Crowdsourcing Metadata: the Revolutionary Cataloging Interface and How it Can Help YOUR Library Expose and Promote Hidden Collections

The crowdsourcing of metadata to expose and promote hidden collections is a significant and growing development in libraries, archives and museums, and offers hitherto unparalleled mass-collaborative potential for digital humanities projects. Originating from the field of citizen science, the online Zooniverse platform has been successfully utilized for this purpose by institutions including the Imperial War Museum, the Folger and the Huntington. This session presents recently published original research1 in order to analyze and explain the automated quality control features of this major metadata crowdsourcing digital platform. The results, it is argued, are truly revolutionary. We conclude with a brief description of the ‘Project Builder’ feature which enables other institutions – and perhaps even yours – to create new experimental projects aimed at exposing hidden collections via the online crowdsourcing of robust, reliable and accurate metadata. 1 Barber, S.T.

Rethinking Images of Violence: Abounaddara and the Right to Dignity

Abounaddara is a Syrian film collective working to circumvent dominant power structures that control representations of Syrians. The manifestos of the collective call for a rethinking of contemporary attitudes surrounding images of violence and furthermore demand a universal right to dignified representation. In this thesis, I explore the main philosophies in the collective’s papers and analyze how they interact with an ongoing academic discussion about images of violence, representation, and spectatorship. I then study the Abounaddara’s films as a vehicle of expression for the group’s philosophies. Selecting nine of the group’s works, I identify recurring themes, motifs, and formats within them while considering how these strategies reflect the goals of the collective. In particular, I discuss the manifestations of rituals, the everyday, and war as a peripheral or single part of the Syrian experience. Abounaddara provides an alternate conception of this experience that escapes the constant focus on images that represent solely through the lens of violence and victimization. This thesis aims to underline the collective’s active engagement in the struggle for dignified representation while encouraging a critical reconceptualization of images of suffering and violence within the modern world.Bachelor of Art

COLLECTIVE ASSISTANCE OR COLLECTIVE NEGLIGENCE? THE EU-TURKEY STATEMENT AND THE EU’S LEGACY OF MIGRATION POLICY EXTERNALIZATION

This thesis analyzes the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement and, in particular, the ways in which externalization manifested as a primary means of coping with the Refugee Crisis. It then positions this response in context of the European Union’s historical approach toward migration policy beginning with the Barcelona Process in 1995. Specifically, I analyze the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement, the 1995 Barcelona Declaration, the 2005 Turkey National Action Plan for Adoption of the EU Acquis and subsequent 2006 Progress Report, as well as the Law on Foreigners and International Protection and its by-law the Temporary Protection Resolution. It then considers the extent to which the externalization mechanisms found in the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement were either a singular response to a particular crisis, or a long-practiced mechanism in European Union migration governance.Master of Art

Plasma Equilibrium inside Various Cross-Section Capillary Discharges

Plasma properties inside a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide were modeled with dissipative magnetohydrodynamic simulations to enable analysis of capillaries of circular and square cross-sections implying that square capillaries can be used to guide circularly-symmetric laser beams. When the quasistationary stage of the discharge is reached, the plasma and temperature in the vicinity of the capillary axis has almost the same profile for both the circular and square capillaries. The effect of cross-section on the electron beam focusing properties were studied using the simulation-derived magnetic field map. Particle tracking simulations showed only slight effects on the electron beam symmetry in the horizontal and diagonal directions for square capillary.Comment: 6 pages, 10 figure

Three-Jet Event Orientation in e+e- Annihilation: New Tests of the Standard Model

We discuss the orientation of e+e- -> q qbar g events in terms of the polar and azimuthal angles of the event plane w.r.t. the electron beam direction. We define an asymmetry of the azimuthal-angle distribution, which, along with the left-right forward-backward polar-angle asymmetry, is sensitive to parity-violating effects in three-jet events; these have yet to be explored experimentally. We have evaluated these observables at O(alpha_s) in perturbative QCD and present their dependence on longitudinal beam polarisation and c.m. energy. We also define a moments analysis in terms of the orientation angles that allows a new and more detailed test of QCD by isolating the six independent helicity cross-sections.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures in eps format.

Scaling and Asymptotic Scaling in the SU(2) Gauge Theory

We determine the critical couplings for the deconfinement phase transition in $SU(2)$ gauge theory on $N_\tau \times N_\sigma^3$ lattices with $N_\tau = 8$ and 16 and $N_\sigma$ varying between 16 and 48. A comparison with string tension data shows scaling of the ratio $T_c / \sqrt{\sigma}$ in the entire coupling regime $\beta =2.30-2.75$, while the individual quantities still exhibit large scaling violations. We find $T_c / \sqrt{\sigma}=0.69(2)$. We also discuss in detail the extrapolation of $T_c / Lambda_{\rm{\bar{M} \bar{S}}}$ and $\sqrt{\sigma} / Lambda_{\rm{\bar{M}\bar{S}}}$ to the continuum limit. Our result, which is consistent with the above ratio, is $T_c / Lambda_{\rm{\bar{M}\bar{S}}} = 1.23(11)$ and $\sqrt{\sigma} / Lambda_{\rm{\bar{M}\bar{S}}} = 1.79(12)$. We also comment upon corresponding results for $SU(3)$ gauge theory and four flavour QCD.Comment: 27 pages with 9 postscript figures included. Plain TeX file (needed macros are included).
