Hamlet's Delay: A New Perspective on the Sphinx

Subjects: subject: Drama
subject: Literature--Philosophy
subject: Psychology and literature

description: Abstract: This article poses a challenge to contemporary historicist tendency to silence significant semantic threads within Hamlet, attempts to restore our critical interest in the age-old problem of delay of the protagonist, and thus distinguish the text in itself from its historicised version. In doing so, my over-all argument proposes an alternative paradigm of critical inquiry by analysing the secondary literature on the issue of Hamlet’s delay, identifying their limitations, and then developing a new perspective with the help of epistemology, metaphysics and psychoanalysis. My approach stresses on the importance of a stable primary premise on the basis of which a number of valid deductions can be drawn in relation to the topic under discussion. Moreover, an important part of my critical paradigm is to make a painstaking effort to systematically expose Hamlet's largely hidden past forming the play’s subtext, his construction of the Self/Other binary and an increasingly prominent division within the self, which condition his famous delay.

Bad Heritage: The American Viking Fantasy, from the Nineteenth Century to Now
Creators: name: Steel, Karl
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Culture--Study and teaching
subject: Literature, Medieval

description: Here's a key paragraph:
"This chapter will be an exploration of the heritage function of Vikings in America. It will look at their presumptive whiteness, from the early nineteenth century, through the real mania for all things Viking in the mid to late nineteenth century, and on to present day fascinations with the Norse in popular music, neo-Norse religion, and white supremacy. As I will demonstrate, a fantasized whiteness is at the core of much of the American Viking fantasy: Historic Newfoundland is no anomaly. Witness, for example, a recent Newfoundland and Labrador Tourist board television commercial, featuring a set of light-skinned children frolicking amid the reconstructions of turf houses, whose voiceover concludes with "their journey ended [here]…the place your journey will begin" (L'anse Aux Meadows). The Vikings provide a break, starting (Canadian) history, but also ending it, by establishing a bond that collapses the distinction between past to present. My central concern will be with how this fantasized historical bond of whiteness works as heritage both of freedom and as an obligation, a burden, or a duty, as, in short, anything but a freedom. My ultimate goal will be to complicate claims of authenticity and straightforward cultural transmission to make them useless for white supremacist heritage claims, while preserving the possibility for a culturally heterogeneous Viking heritage that might operate outside the strictures of purity.

Subjects: Natural Sciences

description: The objective of present study was to study the effect of biofield treatment on physical and thermal properties of gluten hydrolysate (GH) and ipomoea macroelements (IM). The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treated group. The control and treated GH and IM were characterized by particle size analysis, surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Particle size results of treated GH showed that d50 (average particle size) was decreased by 3.15% and d99 (size exhibited by 99% of powder particles) by 18.40% as compared to control GH sample. The treated IM also showed substantial reduction in average particle size d50 by 4.70% and d99 by 44.40% as compared to control sample. BET analysis showed significant increase in surface area of treated GH by 374.40 % as compared to control sample. However, the treated IM showed reduction in surface area by 14.30% as compared to control sample. XRD data suggested that both control and treated GH samples were amorphous in nature. Contrarily, the treated IM sample showed intense crystalline nature; though minimal decrease was observed in crystallinity as compared to control. DSC data showed increase in melting temperature of the treated GH as compared to control which can be correlated to alteration in kinetic energy of sample. Additionally, the DSC of treated IM also showed increase in melting temperature as compared to control IM. A significant increase in latent heat of fusion (ΔH) was observed in treated GH by 302.55% with respect to control. Similarly, the treated IM showed 24.87% increase in latent heat of fusion as compared to control. TGA data showed higher thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) of treated GH as compared to control. However, treated IM showed that Tmax was decreased as compared to control sample. These results suggested that biofield treatment has substantially changed the physical and thermal properties of the treated organic products (GH and IM).

