Urban Indigenous perspectives and experiences with play
Creators: name: Field, Shannon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: There are few universally agreed upon definitions of play. Furthermore, the way play is defined, understood, acted out, and valued, varies across cultures, yet the conceptualization of play within the context of Indigenous cultures has yet to be explored. This research sought to understand how urban Indigenous families conceptualized and experienced play. This included an exploration into what activities were included in play, and what factors influenced play for Indigenous families. This research used Métis methodologies: wahkootowin (kinship) and kiyokewin (visiting). These two concepts are interrelated in that they both speak to upholding and maintaining strong relationships through acts of relational accountability. These concepts also provided a theoretical perspective for understanding the connections between play, family, and wellbeing. Kiyokewin was practiced during five semi-structured interviews amongst a total of 12 people (7 adults and 5 children). The meetings provoked dialogue, which was further facilitated through the creation of art pieces and engaging in play. A thematic analysis of the interview transcripts was conducted to reveal five themes: (1) Play activities vary widely, (2) Play engages wahkootowin, (3) Play is conceptualized as an experience, (4) Play engagement is affected by many factors, and (5) Play can be part of kiyokewin. Participants named a wide variety of activities they engaged in with family, individually, or through organized programs. In describing their experiences, they spoke to their personal conceptualizations of play, describing how it was experienced and the feelings it evoked. They also discussed the importance of family and community in play, and how play provides the opportunity to bring people together. Participants identified many factors that influenced play engagement including interests, people involved, health status, colonization, and logistics. This work also demonstrated that play is one way to strengthen wahkootowin, and contribute to wellbeing. This study offered unique insights into the perspectives of urban Indigenous peoples regarding play within their families. It was benefitted by using Métis approaches to research that allowed for story sharing and engaged family members of all ages. The results offer numerous opportunities for further study, as well as recommendations for play programmers.
Accessing the Neel phase of ultracold fermionic atoms in a simple-cubic optical lattice

description: We examine the phase diagram of a simple-cubic optical lattice half-filled by two species of fermionic atoms with a repulsive s-wave contact interaction. We use the Hartree approximation in the regime of weaker interactions, and a Hubbard model approximation in the Mott insulating phase. The regime where the Neel phase of this system is likely to be most accessible to experiments is at intermediate lattice strengths and interactions, and our two approximations agree fairly well in this regime. We discuss the various issues that may determine where in this phase diagram the Neel phase is first produced and detected experimentally, and analyze the quantum phases that occur in the intermediate lattice strength regime.

description: The one-dimensional dynamics of a classical ideal 'exotic' fluid with equation of state $p=p(ε) < 0$ violating the weak energy condition is discussed. Under certain assumptions it is shown that the well-known Hwa-Bjorken exact solution of one-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics is confined within the future/past light cone. It is also demonstrated that the total energy of such a solution is equal to zero and that there are regions within the light cone with negative $(-)$ and positive $(+)$ total energies. For certain equations of state there is a continuous energy transfer from the $(-)$-regions to the $(+)$-regions resulting in indefinite growth of energy in the $(+)$ regions with time, which may be interpreted as action of a specific 'Perpetuum Mobile' (Perpetuum Motion). It is speculated that if it is possible to construct a three-dimensional non-stationary flow of an exotic fluid having a finite negative value of energy such a situation would also occur. Such a flow may continuously transfer positive energy to gravitational waves, resulting in a runaway. It is conjectured that theories plagued by such solutions should be discarded as inherently unstable.

description: We note that massless fields within the future and past light cone may be quantized as independent systems. We show that the vacuum is an entangled state of these systems, exactly mirroring the known entanglement between the spacelike separated Rindler wedges. We describe a detector which exhibits a thermal response to the vacuum when switched on at t=0. The feasibility of experimentally detecting this effect is discussed.

