Abstract:

In 1890 Robert Hart was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. Hart had sent copies of the statistical publications of the Maritime Customs Service regularly to the Society, but he himself was no statistician. He did publish one piece in the Journal of the Statistical Society of London, but this was no more than an extract of a conclusion Hart wrote to reports written by the Commissioners at China's Treaty Ports on local opium consumption. But Hart, as Inspector General of the Maritime Customs Service, bore general responsibility for its publications and involved himself deeply in its statistical projects. H. B. Morse, who would serve as Statistical Secretary, wrote: ‘while weak in the fiscal and economic field, he was a marvel in organisation and the direction of the work of others’. Within the Customs Service, it was the Statistical Secretary who had immediate responsibility for the statistical publications of the Customs. He was stationed in Shanghai, China's busiest port, rather than Beijing, where the Inspectorate had its offices close to the Zongli Yamen, the Qing agency overseeing China's relations with Western countries.

Abstract:

This article focuses on Robert Hart during the Boxer Rebellion. My reconstruction of his activities is based on a recently discovered file in the archives of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service held at the Second Historical Archives in Nanjing. While it has long been known that Hart corresponded with Qing officials during the Siege itself and while a few letters have been published, the file contains more than one hundred exchanges between Hart and Qing officials written after the end of the Siege of the Legations. I have further relied on a box of documents dealing with the Boxer Rebellion in the Hart Manuscript Collection at the Queen's University of Belfast, including Hart's notes on his meetings with Qing officials. These materials provide insight into the way Hart was able to persuade the Qing and foreign countries to begin negotiations and illustrate the critical role he played in fashioning the Boxer Protocol signed on 7 September 1901.

Abstract:

In September 2003, academics from China, Europe and the USA gathered at Queen's University Belfast. They came first to attend an exhibition and then to present and discuss papers on the career in China of Robert Hart. Largely forgotten in Britain and even Northern Ireland, although not in the academic field of Chinese Studies, Robert Hart was born in County Armagh and studied at Queen's before travelling to Hong Kong in 1854 as a young recruit to the British Consular Service for China and Japan. He soon found himself despatched to the British consulate at Ningbo to study consular procedures and learn Chinese with the aid of a Chinese tutor and one of the Confucian classics, the Mencius. At this time, much of south China was engulfed by the Taiping Rebellion, which was inspired by Christianity.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines the conflicts in writing the imperial modern history of China among various stakeholders, particularly Chinese and American historians, and their dealing with a set of personal documents of Sir Robert Hart, Inspector-General of the Chinese Maritime Customs Services (CMCS) during the Qing period. This set of documents is called “Hart Industry” and contains Hart's personal papers and seventy-seven volumes of diaries, among others. Revealing the imperial Inspector-General's view on “westernization” in modern China, the Hart Industry played a key role in the development of the history of modern China throughout the twentieth century. From around 1957 until 1995, the diaries became a source of a highly politicized academic debate between Chinese Communist historians of the People's Republic of China and western historians of the Hart Industry. By providing a “study of studies” on the historiography of the colonial modern history of China, this article argues that the Hart diaries were critical to historians’ understanding of their own academic discourse.

Abstract:

As Inspector General of the Maritime Customs Service, Robert Hart (1835–1911), born in County Armagh in Ireland, was a chief fiscal administrator of the Chinese Empire. Hart was a British citizen, yet he was employed by the Chinese government and was responsible for hundreds of Western (mostly British) and thousands of Chinese employees. His ability to straddle cultures has been noted by the historians Bruner, Fairbank and Smith who refer to a trait of cultural sensitivity that was unusual among the merchants of the treaty ports in China. The source of this cultural sensitivity is of interest and some insights can be gleaned from his Irish origins. The employment under Hart of many persons from Ireland, family and others, in the Chinese Maritime Customs (CMC) has also raised questions about nepotism and favouritism. We will see that Hart did not only favour his family but was generally well disposed to long-standing acquaintances, whether they were Irish or not. Furthermore, his Irish contacts in both Ireland and China were of advantage to him in his career and his attainment of higher social status. Our examination of Hart's network of Irish contacts and his ideas about Ireland also reveal his multi-national identity. This seemed to allow Hart to be both pro-British while also retaining a critical perspective, as might be expected by someone who by place of birth, social class and religion was not from the heart of the English establishment.

