Creators: name: Mameli, Simona
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2018
Subjects: 320 Political science

description: The dissertation of Simona Mameli explores the potential for deliberation in deeply divided societies by applying the innovative concept of Deliberative Transformative Moments (DTM) to discussions between conflicting groups - Serbs and Bosnjaks - in the war-torn town of Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The concept of DTM is used to analyze and measure the ups and downs in the level of deliberation of citizens’ discussion about political issues, getting at the internal deliberative dynamics of group discussions and shedding new light on deliberative potential of citizens of deeply divided societies.

description: This article introduces a new Stata command, labcenswdi, to automatically manage databases that provide variable descriptions on the second row in a dataset. While renaming all variables and converting them from string to numeric, labcenswdi automatically manages the variable descriptions including removing them from the second row to place them into Stata variable labels and saving them to a text file. The process yields a dataset ready for statistical analysis. I illustrate how this command can be used to efficiently manage datasets obtained from the U.S. Census 2000 and the World Development Indicators databases.
Developing Ecosystem-aware Tools

description: Tool developers frequently leverage data from software ecosystems to improve their tools. Unfortunately, every developer has to build his own infrastructure to analyse the software ecosystem. This means identifying the scope of the ecosystem, obtaining the source code, extracting, storing and updating the data and so on. We argue that many of these tasks can be automated, freeing the developer to focus only on how to extract the needed ecosystem data and how to present it to the developer. To support our claim, we developed a framework for developing ecosystem-aware tools, tools that leverage data from the software ecosystem. This framework automates all routine steps of the process and leaves the developer to specify what data to extract from the ecosystem, and how to use it. To illustrate how this framework can be used for development of real-world ecosystem-aware tools we created four such tools using this framework. These tools are implementations of innovative approaches that improve the developer experience and were chosen to be diverse so as to illustrate the flexibility and features of the framework which is meant to support the needs of a broad range ecosystem-aware tools. The tools are individually evaluated and shown to be an improvement on the standard techniques, further supporting the notion that incorporating ecosystem data into the development process can be beneficial.

description: RR fields in string backgrounds including orientifold planes and branes on top of them are classified by K-theory. Following the idea introduced in hep-th/0103183, we also classify such fluxes by cohomology. Both of them are compared through the Atiyah-Hirzebruch Spectral Sequence. Some new correlations between branes on orientifold planes $Op^\pm$ and obstructions to the existence of some branes are found. Finally, we find a topological condition that avoid the presence of global gauge anomalies in lower dimensional systems.

Non-steady heating of cool cores of galaxy clusters by ubiquitous turbulence and AGN

description: Recent cosmological simulations have shown that turbulence should be generally prevailing in clusters because clusters are continuously growing through matter accretion. Using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we study the heating of cool-core clusters by the ubiquitous turbulence as well as feedback from the central active galactic nuclei (AGNs) for a wide range of cluster and turbulence parameters, focusing on the global stability of the core. We find that the AGN shows intermittent activities in the presence of moderate turbulence similar to the one observed with Hitomi. The cluster core maintains a quasi-equilibrium state for most of the time because the heating through turbulent diffusion is nearly balanced with radiative cooling. The balance is gradually lost because of slight dominance of the radiative cooling, and the AGN is ignited by increased gas inflow. Finally, when the AGN bursts, the core is heated almost instantaneously. Thanks to the pre-existing turbulence, the heated gas is distributed throughout the core without becoming globally unstable and causing catastrophic cooling, and the core recovers the quasi-equilibrium state. The AGN bursts can be stronger in lower-mass clusters. Predictions of our model can be easily checked with future X-ray missions like XRISM and Athena.

description: Estimating the mechanisms that connect explanatory variables with the explained variable, also known as “mediation analysis,” is central to a variety of social-science fields, especially psychology, and increasingly to fields like epidemiology. Recent work on the statistical methodology behind mediation analysis points to limitations in earlier methods. We implement in Stata computational approaches based on recent developments in the statistical methodology of mediation analysis. In particular, we provide functions for the correct calculation of causal mediation effects using several different types of parametric models, as well as the calculation of sensitivity analyses for violations to the key identifying assumption required for interpreting mediation results causally.

