Subjects: International relations

description: Traditional international relations studies, while presuming nation-states as the core actor in world politics, have understood foreign policies of countries by treating the latter primarily as a unitary and cohesive unit. This was certainly the case with India, where its foreign policy, in the first few decades after independence, remained largely unchallenged by sub-national units such as states. That certainly changed in the second half of the 20th century as the emergence of coalition politics saw states having a greater say in India’s foreign policy, sometimes even leveraging the centre to adopt certain policies vis-a-vis its regional neighbours. However, studies on sub-national influence on India’s foreign policy-making have relatively under-publicized the role of the tiny northeastern state of Tripura remained relatively under-publicized. This was in spite of the fact that the state had played a defining role in influencing India’s policy towards erstwhile East Pakistan, leading to the creation of Bangladesh. And even in the present times, in the context of the government’s renewed focus on regional diplomacy, Tripura’s geographical location, cultural similarities and the growing obfuscation between internal and external security threats, Tripura stands as an important player and stakeholder in India’s foreign policy vis-à-vis Bangladesh. The article is an attempt to look into Tripura’s role and future prospects in the context of the greater engagement of states in regional diplomacy.

description: We develop a coupled wire construction of chiral spin liquids. The starting point are individual wires of electrons in the Mott regime that are subject to a Zeeman field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Suitable spin-flip couplings between the wires yield an Abelian chiral spin liquid state which supports spinon excitations above a bulk gap, and chiral edge states. The approach generalizes to non-Abelian chiral spin liquids at level k with parafermionic edge states.

description: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains uncontrolled despite the rapid rollout of safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines, underscoring the need to develop highly effective antivirals. In the setting of waning immunity from infection and vaccination, breakthrough infections are becoming increasingly common and treatment options remain limited. Additionally, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, with their potential to escape neutralization by therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, emphasizes the need to develop second-generation oral antivirals targeting highly conserved viral proteins that can be rapidly deployed to outpatients. Here, we demonstrate the in vitro antiviral activity and in vivo therapeutic efficacy of GS-621763, an orally bioavailable prodrug of GS-441524, the parent nucleoside of remdesivir, which targets the highly conserved virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. GS-621763 exhibited antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in lung cell lines and two different human primary lung cell culture systems. GS-621763 was also potently antiviral against a genetically unrelated emerging coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV). The dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile observed after oral administration of GS-621763 translated to dose-dependent antiviral activity in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Therapeutic GS-621763 administration reduced viral load and lung pathology; treatment also improved pulmonary function in COVID-19 mouse model. A direct comparison of GS-621763 with molnupiravir, an oral nucleoside analog antiviral which has recently received EUA approval, proved both drugs to be similarly efficacious in mice. These data support the exploration of GS-441524 oral prodrugs for the treatment of COVID-19.
Detection and control of Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus in aquaculture

description: Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), genus Megalocytivirus, causes disease of fish, with infection reported for more than 52 marine and freshwater species (Subramaniam et al., 2014). The objective of this thesis was to generate knowledge to inform ISKNV disease control in aquaculture. The first approach applied a broad range of diagnostic techniques to investigate an outbreak of high mortality infectious disease in farmed hybrid grouper (Epinephelus spp.) in Indonesia. An epidemiologic framework for disease investigation revealed that ISKNV was the primary aetiologic pathogen despite other potential pathogens including ectoparasites, bacteria, and viruses identified. The second study developed a hybrid capture nucleic acid enrichment technique before Illumina sequencing to generate knowledge about the diversity within the whole genome of ISKNV for 16 samples collected in Southeast Asia between 2011 to 2018. This supported differentiation of genotypes within the species ISKNV, with high genomic similarity within each genotype. Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms identified clusters that shared a common collection location. This approach may be valuable to understand local and transboundary spread of ISKNV. The third study evaluated disinfection protocols for ISKNV under high soiling conditions using Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii) as a sensitive bioassay for viral infectivity. The study demonstrated that ISKNV could remain infectious in aquaria without fish for at least 48h at 25°C. Practical efficacious disinfection procedures included heating (65°C for 20 min), chlorine (1000 ppm for 30 min), alteration of pH (3 or 11 for 30 min), Virkon™ 1%, and a quaternary ammonium compound (650 ppm for 10 min). This thesis provides valuable information for effective disease control in aquaculture and recommends priorities to further reduce the growing, global impacts of ISKNV.

description: Objective
To use the example of COVID-19 vaccine prioritization for incarcerated workers to call attention to the need to prioritize incarcerated workers’ health.

