title: Gendering the Financialisation of Everyday Life: Geographies of Australian Women's Financial Self-help Cultures

Subjects: subject: financialisation
subject: feminism
subject: self-help

description: While geographies of financialisation are increasingly central to our social lives insufficient attention has been paid to the bodies of everyday people who constitute the economy. This thesis addresses this gap by taking a feminist lens to explore how women's everyday experiences of credit and debt are embodied. Through analysing a sample of Australian women's financial self-help texts, including five books and two seasons of a popular podcast, I show how the demands of financialisation are enfolded into contemporary expectations of white middle-class hegemonic femininity. In detailing how expectations of contemporary femininity now include economic competencies, findings of this research include how the ideal feminised financial subject is defined in the cultural imaginary; as a speculative investor, risk-calculator, debt manager and asset-accumulator. She is corporeally self-disciplined, particularly as it relates to maintaining a 'healthy' (slim) body, and carefully manages the heterosexual life course markers of marriage and maternity. The requirements of successful financial femininity are communicated pedagogically via a gendered, racialised and classed girlfriendly affective-discursive mode of governance. Following the analysis of women's financial self-help media, I share seven oral and written vignettes which contain economic knowledges from a First Nations woman, a trans woman, a gender queer person, a migrant woman, two women with disabilities, and a woman who has experienced domestic violence and financial abuse. In narrating their financial biographies and communicating their expertise, these vignettes trouble the moralised celebration and economic disciplining of the supposedly relatable everyday Australian woman venerated in the analysed financial advice media. By illuminating the unevenness of the emotional geographies of money and finance, the knowledges in this chapter reveal how different bodies make affective negotiations in understanding their economic (un)belonging.

description: There is a need to increase awareness among African American men regarding their potential risk of prostate cancer and inform them of screening and treatment options, given the health disparities that affect their group. To do so, an innovative e health video was developed, using an animated avatar video to educate African American males about prostate cancer and potential screening methods in a way that is culturally appropriate. Effectiveness of this e-health intervention was tested on a sample of 41 African American males. Efficacy was measured using a repeated measures design that used pre- and post-measures of four target behaviors regarding prostate cancer screening. These four target behaviors include: (1) getting an annual physical exam, (2) discussing the possibility of getting a digital rectal exam to screen for prostate cancer with a doctor, (3) discussing the possibility of getting a PSA exam to screen for prostate cancer with a doctor, and (4) spreading awareness about prostate cancer among other African American men. The stage of change, which is a theoretical framework adapted from Prochaska and DiClemente (1983), measures changes in human behavior from precontemplation and contemplation on the low end to action and maintenance on the high end. Self-efficacy was also measured before and after the intervention for each of the four target behaviors. Paired t-tests show that the stage of change for the third and fourth target behaviors and self-efficacy for the second, third, and fourth target behaviors were significantly increased by the e-health intervention, indicating that the intervention was successful. Additionally, participant ratings about the intervention were largely positive. In effect, this study finds that the e-health intervention developed in this study not only works, but is an affordable, scalable, and practical tool that can educate African American males about prostate cancer screening practices.

description: We introduce a new class of 2-cocycles defined explicitly on the generators of certain multiparameter standard quantum groups. These allow us, through the process of twisting the familiar standard quantum groups, to generate new as well as previously known examples of non-standard quantum groups. In particular we are able to construct generalisations of both the Cremmer-Gervais deformation of SL(3) and the so called esoteric quantum groups of Fronsdal and Galindo in an explicit and straightforward manner.

description: Prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems rely on small non-coding RNAs derived from CRISPR loci to recognize and destroy complementary nucleic acids. However, the mechanism of Type IV CRISPR RNA (crRNA) biogenesis is poorly understood. To dissect the mechanism of Type IV CRISPR RNA biogenesis, we determined the x-ray crystal structure of the putative Type IV CRISPR associated endoribonuclease Cas6 from Mahella australiensis (Ma Cas6-IV) and characterized its enzymatic activity with RNA cleavage assays. We show that Ma Cas6-IV specifically cleaves Type IV crRNA repeats at the 3ʹ side of a predicted stem loop, with a metal-independent, single-turnover mechanism that relies on a histidine and a tyrosine located within the putative endonuclease active site. Structure and sequence alignments with Cas6 orthologs reveal that although Ma Cas6-IV shares little sequence homology with other Cas6 proteins, all share common structural features that bind distinct crRNA repeat sequences. This analysis of Type IV crRNA biogenesis provides a structural and biochemical framework for understanding the similarities and differences of crRNA biogenesis across multi-subunit Class 1 CRISPR immune systems.
An Informal Transit System Hiding in Plain Sight: Brooklyn's Dollar Vans and Transportation Planning and Policy in New York City

