description: Environmental, hunting and handling factors affect the microbial load of hunted game and the resulting meat products. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the influence of several factors on the initial microbial load (IML) of game carcasses during the early hunting chain. Eviscerated roe deer body cavities (n = 24) were investigated in terms of total viable count and the levels of Pseudomonas spp., Lactobacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Furthermore, a risk analysis based on the obtained original IML data, literature search and a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was performed. The IML could be explained in a regression model by factors including the higher body weight (BW), damaged gastrointestinal tract by the shot, ambient temperature or rain. The levels of Lactobacillus spp. (p = 0.0472), Enterobacteriaceae (p = 0.0070) and E. coli (p = 0.0015) were lower on the belly flap surface when gloves were used during evisceration. The literature search revealed that studies examining influencing factors (IF) on the IML of game carcasses found contradictory effects of the comparable IF on IML. Potential handling failures may lead to a higher IML of game carcasses during the early hunting chain ranked by FMEA. Several handling practices for game carcasses are recommended, such as ensuring efficient cooling of heavier BW carcasses to limit bacterial growth or eviscerating heavier carcasses before lighter ones.

description: A strategy for generating entanglement in two separated optomechanical oscillators is analysed, using entangled radiation produced from downconversion and stored in an initiating cavity. We show that the use of pulsed entanglement with optimally shaped temporal modes can efficiently transfer quantum entanglement into a mechanical mode, then remove it after a fixed waiting time for measurement. This protocol could provide new avenues to test for bounds on decoherence in massive systems that are spatially separated, as originally suggested by Wendell Furry [1] not long after the discussion by Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) and Schrodinger of entanglement.

description: Zona Pellucida Like Domain 1 Protein (ZPLD1) is a main component of the cupula, a gelatinous structure located in the labyrinth organ of the inner ear and involved in vestibular function. The N-glycosylated protein is likely able to organize high-molecular-weight polymers via its zona pellucida (ZP) module, which is common for many extracellular proteins that self-assemble into matrices. In this work, we confirmed that ZPLD1 can form multimers while setting up a cellular model leveraging Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to study protein polymerization. We identified two motifs within ZPLD1 which regulate its polymerization and follow previously published conserved regions, identified across ZP proteins. Mutational depletion of either one of these modules led to diminished or abnormal polymer formation outside of the cells, likely due to altered processing at the plasma membrane. Further, intracellular polymer formation was observed. Proteolytic cleavage during secretion, separating the regulatory motif located distinct of the ZP module from the mature monomer, seems to be necessary to enable polymerization. While the molecular interactions of the identified motifs remain to be proven, our findings suggest that ZPLD1 is a polymer forming ZP protein following an orchestrated mechanism of protein polymerization to finally build up a gelatinous hydrogel.

description: Recent theoretical and experimental work has suggested the tantalizing possibility of opening a topological gap upon driving the surface states of a three-dimensional strong topological insulator (TI) with circularly polarized light. With this motivation, we study the response of TIs to a driving field that couples to states near the surface. We unexpectedly find coherent oscillations between the surface and the bulk and trace their appearance to unavoidable resonances caused by photon absorption from the drive. We show how these resonant oscillations may be captured by the Demkov- Osherov model of multi-level Landau-Zener physics, leading to non-trivial consequences such as the loss of adiabaticity upon slow ramping of the amplitude. We numerically demonstrate that these oscillations are observable in the time-dependent Wigner distribution, which is directly measurable in time-resolved ARPES experiments. Our results apply generically to any system with surface states in the presence of a gapped bulk, and thus suggest experimental signatures of a novel surface-bulk coupling mechanism that is fundamental for proposals to engineer non-trivial states by periodic driving.

