description: Objective: to report the experience of using Design Thinking as a methodological pro- posal for the development and construction of educational projects using Information and Communication Technologies by educators at the Núcleo de Educação Perma- nente do SAMU 192 – Regional Fortaleza. Methodology: this is a descriptive study, of a qualitative nature, based on an experience report of the use of Design Thinking by six service educators, from March to June 2020. The development and construction of educational projects occurred at a distance, through application for videoconfer- ences, using the inspection, ideation and implementation phases of Design Thinking. Results: the use of Design Thinking increased the group's reflective and creative po- tential, through the use of abductive thinking associated with convergent and diver- gent thoughts, which culminated in the construction of self-instructional educational material. Final Considerations: this experience allowed the group to develop work base on collaborative distance learning, in order to apply, analyze, synthesize and cre- ate products in the virtual learning environment, in order to expand the service’s ed- ucational proposals for distance education, contributing thus, for better qualification of Permanent Education in the city of Fortaleza.

description: Η επικοινωνία αποτελεί βασικό στοιχείο της λειτουργίας και διοίκησης των επιχειρήσεων. Αν και οι περισσότερες μελέτες στον συγκεκριμένο τομέα αφορούν τη λεκτική της φύση, υπάρχει αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες για τα μη λεκτικά σήματα που αποστέλλονται κατά την επικοινωνιακή διαδικασία. Τα μη λεκτικά αυτά σήματα συνιστούν τη μη λεκτική επικοινωνία, η οποία διακρίνεται σε τέσσερις διαστάσεις: την κινησιολογία, την επικοινωνία μέσω της εγγύτητας, την παραγλώσσα και την εξωτερική εμφάνιση. Καθώς τα μη λεκτικά σήματα επηρεάζουν σημαντικά το περιεχόμενο της επικοινωνίας, καθίσταται σαφής η σημασία της μη λεκτικής επικοινωνίας για την ανθρώπινη αλληλεπίδραση και, κατ’ επέκταση, τη λειτουργία των επιχειρήσεων. Δεδομένου ότι η καλή και αποτελεσματική επικοινωνία εντός των επιχειρήσεων μπορεί να συμβάλει στη δημιουργία ενός υγιούς κλίματος και στην επίτευξη των οργανωσιακών στόχων, δημιουργείται ενδιαφέρον για τον ρόλο της μη λεκτικής επικοινωνίας στις εργασιακές σχέσεις και, συνεπώς, τη συμβολή της στα οργανωσιακά αποτελέσματα. Στόχος της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να διερευνήσει τη σχέση της μη λεκτικής επικοινωνίας με την εργασιακή απόδοση, δέσμευση και ικανοποίηση του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού από την οπτική της διοίκησης.
description: Communication is a core element in the field of business operation and administration. Although most studies in this sector focus on the verbal nature of communication, there has been increasing interest over the past decades regarding non-verbal signals sent during the communication process. Such non-verbal signals constitute the concept of Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), which can be divided into four dimensions: kinesics, proxemics, paralanguage, and physical appearance. As non-verbal signals may greatly affect the substance of a message, it becomes clear that NVC is of great importance to human interaction and, therefore, business communication and operation. Provided that improved and effective communication in business may contribute to a healthy working environment and the accomplishment of organizational goals, the role of NVC in workplace relationships and organizational results becomes an issue of interest. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between NVC and job performance, work engagement, and job satisfaction from a managerial perspective.

description: Numerical and semi-analytical models are presented for photon-enhanced-thermionic-emission (PETE) devices. The models take diffusion of electrons, inhomogeneous photogeneration, and bulk and surface recombination into account. The efficiencies of PETE devices with silicon cathodes are calculated. Our model predicts significantly different electron affinity and temperature dependence for the device than the earlier model based on a rate-equation description of the cathode. We show that surface recombination can reduce the efficiency below 10% at the cathode temperature of 800 K and the concentration of 1000 suns, but operating the device at high injection levels can increase the efficiency to 15%.

description: We study the Chow ring of the boundary of the partial compactification of the universal family of principally polarized abelian varieties (ppav). We describe the subring generated by divisor classes, and compute the class of the partial compactification of the universal zero section, which turns out to lie in this subring. Our formula extends the results for the zero section of the universal uncompactified family. The partial compactification of the universal family of ppav can be thought of as the first two boundary strata in any toroidal compactification of the moduli space of ppav. Our formula provides a first step in a program to understand the Chow groups of toroidal compactifications of the moduli of ppav, especially of the perfect cone compactification, by induction on genus. By restricting to the locus of Jacobians of curves, our results extend the results of Hain on the double ramification (two-branch-point) cycle.

