Rivalry in International Relations: A Mimetic Approach to the Case of the Rivalry in Northern Ireland (1963-2020)
Creators: name: Lanza, Claudio
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2021

description: This PhD dissertation explores how rivalry, understood as a protracted intractable conflict, emerges, and develops. It takes issue with current approaches to rivalry in International Relations (IR) and Peace and Conflict Studies (P&CS) to advance an alternative, innovative, and interdisciplinary Mimetic Rivalry Framework (MRF) that draws on René Girard’s Mimetic Theory. In contrast to existing research on rivalry in IR and P&CS, the MRF argues for the distinctive nature of rivalry vis-àvis other forms of conflict. It challenges several common assumptions – such as the rationalist assumption on human agency, the materialist assumption on rivalry emergence, and the reification of identity as a difference marker – while embracing complexity, relationality, and mimeticism. Informed by several multi-disciplinary theories – namely, Clyde Kluckhohn’s Social Value Theory, Gabriel Tarde’s Theory of Value, and Leon Festinger’s Social-Comparison Theory – the MRF offers a set of indicators able to empirically trace the stages leading an inter-group dyad from a state of non-competition to the stage of rivalry emergence and, finally, to a full-fledged rivalry. To test the empirical robustness of the framework, the thesis then investigates the rivalry between Republicans/Nationalists/Catholics and Loyalists/Unionists/Protestants in Northern Ireland as it developed around two intractable issues: that of territory (1964-1998), and that of language (1998-2020). In contrast to the existing literature, the MRF shows that the atypical intractability of the Northern Ireland rivalry is a product of the extreme similarity of desires, rather than of their difference. Because intractable difference is an artefact of mimetic rivalry, this dissertation argues that the politics in Northern Ireland remains prone to rivalry’s chronic intractability unless the underlying mimetic matrix of mutually exclusive identities is unveiled and challenged. Finally, the thesis suggests that recent developments in communal relations in the Irish language community indicate that the Irish language has the potential for enabling communal reconciliation.

description: General properties of the light and heavy quark propagators have been investigated in the context of string tension interaction. Confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, spectral properties of the propagator are analytically studied and numerically validated. We show that the propagator is analytic in the infrared region even for massless quarks with a non zero radius of convergence. Emergence of more than one mass scale is exemplified. Massless limit of the quark propagator does exhibit critical behaviour.

description: Code readability and software complexity are important software quality metrics that impact other software metrics such as maintainability, reusability, portability and reliability. This paper presents an empirical study of the relationships between code readability and program complexity. The results are derived from an analysis of 35 Java programs that cover 23 distinct code constructs. The analysis includes six readability metrics and two complexity metrics. Our study empirically confirms the existing wisdom that readability and complexity are negatively correlated. Applying a machine learning technique, we also identify and rank those code constructs that substantially affect code readability.

description: The overall aim of the present paper is to better understand the evolution of tubewell ownership in the North China Plain, especially focusing on the factors that determine ownership and its effect on production. Based on a random sample of 30 villages in three counties in the Hai River Basin, our results show that collectively owned tubewells have been gradually privatised. The analyses demonstrate that increasing water and land scarcity and policy intervention (mainly fiscal and financial subsidies for tubewell investment) leads to the observed shifts in tubewell ownership patterns. The results also show that the privatisation of tubewells has affected cropping patterns in the North China Plain. When villages shift towards private tubewells, farmers move into more water-sensitive and high-value crops. Privatisation, however, has no negative effect on crop productivity in the present sample. Importantly, the evolution of tubewell ownership in the villages studied does not accelerate the fall of the groundwater table.

description: In this paper we show that a result of Gross and Kuelbs, used to study Gaussian measures on Banach spaces, makes it possible to construct an adjoint for operators on separable Banach spaces. This result is used to extend well known theorems of von Neumann and Lax. We also partially solve an open problem on the existence of a Markushevich basis with unit norm and prove that all closed densely defined linear operators on a separable Banach space can be approximated by bounded operators. This last result extends a theorem of Kaufman for Hilbert spaces and allows us to define a new metric for closed densely defined linear operators on Banach spaces. As an application, we obtain a generalization of the Yosida approximator for semigroups of operators.

