Erziehungswissenschaft: Wie amerikanische LehrerInnen in sozialen Medien nach Lösungen für ihre Herausforderungen suchen

Die Corona-Pandemie hat eine unumstrittene Auswirkung auf unser Zusammenleben. Auch Schulen und LehrerInnen mussten sich in kürzester Zeit auf die neuen Umstände einstellen. In diesem Kontext sind viele LehrerInnen in sozialen Medien aktiv geworden, um relevante und praxis-orientierte Informationen zu sammeln und sich untereinander auszutauschen. Es ist jedoch kaum etwas darüber bekannt, wie sich LehrerInnen in sozialen Medien verhalten und welche entsprechende Prozesse und Inhalte dabei zugrunde liegen. Dieser Beitrag adressiert dieses Manko und untersucht wie LehrerInnen auf soziale Medien zugreifen und COVID-19-relatierte Informationen austauschen. Hierzu wurden die Twitter-Profile von 97 amerikanischen LehrerInnen in den Vereinigten Staaten gesammelt und analysiert. Basierend auf sozialen Netzwerkanalysen und bibliometrischen Analysen zeigen unsere Ergebnisse, dass sich LehrerInnen verstärkt auf Twitter austauschten und sich thematisch mit relevanten Themen auseinandersetzten.
FirSt and last Mile Inter-modal mobiLity in congested urban arEas of Adrion Region

SMILE is focused on first and last mile of mobility in some variegated and paradigmatic urban areas of Adrion Region, embracing coastal, inland and bordering cities of different size (capital, middle, little). Urban areas are place where every day residents, commuters and tourists face consequences of unsustainable mobility models and lack of effective multimodal solutions:  air pollution, aggravated in many urban areas involved in SMILE by circulation of obsolete diesel vehicles, congestion and related waste of time, CO2 emission, noise, accidents, too public spaces occupied by cars. SMILE will address these issues through a logical sequence of actions and related outputs: depiction and comparison of mobility scenarios to enable policy makers and key stakeholders to better understand consequences of inaction/action; elaboration of a transnational SUMP-Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan as common cognitive umbrella under which to elaborate (or reinforce, where already initiated) local SUMPs mirroring local specific situations; to test by residents, commuters, tourists, freight and bus tourism operators some IT-Information Technology solutions (APPs/Platforms) aimed at reducing/curbing congestion,  promote intermodal solutions and make more efficient traffic flows. _x000D_
The expected change of SMILE is multilevel: firstly, to strengthen knowledge and operational capacity about mobility  of local/regional authorities; secondly, to test quick-win solutions based on IT, and hence not requiring large infrastructural investments, to promote intermodal transport.  The transnational approach is needed because it allows a comparison, exchange and share of experiences. The novelty and originality of SMILE resides in the elaboration of mobility scenarios and SUMP scheme within a transnational context and in the mix of IT solutions that will be tested. SMILE will strongly contribute to achievement of EUSAIR strategy (Pillars 2 &3: “Connecting the Region”; Sustainable Tourism”).
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MICROWAVE DEPOLYMERIZATION OF HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS

A method and apparatus is provided for the continuous microwave depolymerization of high molecular weight organic feedstock material, such as waste plastics and includes intermittent or continuous feeding of the processing material on the surface or into the bulk of the sensitized hot bed located under microwave irradiation. As a result of the interaction of electromagnetic field with processed materials, sensitizer is heated by microwave energy and feedstock material undergoes the depolymerization reactions. The reaction zone can be localized on the surface of the hot bed or distributed in the bulk of the reaction mass depending on the agitation conditions of the reaction mass, such as stirring, or other agitation means, for example by re-circulated gas. Products of the reactions are vaporized and transported to the collection system, which may include a combination of a scrubber, a condenser and a settler.
Bridging the Divide: HIV Prevention Research and Black Men Who Have Sex With Men

Objectives. We obtained contextual information regarding documented barriers to HIV clinical trial participation among Black men who have sex with men (MSM), and explored current preventive HIV clinical trial attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions among Black MSM leaders in the United States. Methods. We conducted 2 focus groups with Black MSM leaders attending an annual African American MSM Leadership Conference on HIV/AIDS. Focus group questions explored biomedical research perceptions and attitudes, barriers to participation in biomedical prevention research, and steps that need to be taken to address these barriers. A feedback and member checking (participants presented with final themes to provide feedback and guidance) session was also held at the 2012 conference. Results. Three distinct themes emerged regarding Black MSM engagement and participation in HIV vaccine research: (1) community-based organizations as true partners, (2) investment in the Black gay community, and (3) true efforts to inform and educate the community. Conclusions. A key focus for improving efforts to engage the Black MSM community in preventive HIV clinical trials is building and maintaining equitable and reciprocal partnerships among research institutions, Black-led AIDS service organizations and community-based organizations, and community members.
Hyperrealistic imaging experience

