We present some simple arguments to indicate that the XY model defined on a space of constant negative curvature is disordered at all non-zero finite temperatures. This corroborates a result which Wilczek and Callan arrived at recently.

Full textAbstract:
The nonextensive statistics proposed by Tsallis has found wide applicability, being present even in the description of experimental data from high energy collisions. A system with a fractal structure in its energy-momentum space, named thermofractal, was shown to be described thermodynamically by the nonextensive statistics. Due to the many common features between thermofractals and Hagedorn’s fireballs, this system offers the possibility of investigating the origins of nonextensivity in hadronic physics and in QCD. In this regard, the investigation of the scaling properties of thermofractals through the renormalization group equation, known as Callan–Symanzik equation, can be an interesting approach.

Critical exponents of the O(m)-symmetric model are calculated in the case when dimension of space is noninteger. Calculations are performed in the frames of the field-theoretical approach using the three-loop approximation. Renormalization group functions in the Callan-Symanzik scheme are considered directly in noninteger dimensions. Perturbation theory expansions are resummed with the use of Padé-Borel transformation.

We study the existence of solutions of the string equations which are pole-free on the positive real axis and exhibit such a solution following the work of Boutroux. We further study, using perturbation theory, the flows among different models and we find that there is no flow between the k=2 and k=3 theories. Moreover, we develop a nonperturbative renormalization-group scheme to extract the scaling behavior of the partition function of the k=2 model under perturbations. The key idea is to reinterpret the recent formulation, as Virasoro constraints, of the string-loop equations as generalized Callan-Symanzik renormalization-group equations.

We describe a technically very simple analytical approach to the deep infrared regime of Yang–Mills theory in the Landau gauge via Callan–Symanzik renormalization group equations in an epsilon expansion. This approach recovers all the solutions for the infrared gluon and ghost propagators previously found by solving the Dyson–Schwinger equations of the theory and singles out the solution with decoupling behavior, confirmed by lattice calculations, as the only one corresponding to an infrared attractive fixed point (for space-time dimensions above two). For the case of four dimensions, we describe the crossover of the system from the ultraviolet to the infrared fixed point and determine the complete momentum dependence of the propagators. The results for different renormalization schemes are compared to the lattice data.

We study the fixed-point interactions and the renormalization group invariance for an effective nucleon–nucleon (NN) interaction in the leading-order (LO) chiral effective field theory (ChEFT) renormalized within the framework of the subtracted kernel method (SKM) approach. By solving a nonrelativistic Callan–Symanzik (NRCS) equation we show how the driving term evolves with the subtraction scale to keep the T-matrix invariant. We calculate the fixed-point interaction from the driving term and compare the results obtained with and without its evolution through the NRCS equation.

The longitudinal susceptibility χL of the O(N) theory in the broken phase is analyzed by means of three different approaches, namely the leading contribution of the 1/N expansion, the Functional Renormalization Group flow in the Local Potential approximation and the improved effective potential via the Callan–Symanzik equations, properly extended to d = 4 dimensions through the expansion in powers of ϵ = 4-d. The findings of the three approaches are compared and their agreement in the large N limit is shown. The numerical analysis of the Functional Renormalization Group flow equations at small N supports the vanishing of [Formula: see text] in d = 3 and d = 3.5 but is not conclusive in d = 4, where we have to resort to the Callan–Smanzik approach. At finite N as well as in the limit N→∞, we find that [Formula: see text] vanishes with J as Jϵ/2 for ϵ> 0 and as ( ln (J))-1 in d = 4.

Full textAbstract:
This item is only available electronically.The lowermost Adelaidean sequences exposed to the immediate north of Arkaroola are unusual as they exhibit a localised complexity of deformation and elevated metamorphic grade that is not observed elsewhere in the Adelaide Fold Belt. Deformation and metamorphism in Arkaroola is thought to have formed as part of the Delamerian Orogen approximately 515-490 Ma. The timing of deformation and metamorphism however is poorly constrained in this area. This paper aims to discuss the structural and metamorphic conditions in the area to determine if there was a possibility of a pre or post-Delamerian structural and/or thermal event. A section was mapped to the North-East of the Arkaroola Homestead to gain an insight into the structural and metamorphic conditions of the area. Samples were collected from the field and used for microstructural analysis. An Electron Microprobe, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer and an XRF spectrometer were used for geochemical analysis on the samples. Structural and stratigraphic observations combined with microstructural analysis of samples from the field helped the author create an interpreted geological history of the area. Graben formation accommodated an initial period of sediment deposition followed by basalt extrusion. Several phases of localised rifting and deposition followed this initial deposition period due to changing fault geometries. A mineral fabric that occurs parallel to bedding is seen throughout the study area. This fabric is overgrown and included in prominent cordierite porphyroblasts that formed during peak metamorphism of ≥500 °C at a pressure of approximately ~1.30kbars. These pressure and temperature conditions were primarily due to the burial beneath a thick cover of sediments. A number of faults trending in a NE-SW direction have been identified as splays from the Paralana fault system. The strike-slip movement of the Paralana Fault along with the high heat producing basement of the Mount Painter Inlier has controlled the localised structural complexity and elevated metamorphic grade in the Arkaroola area.