description: New York’s transit system serves millions of riders each day; the local newspapers complain about the lack of funding for infrastructure projects; and the City Council regularly hosts hearings about Bus Rapid Transit, bike-share, road safety, e-hail taxis, and gondolas. Transportation issues matter to New Yorkers, but these debates, at the policy level, often focus on technology, budgets, and regulations rather than the needs and experiences of passengers. This focus on “technical” matters allows planners and politicians to confine transportation debates to the realm of experts rather than engage the broader public in them.
      The failure to address the needs of passengers in Brooklyn and Queens has led to the development of dollar vans. Dollar vans are hybrid bus-taxis, also known as jitneys, that provide vital transportation links to more than 120,000 riders per day and operate beyond the control of the formal transit system governed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). While this ridership pales in comparison to the daily ridership on the subway or bus, it does rival bus ridership in cities like Dallas and Milwaukee and dwarfs the 50,000 peak ridership achieved by Citi Bike, New York’s celebrated bike-share system. More important, the durability of the vans reveals the failures of the existing formal system to serve all New Yorkers.
      I argue that this failure is important for three reasons. First, the vans respond to a geographically specific problem: adequate access to inadequate service. The vans thrive in busy transit corridors where MTA-owned buses come too infrequently, are overcrowded, or are regularly stuck in traffic. On these busy routes, the vans provide a more reliable ride and alternative for transit-dependent populations looking to bypass the faltering bus system. Second, regulations fail to reflect daily practice. This gap between practice and policy leaves van operators and passengers in an awkward limbo that criminalizes an industry and jeopardizes the mobility of entire neighborhoods. Third, since the vans operate outside of the formal system, traditional metrics, such as ridership, travel time, vehicle revenue miles, etc., are not collected and compared against the metrics of other modes operated by the MTA. As long as the vans remain an unknown quantity, it is impossible for the City and State to serve transit-dependent populations in Brooklyn and Queens.
      In this dissertation, I use a mixed-methods research design to probe the world of the vans and argue that continued regulatory uncertainty, long the friend of the vans, has the potential to upend them as development pressures and capital investment in Central Brooklyn intensifies.

description: In this work, we examine the possibility of using the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) to test the Chaplygin gas (CG) models of the Universe. With a typical supernova rate $R_{\mathrm{SN}}(z)$ and supernova neutrino spectrum $\mathrm{d} N(E_ν)/\mathrm{d} E_ν$, the DSNB flux spectrum $n(E_ν)$ in three categories of CG models, the generalized CG (GCG), modified CG (MCG) and extended CG (ECG) models, are studied. It is found that generally the flux spectra take a form similar to a Fermi-Dirac distribution with a peak centered around 3.80-3.97 MeV. The spectrum shape and peak positions are primarily determined by $R_{\mathrm{SN}}(z)$ and $\mathrm{d} N(E_ν)/\mathrm{d} E_ν$ and only slightly affected by the CG models. However, the height of the spectra in each category of the CG models can vary dramatically for different models, with variances of 13.2%, 23.6% and 14.9% for GCG, MCG and ECG categories respectively. The averaged total flux in each category are also different, with the ECG model average 10.0% and 12.7% higher than that of the GCG and MCG models. These suggest that the DSNB flux spectrum height and total flux can be used to constrain the CG model parameters, and if the measured to a sub-10% accuracy, might be used to rule out some models.

