Ein Beispielansatz zur Vermittlung von digitaler Kompetenz im MINT-Lehramtsstudium
Authors: Lachmann Clarissa , Ghomi Mina , Pinkwart Niels 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungUnser Schulsystem braucht digital kompetente Lehrkräfte. Daher ist es unumgänglich, Lehramtsstudierende mit diesen Kompetenzen auszustatten. Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage danach, ob die Förderung digitaler Kompetenzen im Lehramtsstudium an deutschen Universitäten stattfindet und wie eine solche Förderung aussehen kann. Dafür wurde eine Dokumentenanalyse durchgeführt und anschließend ein Seminar zur Förderung der berufsbezogenen digitalen Kompetenzen von Lehramtsstudierenden konzipiert und evaluiert. Als Kompetenzrahmen diente dabei der Europäische Rahmen für die digitale Kompetenz von Lehrenden (Redecker, 2017). Das Seminar wurde in einem Pre-Post-Design auf seine Wirksamkeit untersucht. Alle Teilnehmenden schätzten nach Beendigung des Seminars ihre digitale Kompetenz als verbessert ein. Vermutete Effekte in Bezug auf den Einfluss des Faktors MINT-Studium auf die digitale Kompetenz konnten, auch aufgrund der kleinen Stichprobengröße, nicht festgestellt werden. Die Aussagen zur Wirksamkeit sind ebenfalls nur eingeschränkt zu betrachten, da unter den Teilnehmenden keine Anfängerinnen und Anfänger waren. Hier gilt es, weitere Untersuchungen anzustellen.
Analysis and Comparison of Two Different Sensing Techniques for In Situ Coating Thickness Measurements
Authors: Hudomalj Uroš , Fallahi Sichani Ehsan , Weiss Lukas , Nabavi Majid , Wegener Konrad 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCoating thickness is considered to be one of the most important characteristics of thermally sprayed coatings. Therefore, it has long been the goal to be able to control it. This could be achieved by implementing an online, closed-loop control. A prerequisite for such a control mechanism is a feedback signal of the coating thickness with sufficiently small measurement uncertainty. Optical distance measurement techniques have been demonstrated in the past to produce promising results for such applications. This paper analyzes the measurement uncertainty of an optical distance measurement technique based on confocal distance sensors used for in situ coating thickness evaluation. As an alternative, pneumatically actuated length gauges are also used for the in situ measurement. Both techniques are applied during atmospheric plasma spraying of samples in a carousel setup. The two sensing techniques are compared with a reference, destructive coating thickness measurement method. Pros and cons of using different in situ coating thickness measurement techniques for process control applications are discussed.
Kindergarten Children and Early Learning of Number: Embodied and Material Encounters Within the Classroom
Authors: Ferrara Francesca , Ferrari Giulia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract In this article, we draw on assemblage theory to investigate how children aged 5 engage with different material surfaces to explore ordinal and relational aspects of number. The children participate in an activity in which they first interact with a strip on the floor, then with a multi-touch iPad application, to work with numbers in expressive ways. Focus is on the physicality and materiality of the activity and the provisional ways that children, surfaces, and number come together. While the notion of assemblage helps us see how movement animates the mathematical activity, we enrich our understanding of the entanglement of children, matter, and number as sustained by coordinated movements, from which numbers emerge as relations.
Reconsidering the Tartarean Geography of theIliad: Traces of a Far-Away Tartarus and the Narrative Significance of Localisation
Authors: Gordon Joel A. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis paper argues for a novel conception of Iliadic Tartarus as a fluid liminal space which includes a superterranean context alongside its (traditionally realised) subterranean localisation. A close reading ofIliad8.477–81 reveals traces of superterranean imagery which, alongside the traditional subterranean reading of 8.13–6 and 14.198–311, allows for the identification of a fluid, dual-model of Tartarean space within the background of the poem. Further, grounded in recent developments regarding dual localisation within Homeric narrative, this paper explores how localisation can reflect narrative and/or thematic concerns, rather than exclusively denoting spatial-physical realities. Thus, the use of geographical imagery within the three Tartarean passages is examined for its narrative/thematic significance, considering themes such as the hierarchy of the gods and narrative developments such as the relocation of Zeus’ positioning within the larger cosmos. The identification of such nuances, in turn, provides a precedent for retaining ‘conflicting’ or fluid geographical space(s) within the narrative despite the ‘contradictions’ that they embody.
Pertinax and Plots in theHistoria Augusta: A Dismissal in 170 and Two Conspiracies in 193 CE
Authors: Jarvis Paul 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article examines two attempted senatorial coups against Pertinax during his brief reign in 193 CE. By examining literary and epigraphic evidence related to these coups, I argue that Pertinax's political opponents in 193 should be understood to come from a particular political and dynastic network, and that this network represents the final attempt of the connections of Lucius Verus to compete for the imperial power. Further support for this argument is adduced via an analysis of Pertinax's dismissal from a procuratorial post in 170, where there is circumstantial and prosopographical evidence to suggest opposition deriving from connections of this same network earlier in his career. I conclude by discussing how, through the analysis of these coups and similar incidents, we may gain insights into socio-political conflicts at a crisis point for the imperial aristocracy, and how they illustrate the ongoing importance of Antonine dynastic politics, ever-present but sometimes difficult to see.
Decimatio:Myth, Discipline, and Death in the Roman Republic
Authors: Taylor Michael J. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe military punishment ofdecimatio, the cudgelling by lot of one in ten men in a disgraced unit, often described as a cornerstone of Roman military discipline, was never practised during the third and second centuries BC. The punishment was possibly used as an extraordinary measure a couple of times in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. It soon fell into total desuetude but was cultivated as a rhetorical construct that proclaimed theoretical powers commanders no longer dared effect. It was only revived, or rather reinvented, during the Late Republic, a violent moment that saw the confluence of antiquarian enthusiasm with military dynasts whose unrestrained powers allowed them to manifest what had previously been an aristocratic talking point.
The topological entropy of powers on Lie groups
Authors: PATRÃO MAURO 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we address the problem of computing the topological entropy of a map
$\psi : G \to G$
, where G is a Lie group, given by some power
$\psi (g) = g^k$
, with k a positive integer. When G is abelian,
$\psi $
is an endomorphism and its topological entropy is given by
$h(\psi ) = \dim (T(G)) \log (k)$
, where
$T(G)$
is the maximal torus of G, as shown by Patrão [The topological entropy of endomorphisms of Lie groups. Israel J. Math.234 (2019), 55–80]. However, when G is not abelian,
$\psi $
is no longer an endomorphism and these previous results cannot be used. Still,
$\psi $
has some interesting symmetries, for example, it commutes with the conjugations of G. In this paper, the structure theory of Lie groups is used to show that
$h(\psi ) = \dim (T)\log (k)$
, where T is a maximal torus of G, generalizing the formula in the abelian case. In particular, the topological entropy of powers on compact Lie groups with discrete center is always positive, in contrast to what happens to endomorphisms of such groups, which always have null entropy.
On the maximum dual volume of a canonical Fano polytope
Authors: Balletti Gabriele , Kasprzyk Alexander M. , Nill Benjamin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We give an upper bound on the volume