description: The launch of JWST has ushered in a truly unique time for the detection of planetary systems around white dwarfs, a hitherto nearly uncharted wavelength range for the large majority of nearby white dwarfs. Since 25-50% of all white dwarfs show evidence for complex planetary systems due to the pollution of their atmospheres from rocky material, they are a potentially rich population to survey in the mid-IR, where cool dust and cool exoplanets are detectable through direct imaging or against the faint photospheres of their host stars. By understanding the demographics of white dwarf planetary systems, we understand the fate of our solar system and access very cool planets hard to see around main sequence stars.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Drug discovery and development is a cost and time burdensome process that has stagnated the entry of new drugs into
the market. The traditional process for drug development can take approximately 12 to 16 years and cost
approximately $1 to $2 billion [1]. Pre-clinical research consists of laboratory and animal testing of a drug compound.
Consequently, Phases I through III clinical trials determine drug safety, efficacy, and therapeutic effect, respectively.
Then, in America, the drug candidate is pushed for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review. Due to the high cost
and time burden of the traditional process of drug development, finding whether an existing drug can be re-positioned
(i.e., repurposed) for treatment of a different disease that this drug hasn’t been indicated to in the drug label is an
alternative, more cost-effective option to address many of the barriers to getting a drug to the market.

I have to say that the questions of copyright and authorship and hybrid value of objects, among them artworks, are actually at the core of my artistic practice. I am also very interested in the question of labor, especially in how labor became immaterial since the beginning of cognitive capitalism or late-capitalism. I’m interested in the questions of immaterial and invisible labor as well as hidden exploitation of social energies.

Copyrightability of Conceptual Art: An Idea Whose Time Hasn’t Come

description: My job really is to kind of throw a wet blanket on the hopes for copyright protection for works of this nature. And that wet blanket has a name, which is 17 U.S.C. § 102(a), and Rob Kasunic, Professor Liu both spoke at some length about this, so I’m not going into it.1 We’ve all read it a thousand times and we all know what it says. It says that works have to be fixed in a tangible medium. That’s in paragraph (a), and then there is a list of types of works of authorship, which “include the following categories,” and as Professor Liu pointed out, the word “include” has basically been read out of the statute. Courts and the Copyright Office basically take the position that if it’s not on this list, it’s not going to be subject to copyright protection. There really is no leeway, I think, in practice at least, for the courts to create new categories of works. So the job often becomes trying to shoe-horn an existing work that doesn’t fit into one of these categories into one of these categories. And that’s not always so easy to do.

title: Reworking the common sense of British Muslims: Salafism, culture, and politics within London’s Muslim community
Creators: name: Dawood, Iman
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2021

description: The rise of Salafism in various localities around the world has captured the attention of many researchers. Existing approaches to Salafism do not, however, give enough attention to the cultural dimensions of the movement. This thesis thus proposes the adoption of a Gramscian lens in the study of contemporary Salafism—one that takes seriously power and politics as well as culture and religion. Taking London’s Muslim community as a case study, it examines the attempts of Saudi Arabia (and other members of the transnational Salafi historical bloc) to introduce Salafism as an alternative hegemonic conception within London’s Muslim community. It explores the Salafi movement through all its “molecular phases” between 1980-2020, focusing on how the movement has impacted the common sense (or taken for granted heterogenous ideas) of British Muslims through the years. Based on more than 150 interviews and 20 months of participant observation in Salafi and non-Salafi spaces in London, it argues that Salafism is no longer confined to Salafi shaykhs (scholars), leaders, or members of the movement, but that elements of it have become ingrained in the common sense of a much wider segment of London’s Muslim community. At the same time, however, it finds that this has been a far from straightforward, complete, or irreversible process. In fact, it finds that even British Muslims who adopted Salafism during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, have experienced several contradictions as they attempted to live their lives according to a Salafi conception of the world, and many have gone on to rethink Salafism. This thesis also pays particular attention to the lives of Salafi women, challenging accounts that present them as fully compliant with Salafism, and shedding light on their conscious and unconscious departures from Salafi gender norms.
Neutrino masses and mixing, lightest neutralino decays and a solution to the $μ$ problem in supersymmetry