Camera systematics and three-point correlations in modern photometric galaxy surveys
Creators: name: Baumer, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The goal of modern cosmology, broadly speaking, is to understand the behavior of the Universe at large scales, including the evolution of dark matter and dark energy over cosmic time. In the context of the modern paradigm of a universe dominated by dark energy and cold dark matter (LCDM), the goal is to detect deviations from LCDM predictions (new physics), and in the absence of those, to infer the value of the LCDM parameters. Advances this endeavor will require both improved constraints on systematic errors in raw astronomical data as well as improved statistical methods for extracting cosmological information from galaxy catalogs. Toward these ends, the first half of this thesis discusses methods for improving our ability to make precise and accurate measurements of galaxies in the universe using astronomical CCD imaging cameras. The second half of this thesis discusses a novel application of a statistical probe of the cosmic web of dark matter, the galaxy three-point correlation function, to photometric galaxy surveys, that allows us to extract more information of cosmological interest from the observed galaxy distribution. Both lines of research discussed in this thesis will be useful in future analyses of data from upcoming optical galaxy surveys, including the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

description: The promotion of dialogues between youth and older adults in the field of cultural education remains one of the most important educational policy tasks in Germany. After all, intergenerational, cultural projects can make an important contribution to reducing ageism, promoting personal development, and dealing with social challenges. Close collaboration between actors from different sectors (school, cultural associations, administration, etc.) is needed to secure such programmes. However, this presupposes that the expectations that the involved actors have regarding the collaboration are transparently examined, discussed and adjusted within the collaborative network in advance. Therefore, the aim is to identify initial indications of different expectations of collaboration between actors from various sectors. In order to answer the research question, 24 semi-structured interviews were conducted in combination with ego-centred network maps in six German municipalities with actors from different fields (schools, administration, cultural associations, etc.). The data were then interpreted using qualitative content analysis. Our results show that actors participate with expectations ranging from different degrees of closeness and distance to the other involved actors. These results allow the first systematisation of individual expectations of actors at the beginning of a collaboration.

description: Alprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine which is most commonly used in the short-term management of anxiety disorders, often in combination with antipsychotics. The four human members of the CYP3A subfamily are mainly responsible for its metabolism, which yields the main metabolites 4-hydroxyalprazolam and α-hydroxyalprazolam. We performed a comparison of alprazolam metabolism by all four CYP3A enzymes upon recombinant expression in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 show the highest 4-hydroxyalprazolam production rates, while CYP3A5 alone is the major producer of α-hydroxyalprazolam. For both metabolites, CYP3A7 and CYP3A43 show lower activities. Computational simulations rationalize the difference in preferred oxidation sites observed between the exemplary enzymes CYP3A5 and CYP3A43. Investigations of the alprazolam metabolites formed by three previously described CYP3A43 mutants (L293P, T409R, and P340A) unexpectedly revealed that they produce 4-hydroxy-, but not α-hydroxyalprazolam. Instead, they all also make a different metabolite, which is 5-N-O alprazolam. With respect to 4-hydroxyalprazolam, the mutants showed fourfold (T409R) to sixfold (L293P and P340A) higher production rates compared to the wild-type (CYP3A43.1). In the case of 5-N-O alprazolam, the production rates were similar for the three mutants, while no formation of this metabolite was found in the wild-type incubation.

description: Physiological particularities of the equine heart justify the development of an in vitro model suitable for investigations of the species-specific equine cardiac electrophysiology. Adipose tissue-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) could be a promising starting point from which to develop such a cardiomyocyte (CM)-like cell model. Therefore, we compared abdominal, retrobulbar, and subcutaneous adipose tissue as sources for the isolation of ASCs applying two isolation methods: the collagenase digestion and direct explant culture. Abdominal adipose tissue was most suitable for the isolation of ASCs and both isolation methods resulted in comparable yields of CD45-/CD34-negative cells expressing the mesenchymal stem cell markers CD29, CD44, and CD90, as well as pluripotency markers, as determined by flow cytometry and real-time quantitative PCR. However, exposure of equine ASCs to 5-azacytidine (5-AZA), reportedly inducing CM differentiation from rats, rabbits, and human ASCs, was not successful in our study. More precisely, neither the early differentiation markers GATA4 and NKX2-5, nor the late CM differentiation markers TNNI3, MYH6, and MYH7 were upregulated in equine ASCs exposed to 10 µM 5-AZA for 48 h. Hence, further work focusing on the optimal conditions for CM differentiation of equine stem cells derived from adipose tissue, as well as possibly from other origins, are needed.