description: A high quality of OCR-output (Optical Character Recognition) has many benefits. Documents become more accessible to readers and NLP tasks can thrive on the data. However, for many reasons, such as the condition of the documents, the OCR-output of historical documents suffers from a significant amount of errors. This study focuses on detecting and correcting these errors after the OCR process has taken place. It has a focus on Dutch historical data. A comparison will be made between the performance of two methods often used for this over the last few years: word2vec and BERT. While BERT has been shown to substantially outperform Word2Vec on OCR post-correction, the reasons behind this performance gap remain under-explored. From related literature, several pitfalls of word2vec in general were retrieved. This study attempts to find where these pitfalls might occur and compare whether BERT has less (or more) problems with these pitfalls than word2vec. This will give insight not only into the advantages and disadvantages of the used word embeddings for OCR post-correction (on historical data), but also into the application of state-of-the-art methods on historical data, something that these methods have often not been trained on and designed for specifically.
MatriXSSed: A New Taxonomy for XSS in the Modern Web
Creators: name: Somé, Dolière Francis
Publisher: name: CISPA

description: Cross-site scripting (XSS) constantly remains one of the most prevalent attacks on the Web. In this work, we question its current taxonomy, i.e., the client- or server-side reflected (non-persistent) or stored (persistent) matrix. The Web has extensively changed. Consequently, considering XSS with the lenses of this famous matrix has become at least imprecise, at most impossible for many code injection scenarios where (i) a service worker or an edge worker generates HTTP responses and can reflect or persist XSS payloads infecting not only JavaScript in web pages but also Web assembly, web workers and affecting one or many users automatically; (ii) an attacker sends a web push message directly to a browser push service to trigger code execution in a dormant service worker; or (iii) a cross-origin adversary tampers with code stored by a vulnerable website on the user’s physical/permanent file system, etc. Our proposal–to get out of the matrix and not enter another rigid oneexpresses the essence of XSS as code infection and affection attack, and allows for clearly specifying the different actors and components involved, their environments, contexts and storages, as well as their recurrence and persistence seen as a continuum rather than a binary marker. From a defensive perspective, we showcase the challenges and limitations of current mechanisms at mitigating XSS targetting the entire attack surface of modern websites. Finally, we demonstrate an abuse of the Service-Worker-Allowed (SWA) header to control entire domains with malicious service workers.
Spectroscopic Characterization of Disulfiram and Nicotinic Acid after Biofield Treatment

description: Disulfiram is being used clinically as an aid in chronic alcoholism, while nicotinic acid is one of a B-complex vitamin that has cholesterol lowering activity. The aim of present study was to investigate the impact of biofield treatment on spectral properties of disulfiram and nicotinic acid. The study was performed in two groups i.e., control and treatment of each drug. The treatment groups were received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Subsequently, spectral properties of control and treated groups of both drugs were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic techniques. FT-IR spectrum of biofield treated disulfiram showed the shifting in wavenumber of C-H stretching from 1496 to 1506 cm-1 and C-N stretching from 1062 to 1056 cm-1. The intensity of S-S dihedral bending peaks (665 and 553 cm-1) was also increased in biofield treated disulfiram sample, as compared to control. FT-IR spectra of biofield treated nicotinic acid showed the shifting in wavenumber of C-H stretching from 3071 to 3081 cm-1 and 2808 to 2818 cm-1. Likewise, C=C stretching peak was shifted to higher frequency region from 1696 cm-1 to 1703 cm-1 and C-O (COO-) stretching peak was shifted to lower frequency region from 1186 to 1180 cm-1 in treated nicotinic acid. UV spectrum of control and biofield treated disulfiram showed similar pattern of UV spectra. Whereas, the UV spectrum of biofield treated nicotinic acid exhibited the shifting of absorption maxima (λmax) with respect of control i.e., from 268.4 to 262.0 nm, 262.5 to 256.4, 257.5 to 245.6, and 212.0 to 222.4 nm. Over all, the FT-IR and UV spectroscopy results suggest an impact of biofield treatment on the force constant, bond strength, and dipole moments of treated drugs such as disulfiram and nicotinic acid that could led to change in their chemical stability as compared to control.

description: Balkan universities are in a hurry to beat Oxbridge and Ivy League universities. But, from their dire straits, can Balkan teachers afford the train ticket to compare and contrast? Therefore, in this paper we will talk about the situation in the higher education system in the Former Yugoslav countries which has lost its vigour and rigour with the reforms in the last ten years. Instead of adapting the system to the new political and economic situation, our university decision-makers literally implanted the existing western models thus creating a non-productive and mediocre situation. While requirements for tenure track position equal those at the most prestigious universities, funding for research (and teaching too) is desperate. Under this powerful discourse, humanities, especially, are judged useless and literary studies are marginalized as an ineffectual expression of subjectivity. While mapping the Balkan higher-education state of affairs in contrast to its vision, we especially want to highlight the unenviable “post-Theory” condition of literary studies.

