description: Impregnating nanoparticles in classical polymer substrata is one of the interesting strategies which may confer multi-functional and multi-purposed polymer-based structure. The potential applications extend from bio-compatible scaffold for different types of tissue growth [1], antimicrobial or antifouling surface layer [2], or even photocatalytic framework for enhanced reactional sites [3]. Nanoparticles aglomeration remains however a major concern during the fabrication of these “enhanced polymer substrate”. Recent work in our research group have shown promising rapid plasma synthesized Ag and Au nanoparticles with tuneable geometry, with furthermore a safe-by-design process [4]. Intermediate steps involving hazardous nanoparticles powder blending or dilution may be forsaken to incorporate the nanoparticles in polymer substrata. In this work, we incorporated the plasma synthesized Ag nanoparticles within a PDMS based microfluidic circuit. The microfluidic circuit is destined to offer eventual benchwork for fast photo-catalytical or antimicrobial activities evaluation. Optical spectroscopy measurements have been performed where the non-reflected and non-transmitted incident light were analyzed to attest the surface plasmon or localized plasmon band excitation. Contrary to classical analysis where non-transmitted incident light in the plasmon band is assimilated to the general term “plasmon absorption”, we succeeded in distinguishing cases where localized plasmon or propagating surface plasmon mode were excited. Herein the plasmon wavelength (400 – 450nm), the same level of non-transmitted light could be assorted with distinct levels of non-reflected light, giving key information on the migration and aggregates formation of AgNP within the PDMS substrate. The results also confirmed that the AgNP incorporation is subjected to aggregates formation with time.
title: On constant regret for low-rank MDPs
Creators: name: Sturm, Alexander
Year: 2024

description: Obwohl bereits problemabhängige Regret-Bounds für lineare Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) und Low-Rank Bandits existieren, bleiben Erweiterungen auf Low-Rank MDPs unerforscht. In dieser Masterarbeit schließen wir diese Lücke und liefern Expected-Regret-Bounds für Low-Rank MDPs in einem problemabhängigen Kontext. Konkret stellen wir einen Algorithmus namens UniSREP-UCB vor, der ein beschränktes Optimierungsziel nutzt, um Representationen mit guten spektralen Eigenschaften zu lernen. Wir zeigen, dass für jeden Low-Rank MDP mit einem positiven minimalen Sub-Optimalitygap, UniSREP-UCB nach einigen Aufwärmepisoden einen Expected-Regret von \(\Tilde{O}(H^{4}d^{1/2}|\mathcal{A}|T^{2/3})\) erreicht. Darüber hinaus zeigen wir, dass eine Identifikation der optimalen Policy möglich ist, solange der minimale Sub-Optimalitygap und die Occupancy-Distributions der optimalen Policies wohldefiniert und bekannt sind. Nach bestem Wissen sind dies die ersten problemabhängigen Regret-Bounds für Low-Rank MDPs.
description: Although there exist instance-dependent regret results for linear Markov decision processes (MDPs) and low-rank Bandits, extensions to low-rank MDPs remain unexplored. In this master thesis, we close this gap and provide expected regret bounds for low-rank MDPs in an instance-dependent setting. Specifically, we introduce an algorithm, called UniSREP-UCB, which utilizes a constrained optimization objective to learn feature maps with good spectral properties. We show that for any low-rank MDP with positive minimal sub-optimality gap, UniSREP-UCB achieves expected regret \(\Tilde{O}(H^{4}d^{1/2}|\mathcal{A}|T^{2/3})\), after some warm-up episodes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that optimal policy identification is possible, as long as the minimal sub-optimality gap and the occupancy distributions of optimal policies are well-defined and known. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first instance-dependent regret results for low-rank MDPs.

description: Pigment analyses on more than 90 paintings dating from between 1885 and 1943 (A. Jawlensky, W Kandinsky F. Hodler and C.Amiet) have revealed that the majority of samples with chromium oxide hydrate green contain a spectroscopically conspicuous by-product. With the aim of tracking down the origin of this component, the so-called Guignet green, a variation of viridian produced by calcination, was systematically synthesized under varying conditions. The resulting products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy energy dispersive spectrometry, electron microprobe microanalysis with wavelength dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, secondary electron and backscattered electron imaging by scanning electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy and colorimetry The composition of pigment products varies with the calcination conditions. Hasher temperatures and/or longer calcination times lead to an insoluble borate matrix incorporating chronium oxide particles. The result is an amorphous chromium oxide borate Cr2O3 center dot(xH(2)O)-Cr3BO6 polymorph with low water content. Interpreting chromium oxide hydrate green samples within this context, it turns out that calcination conditions in the past were highly variable, leaving behind considerable amounts of borates in the final product. Current data covering more than 60 paintings by Jawlensky suggest that the use of a specific production batch can be resolved hi time. Identification of borates in chromium oxide hydrate green sampels from paintings may thus provide information about the origin of the paint product used.

