description: We analyse a relativistic scalar particle with a position-dependent mass in a spacetime with a space-like dislocation by showing that relativistic bound states solutions can be achieved. Further, we consider the presence of the Coulomb potential and analyse the relativistic position-dependent mass system subject to the Coulomb potential in the spacetime with a space-like dislocation. We also show that a new set of relativistic bound states solutions can be obtained, where there also exists the influence of torsion of the relativistic energy levels. Finally, we investigate an analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states in this position-dependent mass in a spacetime with a space-like dislocation.

description: This paper discusses grounded acquisition experiments of increasing complexity. Humanoid robots acquire English spatial lexicons from robot tutors. We identify how various spatial language systems, such as projective, absolute and proximal can be learned. The proposed learning mechanisms do not rely on direct meaning transfer or direct access to world models of interlocutors. Finally, we show how multiple systems can be acquired at the same time.

Coping with Disasters: Two Centuries of International Official Lending

description: Official (government-to-government) lending is much larger than commonly known, often surpassing total private cross-border capital flows, especially during disasters such as wars, financial crises and natural catastrophes. We assemble the first comprehensive long-run dataset of official international lending, covering 230,000 loans, grants and guarantees extended by governments, central banks, and multilateral institutions in the period 1790-2015. Historically, wars have been the main catalyst of government-to-government transfers. The scale of official credits granted in and around WW1 and WW2 was particularly large, easily surpassing the scale of total international bailout lending after the 2008 crash. During peacetime, development finance and financial crises are the main drivers of official crossborder finance, with official flows often stepping in when private flows retrench. In line with the predictions of recent theoretical contributions, we find that official lending increases with the degree of economic integration. In crises and disasters, governments help those countries to which they have greater trade and banking exposure, hoping to reduce the collateral damage to their own economies. Since the 2000s, official finance has made a sharp comeback, largely due to the rise of China as an international creditor and the return of central bank cross-border lending in times of stress, this time in the form of swap lines.

Chiral Huygens metasurfaces for nonlinear structuring of linearly polarized light

description: We report on a chiral nanostructure, which we term a "butterfly nanoantenna," that, when used in a metasurface, allows the direct conversion of a linearly polarized beam into a nonlinear optical far-field of arbitrary complexity. The butterfly nanoantenna exhibits field enhancement in its gap for every incident linear polarization, which can be exploited to drive nonlinear optical emitters within the gap, for the structuring of light within a frequency range not accessible by linear plasmonics. As the polarization, phase and amplitude of the field in the gap are highly controlled, nonlinear emitters within the gap behave as an idealized Huygens source. A general framework is thereby proposed wherein the butterfly nanoantennas can be arranged on a surface to produce a highly structured far-field nonlinear optical beam with high purity. A third harmonic Laguerre-Gauss beam carrying an optical orbital angular momentum of 41 is demonstrated as an example, through large-scale simulations on a high-performance computing platform of the full plasmonic metasurface with an area large enough to contain up to 3600 nanoantennas.

description: During the past two decades, chiral effective field theory has become a popular tool to derive nuclear forces from first principles. Two-nucleon interactions have been worked out up to sixth order of chiral perturbation theory and three-nucleon forces up to fifth order. Applications of some of these forces have been conducted in nuclear few- and many-body systems---with a certain degree of success. But in spite of these achievements, we are still faced with great challenges. Among them is the issue of a proper uncertainty quantification of predictions obtained when applying these forces in {\it ab initio} calculations of nuclear structure and reactions. A related problem is the order by order convergence of the chiral expansion. We start this review with a pedagogical introduction and then present the current status of the field of chiral nuclear forces. This is followed by a discussion of representative examples for the application of chiral two- and three-body forces in the nuclear many-body system including convergence issues.

description: In 2021, the Digital Library Services (DLS) department at University of Cape Town Libraries launched a university-wide showcasing platform for the university's digital collections, here: https://ibali.uct.ac.za. The site is called Ibali (isiXhosa for 'story') and it runs on a set of semantic web technologies called Omeka S and IIIF. Ibali is part of the Libraries' drive to nurture an Open Access space where digital collections can be created, curated, published and showcased. It is a highly collaborative and flexible, future-thinking online repository space. Since its launch a number of diverse collections have already been showcased on Ibali - including a library of open access resources focusing on climate change, transcriptions of the early South African Black Press, and an archive on an active theatrical research project. This presentation offers a walkthrough of some of the metadata infrastructure that we have set up to ensure discoverability and interoperability, especially with regards to showcasing collections from the Global South. The use and institutional implementation of several add-on modules will be showcased to highlight how schemas and ontologies are used to provide integration between indigenous data and the semantic web.

