double layering of rights

description: The European Commission consulted between March 23 and June 15, 2016 on the role of publishers in the copyright value chain. This response by the European Copyright Society (1) analyses why an intervention creating a new neighbouring right for publishers is being considered in the wake of recent decisions by the CJEU in Reprobel (2015), and the German BGH (2016) in Verlegeranteil; (2) examines the rationale for neighbouring rights; (3) advises against double layering of rights; (4) assesses the implications of a neighbouring right for publishers for “open access” policies; and (5) identifies regulatory design flaws in the introduction of an ancillary right for press publishers in Germany (2013) and Spain (2014). In conclusion it is argued that value generation in itself is not a good case for intellectual property protection, and that the onus of proof needs to lie with the proponents of a new right. They need to show what the costs are, who will carry them, that the costs are necessary and proportionate, and provide verifiable evidence.

description: This paper explores how local, state, and federal governance during the COVID-19 global pandemic has affected the capacity of nonprofit organizations to assist the unhoused community of Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles. The COVID-19 pandemic initially presented severe challenges for nonprofit organizations, such as dealing with an economic downturn, understaffing, and limited access to personal protective equipment (PPE). As such, this paper seeks to understand Skid Row nonprofit workers’ perspectives regarding the public sector’s response to COVID-19. Findings show that most organizational representatives interviewed believe the public sector did not provide enough aid to Skid Row’s unhoused community during the pandemic. At the same time, the majority of representatives interviewed recognized the local, state, and federal government’s efforts and believe they handled the pandemic adequately overall. Nevertheless, interview participants suggested that, to truly aid the unhoused community, the public and nonprofit sectors must build stronger partnerships and enact policies to increase enrollment in long-term, supportive housing with no stipulations for entry or continued residence. Ultimately, this research brings to light the complexities of public policy and how funding initiatives, such as Project Homekey and the Housing First model, can be utilized to mitigate houselessness.

description: We study the rotational inertia of a model of supersolid in the frame of the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii theory in one space dimension. We discuss the ground state of the model and the existence of a non classical inertia (NCRI) under rotation that models an annular geometry. An explicit formula for the NCRI is deduced. It depends on the density profil of the ground state, in full agreement with former theories. We compare the NCRI computed through this theory with direct numerical simulations of rotating 1D systems.
Towards a culturally relevant pedagogy in art education
Creators: name: Rae, Aparna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: “The significance of relevant teachers to education lies in their belief that schools can be vehicles for social change, community building, and access to the mainstream; and that educators can take a leading role in promoting social justice”. Beauboeuf-Lafontant (1999, p. 702) The art classroom today is envisioned as a site for enabling social change by academics, pre-service teachers and a number of practicing teachers (Chalmers, 1996; Stuhr, 1994; Gude, 2007). As a subject in elementary and secondary schooling, art is one of the few areas that is excluded from provincial and federally mandated measures of accountability, such as standardized examinations. Theoretically, this allows an art teacher to mold his/her curriculum to address student need, enable social change and foster an atmosphere that allows for critical inquiry. Despite these perceived freedoms, many art programs are far from engendering ideas of equity (Staikidis, 2006). Art educators (Desai, 2002; Freedman, 2003) have argued that it is the teacher’s responsibility to make efforts for understanding between various (socio-cultural, economic, racial) groups in his/her classroom (Staikidis, 2006; Young, 2007). Through a series of interviews and classroom observations, this research attempts to understand ways in which secondary art teachers arrive at a stance of culturally relevant teaching. In particular, this research explores ways in which three secondary art teachers with parallel educational philosophies, and dissimilar teaching environments enact a curriculum and pedagogy with a stance on cultural relevancy. Consequently, factors contributing to culturally relevant and postcolonial pedagogies can be articulated and defined for future research. This study explores relationships that teachers negotiate with self, students, knowledge and communities to arrive at a curriculum and pedagogy. The relationships, while being interwoven and at times inseparable, represent epistemological and onto-logical foundations that remain grounded in ideas of hybridity, fluidity and self-reflexivity. Finally, this study opens a space for practitioners and researchers in the field of art education to consider the importance of inter/transdisciplinary research to move away from disciplinary limitations, and to develop modes of inquiry that are inclusive. In particular, this study aims to extend the postcolonial dialogue into art education.

description: ZnO nanowires are a promising material with great semiconductor properties. ZnO nanowires were prepared by carbothermal reduction and vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism. Altering a variety of parameters ranging from mole to mole ratio of ZnO to C all the way to gas flow rate was examined. The nanowires were then characterized and their morphology examined under a SEM to observe what effect the parameter had on the morphology of the nanowires. From the experiments and the parameters tested it was observed that in order to produce the highest quality straight nanowires one should use a mole to mole ratio of ZnO to C graphite of 1 to 3. With a dwell temperature and time of 900 °C for 3 hours. A gold seed catalyst of 4nm and a gas flow rate of 50 to 100sccm of Ar provides the straightest nanowires. Understanding the effect of each parameter on the morphology of ZnO nanowires is vital for the current research. This will only lead to further the research and provide a better understanding of the growth mechanism of these wires and how the production of specific wires with certain morphologic features and characteristics can be achieved.