Methods
From November to December 2020, we searched publicly available information (e.g. Department Of Corrections websites and press releases) for 53 US prison systems, including all states, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Puerto Rico. Coders reviewed if states had prison labor policies, if states had COVID-19 specific prison labor policies, the location of work, industries both pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the scope of work, and hourly wage. Findings were compared to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s occupational vaccine prioritization recommendations.

Results
Every facility has incarcerated individuals working in some capacity with some resuming prison labor operations to pre-pandemic levels. All but one prison system has off-site work locations for their incarcerated population and many incarcerated workers have resumed their off-site work release assignments. Additionally, every state has incarcerated workers whose job assignments are considered frontline essential workers (e.g. firefighters). In at least five states, incarcerated workers are participating in frontline health roles that put them at higher risk of acquiring COVID-19. Yet, no state followed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended vaccination plan for its incarcerated population given their incarcerated workers’ essential worker status.

Conclusion
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that incarcerated people be prioritized for vaccination primarily due to the risk present in congregate style prison and jail facilities. Furthermore, our review found that many incarcerated people perform labor that should be considered “essential”, which provides another reason why they should have been among the first in line for COVID-19 vaccine allocation. These findings also highlight the need for incarcerated workers’ health to be prioritized beyond COVID-19.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing epidemic of mass incarceration are closely intertwined, as COVID-19 entered US prisons and jails at astounding rates. Although observers warned of the swiftness with which COVID-19 could devastate people who are held and work in prisons and jails, their warnings were not heeded quickly enough. Incarcerated populations were deprioritised, and COVID-19 infected and killed those in jails and prisons at rates that outpaced the rates among the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted what has been long-known: mass incarceration is a key component of structural racism that creates and exacerbates health inequities. It is imperative that the public health, particularly epidemiology, public policy, advocacy, and medical communities, are catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic to drastically rethink the USA's criminal legal system and the public health emergency that it has created and to push for progressive reform.

description: We introduce and study the notion of steerability for channels. This generalizes the notion of steerability of bipartite quantum states. We discuss a key conceptual difference between the case of states and the case of channels: while state steering deals with the notion of "hidden" states, steerability in the channel case is better understood in terms of coherence of channel extensions, rather than in terms of "hidden" channels. This distinction vanishes in the case of states. We further argue how the proposed notion of lack of coherence of channel extensions coincides with the notion of channel extensions realized via local operations and classical communication. We also discuss how the Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism allows the direct application of many results about states to the case of channels. We introduce measures for the steerability of channel extensions.

description: Allo scopo di valutarne la modernità, l’autore esamina il pensiero di Emilio Betti nel contesto culturale della sua epoca in tema di connessioni tra diritto sostanziale e processo civile. La prospettiva privilegiata dall’autore è data dalla costruzione argomentata dei rapporti giuridici tra obbligazioni e tutela esecutiva: il lavoro sostiene quindi la tesi tradizionale – contro le diverse costruzioni di Binder, in Germania, e di Carnelutti, in Italia – che distingue il rapporto sostanziale e il livello contenutistico dell'obbligazione dal livello di tutela processuale. Come evidenziava Emilio Betti, la componente patrimoniale dell’obbligazione (art. 1174 c.c.) è funzionale alla tutela in caso di mancata esecuzione, per cui la responsabilità – alla luce della tradizionale distinzione tra Schuld und Haftung – è un elemento intrinseco dell’obbligazione stessa. L’obbligazione non può essere limitata alla mera soggezione all’esecuzione, ma è caratterizzata in primo luogo dall’aspettativa di prestazione del creditore.