Full textAbstract:
This item is only available electronically.The lowermost sediments of the Adelaide Supergroup near Arkaroola display pronounced structural complexity and anomalously high metamorphic grade. The timing of the structures, fabrics and metamorphism in the region remain unconstrained, although all are currently interpreted to have occurred during the Delamerian Orogeny. Monazite U/Pb geochronology provides a useful technique for dating amphibolites facies rocks and, combined with map scale and micro structural observations, suggests the peak metamorphism and at least one deformation event occurred significantly earlier than the Delamerian Orogeny. Monazite derived 206Pb/238U age estimates place the timing of peak metamorphism at 705.2±7.4 Ma with observations from thin section revealing a bedding parallel fabric pre-dating peak metamorphism. U/Pb analysis also reveals a second monazite growth event at 644.2±8 Ma the cause of which is hypothesised to be fluid related. Regional folding and axial planar fabric generation post-dates this metamorphism and can be seen to overprint the earlier fabric and wrap the cordierite porphyroblasts. This final deformation event remains largely unconstrained as in situ dating of monazite was not possible in this study. The inferred parasitic relationship between the folds within the studied region and the Arkaroola Syncline which folds the youngest sediments in the Adelaidian Sequence allows for the deposition to be constrained subsequent to the conclusion of the Adelaide Rift Complex.

Full textAbstract:
Master of Science (Petroleum Geoscience) by coursework.The Officer Basin represents one of the last remaining onshore frontier exploration areas in Australia. It has potential to contain several very large oil fields within horsts capped by thick salt. The pre-salt trap within the Callanna Group in eastern Officer Basin has never been studied because of lack seismic coverage and deep well controls. The Callanna Group sequence upward consists of Pindyin Sandstone and Alinya shale-salt-dolomite. Some oil shows have been correlated to Alinya shale source rock. The full sequence was intersected by three wells drilled recently, one in the eastern and two wells in western parts of the basin. These intersected units are well-correlated with its type section based on lithology, superposition and wireline logs. The Pindyin Sandstone shows primary porosity and permeability and the overlying salts are thick and seismically mappable. Though these wells failed to find hydrocarbon accumulations, they have significantly improved the understanding the petroleum potential in the basin. The salt related structures in eastern Officer Basin are not as common as in Western Officer, Amadeus, Flinders Ranges, Eastern Siberia and South Oman Basins. The salt in eastern Officer Basin has been mobilized, while the salt in the western part of the basin is relatively stable. Salt features have been identified including salt anticlines, salt thickening and salt withdrawal collapse structures. At least seven salt anticlines are present but the outlines are uncertain because of poor seismic quality and coverage. They might have potential traps for the younger reservoir rocks e.g Murnaroo and Tarlina Sandstone. This study focuses on pre-salt hydrocarbon trap identification and evaluation (Pindyin Lead) through seismic mapping. Four structural time and depth maps have been generated and a total of 24 Pindyin Leads identified. The leads were classified into four groups: 1) a simple anticline, 2) drag rollover or anticline associated with reverse fault, 3) a gentle anticline or rollover associated with tilted graben due to an igneous intrusion or normal fault reactivation (reversed) and 4) Pindyin on-lapping against the sealing faults bounding the graben. The best pre-salt structural trap would be the simple anticline which has four way dip closure but it is not common in the basin and very deep to the target. The exploration should focus to identify this type of pre-salt play down dip the Murnaroo Platform where the depth to the Pindyin Sandstone is reachable. The second best Pindyin Lead is a gentle anticline in Manya and Wintinna Troughs, but it was defined by inadequate seismic controls. The most common pre-salt structural trap is a drag rollover or anticline associated with reverse faults, but it has high risk of the fault breach and poor reservoir rocks. Further study is needed to assess the trap closures, fault seal integrity, hydrocarbon generation and migration into trap.

