‘Our English Deborah’ Elizabeth analogies in early- and mid-seventeenth-century England (1603–1659)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis analyses how analogies using Elizabeth I of England were employed by a variety of writers and commentators in a range of ways to counsel, critique, warn, rebuke, and reprove her Stuart successors, as well as the two Lords Protector, during the turmoil and upheaval of the period 1603 to 1659. In this period, Elizabeth was paralleled with, compared to, or conflated with a litany of biblical figures, including Daniel, David, Deborah, Esther, Jacob, Josiah, Judith, Moses, Samuel, Solomon, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Elizabeth had been compared and conflated with many of these figures during her reign for various religio-political purposes, and had in fact compared herself to Deborah, Judith, Esther, David, Daniel, and Solomon. The existing scholarship on Elizabeth analogies, however, almost exclusively deals with how they were invoked during Elizabeth’s lifetime. A central argument of this thesis is that such analogies remained extremely potent devices of counsel and rebuke, and took on new meanings and purposes, in the decades after Elizabeth’s death. \n \nScriptural analogies—those drawn between Elizabeth and a biblical figure—were a central part of the legacy of the last Tudor monarch in early- and mid-seventeenth-century England. This thesis argues that they provided (retroactive) religio-political validation of Elizabeth’s reign, as both a female king and as a resolute Protestant; they depicted Elizabeth as a providential monarch whom the incumbent Stuart monarch or Lord Protector should be emulating; and by offering such counsel to her successors they sought to effect meaningful change. Elizabeth analogies allowed the dead queen to be depicted by different groups of people—with a range of agendas—as the embodiment of a providential ruler from the Old Testament whom her successors should emulate. \n
An infinite hidden Markov model with stochastic volatility

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper extends the Bayesian semiparametric stochastic volatility (SV‐DPM) model. Instead of using a Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) to model return innovations, we use an infinite hidden Markov model (IHMM). This allows for time variation in the return density beyond that attributed to parametric latent volatility. The new model nests several special cases as well as the SV‐DPM. We also discuss posterior and predictive density simulation methods for the model. Applied to equity returns, foreign exchange rates, oil price growth and industrial production growth, the new model improves density forecasts, compared with the SV‐DPM, a stochastic volatility with Student's innovations and other fat‐tailed volatility models.
Credit Holidays" - Origins and Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Use by Eligible Borrowers Using Selected Examples

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The occurrence of negative phenomena over the past two years: the Covid-19 pandemic, the temporary disruption of supply chains, the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis has affected many aspects of the global economy, including the rise in inflation and interest rates. All borrowers, including more than two million households in Poland repaying home loans, have been affected by these changes - most notably visible in the dynamic increase in lending rates. In order to help borrowers repay the instalments of such loans granted in zloty, the Legislator introduced legislation in July 2022 allowing for the use of „credit holidays”. The purpose of this article is to present the results of a study carried out on the basis of sample home loans - the impact of the introduction of „credit holidays” on the level of loan principal and instalments, assuming that all the money saved from the suspension of instalments is used to overpay the loan.
Impact of Automated Underwriting Systems on Insurance Risk Classification in Singapore

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of automated underwriting systems on insurance risk classification in Singapore. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study found that these systems significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of risk assessment. By utilizing advanced algorithms and data analytics, automated systems can process large volumes of data quickly, leading to more precise risk classification and reduced underwriting time. This enhances the ability of insurers to offer more personalized premiums based on individual risk profiles. However, the study also highlighted potential concerns about data privacy and the reliance on algorithmic decisions, suggesting the need for balanced oversight to ensure fair and transparent practices in risk classification. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Algorithmic fairness theory, data privacy theory & technology acceptance model (TAM) may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of automated underwriting systems on insurance risk classification in Singapore. In practice, insurers should prioritize the implementation of AUS that are transparent and explainable. Policymakers should establish robust regulatory frameworks that govern the use of AUS in insurance. These frameworks should mandate fairness audits, transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and strict data privacy standards to protect policyholders.
Views on Future Research Contributing to a Solution of the Resistance Problem

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The insecticide-resistance problem must be resolved through the cooperative efforts or industry and publicly supported institutions in order to maintain the prominent role that chemicals now hold as weapons for fighting insects. Chemicals and methods or use that will assure effective control or insects and minimum hazards to other organisms must be given primary attention in our research efforts. Basic investigations will be essential but applied research must also be continued and strengthened to meet the day-to-day problems encountered in dealing with the thousands or species. Various approaches to insect control, depending on the species and circumstances, must he developed. These should include chemical, biological, cultural, varietal, or a combination or these methods. In the area or chemical control, basic and applied research must be undertaken on insecticides, repellents, and attractants. A better understanding of insect physiology, insect nutrition, and insect reproduction should facilitate research leading to better solutions to insect problems. All research institutions, whether supported by industry or by the general public, must take a broad look at the problems and on this basis develop their programs. This will necessitate close cooperation or scientists in various disciplines.