Abstract:

On 6 November 1865, Robert Hart, the 30-year-old Inspector General (I.G.) of the Imperial Maritime Customs Service, presented to his supervisors in the Zongli Yamen, the Qing Empire's new foreign office, a long memorandum critiquing Chinese administrative practices and offering suggestions for improvement. He criticized corruption and inefficiency at all levels of government, called for tax reform, greater specialization and better technical education of officials, improving contacts with the outside world, and promoting foreign methods and technology. The memorandum, written in Chinese, was entitled the ‘Bystander's View’ (juwai pangguan lun). A few months later it was submitted by the Zongli Yamen to the throne, and together with a similar tract by British diplomat Thomas Wade, distributed to senior Qing officials for comment. It had little impact at the time. But forty years later, when the Empress Dowager Cixi reportedly told the author that she wished she had followed his advice, it became a foundation stone of the mythology of Robert Hart, a symbol of the failure of the Qing court to take full advantage of the Portadown native's wisdom. Hart's premise, encapsulated in the title, was that as an outsider to the Qing system he could see problems that insiders could not. ‘The true face of Mount Lu can only be seen in its entirety by one who stands away from it.’ But the memorandum, for all of its notoriety, was uncharacteristic of Hart.

Abstract:

Abstract In this article, I reflect upon the influence that John Hart Ely’s book Democracy and Distrust can have on our discussions about the Mexican Supreme Court. For that purpose, I distinguish the Mexican Court’s role under authoritarian rule and in democracy. In the former era, Ely’s theory would not have even been considered. In the latter, the Court has adopted a substantive conception of democracy and judicial review based on authors such as Ronald Dworkin, Robert Alexy, and Luigi Ferrajoli. Moreover, in the last twelve years, the Court has developed a human rights agenda. During this time, it has interpreted human rights and economic liberties, issuing rulings that are similar to those that preoccupied Ely forty years ago (Lochner v. New York or Roe v. Wade). In this regard, Ely’s theory is useful to think about the current situation of constitutional justice in Mexico, even if we do not embrace his proposal that limits the role of the Court to procedural issues. In a country such as Mexico, where the reality of our democracy is much feebler and deep economic and social inequalities predominate, the Court is compelled to play a transformative role.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research paper has been to understand the medieval and renaissance tablature of Robert ap Huw through a comparison between Paul Dooley’s and William Taylor’s recordings of the piece Kaniad y Gwyn Bibydd from the manuscript. My text contains a short history of Robert ap Huw’s manuscript and a description of the medieval Welsh culture, in which the music was born. It is then followed by a musical analysis of the chosen piece. My work has led me to delve deep into different versions of how the tablature could be interpreted and made me understand how vast and complex this subject is.

Abstract:

The polar ice in the Arctic is melting resulting in new opportunities for the Arctic states to extracting vital resources and to find new shorter transport routes. Two of the largest actors who both presently have published polices towards the Arctic region is the EU and the US. This work firstly aims to offer a descriptive view of the EU and the US’ polices towards the Arctic region. Secondly, investigate the documents quantitatively and qualitatively to show weather the EU and US policies are featured by ‘hard power’ or ‘soft power’ by the research of Joseph S. Nye Jr. to find out if Robert Kagan’s hypotheses that the EU mainly use ‘soft power’ and that the US mainly use ‘hard power’. The findings showed that Kagan in this case was right about the EU and the use of ‘soft power’ but that the US mainly uses ‘soft power’ politics in their Arctic policy.