description: We present optical turbulence profiles obtained with a Generalized SCIDAR (G-SCIDAR) and a Low Layer SCIDAR (LOLAS) at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional in San Pedro Mártir (OAN-SPM), Baja California, Mexico, during three observing campaigns in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The G-SCIDAR delivers profiles with moderate altitude-resolution (a few hundred meters) along the entire turbulent section of the atmosphere, while the LOLAS gives high altitude-resolution (on the order of tens of meters) but only within the first few hundred meters. Simultaneous measurements were obtained on 2014 and allowed us to characterize in detail the combined effect of the local orography and wind direction on the turbulence distribution close to the ground. At the beginning of several nights, the LOLAS profiles show that turbulence peaks between 25 and 50 m above the ground, not at ground level as was expected. The G-SCIDAR profiles exhibit a peak within the first kilometer. In 55% and 36% of the nights stable layers are detected between 10 and 15 km and at 3 km, respectively. This distribution is consistent with the results obtained with a G-SCIDAR in 1997 and 2000 observing campaigns. Statistics computed with the 7891 profiles that have been measured at the OAN-SPM with a G-SCIDAR in 1997, 2000, 2014 and 2015 campaigns are presented. The seeing values calculated with each of those profiles have a median of 0.79, first and third quartiles of 0.51 and 1.08 arcsec, which are in close agreement with other long term seeing monitoring performed at the OAN-SPM.
Parsing for agile modeling

description: Agile modeling refers to a set of methods that allow for a quick initial development of an importer and its further refinement. These requirements are not met simultaneously by the current parsing technology. Problems with parsing became a bottleneck in our research of agile modeling. In this thesis we introduce a novel approach to specify and build parsers. Our approach allows for expressive, tolerant and composable parsers without sacrificing performance. The approach is based on a context-sensitive extension of parsing expression grammars that allows a grammar engineer to specify complex language restrictions. To insure high parsing performance we automatically analyze a grammar definition and choose different parsing strategies for different parts of the grammar. We show that context-sensitive parsing expression grammars allow for highly composable, tolerant and variable-grained parsers that can be easily refined. Different parsing strategies significantly insure high-performance of parsers without sacrificing expressiveness of the underlying grammars.

description: The emergence of unconventional superconductivity is generally considered to be related to spin fluctuations. Unveiling the intriguing behaviors of spin fluctuations in parent compounds with layered transition-metal ions may shed light on the search for exotic unconventional superconductors. Here, based on the framework of the first-principles calculations, we theoretically propose that LaCoSb$_2$ is a weak antiferromagnetic layered metal with an in-plane ferromagnetic moment of 0.88 $μ_B$ at the Co sites, as a candidate parent compound of the cobalt-based superconductors. Importantly, this theoretical finding is experimentally supported by our magnetization measurements on polycrystalline samples of LaCo$_{0.78}$Sb$_2$. Following the symmetry analysis, we suggest a possible $p$-wave superconductivity hosted in doped LaCoSb$_2$ emerging at the verge of ferromagnetic spin fluctuations, which implies potential applications in topological quantum computing in future.

description: A 1981 study in the Dominican Republic was replicated in 1987 to analyze the effect of producer preferences on farm prices for red beans and to determine if rural market conditions changed significantly between the two study periods. In contrast to the 1981 study. econometric analysis of the 1987 situation revealed that when adjustments are made for quality. consumer preferences. and transport costs, not even the earlier revealed impact of quantity marketed, habitual sales to the same buyer, or local political power of the farm family significantly affected the farm-wholesale price margin. Again, the lack of any perceptible influence based on the provision of groceries, family relationships, wealth, tied purchase or weight manipulation was substantiated. The analysis once again corroborated that, although fanners may express a sense of obligation to middlemen who are related or who sell them groceries, and where a reservation price Inay be elicited with respect to sale of their crop to an alternative buyer, fanner actions revealed such expressions to be meaningless. The unabated tendency of producers verbally to exaggerate their social obligations will continue to represent a methodological dilemma for social scientists unwilling or unable to delve quantitatively below such manifestations in order to distinguish between intent and action.