Linked data

description: OCLC FAST is a widely-used subject heading schema/authority that is interoperable with Samvera software applications such as Hyrax. However, FAST is also a moving target: OCLC frequently adds new headings, deprecates obsolete ones, modifies other headings, and splits one subject heading into multiple headings. This creates a maintenance/labour problem for Hyrax-based repositories, for which FAST changes must be manually tracked and reconciled with existing metadata. This presentation describes some software, called FASTupdater, and a workflow for automatically parsing and applying changes to such repositories. Put simply, FASTupdater downloads and parses Excel spreadsheet files from the FAST Changes page (http://fast.oclc.org/fastChanges/), and then searches the repository for URIs or human-readable labels that require updates. Where possible, FASTupdater changes records automatically. Changes that cannot be completely automated, such as split or obsolete headings, are aggregated and forwarded to staff who can take the appropriate action.

description: DSpace 7 runs on a fully-featured RESTful API. Development of client libraries in popular programming languages and frameworks is essential to integrate DSpace with other systems and offer flexible solutions to developers and administrators. The Library Code, with support from Universität Hohenheim, has begun work on such a client library for Python 3. This work is fully open source, published under the BSD 3-Clause License. An initial use case for this client library is to support Python scripts that can import migrate content to DSpace 7 repositories. This kind of programmatic approach allows a level of customisation (e.g. mapping, handling specific cases and objects, error handling and reporting) that other import methods do not offer. The latest release implements CRUD operations for core DSpace objects such as communities, collections, items, bundles, bitstreams, eperson users and groups. Work is planned to support search, resource policies (accession permissions), processes, and workflow management. Our goal is to fully implement the DSpace REST operations, and we look forward to sharing this work and welcoming collaboration from the wider DSpace development community.

description: Life on Earth relies on chiral molecules, that is, species not superimposable on their mirror images. This manifests itself in the selection of a single molecular handedness, or homochirality, across the biosphere. We present the astronomical detection of a chiral molecule, propylene oxide (CH$_3$CHCH$_2$O), in absorption toward the Galactic Center. Propylene oxide is detected in the gas phase in a cold, extended molecular shell around the embedded, massive protostellar clusters in the Sagittarius B2 star-forming region. This material is representative of the earliest stage of solar system evolution in which a chiral molecule has been found.

description: We demonstrate, through 3-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations, that the com- plex dynamical response of nano and micro crystals to external constraints can be tuned. Under load rate control, strain bursts are shown to exhibit scale-free avalanche statistics, similar to critical phenomena in many physical systems. For the other extreme of displacement rate control, strain burst response transitions to quasi-periodic oscillations, similar to stick-slip earthquakes. External load mode control is shown to enable a qualitative transition in the complex collective dynamics of dislocations from self-organized criticality to quasi-periodic oscillations.

description: We investigate misaligned accretion discs formed after tidal disruption events that occur when a star encounters a supermassive black hole. We employ the linear theory of warped accretion discs to find the shape of a disc for which the stream arising from the disrupted star provides a source of angular momentum that is misaligned with that of the black hole. For quasi-steady configurations we find that when the warp diffusion or propagation time is large compared to the local mass accretion time and/or the natural disc alignment radius is small, misalignment is favoured. These results have been verified using SPH simulations. We also simulated 1D model discs including gas and radiation pressure. As accretion rates initially exceed the Eddington limit the disc is initially advection dominated. Assuming the $α$ model for the disc, where it can be thermally unstable it subsequently undergoes cyclic transitions between high and low states. During these transitions the aspect ratio varies from $\sim 1$ to $\sim 10^{-3}$ which is reflected in changes in the degree of disc misalignment at the stream impact location. For maximal black hole rotation and sufficiently large values of viscosity parameter $α> \sim 0.01-0.1$ the ratio of the disc inclination to that of the initial stellar orbit is estimated to be $0.1-0.2$ in the advection dominated state, while reaching of order unity in the low state. Misalignment descreases with decrease of $α$, but increases as the black hole rotation parameter decreases. Thus, it is always significant when the latter is small.