Abstract:

En nuestro país, considerando la falta de objetividad y las dificultades existentes en la actualidad en torno a la evaluación del grado de peligrosidad y la presencia de rasgos psicopáticos en los reclusos, se consideró necesaria la adaptación de un instrumento que posibilitara unificar criterios para el diagnóstico de este tipo de personalidades. Frente a dicha problemática, el presente estudio estuvo orientado a adaptar la Escala de Calificación de la Psicopatía Revisada (PCL-R) creada por Robert D. Hare, la cual permite evaluar con alta confiabilidad diagnóstica y pronóstica la psicopatía. Para este propósito, se sometió la versión española del cuestionario del PCL-R al criterio de jueces expertos, de modo de obtener una versión chilena. Esta fue administrada, primero, en una Aplicación Piloto, para verificar que las modificaciones propuestas por los jueces fueran comprensibles para los sujetos en estudio, que previamente se habían separado en dos grupos –los que presentaban rasgos psicopáticos y los que no– en función de evaluaciones realizadas por los profesionales del Área Técnica del C.D.P. San Miguel. Posteriormente, se realizó la Aplicación Experimental, a partir de la cual se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico de los hallazgos, que permitió obtener evidencias de validez y confiabilidad del instrumento. También, en la muestra estudiada fue posible establecer relaciones entre la psicopatía y la Reincidencia Legal, por un lado, y los Tipos de Delito, por el otro.

Ce travail de thèse a eu pour objectif de définir et mettre en oeuvre l'architecture décisionnelle d'un robot réalisant une tâche en collaboration avec un homme pour atteindre un but commun. Un certain nombre de fonctionnalités existaient déjà ou ont été développées conjointement avec ce travail au sein de l'équipe. Ce travail a d'abord consisté en l'étude puis à la formalisation des différentes capacités nécessaires. Il s'est traduit concrètement par l'approfondissement de certains des modules fonctionnels existants par l'auteur ou par d'autres membres de l'équipe en lien étroit avec l'auteur. La première contribution principale de l'auteur a consisté à développer une couche de contrôle de haut niveau qui a permis l'intégration et la mise en oeuvre des différentes capacités du robot découpée en 3 activités : la construction et la mise à jour de l'état du monde ; la gestion des buts et des plans de haut niveau ; l'exécution et le suivi des mouvements de manipulation. La deuxième contribution principale a consisté à améliorer les raisonnements géométriques et temporels pour d'abord permettre au robot de mieux suivre l'évolution de l'état du monde puis lui donner la capacité à inférer quand l'homme a des croyances distinctes de celles du robot
Goal of this thesis was to formalize and to implement a decisional layer for a robot achieving tasks collaboratively with a human to achieve a shared goal. Some functionalities were already there or were built during my own thesis by other inside the team. My first task was to study and formalize the skills needed by the robot. Consequently some of the existing functional modules were improved by some other members of the team or myself. My first main contribution was to develop a new high level control component to integrate and manage the different robot skills according to 3 main activities : state of the world build and update; goals and plans management; manipulation motions execution and monitoring. My second main contribution was to improve geometric and temporal reasoning skills so that first, the robot could better understand and track changes in the world and second, infer when the human had some beliefs about the world that were distinct from its own beliefs

Abstract:

Le contexte général des travaux de recherche de cette thèse concerne les problématiques liées à l’optimisation glob-ale liée à la conception des futurs satellites d’observation terrestre et de missions scientifiques, nécessitantune très haute stabilité en pointage (capacité du satellite à garder son point de visée). Plus particulièrement,les travaux concernent le contrôle actif des modes micro-vibratoires.Dans une mission satellitaire d’observation terrestre, la qualité des images dépend bien évidemmentdes instruments de mesure optique (diamètre du miroir, aberrations optiques et qualité du polissage)mais également des performances de la stabilité de la ligne de visée du satellite qui peut s’avérer dégradéepour cause de micro-vibrations. La présence de ces micro-vibrations est liée aux divers éléments tournantdu satellite tels que les mécanismes de rotation des panneaux solaires ou de contrôle d’orientation dusatellite (on parle de contrôle d’attitude réalisé au moyen de roues inertielles).Le contrôle des micro-vibrations représentent ainsi un défit technologique, conduisant l’ESA et les ac-teurs industriels du monde spatial, a considéré cette problématique comme hautement prioritaire pour ledéveloppement des satellites d’observation terrestre nouvelle génération.Il existe à l’heure actuelle deux principes fondamentaux de contrôle des micro-vibrations :• le contrôle dit passif: la stratégie consiste à introduire des dispositions constructives et des matériauxparticuliers permettant de minimiser la transmission des vibrations à l’environnement.• le contrôle dit actif : le concept de contrôle actif des vibrations est tout autre : l’idée est cette fois-ci,de bloquer la micro-vibration en exerçant une vibration antagoniste créée artificiellement avec despropriétés en opposition, à tout instant, relativement à la vibration indésirable, pour rendre nulleleur somme.L’industrie spatiale aborde cette problématique en plaçant des isolateurs en élastomère au voisinage dechaque source de micro-vibrations. Cette solution, qui a fait ses preuves puisqu’elle équipe actuelle-ment nombre de satellites en orbite, permet de rejeter nombre de micro-vibrations. Malheureusement,la demande de plus en plus importante de grande stabilité de la ligne de visée pour les futures missionsd’observation terrestres telles que les missions GAIA rend l’approche passive insuffisante.L’ESA et Airbus Defence and Space, ont donc collaborer conjointement avec l’équipe ARIA au travers decette thèse, dans des travaux de recherche dans le domaine du contrôle actif pour palier ces problèmes.L’objectif visé est de coupler les approches passives et actives afin de rejeter à la fois les micro-vibrations enhautes fréquences (approche passive existant) et en basses fréquences (approche active objet des travauxde la thèse)
Next generation satellite missions will have to meet extremely challenging pointing stability requirements. Even low levels of vibration can introduce enough jitter in the optical elements to cause a significant reduction in image quality. The success of these projects is therefore constrained by the ability of on-board vibration isolation and optical control techniques to keep stable the structural elements of the spacecraft in the presence of external and internal disturbances.In this context, the research work presented in this thesis combines the expertise of the European Space Agency (ESA), the industry (Airbus Defence and Space) and the IMS laboratory (laboratoire de l’Intégration du Matériau au Système) with the aim of developing new generation of robust microvibration isolation systems for future space observation missions. More precisely, the thesis presents the development of an Integrated Modeling, Control and Analysis framework in which to conduct advanced studies related to reaction wheel microvibration mitigation.The thesis builds upon the previous research conducted by Airbus Defence and Space and ESA on the use of mixed active/passive microvibration mitigation techniques and provides a complete methodology for the uncertainty modeling, robust control system design and worst-case analysis of such systems for a typical satellite observation mission. It is shown how disturbances produced by mechanical spinning devices such as reaction wheels can be significantly attenuated in order to improve the pointing stability of the spacecraft even in the presence of model uncertainty and other nonlinear phenomenon.Finally, the work introduces a new disturbance model for the multi harmonic perturbation spectrum produced by spinning reaction wheels that is suitable for both controller synthesis and worst-case analysis using modern robust control tools. This model is exploited to provide new ways of simulating the image distortions induced by such disturbances

Abstract:

The paper deals with foundation and further fortunes of the Florentine abbey of San Miniato, founded by bishop Ildebrando (1018), and discusses the grounds of the strong hostility that Vallombrosan monks demonstrated toward florentine bishops like the same Ildebrando or Pietro Mezzabarba (who 1067 founded the nunnery of San Pier Maggiore). The so-called Vita anonima of John Gualberto, discovered and published by Robert Davidsohn, is particularly hard on these bishops, but it was written around 1120 by a monk of San Salvatore di Settimo (near Florence), in order to discredit the present bishop Goffredo Alberti, brother of count Tancredi Nontigiova. The paper considers also the cases of Pistoia and Pisa, where around the end of 11th century local bishops founded the abbeys of San Michele in Forcole and San Rossore.