Subjects: subject: Queensland
subject: secondary school

subject: managing systemic change

description: To ensure the appropriate capacity development of educational leaders to meet the varying professional challenges they will encounter in the current landscape and into the future, school leaders need to be equipped to make evidence-based decisions about their practice. In this way, the careful examination of the language of leadership practice in the pursuit of improved outcomes for students stands to offer valuable insight for leaders and researchers alike. The present research explores the practical language tools and relational skills that leaders leverage to build cultures and climates of growth and positive communities of practice within learning organisations during times of educational system change. In particular, this study examines how leaders lead in a Queensland secondary school setting as they transitioned to the new Queensland system of learning and assessment in 2019, with the first cohort having exited under the new system in 2020. This change reflects a significant leadership moment in time and the present study seeks to use this moment to examine leadership behaviour in managing systemic change. A small exploratory qualitative study was conducted within the context of a senior leadership team meeting of a secondary independent school in Brisbane. A series of three vignettes were developed for use in the meeting to prompt discussion of a range of topics identified to be relevant to senior leaders in Queensland schools in the current context. This study seeks to add to the literature by exploring leadership practices that have a positive impact on staff, both attitudinally and performatively, with a potential impact on outcomes for students. Five key themes emerged from the research, including time, pressure and anxiety, trust, building organisational capacity through professional learning, and agency, all of which were dynamically evident within the talk of the group. This study was designed to enable the garnering of insight with respect to what leaders say and do within the practice and praxis of leadership with a focus on leaders’ relational “toolkits”, with implications for future research into the language of agile leadership. The study found the methodological use of vignettes within a senior leadership team meeting to be valuable as a means of observing turn taking and other interactional dynamics within leadership teams’ discussion on a specified topic.

description: During the first half of 2022, the World Health Organization reported an outbreak of acute severe hepatitis of unknown aetiology (AS-Hep-UA) in children, following initial alerts from the United Kingdom (UK) where a cluster of cases was first observed in previously well children aged <6 years. Sporadic cases were then reported across Europe and worldwide, although in most countries incidence did not increase above the expected baseline. There were no consistent epidemiological links between cases, and microbiological investigations ruled out known infectious causes of hepatitis. In this review, we explore the evidence for the role of viral infection, superimposed on a specific host genetic background, as a trigger for liver pathology. This hypothesis is based on a high prevalence of Human Adenovirus (HAdV) 41F in affected children, together with metagenomic evidence of adeno-associated virus (Adeno-associated viruses)-2, which is a putative trigger for an immune-mediated liver injury. Roles for superantigen-mediated pathology have also been explored, with a focus on the potential contribution of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Affected children also had a high frequency of the MHC allele HLA-DRB1*04:01, supporting an immunological predisposition, and may have been vulnerable to viral coinfections due to disruption in normal patterns of exposure and immunity as a result of population lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss areas of ongoing uncertainty, and highlight the need for ongoing scrutiny to inform clinical and public health interventions for this outbreak and for others that may evolve in future.

description: In this paper we show, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), the existence of static striped density of electronic states in nearly optimally doped $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}$ in zero field. The observed modulation is strongest at roughly half the superconducting gap energy and is aligned with the Cu-O bonds, with a periodicity of four lattice constants, exhibiting features characteristic of a two-dimensional system of line objects. These features also exhibit asymmetries between the two orthogonal directions locally, pointing to a possible broken symmetry state (i. e., stripe phase). We further show that the density of states modulation manifests itself as a shift of states from above to below the superconducting gap. The fact that a single energy scale (i. e., the gap) appears for both superconductivity and stripes suggests that these two effects have the same microscopic origin.

description: Neural Networks (NNs) have been extensively used for a wide spectrum of real-world regression tasks, where the goal is to predict a numerical outcome such as revenue, effectiveness, or a quantitative result. In many such tasks, the point prediction is not enough: the uncertainty (i.e. risk or confidence) of that prediction must also be estimated. Standard NNs, which are most often used in such tasks, do not provide uncertainty information. Existing approaches address this issue by combining Bayesian models with NNs, but these models are hard to implement, more expensive to train, and usually do not predict as accurately as standard NNs. In this paper, a new framework (RIO) is developed that makes it possible to estimate uncertainty in any pretrained standard NN. The behavior of the NN is captured by modeling its prediction residuals with a Gaussian Process, whose kernel includes both the NN's input and its output. The framework is evaluated in twelve real-world datasets, where it is found to (1) provide reliable estimates of uncertainty, (2) reduce the error of the point predictions, and (3) scale well to large datasets. Given that RIO can be applied to any standard NN without modifications to model architecture or training pipeline, it provides an important ingredient for building real-world NN applications.

