description: Power tiller-driven plow tillage and crop residue exclusionary Traditional Agriculture practices are expensive, labor demanding, soil damaging, and eco-unfriendly. Over the last several years, pursuits of crop production through sustaining the productive capacity of soils, and environmental quality, have raised concern to adopt Conservation Agriculture worldwide. Single tillage combined with herbicides and crop residue retention principles of Conservation Agriculture are being developed. Between 2016–2017 and 2017–2018, a two-year on-farm experiment was done in Bangladesh. We practiced two crop establishment methods; Traditional Agriculture: Plow tillage followed by three manual weeding without residue preservation of previous crop and Conservation Agriculture: Pre-plant herbicide + single tillage + pre-emergence herbicide + post-emergence herbicide; under rice–wheat and rice–wheat–mungbean systems. Data reveal that the Conservation Agriculture was more cost-effective crop establishment technique than Traditional Agriculture in rice, wheat, and mungbean by increasing the ratio of benefit to costs by 24.3%, 35.7% and 48.8%, respectively, with a savings in tillage operations (66.3%, 58.1%, and 57.6%, respectively), weeding expenditures (59.2%, 24.5%, and 42.2%, respectively), and manpower requirements (25.1%, 27.2%, and 31.3%, respectively). This has resulted in an increase of 32% productivity of rice–wheat–mungbean systems with the yield advantage of 16%, 31% and 37% in rice, wheat and mungbean, respectively. When mungbean was added, the rice–wheat system’s productivity rose by 43%. The rice–wheat–mungbean system under Traditional Agriculture had the highest land utilization efficiency (99.45%), followed by Conservation Agriculture (92.05%), which expanded the scope to include additional crops into rice–wheat–mungbean system. Moreover, the Conservation Agriculture had a 59.7% greater production efficiency than Traditional Agriculture, where the rice–wheat–mungbean system having the highest production efficiency (53.00 kg–1 ha–1 day–1), followed by the rice–wheat system (45.57 kg–1 ha–1 day–1).

Report of 2021 physics run of the NA65/DsTau experiment
Creators: name: Toranosuke Okumura
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: ντ cross section has 50 % of systematic error, due to the lack of data on the differential production cross section Ds, the parent of ντ . Target Mover The main purpose of NA65/DsTau experiment[1] is to reduce that systematic error to 10%. We will detect Ds double decay event (Ds → τ → X) resulting from 400 GeV proton-tungsten interactions, using the beam from the CERN-SPS. This experiment will provide basic data of ντ production, which is essential for astrophysics and a test of Lepton Universality. In 2021, from 22nd September to 6th October, first physics run was performed, which detected 30% of scheduled proton interaction in DsTau experiment. In order to precisely detect the tracks, we use the emulsion detector (20 cm× 25 cm × 7.5 cm) with submicron resolution and laminated structure, which enable us to get 3D data. Contents of the detector are assembled using the special table. And after irradiation, they are disassembled, the date and id labelled, then developed. These processes are executed in the darkroom in CERN. We want to uniformly irradiate proton to the detector, so used the machine called Target Mover (TM). The detector is fixed on the stage and TM move it. But in past runs, the density of tracks are not uniform. Figure 1 is the improved TM for 2021 run, implemented ”real time speed control system”, meaning that TM move the stage at speed proportional to the intensity of the proton beam. This realize the uniformly irradiation (σ/Mean < 3.4%). This poster will report 2021 physics run.

THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF EGYPT
Creators: name: Samhan, Muhammad Hussein
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the state role in capital accumulation. The analysis focuses on the Egyptian experience under three distinct regimes: the despotic state of Mohammad Ali (1805-1849); the laissez-faire state (1882-1952); and the interventionist state (1952-1980). More specifically, this study endeavors to answer two major questions: (1) What are the determinants of the state's economic policies; and (2) what are the effects of these policies on capital accumulation?; The state's intervention in the economy, especially among underdeveloped countries, affects capital accumulation, the distribution of income and wealth, as well as the development of labor power. As Chapter Two of this study indicates, most economic development theorists--orthodox and Marxist--either neglect the role of the state in capital accumulation or conceive of it as an "instrument" or a "subject." This neglect, coupled with misconceived ideas about the nature of the state, render such theories deficient or incomplete. The method of this study, as discussed in Chapter One, is the perspective provided by the framework of historical materialism. This chapter includes an explicit methodological position drawing upon the writings of Karl Marx, Louis Althusser and Nicos Poulantzas. In analyzing the policies of the Egyptian state under three distinct regimes (Chapters Three, Four and Five) such policies were found to be determined primarily by two inter-connected factors: (1) internal class relation; and (2) foreign capital and foreign government intervention. These chapters also demonstrate how state policies affect capital accumulation by changing the conditions under which the surplus is extracted. Chapter Five, specifically, examines how the policies of the post-1952 Egyptian state created their own contraditions which, in turn, imposed limits on the state itself.
Search for new physics in double beta decay of 82Se with the CUPID-0 Background Model
Creators: name: Ressa, Alberto
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: CUPID-0 is a pilot experiment in scintillating cryogenic calorimetry for the search of neutrino-less double beta decay. 26 ZnSe crystals coupled to bolometric light detectors were operated continuously for two years. From its successful experience comes a demonstration of full alpha to beta/gamma background separation, the most stringent limit on the 82Se neutrino-less double beta decay, as well as the most precise measurement of the 82Se two-neutrino double beta decay half-life. We developed a model to constrain the contribution of several sources in a wide energy region, demonstrating that CUPID-0 reached unprecedented low levels of background in the region of interest at the Q-value of 82Se. CUPID-0 is sensitive to the spectral shape of the two-neutrino double beta decay, and it already provided evidence for its single state dominance. In this contribution we search for spectral distortions due to exotic decay modes. Through a Bayesian approach we investigate the Lorentz violation in the two-neutrino double beta decay and several conjuctured models providing the neutrino-less double beta decay with the emission of a Majoron-like particle.

description: Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Phänomenen der mündlichen Kommunikation im medial schriftlichen Rahmen des Instant Messengers WhatsApp unter besonderer Beachtung des Alters der NutzerInnen, die im Falle meiner Untersuchung aus dem akademischen Bereich stammen. Nach der Lieferung theoretischer Grundlagen erfolgt die Analyse einer Fragebogen- Untersuchung, bei der die Befragten in 3 Altersgruppen eingeteilt wurden. Anhand dieser empirischen Ergebnisse werden die vier Hypothesen beantwortet. Beachtung findet auch die Frage danach, ob die digitale Kommunikation sich negativ auf die Sprachkompetenz junger Menschen auswirkt. Hierfür werden einige Studien und deren Ergebnisse vorgestellt. Nach dem momentanen Forschungsstand kann diese Annahme nicht bestätigt werden. Die grundlegende Frage, ob junge NutzerInnen sich einer eher am Mündlichkeitspol angesiedelten Sprache bedienen als ältere, kann ebenfalls nicht in allen Fällen bestätigt werden. Es ist anzunehmen, dass durch die digitale Kommunikation die Möglichkeiten der Sprachanwendung um unterschiedliche Textsorten erweitert werden. Sowohl jüngere, als auch ältere NutzerInnen aus dem akademischen Bereich sind in der Lage zu differenzieren, welche sprachliche Ausprägung wann angemessen ist.

title: The use of Excessive Force in Riot Control: Law Enforcement and Crimes against Humanity under the Rome Statute
Creators: name: Namwase, Sylvie
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores state-sanctioned violence used as part of law enforcement in riot control with a view to determine whether the definition of crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute effectively criminalises the use of force by state actors in riot control contexts. It analyses tensions arising from criminalising the use of lethal force against a ‘civilian population’ under the Rome Statute, while recognising the responsibility of states to enforce law and order through force, including through lethal force. The study is qualitative and uses doctrinal analysis to identify definitional gaps and paradoxes within relevant laws. It uses positivist theory and the Hobbesian concept of sovereignty to illuminate how the fusion of power, law and violence perpetuate circularity around the standards regulating state use of force in riot control situations, and how this in turn hinders specificity of culpability under article 7 of the ICC Statute.
This study explores the effect of merging and applying without reflection, two prescriptive regimes; human rights and humanitarian law, within an international criminal law framework under the ICC Statute which is proscriptive and punitive. It also analyses definitional circularity under relevant national laws which are viable interpretive sources under the Rome Statute. The study concludes that article 7 is ineffective as a basis for criminalising excessive force in riot control contexts. The legal frameworks regulating use of force in these contexts, and those regulating crimes against humanity still operate in isolation and states retain a high level of discretion over the definition of national of standards of lawful force. The study argues that state parties never intended the application of crimes against humanity under the Statute to riot control contexts and that the internationalization of criminal liability for force used in internal riot situations is premature.
title: Zum zeichenhaften Gebrauch des verbotenen Buches als Transportmittel unerwünschten Gedankenguts im Film
Creators: name: Holtemayer, Romana
Year: 2019