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We examine in detail the neutrino masses and mixing patterns in an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with three gauge-singlet neutrinos and R-parity violation. The Majorana masses for the gauge-singlet neutrinos as well as the usual $μ$-term for the Higgs superfields are generated at the electroweak scale through the vacuum expectation values of the singlet sneutrinos. The resulting effective mass matrix for the three light neutrinos have contributions from the seesaw mechanism involving the singlet neutrinos as well as due to the mixing with the heavy neutralinos. This model is popularly known in the literature as the "$μ$ from $ν$ supersymmetric standard model" ($μν$SSM). We show that even with flavour diagonal neutrino Yukawa couplings, the global data on three-flavour neutrinos can be well accounted for in this scenario, at the tree level. We also analyze the mixing in the chargino and the Higgs sector and calculate the decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle in this model. The decay branching ratios show certain correlations with the neutrino mixing angles, which can be tested at the LHC. Some other phenomenological implications of such a model have been discussed.

If It’s Broke, Fix It

description: The fixation requirement, once an intended instrument for added flexibility in copyrightability, has become an unworkable standard under modern copyright law. The last twenty-five years have witnessed a dramatic expansion in creative media. Developments in both digital media and contemporary art have challenged what it means to be fixed, and cases dealing with these works reveal how inapposite current interpretations of fixation are for these forms of expression. Yet, getting fixation “right” is important, for it is often the juridical threshold over which idea becomes expression. Thus, we must enable fixation to help define the parameters of creative expression while not discriminating against dynamic and digital works. In previous work, Steven Hetcher and I have identified problems with the fixation requirement as it applies to modern creative expression and have argued for changes that would amend the fixation requirement to better function in the modern era.1 This Essay furthers that argument. As part of the Kernochan Center Symposium, “Copyright Outside the Box,” I argued that the transitory duration exclusion for copyrightability should be stricken from the definition of fixation to better enable it to reflect the parameters of modern creative expression. Agnieszka Kurant’s art serves as an example of this need for change. Removing the exclusion for transitory works, while maintaining the stability requirement, would retain the essence of the definition of fixation under the Copyright Act but enable application to modern forms of creative expression, including both contemporary art and digital works.

On-field assessment and application of instrumented mouthguards in measuring head impact and concussion biomechanics
Creators: name: Luke, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Instrumented mouthguards measure on-field sports head impact and concussion biomechanics. While an increasing number of studies have applied mouthguard sensors, potential kinematic error associated with on-field mouthguard coupling variations have not been quantified. In addition, past research has been heavily biased in study population, lacking sex and sport diversity. Studies of concussion mechanisms have also primarily concentrated on single severe impacts with limited investigation of repeated impact exposure mechanisms. This research aims to assess and apply instrumented mouthguards in on-field settings to investigate head impact biomechanics and their injury influence in sports. We deployed mouthguard sensors to university women’s rugby and men’s hockey athletes during competitive seasons. Coupling categories were defined using on-field proximity sensor data before comparing signal characteristics between categories. Additionally, impacts from women’s rugby and men’s hockey were characterized using head kinematics- and brain deformation-based injury criteria. The cumulative effect of head impacts on concussion risk was investigated by modifying and applying a time-weighted exposure injury criterion to concussion and non-concussion datasets. Results showed that poorly coupled mouthguards led to higher angular kinematics and high-frequency noise. In our impact biomechanics characterization, women’s rugby impacts showed lower angular kinematics. Our modified time-weighted exposure metric showed increased sensitivity in differentiating concussion and non-concussion days compared to the same-day impact frequency, timing, and magnitudes separately. From our findings, we demonstrate the potential for using proximity sensors in instrumented mouthguards to assess on-field head impact coupling and data quality. Characterization of women’s rugby and men’s hockey head impacts and comparison with existing literature revealed that impact kinematics may vary by sensor type, age, sport, and sex. These differences must be accounted for when developing injury mitigation techniques, particularly in women’s sports. Finally, considering head impact history may allow for increased sensitivity in predicting concussions. In summary, this thesis contributes novel insights into on-field instrumented mouthguard data quality, potential sport- and sex-based differences in head impact exposure, and the role of repeated impact exposure in concussion risk. The findings from this work may be applied in future research for more rigorous sensor-based investigation of sports head impacts and concussions.

