Feminist women's experiences of online gendered hate.
Creators: name: Smith, Jo
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores feminist women's experiences of online gendered hate: abusive, threatening or upsetting acts or comments which are often sexual, violent, or gendered in content, and which target women in public online spaces. This work draws directly on the experiences of feminist women in England and Wales, using data gathered during focus groups and interviews, and analysed within frameworks offered by feminist and hate crime scholars. The participants were feminist women who had directly received abuse themselves, or had experienced online gendered hate indirectly: through reading about this or seeing other women being targeted. Accounts given by participants showed the importance of the internet as a space in which they could practice, perform, and develop their feminism. However this was also a world in which women experienced a continuum of abusive acts. Setting this study apart from existing research is the finding that ‘mundane’ behaviours (often treated as trolling) were seen as abusive and harmful by many of the participants. Using these findings, this research develops a model for conceptualising online gendered hate. Analysis revealed that feminist women's participation in online spaces was disrupted by abusive behaviours. This thesis argues that the ways in which online abuse controls women's participation in the online world is wider than has previously been understood: women did not have to experience abuse directly to be constrained by it. In this, online gendered hate sends a message to all feminist women online about what is (and is not) appropriate performance of difference (Perry, 2001). This research examined how women attempted to fight back and resist online abuse, concluding that no one strategy was successful. Reflection is given to how the findings of this research contribute to contemporary debates on the inclusion of misogyny as a strand of hate crime in England and Wales.

Year: 2024

description: This special issue of settler colonial studies emerges out of a March 2011 conference on settler colonialism in Palestine organised by the Palestine Society and the London Middle East Institute at the School of Oriental and African Studies. It is the editors' hope that this issue will catalyse creative, collaborative work that puts the settler colonial framework firmly on the agenda of Palestine studies. The need for such engagement arises from the editors' recognition that while Zionism and the Palestinians are gradually being included in the growing body of scholarly works on comparative settler colonialism, the analytical framework that comparative settler colonialism offers has yet to enter the field of Palestine studies.

Demand and Pricing Dynamics of Alternative and Conventional Fuel Vehicles in the United Kingdom
Creators: name: MANDYS, FILIP
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: "This thesis examines the drivers of demand and pricing of automobiles in the UK car market through three distinct chapters.
description: Chapter 1 investigates the most likely characteristics of potential electric vehicle (EV) buyers, their preferred vehicle attributes, and the key barriers preventing a widespread EV adoption. Applying the adaptive Lasso, binomial and ordered logit regressions, I find that the likelihood of considering an EV purchase increases primarily with youth, education, being a student, and living in the south of UK. Additionally, purchase cost, performance and range represent the most important vehicle attributes, with high purchase cost and low maximum range being the key adoption barriers.
description: Chapter 2 studies how vehicle characteristics, safety, and equipment influence conventional and alternative fuel vehicle prices. Furthermore, quality constant price indices are estimated, disentangling the growth of car prices into quality change and other factors. By manually constructing a brand-new dataset for the entire UK market 2008-2019, and applying the adaptive Lasso, weighted least squares, and quantile regressions to a hedonic model, I discover that the main drivers of price include vehicle performance and size/massiveness. The prices of alternative fuel vehicles are also more sensitive to any changes in vehicle characteristics. In addition, quality change is estimated to cause around 65% of the total increase in car prices.
description: Chapter 3 examines the drivers of automobile demand, while taking into account price endogeneity, consumer heterogeneity, unobserved vehicle characteristics, and realistic substitution patterns. Combining the dataset of Chapter 2 with consumer demographics and applying the discrete-choice random-coefficient model of Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (BLP, 1995), we find that the key drivers of demand include fuel consumption, vehicle size, and price. Additionally, a ₤1000 increase in prices is estimated to cause a fall in demand by about 3% - 5%, with 0.15% of consumers leaving the market."

