title: Ecological Impacts of Degassing From Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua
Creators: name: Parkes, Bethan Rose Burson
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Persistent degassing is an unusual type of volcanic activity with considerable environmental impacts, although its effects on downwind ecosystems are poorly researched. Up to 1000 tonnes of SO2 per day are degassed from Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua, and trade winds blow the plume in a WSW direction. A cross-wind transect through this plume provides a natural laboratory for this study on volcanic gases and their impacts on the tropical dry forest. Measurements of gas concentration and deposition rates of SO2, HC1 and HF along the transect were described by Gaussian profiles. These were linked to gas emission at the crater and the wind direction estimated from the HYSPLIT model. SO2 concentration profiles were used to investigate the ecological response to exposure to the volcanic plume along the same transect at two scales: the vegetation community and individual plant traits. The plant community level study found high levels of volcanic SO2 were associated with low species richness, comprising mostly grasses and herbs, an acidic soil, an open canopy and a thin leaf litter layer. Local feedbacks with these environmental variables have likely slowed succession in this area, indicating long-term impacts of volcanic degassing. At the species level, Dalechampia scandens response to SO2 was surprising; its largest leaves were found where volcanic pollution was highest. Elevated H2O, CO2 or nutrient levels from the plume may have benefited these tolerant plants. Compared with vegetation composition, this likely shows a more short-term response to volcanic gas levels. As well as informing ecological studies, fitting Gaussian profiles to volcanic gas data has validated our understanding of plume dispersal. The first evidence of vegetation community and plant trait response to volcanic gases presented here may give useful insights into the impacts of other degassing volcanoes or future industrial pollution in the tropics.

description: The Faddeev Yakubovsky equations constitute a rigorous formulation of the quantum mechanical N body problem in the framework of non relativistic dynamics. They allow the exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for bound and scattering states to be obtained. In this review, we will present the general formalism as well as the numerical tools we use to solve Faddeev Yakubovsky equations in configuration space. We will consider in detail the description of the four and five nucleon systems based on modern realistic nuclear Hamiltonians. Recent achievements in this domain will be summarized. Some of the still controversial issues related with the nuclear Hamiltonians as well as the numerical methods traditionally employed to solve few nucleon problems will be highlighted.

description: This paper provides evidence consistent with firms with Last-in-first-out (LIFO) inventory policy being priced by the market as having lower information risk than First-in-first-out (FIFO) firms. Furthermore, the paper shows that this pricing differential is sustained after controlling for accruals quality, suggesting that the inventory policy signals some information risk characteristics that are not captured by accruals quality measure. We investigate the relation between inventory policy and accruals quality and find that accruals quality is systematically worse for FIFO firms than for LIFO firms after controlling for correlated omitted variables and known firm attributes. These findings complement the currently established relationship between the cost of capital, market pricing and accruals quality by focusing on the need for understanding the incremental effects of individual accounting policies.

description: The rise of fees paid to incumbent auditors for non-audit services (NAS) relative to audit fees has been actively debated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accounting profession, investors, and others. Despite the negative publicity generated by NAS purchases, why do managers continue to purchase increasing quantities of NAS? We contribute to this debate by identifying an important determinant of NAS purchase decisions – the way top managers are compensated. By examining non-audit fees data and compensation data compiled from proxy statements, we find a positive association between NAS purchases and the proportion of performance-based compensation paid to the top five executives. Our findings are consistent with NAS purchases favorably impacting firm performance and consequently enhancing managers’ compensation.

R2P's "ulterior motive exemption" and the failure to protect in Libya
Creators: name: Bachman, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Mass atrocity prevention has been controversial, both when members of the international community have taken ac-tion as well as when they have failed to do so. In 1999, then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan challenged the interna-tional community to reconcile the need to respect state sovereignty with the need to protect populations from egre-gious human rights violations. R2P’s emergence offered an opportunity to move past the discourse and practice associated with its predecessor—“humanitarian intervention.” However, while R2P has succeeded in changing the dis-course, it has failed to make a change in practice. A source of this failure is R2P’s “ulterior motive exemption.” Using the R2P intervention in Libya as a case study, this article concludes that because ulterior motives existed: (1) NATO’s prima-ry intent of civilian protection quickly evolved into the intent to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi; (2) in exceeding its mandate, NATO committed an act of aggression; (3) NATO continued to militarily support the rebels while they were committing war crimes and severe human rights violations; (4) NATO’s actions resulted in civilian casualties, which NATO has refused to investigate; and (5) NATO abdicated its responsibility to protect Libyans from the human suffering that continued subsequent to Qaddafi’s execution.