description: Recent studies have examined the relationships between agricultural innovations and rural poverty in LDCs, concentrating on either exchange or nonexchange inoome. However, neither approach is adequate if employed independently. Growing concen~ration of control of land and the effects. of components of new agricultural technology on ancillary resources are docwnented for Bangladesh. Access to land and other natural resources by the rural poor is gradually diminishing. Increasing landlessness and near landlessness have resulted in greater dependence on wage employment for subsistence. However, agricultural wages, being close to the subsistence level, provide little scope for carry-over into periods of slack agrirultural activity. Even though real wages may be trending upwards slightly. much of their effect on rural poverty is neutralized because of seasonality in employment and real wages. The nonexchange component of income is important in slack periods and may become critical in abnormal years when both real wages and employment fall sharply. With rapid population growth and resource depletion and greater penerration of technological and market forces, access to natural resources with a cushioning effect on the rural poor in adverse circumstances has become more limited and income security has been undennlned.

description: Turbulence simulations play a key role in advancing the general understanding of the physical properties turbulence and in interpreting astrophysical observations of turbulent plasmas. For the sake of simplicity, however, turbulence simulations are often conducted in the isothermal limit. Given that the majority of astrophysical systems are not governed by isothermal dynamics, we aim to quantify the impact of thermodynamics on the physics of turbulence, through varying adiabatic index, $γ$, combined with a range of optically thin cooling functions. In this paper, we present a suite of ideal magnetohydrodynamics simulations of thermally balanced stationary turbulence in the subsonic, super-Alfvénic, high beta (ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure) regime, where turbulent dissipation is balanced by two idealized cooling functions (approximating linear cooling and free-free emission) and examine the impact of the equation of state by considering cases that correspond to isothermal, monatomic and diatomic gases. We find a strong anticorrelation between thermal and magnetic pressure independent of thermodynamics, whereas the strong anticorrelation between density and magnetic field found in the isothermal case weakens with increasing $γ$. Similarly, with the linear relation between variations in density and thermal pressure with sonic Mach number becomes steeper with increasing $γ$. This suggests that there exists a degeneracy in these relations with respect to thermodynamics and Mach number in this regime, which is dominated by slow magnetosonic modes. These results have implications for attempts to infer (e.g.) Mach numbers from (e.g.) Faraday rotation measurements, without additional information regarding the thermodynamics of the plasma. However, our results suggest that this degeneracy can be broken by utilizing higher-order moments of observable distribution functions.

description: The objective of this paper is to examine the sources of producer income instability for marketed commodities in Kenya. Producer income instability can increase foreign exchange administrative costs, create domestic budgetary problems, lead to inefficiencies in resource use, and even to political upheavals. Using a variance decomposition methodology, demand was identified as the major contributor to export earnings instability for ooffee, hides and skins, beans and peas, and canned pineapples. Supply was the major contributor of export earnings instability for tea and pyrethrum extract. With respect to domestic producer income instability, supply was the major culprit for most commodities. Supply was the major source of instability for tea, maize. wheat, and fluid milk, while demand was the major source of instability for coffee. Producer income instability of export crops was relatively constant over the study period (1%4-83), whereas income instability of domestic crops, and, hence, the instability-minimizing share of exports, rose over the same period. Limitations of the study include the use of aggregate data, selection of methodologies that ignore structure, and using only marketed commodities for analysis.