description: Wearable sweat sensors are gaining significant attention due to their unparalleled potential for noninvasive health monitoring. Sweat, as a kind of body fluid, contains informative physiological indicators that are related to personalized health status. Advances in wearable sweat sampling and routing technologies, flexible, and stretchable materials, and wireless digital technologies have led to the development of integrated sweat sensors that are comfortable, flexible, light, and intelligent. Herein, we report a flexible and integrated wearable device via incorporating a microfluidic system and a sensing chip with skin-integrated electronic format toward in-situ monitoring of uric acid (UA) in sweat that associates with gout, cardiovascular, and renal diseases. The microfluidic system validly realizes the real-time capture perspiration from human skin. The obtained detection range is 5–200 μM and the detection limit is 1.79 μM, which offers an importance diagnostic method for clinical relevant lab test. The soft and flexible features of the constructed device allows it to be mounted onto nearly anywhere on the body. We tested the sweat UA in diverse subjects and various body locations during exercise, and similar trends were also observed by using a commercial UA assay kit.

description: We provide a few natural applications of the analytic newvectors, initiated in \cite{JN} arXiv:1911.01880, to some analytic questions in automorphic forms for $\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ with $n\ge 2$, in the archimedean analytic conductor aspect. We prove an orthogonality result of the Fourier coefficients, a density estimate of the non-tempered forms, an equidistribution result of the Satake parameters with respect to the Sato--Tate measure, and a second moment estimate of the central $L$-values as strong as Lindelöf on average. We also prove the random matrix prediction about the distribution of the low-lying zeros of automorphic $L$-function in the analytic conductor aspect. The new ideas of the proofs include the use of analytic newvectors to construct an approximate projector on the automorphic spectrum with bounded conductors and a soft local (both at finite and infinite places) analysis of the geometric side of the Kuznetsov trace formula.

Magnetic Protoneutron Star Winds and r-Process Nucleosynthesis
Creators: name: Thompson, Todd A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Because of their neutron-richness and association with supernovae, post-explosion protoneutron star winds are thought to be a likely astrophysical site for rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis (the r-process). However, the most recent models of spherical neutrino-driven protoneutron star winds do not produce robust r-process nucleosynthesis for `canonical' neutron stars with a gravitational mass of 1.4M_sun and coordinate radius of 10km. These models fail variously; either the flow entropy is too low, the electron fraction is too high, or the dynamical expansion timescale is too long. To date, no models have included the effects of an ordered dipole magnetic field. We show that a strong magnetic field can trap the outflow in the neutrino heating region, thus leading to much higher matter entropy. We estimate both the trapping timescale and the resulting entropy amplification. For sufficiently large energy deposition rates, the trapped matter emerges dynamically from the region of closed magnetic field lines and escapes to infinity. We find that ordered dipoles with surface fields of greater than 6 times 10^14 Gauss increase the asymptotic entropy sufficiently for robust r-process nucleosynthesis.

From the Heart of The Ghoul: C and N Abundances in the Corona of Algol B
Creators: name: Drake, Jeremy J.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrograph observations of Algol have been used to determine the abundances of C and N in the secondary star for the first time. The analysis was performed relative to similar observations of an adopted "standard" star HR 1099. It is demonstrated that HR 1099 and Algol are coronal twins in many respects and that their X-ray spectra are very similar in nearly all details, except for the observed strengths of C and N lines. The H-like transitions of C and N in the coronae of Algol and HR 1099 demonstrate that the surface abundances of Algol B have been strongly modified by CN-processing, as shown earlier by Schmitt & Ness (2002). It is found that N is enhanced in Algol B by a factor of 3 compared to HR 1099. No C lines are detected in the Algol spectrum, indicating a C depletion relative to HR 1099 by a factor of 10 or more. These C and N abundances indicate that Algol B must have lost at least half of its initial mass, and are consistent with predictions of evolutionary models that include non-conservative mass transfer and angular momentum loss through magnetic activity. Little or no dredge-up of material subjected to CN-processing has occurred on the subgiant component of HR 1099. It is concluded that Fe is very likely depleted in the coronae of both Algol and HR 1099 relative to their photospheres by 0.5 dex, and C, N and O by 0.3 dex. Instead, Ne is enhanced by up to 0.5 dex.