Full textAbstract:
This item is only available electronically.The rift and deformational evolution of the Adelaide Fold Belt’s northern-most extent, the northern Flinders Ranges, has received comparatively little attention than that of the southern Adelaide Fold Belt. The Arkaroola area, located in the mid-north northern Flinders Ranges, exposes the lowermost Adelaidean stratigraphy of this rift complex, the Callanna and lower Burra Groups, in a near complete sedimentary sequence. The rift history of this stratigraphy is complex, with deposition being largely controlled by the northeast-southwest orientated Paralana Fault and similarly orientated local growth faults. Locally, the Paralana Fault deviates from its regional orientation and forms a north-south striking segment, which under a considered sinistral strike-slip regime during extension would potentially create localised transtension in a ‘releasing bend’ environment. Rifting in the Arkaroola area is therefore considered to be analogous to the formation of a pull-apart basin. U-Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Paralana Quartzite, Humanity Seat Formation and Blue Mine Conglomerate from the Callanna and lower Burra groups yields ages that are comparable to local source regions the Gawler Craton, Mount Painter Basement Complex and the Curnamona Province, and suggest proximal derivation during early rift phases. Sm-Nd bulk rock analysis on the finer grained Woodnamoka Formation implies derivation from the Mount Painter Basement Complex or the upper Willyama Supergroup of the Curnamona Province, the latter of which potentially suggests a more distal provenance region outside of the Australian continent. Deformation in the northern Flinders Ranges has previously been largely ascribed to the ca. 500 Ma Delamerian Orogeny. However, the Arkaroola area exhibits complex deformation not observed in the directly overlying gently folded stratigraphy. Reactivation of pull-apart rift structures during transpression is considered a possible mechanism for producing and localising such deformation. The possibility of an early Neoproterozoic deformational event occurring prior to deposition of the lesser-deformed overlying stratigraphy is also considered, but in lieu of an unequivocal orogenic unconformity, cannot be confidently ascribed. Temporal constraints defined by this study are too broad to accurately define the timing of deformation, and therefore its timing and potential relationship to the Delamerian Orogeny remains largely enigmatic.

Escorrega, Rui Manuel Falcão Guerreiro. "The goals and the value business angels perceive from their investment activity." Doctoral thesis, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10773/31510.
Full textAbstract:
Business angels (BAs), also designated as angels, play a vital role in the process of emergence and nurturing entrepreneurial startups at their early stages and keep growing in number and relevance. However, today, they face dramatic challenges from the increasing organisation of their activity through professionalised angel groups. New players (e.g. crowdfunding, venture capital) are also entering their natural arena of early-stage investments. Therefore, this is a critical moment, in which the scientific community and the BAs may reflect and create knowledge about the new way of acting and investing of these investors. The overall purpose of this doctoral thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the goals and the value angels currently perceive from their investing activity. First, angel goals were analysed under an approach proposing consumer behaviour and perceived value as a new lens of an integrative analysis with the conventional economic and financial views, to obtain a more holistic, richer, and precise view of the angel behaviour. Second, the perceived investment value, already applied to stock market investors, was extended to the angel scope to measure the type of values angels perceive from their activity and their impact on job satisfaction and reinvestment. Third, the angel activity was analysed through the career development theory perspective to uncover the internal motives that drive individuals to invest their money and effort following an angel career. Fourth, since calling became, in recent years, a fundamental topic in work and career development, part of the research was conducted to measure the impact of calling on the angels’ involvement in their activity, and on the value they perceive from it. Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies are adopted: the former is based on interviews with BAs and on the laddering technique; and the latter on structural equation modelling techniques, with which responses of angels worldwide to questionnaires were analysed. This thesis highlights that becoming a BA enhances the opportunity for achieving a high diversity of interrelated goals such as self-development, co-creating value with the entrepreneurs, earning money, having fun and experiencing emotional excitement from investing in startups. The importance of addressing angel activity as a career development process is reinforced. The perception of getting value with the investing activity, including career development, also makes BAs more satisfied and more likely to reinvest. Moreover, those BAs who see their work as a calling are more likely to perceive value from angel investing and more likely to be involved in angel activity. For many individuals, being a BA is not exclusively a financial game; the journey of being an angel is more important than the financial outcome. The “journey” is itself the destination. Finally, crucial implications were identified for angel groups, entrepreneurs and the entire BAs’ ecosystem. The angel experience is personal and non-delegable. Therefore, angels should not be prevented from reaching their deepest personal goals aligned with their lives. Professionalised groups and entrepreneurs should create conditions to let the angels live the angel experience they intend to live, being encouraged to achieve their most important goals. If this happens, BAs will feel more satisfied, increasing their reinvestment opportunities and remaining for a long term in the BAs’ career.Os business angels (BA), também designados como investidores anjo, desempenham um papel vital no processo de criação e financiamento de startups e continuam a crescer em número e relevância. No entanto, enfrentam atualmente enormes desafios de posicionamento, decorrentes da crescente organização da sua atividade através de grupos de BA profissionalizados e pela entrada de novos atores (ex. crowdfunding, capital de risco) no mercado. Este é um momento crítico, em que a comunidade científica e os BA poderem refletir e criar conhecimento sobre a nova forma de atuar e investir destes investidores. O objetivo principal desta tese é desenvolver uma análise mais profunda dos objetivos e do valor que os BA percebem da sua atividade. Primeiramente, os objetivos dos BA foram analisados sob uma abordagem que propõe o comportamento do consumidor e o valor percebido como uma nova lente de análise integrada com as visões económico-financeiras convencionais, de modo a obter uma visão mais holística, rica e precisa do BA. Em segundo lugar, o valor do investimento percebido, já aplicado aos investidores em bolsa, foi estendido à área dos BAs para medir o valor que os anjos percebem como resultado da sua atividade e o impacto deste na satisfação com o trabalho e na intenção de reinvestimento. Em terceiro, a atividade dos BAs foi analisada à luz das teorias de desenvolvimento de carreira para descobrir os motivos internos que levam os indivíduos a investir o seu dinheiro e esforço numa carreira de BA. Em quarto lugar, uma vez que a calling (vocação) se tornou, nos últimos anos, um tópico fundamental na análise do desenvolvimento da carreira, parte deste estudo foi conduzido para medir o impacto da vocação no envolvimento dos BA na sua atividade e na perceção do valor que dela resulta. Foram adotadas metodologias tanto qualitativas como quantitativas: as primeiras são baseadas em entrevistas com BA e na técnica de laddering, e as últimas na modelagem de equações estruturais com a qual se analisaram respostas a questionários de BA de todo o mundo. Esta tese realça que ser BA aumenta a oportunidade de atingir uma grande diversidade de objetivos pessoais interrelacionados tais como autodesenvolvimento, contribuir para a sociedade, cocriar valor com os empreendedores, ganhar dinheiro, divertir-se e experimentar a excitação emocional de investir em startups. A importância de abordar a atividade de BA como um processo de desenvolvimento de carreira sai reforçada. A perceção de valor com a atividade de investimento, incluindo o desenvolvimento de carreira, torna os BA mais satisfeitos e mais propensos a reinvestir. Além disso, os BA que veem o seu trabalho como uma vocação têm mais probabilidade de perceber o valor do investimento e de se envolverem na sua atividade de anjos. Para muitos indivíduos, ser BA não é apenas um jogo financeiro; pelo contrário, o caminho de ser investidor aparenta ser mais importante que o resultado financeiro. A própria “viagem” é o destino. Finalmente, foram identificadas implicações cruciais para grupos de BA, empreendedores e todo o ecossistema dos BA. A experiência de BA é pessoal e não delegável. Portanto, os BA não devem ser impedidos pelos grupos organizados de alcançar os seus objetivos pessoais mais profundos alinhados com as suas vidas. Grupos profissionalizados e empreendedores devem criar condições para permitir que os BA vivam a experiência que pretendem viver, sendo encorajados a atingir os seus objetivos mais importantes. Se assim for, os BA sentir-se-ão mais satisfeitos e aumentarão as suas oportunidades de reinvestir e permanecer a longo prazo na carreira de BA.