Ethnographic perspectives on rural women’s reproductive health decisions in Ghana : the cultural influences of gender relations, kinship and belief system
Creators: name: Yakong, Vida Nyagre

description: Ghana, one of the challenging contexts settings in sub-Saharan Africa, is a strong democratic nation and one of the area’s emerging economies, yet the country still faces poor maternal health with maternal mortality ratios at 350/100,000 live births. This statistic means that the country’s efforts to achieve Millennium Development Goal-5—the reduction of maternal mortality by 75 per cent by 2015—remains a mere dream. In this dissertation, I explore rural Ghanaian women’s perspectives on the influence of social structures—especially, kinship and gender relations, individual maternal practices, the social meaning of motherhood and cultural beliefs—on their reproductive health decisions and maternal health service utilization. Secondly, I explore rural midwives’ perspectives on providing services to women in Talensi-Nabdam district of the Upper East Region. Using ethnographic methods— participant observation, face-to- face interviews, focus groups, “deep hanging out”—I gathered data in six villages and four health clinics. Participants included 27 women of childbearing age as well as older women who provide traditional maternal health services to rural women and four midwives. My findings suggest that a complexity of socio-cultural structures and concepts, sustained gender-based violence and, an increased disproportionate gendered division of labour, affect women’s reproductive health decisions at the household level. At the level of the health care system and government, poor health care provider attitudes, over medicalization of reproduction, application of unrealistic, unsustainable and culturally inappropriate local and foreign policies, poor infrastructural development and weak social protection policies all impact women’s reproductive health decisions and access to care with profound negative implications for maternal wellbeing. I highlight not only typical issues, often taken-for-granted by many scientists, but also how these issues have extreme negative impacts on women’s wellbeing. This diverse perspective offers a better understanding of maternal health services provision and utilization that will challenge the status quo and prompt improvements in maternal health in Ghana and other Sub-Saharan African nations. I offer recommendations, as well as future research, for health care providers, policymakers, medical and nursing education and government in an effort to promote a better understanding of rural women’s reproductive health and general wellbeing.

description: Obwohl der Arbeitsmarkt boomt, bleibt das Thema Lohnungleichheit relevant. In diesem Bericht wird die Veränderung der Bruttolöhne und ihrer Verteilung zwischen 1992 und 2016 untersucht. Dabei werden neben dem realen vertraglich vereinbarten Bruttostundenlohn auch der Bruttomonats- und der Bruttojahreslohn unter die Lupe genommen. Die Ergebnisse auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass die Lohnungleichheit insgesamt zunächst zwischen 1992 und 2005 signifikant angestiegen ist und dies insbesondere bei den Monats- und Jahreslöhnen. Seitdem liegt die Lohnungleichheit für die Monats- und Jahreslöhne konstant auf dem Niveau von 2005. Die Ungleichheit bei den Stundenlöhnen sinkt seit 2014. Auch der durchschnittliche reale Bruttostundenlohn ist von 2013 bis 2016 nach einer längeren Phase der Stagnation um fünf Prozent gestiegen. Für die untersten zehn Prozent stieg er sogar um 13 Prozent, was auch mit der Einführung von Mindestlöhnen zusammenhängt. Auf niedrige Monats- und Jahreslöhne hatte dies dagegen nicht den intendierten starken Effekt.