description: The study of human bioclimatic conditions is becoming popular in climate perception for the improvement of the public health system. The objective of the present study is to analyze the past and future thermal bioclimate conditions over 15 stations in West Bengal (WB), India. The bioclimate conditions are measured by the daily Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) based on climate data extracted from the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX)-South Asia. The initial purpose of this study is to present the interannual distribution of PET classes over the considered stations of WB for the past period (1986–2005) and two future time periods, namely (i) near future (2016–2035) and (ii) mid-21st century (2046–2065). The results from the monthly distribution of PET reveal heat stress conditions from April to June and acceptable thermal conditions from November that persist till March for all the stations except Darjeeling, a hill station. To focus on future PET changes over WB in context to the reference period (1986–2005), warm and hot PET classes show prominent rises in the future epochs under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios. The highest percentage in the warm PET class (35.7–43.8 °C) appears in stations near the Bay of Bengal such as Digha, Diamond Harbour, Canning, and Baruipur during the mid-21st century time slice under RCP8.5 conditions. Simultaneously, hot PET class (>43.8 °C) records up to 10% for Kolkata, Dum Dum, Kharagpur, Siliguri and more than 10% in Sriniketan, Malda, Asansol, and Birbhum. Darjeeling will experience the greatest decrease in the very cool PET class (<3.3 °C) in the medium term. The explicit amount of change in temperature is seemingly connected to the increasing levels of heat stress over WB, as is evident from the relative mean monthly changes in PET.

description: We present a novel, self-consistent and robust theoretical model to investigate elastic interactions between topological defects in liquid crystal shells. Accounting for the non-concentric nature of the shell in a simple manner, we are able to successfully and accurately explain and predict the positions of the defects, most relevant in the context of colloidal self-assembly. We calibrate and test our model on existing experimental data, and extend it to all newly observed defects configurations in chiral nematic shells. We perform new experiments to check further and confirm the validity of the present model. Moreover, we are able to obtain quantitative estimates of the energies of $+1$ or $+3/2$ disclination lines in cholesterics, whose intricate nature was only reported recently.

description: Internationally, evidence exists that physicians use instant messaging services for communication tasks in everyday clinical practice However, there are only few data on physicians in Germany in this regard. Therefore, at the initiation of our project “DocTalk-Dialog meets Chatbot: Collaborative Learning and Teaching in the Process of Work”, we conducted a stakeholder survey with an exploratory research approach. The aim was to gain initial insights into use of instant messaging software and attitudes towards data security and advantages and disadvantages before implementing a data-secure in-house messaging platform. N = 70 physicians at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin completed an exploratory questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data using thematic analysis. The use of messenger software was not widespread in the sample studied. Physicians most frequently used face-to-face contact for communication. On average, up to ten instant messages were exchanged per day, mainly among colleagues, to answer mutual questions, and to send pictures. With a high awareness of privacy-related restrictions among participating physicians, advantages such as fast and uncomplicated communication were also highlighted. An instant messenger solution that complies with the German data protection guidelines is needed and should be investigated in more detail.