X-ray Reverberation close to the black hole in RE J1034+396

description: In previous work, we discussed the detection of reverberation delays in the NLS1 1H0707-495. The delays originate close to the black hole. Here, we show that RE J1034+396 shows very similar lag properties. At low frequencies (< 1 \times 10-4 Hz), the time lag between energy bands increases with energy separation, similar to that commonly seen in Galactic black holes and other AGN. At higher frequencies (~ 3.5 \times 10-4 Hz), the soft (< 1 keV) and hard (> 3 keV) bands lag behind the intermediate band (1-3 keV). The simplest interpretation is that the intermediate band is dominated by the direct power-law continuum, while the soft and hard bands are dominated by the relativistically-smeared reflected emission. The low frequency delays are present in both available observations. The high frequency lags are only seen in one observation. In the observation where high frequency reverberation delays are observed, the spectrum contains a power-law component and there is a QPO in the light curve. In the other observation, no power-law component is required and no QPO is seen. The lags originate a few gravitational radii from the black hole, and the QPO is associated with the power-law emitting corona.

Greening the Twentieth Century Beijing—Planting Modernism from the Pre-Modern to the Post-Socialist China
Creators: name: Zhangu, Yichi
name: Lu, Nuonan
Publisher: name: International Planning History Society Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Being a prominent element of urban greening, the roadside trees were the significant designed urban landscapes in modern cities and represented the images of the metropolis. Distinguishing from the spontaneous approach practiced in the cities of Europe, the rise of that idea in China was introduced by European forces within the colonial expansion in the nineteenth century, while the development of this idea was under the shadow of the hegemony of foreign powers. Among the Chinese cities, Beijing - the capital of China, however, provides a typical case to present the production of the political power on this kind of urban landscapes. In the discourse of Beijing, the roadside trees not only played a key role to improve urban landscapes, but also represented ideologies of the authorities.

Being a particular political landscape, how did the development of roadside trees experience in Beijing? What kind of ideologies drove the trees planting in Beijing with the vicissitude of China during the twentieth century? How did the different Chinese authorities within successive periods, such as local elites, KMT and CCP governments, adopt the roadside trees to represent governing ideas? In the first half of the twentieth century, how were the roadside trees considered as an indication of modern urbanism? With post-socialist China experiencing Reform and Openness in the 1980s, why did the authority persist on adopt these designed landscapes? Led by the great urbanization of Beijing by the end of the century, what became the primary dynamism driving the authority to develop tree planting?

By employing the official documents, personal notes, newspapers and historical photos, this essay would place roadside trees into their native social and political contexts to map the motivation of urban greening, species selection of urban trees, the formation of urban green space planning, and the pattern of tree planting in Beijing, from the pre-modern phase, to the modern phase, then, to the socialist phase, after that, to the post-socialist phase. In so doing, this essay would contribute to explore the modernization process of tree planting in China, which, to be expanded, would also contribute to develop the worldwide post-colonialism theory of what Tani E. Barlow has called as ‘colonial modernity’, that is, ‘Asian modernities perform their own recodings of the discourses of modernity within a hegemonic capitalist world, while the forces producing colonialism in East Asia have neither been definitively ended nor superseded.'

description: The knowledge of stellar evolution is evolving quickly thanks to an increased number of opportunities to scrutinize the stellar internal plasma properties by stellar seismology and by 1D and 3D simulations. These new tools help us to introduce the internal dynamical phenomena in stellar modeling. A proper inclusion of these processes supposes a real confidence in the microscopic physics used, partly checked by solar or stellar acoustic modes. In the present paper we first recall which fundamental physics has been recently verified by helioseismology. Then we recall that opacity is an important ingredient of the secular evolution of stars and we point out why it is necessary to measure absorption coefficients and degrees of ionization in the laboratory for some well identified astrophysical conditions. We examine two specific experimental conditions which are accessible to large laser facilities and are suitable to solve some interesting questions of the stellar community: are the solar internal radiative interactions properly estimated and what is the proper role of the opacity in the excitation of the non radial modes in the envelop of the $β$ Cephei and the Be stars ? At the end of the paper we point out the difficulties of the experimental approach that we need to overcome.