description: Many conceptual artists creating art in the contemporary era rebel against staid notions of what art can be, by using found, recycled, nontraditional, or natural materials.1 For example, noted photographer and sculptor Andy Goldsworthy works only with natural materials, typically found outside, and transformed through use of his hands, teeth, and found tools: “His raw material is the natural world. He balances slivers of sandstone, slate, and oak into improbable cairns; painstakingly fuses sycamore leaves and horse-chestnut stalks into filigree shapes; molds humpback sculptures out of sand; and fashions giant snowballs that gently melt to reveal pebbles, pine needles, and twigs.” 2 He writes: “[I] can’t edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.” 3 Goldsworthy’s artistic mission, in other words, is to work with materials in the natural world with the understanding that they will decay, or last only ephemerally

description: We consider non-vanishing boundary conditions (NVBC) for the NLS model [6,7,27] in the context of the hybrid dressing transformation and $τ$-function approach. In order to write the NLS model in a suitable form to deal with non-vanishing boundary conditions it is introduced a new spectral parameter in such a way that the usual NLS parameter will depend on the affine parameter through the so-called Zukowsky function. In the context of the dressing transformation the introduction of the affine parameter avoids the construction of certain Riemann sheets for the usual NLS spectral parameter. In this way one introduces a Lax pair defined for the new spectral parameter and the relevant NVBC NLS $τ$ functions are obtained by the dressing transformation method. We construct the one and two dark-soliton solutions explicitly.

description: The title of my talk today is, “What Belongs in Copyright?” When Jane invited me to speak, she asked me to provide a “more Olympian perspective” on the issues of authorship, originality, and fixation that are the subjects of today’s conference. And while I don’t pretend to have any Zeus-like powers of insight or observation, I do hope to provide at least some general thoughts about the question implied by the title of this conference, namely, what properly belongs within the scope of copyright. In particular, I want to spend some time talking about how copyright law constructs the box that defines what is inside copyright and outside. I will start by very briefly surveying some of the doctrines that define what can be copyrighted. I will then talk a bit about what theory or set of theories we might look at to help decide these difficult boundary cases, to help decide what belongs in that box. And finally, at the very end I will suggest that underlying all of these doctrines and theories are relatively unexamined aesthetic judgments about what counts as copyrightable subject matter, judgments that we should probably take more expressly into account when deciding when something is copyrightable. My goal in these remarks is not so much to provide any specific answers, but to set the table and provide some general frameworks for the more detailed discussion to come.

I also want to thank everyone at the Kernochan Center and the Journal of Law and the Arts for their assistance. It’s always a pleasure to be here—a block from where I grew up. And an entire event about copyrightability, what a wonderful thing. This topic is usually covered in just a couple minutes in a panel, but I really want to welcome you to my world at the U.S. Copyright Office. I’d also like to take a moment for a pitch for a twenty-first century Copyright Office as well. This is a picture of the Office as it appeared in the 1920s, so we are actually not still using typewriters. This is a more current view of my office that, on a daily basis, examines more claims than the federal courts review in any given year. The issues that come up are enormously varied and complex. But where we start our assessment of copyrightability in the Office is where we start when we first begin studying copyright law, and where we start when we’re teaching copyright with our students—back to the basic principles of copyright, and some of the seminal cases on creativity.

First, we investigate if contextual information such as intergroup/intragroup comparisons and group/individual level framing of inequalities affects the likelihood of making structural attributions to race-based inequalities in academic achievement. Second, we investigate if the likelihood of making structural attributions differs based on individual characteristics, such as the individuals’ race/ethnicity, subjective and objective social status, and belief in meritocracy and a just world. Results and its implications will be discussed in the paper.