description: Im Rahmen einer Praxiserhebung wurden Daten zum Festfutterverzehr und zur Lebendgewichtsentwicklung von Mutterkuhkälbern von der Geburt bis im Alter von 305 Tagen erhoben und analysiert. Daraus wurden Schätzformeln zur Gewichtsentwicklung und zum Festfutterverzehr von Mutterkuhkälbern in der Schweiz abgeleitet. Es zeigte sich, dass das Alter und Geschlecht der Kälber sowie der Rassentyp der Mutter die Gewichtsentwicklung von Mutterkuhkälbern beeinflussen. Letzteres dürfte auf Unterschiede in der Milchleistung der Mutter zurückzuführen sein. Kälber mit F1-Müttern (Mast- × Milchrasse) nahmen bis zum 150. Tag 13 % mehr zu als reine Mastrassentiere, in der zweiten Altersphase waren es sogar 23 %. Von der Geburt bis zum Alter von 150 Tagen wurde eine Verzehrssteigerung von 0 auf 3,4 kg TS/Tag Festfutter berechnet, für die Altersphase von 151 bis 305 Tagen eine von 3,5 auf 7,0 kg TS/Tag. Die Formeln zur Schätzung des Festfutterverzehrs von Mutterkuhkälbern beinhalten die Faktoren Lebendgewicht (LG) oder Alter der Kälber sowie in der zweiten Altersphase zusätzlich den Rassentyp der Mutter. Die Milchleistung der Mutterkühe scheint auch den Festfutterverzehr ihrer Kälber zu beeinflussen. Kälber mit F1-Müttern haben ab einem Alter von 150 Tagen wesentlich weniger Festfutter aufgenommen als reine Mastrassentiere. Bis zum Alter von 150 Tagen sind die ermittelten Werte zum summierten Grundfutterverzehr von Mutterkuhkälbern mit den Richtwerten in den Grundlagen für die Düngung landwirtschaftlicher Kulturen (GRUD) vergleichbar. Von der Geburt bis zum Alter von 305 Tagen war der summierte Grundfutterverzehr jedoch um 32 % höher (793 vs. 600 kg TS) als derjenige der GRUD, wobei das LG ebenfalls um 19 % höher war (418 vs. 350 kg). Der summierte Grundfutterverzehr ist aufgrund dieser Differenzen im LG nicht direkt mit den Werten der GRUD vergleichbar.

description: Dans un contexte économique et social en constante évolution, les organisations, telles que l’Institut National de Prévoyance Sociale (INPS), sont confrontées à des défis croissants dans la gestion de leurs ressources humaines, en particulier le recrutement. L’INPS joue un rôle central dans le système de sécurité sociale Malien, assurant des services essentiels comme l’assurance maladie, les retraites et les allocations familiales. Face aux attentes sociétales changeantes et aux crises économiques, l’INPS doit continuellement adapter ses pratiques pour attirer et retenir des talents capables de répondre aux besoins croissants de la population.

Cette étude identifiera les principaux obstacles que l’INPS doit surmonter pour moderniser ses pratiques d’acquisition des ressources humaines. Des facteurs tels que la résistance au changement, les contraintes budgétaires et l’absence d’une culture propice à l’innovation seront examinés afin de proposer des recommandations concrètes. L’objectif est d’assurer que l’INPS continue de jouer un rôle central dans la protection sociale du pays tout en s’adaptant aux nouvelles réalités du marché du travail.

Improvement continued in phase C in P2, stabilized in P1 and P4 and deterioratedin P3. A Minimal-Clinical-Important-Difference of 6 points-change was achieved in P2&P4. Trunk-swayreduced during walking, indicating increased stability, in two participants from phase A to B and in threeparticipants from A to C but no TAA changes were statistically significant. In phase C participant-selectedwalking-aids were: P1 cane-usage reduced by 25%, P2 independent-walking with no assistive-device, S3usual cane-usage, P4 orthotic-garment with reduced cane-usage 2-3 days-a-week, usual cane-usage 4e5days.Conclusions:Although walking ability is multifactorial these results indicate that the choice of walking-aids can have a specific and clinically relevant impact on gait following stroke.“Hands-free”assistive-devices may be more effective than canes in improving gait-function in somepatients.