$\operatorname {vol}(P^*)$

of a polytope

$P^*$

dual to a d-dimensional lattice polytope P with exactly one interior lattice point in each dimension d. This bound, expressed in terms of the Sylvester sequence, is sharp and achieved by the dual to a particular reflexive simplex. Our result implies a sharp upper bound on the volume of a d-dimensional reflexive polytope. Translated into toric geometry, this gives a sharp upper bound on the anti-canonical degree

$(-K_X)^d$

of a d-dimensional Fano toric variety X with at worst canonical singularities.
Minority Rights, Governing Regimes, or Secular Elites: Who Benefits from the Protection of Religious and Anti-Religious Speech by the U.S. Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights?
Authors: Carrington Nathan T. , Keck Thomas M. , Sigsworth Claire 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis paper draws on new data regarding judicial decisions involving religious and anti-religious expression to map the political beneficiaries of judicial empowerment. In particular, the paper assesses the extent to which free-expression decisions issued by the U.S. Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights have favored claimants who are religious majorities, religious minorities, or secular elites. We find the U.S. doctrine relatively more libertarian and the European Court of Human Rights doctrine relatively more secularist, but both bodies of case law extend regular and substantial rights protection to religious minorities.
A comparative transcriptome analysis of the head of 1 and 9 days old worker honeybees (Apis mellifera)
Authors: Nazemi-Rafie Javad , Fatehi Foad , Hasrak Shabnam 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe role of bees in the environment, economic, biodiversity and pharmaceutical industries is due to its social behavior, which is oriented from the brain and hypopharyngeal gland that is the center of royal jelly (RJ) production. Limited studies have been performed on the head gene expression profile at the RJ production stage. The aim of this study was to compare the gene expressions in 9 and 1-day-old (DO) honeybee workers in order to achieve better understanding about head gene expression pattern. After sequencing of RNAs, transcriptome and their networks were compared. The head expression profile undergoes various changes. 1662 gene transcripts had differential expressions which 1125 and 537 were up and down regulated, respectively, in 9_DO compared with 1_DO honey bees. The day 1th had more significant role in the expression of genes related to RJ production as major RJ protein 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9 encoding genes, but their maximum secretion occurred at day 9th. All process related to hypopharyngeal glands activities as CYP450 gene, fatty acid synthase gene, vitamin B6 metabolism and some of genes involved in fatty acid elongation and degradation process had an upward trend from 1_DO and were age-dependent. By increasing the age, the activity of pathways related to immune system increased for keeping the health of bees against the chemical compound. The expression of aromatic amino acid genes involved in Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis pathway are essential for early stage of life. In 9_DO honeybees, the energy supplying, reducing stress, protein production and export pathways have a crucial role for support the body development and the social duties. It can be stated that the activity of honeybee head is focused on energy supply instead of storage, while actively trying to improve the level of cell dynamics for increasing the immunity and reducing stress. Results of current study identified key genes of certain behaviors of honeybee workers. Deeper considering of some pathways will be evaluated in future studies.

Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate predictive factors for revision surgery in otosclerosis.MethodsThis was a retrospective, multicentre study in four tertiary centres. The primary objective was to investigate factors that were predictive of the need for revision stapes surgery.ResultsThe ‘revision’ group included 145 patients, and the ‘control’ group included 143 patients. This study identified statistically significant predictive factors for the need for revision surgery: younger age, active smoking status, dyslipidaemia and high blood pressure. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of surgical technique or stapedotomy technique.ConclusionThis study showed that patients who are candidates for primary stapes surgery with younger age, active smoking status, dyslipidaemia and high blood pressure are at higher risk of needing revision surgery. A holistic approach prior to stapes surgery with multidisciplinary assessment is recommended. These results are important for better patient counselling on expected outcomes and risks.
Debt and Mental Well-being Among Older Adults: Does Employment Status Matter? – Combining Population Inference and Target Trial Frameworks
Authors: Hiilamo Aapo 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWhile debts are widely used financial tools, few longitudinal studies investigating potential causal links between debts and mental wellbeing exist among older adults. Older adults, particularly those not employed, are less likely to have increasing incomes to help them pay off their debts. This study investigates whether older adults with non-mortgage debts in three different labour market states have lower mental wellbeing and, separately, whether it is likely that reducing their debts helps to improve mental wellbeing. Using the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, the study focuses on the English context, which is particularly interesting due to the high levels of, and a unique policy approach to, private indebtedness.The results indicate that people with debts have lower mental wellbeing (more depressive symptoms and lower quality of life) in all categories, but the mental pain linked to debts is stronger for people who are jobless (not working, not retired). The analysis from a causal perspective suggests that getting rid of debts may reduce depressive symptoms among people who are jobless but may also improve quality of life among the retired and employed. Both these findings suggest that mental health services should work closely with debt advice when needed.
Centralized Law Enforcement in Contemporary China: The Campaign to “Sweep Away Black Societies and Eradicate Evil Forces”
Authors: Yin Bo , Mou Yu 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn 2018, China's general secretary, Xi Jinping, announced a three-year war on “black societies and evil forces” and promised to take down various forms of organized crime and evil forces within society. This article examines the operational features of this particular crackdown and how they diverged from previous “strike hard” campaigns. This campaign adopted novel strategies including embedding instructions on law enforcement within criminal justice institutions, promulgating special rules on the crimes of evil forces in order to “strike” campaign targets early, and deploying intrusive investigation tactics that focused on the person and not the crime. Using democratic centralism as a liberal lens, this campaign showcases the struggle between the imperative of legality and the politics of a major campaign in China.

AbstractIntroduction:With advances in care, an increasing number of individuals with single-ventricle CHD are surviving into adulthood. Partners of individuals with chronic illness have unique experiences and challenges. The goal of this pilot qualitative research study was to explore the lived experiences of partners of individuals with single-ventricle CHD.Methods:Partners of patients ≥18 years with single-ventricle CHD were recruited and participated in Experience Group sessions and 1:1 interviews. Experience Group sessions are lightly moderated groups that bring together individuals with similar circumstances to discuss their lived experiences, centreing them as the experts. Formal inductive qualitative coding was performed to identify salient themes.Results:Six partners of patients participated. Of these, four were males and four were married; all were partners of someone of the opposite sex. Themes identified included uncertainty about their partners’ future health and mortality, becoming a lay CHD specialist, balancing multiple roles, and providing positivity and optimism. Over time, they took on a role as advocates for their partners and as repositories of medical history to help navigate the health system. Despite the uncertainties, participants described championing positivity and optimism for the future.Conclusions:In this first-of-its-kind pilot study, partners of individuals with single-ventricle CHD expressed unique challenges and experiences in their lives. There is a tacit need to design strategies to help partners cope with those challenges. Further larger-scale research is required to better understand the experiences of this unique population.