description: Postmodern American drama of the 1980s and 1990s is commonly defined by its abundant distrust in authenticity and the ‘real.’ Since around 2000, the emergence of a new type of documentary drama, in turn, has begun to recall and renegotiate postmodernism’s scepticism of the ‘real’ and the theatrical conventions that resulted from it. As theatre scholar Carol Martin notes, contemporary theatre addresses the “larger cultural obsession with capturing the ‘real’” in an age of mediatization as it poses questions about the iconography of the visual, the body, and dramatic and performative epistemes of representation (Martin, “Introduction” 1). This article examines the role of the ‘real’ in two examples of recent American documentary theatre, Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theater Project’s The Laramie Project (2001) and Lynn Nottage’s Ruined (2008). Both plays are characterised by their use of verbatim and documentary techniques alongside a heightened emphasis on modes of narrativity. Drawing on Carol Martin’s conception of the “theatre of the real” (2010; 2013) as a new type of American documentary theatre in American visual and literary culture in the twenty-first century, I argue that these two documentary plays aim to establish a poetics of ‘the real’ as an elemental ethical and theatrical category in their representations of war, citizenship, and cultural ideologies. I argue that both plays turn towards the ethical rather than – as postmodern theatre did – the epistemological repercussion of their stagings of the ‘real.’ These examples of recent American documentary theatre respond to, renegotiate, and challenge postmodernism’s aversion to authenticity and complicate the idea that “truth is contextual, multiple, and subject to manipulation” (Martin, “Introduction” 3) as they investigate different scenarios and epistemes of truth through novel poetic techniques (embodiment, amateurism, the public sphere). Both plays elucidate how American documentary theatre in the twenty-first century negotiates the category of the ‘real’ at the nexus of spectatorship dramatic mode, and the ethics of performance.

description: Traditionell wird angenommen, Eigenschaften müssten bestimmte Träger besitzen. Wenn es um Handlungen geht, müsste entsprechend ein Agent existieren, der diese Handlungen ausführt. Wendet man dieses naheliegende Bild ins Theologische, gerät man jedoch in all jene Probleme, die wir vom Theismus geerbt haben. Ein revisionärer Atheismus möchte hingegen das ursprüngliche Anliegen, das hinter jenem Bild steckt, bewahren, während das Verhältnis zwischen Gott und seinen Prädikaten und Eigenschaften neu bedacht wird. Dazu ist an Feuerbachs Identifizierung von ‚Gott‘ und ‚Liebe‘ zu erinnern, die im Gespräch mit einigen Wittgensteinschen Stimmen präzisiert wird, um schließlich nach Gottes Wirklichkeit als Wirken an uns zu fragen. Einer Antwort nähern wir uns, indem Gottes Realität für uns mit der eines von uns zu rezipierenden Kunstwerkes analogisiert wird. Gegen die damit gewonnene differenzierte Gleichsetzung von Gott und seinen Eigenschaften stellen sich gewichtige Einwände; diese kommen gegen Ende zu Wort.
description: Traditionally, it is assumed that properties imply a bearer having them. When dealing with actions, it is argued, there has to be an agent performing them. As soon as one turns this popular picture theological, one encounters all those problems inherited from theism. A revisionary atheism, however, aims at conserving the initial ambitions behind that old picture, while contemplating anew the relation between God and his predicates and properties. For this, the paper starts by recalling Feuerbach’s identification of ‘God’ and ‘love’; this relation has to be clarified in referring to important voices in the wake of Wittgenstein, to eventually elaborate on God’s reality as a real effect on us. What this might mean is approached by drawing an analogy between God’s effective reality and the reception of an artwork. This refined identification of God and his properties as well as ‘God’ and his predicates amounts to several objections to be discussed towards the end of this paper.