description: In Claystones, the storage concept for spent nuclear fuel mainly consisting of uranium is based among others on the isolation of the radionuclides within the effective containment zone due to the high retention capacity of the host rock. The transport properties are typically determined in laboratory experiments representing the host rock and for defined geochemical conditions. However, previous numerical studies have shown for the Swiss Opalinus Clay, that sorption of uranium and with that the migration are highly affected by variations in the composition of the porewater resulting from mineralogical heterogeneities. The hydro-geological system of the Opalinus Clay is characterized by a 210 m thick, low permeable section embedded between aquifers. The porewater components of the low permeable section show an asymmetric geochemical gradient towards the aquifers due to diffusive exchange over several million years between them. By modelling the past history of the porewater based on multi-component diffusion simulations, we quantify uranium migration for one million years considering the changing geochemical conditions as a result of the hydro-geological system. Our results show, that uranium is retained within the theoretical effective containment zone and adjacent aquifers are not reached. Consequently, a clay rock with a thickness > 100 m in a geochemical and mineralogical framework like the Opalinus Clay would be a suitable host rock for the storage of uranium from spent fuel.

description: Some variants of the MSSM feature a strip in parameter space where the lightest neutralino is identified as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), the gluino is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and is nearly degenerate with the LSP, and the relic cold dark matter density is brought into the range allowed by astrophysics and cosmology by coannihilation with the gluino NLSP. We calculate the relic density along this gluino coannihilation strip in the MSSM, including the effects of gluino-gluino bound states and initial-state Sommerfeld enhancement, and taking into account the decoupling of the gluino and LSP densities that occurs for large values of the squark mass. We find that bound-state effects can increase the maximum LSP mass for which the relic cold dark matter density lies within the range favoured by astrophysics and cosmology by as much as ~ 50% if the squark to gluino mass ratio is 1.1, and that the LSP may weigh up to ~ 8 TeV for a wide range of the squark to gluino mass ratio \lesssim 100.

description: Skyrmions recently discovered in chiral magnets are a promising candidate for magnetic storage devices because of their topological stability, small size ($\sim 3-100$nm), and ultra-low threshold current density ($\sim 10^{6}$A/m$^2$) to drive their motion. However, the time-dependent dynamics has hitherto been largely unexplored. Here we show, by combining the numerical solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and the analysis of a generalized Thiele's equation, that inertial effects are almost completely absent in skyrmion dynamics driven by a time-dependent current. In contrast, the response to time-dependent magnetic forces and thermal fluctuations depends strongly on frequency and is described by a large effective mass and a (anti-) damping depending on the acceleration of the skyrmion. Thermal diffusion is strongly suppressed by the cyclotron motion and is proportional to the Gilbert damping coefficient $α$. This indicates that the skyrmion position is stable, and its motion responds to the time-dependent current without delay or retardation even if it is fast. These findings demonstrate the advantages of skyrmions as information carriers.

Media reform and democratization in post-Mao China : a television case study
Creators: name: Huang, Yu
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 1993