In this essay we show that quantum field renormalization significantly influences the generation of primordial perturbations and hence the expected measurable imprint of cosmological inflation on the CMB. However, the new predictions remain in agreement with observation, and in fact favor the simplest forms of inflation. In the near future, observations of the influence of gravitational waves from the early universe on the CMB will test our new predictions.

description: Current approaches to the engineering of space software such as satellite control systems are based around the development of feedback controllers using packages such as MatLab's Simulink toolbox. These provide powerful tools for engineering real time systems that adapt to changes in the environment but are limited when the controller itself needs to be adapted. We are investigating ways in which ideas from temporal logics and agent programming can be integrated with the use of such control systems to provide a more powerful layer of autonomous decision making. This paper will discuss our initial approaches to the engineering of such systems.

description: It is now common knowledge that if you put a bunch of monkeys in a room with a typewriter, they will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare. But according to the United States Copyright Office, if you give that same group of monkeys a camera, you do not get copyright in any pictures they may happen to take. In 2011, British wildlife photographer David Slater was in Indonesia when a group of crested black macaques began playing with his camera equipment and snapped some pictures, one of which went viral and proved temporarily profitable for Slater. The image became the source of dispute when Wikipedia refused Slater’s request to remove the image from its website and asserted that the photograph was taken by an animal and was therefore uncopyrightable.5 Seemingly in response to this squabble, the Copyright Office updated the section on the “human authorship” requirement in the Third Edition of its Compendium, stating that it “will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants” and cites, inter alia, “[a] photograph taken by a monkey” as an example.6 Referring to Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony, the Compendium asserts that “[t]o qualify as a work of ‘authorship’ a work must be created by a human being” and “[w]orks that do not satisfy this requirement are not copyrightable.” Given the Copyright Office’s explicit rejection of any cognizable copyright protection in photographs taken by a monkey, any legal action taken by Slater is likely to fail. Although Slater’s situation appears to be an open and shut case when viewed in isolation, the occurrence triggers larger issues, especially where artists may be prevented from capitalizing on works that are capable of producing substantial income. This Note seeks to break down and understand the Copyright Office and circuit courts’ aversion to recognizing a protectable copyright interest in works “authored” by nature and explore any inconsistencies. It seems clear that something in the copyright system is out of sync with reality when countless works of little to no cultural significance can claim copyright protection, while other works that exhibit far more intellectual, physical, or monetary investment will be left defenseless. The monkey selfie debacle and other examples will be used as specimens for understanding the issues at play, as other cases and theories are investigated

description: BACKGROUND: Oral anticancer agents (OAAs) transformed cancer care for patients, extending survival and delaying progression in certain cases. There are multiple pharmacy-driven models to improve patient knowledge and adherence to OAAs. However, a lack of measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) has limited the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of these models. The objective of this study was to identify a set of KPIs, their metrics, and the target values that indicated improved patient care through an OAA adherence program.
METHODS: A literature review was conducted to identify an initial list of defined KPIs, metrics of the KPIs, and targets for success. We assembled an advisory panel of clinicians (n=9), administrators (n=7), and patients (n=2) from across an academic and affiliated community cancer center to gauge agreement on identified KPIs for use within a structured adherence intervention. We used a Qualtrics survey consisting of questions measured using a 5-point Likert scale response that ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) and a subsequent consensus-building discussion with the advisory panel to identify agreeability with the definitions, metrics, and targets of identified KPIs.
RESULTS: Eleven KPIs were identified: (1) time to intended OAA initiation; (2) adherence rate during active treatment; (3) adverse events; (4) medication-related financial toxicity; (5) patient satisfaction; (6) treatment-related emergency department visits; (7) treatment-related hospital admissions; (8) proportion of patients with adherence, toxicity, and financial barriers assessed; (9) proportion of patients referred to social work; (10) time spent by patient in each phase of care as defined by the intervention's standard operating procedure; and (11) revenue generated by billing for service.
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified 11 KPIs that can be used in evaluating the success of an OAA adherence program. Use of these KPIs will be piloted after formal implementation of the program in both academic and community cancer centers.
Optional Copyright Renewal? Lessons for Designing Copyright Systems