description: We present comprehensive numerical studies of the motion of a buoyant or a nearly neutrally buoyant nano-sized ellipsoidal particle in a fluid filled cylindrical tube without or with the presence of imposed pressure gradient (weak Poiseuille flow). The Fluctuating hydrodynamics approach and the Deterministic method are both employed. We ensure that the fluctuation-dissipation relation and the principle of thermal equipartition of energy are both satisfied. The major focus is on the effect of the confining boundary. Results for the velocity and angular velocity autocorrelations (VACF and AVACF), diffusivities, and drag and lift forces as functions of shape, aspect ratio, inclination angle, and proximity to the wall are presented. For the parameters considered, the boundary modifies the VACF and AVACF such that three distinct regimes are discernible --- an initial exponential decay, followed by an algebraic decay culminating in a second exponential decay. The first is due to thermal noise, the algebraic regime is due to both thermal noise and hydrodynamic correlations, while the second exponential decay shows the effect of momentum reflection from the confining wall. Our predictions display excellent comparison with published results for the algebraic regime (the only regime for which earlier results exist). We also discuss the role of off-diagonal elements of the mobility and diffusivity tensor that enables the quantification of the degree of lift and margination of the NC in the vessel. Our study covers a range of parameters that are of wide applicability in nanotechnology and in targeted drug delivery related to the health sciences.

description: Political bias can manifest in nearly every area of the academic and scientific enterprise, and thereby undermine the mission of the academy and the uncovering of scientific truths. Across three studies, the present work investigated manifestations of political bias. Using large, geographically diverse samples, new data have been generated on the operating climate for graduate students (Study 1) and tenure-track faculty (Study 2), and on how faculty evaluate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statements for faculty hiring (Study 3). These studies provide novel insight on the experiences of academics, and on how DEI statements are perceived and evaluated.

Alle drei Thesen sind nicht voneinander getrennt, sondern artikulieren gemeinsam, dass Dankbarkeit eine bestimmte Weise unseres In-der-Welt-Seins darstellt – ohne Gott oder coram Deo.
description: This paper elaborates on three interconnected claims: 1) We are dealing with two concepts of gratitude, a difference tentatively captured by the doubling between thanking that x (material) and being thankful or living in gratitude (modal); 2) the first concept, thanking that x or for x, can be characterized as a particular speech-act, whereas the second concept, being thankful, is a virtuous attitude; 3) comparing secular and religious frameworks in the relevant regard brings important grammatical differences within both concepts to the fore. All three claims are by no means isolated from each other but might jointly articulate gratitude as a particular mode of ‘being-in-the-world’ – without God or before Him.

Called to Account, Verbatim Theater and the Opposition to the Politics of Imperialist Visuality and Sensationalism

Subjects: verbatim theater; justice; mass media; Iraq War; visuality

description: The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States and the United Kingdom was a milestone of disregard for international law and the powers of parliaments in authorizing military action. While the war was faced with widespread condemnation, the oversaturation of public opinion with mass media accounts and visual reminders of Islamic terror targeting the West secured legitimacy for military action. The US and UK’s unilateral actions established a domestic and international state of exception, which Giorgio Agamben regards as capable of undermining and obfuscating the regular function of democratic institutions. Since the 1990s, British journalist/playwright Richard Norton-Taylor and theatrical director Nicolas Kent had been staging a series of “tribunal plays,” a variant of verbatim theater, in which they edited and presented real trials concerning governmental and institutional misconduct. With their 2007 play Called to Account they provocatively staged their own inquiry on whether Tony Blair was guilty of misleading the UK parliament into approving of their country’s participation in the war. In this imaginary inquiry, a number of diplomats, Labour politicians, and journalists were invited to testify about the events leading up to the invasion. By deploying a non-dramatized – thus non-sensational – performative aesthetics, not only did Norton-Taylor and Kent highlight the extent of political control over the judicial system and media, but also sought to engage politically disaffected audiences in public debates on the exercise of political power and obstruction of justice. Tribunal verbatim theater lacks in dramatic action in its attempt to stage trials, in opposition to common practices of legal reporting or courtroom drama, which resort to sensationalism and visualizations of courtrooms that manipulate public opinion. At the same time, it encourages the expression of sentiments and opinions of spectators, and it functions as a space for catharsis in an age when the culture of excessive visuality offers little space for political participation.