Cauchy-Mirimanoff

description: This thesis investigates the Cauchy-Mirimanoff polynomials En and their close relatives Rn, Sn and Tn, with an emphasis on irreducibility. The Cauchy-Mirimanoff polynomials were first identified and studied by Cauchy and Liouville in 1839 in relation to Fermat's Last Theorem, but Mirimanoff in 1903 first proposed their irreducibility over Q for n a prime number. None of the standard irreducibility criteria apply directly, for example Helou showed En is always reducible modulo any prime for all odd n>=9. Computing irreducibility is problematic as the largest coefficients grow rapidly with n. The difficulty of the problem is apparent since it remains unresolved after more than 100 years. Helou, Filaseta and Beukers in 1997, Tzermias in 2007, Irick in 2010 and Lynch in 2012 have progressed the area using a range of methods, but this thesis describes an alternative original method and it is used to generalize some of the earlier results. In essence the method uses proven properties of the polynomials to reveal an inconsistency in the 2-adic or 3-adic valuation of their coefficients, depending on the polynomial under consideration. After proving several properties of the polynomials the new method is used to prove that Rm, Sm, Tm are irreducible over Q for odd m>=3, and En, Rn, Sn are irreducible over Q, for n=(2^q)m, q=1,2,3,4,5, and m>=1 odd. And using the same approach it is proved that En, for n=(3^q)m, is irreducible over Q for q=1,2,3,4 and for any odd m>=1, not divisible by 3. It is likely the results could be extended to higher values of q. It is proved that for most odd n, assuming En is reducible over Q, En is proportional to the product of two primitive irreducible polynomials over Z, both of which share all 6 of the automorphisms of En. Mirimanoff's conjecture is also investigated. Tzermias has shown Ep is irreducible for every prime p less than 1,000 and by considering a decomposed form of Ep this result is extended here to all primes less than 10,000. Several new irreducibility criteria and Theorems relating to the number and size of factors over Q are proved including some based on the approach of Schonemann which are shown to be effective. A good approximation to all the roots of En (for all n) is proved. For prime n this is used to prove an upper bound on the number of factors of En over Q. Using the estimate it is shown that for large n the roots take the form of simple linear fractional functions of the n'th roots of unity. The Newton polygon of En is studied for composite n. It is shown that if p is any prime divisor of n, then En is always reducible over the field of p-adics Qp. Irreducible factors in Qp[x] of En, Rn, Sn, Tn, are identified for n=Kp^r, where p is any prime, with 1<=K<=p-1 and r>=1. A complete factoring of En into irreducibles in Qp[x] is given for n=2p^r. Similar results are proved for Rn, Sn and Tn.
Re-covering suburbia: An investigation into the reconfiguration of the suburban landscape

description: The latter half of the twentieth century has seen a dramatic change in the way modern Australian suburbs develop. In as little as 40 years, the Australian home has transformed from modest cottages to conspicuous palatial rendered houses often referred to as McMansions. The impact of this shift has resulted in a reconfiguration of the suburban landscape, as open spaces on blocks of land are no longer synonymous with the traditional backyard, but are reduced to residual ribbons of green circumscribing the perimeter fence. This shift has occurred in a period of increasing awareness of the environmental challenges created by resource depletion, climate change and rapid urbanisation. Yet as architecture, planning and design professions embrace and promote sustainable development practices the built outcomes are suburban homes that are larger than ever with fewer people per household than in any other point in Australia's history. The major consequence of this shift is twofold. Firstly, the goals of planning and development professions to achieve a more sustainable urban form appear to be in contrast to the design and development of detached dwellings in suburbs. Secondly, as a result of this shift, the socio-cultural view of the home and the suburb has also changed. This thesis asks what these spatial changes reveal about our attitudes towards the suburb, the home and living in a world that is at odds with the environmental challenges we face. It explores how the suburb has altered as a socio-cultural space in the early twenty-first century. Recovering suburbia reflects on planning and architecture's role in reframing the suburb from what Boyd referred to as the mundane aspects of creature comforts and irritatingly austere approach to architecture' (Boyd, 1963, p.192), to todays pervasive view of new conspicuous forms manifested through a real estate lens. This thesis examines the recovery of a suburb, after bushfires in 2003, through a landscape lens. It presents the landscape as a conceptual framing tool to explore how society negotiates the appropriation of space and formation of community in a suburban context. It seeks to understand how this case study dramatises some of the changes occurring in western suburban cities undergoing suburban renewal and uncovers contemporary understandings of land, landscape, property and home. In turn it proposes that landscape's role in framing the twenty-first century suburban city has diminished in our pursuit of a sustainable urban form.