description: When Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante gave the Manges Lecture two years ago, she suggested that we explore drafting the “Next Great Copyright Act.”1 Creating that Act will require hard thinking about how to adapt copyright law to meet the challenges of our current legal, cultural, and technological era. But even with great ideas about how to adapt the law, creating the Next Great Copyright Act will also require designing a copyright statute that implements those ideas. Tonight, I’d like to explore the constraints and complexities that will confront the copyright bar as we try to design particular features of a “Next Great Copyright Act.” As we think about copyright law revision, many different people will want to rewrite many different statutory provisions in many different ways. Revision ideas that have already been mentioned involve statutory licensing, public performance rights for sound recordings, recordation of transfers,2 statutory damages, orphan works, a resale royalty for visual artists, federal protection for pre-1972 sound recordings, incidental copies, and digital first sale, just to name a few.

Investigating the Disk-Corona Relation in a Blue AGN Sample

description: We compile a blue AGN sample from SDSS and investigate the ratio of hard X-ray to bolometric luminosity in dependence on Eddington ratio and black hole mass. Our sample comprises 240 radio-quiet Seyfert 1 galaxies and QSOs. We find that the fraction of hard X-ray luminosity (log$(L_{\rm 2-10 kev}/L_{\rm bol})$) decreases with the increase of Eddington ratio. We also find that the fraction of hard X-ray luminosity is independent on the black hole mass for the radio-quiet AGNs. The relation of log$(L_{\rm 2-10 kev}/L_{\rm bol})$ decreasing with increasing Eddington ratio indicates that X-ray bolometric correction is not a constant, from a larger sample supporting the results of Vasudevan & Fabian (2007). We interpret our results by the disk corona evaporation/condensation model (Meyer et al. \cite{me200}; Liu et al. 2002a; Liu et al. 2007). In the frame of this model, the Compton cooling becomes efficient in cooling of the corona at high accretion rate (in units of Eddington rate), leading to condensation of corona gas to the disk. Consequently, the relative strength of corona to the disk becomes weaker at higher Eddington ratio. Therefore, the fraction of hard X-ray emission to disk emission and hence to the bolometric emission is smaller at higher Eddington ratio. The independence of the fraction of hard X-ray luminosity on the mass of the black hole can also be explained by the disk corona model since the corona structure and luminosity (in units of Eddington luminosity) are independent on the mass of black holes.

description: Hawking effect from a dynamical Kerr black hole is investigated using the improved Damour-Ruffini method with a new tortoise coordinate transformation. Hawking temperature of the black hole can be obtained point by point at the event horizon. It is found that Hawking temperatures of different points on the surface are different. Moreover, the temperature does not turn to zero while the dynamical black hole turns to an extreme one.

Long range rapidity correlations and jet production in high energy nuclear collisions

description: The STAR Collaboration at RHIC presents a systematic study of high transverse momentum charged di-hadron correlations at small azimuthal pair separation \dphino, in d+Au and central Au+Au collisions at $\rts = 200$ GeV. Significant correlated yield for pairs with large longitudinal separation \deta is observed in central Au+Au, in contrast to d+Au collisions. The associated yield distribution in \detano$\times$\dphi can be decomposed into a narrow jet-like peak at small angular separation which has a similar shape to that found in d+Au collisions, and a component which is narrow in \dphi and \textcolor{black}{depends only weakly on} $\deta$, the "ridge". Using two systematically independent analyses, \textcolor{black}{finite ridge yield} is found to persist for trigger $\pt > 6$ \GeVc, indicating that it is correlated with jet production. The transverse momentum spectrum of hadrons comprising the ridge is found to be similar to that of bulk particle production in the measured range ($2 < \pt < 4 \GeVc$).
