the political insignificance of extreme weather events

tackling the climate crisis in an appropriate way making governments sign international climate agreements and letting citizens live up to them proves difficult a muchgiven explanation for this problem is the fact that many of the crisis consequences are only about to happen in a distant future complicates making them visible and tangible in the present however extreme weather events eg floods heatwaves hurricanes might have the potential to break this pattern this project investigates this potential through analyzing the political impact of extreme weather in the american dutch and austrian public spheres it will include three substudies 1 mixedmethod analyses computational and qualitative investigations of a wide variety of extreme weather events in newspapers parliamentary debates and policy documents from the three country contexts to research to what extent how and why they impact political perceptions of the climate crisis 2 a comparison of these results to analyses based on similar data and methods of the impact of terrorist events occurrences which often seem to invoke more immediate and substantial political impact than extreme weather events 3 interviews with public actors journalists politicians scientists to research the cultural and institutional opportunities and constrains they face in the noncreation of extreme weather event impact all together this project adds to two relatively underdeveloped sociological fields environmental sociology and the sociology of events on a societal level it can potentially help politicians and policy makers with how they can through their responses to extreme weather events better handle the climate crisis
a new diagnostic imaging model dim for measuring 3d surface recession as a tool for the quantification of heritage damage for the development of custom remediation strategies

we are aware that global climate change and its consequences are a pressing concern and that heritage monuments are particularly sensitive and increasingly vulnerable the comparison between photographic reports on monuments and historical copies reveals at a glance the surface transformations over short periods with severe impact on details readability m3dea offers an overarching strategy for the development of a new diagnostic imaging model dim which aims to quantify the stone recession rate in carbonate rocks by comparing highresolution 3d reconstructions obtained from the trajans column in rome 113 ad italy and those obtained from its historical replicas 16671670 18611862 19391943 and photographic reports realized during a major last century restauration work 19801990 m3dea proposes a risk assessment approach that i combines laboratory tests onsite surveys and 3d modelling to provide quantitative indicators highly representative of potential climate change effects on longtime scale based on multiscale phenomena from the current state of decay and historical climate data ii identifies the main environmental stressors and refine the doseresponse functions drfs in order to foresee future deterioration patterns with reliable simulations according to the intergovernmental panel on climate change ipcc scenarios eg to years 2050 2100 iii considers the loss of surface material in relation to a hierarchical classification of geometrical features and converts stone recession in terms of loss of details lod which will be further elaborated as to decline of future cultural value fcv with 3d visual projections iv develops a dim suitable to be implemented on a larger scale m3dea aims to raise awareness on cultural heritage vulnerability and to support custom remediation strategies for specific stone surface features and climate conditions providing a useful tool to be used in preservation plans of historical areas

algorithmic governance a public perspective

in our digitalising world algorithmic systems are widely used in public governance however evidence suggests that algorithmic governance is perceived as less legitimate compared to governance that involves humans despite wellknown deficiencies and biases in human decisionmaking perceived legitimacy of algorithmic governance increases when humans are present in some capacity socalled humansintheloop i argue that in order to explain the legitimizing effect of humansintheloop we need a theory of how legitimacy judgments are created and changed in the minds of individuals when they encounter algorithmic systems of rule to this end agapp infuses the study of political legitimacy with a theory of ecological rationality stemming from cognitive science i propose a novel legitimation heuristic model to explore the cognitive dynamics of legitimacy judgments as contextbound evaluations the empirical investigation focuses on a new european travel information and authorisation system etias etias is a paradigmatic case of algorithmic governance as it relies on big data and algorithms to perform risk profiling and implement migration policy this project collects empirical data on how individuals assess the legitimacy of etias by means of rigorous mixedmethod research design it integrates methods from humancomputerinteraction research thinkaloud protocols of participants interaction with a mockup etias interface and includes visual elicitation into focus groups and survey experiments to ensure effective treatment agapp breaks new ground as it extends the use of heuristic assessment models to legitimacy research while agapp focuses on applications of legitimation heuristics model to algorithmic governance if the model turns out to be an accurate portrayal of legitimacy judgment process it has wider implications for other governance contexts and for the study of cognition of legitimacy more broadly
critical bottomup and material geopolitics of the european union in the black sea

the russiaukraine war has elevated the geopolitical significance of the black sea the sea has become a site of military battles blockaded trade routes and environmental degradation the entanglement of this body of water with many contentious developments underscores the need for a deeper and multifaceted understanding of its role in contemporary geopolitics yet the militarystrategic analysis which dominates the academic scholarship on the black sea ignores other important geopolitical dimensions such as interests and knowledge of the local coastal communities and the materiality of the sea water in shaping geopolitical relations the project therefore aims for a critical bottomup and material geopolitical reframing of the black sea in which the body of water and its coasts remain both a central object of analysis and a key site of study of geopolitics empirically the research focuses on the black seas role in the european unions eu geopoliticization of its european neighbourhood policy enp since 2014 it investigates the black seas role in the european unions geopolitical agenda and practice methodologically the research brings different geographical scales and vantage points on the black sea geopolitics together such as the eu institutions in brussels coastal communities on the black sea and the sea itself in order to capture various elements and phases of eus practice of geopolitics from inception to implementation and finally effect and impact
in vivo immunofluorescenceoptical coherence tomography

current clinical medicine relies on mri and ct for structural imaging and immunopetspect for molecular specificity the combination of structural imaging and molecular specific imaging provides detailed information about expression of proteins and cell surface receptors in vivo in humans petctmri has become an essential component of personalized medicine however the resolution of mrict is just under a millimeter while the resolution of pet is limited to about 210 millimeters insufficient for early disease detection moreover pet is associated with radiation burden of ligands labeled with a radiotracer and can image only one labeled ligand at a timewhat is missing is the ability to image in vivo with much higher resolution and to image multiple molecular targets and molecular interactions simultaneously i propose to develop the optical equivalent of pet ctmri with a 10 to 100 fold better resolution to reach this goal i will integrate threedimensional endoscopic optical coherence tomography oct for structural information with depth resolved imaging of fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies for molecular specificity to image the hollow organs accessible by endoscopy i will develop the immunooct technology integrated with miniature motorized catheters and the multifiber detection technology for depth resolved fluorescence determination for endoscopic immunooct in catheters as small as 15 mm diameter i will focus on esophageal cancer and lung disease the proposed research has a much broader impact creating a platform to study in detail therapytissue interactions longitudinally in vivo in patients providing in vivo information approaching immunohistochemistry analysis this approach will revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a resolution approaching immunohistology at high speed over large volumes using minimally invasive technologies