description: The high element abundance and d10 electron configuration make ZnII-based compounds attractive candidates for the development of novel photoactive molecules. Although a large library of purely fluorescent compounds exists, emission involving triplet excited states is a rare phenomenon for zinc complexes. We have investigated the photophysical and -chemical properties of a series of dimeric and monomeric ZnII halide complexes bearing a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (cAAC) as chromophore unit. Specifically, [(cAAC)XZn(μ-X)2ZnX(cAAC)] (X=Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)) and [ZnX2(cAAC)(NCMe)] (X=Br (4), I (5)) were isolated and fully characterized, showing intense visible light photoluminescence under UV irradiation at 297 K and fast photo-induced transformation. At 77 K, the compounds exhibit improved stability allowing to record ultra-long lifetimes in the millisecond regime. DFT/MRCI calculations confirm that the emission stems from 3XCT/LEcAAC states and indicate the phototransformation to be related to asymmetric distortion of the complexes by cAAC ligand rotation. This study enhances our understanding of the excited state properties for future development and application of new classes of ZnII phosphorescent complexes.

Colony varies from corymbose to arborescent forms. Radial corallites labellate, upper part of corallite walls being absent and lower part being developed into a flaring lip, development of which varies among species. Coenosteum between radial corallites open and simple, with few, simple spinules; radial corallites costate (Wallace & Wolstenholme, 1998; Wallace, 1999).
 This is a group of shallow-water species, mostly found on reef flats, inter-island lagoons or the shallow parts of reef slopes (Wallace, 1999). Three morphospecies were found among the material, including the proposal for resurrection of A. herklotsi and the re-description of A. duncani and A. borneoensis. The only extant species represented in the fossil material is A. papillare. The preservation status of some specimens that are severely broken or abraded fragments did not allow identification to species level, but they are included under the aspera group in Table S2.

More specifically, the current investigator hoped to examine how various dimensions of the mind and body interact with psychosocial-environmental factors, which are significantly influenced by cultural processes and reference group membership A cross-sectional study was designed to examine the relationship between health beliefs and health behaviors in sample of 419 adults with Type II diabetes with a focus on the moderating effects of social support, emotional reactions, and experiences of unfair treatment. A self-report questionnaire comprised of 90-items obtained from previously established measures of health beliefs, psychosocial-cultural factors, and health behaviors was administered online via Qualtrics.com. Results of testing a series of measurement and structural models using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed poor fit across all models specified. While these results indicated that the expanded Health Belief Model (eHBM) specified for this study did not adequately describe the diabetes-related thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors for the current sample of participants, findings may have provided preliminary evidence of a three-factor structure reflecting participants’ worries and concerns about their health & perceptions involving challenges or obstacles to successful behavior change, which could interfere with daily life. Although it is unclear whether these results were related to limitations in the measurement instruments and study design, or to differences in the nature of the constructs and the ways in which participants interpreted and responded to the scales, the overall findings of this study suggest a need for research that examines the equivalence of health belief and health behavior measures and greater empirical evidence to ensure that the theories and models used in health research are generalizable across groups of people with varying world-views, identities and lived experiences. Implications for the Health Belief Model (HBM) and ideas for future research are discussed.

description: We study measures $μ$ on the plane with two independent Alberti representations. It is known, due to Alberti, Csörnyei, and Preiss, that such measures are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the result of A-C-P. Assuming that the representations of $μ$ are bounded from above, in a natural way to be defined in the introduction, we prove that $μ\in L^{2}$. If the representations are also bounded from below, we show that $μ$ satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality with exponent $2$, and is consequently in $L^{2 + ε}$ by Gehring's lemma. A substantial part of the paper is also devoted to showing that both results stated above are optimal.

description: We present a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport of an interacting, low temperature Bose-Einstein condensate in a quantum point contact. We show that, in contrast to charged, fermionic superconductors, bosonic systems feature tunneling processes of condensate elements, leading to the presence of odd-order harmonics in the AC Josephson current. A crucial role is played by an anomalous tunneling process where condensate elements are coherently converted into phonon excitations, leading to even-order harmonics in the AC currents as well as a DC contribution. At low bias, we find dissipative components obeying Ohm's law, and bias-independent nondissipative components, in sharp contrast to fermionic superconductors. Analyzing the DC contribution, we find zero thermopower and Lorenz number at zero temperature, a breakdown of the bosonic Wiedemann-Franz law. These results highlight importance of the anomalous tunneling process inherent to charge neutral superfluids. The consequences could readily be observed in existing cold-atom transport setups.