title: Exploring the Influence of Work Culture on the Dietary and Other Health Related Practices of Singaporean Young Adults
Creators: name: Leu, Jodie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Globalisation, international competition, and high living costs have placed Singaporean young adults under pressure to work long hours to earn a living, provide for their family, and save for the future. This leaves less time for self-care and recreation. Simultaneously, evidence is mounting that Singaporeans have unhealthy diets and insufficient physical activity, putting them at risk of gaining weight and developing chronic, obesity-related diseases. This has implications for the nation's well-being, productivity, and economy. Recognising this, the government has promoted healthy eating and healthy lifestyles through public health campaigns and programmes. This study explores how work culture, in tandem with other sociocultural determinants, influences young workers' everyday living and health-related practices. Taking a focused ethnographic approach, I conducted a year of fieldwork in Singapore, employing semi-structured interviews, participant observation, time-use diaries, questionnaires, and photo-elicitation to capture a detailed picture of young adults' everyday work, dietary practices, and physical activity patterns. The overarching approach that guided the exploration and interpretation of the findings was the social determinants of health, with a focus on time as a determinant of health. A total of 15 male and 18 female research participants, aged between 21 and 36 years, were recruited to the study through purposive and snowball sampling. They worked at least 38 hours a week, were either Singaporean citizens or permanent residents, and were mainly white-collared professionals. This study finds that multiple elements, such as young workers' pursuit of financial security and stability, the highly accessible and affordable local foodscape, and urban planning, buttress Singapore's dominant work culture that normalises long working hours. This is supported further by the sociocultural values of Singapore's predominantly Chinese population that promote a strong work ethic, family ties, and social bonds all maintained by commensality. I argue that the interactions between these elements may discourage health-promoting practices among young adults who spend their limited recreational time recuperating from work by either relaxing at home or socialising, often over meals. As few young adults have health problems, they tend to be non-reflexive about their health practices and ignore public health campaigns that encourage individualised responsibility for exercise and healthy diets. I argue that the sociocultural contexts of young peoples' employment discourage healthy habits in their everyday lives. My findings suggest that policy could extend the government's current efforts to address the work culture and the healthiness of commercially available foods while health promotion campaigns could better engage young adults by recognising their need for sociability.

description: Neopentyl glycol (NPG) has been extensively used as solid-solid phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage applications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, spectral and thermal properties of NPG. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and treatment group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. The control and treated NPG were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. XRD study revealed the decrease in crystallite size of treated NPG by 21.97% as compared to control sample. DSC studies showed slight change in melting temperature of treated NPG as compared to control sample. TGA analysis showed 55.66% weight loss in control NPG however, the treated sample showed reduction in weight loss (44.81%). Additionally, the maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) of treated NPG (160.40°C) was minimally increased with respect to control sample (159.72°C). This can be inferred as good thermal stability of biofield treated NPG with respect to control. FT-IR spectroscopy showed no structural changes in treated NPG with respect to control sample. The overall results showed that biofield treatment has affected the physical and thermal properties of treated NPG. Moreover, good thermal stability of treated NPG showed that it could be used as phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications.
On the magnitude of error in determination of rotation axes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Rotation axes (together with rotation angles) are often used to describe crystal orientations and misorientations, and they are also needed to characterize some properties of crystalline materials. Since experimental orientation data are subject to errors, directions of axes obtained from such data are also inaccurate. A natural question arises: given a resolution of input rotations, what is the average error of the rotation axes? Assuming that rotation data characterized by rotation angle $ω$ deviate from actual data by error rotations with fixed angle $δ$ but otherwise random, the average error of rotation axes of the data is expressed analytically as a function of $ω$ and $δ$. Moreover, a scheme for using this formula in practical cases when rotation errors $δ$ follow the von Mises-Fisher distribution is described. Finally, the impact of crystal symmetry on determination of average errors of axis directions is discussed. The presented results are important for assessing the reliability of rotation axes in studies where directions of crystal rotations play a role, e.g. in identifying deformation slip mechanisms.

Publisher: name: Center for International Education
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Education

description: This is a study of skill learning in an informal learning setting in Africa. The purpose of the study is to describe an analyze the nature of the skill acquisition process in one indigenous training system: the apprenticeship of the wayside mechanics workshops in Koforidua, Ghana. The study first examines informal skill training from a broad perspective. The history of the West African craft workshop and its associated apprenticeship is traces. Several major themes in the literature on informal skill training systems such as apprenticeships. The second part of the study describes the specific setting of the wayside mechanics workshops and the general features of the apprenticeship system. Subsequent sections consider contextual factors which may have a bearing on apprentice skill acquisition. Case studies of several apprentice and master artisans are presented to illustrate personal experiences at various levels of the mechanics profession. Finally, the learning/teaching process in the wayside workshop is analyzed intensively using data gathered from general observation, structured interveiws, and structured observation instruments. Apprentice skill competence is assessed through self-reports and administration of mechanics skill test. Results are used to evaluate the effectiveness of apprenticeship training in fostering diagnostic skills and higher-order theoretical understanding. Several possible ways of enhancing apprenticeship training through supplementary training programs are suggested. The implications of the study are of interest to educational anthropologists who are concerned with learning in traditional naturalistic settings. The study is also significant for educational planners in that it calls attention to the strengths and limitations of building nonformal educational programs around indigenous learning systems.