GHANAIAN PENTECOSTALS IN LONDON, REVERSE MISSION, AND THE SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION
Creators: name: Atwam, Anthony
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Since the 1960s, media houses, scholars, and religious people have increasingly drawn attention to the changing dynamics of religion and spirituality in Britain, which some scholars call spiritual revolution. This thesis examines the perception of this spiritual revolution among London Ghanaian Pentecostals (LGP) in a reverse mission context and what the church can possibly do. Due to the impact of the spiritual revolution, an action research methodology was adopted. Data collection methods were congregational surveys, interviews, and analysis of church documents. Summaries of the thesis’ main findings and arguments are as follows: The study establishes the inadequacy of the spiritual revolution as a concept to capture religious and spiritual changes among LGP. In our postcolonial context, this study argues in favour of using the term blessed reflex instead of reverse mission to describe non-Westerners’ missionary activities in Western lands. In line with action research methodology, this study offers unique empirical insights that contribute to our understanding of religious groups’ responses to the spiritual needs of people. Furthermore, the study proposes a new and unique missiology that focuses on meeting spiritual needs effectively and sensitively, a contribution to the theology and practice of Christian missions. The study also found that LGP are able to provide for their members’ spiritual needs but not for people outside their community. Therefore, following the successful example of African Pentecostalism, the study argues that LGP can be more successful in their mission endeavours if they identify a problem in British society and use the theology of the Holy Spirit to help. And whereas African Pentecostalism has deliverance theology, more research is needed in this area among Western scholars. In light of this, the study also discusses the downside of contemporary spirituality. In summary, this thesis contributes to the role of religion in contemporary Britain.
Regulation of TRPM7 by CNNM2 and interacting partners
Creators: name: Tetteh, Sandra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: TRPM7 is an ion channel permeable to a wide array of divalent cations, including Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Zn²⁺. Research has revealed that TRPM7 is a key mediator of many pathological conditions, from ischemic brain injury in stroke to cardiac fibrosis. How TRPM7 is regulated in vivo under physiological or pathological conditions is poorly understood. Recently, members of the CNNM family of proteins were shown to interact with and regulate TRPM7’s channel activity. Furthermore, PTP4A proteins, which were previously shown to bind and regulate CNNM proteins, appear to stimulate TRPM7 in a CNNM-dependent manner. In contrast, another CNNM binding protein, ARL15, was shown to suppress TRPM7 channel activity when co-expressed with the channel. Our studies demonstrate the expression of CNNM2, PTP4A1, PTP4A2, and PTP4A3 in quiescent cardiac fibroblasts. When the cells were stimulated with TGF-β1, however, we observed that CNNM4 and PTP4A3 were upregulated in fibroblasts, suggesting that CNNMs and PTP4As may be involved in TRPM7 channel regulation under certain conditions. To gain a deeper understanding of how CNNMs regulate the channel, we sought to determine the regions where the two proteins interact. Our research revealed that the main interaction between CNNM2 and TRPM7 occurs between the transmembrane domains of the two proteins, with weaker interactions occurring between their cytosolic domains. The cytosolic region of CNNMs contains a CBS domain, which binds Mg-ATP, and a CNBH domain important for protein dimerization. Experiments using GST-pulldown purification assays demonstrated that the CBS domain can bind to both the NH2- and COOH-terminal regions of TRPM7, whereas the CNBH domain only binds to TRPM7's COOH-terminal region. The CNNM2 CBS domain appears to interact solely with TRPM7's ST-region, which has been shown to undergo extensive autophosphorylation by TRPM7’s catalytic kinase domain. In contrast, the CNNM2 CNBH domain interacts with both the ST-region of TRPM7 and the catalytic kinase domain. Using a fluorescent Zn²⁺-influx assay to assess TRPM7 channel function, we observed that full-length CNNM2 strongly stimulated the channel, whereas co-expression of CNNM2 lacking any of the cytosolic domains did not affect channel activity. We also began to investigate how CNNM2 interacts with its other binding proteins, including ARL15. In conclusion, our research uncovered interaction sites between TRPM7 and CNNMs that are critically important for the regulation of channel function. Our findings could lead to the development of new pharmacological drugs that inhibit TRPM7's harmful activities in diseases.
Monitoring Nonadiabatic Electron-Nuclear Dynamics in Molecules by Attosecond Streaking of Photoelectrons