description: The tighter linkages between energy and crop markets due to recent climate and energy legislation in the US have large potential environmental impacts beyond carbon sequestration and climate mitigation. These range from effects on water quality and quantity, soil erosion, habitat and biodiversity preservation. These impacts are very location and management-decision specific, as they are the product of atomistic decisions and depend on soil and landscape specific variables. In order to fully understand the effects of biomass markets, the new and stronger linkages and feedback effects between national- and global-scale energy and commodity markets must be properly understood and identified using an integrated perspective. We discuss the various interactions between agricultural and energy markets and their environmental impacts for existing biomass crops and detail how these interactions may be strengthened with the emergence of corn stover as a second generation biofuel feedstock. The tighter coupling of land use and management and energy systems needs to be accounted for to ensure that we have accurate indicators of the sustainability of biomass as an energy resource.

description: We analyze joint angular distributions of a charmonium decay to the $Ξ\barΞ$ pair using the $Ξ\toΛπ\to pπ^-π$ weak decay chain for the cascade and the charge conjugated mode for the anticascade. The decays allow a direct comparison of the baryon and antibaryon decay properties and a sensitive test of CP symmetry in the strange baryon sector. We show that all involved decay parameters can be determined separately in vector and (pseudo)scalar charmonia decays into $Ξ\barΞ$ due to the spin correlations between the weak decay chains. Contrary to the recently measured $e^+e^-\to J/ψ\to Λ\barΛ$ process, the transverse polarization of the cascade is not needed and has almost no impact on the uncertainties of the decay parameters.

description: This Master's thesis presents a comparative analysis of the efforts to codify inclusive language in French and Serbian through the study of linguistic manuals, dictionaries, grammars and guides. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and gender theory, this research examines the linguistic strategies developed to make language more inclusive in both contexts. While French-language resources are characterized by significant linguistic innovations, including the introduction of neopronouns and new grammatical forms, Serbian resources take a more conservative and pragmatic approach, focusing primarily on the feminization of professional titles. The study also highlights the importance of sociopolitical dynamics in the reception and adoption of these linguistic reforms, notably institutional resistance in France and the influence of cultural traditions in Serbia. The research concludes by outlining the challenges and opportunities related to the integration of inclusive language, while calling for greater attention to other dimensions of inclusivity, such as race and disability.

Is T Leonis a superoutbursting intermediate polar?

description: We present an XMM-Newton analysis of the cataclysmic variable T Leo. The X-ray light curve shows sinusoidal variation on a period P_x equal to 0.89^{+0.14}_{-0.10} times the previously spectroscopically determined orbital period. Furthermore, we find a signal in the power spectrum at 414 sec that could be attributed to the spin period of the white dwarf. If true, T Leo would be the first confirmed superoutbursting intermediate polar IP). The spin profile is double-peaked with a peak separation of about 1/3 spin phases. This appears to be a typical feature for IPs with a small magnetic field and fast white dwarf rotation. An alternative explanation is that the 414 sec signal is a Quasi-periodic Oscillation (QPO) that is caused by mass transfer variation from the secondary, a bright region (``blob'') rotating in the disc at a radius of approximately ~9 Rwd or - more likely - a travelling wave close to the inner disc edge of a dwarf nova with a low field white dwarf. The XMM-Newton RGS spectra reveal double peaked emission for the O VIII Ly alpha line. Scenarios in the IP and dwarf nova model are discussed (an emitting ring in the disc, bright X-ray spot on disc edge, or emitting accretion funnels), but the intermediate polar model is favoured. Supported is this idea by the finding that only the red peak appears to be shifted and the `blue' peak is compatible with the rest wavelength. The red peak thus is caused by emission from the northern accretion spot when it faces the observer. Instead, the peak at the rest wavelength is caused when the southern accretion funnel is visible just on the lower edge of the white dwarf - with the velocity of the accreting material being perpendicular to the line of sight.

Cinema and the Urdu Public Sphere: Literary imaginaries in the making of film cultures in north India (1930-50)
Creators: name: Niazi, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2021