description: The low luminosity of Uranus is a long-standing challenge in planetary science. Simple adiabatic models are inconsistent with the measured luminosity, which indicates that Uranus is non-adiabatic because it has thermal boundary layers and/or conductive regions. A gradual composition distribution acts as a thermal boundary to suppress convection and slow down the internal cooling. Here we investigate whether composition gradients in the deep interior of Uranus can explain its low luminosity, the required composition gradient, and whether it is stable for convective mixing on a timescale of some billion years. We varied the primordial composition distribution and the initial energy budget of the planet, and chose the models that fit the currently measured properties (radius, luminosity, and moment of inertia) of Uranus. We present several alternative non-adiabatic internal structures that fit the Uranus measurements. We found that convective mixing is limited to the interior of Uranus, and a composition gradient is stable and sufficient to explain its current luminosity. As a result, the interior of Uranus might still be very hot, in spite of its low luminosity. The stable composition gradient also indicates that the current internal structure of Uranus is similar to its primordial structure. Moreover, we suggest that the initial energy content of Uranus cannot be greater than 20% of its formation (accretion) energy. We also find that an interior with a mixture of ice and rock, rather than separated ice and rock shells, is consistent with measurements, suggesting that Uranus might not be "differentiated". Our models can explain the luminosity of Uranus, and they are also consistent with its metal-rich atmosphere and with the predictions for the location where its magnetic field is generated.

Characterization of choline uptake in Trypanosoma brucei and involvement of a mitochondrial carrier in resistance to choline analogs

description: Choline is an essential nutrient for eukaryotic cells, where it is used as precursor for the synthesis of choline-­containing phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC). Our experiments showed – for the first time – that Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African sleeping sickness, is able to take up choline from the culture medium to use for PC synthesis, indicating that trypanosomes express a transporter for choline at the plasma membrane. Further characterization in procyclic and bloodstream forms revealed that choline uptake is saturable and can be inhibited by HC-3, a known inhibitor of choline uptake in mammalian cells. To obtain additional insights on choline uptake and metabolism, we investigated the effects of choline-analogs that were previously shown to be toxic for T. brucei parasites in culture. Interestingly, we found that all analogs tested effectively inhibited choline uptake into both bloodstream and procyclic form parasites. Subsequently, selected compounds were used to search for possible candidate genes encoding choline transporters in T. brucei, using an RNAi library in bloodstream forms. We identified a protein belonging to the mitochondrial carrier family, previously annotated as TbMCP14, as prime candidate. Down‐regulation of TbMCP14 by RNAi prevented drug-­induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and conferred 8­‐fold resistance of T. brucei bloodstream forms to choline analogs. Conversely, over‐expression of the carrier increased parasite susceptibility more than 13-­fold. However, subsequent experiments demonstrated that TbMCP14 was not involved in metabolism of choline. Instead, growth curves in glucose‐depleted medium using RNAi or knock‐out parasites suggested that TbMCP14 is involved in metabolism of amino acids for energy production. Together, our data demonstrate that the identified member of the mitochondrial carrier family is involved in drug uptake into the mitochondrion and has a vital function in energy production in T. brucei.

description: Rural development programmes may facilitate the off-farm employment of low-income farm families and provide additional public suppon beyond traditional US farm income and price support programmes. To examine the implications of alternative rural development strategies for low-income farmers, joint off-farm labour participation models are developed for farm operators and spouses. Univariate and bivariate probit models are estimated. based on 1985 Current Population Survey farm household data. The bivariate model is applied to data on 240 farm families that qualify as low-income families. Study results indicate that age, education, number of young children, and location represent constraints to participation among differentiable segments of the low-income farm population. The implications of these results for the formulatioo of rural development programmes to aid farm families are examined.

