Subjects: MSc Thesis

description: In vielen Ländern Subsahara-Afrikas wächst die jugendliche Bevölkerung überdurchschnittlich stark und die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit ist eine grosse Herausforderung. Auch in Kenia gilt deshalb die Berufsbildung für den Übergang von der Schule in den Arbeitsmarkt als einer der Schlüssel nicht nur zur Verbesserung der Jugendbeschäftigung, sondern auch als wichtiges Element für ein  nachhaltiges und technisch innovatives Wirtschaftswachstum. Insbesondere im stark wachsenden Bausektor fehlen qualifizierte Fachkräfte. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Engagement des Privatsektors in Kenias baugewerblicher  Berufsbildung. Dieses Engagement gilt als bedeutend für die Ausbildung und Qualifizierung von Arbeitskräften mit minimalem Skills  Gap. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist das Ziel dieser Studie, das Privatsektor Engagement in der baugewerblichen Berufsbildung in Kenia zu untersuchen, und es wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Einflussfaktoren dafür bei Elektro- und Sanitätsinstallationsfirmen in der betrieblichen Ausbildung Berufslernender förderlich sind oder dieses hemmen. Für die Untersuchungen wurde die aktuelle  Fachliteratur zum Privatsektor Engagement generell und zu Kenias Berufsbildung ausgewertet. Daten von Interviews mit  Expertinnen und Experten der Berufsbildung und Unternehmenden im Bausektor wurden thematisch und unter Verwendung des  Arbeitskulturansatzes analysiert und diskutiert. Die fördernden und hemmenden Faktoren lassen sich in betriebswirtschaftliche, investive, innovationsfördernde und reputative unterteilen. Insbesondere bei den hemmenden Argumenten treten neben den Fehlinvestitionen wegen Poachings und den Kostentreibern für die Ausbildung auch die ungünstigen  Rahmenbedingungen im Spannungsfeld zwischen formeller und informeller Bauwirtschaft und in einem fragmentierten  Berufsbildungssystem in den Vordergrund. Dazu kommen eine fehlende Verantwortung für die formale Ausbildung und fehlende  soziale Verantwortung. Aber auch der offensichtliche Technologierückstand im Baugewerbe und die schwachen Berufs- und  Arbeitsorganisationen wirken sich nachteilig aus. Die Resultate dieser Arbeit sind für die Berufsbildungsforschung auch in anderen Staaten Subsahara-Afrikas von Nutzen und als unterstützende Informationen für die Ausgestaltung von Berufsbildungsprojekten in  der internationalen Zusammenarbeit hilfreich.

description: The current dropout rate in physics studies in Germany is about 60\%, with the majority of dropouts occurring in the first year. Consequently, the physics study entry phase poses a significant challenge for many students. Students' stress perceptions can provide more profound insights into the processes and challenges during that period. In a panel study featuring 67 measuring points involving up to 128 participants at each point, we investigated students' stress perceptions with the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ), identified underlying sources of stress, and assessed self-estimated workloads across two different cohorts. This examination occurred almost every week during the first semester, and for one cohort also in the second semester, yielding a total of 3,241 PSQ data points and 5,823 stressors. The PSQ data indicate a consistent stress trajectory across all three groups studied that is characterized by significant dynamics between measuring points, spanning from $M=20.1, SD=15.9$ to $M=63.6, SD=13.4$ on a scale from 0 to 100. Stress levels rise in the first weeks of the lecture, followed by stable, elevated stress levels until the exams and a relaxation phase afterward during the lecture-free time and Christmas vacation. In the first half of the lecture period, students primarily indicated the weekly exercise sheets, the physics lab course, and math courses as stressors; later on, preparation for exams and the exams themselves emerged as the most important stressors. Together with the students' self-estimated workloads that correlate with the PSQ scores, we can create a coherent picture of stress perceptions among first-year physics students, which builds the basis for supportive measures and interventions.