Die Umsetzung der Quote wurde hierbei nicht über eine hohe Anzahl an Mehrfachmandatierungen erreicht. Die Hoffnung, dass die Geschlechterquote auch über die Aufsichtsräte hinaus Veränderungen mit sich bringen kann, wird zumindest in der kurzen Frist nicht erfüllt. Ein paralleler Anstieg von Frauenanteilen in Vorständen oder im Gremienvorsitz ist nicht zu beobachten. Mögliche langfristige Effekte der Quote, etwa der Abbau von Vorurteilen gegenüber Frauen in Führungspositionen, sind noch nicht abschließend zu bewerten.

description: We study the energy spectrum of the inclusive bottom-flavored mesons in top-quark decay into a charged-Higgs-boson and a massless bottom quark at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the two-Higgs-doublet model. To extract the result we work in the Zero-Mass Variable-Flavor-Number scheme(ZM-VFNs) using realistic nonperturbative fragmentation functions obtained through a global fit to $e^+e^-$ data from CERN LEP1 and SLAC SLC on the Z-boson resonance. We study both the contribution of the bottom-quark fragmentation and the gluon fragmentation to produce the bottom-flavored meson (B-Meson). We find that the contribution of the gluon leads to an appreciable reduction in decay rate at low values of the B-meson energy. It means the NLO corrections are significant.

description: In diesem Bericht wird untersucht, in welchem Umfeld die Partei Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in der Bundestagswahl 2017 gut abschnitt. Der Zuspruch für die AfD war in Wahlkreisen relativ hoch, in denen überdurchschnittlich viele Handwerksunternehmen angesiedelt, überproportional viele Erwerbstätige im verarbeitenden Gewerbe beschäftigt sind, sowie – das gilt eher für die westdeutschen Wahlkreise – die verfügbaren Haushaltseinkommen unter dem Bundesdurchschnitt liegen. Überdies wird häufig in solchen Wahlkreisen für die AfD gestimmt, in denen überdurchschnittlich viele Ältere leben. Eine Korrelation mit der Arbeitslosenquote besteht dagegen kaum. Generell schneidet die AfD in weniger verdichteten Regionen mit ungünstiger demografischer Entwicklung vergleichsweise gut ab – ein Phänomen, das in ostdeutschen Wahlkreisen häufiger auftritt als in westdeutschen. Diese Beobachtung lässt die Vermutung zu, dass die demografische Entwicklung in den weniger verdichteten Räumen auch ein Gefühl der Perspektivlosigkeit mit sich bringt, wodurch Vertrauen in etablierte Parteien zu erodieren droht.

description: We introduce a modification of the Fast Marching Algorithm, which solves the generalized eikonal equation associated to an arbitrary continuous riemannian metric, on a two or three dimensional domain. The algorithm has a logarithmic complexity in the maximum anisotropy ratio of the riemannian metric, which allows to handle extreme anisotropies for a reduced numerical cost. We prove the consistence of the algorithm, and illustrate its efficiency by numerical experiments. The algorithm relies on the computation at each grid point of a special system of coordinates: a reduced basis of the cartesian grid, with respect to the symmetric positive definite matrix encoding the desired anisotropy at this point.

description: An area metric is a (0,4)-tensor with certain symmetries on a 4-manifold that represent a non-dissipative linear electromagnetic medium. A recent result by Schuller, Witte and Wohlfarth provides a pointwise normal form theorem for such area metrics. This result is similar to the Jordan normal form theorem for (1,1)-tensors, and the result shows that any area metric belongs to one of 23 metaclasses with explicit coordinate expressions for each metaclass. In this paper we restate and prove this result for skewon-free (2,2)-tensors and show that in general, each metaclasses has three different coordinate representations, and each of metaclasses I, II, ..., VI, VII need only one coordinate representation.

description: The theoretical predictions for the subtraction constants lead to a very accurate dispersive representation of the pi pi scattering amplitude below 0.8 GeV. The extension of this representation up to the maximum energy of validity of the Roy equations (1.15 GeV) requires a more precise input at high energies. In this paper we determine the trajectories and residues of the leading Regge contributions to the pi pi amplitude (Pomeron, f and rho), using factorization, phenomenological parametrizations of the pi N and NN total cross sections at high energy and a set of sum rules which connect the high and low energy properties of pi pi scattering. We find that nonleading Regge terms are necessary in order to achieve a smooth transition from the partial waves to the Regge representation at or below 2 GeV. We obtain thus a Regge representation consistent both with the experimental information at high energies and the Roy equations for the partial waves with l =< 4. The uncertainties in our result for the Regge parameters are sizable but in the solutions of the Roy equations, these only manifest themselves above K-Kbar threshold.

