the cluster and group environment as viewed by erosita

galaxy groups play a crucial role in modern cosmology by providing the key test for the predictions of models of largescale structure and galaxy formation and evolution this is because their hot gas content and thus their xray appearance is determined by the fundamental ingredient of the modern cosmological models ie the feedback of the supermassive black hole hosted by the central galaxy however differently from galaxy clusters within this general framework the predictions of the galaxy group baryonic content very vastly depend on the feedback implementation for this reason they are the ideal laboratory to provide the ultimate constraint for anchoring the simulations at present there are no observational constraints to guide the theory and to discern among the different scenarios the aim of the present proposal is to fill this fundamental gap in our understanding by characterizing the galaxy group population in terms of baryonic content from their hot gas on mpc scale to their galaxy population properties on kpc scale the main limitation to doing so thus far has been the lack of xray observations of galaxy groups due to the low sensitivities of previous surveys with clever we will overcome this by taking advantage of the unprecedented statistics and sensitivity at the group mass scale of the erosita all sky survey in the xrays in addition we will complement erosita data with upcoming 4most spectroscopic surveys of galaxy groups in the optical and with ancillary datasets that capture specific physical processes of the feedback and the central galaxy itself such as manga muse and lofar with such an ultimate dataset we will then be able to study and constrain all relevant components on all relevant scales to nail down the physics of galaxy groups and of their interaction with black hole feedback and from there of the largescale structure simulations of the universe
a transnational history of health control and hygiene onboard of liners 18941946

the covid19 pandemic that has shaken the planet since 2020 put mechanisms of globalisation to the test and shows that free movement of people and goods rests on fragile foundations a better understanding of the societal issues at stake requires a step back to the late modern period from the second half of the 19th century onwards colonial empires were at their peak with wellestablished situations of domination on trade routes steam navigation brought people closer together reducing distances and increasing chances of contagion meanwhile medical and hygienic progress made it possible if not to cure at least to better identify and contain epidemicsthis innovative project will provide a social history of health at sea during the first half of the 20th century a necessary transnational approach to break from the local case studies on a global topic in its essence the study aims at understanding how empires dealt with pandemics how sanitary control was managed onboard and wishes to explore how health management was above all a personal issue for seafarers and passengers such an overlapping of scales allows to study official sanitary regulations as well as concrete hygiene habits to compare the development of medical station and staff onboard and the implementation of new means of control health checks and passports hospital ships massive vaccinations etc shipping lines were at the forefront of progress in terms of sanitary risk managementglobal history needs anchors to remain feasible hong kong marseille and san francisco will serve as landmarks the programme is designed from an excellent knowledge of french and hong kong maritime archives and from the need to explore american material in order to propose a complete and effective approach the chosen host institution and supervisor are also the driving forces behind this research as they offer an innovative and challenging vision of imperial social and intersectional history