Religious Coping Methods as Predictors of Psychological, Physical and Spiritual Outcomes among Medically Ill Elderly Patients: A Two-year Longitudinal Study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

A total of 268 medically ill, elderly, hospitalized patients responded to measures of religious coping and spiritual, psychological and physical functioning at baseline and follow-up two years later. After controlling for relevant variables, religious coping was significantly predictive of spiritual outcome, and changes in mental and physical health. Generally, positive methods of religious coping (e.g. seeking spiritual support, benevolent religious reappraisals) were associated with improvements in health. Negative methods of religious coping (e.g. punishing God reappraisal, interpersonal religious discontent) were predictive of declines in health. Patients who continue to struggle with religious issues over time may be particularly at risk for health-related problems.
<title>Improved Byatt modulator</title>

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Byatt describes the use of a multiple electrode or segmented liquid crystal switchable polarizer in combination with a monitor for a field sequential stereoscopic display. The benefit of this approach is to suppress crosstalk caused by the phosphor afterglow. The multiple-segment Byatt modulator has a noticeable drawback: the segments are visible as individual units. In our paper we describe how to make these segments invisible.

Cancellation Crises

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Nixon considered canceling the Moscow summit even as Kissinger finalized plans to go on a secret trip to the Soviet Union in April 1972 to discuss Vietnam and the summit planning. Nixon was concerned with the deteriorating military situation in South Vietnam, and he worried that the Soviets would cancel the summit in solidarity with their ally Hanoi after the United States responded with force against North Vietnam. However, the Nixon White House laid the groundwork to encourage the Soviets to consider détente separately from Vietnam, conveying a tacit modus vivendi via the confidential channel with Dobrynin. While Nixon pondered the possibility of canceling the summit, the administration also used back channels to read Soviet intentions. Ultimately, Treasury Secretary John Connally convinced Nixon to leave the onus of any cancellation or postponement of the summit to the Soviets. Domestic opinion polls buttressed the president’s decision since the American public did not see the Moscow summit as interrelated to the situation in Vietnam. In the Kremlin, Brezhnev, Gromyko, and Kosygin blocked hard-liners’ attempts and consolidated control in favor of the summit while rhetorically condemning the American bombing-mining campaign against North Vietnam. The summit thus became the successful product of U.S.-Soviet back-channel diplomacy.
The Instability of the Meson

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Values of the proper lifetime of the meson have been deduced from a comparison of the intensity of mesons in an inclined direction under air with that in the vertical under a superposed lead shield equivalent in absorbing power to the difference between the masses of air traversed by the mesons before reaching the apparatus in the two directions. The required mass of lead was calculated from the Bethe and Bloch formula. The reliability of this use of the formula has been verified by an experimental determination of the relative stopping powers of water and lead. We calculate from our experimental data that the average proper lifetime of all mesons having energies exceeding 6.1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{8}$ ev upon reaching the apparatus is equal to 3.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3 microseconds, and the average proper lifetime of all mesons with energies exceeding 11.9\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{8}$ ev upon reaching the apparatus is equal to 3.8\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4 microseconds. From the same data, the proper lifetime of only those mesons having about 9\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{8}$ ev energy upon reaching the apparatus is equal to 2.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.8 microseconds. With the theory of Euler and Heisenberg, the proper lifetime has also been calculated from measurements of the number of disintegration electrons and their secondaries in equilibrium with the mesons in air. The value obtained by this method is roughly equal to 6 microseconds.
Validation and Verification of the Evaluated Electron Data Library in FRENSIE