Simulationen für westdeutsche langjährig versicherte Männer zeigen, dass Anreize für einen späteren Renteneintritt das Rentensystem stabilisieren können. Die Einkommensverluste sind dabei geringer als es bei einer pauschalen Senkung des Rentenniveaus der Fall wäre, die in einer alternden Gesellschaft aufgrund der Rentenanpassungsformel automatisch droht. Zudem sind auch die Wohlfahrtsverluste deutlich geringer, die neben Einkommensverlusten auch die entgangene Freizeit bei späterem Renteneintritt berücksichtigen. Dies wirft auch Fragen bezüglich der abschlagsfreien Rente mit 63 auf, falls deren Gegenfinanzierung über die Rentenanpassungsformel erfolgt. Dabei wären gerade jene Personen stark betroffen, die bei Abschlägen auf die Frührente einer Rentenkürzung noch durch eine Verschiebung ihres Renteneintritts ausweichen konnten. Allerdings ist auch bei Abschlägen darauf zu achten, dass nicht alle gleichermaßen auf solche Anreize reagieren können (zum Beispiel wegen Erwerbsminderung oder der Arbeitsmarktlage). Aus wohlfahrtstheoretischer Sicht ist daher insbesondere etwa über reduzierte Abschläge für gesundheitlich beeinträchtigte Personen nachzudenken.

description: In this paper, we consider the extreme behavior of a Gaussian random field $f(t)$ living on a compact set $T$. In particular, we are interested in tail events associated with the integral $\int_Te^{f(t)}\,dt$. We construct a (non-Gaussian) random field whose distribution can be explicitly stated. This field approximates the conditional Gaussian random field $f$ (given that $\int_Te^{f(t)}\,dt$ exceeds a large value) in total variation. Based on this approximation, we show that the tail event of $\int_Te^{f(t)}\,dt$ is asymptotically equivalent to the tail event of $\sup_Tγ(t)$ where $γ(t)$ is a Gaussian process and it is an affine function of $f(t)$ and its derivative field. In addition to the asymptotic description of the conditional field, we construct an efficient Monte Carlo estimator that runs in polynomial time of $\log b$ to compute the probability $P(\int_Te^{f(t)}\,dt>b)$ with a prescribed relative accuracy.

description: The 2⁺₂ state in ¹³²Te is identified as the one-phonon MSS in a projectile Coulomb excitation experiment presenting a firm example of a MSS in unstable, neutron rich nuclei. The results of shell-model calculations based on the low-momentum interaction Vlow−k are in good agreement with experiment demonstrating, the ability of the effective shell-model interaction to produce states of mixed symmetry character.

description: Die Mietpreisbremse ist das zentrale wohnungsmarktpolitische Projekt der vergangenen Jahre. Umso größer war die Ernüchterung, als erste empirische Studien – auch des DIW Berlin – darauf hindeuteten, dass die Mietpreisbremse den Anstieg der Mieten insgesamt nicht spürbar verlangsamt. Dieses Ergebnis hat zwar weiterhin Bestand. Allerdings zeigt die vorliegende und aufgrund ihres Untersuchungsdesigns weitaus differenziertere Studie, dass dies nicht zwingend an einer großflächigen Missachtung der Regulierung liegen muss. Vielmehr kann die Mietpreisbremse konstruktionsbedingt nur in Regionen wirken, in denen die Neuvertragsmieten zuvor um mehr als 3,9 Prozent pro Jahr gestiegen sind. War das der Fall, dämpft die Mietpreisbremse tatsächlich den Anstieg der Mieten, teilweise sinken sie sogar einmalig um bis zu 2,9 Prozent. Dennoch sollte sich die Politik nicht allein auf preisregulierende Maßnahmen verlassen. Diese bekämpfen nicht die Wohnungsknappheit. Gefragt sind vielmehr Anreize für den Bau von Wohnungen, insbesondere durch die Erschließung neuer Bauflächen. Auch könnten bestehende Gebäude aufgestockt und Hinterhöfe bebaut werden. Eine Reform der Grundsteuer wäre dabei hilfreich.