Mothers and sisters : instrument and idiom in the music of Maybelle Carter, Memphis Minnie and sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Creators: name: Lewis, Kate G.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This thesis contains a set of studies analysing the idiotechne, or individual playing style, of three pioneering female popular guitar players: Maybelle Carter (1909-1978); Memphis Minnie (1897-1973); and Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973). The main aim of the thesis is to identify and examine how these seminal artists operated within, and contributed to, their respective genres and in so doing, expand the current field of idiotechne studies of guitarists in American popular music. An examination of these particular players will also contribute to a more comprehensive and gender-inclusive history of the instrument. The study begins with a critical review of the relevant scholarly literature surrounding the popular guitar, an introduction to the main subjects, and a discussion of the analytical methods used within the study. The thesis offers a framework for popular guitar idiotechne analysis, based on Moore’s theories of idiolect identification (2005; 2012), in particular the assessment of a player’s interaction within, and beyond, their stylistic context. As such, the study of each player in this thesis is supported by relevant historical sources (Boyer 1979; Evans 1982; 2001; Heilbut 2002; Malone 2010), in order to demonstrate how these players operated within their styles, as well as introduced approaches that were later adopted within general guitaristic and musical practice. The three main chapters of the thesis contain extensive technical analyses supported by original transcriptions. Key attributes for each player are identified and examined, including 1) Maybelle Carter’s modular comping patterns, integrated thumb-lead style, and melodic shadowing, 2) Memphis Minnie’s melodic mapping, master and seed riffs, and creative engagement with call-and-response, and 3) Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s active comping, master chords and riffs, and musical and performative gestures. The final section of the thesis reviews the main findings of the project, and offers suggestions for further research.
Advanced MIMO Technologies for Future Wireless Communication
Creators: name: Wang, Jinfei
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023
Subjects: multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink
non-ergodic communication
spatial non-stationarity
ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC)
extremely large aperture array (ELAA)
precoding

description: The future multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system design is demanding for ultra-reliable low-latency (URLLC) service as well as higher throughput. This brings challenges to MIMO downlink design in three ways. Firstly, to enable URLLC service, the single-shot reliability is of interest rather than the average throughput that was optimized in the conventional MIMO design. Secondly, to achieve higher throughput, the user antennas need to be increased. In this case, if the service-antennas are increased to keep a high ratio of transmit/receive antennas as in conventional massive-MIMO systems, the Rayleigh distance of the base station will increase. Then, the wireless channel is no longer independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading. This leads to the design problem of extremely large aperture array (ELAA). Lastly, if the transmit-antennas are not increased, the MIMO structure becomes (near) symmetric, where the channel is extremely ill-conditioned. To handle this issue, nonlinear precoding (NLP) needs to be employed. However, current NLP techniques have serious scalability problem to support large number of data-streams.

description:

description: This thesis deals with each challenge mentioned above, respectively. To enable URLLC, a beamforming gain prediction approach, namely the Chernoff lower-bound (Cher-LB), is proposed to fulfill extreme single-shot reliability requirement when the transmitter has imperfect channel knowledge. Compared to the literature, the Cher-LB demonstrates good tightness. For ELAA systems, the investigation is focused on the network-ELAA, where multiple access points (APs) are placed on a line with equal distance. An optimal cluster size of APs is obtained to achieve the best beamforming gain. Using this optimal cluster size significantly improves the coverage of network-ELAA for both URLLC and eMBB services. For scalable NLP, the constellation-oriented perturbation (COP) is proposed to provide a better performance-complexity trade-off than the literature. Moreover, the complexity of COP is flexibly controlled and does not change with the MIMO size.