description: Streaking of photoelectrons has long been used for the temporal characterization of attosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses. When the time-resolved photoelectrons originate from a coherent superposition of electronic states, they carry an additional phase information, which can be retrieved by the streaking technique. In this contribution we extend the streaking formalism to include coupled electron and nuclear dynamics in molecules as well as initial coherences and demonstrate how it offers a novel tool to monitor non-adiabatic dynamics as it occurs in the vicinity of conical intersections and avoided crossings. Streaking can enhance the time resolution and provide direct signatures of electronic coherences, which affect many primary photochemical and biological events.

description: The technical foundation of the COAR Notify initiative is the sending, receiving, and processing of Linked Data Notifications (LDNs) by repositories, value-added services such as peer review services, aggregators, and other parties of the web-based scholarly communication landscape. The COAR Notify project outlines a number of use cases, for example, an author requesting peer review for their preprint and details corresponding patterns, which specify the LDN payload. In order to support implementation partners, we were motivated to design and develop an online validation service for LDNs that provides feedback on the notifications' compliance with Notify patterns. In this developer track presentation, we will introduce the COAR Notify Validator, highlight its technical components, demonstrate its functionality, and discuss further features we plan to implement.

“Life escapes from us like blood out of a wound”: Painterly Bodies in Maria Irene Fornes’s The Danube
Creators: name: Havran, Katarína
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2021
Subjects: The Danube; painterly aesthetics; visuality; corporeality; phenomenology

description: Criticism often refers to the playwright and director, María Irene Fornés’s plays as displaying a visual artist’s sensitivity. It is easy to see the origins of this argument in Fornés’s early career in painting and in her own affirmative that her painterly experience had significant impact on her theater. I would like to further pinpoint two formative sources that are necessary to take into account in order to understand the painterly structures of Fornés’s plays: first, the experimental performance style at the Judson Poets’ Theater, which intended to heighten the audience’s phenomenological awareness of the moment; and second, the preoccupation with the body and sensuousness, which dominated the experimental art scene in the 60s, and which was epitomized in Susan Sontag’s imperative for “an erotics of art” (Against Interpretation 14). Recent studies on Sontag and the posthumous publication of her diaries provide evidence of the brief but intense creative collaboration between Fornés and Sontag in the early ’60s, and the mutual influence it exerted on their work. However, as opposed to Sontag’s well-known ideological shift from the celebration of sensuousness to a self-proclaimed moralism, which characterizes her later thought, Fornés retains a notion of body that is not inherently carrying political meaning, and even decades later she displays firm commitment to the aesthetic principles of the early ’60s. What unites her plays since the ’80s is not so much a thematic concern than a practical approach to art that assumes stylistic, predominantly visual, concerns to be the organizing force of theater. In typically brief scenes, Fornés renders performers’ bodies in stylized compositions on the stage. These tableaux-like compositions share structures with certain Old Masters’ paintings that explore subversive corporeality. With its main focus on the 1984 The Danube, this paper argues that it is through the sensuous aspects of the body that Fornés touches upon the psyche of her characters and thus invites broader social and political considerations about her theater.