description: Suzaku performed observations of 3 regions in and around the Shapley supercluster: a region located between A3558 and A3556, at ~0.9 times the virial radii of both clusters, and two other regions at 1°and 4°away from the first pointing. The 4°-offset observation was used to evaluate the Galactic foreground emission. We did not detect significant redshifted Oxygen emission lines (O VII and O VIII) in the spectra of all three pointings, after subtracting the contribution of foreground and background emission. An upper limit for the redshifted O VIII Ka line intensity of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) is 1.5 \times 10^-7 photons s^-1 cm^-2 arcmin^-2, which corresponds to an overdensity of ~380 (Z/0.1 Z_solar)^{-1/2} (L/3 Mpc)^{-1/2}, assuming T=3\times10^6 K. We found excess continuum emission in the 1°-offset and on-filament regions, represented by thermal models with kT ~1 keV and ~2 keV, respectively. The redshifts of both 0 and that of the supercluster (0.048) are consistent with the observed spectra. The ~1 keV emission can be also fitted with Ne-rich Galactic (zero redshift) thin thermal emission. Radial intensity profile of 2 keV component suggests contribution from A3558 and A3556, but with significant steepening of the intensity slope in the outer region of A3558. Finally, we summarized the previous Suzaku search for the WHIM and discussed the feasibility of constraining the WHIM. An overdensity of < 400 can be detectable using O VII and O VIII emission lines in a range of 1.4\times10^6 K < T < 5\times10^6 K or a continuum emission in a relatively high temperature range T > 5\times10^6 K with the Suzaku XIS. The non detection with Suzaku suggests that typical line-of-sight average overdensity is < 400.

description: The (International Design Report) IDR neutrino factory scenario for capture, bunching, phase-energy rotation and initial cooling of micro's produced from a proton source target is explored. It requires a drift section from the target, a bunching section and a -E rotation section leading into the cooling channel. The rf frequency changes along the bunching and rotation transport in order to form the 's into a train of equal-energy bunches suitable for cooling and acceleration.

description: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been successfully applied in various neurodegenerative diseases as an effective symptomatic treatment. However, its mechanisms of action within the brain network are still poorly understood. Many virtual DBS models analyze a subnetwork around the basal ganglia and its dynamics as a spiking network with their details validated by experimental data. However, connectomic evidence shows widespread effects of DBS affecting many different cortical and subcortical areas. From a clinical perspective, various effects of DBS besides the motoric impact have been demonstrated. The neuroinformatics platform The Virtual Brain (TVB) offers a modeling framework allowing us to virtually perform stimulation, including DBS, and forecast the outcome from a dynamic systems perspective prior to invasive surgery with DBS lead placement. For an accurate prediction of the effects of DBS, we implement a detailed spiking model of the basal ganglia, which we combine with TVB via our previously developed co-simulation environment. This multiscale co-simulation approach builds on the extensive previous literature of spiking models of the basal ganglia while simultaneously offering a whole-brain perspective on widespread effects of the stimulation going beyond the motor circuit. In the first demonstration of our model, we show that virtual DBS can move the firing rates of a Parkinson's disease patient's thalamus - basal ganglia network towards the healthy regime while, at the same time, altering the activity in distributed cortical regions with a pronounced effect in frontal regions. Thus, we provide proof of concept for virtual DBS in a co-simulation environment with TVB. The developed modeling approach has the potential to optimize DBS lead placement and configuration and forecast the success of DBS treatment for individual patients.

description: We re-examine the band structure of the stripe charge ordered state of $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under pressure by using an extended Hubbard model within the Hartree mean-field theory. By increasing pressure, we find a topological transition from a conventional insulator with a single-minimum in the dispersion relation at the M-point in the Brillouin zone, towards a new phase which exhibits a double-minimum. This transition is characterized by the appearance of a pair of Dirac electrons with a finite mass. Using the Luttinger-Kohn representation at the M-point, it is shown that such a variation of the band structure can be described by an effective $2 \times 2$ low energy Hamiltonian with a single driving parameter. The topological nature of this transition is confirmed by the calculation of the Berry curvature which vanishes in the conventional phase and has a double peak structure with opposite signs in the new phase. We compare the structure of this transition with a simpler situation which occurs in two-component systems, like boron-nitride.