AbstractAims:Brugada syndrome is an inherited condition, which typically presents in young adults. It can also be diagnosed in children, but data in this group remain scarce. This study aims to describe the clinical features, management, and follow-up of children with personal or family history of Brugada syndrome.Methods:Retrospective study of consecutive patients with Brugada history followed up in a tertiary paediatric referral centre between 2009 and 2021. Patients were assessed according to the phenotype: positive (with variable genotype) or negative (with positive genotype).Results:Thirty patients were included (mean age at diagnosis 7 ± 6 years, 53% male). Within the positive phenotype (n = 16), 81% were male, and 88% had spontaneous type 1 ECG pattern. A genetic test was performed in 88% and was positive in 57%. Fourteen patients had a negative phenotype–positive genotype, 79% female, all diagnosed during family screening; 43% mentioned family history of sudden cardiac death. Although most of the patients were asymptomatic, the prevalence of rhythm/conduction disturbances was not negligible, particularly if a positive phenotype. No clinically significant events were reported in the negative phenotype patients. Three patients were hospitalised due to an arrhythmic cause, all in patients with a positive phenotype.Conclusion:In our study, the documentation of rhythm and conduction disturbances was not infrequent, especially in patients with a positive phenotype. Despite the significant family history, phenotype negative patients had no relevant events during follow-up. Nevertheless, the management of these patients is not clear cut, and a personalised therapeutic strategy with close follow-up is essential.
The Rif War: A forgotten war?
Authors: Daudin Pascal 
Published: December 2022

AbstractApproximately 100 years ago, a colonial conflict of great breadth began on the south side of the Mediterranean. Initially seen as an “indigenous” rebellion, the conflict evolved into an intense war, the final phase of which involved the intervention of two great colonial powers (France and Spain). Looking at the Rif War (1920–1926) in a region of what is now Morocco, then claimed by Spain, as an example, this article presents a critical analysis of a conflict rich in lessons for current humanitarian challenges and the sometimes-difficult relationship between humanitarian actors and the parties to a conflict. Assessed in the light of its human cost, which is largely forgotten today, the Rif War can feed debates through necessary historical reflection surrounding humanitarian action and the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross. It will also examine the complicated connections between historical truth, collective memory and the political difficulties inherent to reconciliation.
Water‐Insoluble Components in Rainwater in Suburban Guiyang, Southwestern China: A Potential Contributor to Dissolved Organic Carbon
Authors: Xu Yu , Dong Xin‐Ni , Xiao Hua‐Yun , He Chen , Wu Dai‐She 
Published: December 2022

AbstractDissolved organic carbon (DOC) in rainwater affects climate change and global carbon cycles. Relatively little work has focused on DOC and the remaining water‐insoluble components (WICs) simultaneously; moreover, the potential transformation of WICs to DOC remains questionable. The WICs (i.e., nonleachable particulates) were extracted from rainwater collected in suburban Guiyang (southwestern China) over a 1‐year period. Correlations of DOC with indicative parameters (e.g., potassium, calcium, and sulfate ions) showed that DOC (271 ± 152 μmol L−1) was partly derived from biomass burning, soils, and nitrate‐ and sulfate‐related secondary processes. Moreover, DOC concentration tended to increase with decreasing particulate amino acid‐based degradation index, likely suggesting that the biodegradation of WICs can enhance DOC abundance. Further, a laboratory simulation with WICs from rainwater and particulate matter (PM2.5) demonstrated the microbe‐driven rapid increase in DOC. The organic matter in rainwater was compositionally similar to that in concurrently collected PM2.5, suggesting that rainwater DOC in this area was largely controlled by in‐cloud scavenging of fine particles. This consideration was confirmed by insignificant differences in volume‐weighted DOC concentrations between forepart and posterior (cloud water with little below‐cloud scavenging effect) rainwater. Since the time for rainwater to reach the ground is fairly short, the overall results can indicate that the in‐cloud processing of WICs is a potential source of rainwater DOC. Moreover, this source contribution was estimated to be less than 2% per day. Therefore, the study provides novel insights into the carbon cycle in the atmosphere and surface ecosystems.