title: An Alternative Livelihood for a Mining Community in the Sierra Gorda de Querétaro, Mexico. A Sustainability Analysis.
Creators: name: Moreno Martinez, Miguel Angel
Publisher: name: Hochschulbibliothek der Technischen Hochschule Köln
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik

description: This thesis investigates the sustainability of proposed alternative livelihoods for the mining community of Camargo in the Sierra Gorda of Querétaro, Mexico. With the impending ban on mercury mining under the Minamata Convention, the community faces the urgent need to transition to sustainable livelihoods. Utilizing the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) as a guiding theoretical model, this study assesses the current state of the Five Capitals—human, social, natural, physical, and financial—within the community. It also examines the community's perceptions and attitudes toward these alternative livelihoods and evaluates the external influences, such as government and academic institutions, that impact their sustainability.
Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with community members, miners, and external stakeholders, and analyzed using qualitative coding in MAXQDA. The findings reveal a complex interplay between the Capitals of the community and the role that external stakeholders play, highlighting both opportunities and barriers to follow a path of sustainability. 
The study concludes that the livelihoods with most potential for a sustainability path are the cultivation of regional species and the installation of a touristic point in the community. A holistic approach that integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions, while at the same time considers a tailored natural resources management, is essential for ensuring the path of sustainability of the livelihoods. Points of leverage for change are presented for policy and advocacy, infrastructure development of the community, and considering local resource management in the design and implementation of sustainable livelihood strategies.

description: We clarify regions where the canonical approach works well at the finite temperature and density in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and Polyakov-NJL (PNJL) models. The canonical approach is a useful method for avoiding the sign problem in lattice QCD simulations at finite density, but it involves some parameters. We find that number densities computed from the canonical approach are consistent with exact values in most of the confinement phase within the parameters, which are applicable in lattice QCD.

description: Water utility managers play potentially important roles in current and future transitions toward more adaptive and sustainable approaches to water management. We report the results of qualitative interviews and focus groups designed to explore the perspectives of 22 water utility managers in the United States regarding pressures, challenges, and opportunities facing their organizations and communities. Overall, the study participants characterized their jobs as requiring a delicate balance between innovation and reliability, with no room for error in delivering abundant, clean water, but opportunities for creative problem-solving and forward planning. They demonstrated capacity for embracing changes that benefit the longer term future while imposing shortterm costs on their own organizations. Coding of transcripts generated 17 major themes (11 problem categories and six solution categories), which overlap meaningfully with results of previous research on resilience, adaptability, and transformability of socialecological systems. Overlapping themes include social learning and development of social capital through various forms of collaboration, communication, and citizen and stakeholder engagement, as well as capacity for innovation and sufficient authority to make decisions based on system needs without undue political interference or burdensome adherence to rigid rule structures.

description: Cave animals provide a unique opportunity to study contrasts in phenotype and life history in strikingly different environments when compared to surface populations, potentially related to natural selection. As such, we compared a permanent cave-living Gammarus lacustris (L.) population with two lake-resident surface populations analyzing morphology (eye- and antennal characters) and life-history (size at maturity, fecundity and egg-size). A part of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene in the mitochondrion (COI) was analyzed to contrast genetic relationship of populations and was compared to sequences in GenBank to assess phylogeography and colonization scenarios. In the cave, a longer life cycle was implied, while surface populations seemed to have a shorter life cycle. Egg size, and size at maturity for both sexes, were larger in the cave than in surface populations, while fecundity was lower in the cave than in surface populations. The cave population had longer first- and second antennae with more articles, longer first- and second peduncles, and fewer ommatidia than surface populations. The cold low-productive cave environment may facilitate different phenotypic and life-history traits than in the warmer and more productive surface lake environments. The trait divergences among cave and surface populations resembles other cave-surface organism comparisons and may support a hypothesis of selection on sensory traits. The cave and Lake Ulvenvann populations grouped together with a sequence from Slovenia (comprising one genetic cluster), while Lake Lille Lauarvann grouped with a sequence from Ukraine (comprising another cluster), which are already recognized phylogenetic clusters. One evolutionary scenario is that the cave and surface populations were colonized postglacially around 9 000–10 000 years ago. We evaluate that an alternative scenario is that the cave was colonized during an interstadial during the last glaciation or earlier during the warm period before onset of the last glaciation.

description: A one year study of the production systems of 15 agricultural units in a mountain village, has made obvious the importance of beans in the farming system and the major problems posed by the cost of seeds in the total costs of production of this species. Poor means of production, lack of finances, problems of preserving, and high prices of beans at sowing-time, encourage farmers to avoid these obstacles by sowing three-times a year. Very few of them will achieve complete self-supply, and most of them will have to resort to partial and costly purchases, sometimes at the expense of the means of production. The analysis of planning inside the production unit adds to the information given by the Salagnac Research-Development system (1976-1982): observation of techniques, experiments, steady observation of land occupation, agrarian system. This analysis underlines the necessity of continuing the research on species in order to complete the range of bigseed varieties already available, with cheaper smaller seed varieties.