What explains the difference in black and non-black use of the n-word? In the mouths of black speakers the n-word can take on friendly, or at least benign significance. This chapter will be concerned with providing an explanation. First, it will present three accounts—i.e., the Ambiguity thesis, an Expressivist account, and an Echoic account, ultimately arguing that none of them is satisfactory. Next, it introduces the concepts of a speech community and a community of practice and explicates their roles in in-group uses. It concludes with a distinction between calling and addressing, introduced by Geneva Smitherman, to explain the specific illocutionary act undertaken by in-group members that allows for endearing or neutral uses of slurs and argues that membership in the relevant community of practice licenses one to access the relevant illocution.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores how human rights law has contributed to the shift towards participatory gender equality by legitimating the adoption of quotas and parity mechanisms to ensure women’s equal participation in decision-making. Since the adoption of CEDAW, human rights law has moved away from formal equality notions that simply affirm women’s equal political rights. Instead, we see growing endorsement of substantive equality doctrines that validate the adoption of gender quotas, initially as temporary special measures to ensure women equal opportunities, and, more recently, as permanent measures targeting the gender-balanced composition of an ever-expanding range of public and private governance bodies. The chapter explores how human rights law connects this participatory turn to issues of pluralism, calling attention to the need for public bodies to represent the full diversity of the population, and calling on state parties to increase the participation of women from ethnic minorities, indigenous groups, and religious minorities.