description: Urdu language and its literary culture had a considerable influence in shaping the narrative and aesthetic vocabularies of cinematic practice in India. While film scholars have recognized the role of Urdu in film dialogues and lyrics, few have attempted to understand the crucial processes by which film culture was fashioned within the Urdu public sphere. This dissertation aims to map the entangled networks of the literary with the cinematic and brings to light the vibrant debates of the Urdu public sphere on cinema from 1930 to 1950. Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, extensive archival research was conducted to excavate previously undiscovered materials in Urdu on film. In the thesis, these marginalized texts in Urdu are juxtaposed with and studied alongside film sources in Hindi and English to complicate and diversify existing discourses on film in India. The thesis is divided into two sections. The first part focuses on the relationship between cinema and the Urdu public sphere through a study of printed texts such as Urdu film journals, translations of film theory, and biographical dictionaries of actresses and acting manuals. These textual artefacts highlight how cinema as an institution was formalized and disseminated in Urdu with an active engagement in values and codes of etiquette borrowed from an Urdu cultural milieu. I show how these texts were produced with serious pedagogical intent to refine the taste of the cinephiles and at the same time make accessible global film theories through translocation and translation. Part two engages with early sound cinema’s mobilization of the tropes from an Urdu imaginaire, a term I have coined to refer to an affective literary imaginary that provided not only narratives but also cultural frameworks for representation in north Indian cinema in the 1930s and 40s. The coming of sound technology in the 1930s was a momentous technological shift. The thesis demonstrates how cinematic aurality ensured that the Urdu imaginaire blossomed within the film texts through the strategic evocation of the semantics of authority, romance and reform. I employ speculative research trajectories to contextualize the place of the Urdu imaginaire within a heterogenous and variegated film aesthetic by discussing case studies of film personnel, genres, film styles, literary adaptations and codes of respectability in the cinema from 1930 to 1950.

description: In past decades, much progress has been achieved on the origin and evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In-situ observations of the counterparts of CMEs, especially magnetic clouds (MCs) near the Earth, have provided measurements of the structure and total flux of CME flux ropes. However, it has been difficult to measure these properties in the erupting CME flux rope, in particular in the pre-existing flux rope. In this work, we propose a model to estimate the toroidal flux of the pre-existing flux rope by subtracting the flux contributed by magnetic reconnection during the eruption from the flux measured in the MC. The flux by the reconnection is derived from geometric properties of two-ribbon flares based on a quasi-2D reconnection model. We then apply the model to four CME/flare events and find that the ratio of toroidal flux in the pre-existing flux rope to that of the associated MC lies in the range of 0.40--0.88. It indicates that the toroidal flux of the pre-existing flux rope has an important contribution to that of the CME flux rope and is usually at least as large as the flux arising from the eruption process for the selected events.

description: A systematic method of analysing Bethe-Salpeter equation using spectral representation for the relativistic bound state wave function is given. This has been explicitly applied in the context of perturbative QCD with string tension in the $1 \over N$ expansion. We show that there are only a few stable bound state mesons due to the small "threshold mass"(constituent mass) of quarks. The asymptotic properties of the bound states are analytically analysed. The spectrum is derived analytically and compared phenomenologically. Chiral symmetry breaking and PCAC results are demonstrated. We make a simple minded observation to determine the size of the bound states as a function of the energy of the boundstate.

description: Die Forschungsarbeit von Maurus Schönle und Yves Kläy mit dem Titel «Qualitätsstandards im Prozess der Bearbeitung von Grenzverletzungen in Präventions- und Meldestellen von Institutionen der stationären Behindertenhilfe» befasst sich mit der Forschungsfrage «Welche Qualitätsstandards muss ein Prozess zur Bearbeitung von Grenzverletzungen innerhalb von Institutionen der stationären Behindertenhilfe erfüllen, damit ein Diskurs über Grenzverletzungen in Institutionen möglich wird?». Zu Beginn werden zentrale Begriffe, wie Behinderung, Grenzverletzung und Qualitätsstandards (QS) definiert.

In der vorliegenden qualitativen Forschungsarbeit wurde mithilfe von Gatekeepern eine heterogene Stichprobe (n=4) gezogen. Mit zwei Inhaber*innen von institutionsinternen Präventions- und Meldestellen (PuM) und zwei externen Fachpersonen wurden Expert*inneninterviews durchgeführt, welche mit der inhaltlich-strukturierenden und qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz (2014) ausgewertet wurden.

Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigten, dass unterschiedlichste Faktoren als QS eine diskursfördernde Wirkung haben. Diese unterteilten sich in QS aus der Bearbeitung vorgelagerten Prozessen mit indirekt förderlicher Wirkung wie Ressourcen oder der Ausgestaltung der primärpräventiven Prozesse. Aus der Bearbeitung einer Grenzverletzung ergaben sich QS mit direkt förderlicher Wirkung, wie Meldemöglichkeiten oder die Ausgestaltung tertiärpräventiver Prozesse.