Abstract:

AbstractControversies about the moral and legal status of robots and of humanoid robots in particular are among the top debates in recent practical philosophy and legal theory. As robots become increasingly sophisticated, and engineers make them combine properties of tools with seemingly psychological capacities that were thought to be reserved for humans, such considerations become pressing. While some are inclined to view humanoid robots as more than just tools, discussions are dominated by a clear divide: What some find appealing, others deem appalling, i.e. “robot rights” and “legal personhood” for AI systems. Obviously, we need to organize human–robot interactions according to ethical and juridical principles that optimize benefit and minimize mutual harm. Avoiding disrespectful treatment of robots can help to preserve a normative basic ethical continuum in the behaviour of humans. This insight can contribute to inspire an “overlapping consensus” as conceptualized by John Rawls in further discussions on responsibly coordinating human/robot interactions.

Abstract:

This paper presents the development of a lower body for a full-size humanoid platform, HART (Human Assistive RoboT). The design objective of HART is to enable the robot to drive off-the-shelf vehicles in human-centered environments. To accomplish the goal, two technical design requirements which include kinematic adaptation and low-cost manufacturing are addressed and explored in this study. First, the overall hardware configuration and software control architecture of HART are presented. Then, the kinematic and dynamic specification of each joint and its design process are described. The kinematic analysis and motion planning of HART are also provided for the vehicle handling task such as control input manipulation. Last, the built platform is tested and evaluated through experimentations using two different types of ground vehicles.

Abstract:

The presence of data noise and corruptions recently invokes increasing attention on Robust Least Squares Regression (RLSR), which addresses the fundamental problem that learns reliable regression coefficients when response variables can be arbitrarily corrupted. Until now, several important challenges still cannot be handled concurrently: 1) exact recovery guarantee of regression coefficients 2) difficulty in estimating the corruption ratio parameter; and 3) scalability to massive dataset. This paper proposes a novel Robust Least squares regression algorithm via Heuristic Hard thresholding (RLHH), that concurrently addresses all the above challenges. Specifically, the algorithm alternately optimizes the regression coefficients and estimates the optimal uncorrupted set via heuristic hard thresholding without corruption ratio parameter until it converges. We also prove that our algorithm benefits from strong guarantees analogous to those of state-of-the-art methods in terms of convergence rates and recovery guarantees. We provide empirical evidence to demonstrate that the effectiveness of our new method is superior to that of existing methods in the recovery of both regression coefficients and uncorrupted sets, with very competitive efficiency.

Abstract In this paper, the development of an upper body for the full-sized humanoid, HART is presented. The main design objective of HART platform is to enable the bipedal robot to drive off-the-shelf vehicles in real world environments. Continued from the previous efforts which focused on the lower body, the same technical design requirements, kinematic adaptation and low cost manufacturing, were kept being explored for HART’s upper body building in this study. First, the control system architecture and whole body hardware configuration of the robot are presented. Then, the mechanical and electrical components of each joint and its design process are described. The kinematic analysis and motion trajectory generation are also provided for the vehicle-driving task such as steering-wheel manipulation. Last, the built platform is tested through experimentation using physical vehicles to evaluate the presented design.

Full text

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in mass school closures across the world. It is expected that the closures in low- and -middle-income countries (LMICs) will have long-term negative consequences on education and also on broader development outcomes. Countries face a number of obstacles to effectively delivering alternative forms of education. Obstacles include limited experience in facing such challenges, limited teacher digital and pedagogical capacity, and infrastructure constraints related to power and connectivity. Furthermore, inequalities in learning outcomes are expected to widen within LMICs due to the challenges of implementing alternative modes of education in remote, rural or marginalised communities. It is expected that the most marginalised children will feel the most substantial negative impacts on their learning outcomes. Educational technology (EdTech) has been identified as a possible solution to address the acute impact of school closures through its potential to provide distance education. In this light, the DFID Pakistan team requested the EdTech Hub develop a topic brief exploring the use of EdTech to support distance learning in Pakistan. Specifically, the team requested the brief explore ways to provide distance education to children in remote rural areas and urban slums. The DFID team also requested that the EdTech Hub explore the different needs of those who have previously been to school in comparison to those who have never enrolled, with reference to EdTech solutions. In order to address these questions, this brief begins with an overview of the Pakistan education landscape. The second section of the brief explores how four modes of alternative education — TV, interactive radio instruction, mobile phones and online learning — can be used to provide alternative education to marginalised groups in Pakistan. Multimodal distance-learning approaches offer the best means of providing education to heterogeneous, hard-to-reach groups. Identifying various tools that can be deployed to meet the needs of specific population segments is an important part of developing a robust distance-learning approach. With this in mind, this section highlights examples of tools that could be used in Pakistan to support a multimodal approach that reaches the most hard-to-reach learners. The third and final section synthesises the article’s findings, presenting recommendations to inform Pakistan’s COVID-19 education response.<br> <br> This topic brief is available on Google Docs.

