title: Comparing Social Solidarity Across Historical Societies

authors: Marryatt, Nick

abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to develop the concept of social solidarity such that it can be compared across different societies. This is demonstrated by comparing social solidarity across four different historical societies. This thesis develops the concept of social solidarity through a critical dialogue with the work of Emile Durkheim. By applying contemporary sociological and psychological theory to the concept of social solidarity this thesis develops a conceptual framework of social solidarity such that differing levels and forms of social solidarity can be inferred across societies. In particular this is done by linking human material and psychological needs to social solidarity. This thesis argues that those social institutions which meet the needs of people also increase the level of social solidarity between those people. By examining social institutions and the degree to which they meet people's needs it is possible to infer the extent of social solidarity in that society.

This thesis goes on to apply this procedure to four forms of society, feudal, early industrial, Fordist and neo-liberal societies. This thesis argues that the shift from feudal society to industrial capitalist society caused a significant decline in the level of social solidarity, although this social transformation was not without potential for generating a society with a much higher level of social solidarity. Fordist society is an example of one possible society which merges a high level of social solidarity with industrial capitalism. However the brief nature of Fordist society suggests that the underlying logic of capitalism may make such a society with high social solidarity unsustainable.

title: Heegner cycles and congruences between anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions over CM-extensions

authors: Delbourgo, Daniel

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: Let E be a CM-field, and suppose that f, g are two primitive Hilbert cusp forms over E⁺ of weight 2 satisfying a congruence modulo λʳ. Under appropriate hypotheses, we show that the complex L-values of f and g twisted by a ring class character over E, and divided by the motivic periods, also satisfy a congruence relation mod λʳ (after removing some Euler factors). We treat both the even and odd cases for the sign in the functional equation – this generalizes classical work of Vatsal [23] on congruences between elliptic modular forms twisted by Dirichlet characters. In the odd case, we also show that the p-adic logarithms of Heegner points attached to f and g satisfy a congruence relation modulo λʳ, thus extending recent work of Kriz and Li [17] concerning elliptic modular forms.

title: He titiro ki ētahi o ngā rerekētanga me ngā ritenga o te karakia tūturu Māori me ngā karakia karaitiana Māori

authors: Murphy, Ēnoka

subjects: Karakia

abstract: Puta noa i Aotearoa he maha tonu ngā wāhi me ngā wā e rāngona ai e te tangata tēnei mea te karakia. O ēnei wā ko ngā karakia e rangona ai he karakia Māori tonu engari kua kaha kē ake te hari i te karakia karaitiana me ōna whakatakotoranga. Ka mutu, tērā rā ētahi rerekētanga me ētahi ritenga o te karakia Māori tūturu nei me ērā o te karakia karaitiana. Nā, nō roto ake i ngā tau toru tekau nei, kua nui te whawhai a te Māori puta noa ki te hahū ake, ki te whakahoki mai, ki te whakaora mai anō i tōna reo, i ōna tikanga, i tōna titiro tonu ki tōna ao kia pakari ai, kia noho mārō hītarari mai anō ai mō ngā uri whakatupuranga kei te heke. Nā reira, e whai take ana kia whēiroiro ai ētahi o ngä rerekētanga me ngā ritenga tonu o ngā momo karakia e rua nei.