The aim of realistic digital imaging is the creation of high quality imagery, which faithfully represents the physical
environment. The ultimate goal is to create images, which are perceptually indistinguishable from a real scene. The
RealVision network brings together leading universities, centers focused on industrial development and companies in
Multimedia, Optics, Visual Communication, Visual Computing, Computer Graphics and Human Vision research across
Europe, with the aim of training a new generation of scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs that will move Europe into a
leading role in innovative hyper-realistic imaging technologies. Current imaging technologies capture only a fraction of visual
information that the human eye can see. The colours and dynamic range are inadequate for most real-world scenes and not
all depth cues required for natural 3D vision are captured. This limits the realism of the experience and has hampered the
introduction of 3D technology. Advancement in imaging technologies makes it possible to circumvent these bottlenecks in
visual systems. As a result, new visual signal-processing areas have emerged such as light fields, ultra-high definition,
highframe
rate and high dynamic range imaging. The novel combinations of those technologies can facilitate a hyper-realistic
visual experience. This will without doubt be the future frontier for new imaging systems. However there are several
technological barriers that need to be overcome as well as challenges in what are the best solutions perceptually. The goal
of this network is to combine expertise from several disciplines as engineering, computer science, physics, vision science
and psychology – usually disconnected – and train ESRs to be capable of working with all stages and aspects of visual
processing to overcome existing interdisciplinary and intersectorial barriers to efficiently develop truly perceptually better
visual imaging systems.
Modelling of generic extreme mass-ratio inspirals

Inspiralling binaries of compact objects are a promising source of gravitational waves (GWs) in the upcoming era of GW astronomy. The MoGEs project proposes to take the next step in modelling the evolution of compact binaries using the gravitational self-force (GSF) formalism. Until now, the linear-in-mass-ratio GSF has only been calculated under the simplifying assumptions of non-spinning, circular, and/or equatorial binaries. MoGEs will, for the first time, calculate linear-in-mass-ratio GSF including all effects of spin, eccentricity and inclination.

This is achieved by reconstructing the local metric perturbation produced by a particle from solutions of the Teukolsky equation, which in turn are obtained using the semi-analytical MST formalism. The regular correction to the motion of the particle is then extracted using a mode-sum regularization scheme. The applicant has previously proven this combination of methods effective in the simpler case of equatorial orbits.

Knowledge of the GSF will allow the modelling of the evolution of extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and the GWs that they generate. Accurate modelling of the latter is essential if they are to be observed by future GW observatories such as eLISA. Observation of GWs from an EMRI would yield a wealth of physical information, from precise measurements of physical characteristics of the observed system (including mass, angular momentum, and redshift) to fundamental tests of general relativity by providing an accurate map of the spacetime geometry generated by the system.

More immediately, MoGEs will capitalize on the new GSF data by combining the expertise of the applicant and the hosts at the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) to improve the effectiveness of effective-one-body (EOB) models for eccentric spinning binaries. Any such improvements can directly be deployed in the ongoing GW searches at LIGO and Virgo, that already use EOB models in their detection pipelines.
Implementing Novel Cryptography Technique in Image Encryption and Secure Data Hiding

This work proposes a Secure and authenticated discrete reversible data hiding in images deals with security and authentication. In the first phase, a content owner encrypts the original image using an encryption key. Then, a data hider may compress the least significant bits of the encrypted image using a data hiding key to create a sparse space to accommodate some additional data. With an encrypted image containing additional data, if a receiver has the data hiding key, receiver can extract the additional data though receiver does not know the image content. If the receiver has the encryption key, can decrypt the received data to obtain an image similar to the original one, but cannot extract the additional data. If the receiver has both the data hiding key and the encryption key, can extract the additional data and recover the original content without any error. In order to achieve authentication AES algorithm is being used. And also compare the efficiency using PSNR and MSE.
Weight regain and cardiometabolic effects after withdrawal of semaglutide: The <scp>STEP</scp> 1 trial extension