description: Der Völkerbund hat bei seiner Gründung nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg neben seiner zentralen Aufgabe, für die Erhaltung des Weltfriedens zu sorgen, auch Aufgaben in sogenannten technischen Bereichen erhalten. Einer dieser „technischen“ Bereiche war die Überwachung der internationalen Abkommen zur Bekämpfung von Frauen- und Kinderhandel. Um dieses Aufgabe wahrzunehmen, richtete der Völkerbund 1921 eine internationale Konferenz zum Thema aus und beschloss ein Advisory Committee on the Traffic in Women and Children dazu einzusetzen. Dieses Komitee setzte sich aus staatlichen Delegierten sowie Beisitzern und Beisitzerinnen von internationalen Freiwilligenorganisationen zusammen. Es tagte ein Mal jährlich, um den aktuellen Stand der Umsetzung der internationalen Konventionen sowie die allgemeine Lage zu besprechen und dem Völkerbundsrat politische Empfehlungen abzugeben. Auf Initiative des Komitees wurde eine Vielzahl von Daten zu Frauen- und Kinderhandel und zu Themen, welche das Komitee damit in Beziehung setzte, erhoben. Im Fokus der vorliegenden Dissertation stehen drei dieser Erhebungen, sogenannte Enqueten, diejenige zu Frauen- und Kinderhandel in Asien von 1932, diejenige zum Einsatz von weiblichen Polizeibeamten von 1927 und diejenige zu den „Antécédents“, den Vorgeschichten, von Prostituierten von 1938. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, wie diese Enqueten entstanden, welche Funktion, beziehungsweise welchen diskursiven und damit auch politischen Nutzen sie hatten beziehungsweise welches diskursive und politische Potential ihnen innewohnte und welche Ordnungsvorstellungen in die Konzeption dieser Enqueten einflossen. Dabei zeigen sich beispielsweise die Schwierigkeiten einer Erhebung in einem grösstenteils kolonial strukturierten Gebiet wie Asien, oder die Prävalenz von dualistischen Geschlechtervorstellungen bei Überlegungen zu den Aufgaben weiblicher Polizeibeamter oder die neue Bedeutung psychiatrischer Herangehensweisen an soziale Probleme. Um die Folgen dieser Wissensproduktion möglichst konkret nachzuzeichnen, wurden in der vorliegenden Dissertation die Auswirkungen der Arbeit des Komitees auf die Schweiz detailliert untersucht. Dabei zeigen sich nicht nur die Charakteristika des schwachen Schweizer Bundesstaates in der Zwischenkriegszeit, sondern auch die neuen diskursiven Spielräume, die das Interesse und die Untersuchungen von internationaler Seite innenpolitisch eröffneten. Neben der Frage nach den Auswirkungen auf nationaler Ebene, untersucht die Arbeit auch das Zusammenspiel von internationalen Freiwilligenorganisationen mit internationalen und nationalen Institutionen und zeigt, welche Einflussmöglichkeiten sich diesen Organisationen und den dort engagierten Frauen und Männern in der Zwischenkriegszeit mit der Schaffung des Komitees eröffneten.

description: A lack of agricultural marketing facilities is generally seen as one of the major obstacles to agricultural development. However, subsistence producers in southern Africa are influenced by certain exogeneous factors, such as competition from commercial production, the well-developed marketing system, and off-farm employment opportunities in South Africa. This paper studies the effect of the institution of an organized marketing system in Ciskei on the level of agricultural production. This is found to have had no significant effect because the majority of the able-bodied males are working in the metropolitan areas of South Africa. This has resulted in agriculture becoming a part-time supplementary activity for women, old men, and children in the rural areas.

description: The recently discovered material Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ shows an impressive behavior of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) conductivity driven by the interplay between ferromagnetism in the $z$ direction and antiferromagnetism in the $xy$ plane. Motivated by these facts, first we build and study a spin-1/2 model to describe the magnetism of Co-atoms on the Kagome planes. Then, we include conduction electrons which are coupled to the spins-1/2 through a strong Hund's coupling. The spin-orbit coupling results in topological low-energy bands. For 2/3 on-site occupancy, we find a topological transition from a QAH ferromagnetic insulating phase with Chern number one to a quantum spin Hall (QSH) antiferromagnetic phase. The QAH phase is metallic when slightly changing the on-site occupancy. To account for temperature effects, we include fluctuations in the direction of the Hund's coupling. We show how the Hall conductivity can now smoothly evolve when spins develop a $120^o$ antiferromagnetism in the $xy$ plane and can synchronize with the ferromagnetic fraction.