Auxiliary Selection in Italian Dialects: Person Split, OCls and "Raddoppiamento Fonosintattico"
Creators: name: Baldi, Benedetta
name: Savoia, Leonardo M.
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: This article addresses a classical phenomenon of Differential Subject Marking, i.e. the selection of auxiliary in the perfect in relation to person in some Central and Southern Italian dialects. In these systems be/ have as auxiliaries alternate according to person and, partially, to active, non-active or passive voice. The attested patterns vary but a tendency emerges whereby 3rd person requires have, while 1st/2nd person require be. In the passive be is associated to all persons. We aim at describing the main types of the auxiliary patterns and proposing an analysis of the morpho-syntactic mechanism underlying the distribution of be and have. We connect the be/have alternation with the syntactic representation of the event and its relation with the distinction between deictic import of 1st/2nd person and the argumental reading of 3rd person elements. A core point of our discussion is the sandhi process of Raddoppiamento Fonosintattico in auxiliary contexts that the recent literature considers a cue of the syntactic difference between passive and active voice. Finally, a comparison with the Piedmontese systems selecting be as auxiliary regardless of the verbal voice is proposed as far as they can provide further elements for deepening the syntactic nature of auxiliary selection.

description: The exponentially repulsive EXP pair potential defines a system of particles in terms of which simple liquids' quasiuniversality may be explained [A. K. Bacher et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5424 (2014); J. C. Dyre, J. Phys. Condens. Matter 28, 323001 (2016)]. This paper and its companion present a detailed simulation study of the EXP system. Here we study how structure monitored via the radial distribution function and dynamics monitored via the mean-square displacement as a function of time evolve along the system's isotherms and isochores. The focus is on the gas and liquid phases, which are distinguished pragmatically by the absence or presence of a minimum in the radial distribution function above its first maximum. An NVU-based proof of quasiuniversality is presented, and quasiuniversality is illustrated by showing that the structure of the Lennard-Jones system at four selected state points is well approximated by those of EXP pair-potential systems with the same reduced diffusion constant. The companion paper studies the EXP system's isomorphs, focusing also on the gas and liquid phases.

description: In this paper we devote our attention to a class of weighted ultrafast diffusion equations arising from the problem of quantisation for probability measures. These equations have a natural gradient flow structure in the space of probability measures endowed with the quadratic Wasserstein distance. Exploiting this structure, in particular through the so-called JKO scheme, we introduce a notion of weak solutions, prove existence, uniqueness, BV and H^1 estimates, L^1 weighted contractivity, Harnack inequalities, and exponential convergence to a steady state.

description: We show that the evolution of the number density of rich clusters of galaxies breaks the degeneracy between Omega (the mass density ratio of the universe) and sigma_{8} (the normalization of the power spectrum), sigma_{8}Omega^{0.5} \simeq 0.5, that follows from the observed present-day abundance of rich clusters. The evolution of high-mass (Coma-like) clusters is strong in Omega=1, low-sigma_{8} models (such as the standard biased CDM model with sigma_{8} \simeq 0.5), where the number density of clusters decreases by a factor of \sim 10^{3} from z = 0 to z \simeq 0.5; the same clusters show only mild evolution in low-Omega, high-sigma_{8} models, where the decrease is a factor of \sim 10. This diagnostic provides a most powerful constraint on Omega. Using observations of clusters to z \simeq 0.5-1, we find only mild evolution in the observed cluster abundance. We find Omega = 0.3 \pm 0.1 and sigma_{8} = 0.85 \pm 0.15 (for Lambda = 0 models; for Omega + Lambda = 1 models, Omega = 0.34 \pm 0.13). These results imply, if confirmed by future surveys, that we live in a low-den sity, low-bias universe.

A Syntactic Interpretation of the Applicative-Causative Syncretism
Creators: name: Franco, Ludovico
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: This paper deals with the applicative-causative syncretism, which is a pattern of morpheme polysemy attested in many different natural languages. We basically interpret the causative-applicative syncretism as based on a shared syntactic configuration. Specifically, we argue that the syncretic morpheme under investigation is the ‘applicative’ counterpart of an adpositional/case elementary relator (Manzini & Franco 2016; Franco & Manzini 2017a), attaching instrumental or benefactive obliques (High Applicatives, cf. Pylkkänen 2002, 2008) to the verbal spine. We follow Bellucci (2017), Manzini & Savoia (2018) in assuming that causees in causative constructions can be introduced as obliques, linked to the same structural position as High Appls. The causative reading of the sentence is driven by interpretive means (cf. Franco & Manzini 2017a). This readily explains the possibility of encoding causative and applicatives with the same lexical items.