description: The proposed high-energy and high-luminosity Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will provide one of the cleanest environments to precisely determine the nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) in a wide $x$-$Q^{2}$ range. Heavy flavor production at the EIC provides access to nPDFs in the poorly constrained high Bjorken-$x$ region, allows us to study the quark and gluon fragmentation processes, and constrains parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter. Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing a new physics program to study heavy flavor production, flavor tagged jets, and heavy flavor hadron-jet correlations in the nucleon/nucleus going direction at the future EIC. The proposed measurements will provide a unique way to explore the flavor dependent fragmentation functions and energy loss in a heavy nucleus. They will constrain the initial-state effects that are critical for the interpretation of previous and ongoing heavy ion measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. We show an initial conceptual design of the proposed Forward Silicon Tracking (FST) detector at the EIC, which is essential to carry out the heavy flavor measurements. We further present initial feasibility studies/simulations of heavy flavor hadron reconstruction using the proposed FST.

title: Infertility, Blame and Responsibility in the Hippocratic Corpus
Creators: name: Fallas, Rebecca Mary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores infertility in the ancient medical texts. Fertility was a topic of great interest to ancient medical writers and in the last 30 years their views have received considerable attention from modem scholars. Although the subject of infertility has been discussed within the wider context of fertility, there has been little work that focuses specifically on infertility. In fact, the only work that has begun to analyse infertility in any detail is Rebecca Flemming’s 2013 article ‘The Invention of Infertility in the Classical Greek World: Medicine, Divinity, and Gender’. Although Flemming’s work is a welcome addition to the scholarship, it is only the beginning, and Flemming herself highlights that more research is needed on this topic. The aim of this thesis, then, is to undertake a full-scale study of infertility focusing on the ancient texts. I intend to show that by approaching the ancient medical texts with the question ‘what do these texts tell us about infertility?’ instead of ‘what do these texts tell us about fertility?’ the answers, and therefore our understanding of infertility, are very different. The first half of the thesis outlines what infertility meant to the ancient medical writers by looking at factors such as the language of infertility, its perceived causes and its various treatments. The second half seeks to build on the first by analysing how responsibility for infertility was shared between the couple in both theory and practice. In the final two chapters, I explore how the apparent system of blame and protection associated with infertility is articulated by the Hippocratic authors. The focus of this thesis is the Hippocratic corpus, most of which dates from the fifth to fourth centuries BC. However, I also consider other ancient authors, particularly the biological works of Aristotle, in order to place the Hippocratic theories into a wider context. In addition, I will consider evidence beyond the ancient medical texts in order to examine possible alternative sources of advice and treatment available to an infertile couple.

description: Purpose. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public health concern that largely affects women of reproductive age. Obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns) have a unique opportunity to identify and support women experiencing IPV to improve women’s health. Considering recent efforts to increase IPV awareness and intervention, the present study aimed to provide a current evaluation of nationally representative samples to assess ob-gyn readiness to respond to IPV as well as patient IPV-related experiences. Methods. 400 ob-gyns were randomly selected from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ (ACOG) Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network. Each physician wasmailed one physician survey and 25 patient surveys. Results. IPV training/education and IPV screening practices were associated with most measures of ob-gyn readiness to respond to IPV. Among respondents, 36.8% endorsed screening all patients at annual exams; however, 36.8% felt they did not have sufficient training to assist individuals in addressing IPV.Workplace encouragement of IPV response was associated with training, screening, detection, preparation/knowledge, response practices, and resources. Thirty-one percent of patients indicated their ob-gyn had asked about possible IPV experiences during their medical visit. Conclusion. Findings highlight specific gaps in ob-gyns’ IPV knowledge and response practices to be further addressed by IPV training

description: This report represents research on the UBC Food System sustainability project for the Land, Food and Community III class within the faculty of Land and Food Systems. Since 2002, this project has generated a multitude of research reports and campus sustainability initiatives without having a system to track its progression in achieving greater or lesser sustainability. This Community Based Action Research project was given the specific task of mapping this progress from pre-determined indicators that attempt to measure its subsystems’ and overall past and current status regarding sustainability. These subsystems include the UBC Food Services, Alma Mater Society, UBC Farm and UBC Waste Management. Benchmarks were then created as future goals for which the UBC food system− and its components− will strive to attain. These benchmarks were integrated into a model which acts as a ‘visual framework’ to portray the general vision of a sustainable UBC food system and secondly to document and evaluate the projects progress. It was determined that the two purposes of the model would be best embodied by two distinct representations. Borromean Rings, portraying the general vision can serve as an educational tool and an amoeba graph as a managerial one. The findings revealed that out of 31 indicators, 16 were preliminary benchmarked. The remaining 15 could not be benchmarked either because the data is not available or because the indicator itself needed to be re-assessed altogether. It was concluded that the benchmarking process would be more efficient if indicators were developed through a specific set of criteria before being benchmarked.