This chapter discusses the requirements calling for directors of a company to prepare accounts once a year, to be presented to the company’s members and filed at Companies House (unless the company is unlimited). The technical rules on the preparation of financial statements are explained. The role of the Financial Reporting Council as the regulator for accountancy, auditing, and financial reporting is also considered. The chapter outlines the accounting requirements, in which every company must keep reasonably accurate accounting records of all financial transactions, from which the directors must prepare annual accounts for each of the company’s financial years. The requirements for group accounts and the procedures for revising accounts that are found to be erroneous are examined as well. The chapter considers a particularly significant case: Caparo Industries plc v Dickman [1990] 2 AC 605.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), reported by Cleveland Clinic surgeon René Favaloro in 1969, represented a new approach to treating angina pectoris that involved operating directly on a diseased coronary artery. The strategy involved inserting a vein segment between the aorta and a coronary artery. This bypass graft carried blood to heart muscle that would normally have been supplied by a blocked coronary artery. CABG caught on quickly because it seemed to improve angina in a significant percentage of patients and produced income for surgeons and hospitals. But controversy surrounded the value of the operation, and Mayo heart specialists joined others in calling for controlled clinical trials to evaluate it. The Cleveland Clinic group initially resisted trials, claiming that their institutional experience proved that the operation was beneficial. In less than a decade, coronary bypass surgery was associated with a total annual cost of about $1 billion in America.

By the second half of the 1990s, the ad hoc tribunals started issuing judgments and providing invaluable insights into the relevant offenses. Regarding incitement, the foundational cases of Prosecutor v. Akayesu (1998) and Prosecutor v. Nahimana (the so-called Media Case) (2003) laid out the essential elements of the crime: (1) direct; (2) public; (3) incitement; and (4) mens rea. The jurisprudence clarified that persecution applied to a wide range of discriminatory actions, including use of hate speech perpetrated against a victim group when it effects a deprivation of fundamental rights. Building on this, an ICTR Trial Chamber in Prosecutor v. Ruggiu (2000) established that hate speech not calling for violence could qualify as persecution. Finally, jurisprudence also developed around the crimes of instigation (violence advocacy resulting in violence, wherein the advocacy made a contribution), and the comparable crime of ordering (instigation plus a superior-subordinate relationship between the speaker and listener).

In contrast to self-produced media like reversion stories, chapter 4 documents and assesses journalistic representations of Latino Muslims. In a post-9/11 media context, Latino Muslims received increased attention from journalists. It argues that these news stories have, however, reductively focused on “conversion” at the expense of more complex and diverse representations. Although much of this coverage has been reductive, it has generally not been overtly negative. An exception to this pattern is Spanish language news media, which has represented Latino Muslims in negative ways that echo the form but not the function of broader sets of orientalist images. Latino Muslims have responded by calling for boycotts and writing petitions to end the defamation of their identity group. The chapter argues that some of their responses are more reasonable than others and that they will require much broader support if these are to make any positive contributions to public discourse.

This book explores the history of the Israeli Socialist Organization – Matzpen (compass) – that splintered off from the Communist Party of Israel in 1962. After the Six Day War of June 1967, Matzpen shook Israeli society, calling for a withdrawal from the recently occupied territories, and placing itself outside the national consensus. Even before the war, the group emphasised the colonial dimension of the conflict between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, which was irresolvable within the paradigm of the nation-state. Matzpen instead advocated for Israel’s de-Zionisation and a socialist revolution in the Middle East in order to both restore the rights of Palestinian Arabs and guarantee the existence of Israeli Jews as a new Hebrew nation. However, in the era after Auschwitz, when the Jewish world stood in almost unanimous solidarity with the Jewish state, Matzpen’s radical perspective was at odds with the history and memory of the Holocaust. Against this backdrop, this study places Matzpen’s political stance in its historical context and sheds new light on the political culture of Israel.

<p>Has the time come for a thorough recomposition of working conditions? The health crisis and the successive measures to deal with it highlight the role of social, spatial, and temporal boundaries in the organisation of the economy, calling into question the functioning of democratic systems. The depth of inequality is now blatantly apparent, but also the vital importance of certain jobs that are often undervalued. Although the picture is bleak, the experiences of labour transformation help to focus the attention on what is most important: a real liberation of work that requires a collective framework, and the possibility of regularly deliberating and even intervening in the governance of organisations. Lucid in diagnosing what is real and ambitious in declaring what is desirable: this is the stance adopted by this collective book, which stems from the conviction that scientific rigour can be used to transform reality. This view also characterises the practice of the Groupe d’études sur le travail et la santé au travail (Gestes), a Scientific Interest Group (GIS) supported by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). Affirming this need to de-liberate work, while considering the ambivalences and uncertainties that surround such a project of economic and social transformation, this work brings together twenty contributions from a variety of disciplinary, theoretical and methodological perspectives.</p><p>The first part of the book deals with the effects of the new ways of organising time at work, especially for women. The second part explores the content of work, highlighting the links between employment and working conditions, particularly their effect on the boundary separating work and non-work. The third part discusses “alternative” forms of work organisation, considered more open to employee expression, and questions their scope. The fourth part shifts the attention from organisations to the legal or managerial mechanisms meant to encourage deliberation about work.</p>