description: Der zunehmende Fachkräftemangel im Gesundheitswesen betrifft auch die Bereiche der Anästhesie-, Intensiv- und Notfallpflege. Die Entwicklung eines Verständnisses darüber, wie in den drei Fachbereichen der Übergang vom Studium in die Arbeitswelt  wahrgenommen wird und welchen Einfluss dieser Prozess auf die berufliche Sozialisation und die beruflichen Zukunftsaussichten ausübt, kann dazu beitragen, dem Personalmangel entgegenzuwirken. Eine erstmalige schweizweite Untersuchung dieser  Personengruppe zielt darauf ab, die Transitionsprozesse vom Studium in den Beruf zu analysieren und den Einfluss der beruflichen
Sozialisation auf die Zukunftsabsichten frisch diplomierter Expertinnen und Experten aufzuzeigen. Dafür wurden ehemalige Studierende aus der Deutschschweiz befragt und die Daten mit einem quantitativen Forschungsdesign ausgewertet. Dabei kamen Korrelationsanalysen, Tests und eine multiple Regressionsanalyse zum Einsatz. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Ausbildungszufriedenheit und der Relevanz der erworbenen Kompetenzen mit den Outcomes der beruflichen Sozialisation auf.  Zudem werden bei den meisten der erworbenen Kompetenzen signifikante Unterschiede zwischen dem Erwerb und den  Anforderungen im Beruf festgestellt. Als zuverlässige Prädiktoren für einen langfristigen Verbleib eignen sich das berufliche Commitment und die Passung zwischen der Person und ihrer aktuellen Arbeitsstelle. Die gefundenen Resultate verdeutlichen zudem die Bedeutung einer kompetenzorientierten Ausbildung, die sowohl fachliche als auch überfachliche Kompetenzen, die Passung und das berufliche Commitment der Studierenden fördert.
Comparing Patterns of Adjectival Modification in Greek: A Diachronic Approach

Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: This paper investigates the distribution of adjectives in Ancient Greek, with the aim of comparing it to Standard Modern Greek. We use a selection of texts from Classical Attic and New Testament koiné. In Ancient Greek, like in Standard Modern Greek, all types of adjectives are allowed in prenominal position, and there is no evidence of movement of the noun over prenominal adjectives. As far as postnominal adjectives are concerned, in Classical and New Testament Greek they are systematically articulated in definite DPs, in a structure similar to the so-called polydefinite construction, that is typical of Standard Modern Greek. There is little evidence, in the texts explored, of structures of the type Article Adjective Article Noun, which are instead very common in Standard Modern Greek, and have been assumed to result from fronting the constituent [Article+Adjective] from its postnominal position. Finally, in Ancient Greek, there are cases of postnominal articulated non-adjectival modifiers of the noun, which are impossible in Standard Modern Greek. The paper explores these patterns, with particular attention to the mechanisms underlying polydefiniteness.

Scattering from Singular Potentials in Quantum Mechanics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, singular potentials in problems with spherical symmetry lead to a Schrodinger equation for stationary states with non-Fuchsian singularities both as r tends to zero and as r tends to infinity. In the sixties, an analytic approach was developed for the investigation of scattering from such potentials, with emphasis on the polydromy of the wave function in the r variable. The present paper extends those early results to an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. The Hill-type equation which leads, in principle, to the evaluation of the polydromy parameter, is obtained from the Hill equation for a two-dimensional problem by means of a simple change of variables. The asymptotic forms of the wave function as r tends to zero and as r tends to infinity are also derived. The Darboux technique of intertwining operators is then applied to obtain an algorithm that makes it possible to solve the Schrodinger equation with a singular potential containing many negative powers of r, if the exact solution with even just one term is already known.

description: In various unified extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the Yukawa couplings of the third generation are predicted to be of the same order. As a result, low energy measured mass ratios, require large ratios of the standard model Higgs vacuum expectation values, corresponding to a large value of the parameter $tanβ$. We present analytic solutions for the Yukawa couplings and the Higgs and third generation squark masses, in the case of large top and bottom Yukawa couplings. We examine regions of these Yukawas which give predictions for the top mass compatible with the present experimentally determined top mass and provide useful approximate formulae for the scalars. We discuss the implications on the Radiative Symmetry Breaking mechanism and derive constraints on the undetermined initial conditions of the scalars.