description: En el area denominada El Cebollal, ubicada en la sabana horticola de Coro, Estado Falcon, Venezuela, caracterizada por presentar un clima arido y suelos de textura franco arenosa a arenosa, se evaluaron nueve cultivares de melon (Cucumis melo L.), durante el lapso de siembra comprendido entre los meses de enero y mayo de 1981. El cultivar mas productivo fue el Cantaloupe Chando, con un rendimiento de 21.723 kilogramos por hectarea, seguido por el hibrido experimental Cantaloupe XPH-914 y el hibrido Carnival, con 16.368 y 14.668 kilogramos por hectarea, respectivamente. Fueron estos ademas, los mas precoces, mostrando un ciclo entre los 70 y 75 dfas entre siembra y cosecha. Se destaca, asimismo, la tendencia al rajado de los frutos del cultivar Chando y la susceptibilidad de los cultivares Crenshaw y Amarelo a las enfermedades conocidas como mildiu lanoso y mildiu polvoriento.

 Coccobius furvus is close to Coccobius viggianii Yasnosh and Coccobius nunu Japoshvili. In C. viggianii there are polygonal cells on both the mesoscutum and scutellum, and elongated cells on the middle of mesoscutum and scutellum. Coccobius viggianii and C. furvus have fewer than 10 setae on the submarginal vein, while there are at least 10 in C. nunu.

description: We examine the effective force between two nanometer scale solutes in water by Molecular Dynamics simulations. Macroscopic considerations predict a strong reduction of the hydrophobic attraction between solutes when the latter are charged. This is confirmed by the simulations which point to a surprising constancy of the effective force between oppositely charged solutes at contact, while like charged solutes lead to significantly different behavior between positive and negative pairs. The latter exhibit the phenomenon of ``like-charge attraction" previously observed in some colloidal dispersions.

description: Two banana intercropping experiments, involving dasheen, cowpea, sweetpotato and groundnut were initiated during the rainy season on farmers' holdings in St. Lucia and St. Vincent. The farmer's existing intercropping practice at each location was included as one of the treatments. In both experiments, the intercrops did not significantly influence the yield and yield components of banana on a system-basis. However, except in Experiment 1, the treatments significantly delayed the production cycle of banana, and the pattern and the extent of delay continued into the first ratoon. Intercropping affected the concentration of nutrients in the banana leaves and some chemical properties of the soil. In general, interplanting resulted in greater cash returns per unit area.

description: Prolonged hyperglycemia can alter retinal function, ultimately resulting in blindness. Adult zebrafish adults exposed to alternating conditions of 2% glucose/0% glucose display a 3× increase in blood sugar levels. After 4 weeks of treatment, electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded from isolated, perfused, in vitro eyecups. Control animals were exposed to alternating 2% mannitol/0% mannitol (osmotic control) or to alternating water (0% glucose/0% glucose; handling control). Two types of ERGs were recorded: (1) native ERGs measured using white-light stimuli and medium without synaptic blockers; and (2) spectral ERGs measured with an AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist, isolating photoreceptor-to-ON-bipolar-cell synapses, and a spectral protocol that separated red (R), green (G), blue (B) and UV cone signals. Retinas were evaluated for changes in layer thickness and for the inflammatory markers GFAP and Nf-κB (RelA or p65). In native ERGs, hyperglycemic b- and d-waves were lower in amplitude than the b- and d-waves of mannitol controls. Alteration of waveshape became severe, with b-waves becoming more transient and ERG responses showing more PIII-like (a-wave) characteristics. For spectral ERGs, waveshape appeared similar in all treatment groups. However, a1- and b2-wave implicit times were significantly longer, and amplitudes were significantly reduced, in response to hyperglycemic treatment, owing to the functional reduction in signals from R, G and B cones. Nf-κB increased significantly in hyperglycemic retinas, but the increase in GFAP was not significant and retinal layer thickness was unaffected. Thus, prolonged hyperglycemia triggers an inflammatory response and functional deficits localized to specific cone types, indicating the rapid onset of neural complications in the zebrafish model of diabetic retinopathy.