Measurement of 19Ne(p,γ)20Na in relation to explosive stellar phenomena.
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Ryan S.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: The 19Ne(p,γ)20Na reaction is thought to play a significant role in the nucleosynthesis of explosive stellar phenomena, with a single narrow resonant state located above the proton emission threshold in 20Na thought to dominate the stellar reaction rate at oxygen-neon (ONe) novae and X-ray burst temperatures. In this thesis, the properties of this resonance of astrophysical interest, the subject of experimental and theoretical debate for nearly thirty years, have been measured directly for the first time, using the DRAGON recoil separator to investigate an energy region approximately 10 keV higher than previous direct measurements. The resonance of astrophysical interest was populated by bombarding a windowless hydrogen gas target with a beam of 19Ne, produced by the ISAC facility at TRIUMF National Laboratory. The resulting 20Na recoils were transported to the focal plane of DRAGON, where they were stopped and detected, whilst the radiative capture γ-rays were detected in a BGO array surrounding the target, allowing both the resonance energy and resonance strength to be measured. Doing so made it possible to re-evaluate the stellar reaction rate, relative to the results of recent theoretical and indirect studies of the same reaction. This resonant state of interest has also been measured indirectly via a study of the 19F(d,p)20F reaction, performed primarily to commission the TIARA array at Texas A&M University. The silicon array, coupled to the MDM-2 magnetic spectrometer, Oxford focal plane detector and HPGe clover detectors for the first time, was used to measure the highest energy particle-γ coincidence dataset investigating the structure of 20F. This allowed a decay scheme as well as angular distributions to be produced. The TWOFNR reaction code was used to produce theoretical angular distributions which were used to determine spectroscopic factors, the absolute values of which were then compared with the results of historical studies of the 19F(d,p)20F reaction. By commissioning the new experimental set-up, it can now be used to perform indirect measurements of astrophysical reactions, the direct study of which is beyond contemporary technical capabilities.
Enhanced air emission inventory for LCA of Kuwait Crude Oils
Creators: name: Saleh, Khadeejah
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Life cycle Assessments (LCAs) of crude oil derived products such as fuels, petrochemicals and polymers benefit from robust inventories of emissions and consumptions of the specific ways in which the crude oil can be extracted and processed. It is known that there is variation of up to 30% or more in the Greenhouse gas (GHG) ‘footprint’ of different crude oils depending upon the different crude types, production systems, geographic location etc. It is also known that in a number of comparative LCA analyses between petrochemical products and bio-based alternatives there can be rather small differences (e.g. 10 – 20%) in the GHG emissions or other environmental impacts. The large potential range in emissions profile per unit of crude oil and the sometimes-small margin of difference between crude-oil based products and alternatives suggests that the specific route of crude production (and processing) will be an important factor in decision-making and policy centred on environmental criteria. The research in this thesis was conducted to examine the site-specific air emission data, with emphasis on VOCs, for crude oil production and how this could affect the results of LCAs of petrochemical products in comparison with the use of generic LCA database data to characterize the environmental profiles of such products. Company specific air emission data was collected from an upstream crude oil & gas company in Kuwait. The data collected was company available modelled data and new field measurements collected via the use of a mobile laboratory. This emission data was converted to specific substance emission values via Gaussian plume modelling and relating it to crude oil flows in the upstream facilities. Thereby new, specific LCI datasets for the air emissions of Kuwaiti crude oil were developed and deployed in LCAs to assess their effects on the environmental profiles of such crude oil and its end products. These LCAs demonstrated considerable heterogeneity in aspects of the environmental profile of the crude oils and example downstream end products driven by the specific LCI datasets for the various production systems examined.

Year: 1994

description: Throughout the Cold War, the United states and the soviet Union competed for the allegiance of the uncommitted areas of the world. Many of these areas, such as the newly emerging states of Africa sought independence from their colonial masters, some of whom were America's major allies. Yet the United States advocated only a gradual transition to independence lest the new states fall prey to instability and communist penetration.

This study examines the early cold war attempts of the Truman and Eisenhower Administrations to fashion a policy toward Africa which would please Europeans and Africans alike while preventing the growth of communist influence.

The research is primarily based on public documents, such as the Public Papers of the Presidents, the Congressional Record, American Foreign Policy Documents, and the Department of state Bulletins.

Measuring Energy Access and Understanding Non-Cooking Rural Household Transitions in the Nigerian Context
Creators: name: HASSAN, OLUMIDE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: Energy plays an important role in social and economic development, however close to 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity. Improved access and transitions to cleaner and more modern forms of energy are needed to improve the socio-economic conditions of the poor.
description: The recent reductions in the costs of solar electricity technology have led to an increased use of off-grid solar PV technologies for electricity generation in Sub-Saharan African regions without grid access. However, there has been little research regarding the impact on households unable to transition to high-wattage energy services due to the absence of the grid. This research examines the challenges facing rural energy transitions and whether the households feel they are energy ‘locked-in’. A mixed methods approach, which employed in-depth semi-structured interviews with industry experts and questionnaire-based household energy surveys with rural SHS users were performed. A mixture of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, along with thematic analysis, were used to analyse the data collected. The results indicated that (i) a significant number of rural households own appliances that could not be powered by their SHS, and (ii) these households were willing to spend large sums to connect to highe capacity electricity providers, if available. This suggested that a significant number of rural SHS-using households felt they were locked into a low energy future. The use of energy efficient, DC-powered plug-and-play appliances, along with swarm electrification technology, was recommended to move these households up to higher tiers of electricity access.
description: Also, energy access measurement frameworks are important tools for tracking the progress of energy access interventions, and the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF), developed by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) is widely used for this purpose. However, the MTF uses fixed thresholds to define its attributes, and this rigidity suggested it may lack the flexibility required to capture the contextual nuances of household energy access measurements. The data from the household energy surveys was used to propose refinements to the current metrics used in the MTF to make it more contextually relevant to rural Nigerian households. These refinements can help to improve intervention policies for energy access in rural Nigeria.