description: This thesis describes the research and development of a hardware implementation of the Self Organizing Map (SOM) for a network intrusion detection system. As part of the thesis research, Kohonen’s SOM algorithm was examined and different hardware implementations for the SOM were surveyed. This survey resulted in the design and implementation of a conventional SOM, which was then modified for use as a detector of anomalous network traffic as part of a network intrusion detection system. The resulting implementation known as the port agent SOM is both smaller in area and supports higher data throughput than the conventional SOM, as was quantified through post place and route analysis. This thesis can serve as a tool for developing hardware implementations of the SOM, especially if their intended application is anomaly detection.

description: The change in the surface properties of polymer materials used in an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device due to nitric oxide (NO) treatment was characterized by zeta-potential and dynamic contact-angle measurements. FTIR-ATR was used to determine the stability of these effects during liquid contact. Polymethyl pentene (PMP), methyl methacrylate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MABS), and polyurethane (PU) were investigated. The polymer materials were treated with NO (1000 ppm) for 17 h. The samples for FTIR-ATR measurements were submerged in water or physiological sodium chloride solution for 120 and 240 h after the end of the gas treatment. PMP showed no changes at all. MABS showed decreased contact-angles and increased contact-angle hysteresis. In contrast, PU showed decreased contact-angles and a shift in its zeta-potential curve, indicating a more hydrophilic and acidic surface. The FTIR-ATR measurements showed a slight decrease in the signal intensities after liquid contact. The results indicated an improvement in the liquid contact properties of MABS and the PU due to increased surface hydrophilicity caused mainly by the adsorbed nitric acid (HNO3) molecules formed by the NO treatment. The results presented in this paper point towards a simple and complication-free method of introducing NO into an ECMO circuit

description: Context: Recent developments in natural language processing have facilitated the adoption of chatbots in typically collaborative software engineering tasks (such as diagram modelling). Families of experiments can assess the performance of tools and processes and, at the same time, alleviate some of the typical shortcomings of individual experiments (e.g., inaccurate and potentially biased results due to a small number of participants). Objective: Compare the usability of a chatbot for collaborative modelling (i.e., SOCIO) and an online web tool (i.e., Creately). Method: We conducted a family of three experiments to evaluate the usability of SOCIO against the Creately online collaborative tool in academic settings. Results: The student participants were faster at building class diagrams using the chatbot than with the online collaborative tool and more satisfied with SOCIO. Besides, the class diagrams built using the chatbot tended to be more concise -albeit slightly less complete. Conclusion: Chatbots appear to be helpful for building class diagrams. In fact, our study has helped us to shed light on the future direction for experimentation in this field and lays the groundwork for researching the applicability of chatbots in diagramming.

description: Context: Online collaborative creation of models is becoming commonplace. Collaborative modeling using chatbots and natural language may lower the barriers to modeling for users from different domains. Objective: We compare the perceived usability of two similarly online collaborative modeling tools, the SOCIO chatbot and the Creately web-based tool. Method: We conducted a crossover experiment with 66 participants. The evaluation instrument was based on the System Usability Scale (SUS). We performed a quantitative and qualitative exploration, employing inferential statistics and thematic analysis. Results: The results indicate that chatbots enabling natural language communication enhance communication and collaboration efficiency and improve the user experience. Conclusion: Chatbots need to improve guidance and help for novices, but they appear beneficial for enhancing user experience.
title: Grassroots to Voting Booths: A Study of the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Traditional Media Coverage and Social Media Impact in 2016 United States Presidential Candidates
Creators: name: Heneghan, Scott
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 2016 election
subject: Twitter
subject: Social media
subject: Traditional media
subject: Spatiotemporal

description: The subject of social media effect on elections has been studied in multiple peer reviewed journal articles, however the effect of social media on traditional media in elections is not as well studied. This thesis reviews the space time patterns of Twitter and how tweets can potentially correlate to future news coverage from local newspapers in different parts of the United States. This study is being done in relation to the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. The correlation between one week of tweets and newspaper reports was compared against the tweets from a previous week to the newspaper reports. Local trends were reviewed in order to determine if social media is in fact a driver of change using Pearson product moment correlation. Limited correlation was detected between the values as a result of sparse data from local newspapers, which do not contribute a significant number of reports regarding national elections.