description: Diese Master-Thesis befasst sich mit dem zeichenhaften Gebrauch und der dramaturgischen Funktion des Buchobjektes als Träger von Information im Spielfilm. Das Buch dient bereits seit Jahrhunderten als Symbol für Wissen und Bildung, es konnte seinem Besitzer Prestige und Macht verleihen. Die über dieses traditionsreiche Medium übermittelte Information wurde aber mitunter auch als unliebsam und sogar „gefährlich“ eingestuft. Zensorische Maßnahmen, die bis zur Vernichtung des Buchkörpers reichen konnten, prägten vergangene Epochen, die Bücherverbrennung als symbolischer Akt der Tilgung unerwünschter Ideen oder von der eigenen Weltsicht abweichender Gedanken findet aber auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch Anhänger. Seine singuläre Stellung als Leitmedium hat das Buch im 20. Jahrhundert eingebüßt, doch der Medienwechsel ermöglicht eine Betrachtung des alten Mediums im Spiegel neuerer Medien. Der Spielfilm steht schon sehr früh, seit seiner Entwicklung zum Erzählkino, in einer Wechselbeziehung zu Literatur und literarischem Theater. Doch erst durch den Aufstieg des Fernsehens und besonders durch den Einfluss digitaler Medien ist ab Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine intensiver werdende Beschäftigung mit der Buchkultur beziehungsweise deren drohendem Ende zu verzeichnen. Dieses Thema wird selbstreflexiv in der Literatur verarbeitet, findet seinen Weg aber auch vermehrt auf die Kinoleinwand. Im Film wird das Buch als Objekt im Kodex-Format inszeniert, selten sieht oder hört man Textpassagen, selten wird man mit dem konkreten Inhalt eines Buches konfrontiert. Seine „Rolle“ im Film ist aber immer eindeutig interpretierbar – hier sind wichtige Informationen gespeichert, Fakten, keine „fake news“. Als dramaturgischer Höhepunkt der Spielfilmhandlung fungiert häufig ein spektakulärer Bibliotheksbrand, der aber auch klärende und aufrüttelnde Wirkung haben kann. Anhand der ausgewählten Filmbeispiele aus unterschiedlichen Jahrzehnten wird die Bandbreite des Themas sichtbar, die zwischen nostalgischer Auratisierung der Buchkultur und der Realisierung des bereits vollzogenen Medienwandels schwankt. Gemeinsam ist allen Inszenierungen jedenfalls, dass Büchern und dem durch sie transportierten Wissen große Macht über den Menschen zugeschrieben wird.

The Monument Experiment; Ordinary Muon Capture to probe 0νββ-decay Nuclear Matrix Elements
Creators: name: Mondragon, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Extracting particle physics properties from neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay, requires a detailed understanding of the involved nuclear structures. Still, modern calculations of the corresponding nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) differ by factors 2-3. The high momentum transfer of Ordinary Muon Capture (OMC) provides insight into highly excited states similar to those that contribute virtually to 0νββ transitions. The precise study of the γ's following the OMC process, makes this a promising tool to validate NME calculations, and test the quenching of the axial vector coupling gA. The MONUMENT collaboration is performing a series of explorative OMC measurements involving typical ββ-decay daughter isotopes such as 76Se and 136Ba, as well as other benchmark isotopes. In this poster the experiment carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute and first results from the beam-time in 2021
 will be presented. This research is supported by the DFG Grant: 448829699 and RFBR-DFG with project number: 21-52-12040.