Thermodynamic and spectral properties of compressed Ce calculated by the merger of the local density approximation and dynamical mean field theory

description: We have calculated thermodynamic and spectral properties of Ce metal over a wide range of volume and temperature, including the effects of 4f electron correlations, by the merger of the local density approximation and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The DMFT equations are solved using the quantum Monte Carlo technique supplemented by the more approximate Hubbard I and Hartree Fock methods. At large volume we find Hubbard split spectra, the associated local moment, and an entropy consistent with degeneracy in the moment direction. On compression through the volume range of the observed gamma-alpha transition, an Abrikosov-Suhl resonance begins to grow rapidly in the 4f spectra at the Fermi level, a corresponding peak develops in the specific heat, and the entropy drops rapidly in the presence of a persistent, although somewhat reduced local moment. Our parameter-free spectra agree well with experiment at the alpha- and gamma-Ce volumes, and a region of negative curvature in the correlation energy leads to a shallowness in the low-temperature total energy over this volume range which is consistent with the gamma-alpha transition. As measured by the double occupancy, we find a noticeable decrease in correlation on compression across the transition; however, even at the smallest volumes considered, Ce remains strongly correlated with residual Hubbard bands to either side of a dominant Fermi-level structure. These characteristics are discussed in light of current theories for the volume collapse transition in Ce.

description: A major scientific goal of JWST is to probe the epoch of re-ionization of the Universe at z above 6, and up to 20 and beyond. At these redshifts, galaxies are just beginning to form and the observable objects are early black holes, supernovae, and cosmic infrared background. The JWST has the necessary sensitivity to observe these targets individually, but a public deep and wide science enabling survey in the wavelength range from 2-5 $μ$m is needed to discover these black holes and supernovae and to cover the area large enough for cosmic infrared background to be reliably studied. This enabling survey will also discover a large number of other transients and enable sciences such as supernova cosmology up to z $\sim$ 5, star formation history at high redshift through supernova explosions, faint stellar objects in the Milky Way, and galaxy evolution up to z approaching 10. The results of this survey will also serve as an invaluable target feeder for the upcoming era of ELT and SKA.

description: We extend our earlier work in [TZ1], where an analytic approach to the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture [GS] was developed, to cases where the Spin^c-complex under consideration is allowed to be further twisted by certain exterior power bundles of the cotangent bundle. The main result is a weighted quantization formula in the presence of commuting Hamiltonian actions. The corresponding Morse-type inequalities in holomorphic situations are also established.

description: Generalized Gaussian processes (GGPs) are highly flexible models that combine latent GPs with potentially non-Gaussian likelihoods from the exponential family. GGPs can be used in a variety of settings, including GP classification, nonparametric count regression, modeling non-Gaussian spatial data, and analyzing point patterns. However, inference for GGPs can be analytically intractable, and large datasets pose computational challenges due to the inversion of the GP covariance matrix. We propose a Vecchia-Laplace approximation for GGPs, which combines a Laplace approximation to the non-Gaussian likelihood with a computationally efficient Vecchia approximation to the GP, resulting in a simple, general, scalable, and accurate methodology. We provide numerical studies and comparisons on simulated and real spatial data. Our methods are implemented in a freely available R package.

description: We analyse the structure of the $κ=0$ limit of a family of algebras $A_κ$ describing noncommutative versions of space-time, with $κ$ a parameter of noncommutativity. Assuming the Poincaré covariance of the $κ=0$ limit, we show that, besides the algebra of functions on Minkowski space, $A_0$ must contain a nontrivial extra factor $A^I_0$ which is Lorentz covariant and which does not commute with the functions whenever it is not commutative. We give a general description of the possibilities and analyse some representative examples.