 Den Institutionen sollten den PuM genügend finanzielle und personelle Ressourcen und Gefässe für Diskurse zur Verfügung zu stellen und Prozesse sowie Zuständigkeiten sollten klar geregelt sein. Nur so können Qualitätsstandards erfüllt werden.

description: High quality archival spectra of interstellar absorption from C I toward 9 stars, taken with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope, were analyzed. Our sample was supplemented by two sight lines, 23 Ori and B1 Sco, for which the C I measurements of Federman, Welty, & Cardelli were used. Directions with known CH+ absorption, but only upper limits on absorption from C2 and CN, were considered for our study. This restriction allows us to focus on regions where CH+ chemistry dominates the production of carbon-bearing molecules. Profile synthesis of several multiplets yielded column densities and Doppler parameters for the C I fine structure levels. Equilibrium excitation analyses, using the measured column densities as well as the temperature from H2 excitation, led to values for gas density. These densities, in conjunction with measurements of CH, CH+, C2, and CN column densities, provided estimates for the amount of CH associated with CH+ production, which in turn set up constraints on the present theories for CH+ formation in this environment. We found for our sample of interstellar clouds that on average, 30--40 % of the CH originates from CH+ chemistry, and in some cases it can be as high as 90 %. A simple chemical model for gas containing non-equilibrium production of CH+ was developed for the purpose of predicting column densities for CH, CO, HCO+, CH2+, and CH3+ generated from large abundances of CH+. Again, our results suggest that non-thermal chemistry is necessary to account for the observed abundance of CH and probably that of CO in these clouds.

description: Bottle brushes are polymeric macromolecules made of a linear polymeric backbone grafted with side chains. The choice of the grafting density σg, the length ns the grafted side chains and their chemical nature fully determines the properties of each macromolecule, such as its elasticity and its folding behaviour. Typically, experimental bottle brushes are systems made of tens of thousands of monomeric units, rendering a computational approach extremely expensive, especially in the case of bottle brush solutions. A proper coarse graining description of these macromolecules thus appears essential. We present here a theoretical approach able to develop a general, transferable and analytical multi-scale coarse graining of homopolymeric bottle brush polymers under good solvent conditions. Starting from scaling theories, each macromolecule is mapped onto a chain of tethered star polymers, whose effective potential is known from scaling predictions, computational and experimental validations and can be expressed as a function of the number of arms f, and the length na of each arm. Stars are then tethered to one another and the effective potential between them is shown to only depend on the key parameters of the original bottle brush polymer (σg, ns). The generalised form of the effective potential is then used to reproduce properties of the macromolecules obtained both with scaling theories and with simulations. The general form of the effective potentials derived in the current study allows a theoretical and computational description of the properties of homopolymeric bottle brush polymers for all grafting densities and all lengths of both backbone and grafted arms, opening the path for a manifold of applications.

Repression and Animal Advocacy

description: This thesis looks at the dynamics of contention around animal advocacy in four European countries. More specifically, it aims at understanding how and why State and private actors respond to the animal protection movement in attempting to repress it. For this task, it develops a typology of repression centred around three main forms: coercive repression, that encompasses diverse tactics to contain or proactively counter animal advocates within the existing moral and legislative frameworks and legislative and discursive criminalisation. The former consists in the creation of ad hoc laws, while the latter relies on the promotion of a rhetoric that frames activists as extremists or terrorists, or the animal rights ideology itself as dangerous, through a series of processes identified via the development of a specific typology. The cases studied in this work are the UK, Austria and Spain, where significant repression of animal advocates occurred, and Italy, where less repression occurred in a first period, before waning as the movement was gaining momentum–despite a significant level of underground direct action. This work constitutes the first account of the Italian and Spanish movements and their repression. After presenting the main features of the movement’s history and structure in each country, the thesis analyses instances of repression and seeks to determine what factors can enable an understanding of the occurrence of repression. To do so, it tests two traditional hypotheses put forth by repression theorists, pertaining to the threatening character of a movement to repressive agents and to its weakness, that would present less risk of a backfire. The thesis concludes that the repression of the movement is better understood as a result of (varying aspects of) threat in the UK and Austria, weakness in Spain and weakness, or lack thereof, in Italy.