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Verification and validation tests have been performed for the single scattering Evaluated Electron Data Library (EEDL) implemented in the Framework for Research in Nuclear ScIence and Engineering (FRENSIE). Tests compared simulation results with experimental results for electron multiple scattering and low-energy backscattering coefficients as well as simulation results from MCNP6.2. Several bivariate grid policies (unit base, correlated, and unit base correlated) and elastic scattering implementations (coupled versus decoupled) were tested. FRENSIE showed good agreement with MCNP6.2 when using the same grid policy and elastic implementation. Logarithmic-logarithmic grid policies were found to best match experimental results. For multiple scattering, an increase in accuracy was seen when using coupled elastic scattering. When using correlated or unit-base-correlated grid policies, computational results matched the experimental measurements of Hanson et al. [Phys. Rev., Vol. 84, p. 634,(1951)] for the peak amplitude of the angular distribution to within 7% and for θ1/e to within 2%, but the unit-base grid policy showed error up to 38% and 24%, respectively. For backscattering coefficients, all results below 1 keV showed large error caused by insufficiencies in the data at that energy range. The correlated and unit-base-correlated grid policies overestimated the backscattering coefficient experimental results above 1 keV, but the unit-base grid policy was in the range of the measured experimental backscattering coefficients.
Isatin inhibits SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell invasion and metastasis through PTEN signaling.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Isatin inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of neuroblastoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Isatin increased the expression level of H3K4m1 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and decreased the phosphorylation level of PTEN downstream proteins phosphoinositide 3-kinase, protein kinase B, mammalian target of rapamycin, focal adhesion kinase, and SHC. Together, these results support the potential anti-metastatic effects of isatin on NB cells.
Ankle and foot pathologies in early rheumatoid arthritis, what can ultrasound tell us?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune polyarticular disease. Despite being commonly affected in RA, the ankle and foot do not receive much attention, particularly in early disease. The precise diagnosis of their involvement and its impact on health is a clinical challenge that requires accurate assessment. Aim To determine the role of ultrasound in evaluation of ankle and foot pathologies and assess its impact on functional activity in newly diagnosed RA patients. Methods The study was conducted on 152 RA patients and 52 healthy controls. Patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, and ultrasound scan. Impact on health was measured by health assessment questionnaire, as well as foot function index. Results In a cohort of patients with early RA with median duration of 1 month, tibialis posterior (TP) tenosynovitis (45.4%) was the most common pathology, followed by tibiotalar (TTJ) synovitis (39.8%), and peroneal tenosynovitis (39.1%). In terms of disease duration, TTJ ( P = .001) foot pathologies were less common in early RA and tended to worsen over time, whereas TP ( P = .048) and peroneal tenosynovitis ( P = .011) were more common in early RA. In multivariate analysis TTJ, subtalar synovitis, forefoot pathologies, TP tenosynovitis, and Achilles enthesitis were found to be significant predictors of functional disability. The most important predictors of ankle pain were TTJ synovitis, TP tenosynovitis, peroneal tenosynovitis, and plantar fasciitis. Conclusion Ankle and foot involvement is a common issue of early RA, and it has a significant impact on quality of life. Ultrasound is a reliable tool for evaluating various abnormalities in this complex area, allowing for better management.
Exploring Student and Staff Perceptions of Customer Service Support Within a Student Enrollment System in University A

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Creating a supportive environment for new students in an institution of higher education (IHE) is imperative for a university. Within the supportive environment, the IHE stakeholders must understand what the students' needs are and build structures and procedures to meet those needs. When the customer service support needs of students are not met, this could result in a decline in enrollment for an institution. There is a need to understand higher education student and staff perceptions of the quality of customer service provided within enrollment service areas for new students in University A. In addition, it is important to understand student satisfaction and their need for support offered during the enrollment process. The purpose of this concurrent mixed methods study was to explore student and staff perceptions about the effectiveness of a decentralized enrollment services model to understand student satisfaction with support services and customer service needs in University A. In doing so, this study sought to unveil how student support needs are being met and the barriers that could be affecting the efficacy of a decentralized student enrollment services model. The researcher conducted a concurrent mixed methods research design study to explore and collect quantitative data through a student survey and qualitative data through individual staff interviews. The results indicated (a) there is a lack of structure surrounding university policies and procedures as it relates to customer service at University A, (b) new students do not have one clear identified path to take when contacting the University, (c) enrollment service staff are currently trained only in their own service area and do not feel as if they have the cross-training or knowledge to provide new students with guidance as it pertains to other service areas, and (d) quantitative student data and qualitative staff correlate to identify a need to improve customer service offerings for new students. This information will guide future initiatives and opportunities for improvement within the service areas at the University.
Problems Facing Small and Medium Size Contractors in Swaziland

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The paper explores the problems facing Small and Medium Size Contractors in Swaziland. The construction sector in Swaziland is not only a significant source of direct employment but also a sector which contributes, through its wide range of projects and operations. The paper will also look at the current government initiatives that had been put in place to address the challenges and problems in order to ensure that contractors are successful. There is a high failure rate among small and medium size contractors in Swaziland. These contractors fail for a variety of reasons ranging from lack of adequate capacity to handle the uniqueness, complexity and risks in contracting, lack of effective management, lack of business management, poor record keeping and inadequate technical, financial and contract managerial skills. Drawing on research on small and medium size contractors, the paper used both secondary and primary litera-ture. 100 questionnaires were distributed to different role players in the construction sector in Swaziland. The response rate was eighty seven (87) percent. The paper reveals that the most problems facing small and medium size contractors in Swaziland is lack of access to finance and late payment by government. The paper closes with recommendations and key lessons for the future.
Biochemical analysis of eight different Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici isolates using SDS PAGE marker

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Tomato plants are affected by numerous environmental factors, especially biotic stresses such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and insect pests while growing that lead to yield damage.Globally, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.lycopersici is considered a crucial pathogen that has been documented to cause damage to tomatoes by decreasing the yield in both open fields and the greenhouse.Fusarium wilt is a soil-borne fungal pathogen capable of surviving in the soil and crop debris for a decade and has been known to enter the plant through wounds on roots.SDS-PAGE analysis was done in eight isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lycopersici.The results revealed that the studied isolates of Fusarium were clearly distinguished from each other at the studied biochemical level.The dendrogram obtained from the data showed that hierarchical clustering separated the isolates into three groups according to their similarity coefficients, confirming that some protein-based markers were associated.Therefore, biochemical markers associated with highly pathogenic Fusarium isolates offered a promising alternative to morphological markers to decide the appropriate selection of high pathogeneses for many biological applications.