To explore changes in body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors after treatment withdrawal in the STEP 1 trial extension.STEP 1 (NCT03548935) randomized 1961 adults with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2 (or ≥ 27 kg/m2 with ≥ 1 weight-related co-morbidity) without diabetes to 68 weeks of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg (including 16 weeks of dose escalation) or placebo, as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention. At week 68, treatments (including lifestyle intervention) were discontinued. An off-treatment extension assessed for a further year a representative subset of participants who had completed 68 weeks of treatment. This subset comprised all eligible participants from any site in Canada, Germany and the UK, and sites in the United States and Japan with the highest main phase recruitment. All analyses in the extension were exploratory.Extension analyses included 327 participants. From week 0 to week 68, mean weight loss was 17.3% (SD: 9.3%) with semaglutide and 2.0% (SD: 6.1%) with placebo. Following treatment withdrawal, semaglutide and placebo participants regained 11.6 (SD: 7.7) and 1.9 (SD: 4.8) percentage points of lost weight, respectively, by week 120, resulting in net losses of 5.6% (SD: 8.9%) and 0.1% (SD: 5.8%), respectively, from week 0 to week 120. Cardiometabolic improvements seen from week 0 to week 68 with semaglutide reverted towards baseline at week 120 for most variables.One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss, with similar changes in cardiometabolic variables. Findings confirm the chronicity of obesity and suggest ongoing treatment is required to maintain improvements in weight and health.

Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs in mouse spinal cord development

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding, regulatory small RNAs of ∼22 nt. It was implicated that these small RNAs play critical roles in various important biological processes. During development, some miRNAs are specifically expressed in individual tissues and at particular developmental stages. Many miRNAs show distinct expression patterns in the development of central nervous system, including spinal cord. In this study, we first reported the miRNAs expression in the development of mouse spinal cord. Differentially expressed miRNAs in embryonic (day 13.5) and neonatal mice spinal cords were identified. The predicted target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were subject to gene ontology and KEGG pathway analysis, and several nervous development-related pathways were enriched, implying that these miRNAs may be involved in these pathways that regulate mouse spinal cord development.
Formation of noble metal nanoparticles through chemical reduction induced by coordination-alteration of complex ions in ionic liquids and electroanalytical application

Abstract Au, Pd, and AuPd nanoparticles (NPs) were formed in ionic liquid (IL) by coordination alteration-induced redox reaction. The different affinity between transition metal ions and anionic ligands leads to the huge redox potential change when IL anion-coordinated Fe(II) or Cu(I) ions were mixed with Cl − -coordinated Au(I) or Pd(II) ions in appropriate IL, which results in a spontaneous redox reaction accompanied with the formation of NPs without additional stabilizing reagents. By manipulating the molar ratios of Fe(II) or Cu(I) to Au(I) or Pd(II), the particle size could be changed. A new technique was developed to prepare NPs-IL-carbon paste electrodes (NPs-IL-CPEs) without the use of mortar and pestle. The electrodes were used in electrochemical analysis to prove the feasibility of the entire procedure.
Mapeamento de uma ocupação

O artigo oferece uma análise sociológica de uma experiência performativa de mapeamento no movimento Occupy Wall Street (OWS) de Nova York em 2011. Ele delineia a transformação da declaração do OWS em uma "lista de grievances [demandas-sofrimentos-queixas]" graficamente representada pela artista Rachel Schragis por meio de um processo participativo no espaço ocupado do Parque Zuccotti. Baseando-se na passagem contínua entre as ideias, o espaço tridimensional vivido e a superfície plana bidimensional da cartografia gráfica, ela demonstra as maneiras pelas quais a cartografia coletiva-performativa incorporou e transcreveu a interconexão entre o percebido, o concebido e o(s) espaço-tempo(s) vivido(s) (Lefebvre 1974, Harvey 2006) no interior do espaço ocupado do OWS.