description: Abstract
This paper looks at the role of the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) in its examination of regional trade agreements (RTAs) between 1996 and 2010. The rapid proliferation of RTAs led to concerns about the weakening of the multilateral trading system (MTS); it was feared that the rapid growth in the number of bilateral and regional trade agreements (RTAs), such as free trade areas (FTAs) and custom unions (CUs) could pose substantial threats to the multilateral trade system (MTS). This fear led to the creation of the CRTA by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in February 1996, for the examination of RTAs to ascertain their compatibility to the MTS and their conformity to WTO rules. Furthermore, this paper also explores the legal and systemic difficulties faced by the CRTA in the execution of its mandated duties.  Nonetheless, the rapid proliferation of RTAs intensified the debate on the merits of RTAs to the MTS, this study, is also a contribution to that debate - the trade creation and trade diversion effects of RTAs, by showing how RTAs could displace trade with non-member nations, while at the same time boosting trade among its own members. Under the auspices of the WTO, as a general rule, the CRTA was to devote a single formal meeting for the consideration of each and every RTA notified to the WTO, formed under the provisions of the general agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT) Article XXIV and the general agreement on trade in (GATS) Article V. The focus of this paper is the role of the CRTA in its examination of RTAs created under the legal provisions and interpretation of GATT Article XXIV and GATS Article V.

title: Brownfield-inspired green infrastructure: a new approach to urban biodiversity conservation
Creators: name: Nash, Caroline
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: Brownfield sites can support nationally and internationally important biodiversity that is being lost from the broader landscape. This research was undertaken in response to the need for targeted solutions to compensate for the loss of brownfield habitat mosaics to development. The research investigated innovative approaches to urban green infrastructure (UGI) design, based on ecomimicry of brownfield habitat mosaics. The aim being to support new developments in meeting sustainability goals in terms of no net loss of biodiversity. 

The research comprised three main studies: an experimental investigation of the feasibility of creating novel wetland habitat mosaics on extensive green roofs (EGRs); a niche study of a novel biosolar brownfield roof; and an innovative brownfield landscaping experiment. Surveys of plant and invertebrate communities were undertaken to explore community development, and evaluate the effectiveness of the brownfield mosaic ecomimicry approach to UGI design. Elements of the research were co-created with a developer to facilitate knowledge sharing.

The novel drainage EGR design successfully created ephemeral pools, and substrate heterogeneity produced a vegetation mosaic. Invertebrates recorded on the roofs included key conservation priority species, and important brownfield assemblages, but a limited representation of wetland species. This novel design could augment existing EGR typologies. The biosolar brownfield roof study demonstrated that PV panels influenced vegetation development, and that PV ‘edge’ zones were more diverse, contributing to creation of a habitat mosaic. Invertebrates groups responded differently to PV presence. Nonetheless the roof provided resources for several target endangered species. The experimental brownfield landscaping supported key conservation priority brownfield species and assemblages, and a much richer plant and invertebrate community than traditional landscaping.

The results validated the ecomimicry approach as a framework for UGI design, and the innovative measures investigated could make a valuable contribution to compensating for brownfield habitat loss in the region.

Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: The literature on providing an evidence base for clinicians to deliver culturally appropriate services appears to be responding to the changing demographics in the United Kingdom (UK) but appears slow to respond to the gradually changing demographic of the profession. The research on ethnic minority status is largely focused on clients with the assumption that the therapist is White (Iwamasa, 1996). Literature exploring the experiences and issues of ethnic minority therapists emerged in the United States of America (US) before being explored in the UK. Even today, a large chunk of the literature is produced in the US and more so from the counselling and psychotherapy disciplines.
This qualitative study explores the practice of clinical psychologists who identify as British Asian, when working with ethnically similar and different clients. Ten clinical psychologists were interviewed about therapeutic interactions where they encountered ethnicity and culture. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the interviews of the participants who self-identified as British Asian. Three dominant themes emerged from the analysis: Addressing culture and ethnicity in therapy, challenges in the room and dilemmas in the profession.
Findings revealed that culture and ethnicity were not central to all therapeutic interactions. However, when ethnic and cultural differences were present, participants responded in various ways to the issues they faced in the therapy room and dilemmas they encountered in the profession. There were varying levels of comfort in having conversations about culture and ethnic differences in therapy as well as with colleagues, indicating a need for appropriate training of all clinical psychologists in working with culture and ethnicity. The role of supervision was also highlighted in helping clinical psychologists to enable reflecting on the impact of their own culture and ethnicity on practice.