description: Preclinical studies have shown that parathyroid hormone (PTH) loses its biological effects through oxidation. PTH can be oxidized at methionines 8 and 18. Three possible variations of oxidized PTH (oxPTH) exist: Met8(ox)PTH, Met18(ox)PTH, and Met8, Met18(di-ox)PTH. A recent study showed that Met18(ox)PTH retained biological activity and was able to upregulate Fgf23 gene expression, whereas Met8(ox)PTH and Met8, Met18(di-ox)PTH showed less or no biological activity. An earlier study likewise showed that the oxidation of Met18 has minor effects on the secondary structure of PTH, whereas the oxidation of Met8 causes substantial structural changes, consistent with another study showing that oxidization just at Met8 blocks the generation of the second messenger cAMP, whereas the effect of the oxidation of Met18 is much less potent in inhibiting cAMP formation. A considerable percentage of circulating PTH in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is oxidized. However, we do not know the relative amounts of the different forms of oxPTH with agonistic, partial agonistic, or even antagonistic biological actions in different CKD populations. This might explain different clinical findings in the different CKD populations analyzed so far. The currently available method that was used in these clinical studies just distinguishes between oxPTH and noxPTH without being able to differentiate between different forms of oxPTH. Only methods of PTH measurement that are able to differentiate between PTH forms (noxPTH, Met8(ox)PTH, Met18(ox)PTH, and Met8, Met18(di-ox)PTH) have the potential to improve patient care, because only these methods will definitively separate bioactive from non-bioactive PTH forms. Such methods need to be developed, validated, and used in prospective randomized clinical trials to define the potential value of bioactive PTH forms as a predictor of cardiovascular events, mortality, and bone turnover.
Enabling Supernovae Cosmology with large time-domain surveys

description: It was recently discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) were crucial for this discovery and to constrain cosmological parameters. Current and upcoming large time-domain surveys will rev- olutionise the field by discovering at least one order of magnitude more SNe than the currently available datasets, which will lead to tighter cosmological parameter constraints. However, these surveys will also bring challenges due to the volume of data they observe. Thus, we require new methods to analyse, understand, and extract cosmological constraints from the data. In particular, the upcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) must rely on photometric classification to identify the observed SNe, instead of the traditional spectroscopic confirmation. In this thesis, we develop a methodology to perform this photomet- ric classification based on dataset augmentation, wavelet features, and a machine learning classifier. Specifically, we find that augmenting the training set to make its features similar to the dataset we want to classify is crucial. Next, we use our methodology to measure the impact of the LSST observing strategy in photometric classification; this work contributes towards the community-focused optimisation of the observing strategy. Since the above work used simulated data, we next set a benchmark for the classification performance of our approach using the Zwicky Transient Facility real data; this is a precursor survey to LSST. Finally, we present a proof-of-concept of a neural network to predict lensed SN Ia parameters from light curves and images of those events.

Die Kulturwissenschaftlerin Eva Lüthi hat diese Orte über mehrere Jahre fotografierend beobachtet und miteinander konzeptuell verknüpft. Über den visuellen Zugang zu den Menschen, Lebewesen, Dingen und Orten in ihren sozialen Verflechtungen wird das ständige Rück-, Um- und Neubauen des städtischen Alltags und der spätmodernen Stadt erlebbar gemacht. Im Fokus stehen die Zwischenstadien, das Dazwischen oder das mehrschichtig Situative. Diese werden zur Analyse von Stadt und Fotografie zugleich produktiv gemacht. Als Deutungshilfen für die Fotoethnografien wird beschrieben, wie sie entstanden, dargestellt und verwendet werden. Sie werden im Stadtkontext eingebettet. Innovativ werden Sprachbilder verwendet, die zu Annäherungen an die Fotoethnografien führen. Das Foto- und Lesebuch lädt zum Sehen und Gehen ein und bietet zugleich eine anschauliche Alltagskulturanalyse und Stadtforschung. Es eröffnet eine neue Perspektive zur Beschreibung von Kultur und erweitert ethnografisches Erzählen um das sinnlich Erlebbare.