Translational visual servoing control of quadrotor helicopters
Creators: name: Kummer, Nikolai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Vision based control enables accurate positioning relative to a stationary or moving target of quadrotor helicopters independent of on-board sensor accuracy. The use of vision for helicopter control opens indoor and GPS-denied environments as an area of operation, which currently poses challenges to these systems. This thesis presents a full vision-based quadrotor helicopter controller for tracking a stationary or slow-moving target. The full controller used three control loops. The outer control loop converts an image feature error into UAV velocity commands. The quadrotor is a nonlinear system that has highly coupled position and attitude dynamics. The second loop performed a feedback linearization on these dynamics and translated the desired velocity into attitude commands. The inner loop was an on-board attitude and altitude controller, which was part of the ARDrone system and which was analyzed via frequency domain system identification for its dynamics. A linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller, consisting of a Kalman filter for state estimation and a linear quadratic regulator was used to control the linearized system. The visual servoing control scheme was image based which convergences towards the desired configuration independent of on-board sensor accuracy and in the presence of camera calibration errors. The visual servoing features, used to control the translational degrees of freedom, sphere based on the virtual sphere approach, which uses two points in 3D space to create a virtual sphere. Control of the helicopter in the x and y direction was linked to the center location of the virtual sphere and distance to the target was controlled by the virtual sphere radius. The target features were two points, detected by colour and shape based detection methods. Adaboost.MRT, a boosting method for multivariate regression is proposed as part of this thesis. Adaboost.MRT is based on Adaboost.RT and extends the original to multivariate regression, improves boosting’s noise sensitivity, and improves the singularity in the misclassification function. A variance-scaled misclassification function is proposed and the threshold parameter is expanded to accommodate vector output. The proposed method is tested on eight datasets and displays a similar or better accuracy than the original Adaboost.RT or the base learning algorithm.

The petrogenesis of the Ta-bearing Fir carbonatite system, east-central British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Chudy, Thomas Christof
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation investigates the petrogenesis of the Fir carbonatite system (Monashee Mountains of British Columbia), which is particularly interesting because of its high degree of deformation, the relatively minor presence of associated silicate rocks and its comparably high content of Ta. A detailed examination of the rock textures and microstructures shows that the two main fabrics, a primary gneissic and a secondary fine-grained, foliated fabric, are the results of plastic flow and dynamic recrystallization during deformation. The primary fabric developed under peakmetamorphic conditions and was overprinted by retrograde mylonitic shear zones. The microtextural record and the equilibration temperatures are compared to regional marbles that share the same tectonometamorphic history. Both lithologies reveal a very similar petrological record indicative of metamorphic equilibration, however, some calculated temperatures in the carbonatites (∼700 °C) exceed the peak-metamorphic conditions (620 - 650 °C), which indicates that the magmatic crystallization temperatures are preserved despite amphibolite-facies metamorphism. Apart from minor calcium and sodium amphiboles the Fir system contains predominantly the sodium-calcium amphiboles winchite and katophorite which define two major mineralogical facies. The amphiboles have high F contents (<1.6 a.p.f.u.) and show a systematic increase in the Na₂O content from the margin to center of the carbonatite. This distribution is paralleled by the Nb-Ta mineralization with ferrocolumbite in the winchite facies and pyrochlore in the katophorite facies. The two Nb-Ta-oxide minerals are stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively, which are strongly influenced by the proximity to the country rocks. The geochemical composition is characterized by low REE and LILE concentrations, elevated Ta₂O₅ contents and subchondritic Nb/Ta ratios. The observed compositional differences can be attributed to the simple mineralogy that developed by in-situ differentiation of a primary dolomitic weakly fractionated mantle melt. The key factors for the enrichment of Ta in the Fir system are the relatively high F content of the melt and the high emplacement temperatures which increased the solubility of Ta in the melt and favoured the relative late precipitation of pyrochlore leading to the accumulation of Ta₂O₅.