Focusing on data collected from interviews and focus groups with men who have acted abusively, this chapter tells the story of men’s lives by reflecting on their childhood, trouble with the law, altercations with family and friends, and their early days of intimacy. Most men who batter do not believe they are violent. This chapter focuses on how religious beliefs and practices intersect with, and impact, the experience of controlling, abusive behavior. The contours of how men talk about their experience of interacting with the criminal justice system and other intervention services in the aftermath of their own violence toward an intimate are discussed. Also, issues such as vulnerability, entitlement, and resiliency are discussed, and explicitly spiritual factors such as guilt, remorse, uncertainty, forgiveness, and accountability are considered. The role pastors and other spiritual leaders can play in calling men who abuse to change thinking and change behavior is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAgency is central to humans’ individual rights and their organization as a community. Human agency is recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through guaranteed rights, such as the right to life, basic education, freedom of expression, and the freedom to form personal relationships, which all protect humans from tyranny and oppression. Though studies of animal agency consistently suggest that we grossly underestimate the capacity of animals to make decisions, determine and take action, and to organize themselves individually and as groups, few have concerned themselves with whether and how animal agency is relevant for the law and vice versa. Currently, most laws offer no guarantee that animals’ agency will be respected, and fail to respond when animals resist the human systems that govern them. This failure emerges from profound prejudices and deep-seated anthropocentric biases that shape the law, including law-making processes. Law and law-making operating exclusively as self-judging systems is widely decried and denounced—except in animal law. This chapter identifies standpoint acknowledgement as a means to dismantle these tendencies, and provides instructions on how to ask the right questions. It concludes by calling for an “animal agency turn” across disciplines, to challenge our assumptions about how we ought to organize human-animal relationships politically and personally, and to increase our civic competence and courage, empathy, participation, common engagement, and respect for animal alterity.

AbstractAccording to the United Nations (UN), at least 258 million people are moving across countries around the globe, consciously or unconsciously, in search of a safe and dignified life (IOM 2019; UN 2017). The international attempt to regulate these movements through the so-called Compacts seems unlikely to provide effective solutions. Often criticised as being non-binding instruments but with great potential in shaping states’ future behaviour (Türk 2018), the Compacts are not explicit in including SOGI minorities in the measures to be adopted through international cooperation for improving the management of migration and refugee flows, while respecting their human rights. It is noticeable that objective no. 7 (‘Address and reduce vulnerabilities in migration’) of the Global Compact related to migration refers to ‘victims of violence, including sexual and gender-based violence (…) [and] persons who are discriminated against on any basis’ as examples of vulnerable groups and, more generally, advances the development of gender-responsive migration policies (Atak et al. 2018). Equally, the Global Compact on Refugees pays attention in all fields to ‘sexual and gender-based violence’, while calling upon states to strengthen international efforts to prevent and combat it (paras. 5, 13, 51, 57, 59, 72 and 75). Yet, although this wording may be inclusive of SOGI, the Compacts avoided any specific reference or commitment in relation either to migrants who identify themselves as LGBTIQ+ or to SOGI claimants, perhaps owing to the need for the widest possible consensus among UN member states to secure the Compacts’ adoption. This represents a missed opportunity to raise awareness of SOGI asylum claimants’ needs at the universal level and speed up multilateral solutions to the movements across countries of people fleeing homophobia and transphobia.

This chapter focuses on the group psychoeducation done with the favored parents in families with parent–child contact problems attending Overcoming Barriers programs. A systems-based understanding of parent–child contact problems highlights the importance of intervention with each member of the family. The author describes the personality traits, beliefs, feelings, and attitudes of favored parents as well as challenges that such characteristics pose to clinical intervention. Strategies to promote a shift in favored parents’ beliefs about the health of their children are discussed, including calling attention to cognitive distortions, teaching about concepts such as memory and suggestibility, and building skills for coping with emotional triggers. The role of group process and relationships among group members are discussed as possible mechanisms of change. Case material is used to illustrate key points.

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter presents a brief overview of the history of philosophia—the Greek name, and the discipline that it came to name. It shows that, beginning around 500 BCE, the coinage of a “love of wisdom” was met with a wry verbal slight. But a century and a half later, the term is revealed in the maturity of an institution that is continuous with today's departments of philosophy. This phenomenon—accommodating a name-calling name and consolidating a structured group around it—recurs through history, as the cases of the Quakers, Shakers, Freaks, and queer activists illustrate. A norm-policing name, at first distasteful, gets appropriated, facilitates a new and ennobling self-understanding, and then governs a productive and tight-knit social enterprise. The chapter argues that such is the origin of philosophia.