description: Ethiopia is one of the most populated countries in Africa. Agriculture employs over 70% of the population. It is dominated by small-scale farmers who practice rain-fed mixed farming by using traditional technology, adopting a low input and low output production system. As a result, it is vulnerable to adverse weather conditions. Cereal crops provide food for majority Ethiopians, so most agricultural transformation plans prioritize increasing cereal crop productivity. However, about five million people experience food insecurity each year and require support. Population growth, environmental degradation, conflict, and climate change are the most serious threats to nation’s food security. In a time when the food supply cannot keep up with population expansion, there is a need for holistic solutions to development-related issues such as food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. Despite Ethiopia being a center of origin and diversity for several food crops, the potential benefits of underutilized indigenous crops are yet not exploited. However, they can play a significant part in human nutrition, income, and medicinal value. As a result, crop diversification may be the best choice for achieving household food security. One way to help nation’s food systems diversify is to include more orphan crops. Even though a small portion of the country’s land is dedicated to underused crops, more than 20% of the population relies on them for food. Orphan crops, such as enset, which can feed 100 million people, can help to attain food security in Ethiopia. As a result, promoting and researching these crops is the most sustainable strategy for lowering and managing poverty and food insecurity in Ethiopia.

description: In dieser Arbeit Der Hofnarr und sein König – Narren im Mittelalter und der Frühen Neuzeit soll ermittelt werden, ob Hofnarren im Mittelalter und der Frühen Neuzeit mit einer Redefreiheit am Hof ausgestattet waren, welche Symbole der Darstellung von Narren in der Kunst und Literatur im Umlauf waren und inwiefern der Umgang mit ge-brechlichen, auffälligen Personen, die als Narren bezeichnet wurden, mit der christli-chen Heilslehre in der mittelalter Welt im Konflikt stand. Untersucht werden daher die begriffliche Abgrenzung zwischen den Termini Narr und Hofnarr, sowie auch zwischen natürlichen und künstlichen Narren. Des Weiteren wer-den Narrenattribute wie Narrenkolben, Narrengewand, Narrenkappe auf ihre Herkunft behandelt. Sowohl die Idee der Narrenfeste mit der Unterscheidung zwischen Karne-val, Fastnacht und Fasching als auch der Umgang mit psychischen Erkrankungen anhand historischer Quellen von Konrad von Megenberg und Paracelsus wird einge-gangen. Moralische Bedenken aufgrund einer vorgeworfenen Gottlosigkeit des Narren, aber auch eine gesellschaftliche Kritik im Narrenschiff von Sebastian Brant, sollen in dieser Abhandlung hinsichtlich ihres historischen Kontextes analysiert werden. Durch Bio-graphien diverser Hofnarren wie Claus von Ranstedt, Kunz von der Rosen, Gonella, Triboulet oder Brusquet, aber auch durch die Chroniken von Zimmern soll der Um-gang mit Narren und ihre Rezeption in der Kulturwissenschaft ermittelt werden. Die wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der Narrenfreiheit im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Duldung und Privileg am Hof, sowie auch die Beziehung zwischen Herrscher und Nar-ren, ist die wesentliche Auseinandersetzung der vorliegenden Arbeit.