Infrastructures of the human: diamond mining and racial technologies of extraction in South Africa
Creators: name: Sherman, Zandi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation considers the co- constitutive relationship between race and material infrastructures in South Africa. Taking the diamond industry as its primary object of observation, the dissertation traces how the dual project of profitably managing mobile laboring bodies and inert matter both depends on and produces race. Starting in the 19th-century and spanning 150 years, “Infrastructures of the Human” examines a series of extractive and security infrastructures to demonstrate not only how the functioning of those networks depended on differentiated populations, but also how the circulations and relationships between bodies and environment that they enabled, produced and reproduced an aspirational and oppositional notion of Humanity. The project uses interdisciplinary methods, including archival research and discourse analysis, to produce an ethnography of four specific infrastructural networks. In taking these infrastructures as ethnographic objects, the project considers not only their technical but political functions and how they both reflect and produce racialized circulations of power and matter. Each of the dissertation’s chapters examine a specific infrastructure used to securely and profitably extract and circulate the diamond. The first chapter looks at the closed compounds, a late 19th-century infrastructure built to house Kimberley’s black labor force for the entirety of their contracts. It traces how engineers came to function as both technical and racial experts in the development of the compounds and argues that these structures, which were designed alongside various other extractive technologies, figured the Native body as an object to be managed in much the same way as the rock being mined. The second and third chapters look at more contemporary and less overtly violent infrastructures, encouraging us to think about not only the temporal endurance of racial infrastructures, but also the gradual obfuscation that an imbrication of the technical and political enables. Both chapters two and three consider two forms of X-Ray technology; one designed to scan human bodies for swallowed diamonds and the other to differentiate diamond from debris. Each looks at how the difference making capacities of X-Ray technologies restructure the process of diamond extraction and the meaning of the human body. The dissertation’s final chapter turns from the site of production and looks instead at how the diamond industry used images and stories of risk to maintain the diamond’s cultural value. In looking at the dynamics of consumption rather than extraction, chapter four argues that racialized ideas of risk and security become essential elements in the desire for diamonds among the middle classes of Europe and America.
Intellectual capital and resilience: evidence from two cases of SMEs

description: Disruptive changes, such as the ones caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, oblige firms to develop the ability to be resilient in this unstable environment if they want to stay competitive. In this context, the aim of this article is to unveil how intellectual capital (IC) may foster resilience in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To serve this purpose, this article presents the results of a qualitative analysis of two SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most significant evidence is that a combination of the components of IC, namely human capital, organisational capital, and relational capital, is useful for SMEs to respond to changing conditions and take advantage of emergent opportunities, which means going through the prepare-respond-transform resilience process. This article is among the first attempting to elucidate the relationship between IC and SME resilience. It reveals a tight connection between these two concepts, which still deserves further investigation.

FAIR Principles

Agricultural Science

description: Communicating the meaning and value of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles and suitable implementation strategies to research communities and their broader ecosystem is a crucial challenge. Automated FAIR scoring algorithms are being developed to provide immediate machine-driven insight into (meta)data compliance. They are also expected to return instructions to improve FAIR compliance where applicable. However, we still lack a systematic understanding of how automated FAIR scoring impacts adoption in repositories that implement them. Accordingly, we are excited to share findings from the first large-scale machine-driven FAIR scoring of global agricultural research at One CGIAR, a global partnership of international organizations dedicated to sustainable food production. Characteristics that make this analysis particularly interesting include the organization-wide visibility of the FAIR scoring and the mandatory reporting of all scientific resources in the preceding calendar year. We find that 39% of the 418 records received updates. Out of those, 7.3% resulted in improved FAIR scores. Those improved records outperformed the mean FAIR scores of the complete 2022 reporting data, while falling behind them before the update. We further show differences according to the knowledge product type and outline how we gather additional data on users' perceptions for the OR2023 presentation.

description: The discrete sum of geometric Brownian motions plays an important role in modeling stochastic annuities in insurance. It also plays a pivotal role in the pricing of Asian options in mathematical finance. In this paper, we study the probability distributions of the infinite sum of geometric Brownian motions, the sum of geometric Brownian motions with geometric stopping time, and the finite sum of the geometric Brownian motions. These results are extended to the discrete sum of the exponential Lévy process. We derive tail asymptotics and compute numerically the asymptotic distribution function. We compare the results against the known results for the continuous time integral of the geometric Brownian motion up to an exponentially distributed time. The results are illustrated with numerical examples for life annuities with discrete payments, and Asian options.