Abstract:

This rapid review examines literature around Nature-based Solutions (NbS), what are NbS, the pros and cons of NbS, design and implementation issues (including governance, indigenous knowledge), finance and the enabling environment. The breadth of NbS and the evidence base means that this rapid review only provides a snapshot of the information available, and therefore does not consider all types of NbS, nor all sectors that they have been used in. Considering this limited scope, this report highlights many issues, some of which are that Covid-19 has highlighted the importance of NbS, Pros of NbS include the low cost compared to infrastructure alternatives; the flexibility in addressing multiple climate challenges; potential co-benefits such as better water quality, improved health, cultural benefits, biodiversity conservation. The literature also notes the cons of NbS including slow adaptation or co-benefits, very context specific making effectiveness difficult to measure and many of the benefits are non-monetary and hard to measure. The literature consulted suggest a number of knowledge gaps in the evidence base for NbS effectiveness including lack of: robust and impartial assessments of current NbS experiences; site specific knowledge of field deployment of NbS; timescales over which benefits are seen and experienced; cost-effectiveness of interventions compared to or in conjunction with alternative solutions; and integrated assessments considering broader social and ecological outcomes

Abstract:

Background. Timely discharge of hospitalized patients can prevent patient harm, improve patient satisfaction and quality of life, and reduce costs. Numerous strategies have been tested to improve the efficiency and safety of patient recovery and discharge, but hospitals continue to face challenges. Purpose. This Technical Brief aimed to identify and synthesize current knowledge and emerging concepts regarding systematic strategies that hospitals and health systems can implement to reduce length of stay (LOS), with emphasis on medically complex or vulnerable patients at high risk for prolonged LOS due to clinical, social, or economic barriers to timely discharge. Methods. We conducted a structured search for published and unpublished studies and conducted interviews with Key Informants representing vulnerable patients, hospitals, health systems, and clinicians. The interviews provided guidance on our research protocol, search strategy, and analysis. Due to the large and diverse evidence base, we limited our evaluation to systematic reviews of interventions to decrease hospital LOS for patients at potentially higher risk for delayed discharge; primary research studies were not included, and searches were restricted to reviews published since 2010. We cataloged the characteristics of relevant interventions and assessed evidence of their effectiveness. Findings. Our searches yielded 4,364 potential studies. After screening, we included 19 systematic reviews reported in 20 articles. The reviews described eight strategies for reducing LOS: discharge planning; geriatric assessment or consultation; medication management; clinical pathways; inter- or multidisciplinary care; case management; hospitalist services; and telehealth. All reviews included adult patients, and two reviews also included children. Interventions were frequently designed for older (often frail) patients or patients with chronic illness. One review included pregnant women at high risk for premature delivery. No reviews focused on factors linking patient vulnerability with social determinants of health. The reviews reported few details about hospital setting, context, or resources associated with the interventions studied. Evidence for effectiveness of interventions was generally not robust and often inconsistent—for example, we identified six reviews of discharge planning; three found no effect on LOS, two found LOS decreased, and one reported an increase. Many reviews also reported patient readmission rates and mortality but with similarly inconsistent results. Conclusions. A broad range of strategies have been employed to reduce LOS, but rigorous systematic reviews have not consistently demonstrated effectiveness within medically complex, high-risk, and vulnerable populations. Health system leaders, researchers, and policymakers must collaborate to address these needs.