description: The International GIS Day has since become a global event. Organizations around the world that use GIS, or are interested by it, participate in organizing or supporting this event. In 2005, over 700 GIS Day events took place in 74 countries around the world. The first GIS Day was held in 1999.
This meeting will focus on four main themes, grouping together a number of research topics, mainly on the contribution of GIS to supporting the various needs of human beings in their environment, particularly in the planning and management of territories and services, with a particular emphasis on the way in which geographic information systems can support good governance, moving increasingly towards e-governance, with the general aim of developing decision-support tools.
The quality and integrity of information concerning the territory are fundamental issues. City planners have to make crucial decisions, and to ensure that these decisions have a positive impact, and to minimize potential risks, particularly since we recently experienced a major earthquake and flooding in neighboring countries, while Algeria is not excluded from this type of risk, we need to be able to guarantee the integrity and accuracy of the data on which decisions are based,
Geographical data concerning the territory can be manipulated using GIS applications. It can also make a major contribution to the management of natural resources and forestry, particularly in the prevention of forest fires, which destroy hectares of our country's forests every summer. GIS applications can help to protect biodiversity and environment, and to prevent certain risks.

More on the Interaction Region of PEP-N

description: The PEP-N project consists of a small, very low-energy e- storage ring (VLER) located in one of the interaction-straight regions of PEP-II. The small ring is brought into collision with the low-energy (3.1 GeV) e+ beam (LER). The center-of-mass energies from this collision are between the Phi and J/Psi resonances. We achieve a head-on collision through the use of a central magnetic dipole field that generates a large horizontal bending field. This field is also the central field of the detector. The large energy range of the VLER, in order to maximize the center-of-mass energy range, complicates the collision point geometry. In order to maintain the beam orbits near the collision point two techniques are used. The first is to scale the central dipole field up and down with the energy of the VLER and the second is to use passive shielding to decrease the integral B.dl of the dipole field seen by the VLER. Changes in the orbit of the LER are corrected with local bending magnets. Further details of the interaction region geometry as well as design issues that include synchrotron radiation from the high-current positron beam are discussed.

Hardware-efficient quantum algorithm for the simulation of open-system dynamics and thermalisation

description: The quantum open-system simulation is an important category of quantum simulation. By simulating the thermalisation process at the zero temperature, we can solve the ground-state problem of quantum systems. To realise the open-system evolution on the quantum computer, we need to encode the environment using qubits. However, usually the environment is much larger than the system, i.e. numerous qubits are required if the environment is directly encoded. In this paper, we propose a way to simulate open-system dynamics by reproducing reservoir correlation functions using a minimised Hilbert space. In this way, we only need a small number of qubits to represent the environment. To simulate the $n$-th-order expansion of the time-convolutionless master equation by reproducing up to $n$-time correlation functions, the number of qubits representing the environment is $\sim \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor \log_2(N_ωN_β)$. Here, $N_ω$ is the number of frequencies in the discretised environment spectrum, and $N_β$ is the number of terms in the system-environment interaction. By reproducing two-time correlation functions, i.e. taking $n = 2$, we can simulate the Markovian quantum master equation. In our algorithm, the environment on the quantum computer could be even smaller than the system.

description: The grain sector plays a crucial role in China's agriculture. The government has intervened heavily in grain marketing, markets, and price formation. The objectives of market and price intervention are to secure farmer incomesa nd ensure consumer food supply at low prices. The economic reform started in 1979 has provided farmers with more freedom to take advantage of free markets, but consumers are still heavily subsidized in food consumption. Grain marketing will be further liberalized, but the government will be in dilemma, given its unwillingness to raise consumer prices of food grains in the short run.