description: Social reform movements in the communist state are a simultaneous, dialectical Process of the revival of socioeconomic dynamism on the one hand, and the abandonment of Party-state praxes on the other. As a result, the Party-controlled media system is bound to proceed to organic transformation. However, by using the medium of television as a key example, this thesis seeks to demonstrate that, under the conditions of Deng Xiaoping's particular and contradictory reform programme and in the context of Chinese society, Chinese mass media have created their own pattern of media transition that is unparalleled by that of other communist states, particularly those under the Gorbachev-style reform programme. The main characteristic of the Chinese case is that the growth of the industry and the reform of the media institutions have spontaneously become a twofold theme governing the whole process of post-Mao media development. Therefore, its adopted policies and strategies, institutional transactions, media performance, structural changes and the ways of delivering resources and increasing productivity, have all been conducted and constrained within that framework. The style of media transition in post-Mao China is not radically revolutionary, but evolutionary. It entails growth that incrementally redefines reality, producing its own dynamics and conflicts. The evidence of the thesis suggests that Deng Xiaoping's reform formula for the Chinese mass media --- an unintended contradiction of promoting the growth of the media industry and rationalizing its performance without allowing the parallel development of institutional democratization and fundamental changes of the power structure of Party's media --- cannot obtain its intended objective. Rather, it tends to produce a boomerang effect: although it can protract the process of media democratization, the new social forces, the changing economic relations and political culture in post-Mao China have provided the solid foundation for a further change with the overall media reform tendency continuously gaining momentum. The historical logic and irony become explicit here: Deng's reform programme, as a desperate resort to save the Party-state system and to prevent the advent of democracy, has turned out to be the midwife of far-reaching societal transformation and democratization in China. Thus, despite the sufferings and frustration of the 1989 Beijing pro-democracy movement, the present course of social reform is almost impossible to reverse.
Fish assemblages and habitat use across a shoreface sand ridge in southern New Jersey
Creators: name: Vasslides, James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: Shoreface sand ridges are prominent components of the inner-continental shelf landscape which may serve as sources for sand material for ongoing beach replenishment projects. In order to determine if these ridges provide unique habitats for fish on the inner continental shelf an analysis of two historic trawl surveys on Beach Haven Ridge (1991-1995 beam trawl and 1997-2006 otter trawl) and a 2006 otter trawl survey from two other sand ridges in the immediate vicinity was conducted to determine if species abundance, richness, and assemblages differed on and away from the ridges. The abundance and food habits of three dominant sciaenid species from Beach Haven Ridge were also examined to ascertain if feeding was influenced by habitat. Overall species abundance and richness displayed a bimodal distribution across the inlet to offshore transects, with the highest values on either side of the ridges regardless of gear type. Canonical Correspondence Analysis identified three species assemblages; inshore ([less than] 5 meters depth), near-ridge, and offshore ([greater than] 14 meters depth), with variation in the species composition between gear types. The beam trawl assemblages differed primarily in the presence or absence of species while the otter trawl assemblages were differentiated based on the relative abundance of shared species. Environmental factors that corresponded with the assemblage changes included depth, temperature, distance from the top of the ridge, and habitat complexity.The abundance of the three sciaenid species investigated was highest in the habitats in the immediate vicinity of the sand ridge, with all three species absent from samples from the top of the ridge. The mean relative stomach fullness of each species was similar in each habitat, but the diets of all three species varied among the habitats. In summary, this study documented higher fish abundances associated with sand ridges (but not on top of the ridge) and the presence of a distinct species assemblage when compared to the surrounding inner continental shelf. Furthermore, sand ridges appear to provide enhanced foraging opportunities for a variety of feeding modes. As such, sand ridges may be an important aspect of the inner continental shelf landscape and deserve special management considerations.

description: Benchmarking of evaluated nuclear data libraries was performed for $\sim 14.8$ MeV neutrons on Gallium targets. The experiments were performed at China Institute of Atomic Energy(CIAE). Solid samples of natural Gallium (3.2 cm and 6.4 cm thick) were bombarded by $\sim 14.8$ MeV neutrons and leakage neutron energy spectra were measured at 60$^{\circ}$ and 120$^{\circ}$. The measured spectra are rather well reproduced by MCNP-4C simulations with the CENDL-3.1, ENDF/B-VII and JENDL-4.0 evaluated nuclear data libraries, except for the inelastic contributions around $E_{n} = 10-13$ MeV. All three libraries significantly underestimate the inelastic contributions. The inelastic contributions are further studied, using the Talys simulation code and the experimental spectra are reproduced reasonably well in the whole energy range by the Talys calculation, including the inelastic contributions.

description: The essential distinction between the Fundamental Diagram Approach (FDA) and Kerner's Three- Phase Theory (KTPT) is the existence of a unique gap-speed (or flow-density) relationship in the former class. In order to verify this relationship, empirical data are analyzed with the following findings: (1) linear relationship between the actual space gap and speed can be identified when the speed difference between vehicles approximates zero; (2) vehicles accelerate or decelerate around the desired space gap most of the time. To explain these phenomena, we propose that, in congested traffic flow, the space gap between two vehicles will oscillate around the desired space gap in the deterministic limit. This assumption is formulated in terms of a cellular automaton. In contrast to FDA and KTPT, the new model does not have any congested steady-state solution. Simulations under periodic and open boundary conditions reproduce the empirical findings of KTPT. Calibrating and validating the model to detector data produces results that are better than that of previous studies.