Full textAbstract:
A straightforward construction of a local, relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) leads to ultraviolet (UV) divergences and a QFT has to be regularized by modifying its short-distance or large energy momentum structure (momentum regularization is often used in this work). Since such a modification is somewhat arbitrary, it is necessary to verify that the resulting large-scale predictions are, at least to a large extent, short-distance insensitive. Such a verification relies on the renormalization theory and the corresponding renormalization group (RG). In this chapter, the essential steps of a proof of the perturbative renormalizability of the scalar φ4 QFT in dimension 4 are described. All the basic difficulties of renormalization theory, based on power counting, are already present in this simple example. The elegant presentation of Callan is followed, which makes it possible to prove renormalizability and RG equations (in Callan–Symanzik's (CS) form) simultaneously. The background of the discussion is effective QFT and emergent renormalizable theory. The concept of fine tuning and the issue of triviality are emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
The social and behavioral sciences have a long-standing interest in the factors that foster selfish (or individualistic) versus altruistic (or cooperative) behavior. Since the 1960s, evolutionary biologists have also devoted considerable attention to this issue. In the last 25 years, mathematical models (reviewed in Wilson and Sober 1994) have shown that, under particular demographic conditions, natural selection can favor traits that benefit group members as a whole, even when the bearers of those traits experience reduced reproductive success relative to other members of their group. This process, often referred to as "trait group selection" (D. S. Wilson 1975) can occur when the population consists of numerous, relatively small "trait groups," defined as collections of individuals who influence one another's fitness as a result of the trait in question. For example, consider a cooperative trait such as alarm calling, which benefits only individuals near the alarm caller. A trait group would include all individuals whose fitness depends on whether or not a given individual gives an alarm call. If the cooperative trait confers sufficiently large reproductive benefits on the average group member, it can spread. This is because trait groups that happen to include a large proportion of cooperators will send out many more offspring into the population as a whole than will groups containing few, or no cooperators. Thus, even though noncooperators out reproduce cooperators within trait groups (because they experience the benefits of the presence of cooperators without incurring the costs), this advantage can be offset by differences in rates of reproduction between trait groups. Numerous models of group selection (Wilson and Sober 1994) show that whether cooperative traits can spread depends on the relative magnitude of fitness effects at these two levels of selection (within and between trait groups). In addition, there is a growing body of empirical evidence for the operation of group selection in nature (e.g., Colwell 1981; Breden and Wade 1989; Bourke and Pranks 1995; Stevens et al. 1995; Seeley 1996; Miralles et al. 1997; Brookfield 1998) and under experimental conditions (reviewed in Goodnight and Stevens 1997).

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a study on the volunteers calling system for helping the Civil Defense group from the city of Curitiba, Brazil. Traditional calling is done using computer and telephone, what takes a time officials cannot spare. Therefore, volunteers are seldom called. A new calling system based on smartphone and geolocation technology was prototyped and compared with the traditional system. Simulation of the two systems showed that, in the traditional system, it takes 1h45min for two officials to call 96 volunteers. Only one official using the new technology can perform the same task in 7min36s. The results show that the introduction of new and affordable technology can improve the work performed by Civil Defense.