description: It became paramount for resilient cities to
mitigate negative effects of climate change
such as extreme weather, heat waves or
flooding. Implementation of green roofs in
urban regions could help to improve local
microclimate through evapotranspirationfrom green roof surfaces and vegetation,
and mitigate flood risk by providing
additional storage for stormwater surface
runoff. This research investigates the
sustainable design of green roofs using
conventional and alternative materials, in
relation to their hydrological performance
under UK climatic conditions. The
assessment of the hydrological performance
of green roofs was performed by means of
laboratory-based and in-situ experiments.
This research has identified and selected the
alternative materials, suitable for the use in
extensive green roof systems. Subsequently,
the properties of these materials were
assessed using appropriate British Standards,
showing that properties-based, as opposed
to type-based, selection of the materials is of
high importance to the sustainable green
roof design. The in-situ experiment
demonstrated high retention performance
across eight green roof designs with median
retention above 99% and cumulative
retention for the entire monitoring period of
4 years ranging from 61.5% to 77.9%. The
highest retention was recorded for the green
roof design of the deepest substrate
(100mm) and drainage layer (40mm). Green
roofs investigated in the laboratory under
extreme rainfall events demonstrated much
lower hydrological performance (6% - 11.5%
of median retention) than these assessed insitu.
However, their maximum retention
capacity ranged from 61% to 78%, given
specific conditions such as long inter-event
dry period prior to the extreme rainfalls. The
green roofs made of alternative materials
performed as well as or better than the
conventional green roofs in regards to
retention. The preliminary multiple linear
regression models confirmed the significance of the rainfall depth and
temperature in predicting runoff depth and
retention as well as porosity of the substrate
material and water absorption of drainage
layer material. These models could be the
basis for further development of tools for
accurate prediction of green roof responses
to rainfall events in order to assist green roof
designers, standardisation bodies, specifiers,
manufacturers, and contractors.

Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the state role in capital accumulation. The analysis focuses on the Egyptian experience under three distinct regimes: the despotic state of Mohammad Ali (1805-1849); the laissez-faire state (1882-1952); and the interventionist state (1952-1980). More specifically, this study endeavors to answer two major questions: (1) What are the determinants of the state's economic policies; and (2) what are the effects of these policies on capital accumulation?; The state's intervention in the economy, especially among underdeveloped countries, affects capital accumulation, the distribution of income and wealth, as well as the development of labor power. As Chapter Two of this study indicates, most economic development theorists--orthodox and Marxist--either neglect the role of the state in capital accumulation or conceive of it as an "instrument" or a "subject." This neglect, coupled with misconceived ideas about the nature of the state, render such theories deficient or incomplete. The method of this study, as discussed in Chapter One, is the perspective provided by the framework of historical materialism. This chapter includes an explicit methodological position drawing upon the writings of Karl Marx, Louis Althusser and Nicos Poulantzas. In analyzing the policies of the Egyptian state under three distinct regimes (Chapters Three, Four and Five) such policies were found to be determined primarily by two inter-connected factors: (1) internal class relation; and (2) foreign capital and foreign government intervention. These chapters also demonstrate how state policies affect capital accumulation by changing the conditions under which the surplus is extracted. Chapter Five, specifically, examines how the policies of the post-1952 Egyptian state created their own contraditions which, in turn, imposed limits on the state itself.
title: Neuroimaging of human motor control in real world scenarios: from lab to urban environment

description: The main goal of this research programme was to explore the neurophysiological correlates of human motor control in real-world scenarios and define mechanism-specific markers that could eventually be employed as targets of novel neurorehabilitation practice. As a result of recent developments in mobile technologies it is now possible to observe subjects' behaviour and monitor neurophysiological activity whilst they perform natural activities freely. Investigations in real-world scenarios would shed new light on mechanisms of human motor control previously not observed in laboratory settings and how they could be exploited to improve rehabilitative interventions for the neurologically impaired. This research programme was focussed on identifying cortical mechanisms involved in both upper- (i.e. reaching) and lower-limb (i.e. locomotion) motor control. Complementary results were obtained by the simultaneous recordings of kinematic, electromyographic and electrocorticographic signals. To study motor control of the upper-limb, a lab­based setup was developed, and the reaching movement of healthy young individuals was observed in both stable and unstable (i.e. external perturbation) situations. Robot-mediated force-field adaptation has the potential to be employed in rehabilitation practice to promote new skills learning and motor recovery. The muscular (i.e. intermuscular couplings) and neural (i.e. spontaneous oscillations and cortico­muscular couplings) indicators of the undergoing adaptation process were all symbolic of adaptive strategies employed during early stages of adaptation. The medial frontal, premotor and supplementary motor regions appeared to be the principal cortical regions promoting adaptive control and force modulation. To study locomotion control, a mobile setup was developed and daily life human activities (i.e. walking while conversing, walking while texting with a smartphone) were investigated outside the lab. Walking in hazardous environments or when simultaneously performing a secondary task has been demonstrated to be challenging for the neurologically impaired. Healthy young adults showed a reduced motor performance when walking in multitasking conditions, during which whole-brain and task-specific neural correlates were observed. Interestingly, the activity of the left posterior parietal cortex was predictive of the level of gait stability across individuals, suggesting a crucial role of this area in gait control and determination of subject specific motor capabilities. In summary, this research programme provided evidence on different cortical mechanisms operative during two specific scenarios for "real­world" motor behaviour in and outside the laboratory-setting in healthy subjects. The results suggested that identification of neuro-muscular indicators of specific motor control mechanisms could be exploited in future "real-world" rehabilitative practice.