description: A careful and dispassionate look at Goa’s history makes it very clear that trade has been its driver; Goa has always been outward looking. However inconsistent with our current dogma this may be. And this outward orientation was not just the effect of the colonial interlude; it was a consequence of our locational advantage. There were several factors for the advantage, and the resulting orientation : Goa is on the coast facing the African continent; it is more or less at the centre of west coast of Indian Peninsula; and it has the advantage of the Goa Gap. Goa Gap is the northernmost of the three major gaps in the Western Ghats, the other two being the Palghat and the Shencottah gaps in Kerala. [Robin et al, 2010 : Ancient Geographical Gaps …, in PLoSONE 5(10) e13321, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0013321, 2] While the hills to the north of the Goa Gap are up to 1,500 m high, and to the south up to 2,700 m high, in the gap they dip below 700 m, providing passage for streams of water, animals and humans; more importantly, at Ānmoḍ as well as at Cōrlā (Chorla) ghats the east to west descent is gradual, making it possible to avoid steep scarps and valleys. The Ānmoḍ ghat seems to have been one of the preferred passes to cross the Sahyādrī since the prehistoric times; several sites of prehistoric occupation have been found in the Dudhsāgar/Mhāday basin.

description: The Open Force Field Initiative (OpenFF) is an innovative academic/industry partnership focused on improving the accuracy of energy models for use in drug discovery and other applications, including in binding free energy calculations. OpenFF's openness plays a key role, allowing use/reuse in a wide range of applications. In this talk, I give an update on OpenFF's progress, innovative science, and near-term plans. Already, we have been able to produce a force field which appears competitive with or better than the best non-proprietary force fields, our latest (open) benchmarks show, but some of our most exciting science will only be included in the next several major releases, so I highlight these innovations as well, including Wiberg bond order-based torsion interpolation. I also highlight benchmarks in binding free energy calculations. I will also include a brief overview of how OpenFF works, including its innovative aspects such as our shared governance model where pharma members play a role in steering the initiative.

A Noble Vocation: The Life and Legacy of Artist Eugene von Guerard (1811-1901)
Creators: name: Manton, Karen
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: The peripatetic life of nineteenth-century landscape artist Eugene von Guerard spanned both hemispheres of the globe and most of the nineteenth century. The facts that scaffold his life, initially recounted by the artist himself, are frequently reiterated in commentaries about his art, but the man behind the public persona has been largely ignored. There has been no in-depth investigation of why the forty-year-old artist migrated to colonial Victoria, the current assumption being that he came to dig for gold, or why, after twenty-nine years, he decided to return permanently to Europe. This thesis examines the background to both issues. It explores the trajectory of von Guerard's life within the multiple socio-cultural contexts in which it was embedded, the power structures and underlying dynamics within them, and their impact on individual lives. It investigates how such historically situated fields determined the organizing principles of von Guerard's life, defined his possibilities, and influenced his legacy. The thesis is a biographical study, not an art history or a treatise on von Guerard's art, though elements of both are included. The approach is interdisciplinary. It draws on Geertz's interpretive methodology and Bourdieu's concept of the habitus to determine the factors that shaped the deepest disposition of the man, his cosmopolitan sensibilities, and their manifestation as a mediating principle throughout his life. Micro-historian Carlo Ginzburg's methodology of following clues and identifying lacunae provided an evidential pathway through extant letters, archived papers, and secondary source material, to reveal elements of the historical and art historical discourse pertaining to von Guerard that may be contested. Through the study of von Guerard's life, this thesis addresses the broader issues associated with nineteenth-century European migration, the dissonance between habitus and habitat in Melbourne's settler society, and the culture of disenfranchisement and "othering" inherent in the British colonial enterprise. A consideration of the restoration of von Guerard's reputation as Australia's leading colonial landscape artist and his reinstatement in the canon of Australian art after nearly a century of oblivion, highlights the political underpinning of how we conceptualize and shape our narratives of nationhood, identity, and belonging.