description: The European Union’s relative disregard for the economic, geopolitical and climatic concerns of its peripheral Eastern countries has contributed to making the war in Ukraine possible. Its consequences are now returning in the form of energy dependence and economic instability on the Union as a whole and the risk of economic crisis and deindustrialisation. This should prompt a re-assessment of the EU’s strategy towards its eastern neighbours, particularly in the energy and climate policy field. This evaluation starts from the issue of control over cheap energy as a key material foundation of state and interstate power. On this basis, we analyse the struggle between Russia and the European core states over Ukraine in terms of the ability to extract an economic surplus through the unequal exchange of energy. The current escalation should be understood as an attempt by the Russian petrostate to preserve the economic basis of its regime, which is threatened by the prospect of a low-carbon transition in Europe. We conclude that a massive acceleration of the transition away from fossil fuels is the key to economic, geopolitical and climate stabilisation, highlighting possible policy instruments the EU could use to secure its production system and protect citizens’ security.

description: A first attempt to apply the AdS/QCD framework for a bottom-up approach to the evaluation of the effective cross section for double parton scattering in proton-proton collisions is presented. The main goal is the analytic evaluation of the dependence of the effective cross section on the longitudinal momenta of the involved partons, obtained within the holographic Soft-Wall model. If measured in high-energy processes at hadron colliders, this momentum dependence could open a new window on 2-parton correlations in a proton.

description: This study tries to assess the impacts of institutional reform on organizational culture based on a small-scale survey conducted in Federal Transport Authority by examining the attention given for changing the attitudes and awareness level of employees. Using a case study method, from total population of the study a sample of 75 employees of the organization was taken. The instruments used to gather the data are questionnaires, interviews, and documents. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and some finding are summarized for conclusions and recommendations that might enable the institutional reform implemented in the organization to change the culture of the organization for the successful achievements of the organizations goals. The findings of the study depicts that sufficient attention is not given during reform implementation for changing the human element and culture of the organization. Based on the findings the following recommendations are made on impacts of institutional reform on organizational culture. Top executive's attention and initiatives for institutional reform and changing the culture must be improved for better performance and achievement of goals of reforms as it was intended. Government has to change the working environment in government institutions and improve the benefit package of the organization by creating uniformity throughout the whole federal government organizations. To sum up, all findings clearly depicts that strong organizational culture was not created even after the implementation of reform in the organization.

description: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since a large portion of the world’s population is currently unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated and has limited access to approved treatments against COVID-19, there is an urgent need to continue research on treatment options, especially those at low cost and which are immediately available to patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Prior in vitro and observational studies have shown that fluoxetine, possibly through its inhibitory effect on the acid sphingomyelinase/ceramide system, could be a promising antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatment against COVID-19. In this report, we evaluated the potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities of fluoxetine in a K18-hACE2 mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and against variants of concern in vitro, i.e., SARS-CoV-2 ancestral strain, Alpha B.1.1.7, Gamma P1, Delta B1.617 and Omicron BA.5. Fluoxetine, administrated after SARS-CoV-2 infection, significantly reduced lung tissue viral titres and expression of several inflammatory markers (i.e., IL-6, TNFα, CCL2 and CXCL10). It also inhibited the replication of all variants of concern in vitro. A modulation of the ceramide system in the lung tissues, as reflected by the increase in the ratio HexCer 16:0/Cer 16:0 in fluoxetine-treated mice, may contribute to explain these effects. Our findings demonstrate the antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of fluoxetine in a K18-hACE2 mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and its in vitro antiviral activity against variants of concern, establishing fluoxetine as a very promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease pathogenesis.
Matrix product states and equivariant topological field theories for bosonic symmetry-protected topological phases in (1+1) dimensions

description: Matrix Product States (MPSs) provide a powerful framework to study and classify gapped quantum phases --symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in particular--defined in one dimensional lattices. On the other hand, it is natural to expect that gapped quantum phases in the limit of zero correlation length are described by topological quantum field theories (TFTs or TQFTs). In this paper, for (1+1)-dimensional bosonic SPT phases protected by symmetry $G$, we bridge their descriptions in terms of MPSs, and those in terms of $G$-equivariant TFTs. In particular, for various topological invariants (SPT invariants) constructed previously using MPSs, we provide derivations from the point of view of (1+1) TFTs. We also discuss the connection between boundary degrees of freedom, which appear when one introduces a physical boundary in SPT phases, and "open" TFTs, which are TFTs defined on spacetimes with boundaries.