A study on the presence of flagella in the order Rickettsiales: the case of ‘Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii’

According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, the Rickettsiales are '…bacteria with typical gram-negative cell walls and no flagella'. The recently sequenced genome of 'Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii', a divergent lineage within the order Rickettsiales capable of invading mitochondria in ixodid ticks, revealed the presence of 26 putative flagellar genes. Open questions in relation to this observation are whether these genes are expressed and whether they possess the domains expected for the flagellar function. Here we show that: (a) the putative flagellar proteins of 'Ca. M. mitochondrii' actually possess the conserved domains and structural features required for their function in a model bacterium; (b) the seven flagellar genes of 'Ca. M. mitochondrii' that have been tested are expressed at the RNA level; and (c) the putative flagellar cap gene of this bacterium (FliD) is expressed at the protein level, and can be stained within the bacterium and at its surface. Beside the specific questions that we have addressed that relate to the first evidence, to our knowledge, for a flagellar apparatus in a member of the order Rickettsiales, we present here novel tools (recombinant protein and antibodies) that will facilitate the study of 'Ca. M. mitochondrii'.
Causality relations using nonlinear data assimilation

A major problem in understanding complex nonlinear geophysical systems is to determine which processes drive which other processes, so what the causal relations are. 

Several methods to infer nonlinear causal relations exist, but often lead to different answers, often perform hypothesis testing on causality, need long stationary time series, can be misleading if an unknown process drives the processes under study, or, if a numerical model is used, reflect model causality instead of real-world causality. Furthermore methods that use the governing evolution equations directly lead to intractable high-dimensional integrals.

In this proposal I will tackle these problems by firstly embedding causality into a Bayesian framework, moving from testing causality to estimating causality strength and its uncertainty in a systematic way. Knowledge from several causality methods can be combined, new knowledge can be brought in systematically, and time series can be short.   Furthermore, new knowledge can be incorporated into the existing knowledge basis, and 
several methods can be combined in a consistent manner. Secondly, a new formulation to infer causal strength exploring evolution equations that avoids high-dimensional integrals will be explored. Thirdly, numerical models are combined with observations by exploring fully nonlinear data assimilation to study real-world causality.

I will test the new techniques on simple models and then apply them to a high-resolution model 
of the ocean area around South Africa where the Southern Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean meet.
This area plays a crucial role in the global circulation of heat and salt by bringing warm and salty Indian Ocean
water into the Atlantic in a highly turbulent manner. The techniques allow to infer what sets this interocean transport, 
the turbulent local dynamics or the global climate-related dynamics, crucial for understanding 
the functioning of the ocean in the climate system.
FPGA Based Low Area Multi-bit Adjacent Error Correcting Codec for SRAM Application

Mostly random and adjacent error correcting codes are used to protect stored data in SRAMs against multiple bit upsets (MBUs). These MBUs caused by radiation are an important issue related to the reliability of static random access memories (SRAMs). As a result, multiple adjacent bits of a memory are distorted and valuable information is lost. To mitigate these problems, multi-bit adjacent error correcting codes are preferable in SRAM. In this paper, single error correction-double error detection-double adjacent error correction (SEC-DED-DAEC) codes are proposed. The performances of the proposed SEC-DED-DAEC codes are observed in terms of area and delay. Theoretical area overhead of proposed codes is at most 49.98% lower compared to the related design. Also the proposed design has around 28.79% lesser critical path delay compared to existing design. The best improvement achieved in terms of number of look-up table (LUT) and delay are 22.69 and 29.98% respectively compared to other existing codes in FPGA platform. The proposed codes can be used in embedded SRAM applications.
Carbon smart forestry under climate change

Carbon smart forestry under climate change (CARE4C) combines high level expertise and state of the art research in the context of carbon management in forests with advanced career building qualification by teaching, training and involving ESR's . CARE4C aims at substantially expanding knowledge about carbon sink by forest growth and carbon source by forest operations in order to enable carbon smart forestry under climate change. We trace the knowledge from understanding to modelling and application, and follow a clear dissemination strategy by training and teaching, publications in scientific journals and by involving forest related stakeholders and the public. The project builds upon a consortium that was successfully established within the Marie Curie IRSES project Climate-Fit Forests. Here, the consortium is enlarged by complementary academic and non-academic partners, and the exploratory focus is extended. The study area encompasses a broad range of climatic zones from Mediterranean to sub-boreal areas providing highly different growing conditions and landscapes differently affected by climate change. By this multilevel and multidisciplinary approach we overcome the restrictions concerning the transferability of locally and case study focused results. We plan a rather high number of secondments in order to efficiently extend the interdisciplinary network and dissemination. The project connects countries where both, integrative and segregative approaches, are prevailing in forest management. The forest types of interest include pure and mixed stands as well as complex structured close to nature forests. We track climate induced impacts on carbon sequestration on cell, organ, and tree level up to stand and landscape level. For a broad spectrum of forest types and management approaches we measure and compile information about carbon sink and source, model the carbon balance, take into account economics and derive carbon smart forest management options under climate