Untersuchungs- schwerpunkt sind drei Filmanalysen von drei sehr unterschiedlichen Filmen der 1990er- bis 2010er-Jahre („Mighty Aphrodite“, „Se7en“, „Sicario“ und „Das Parfum“). Die Analysen zeigen, dass die gestalterischen Mittel und die gestalterischen Möglich- keiten zahlreich und in ihren Zielen und Wirkungen auf das Publikum vielfältig sind. Folgende Schlussfolgerungen gehen aus der Untersuchung hervor: Loop Groups können unter anderem kommentierend, aufmerksamkeitslenkend oder stimmungs- verstärkend sein, die Größe oder Lage des Handlungsorts verdeutlichen oder sogar inhaltlich zur Geschichte beitragen. Auch können sie für surreale Szenen verwendet werden. Aus dieser Vielfalt von Einsatzmöglichkeiten chorischer Elemente leitet sich im zweiten Teil der Untersuchung ab, dass die Verwendung im Produktionsprozess eines Films frühzeitig und umfassend geplant und vorbereitet sein muss, um optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Das betrifft das Casting geeigneter Sprecherinnen und Sprecher, die Wahl der idealen Aufnahmetechnik und die (Ton)-Regieführung. Der Exkurs der Arbeit zeigt weitere technische Möglichkeiten der Herstellung von Loop Groups auf, wie zum Beispiel „Sound Particles“ und beschreibt und bewertet Entwicklungen, die im Verlauf der Corona-Pandemie entstanden sind. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse lässt sich nun gezielter mit Loop Groups arbeiten, was anhand der Bachelorarbeit „Between Two Lines“ verdeutlicht wurde.
title: La rilevanza del comportamento processuale della parte nel pensiero di Emilio Betti

description: Emilio Betti è tra i primi in Italia a parlare di ‘autoresponsabilità’ delle parti nel processo, trattando il tema della natura del contraddittorio e dell’onere dell’allegazione. Eppure, gli svolgimenti del suo pensiero processualistico attraverso il tempo sono stati sottovalutati o, comunque considerati superficialmente e ridotti a un adattamento dell’elaborazione tedesca, quando invece rivelavano differenze sostanziali. Di fronte alla difficoltà con la quale Betti è diventato oggetto di attenzione ‘ufficiale’, di discussione dei suoi schemi teorico-ideologici – in ordine ai quali ha pesato il pregiudizio per la sua adesione al fascismo – si sottolinea la necessità di una valutazione critica, attraverso l’analisi del problema della rilevanza del comportamento processuale della parte. Si tratta di un tema strettamente connesso alle analisi sul contraddittorio, che attengono alla ridefinizione del potere delle parti, alla valutazione delle garanzie difensive, alla responsabilizzazione dei soggetti. In ordine a tutti questi aspetti, il pensiero di Betti è analizzato all’interno di riflessioni, discorsi e realtà che affrontavano il tema del contradditorio come problema cruciale che coinvolgeva il dibattito del primo Novecento sulla riforma del processo e del codice, evitandosi semplicistiche deduzioni in senso ideologico. Il punto nodale era stabilire se sanzionare o meno l’atteggiamento passivo della parte. Betti afferma che il comportamento omissivo della parte poteva unicamente rilevare dal punto di vista del regime della prova legale, peraltro in determinate ipotesi eccezionali e cioè quando la parte si rifiutava di prestare giuramento oppure nell’ipotesi che non avesse disconosciuto la scrittura privata prodotta dalla controparte. Betti, dunque, mette in relazione l’attività processuale della parte con l’onere della prova, mantenendo fermo il principio dell’allegazione a carico di chi vuol far valere il proprio diritto o la propria eccezione, distaccandosi dalle rigidità della dottrina tedesca che legava l’‘autoresponsabilità’ del contegno processuale a un regime sanzionatorio per quei comportamenti non improntati alla verità e alla diligenza.

The political spaces of Black women in the city: identity, agency, and the flow of social capital in Newark, NJ
Creators: name: Wilson, Kellie Darice
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: This project explores U.S. Black women's participation in social networks that enable political mobilizations in Newark, NJ. These networks include religious and social clubs, service clubs, neighborhood associations, indigenous cultural organizations, women's ethnic organizations, labor unions and other types of voluntary organizations that facilitate the creation, flow, and utilization of social capital. These networks transcend allegiance to local, state or national centers of government and often pursue politics that seek to blur or defy well-defined scalar structures. Often they seek to connect politics to larger racialized national trends in political economy while seeking to make social and political change at the local level. Using an interpretivist approach to data collection and analysis, I explore the discursive strategies of politicization, including the positive actions that U.S. Black women take to create and maintain political spaces that can be used to pursue their political objectives in Newark, NJ. This research suggests that in cases when Black women's political agency contributes to Black cultural production, the political support and cultivation of social capital to support Black women's political agency can be expected to flourish. When Black women politically challenge hegemonic elements of Black cultural production--specifically when they have challenged singular, masculinist conceptions of both Blackness and community--the flow of social capital in support of that agency will be stifled, resulting in the lack of social transformation at the local level.