In Tenth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning. Commonwealth of Learning, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56059/pcf10.7266.
Full textAbstract:
The massive shut-downs of face-to-face educational institutions occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic in the year 2020 forced most educational institutions, especially Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to inevitably switch to online distance learning (ODL) to ensure continuity of learning despite not having prepared adequately for such a switch. Busitema University located in rural Eastern Uganda is one such HEI. In Uganda, the digital gap in terms of ICT access for education is substantial with many learners unable to afford gadgets for online connectivity, low or no internet bandwidth, unaffordable internet connectivity rates, and intermittent or no power supply to run the IT gadgets. Asking such learners to follow an ODL programme was an uphill task calling for massive learner support (LS) to handhold the learners through the programme. // This paper documents how Busitema University found itself in the ODL provision conundrum and quickly realised that while LS was direly needed, conventional modes of LS like email and phone were either non-applicable or unsuitable in the present context. Using an action research design to systematically determine the best interventions and reflect on their effectiveness, the study sought to determine the best strategies for supporting under-connected learners to effectively continue their academic programmes at a distance, online. This paper demonstrates how a segmented approach that bears in mind the digital access differences among various learners, and the use of non-conventional learner support methods like peer-grouping have been instrumental in recording some acceptable level of success in the online distance learning programmes at Busitema University.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses the multi-faceted response of a Sunni-Hanafi scholar, Fethullah Gülen, to the phenomenon of violence against civilians under a religious rhetoric. Gülen’s response involves four components: (a) humanitarian, (b) religious, (c) political or realist, and (d) practical/educational. (a) Gülen categorically condemns acts of violence against innocent non-combatants including women and children as inhuman. (b) Gülen sets out the principles of Islamic jurisprudence that invalidate any declaration of war by individuals or groups: hence, such self-declared wars under the banner of Islam cannot be regarded as legitimate. He refutes ‘the end justifies the means’ argument, calling it a Marxist-Communist rhetoric, with no Islamic justification whatever. (c) While discussing misunderstanding, misrepresentation and abuse of religious texts, Gülen hints at the presence of individuals, interest groups, and other entities that benefit from friction and violent conflict. He suggests that the possibility should be considered that some individuals have been manipulated, perhaps even ‘hypnotised’ through special drugs, to carry out actions they would otherwise not carry out. (d) Gülen offers practical approaches to rooting out the problem of hate-mongering and violent conflict. The underlying dynamic of this approach is to provide, through education, mutual understanding, respect, opportunity and hope. Only educational institutions that foster inter- faith and intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and respect, and offer hope of upward mobility, can provide lasting solutions. Concepts such as ‘love of creation due to the Creator’ can be located in every culture and spiritual tradition. Gülen’s own emphasis on Islamic spirituality provides an example that is particularly significant for Muslims: his argument against terrorism and for peaceful interfaith relations is based upon the authoritative view of the Sunni tradition, to which 90% of the world’s Muslims adhere.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In Brazil, a number of names are used to refer to a stroke event, such as “spill”, “thrombosis”, and “beginning of stroke”. Objective: To analyze the attitudes (call to the emergency service and refer a hospital as the best treatment site) of individuals who identify a “stroke setting” in comparison to other terms.Design and setting: Cross-sectional study involving 1,477 individuals (36,4±14.8years, 52.5% female, 13,0±4,4 schooling years) from Brazil’s northeastern.Methods: We applied a survey to volunteers who were on public areas. The researcher exposed the volunteers to a typical case of stroke and asked “what is happening with this person?”, “what should you do in this situation” and “what is the best place to medically treat this person?”Results: 825/1477 (55.9%) answered “stroke”, 26.4% “spill”, 7.7% “infarction” and 2.6% “thrombosis”; 16.9% did not define what happened. Calling to the emergency service was the attitude of 592 (40.1%). A hospital was the best place for 75.4%. Individuals who answered “spill” were more often men (p<.001), nonwhite (p=.050), from Bahia state (p<.001) and had fewer years of education (p=.001). Individuals who answered “thrombosis” and “beginning of stroke” were older (p=.046) and of poorer education (p=.026). The answer to “what to do” and “best place for treatment” was not different among any of these groups. Conclusion: Despite demographic and regional differences in how to name a stroke event, the idea related to them is the same. Awareness campaigns should use other terms than stroke to improve the comprehension of lay population.

The objective of this research is to establish the relationship between two variables: Personality and Study Habits. The research developed is descriptive correlational. The sample was represented by 92 students of the first cycles of Chemical Engineering of a public university of the constitutional province of Callao-Peru. The study was developed with students of the courses State, Society and Human Development, Methodology of University Work and Industrial Psychology. For this purpose, two time groups were formed (01Q and 02Q), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR- A) was administered, this instrument evaluates the personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion and Psychoticism. On the other hand, Luis Vicuña's Study Habits Inventory evaluates the way students study, divided into five dimensions: How do you study, How do you do your homework, How do you prepare your exams, How do you listen to your classes and How do you accompany your study time? These are instruments that are used in the university system at an international level, they are used in the psycho-pedagogical area or for research. The results indicate a significant relationship between Personality and Study Habits. Therefore, it is demonstrated that there is a clear tendency towards the Psychoticism dimension, being very high; which is very unfavorable for a university student in this contemporary world. Likewise, it is verified that there is a considerable positive tendency towards the dimension of How do you study? There is a clear negative tendency towards the dimension of How do you do your homework? In addition, it is verified that there is a marked negative tendency towards How do you prepare your exams? which is very unfavorable for a university student. Keywords: Personality; Neuroticism; Extraversion; Psychoticism; Study habits

Full textAbstract:
At the start of the last decade, United Cities and Local Governments’ (UCLG) policy paper on Decentralised Cooperation and Local Government laid out a clear rationale for decentralised cooperation and set out recommendations to the prevalent tackle weaknesses of international development cooperation and to strengthen development effectiveness. In many ways, the paper was a forerunner in calling for stronger sustained support for South-South development cooperation particularly among countries that have undergone similar socio-economic challenges so that learnings can be shared across partners. It laid emphasis on professional structures and programme-based approaches, with clear monitoring and evaluation tools and indicators on impact and called for a sharing of objectives across local and regional governments, and their associations, committed to continuing improvement, learning and exchange. These recommendations have helped strengthen international decentralised cooperation over the past decade, and their core principles continue to be highly relevant today. In 2021, the Institute of Development Studies, UK, with support of the UCLG Capacity and Institution Building Working Group (CIB), has engaged a wide range of member governments, associations, and networks, alongside a range of external commentators and experts, to assess UCLG principles, priorities, and actions in the context of contemporary global challenges and the resulting landscape of decentralised development cooperation. Following a series of survey-based, individual, case study, and workshop interactions, the study presents key points and recommendations.