description: Part of the Archie Wills illustrated autobiography. A note on Buckingham Palace stationary from the English King and Queen thanking soldiers for fighting and wishing them a safe return home. In a typed caption under the photo, Archie Wills writes, "When I boarded the S.S. Royal George at Liverpool on February 10th, 1919, I was handed the above note from King George V. It was similar to one handed to every soldier on leaving for his homeland. We were expecting great things on discharge in Canada as Prime Minister Robert Borden, when he spoke to us after Vimy, said 'When you come home the country will be yours.' We found it to be just another political promise."

description: Performance management and performance appraisal are now issues of crucial concern in higher education owing to factors like increased numbers of students and increasing overall expenditures. Empirical evidence suggests that the implementation of performance appraisal systems in academic institutions often result in tension between academic employees and management. The present study assessed the perception of academic staffs regarding the implementation of performance appraisal system in Ethiopian public universities with special reference to the Ethiopian Civil Service University (ECSU) and Kotebe Metropolitan University (KMU). The study used survey research design, using both quantitative and qualitative research approach. The quantitative data were collected from academic staffs and the qualitative data was collected from department heads. The total sample of the study comprised of 106 academic staffs. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that PA results were used to provide information about administrative decisions and performance appraisal criteria have been clearly identified. However, the subjectivity of the performance evaluation criteria, biasedness of the appraisers and limited commitment to provide feedback were the challenges of PA practices in the study area. Therefore, the findings have managerial implications for training, motivation and provision of resources for effective performance appraisal. ECSU and KMU should make the academic staff participate in preparation of PE criteria to minimize the subjectivity and provide PA result feedback to academic staffs on time; this benefits the students, the university, and the academic staffs; since if the academic staffs know their performance where they are, they will strive to improve their performance Key Words: Performance Appraisal, Performance Evaluation, Academic staffs, Performance Appraisal System, Performance Appraisal Result

description: Automated data-driven decision making systems are increasingly being used to assist, or even replace humans in many settings. These systems function by learning from historical decisions, often taken by humans. In order to maximize the utility of these systems (or, classifiers), their training involves minimizing the errors (or, misclassifications) over the given historical data. However, it is quite possible that the optimally trained classifier makes decisions for people belonging to different social groups with different misclassification rates (e.g., misclassification rates for females are higher than for males), thereby placing these groups at an unfair disadvantage. To account for and avoid such unfairness, in this paper, we introduce a new notion of unfairness, disparate mistreatment, which is defined in terms of misclassification rates. We then propose intuitive measures of disparate mistreatment for decision boundary-based classifiers, which can be easily incorporated into their formulation as convex-concave constraints. Experiments on synthetic as well as real world datasets show that our methodology is effective at avoiding disparate mistreatment, often at a small cost in terms of accuracy.

description: Im Lehrplan 21 spielen prozessbezogene Kompetenzen eine zentrale Rolle. Eine dieser Kompetenzen ist das Argumentieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, welche Voraussetzungen erfüllt sein müssen, damit die Kinder der 1. und 2. Klasse im Mathematikunterricht argumentieren lernen. Neben der Vermittlung von fachsprachlichen Begriffen begünstigen herausfordernde Problemstellungen und gezielt eingesetzte Fragen der Lehrperson die Argumentationsfähigkeiten der Kinder. Als zweites wird die Frage untersucht, inwiefern die Lehrmittel des Kantons Zürich, „Mathematik 1 + 2 Primarstufe“ Aufgaben anbieten, die Kinder zum Argumentieren anregen. Diese Frage wird mit einer inhaltlich strukturierten Inhaltsanalyse untersucht. Beide Lehrmittel berücksichtigen alle wesentlichen Punkte, welche nötig sind, damit Kinder in der Unterstufe zum Argumentieren hingeführt werden können.