description: Background: Approximately 180 million people worldwide, (3 % of the world’s population) are infected with hepatitis C (HCV). Insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are common extrahepatic manifestations of chronic HCV infection and associated with poor treatment and liver-related outcomes. The presence of these metabolic complications have been associated with poor response to interferon-based HCV antiviral therapy and increased risk of liver-related outcomes. Metformin, an insulin sensitizer is known to improve HCV treatment response and has been associated with a reduced risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study will evaluate the effect of metformin on preventing progression or promoting regression of liver fibrosis, rate of virologic cure (SVR) and other metabolic measures in HCV-HIV co-infected and HCV mono-infected study participants who have IR and are planning on initiating HCV treatment. Methods This study is a prospective 48-week single-centre, randomized, open-label, controlled trial of HIV-HCV co-infected and HCV mono-infected patients with IR (HOMA-IR ≥ 2.0) who are planning to initiate HCV antiviral therapy. Sixty participants will be recruited from The Ottawa Hospital Viral Hepatitis Clinic. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either arm 1, metformin 2 g (1 g twice daily) plus lifestyle, or to arm 2, lifestyle alone. The primary outcome will be the change in FibroScan® score (kPa) from baseline to week 12 (start of HCV treatment), the end of HCV treatment (week 24) and 24 weeks post HCV treatment (week 48). Secondary outcomes include changes in liver fibrosis using AST to platelet ratio index, changes in glucose and lipid levels, anthropometric measures, changes in alpha-fetoprotein levels, patient acceptability, and changes in dietary and physical activity parameters. Discussion This pilot study will be the first to evaluate the role of metformin on liver fibrosis in HCV-HIV co-infected and HCV mono-infected patients with IR receiving DAA HCV treatment. If metformin is effective in reducing liver fibrosis in this patient population, this will represent a well-tolerated, easy-to-administer, inexpensive therapy that will protect against negative HCV outcomes. This study will also be an opportunity to evaluate the impact of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia on viral clearance in HCV-infected patients treated with interferon-free regimens.

description: Den generelle øgede fokus på klima og CO2 får også i stigende grad virksomheder til at interessere sig for virksomhedens og medarbejdernes transport. Motivationen er naturligvis en omtanke for vor fælles klode, men mobilitetsplaner kan også bidrage til at ”brande” en virksomhed som miljørigtig. Cykel-orienterede tiltag kan desuden kobles sammen med sundhedstiltag, som også i øjeblikket er i fokus i mange virksomheder. I dette paper præsenteres arbejdet med mobilitetsplaner for to konkrete virksomheder: • Teknik- og Miljøforvaltningen (TMF) i Københavns Kommune • Rambøll

It's them, themselves and their thoughts.. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of staff members' Experience of Self-harm and Aggression in an inpatient ward
Creators: name: Kay, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: Self-harm and aggression are common behaviours exhibited in inpatient wards. Staff attitudes and perceptions influence their interactions with Service users (SUs) who exhibit these behaviours. This study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to guide the analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight clinical staff members currently working in mental health inpatient wards and who had experience caring for SUs who engage in self-harm and aggression. Three superordinate themes emerged from the data analysis. These included: The importance of ‘Understanding why’ service users self-harmed or were aggressive and how talking about this was a key intervention; aggression and self-harm were understood differently by some. ‘Pressures from different directions’ describe the intense pressure that participants experienced when working on the ward, balancing demands from management and supporting SUs the impact that this had on their own mental health was discussed. ‘The restrictive environment’ was discussed in relation to self-harm and aggression. The ward environment was seen as contributing to self-harm and aggression but was also utilised as an intervention to manage these behaviours. The findings are considered in relation to trauma-informed environment theory, the cognitive-emotional model of ‘dual harm’ and existing research. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