description: A multi-cavity quantization scheme is developed using quasinormal modes (QNMs) of optical cavities embedded in a homogeneous background medium for cases where retardation is significant in the inter-cavity coupling. Using quantities that can be calculated in computational optics with numerical Maxwell solvers, we extend previous QNM quantization schemes and define a quantitative measure to determine if a separate quantization of QNM cavities is justified or if a joint quantization of the system is necessary. We test this measure for the examples of two coupled one-dimensional dielectric slabs and a dimer of metal nanorods acting as QNM cavities. For sufficiently large separations, the new scheme allows for an efficient treatment of multi-cavity phenomena using parameters defined for the individual cavities. Formulating the Hamiltonian in a familiar system-bath form, the scheme connects the rigorous QNM theory and widespread phenomenological models of open cavities coupled to a shared photonic bath with parameters obtained directly from Maxwell calculations.

description: When performing cloth-related tasks, such as garment hanging, it is often important to identify and grasp certain structural regions -- a shirt's collar as opposed to its sleeve, for instance. However, due to cloth deformability, these manipulation activities, which are essential in domestic, health care, and industrial contexts, remain challenging for robots. In this paper, we focus on how to segment and grasp structural regions of clothes to enable manipulation tasks, using hanging tasks as case study. To this end, a neural network-based perception system is proposed to segment a shirt's collar from areas that represent the rest of the scene in a depth image. With a 10-minute video of a human manipulating shirts to train it, our perception system is capable of generalizing to other shirts regardless of texture as well as to other types of collared garments. A novel grasping strategy is then proposed based on the segmentation to determine grasping pose. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed grasping strategy achieves 92\%, 80\%, and 50\% grasping success rates with one folded garment, one crumpled garment and three crumpled garments, respectively.
 Our grasping strategy performs considerably better than tested baselines that do not take into account the structural nature of the garments. With the proposed region segmentation and grasping strategy, challenging garment hanging tasks are successfully implemented using an open-loop control policy.

description: We report on strongly temperature-dependent kinetics of negatively charged carrier complexes in asymmetric InAs/AlGaInAs/InP quantum dots (dashes) emitting at telecom wavelengths. The structures are highly elongated and of large volume, which results in atypical carrier confinement characteristics with $s$-$p$ shell energy splittings far below the optical phonon energy, which strongly affects the phonon-assisted relaxation. Probing the emission kinetics with time-resolved microphotoluminescence from a single dot, we observe a strongly non-monotonic temperature dependence of the charged exciton lifetime. Using a kinetic rate-equation model, we find that a relaxation side-path through the excited charged exciton triplet states may lead to such behavior. This, however, involves efficient singlet-triplet relaxation via the electron spin-flip. Thus, we interpret the results as an indirect observation of strongly enhanced electron spin relaxation without magnetic field, possibly resulting from atypical confinement characteristics.

description: We assume that the scale of the soft supersymmetry breaking masses, m_SUSY, sliding at tree level, is fixed by the minimization of the potential, but without a significant contribution of the cosmological term. Under these assumptions the electroweak breaking scale gets related to m_SUSY by a loop factor. Applied to specific models of supersymmetry breaking, this mechanism naturally gives sparticles slightly above all present accelerator bounds.

description: A knowledge of the particle escape time from the acceleration regions of many space and astrophysical sources is of critical importance in the analysis of emission signatures produced by these particles and in the determination of the acceleration and transport mechanisms at work. This paper addresses this general problem, in particular in solar flares, where in addition to scattering by turbulence, the magnetic field convergence from the acceleration region towards its boundaries also influences the particle escape. We test an (approximate) analytic relation between escape and scattering times, and the field convergence rate, based on the work of Malyshkin and Kulsrud (2001), valid for both strong and weak diffusion limits and isotropic pitch angle distribution of the injected particles, with a numerical model of particle transport. To this end, a kinetic Fokker-Planck transport model of particles is solved with a stochastic differential equation scheme assuming different initial pitch angle distributions. This approach enables further insights into the phase-space dynamics of the transport process, which would otherwise not be accessible. We find that in general the numerical results agree well with the analytic equation for the isotropic case, however, there are significant differences weak diffusion regime for non-isotopic cases, especially for distributions beamed along the magnetic field lines. The results are important in the interpretation of observations of energetic particles in solar flares, and other similar space and astrophysical acceleration sites and for the determination of acceleration-transport coefficients, commonly used in Fokker-Planck type kinetic equations.