description: La Camelias de Amelia (written in Spanish) is a 2009 collection of short stories about Puerto Rico and its people. Its author, Zoé Jiménez Corretjer, forms part of the Puerto Rican writers called ‘La Generación de los 80’ (authors writing in Spanish from the island and not in English from US territory.) This review only analyzes the work as a unit; those so inclined can read its twenty-five short stories by themselves. Las Camelias de Amelia is a very finely crafted piece of work!
title: Using Accelerometer Signals to Classify Prehensile Hand Movements
Creators: name: Sheth, Nirav
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Accelerometer
subject: Prehensile patterns
subject: Random forest
subject: Hand movements

description: Prehensile movement is crucial for activities of daily living (ADLs) such as grooming and self-care. In humans, the hand is the primary device utilized for prehensile movements. Recognizing the relationship between a hand's prehensile patterns and accelerometer data can be instrumental in developing assisted and enhanced functional hand devices. An accelerometer measures the linear acceleration acting on the part of the body where the sensor is placed. This thesis demonstrates the usefulness of several features, based on accelerometer data, towards recognizing prehensile movement of the hand while performing 47 movements, grips and neutral rest. Particular emphasis is given to measuring the use- fulness of the features to identify movement transitions. A random forest classifier is used to recognize motion onset and offset as well as various phases of movement. The results showed that the accelerometer-based features were effective in recognizing motion onset and offset and moments of transitions. However, they were not as effective in recognizing various phases of prehensile movement.

description: This thesis has been embargoed for 10 years and will not be available until May 2030 at the earliest.
description: This thesis is a poetry collection structured like a field guide to edible wild plants of the author’s backyard, growing up in rural Maine. Included here are poems written and named after plants the author has eaten or had some sort of sensory experience with on that land. These plants are a leitmotif for the reader to hold on to, as they are guided through the author’s childhood and teenage trauma, as well as a few adventures. This is used as a way to tap back into emotions and physical sensations surrounding the plant, which is often paired with an influential event in the author’s life. The events are in chronological order up until today, to create a memoiristic approach to both the poetry collection and field guide aspects of this work.

Creators: name: Gilbert, Michaela
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2025

description: I completed my Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE) at the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) in Canberra, ACT. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry focuses on a range of issues of importance to Australian primary producers and the public, including biosecurity, agricultural production, and trade. Along with State and Territory Governments, DAFF has strong connections with industry partners, ranging from industry representatives such as the Meat and Livestock Association to commercial producers such as SunPork, one of the largest pork suppliers in Australia. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry also has strong relationships with advisory bodies such as Wildlife Health Australia (WHA) and Animal Health Australia (AHA), and with university research partners such as the University of Melbourne. My projects focused on animal diseases and diseases of One Health significance. I described the effects of Japanese encephalitis virus on Australian piggeries, I evaluated the Northern Australian Quarantine Strategy component of the National Avian Influenza Wild Birds surveillance program, and I investigated an outbreak of very virulent infectious bursal disease in Solomon Islands chickens. This thesis also describes other experiences I had during the MAE, including two field trips I went on to support two of my projects, my teaching experiences, my involvement in working groups and my role coordinating the Veterinary Epidemiology and Surveillance Throughout Australia network.

description: The ever-evolving landscape of wireless communication technologies has led to the development of 5G-NR (5G New Radio) networks promising higher data rates and lower latency. However, with these advancements come challenges in managing intra-cell and inter-cell interference, particularly during the random-access procedure. This article aims to explore the impact of UE (User Equipment) and cell configuration parameters on interference and establish improved interference management strategies. To assess the effectiveness of these strategies, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Correct Detection Rate (CDR) will be considered. Additionally, the Matched Filtering (MF)-Based PRACH (Physical Random-Access CHannel) detection algorithm will be studied to evaluate the PRACH performance. The findings underscore the critical role of interference management and the configuration of User Equipment (UE)/Cell parameters in ensuring the robustness and reliability of the NR-PRACH performance in 5G NR networks. Optimizing these configurations can lead to improved network performance and enhanced communication quality.