description: Siden den nationale transportvaneundersøgelse (TU) i 2006 blev genoptaget med en ny og forbedret spørgeteknik, er knap 2 % af alle danskere blevet spurgt indgående og konkret om deres transport. Datakvaliteten, datamængden og ikke mindst den geografisk stedfæstelse af rejserne gør, at det nu er muligt at lave analyser af transportadfærden på bestemte dele af vejnettet, i bestemte områdetyper eller i afgrænsede geografiske områder. I artiklen introduceres TU, og de nye analysemuligheder eksemplificeres med en kortlægning af transportefterspørgslen i Region Midtjylland.

description: Background: Cortisol is a hormone involved in many physiological functions including fetal maturation and epigenetic programming during pregnancy. This study aimed to use hair cortisol as a biomarker of chronic inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) exposure and assess the potential effects of asthma on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in pregnant women. We hypothesized that pregnant women with asthma treated with ICS would exhibit lower hair cortisol concentrations, indicative of adrenal suppression, compared to women with asthma not using ICS and women who do not have asthma. Methods: We performed an observational retrospective cohort study. Hair samples were analyzed from pregnant women with asthma, with (n = 56) and without (n = 31) ICS treatment, and pregnant women without asthma (n = 31). Hair samples were segmented based on the growth rate of 1 cm/month and analyzed by enzyme immunoassay to provide cortisol concentrations corresponding to preconception, trimesters 1–3, and postpartum. Hair cortisol concentrations were compared within and among the groups using non-parametric statistical tests. Results: Hair cortisol concentrations increased across trimesters for all three groups, but this increase was dampened in women with asthma (P = 0.03 for Controls vs. ICS Treated and Controls vs. No ICS). ICS Treated women taking more than five doses per week had hair cortisol concentrations 47 % lower in third trimester than Controls. Linear regression of the third trimester hair cortisol results identified asthma as a significant factor when comparing consistent ICS use or asthma as the predictor (F(1, 25) = 9.7, P = 0.005, R2 adj = 0.257). Conclusions: Hair cortisol successfully showed the expected change in cortisol over the course of pregnancy and may be a useful biomarker of HPA axis function in pregnant women with asthma. The potential impact of decreased maternal cortisol in women with asthma on perinatal outcomes remains to be determined.

description: The ongoing Indo-Eurasian convergence leads to great megathrust earthquakes in the Himalayan region, affecting the life and infrastructure of the world’s most densely populated areas adjoining the Himalaya. The ~2500-km long Himalayan arc has experienced several earthquakes having magnitude greater than Mw 7.5 during the last millennium. While palaeoseismic and fault slip-rate studies have gained pace during the last few decades in the Western and Central Himalayan regions, the Eastern Himalaya and contiguous regions remain understudied. Even though geological evidence of great earthquakes in 1697, 1714, and 1950 CE has been reported in the Eastern Himalaya, the lateral extent of their rupture is still debated due to limited and sparse palaeoseismic studies. Furthermore, the segmentation of the eastern Himalaya raises concerns about the role of sub-surface transverse structures in controlling the rupture propagation of large to great earthquakes. Hence, we have compiled all the palaeo-earthquake studies carried out in the eastern part of the Himalayan convergent plate margin of the Indian Subcontinent and identified the potential gap areas with the slip deficit, which are capable of generating Mw > 8 earthquakes in the future. This study aims to provide a foundation for future palaeo-earthquake studies, which are crucial in understanding the earthquake recurrence and the strain release pattern in the region.
A search for radio pulsars: from millisecond pulsars to magnetars
Creators: name: Levin, Lina
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit radiation in beams observable with telescopes at various wavelengths. They are used to study a wide variety of physical and astrophysical phenomena, e.g. for the detection of gravitational waves. This thesis describes the search for pulsars as part of the southern High Time Resolution Universe survey currently underway at the Parkes Radio Telescope. The searched sub-survey returned 104 previously unknown pulsars, including 26 sources that belong to the group of millisecond pulsars. A major find in the survey is the radio magnetar PSR J1622-4950. Magnetars are slowly rotating neutron stars with extremely large surface magnetic field strengths, that occasionally undergo large outbursts of radiation. PSR J1622-4950 is the first of its kind to be discovered by its radio emission alone.