The Beginning of the Syllable in Albanian
Creators: name: Hysa, Merita
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: Looking at the syllable as a phonological description unit, we can highlight some basic features that characterize the segments that are part of it. The beginning of the syllable boundary is seen as a possible component of the syllable which shows some of the features associated with the way the units, which build it, are organized, and this is considered as the strongest consonantal position. Speakers of a language are able to identify possible consonant phonotactic combinations that may emerge at the beginning of the syllables and they assert that not every consonant sequence can form lasting onsets. The word-initial clusters in Albanian are various which depend not only on the number of elements, but also on the possibilities of their combination, and sometimes they are regulated by phonological constraints. What is to be noted is that, with regard to the ability to emerge in an onset position, there are no restrictions on the consonants of the Albanian language which can all occupy this position, either as a component or as a branched component. The Albanian language does not show any visible limitations not only in the number of elements that emerge at the beginning of the syllable, but also in their possible combinations to create such syllabic structures.

description: Massive binary evolution models are needed to predict massive star populations in star forming galaxies, the supernova diversity, and the number and properties of gravitational wave sources. Such models are often computed using so called rapid binary evolution codes, which approximate the evolution of the binary components based on detailed single star models. However, about one third of the interacting massive binary stars undergo mass transfer during core hydrogen burning (Case A mass transfer), whose outcome is difficult to derive from single star models. Here, we use a large grid of detailed binary evolution models for primaries in the initial mass range 10 to 40 Solar masses of LMC and SMC composition, to derive analytic fits for the key quantities needed in rapid binary evolution codes, i.e., the duration of core hydrogen burning, and the resulting donor star mass. Systems with shorter orbital periods produce up to 50% lighter stripped donors and have a up to 30% larger lifetime than wider systems. We find that both quantities depend strongly on the initial binary orbital period, but that the initial mass ratio and the mass transfer efficiency of the binary have little impact on the outcome. Our results are easily parameterisable and can be used to capture the effects of Case A mass transfer more accurately in rapid binary evolution codes.

Morphological and Syntactic (non-)finiteness. A Comparison between English and Balkan Languages
Creators: name: Manzini, M. Rita
name: Roussou, Anna
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: In English, finiteness has an extremely limited realization in morphology and is almost exclusively defined in syntax. In particular, there are two main morphological forms, the stem and the stem followed by the -ed ending, which function as finite or as non-finite (infinitive, participle) depending on the syntactic context. We propose that the main split of English is aspectual and tense and mood specifications are derived by the syntactico-semantic context. Importantly, there is no necessary connection between the form that non-finite complementation takes in English and the reduced inflectional paradigm of the language. Geg Albanian and Romanian are richly inflected languages. Yet the short infinitive of Romanian coincides with the verb stem; the Geg Albanian verb stem externalizes the infinitive (paskajore) and participle. Therefore in Balkan languages as well, non-finiteness is defined by syntactic context. Specific attention is paid to the role of the subject and of prepositional introducers in disambiguating the relevant verb forms.

Some Initial Remarks on Non-Prepositional Genitives in the Apulian Variety of San Marco in Lamis
Creators: name: Massaro, Angelapia
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2019

description: This work aims at an initial description of prepositionless genitives in the Romance variety of San Marco in Lamis, spoken in the Southern Italian region of Apulia. The construction will be compared with other Romance, Semitic, Albanian, and Iranian varieties whereby the expression of possession is connected to the presence of D elements, or to morphology stemming from them. The paper deals, in particular, with the behaviour of the construction with elements such as definite and indefinite articles, demonstratives, proper names, and with how pre-nominal adjectival modification of genitives and post-nominal adjectival modification of heads can only occur in the prepositional kind of the construction. This is also the case with demonstratives preceding heads and genitives in the form raised nominals. It will be seen that genitives are only interpreted as such when they are non-raised, i.e. when they are articled. The pre-genitival article is thus understood to be a pivotal element in the interpretation of the second DP as genitival.

description: We examine the spectrum of small perturbations around global and local (gauge) abelian vortices, using simple numerical matrix techniques. The results are of interest for both cosmic strings and for their condensed matter analogues, superfluid and superconducting vortices. We tabulate the instabilities of higher winding number vortices, and find several bound states. These localised oscillations of the order parameter can be thought of as particle states trapped in the core of the string.