description: Matter-wave interferometers utilizing different isotopes or chemical elements intrinsically have different sensitivities, and the analysis tools available until now are insufficient for accurately estimating the atomic phase difference under many experimental conditions. In this work, we describe and demonstrate two new methods for extracting the differential phase between dual-species atom interferometers for precise tests of the weak equivalence principle. The first method is a generalized Bayesian analysis, which uses knowledge of the system noise to estimate the differential phase based on a statistical model. The second method utilizes a mechanical accelerometer to reconstruct single-sensor interference fringes based on measurements of the vibration-induced phase. An improved ellipse-fitting algorithm is also implemented as a third method for comparison. These analysis tools are investigated using both numerical simulations and experimental data from simultaneous $^{87}$Rb and $^{39}$K interferometers, and both new techniques are shown to produce bias-free estimates of the differential phase. We also report observations of phase correlations between atom interferometers composed of different chemical species. This correlation enables us to reject common-mode vibration noise by a factor of 730, and to make preliminary tests of the weak equivalence principle with a sensitivity of $1.6 \times 10^{-6}$ per measurement with an interrogation time of $T = 10$ ms. We study the level of vibration rejection by varying the temporal overlap between interferometers in a symmetric timing sequence. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the new analysis methods for future applications of differential atom interferometry.

description: Objectives The objective of this report was to provide a review of the minipig intraoral dental implant model including a meta-analysis to estimate osseointegration and crestal bone remodeling. Methods A systematic review including PubMed and EMBASE databases through June 2021 was conducted. Two independent examiners screened titles/abstracts and selected full-text articles. Studies evaluating titanium dental implant osseointegration in native alveolar bone were included. A quality assessment of reporting was performed. Random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions were produced for bone-implant contact (BIC), first BIC, and crestal bone level. Results 125 out of 249 full-text articles were reviewed, 55 original studies were included. Quality of reporting was generally low, omissions included animal characteristics, examiner masking/calibration, and sample size calculation. The typical minipig model protocol included surgical extraction of the mandibular premolars and first molar, 12±4 wks post-extraction healing, placement of three narrow regular length dental implants per jaw quadrant, submerged implant healing and 8 wks of osseointegration. Approximately 90% of studies reported undecalcified incandescent light microscopy histometrics. Overall, mean BIC was 59.88% (95%CI: 57.43–62.33). BIC increased significantly over time (p<0.001): 40.93 (95%CI: 34.95–46.90) at 2 wks, 58.37% (95%CI: 54.38–62.36) at 4 wks, and 66.33% (95%CI: 63.45–69.21) beyond 4 wks. Variability among studies was mainly explained by differences in observation interval post-extraction and post-implant placement, and implant surface. Heterogeneity was high for all studies (I2 > 90%, p<0.001). Conclusions The minipig intraoral dental implant model appears to effectively demonstrate osseointegration and alveolar bone remodeling similar to that observed in humans and canine models.

description: The main objective of this report is to present the decision-making practices that drive potential migrants to
 leave the areas of origin as well as to settle in or move forward from Sousse city. The description of Tunisian case study is divided into two main sections: the first one is dedicated to the results of the literature review which describes push and pull and hold back factors of migration from Tunisia to Europe and particularly as the first step from Tunisian rural areas to Sousse. The factors are organised into the following subsections: environmental conditions, demographic situation, socio-cultural context, economic situation and last but not least political circumstances that may cause migration. The second section presents results of the research carried in Sousse with the focus on the reasons of departure from the origins and how it was changing in time, the perception of the current situation in the city of Sousse and finally the future intention to move forward, stay or return to the area of origin. Some thought on further areas worth to be investigated are given at the end of this part.
