples and culminating in the end of colonialism and the eventual resulting realisation that Indigenous peoples' also have a right to claim self-determination. A section of the thesis highlights the empowerment of Indigenous peoples to outline their own distinctive self-determination aspirations resulting in the formulation and international acceptance of the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The final chapters of the thesis focus on the aspirations of Aboriginal Australians, Australian government responses to those aspirations and the degree of difficulty Australian Aborigines (inclusive of Torres Strait Islanders) face in their respective attempts to maintain sovereignty and self-determination rights in view of government mechanisms which have proven to be consistently racist, xenophobic and dismissive of Aboriginal rights and aspirations. Finally, a brief comparison is made of Indigenous self-determination achievements in Canada, the USA and New Zealand as a means to highlight the unnecessary denial of Aboriginal rights in Australia. Posing the question that if other nations can afford inalienable Indigenous rights it must be asked why Australia consistently fails to achieve similar advances in ensuring the human rights of Australian Aborigines. In effect, this thesis argues that government support of Indigenous self-determination in Australia is largely rhetorical.

A critical edition : poems by Thomas Hoccleve in HM 744 (formerly the Ashburnham MS); a MS in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California
Creators: name: Tremaine, William Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Of the minor poets of the 15th century, those who claimed Chaucer as their teacher and their master, Thomas Hoccleve is perhaps one of the most interesting, not because of his abilities as a poet, which were in the main mediocre, but for the vivid picture he gives us of his own life and times. Hoccleve spent all his working life as a scribe in the office of the Privy Seal. In the introductory pages of this edition, Hoccleve's life and works are discussed at length, and some conjecturing is done as to his relation with Chaucer, of whom Hoccleve claimed to be a willing, if somewhat dull student who "lerned lite or naght." His poetry is put in its historical setting, and his borrowings from Chaucer in literary forms and subject matter are discussed. His borrowings from Chaucer were extensive, but his imitation of the master is mechanical , and usually uninspired. We are, however, indebted to Hoccleve for having had a portrait of Chaucer painted and inserted in the margin of his own Regement of Princes. The authenticity of the portraits is discussed in the introductory pages. In language, of which there is a brief consideration given, Hoccleve was an East-Midlander. His dialect has many similarities to that of Chaucer, and of the London area as a whole. The MSS of Hoccleve's poetry which have come down are all quite consistent in dialect features, which has led to it being postulated that the MSS were all written, or copied by the same man, and that that man was Hoccleve. An examination here tends to support the argument that the MSS were written by the same person, but whether or not that man was Hoccleve is beyond the scope of consideration for this paper. The MS HM 744, from the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, has never been edited in full before. The transcription given in this edition includes all of the Hoccleve poetry from HM 744. The last poem, Lerne to Dye, is incomplete in the MS. It lacks some 300 lines of poetry, and two pages of prose. This lack has been made up from a different edition of the poem, in order that the reader may have a full copy of the work at his disposal. A section of explanatory notes on the poetry, a glossary and an extensive bibliography of Hoccleve material complete the critical apparatus.