Understanding transient uncoupling induced synchronization through modified dynamic coupling

description: An important aspect of the recently introduced transient uncoupling scheme is that it induces synchronization for large values of coupling strength at which the coupled chaotic systems resist synchronization when continu- ously coupled. However, why this is so is an open problem. To answer this question, we recall the conventional wisdom that the eigenvalues of the Jacobian of the transverse dynamics measure whether a trajectory at a phase point is locally contracting or diverging with respect to another nearby trajectory. Subsequently, we go on to highlight a lesser appreciated fact that even when, under the corresponding linearised flow, the nearby trajectory asymptotically diverges away, its distance from the reference trajectory may still be contracting for some intermediate period. We term this phenomenon transient decay in line with the phenomenon of the transient growth. Using these facts, we show that an optimal coupling region, i.e., a region of the phase space where coupling is on, should ideally be such that at any of the constituent phase point either the maximum of the real parts of the eigenvalues is negative or the magnitude of the positive maximum is lesser than that of the negative minimum. We also invent and employ modified dynamics coupling scheme---a significant improvement over the well-known dynamic coupling scheme---as a decisive tool to justify our results.

description: Evaluating the reliability of news sources is a routine task for journalists and organizations committed to acquiring and disseminating accurate information. Recent research has shown that predicting sources' reliability represents an important first-prior step in addressing additional challenges such as fake news detection and fact-checking. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for source reliability estimation that leverages reinforcement learning strategies for estimating the reliability degree of news sources. Contrary to previous research, our proposed approach models the problem as the estimation of a reliability degree, and not a reliability label, based on how all the news media sources interact with each other on the Web. We validated the effectiveness of our method on a news media reliability dataset that is an order of magnitude larger than comparable existing datasets. Results show that the estimated reliability degrees strongly correlates with journalists-provided scores (Spearman=0.80) and can effectively predict reliability labels (macro-avg. F$_1$ score=81.05). We release our implementation and dataset, aiming to provide a valuable resource for the NLP community working on information verification.

Microvariation and Microparameters. Some Quantitative Remarks

description: This paper deals with the distribution of subject clitics in northern Italian dialects. Building on quantitative data, I argue that the observed microvariation cannot derive (only) from external linguistic factors such as contact, areal diffusion, sociolinguistic dynamics, etc. Rather, a principled feature-based analysis is needed in order to account for certain patterns of defectivity and syncretism that, although typologically rare, occur systematically in northern dialects.

description: Nanocomposites with tailored optical properties can provide a new degree of freedom for optical design. However, despite their potential these materials remain unused in bulk applications. Here we investigate the conditions under which they can be used for optical applications using Mie theory, effective medium theories, and numerical simulations based on the finite element method. We show that due to scattering different effective medium regimes have to be distinguished, and that bulk materials can only be realized in a specific parameter range. Our analysis also enables us to quantify the range of validity of different effective medium theories, and identify design rules on how the free material parameters should be adjusted for specific applications.

Spectroscopic characterisation of gravitationally lensed stars at high redshifts

description: Deep imaging of galaxy cluster fields have in recent years revealed tens of candidates for gravitationally lensed stars at redshifts $z\approx$ 1-6, and future searches are expected to reveal highly magnified stars from even earlier epochs. Multi-band photometric observations may be used to constrain the redshift, effective temperature $T_\mathrm{eff}$ and dust attenuation along the line of sight to such objects. When combined with an estimate of the likely magnification, these quantities may be converted into a constraint on the stellar luminosity and, for an adopted set of stellar evolutionary tracks, the initial stellar mass. Further characterization is, however, difficult without spectroscopic observations, which at the typical brightness levels of high-redshift lensed stars becomes extremely challenging for even the largest existing telescopes. Here, we explore what spectral features one can realistically hope to detect in lensed stars with peak brightness in the range 26-28 AB mag, $T_\mathrm{eff}=$ 4000-50 000 K and redshifts $z=$1-10, using spectroscopy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the forthcoming Extremely Large Telescope. We find that a majority of detectable lines appear in the rest UV-range for stars with $T_\mathrm{eff}\geq$15 000 K. The strongest detectable spectral lines are the C IV $λ$ 1550 Å line and the Si IV $λλ$1393, 1403 Å-doublet at $T_\mathrm{eff}=$30 000 K. For lower temperatures, the calcium H- and K-lines at $T_\mathrm{eff}=$6000 K are among the most readily detectable. In limited wavelength ranges, ELT is expected to provide more sensitive spectroscopic observations, and with higher resolution than JWST. We find that variations of both mass loss rate and metallicity lead to noticeable effects in the detectability of certain spectral lines with both JWST and ELT.