description: Spectroscopic observations of the chemical abundances in metal-poor H II regions provide an independent method for estimating the primordial helium abundance. H II regions are described by several physical parameters such as electron density, electron temperature, and reddening, in addition to y, the ratio of helium to hydrogen. It had been customary to estimate or determine self-consistently these parameters to calculate y. Frequentist analyses of the parameter space have been shown to be successful in these determinations, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques have proven to be very efficient in sampling this parameter space. Nevertheless, accurate determination of the primordial helium abundance from observations of H II regions is constrained by both systematic and statistical uncertainties. In an attempt to better reduce the latter, and better characterize the former, we apply MCMC methods to the large dataset recently compiled by Izotov, Thuan, & Stasinska (2007). To improve the reliability of the determination, a high quality dataset is needed. In pursuit of this, a variety of cuts are explored. The efficacy of the He I 4026 emission line as a constraint on the solutions is first examined, revealing the introduction of systematic bias through its absence. As a clear measure of the quality of the physical solution, a χ^2 analysis proves instrumental in the selection of data compatible with the theoretical model. In addition, the method also allows us to exclude systems for which parameter estimations are statistical outliers. As a result, the final selected dataset gains in reliability and exhibits improved consistency. Regression to zero metallicity yields Y_p = 0.2534 \pm 0.0083, in broad agreement with the WMAP result. The inclusion of more observations shows promise for further reducing the uncertainty, but more high quality spectra are required.

description: In Deutschland ist ein Trend hin zu mehr Frugalität und folglich zu frugalen Innovationen erkennbar. Dieser Trend wird maßgeblich getrieben von der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Wachstumsmärkten in Schwellenländern, der Einkommensentwicklung in der hiesigen Gesellschaft sowie dem sich wandelnden Werteverständnis – besonders dem hohen Umweltbewusstsein und der Wahl moderater Lebensstile durch viele (insbesondere junge) Leute. Auch die demographische Entwicklung („alternde Gesellschaft“) scheint die Nachfrage nach benutzerfreundlichen, weniger komplexen und zugleich erschwinglichen Lösungen zu steigern. Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit den politischen Handlungsimplikationen dieses Phänomens für das deutsche Forschungs- und Innovationssystem auseinander. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass es empfehlenswert ist, die High-Tech Strategie Deutschlands um eine frugale Komponente zu ergänzen. Auch von der Förderung weiterer transdisziplinärer Forschungs- und Bildungsaktivitäten werden positive Effekte erwartet. Frugale Innovationen besitzen hohe Relevanz für den längerfristigen Erfolg der deutschen Wirtschaft. Sie können auch einen Beitrag dazu leisten, eine gerechtere soziale Teilhabe und bessere ökologische Nachhaltigkeit zu erreichen. Zurzeit sind allerdings noch keine „Best Practices“ zur Generierung frugaler Innovationen verbreitet. Die kontextspezifische und zugleich transdisziplinäre Erforschung dieser wird daher ausdrücklich empfohlen.

description: A library of glycoforms of human interleukin 6 (IL-6) comprising complex and mannosidic N-glycans was generated by semisynthesis. The three segments were connected by sequential native chemical ligation followed by two-step refolding. The central glycopeptide segments were assembled by pseudoproline-assisted Lansbury aspartylation and subsequent enzymatic elongation of complex N-glycans. Nine IL-6 glycoforms were synthesized, 7 of which were evaluated for in vivo plasma clearance in rats and compared to non-glycosylated recombinant IL-6 from E. coli. Each IL-6 glycoform was tested in three animals and reproducibly showed individual serum clearances depending on the structure of the N-glycan. The clearance rates were atypical, since the 2,6-sialylated glycoforms of IL-6 cleared faster than the corresponding asialo IL-6 with terminal galactoses. Compared to non-glycosylated IL-6 the plasma clearance of IL-6 glycoforms was delayed in the presence of larger and multibranched N-glycans in most cases.

description: Lehrfilme sind im Physikunterricht ein Mittel der Anschauung. Sie dokumentieren Experimente und Prozesse der Erkenntnisgewinnung, nutzen aber auch multiple fachsprachliche Ebenen zur Erklärung physikalischer Konzepte. Studien zur Erklärqualität haben gezeigt, dass die passive Rezeption eines Lehrfilms zum Verstehen nicht ausreicht. Verstehen erfordert vielmehr Lernaktivitäten, mit denen Lernende das im Film erklärte Wissen selbstständig verarbeiten können. Unser Ansatz der „Interaktiven Rekonstruktion“ basiert auf der Idee, für die Konstruktion derartiger Aktivitäten Bildmaterial aus dem Film selbst einzusetzen und so zu bearbeiten, dass Lernende die im Film dargestellten (experimentellen) Handlungen oder auch die Auswertung von Messergebnissen interaktiv nachvollziehen können. Eingebettet in eine an die Dramaturgie des Films angelehnte digitale Lernumgebung, bietet diese Verknüpfung aus erklärenden und aktiven Elementen neue didaktische Ge- staltungsmöglichkeiten. Wir erproben dieses Konzept derzeit anhand des Lehrfilms „Time dilation, an experiment with mu-mesons“, der 1963 im Rahmen des US-Bildungsprogramms des Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) entstand und ein klassisches Experiment zum Nachweis des Phänomens der Zeitdilatation in der speziellen Relativitätstheorie detailliert dokumentiert.