description: Background: Breast milk is a critical element in developing a baby's immunity through immune transfer. Antibodies are an essential unit of immunity against infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This paper explores antibodies in breast milk in postpartum women who have been vaccinated or exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Duration of antibody appearance was studied to determine the adequate time in transferring antibodies by breastfeeding. Methods: Three databases, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, were used as sources of articles. Inclusion criteria applied in selecting articles were prospective observational study or experimental design study in English, evaluating antibodies in breast milk, and conducted between 2019–2021. Article quality and risk of bias were assessed with Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). The data found were synthesized in a narrative manner. Results: This systematic review included 20 articles. A total of 306 postpartum women who were infected with COVID-19, 20 postpartum women who had viral symptoms and 495 postpartum women who had been vaccinated were studied. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were found in the breast milk of infected and vaccinated postpartum women. SARS CoV-2 infection is associated with the presence of IgA dominant, whereas vaccination is related to the presence of IgG dominant. Antibodies persisted from day 10 of onset to 10 months in infected postpartum women and started from three days to six weeks in vaccinated postpartum women. Meta-analysis could not be carried out due to the variety of articles. Conclusions: Antibodies found in breast milk in infected and vaccinated postpartum women have different dominant types. Further research needs to be done regarding the mechanism of antibody transfer in breast milk, longer research duration and studies that directly examine the comparison of antibodies in breast milk in vaccinated and infected postpartum women.

description: Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema „Selbstinszenierung auf Social Media: Unterschiede zwischen den weiblichen und männlichen Fußballspielerinnen bzw. Fußballspielern des österreichischen Nationalteams“. Bei der Sportberichterstattung ist noch immer eine Unterrepräsentanz der Frau erkennbar. Social Media Plattformen wie Facebook, Instagram und Co sind heutzutage in unserer Gesellschaft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Der Selbstdarstellungsaspekt spielt bei der Verwendung sozialer Medien eine große Rolle. Auch für PolitikerInnen, SchauspielerInnen, ProfisportlerInnen, etc. können solche Plattformen von großem Nutzen sein. Ebenso ist das Thema „Geschlecht im Sport“ schon seit Jahren sehr präsent in den Medien. Die Konstruktion von Geschlecht hat einen gesellschaftlichen Ursprung. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht wie die Geschlechterordnung durch Selbstinszenierung auf Instagram aufrechterhalten oder verändert wird. Mithilfe einer qualitativen Bildinhaltsanalyse soll untersucht werden, welche geschlechtsbezogenen Unterschiede auf den Instagram Profilen der Fußballspieler und Fußballspielerinnen des österreichischen Nationalteams zu finden sind. Ebenso wird analysiert durch welche Darstellungsformen klassische Geschlechterstereotype aufgebrochen werden können. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse der Forschungsarbeit, dass die analysierten Profile von Instagram grundsätzlich ein geschlechtsneutrales Bild präsentieren. Es zeigten sich große geschlechtliche Unterschiede bei der Anzahl an hochgeladener Inhalte. Jedoch lässt sich bei Männern und Frauen eine Tendenz erkennen, die zeigt, dass eine Selbstinszenierung im fußballerischen Kontext als auch im Privatleben zu finden ist.