description: Accurate assessment of training load (TL) and training load responses (TLR) might be useful for an optimized training regulation and prevention of overtraining. No consensus on a gold-standard for measuring TL or intensity in endurance sports has been reported in the available literature so far. The aim of the present article is i) to identify feasible parameters to measure TL and TLR in daily training and ii) to compare these scientific approaches with the needs of elite endurance coaches. Therefore, the first part provides a systematic review of the current literature and the second part concentrates on the results of a questionnaire that assessed the coaches’ requirements for monitoring daily endurance training. The systematic review revealed that the combination of both quantitative and qualitative data seems most promising to evaluate TL and TLR. Thus, validated questionnaires or rating of perceived exertion (RPE), combined with physiological parameters, such as heart rate, are often used and seem to provide the most reliable results. From the coaches’ perspective, duration and kind of training, RPE, as well as personal remarks in the athletes’ training diaries are considered to be essential information. Further, the coaches favor a feasible system that collects large amounts of directly measurable and perceived data and that is able to learn from previous events in order to present the most important information in a short individual overview. When comparing both parts of the present study, it becomes clear that the scientific research cannot yet fully respond to the coaches’ requests, however, based on the coaches’ propositions, scientific research might be stimulated to tackle this challenge in the near future.

description: From a public health perspective, determinants of diets are crucial to identify, but they remain unclear in Switzerland. Hence, we sought to define current dietary patterns and their sociodemographic and lifestyle determinants using the national nutrition survey menuCH (2014–2015, n = 2057). First, we applied multiple factorial analysis and hierarchical clustering on the energy-standardised daily consumption of 17 food categories. Four dietary patterns were identified (“Swiss traditional”: high intakes of dairy products and chocolate, n = 744; “Western 1”: soft drinks and meat, n = 383; “Western 2”: alcohol, meat and starchy, n = 444; and “Prudent”: n = 486). Second, we used multinomial logistic regression to examine the determinants of the four dietary patterns: ten sociodemographic or lifestyle factors (sex, age, body mass index, language region, nationality, marital status, income, physical activity, smoking status, and being on a weight-loss diet) were significantly associated with the dietary patterns. Notably, belonging to the French- and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland increased the odds of following a “Prudent” diet (Odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.92 [1.45–2.53] and 1.68 [0.98–2.90], respectively) compared to the German-speaking regions. Our findings highlight the influence of sociodemographic and lifestyle parameters on diet and the particularities of the language regions of Switzerland. These results provide the basis for public health interventions targeted for population subgroups.

description: Ammonia (NH3) fluxes were estimated from a field being grazed by dairy cattle during spring by applying a backward Lagrangian stochastic model (bLS) model combined with horizontal concentration gradients measured across the field. Continuous concentration measurements at field boundaries were made by open-path miniDOAS (differential optical absorption spectroscopy) instruments while the cattle were present and for 6 subsequent days. The deposition of emitted NH3 to "clean" patches on the field was also simulated, allowing both "net" and "gross" emission estimates, where the dry deposition velocity (vd) was predicted by a canopy resistance (Rc) model developed from local NH3 flux and meteorological measurements. Estimated emissions peaked during grazing and decreased after the cattle had left the field, while control on emissions was observed from covariance with temperature, wind speed and humidity and wetness measurements made on the field, revealing a diurnal emission profile. Large concentration differences were observed between downwind receptors, due to spatially heterogeneous emission patterns. This was likely caused by uneven cattle distribution and a low grazing density, where "hotspots" of emissions would arise as the cattle grouped in certain areas, such as around the water trough. The spatial complexity was accounted for by separating the model source area into sub-sections and optimising individual source area coefficients to measured concentrations. The background concentration was the greatest source of uncertainty, and based on a sensitivity/uncertainty analysis the overall uncertainty associated with derived emission factors from this study is at least 30–40 %.

The shell is valvatiform with a roundish-ovoid aperture and a sharp outer lip. Species of the genus occur in the Balkan Peninsula, Turkey (Radoman1983), Italy (Cossigniani 1995), France (Falkner et al. 2002) and Spain (Bank & Neubert 2018). The species of Islamia are usually endmic to their type locality. Thus we daresay that the Islamia from Morocco is a new species.

description: Frankincense is an important tree resin that provides a livelihood in the semi-arid lower highlands of East Africa. In the absence of sustainable management strategies, Boswellia papyrifera trees were being overexploited, leading to a depletion of genetic diversity, affected by pests and diseases, failure in natural regeneration, and hence a subsequent decline in socio-ecological benefits obtained from the species. We studied the impact of (i) continuous resin tapping without resting years and (ii) tapping or wonding intensity for frankincence production on the prevalence of longhorn beetle (Idactus spinipennis Gahan, Cerambycidae (sub family Lamiinae) damage in northern Ethiopia. We found that continuous resin tapping for frankincense harvest without adequate resting period made trees more vulnerable to longhorn beetle damage (P < 0.05). Trees rested for 10 and more years from resin tapping had less beetle damage occurrence than those tapped continuously (P < 0.05). Stem tapping intensity of more than 12 wounds per tree in one frankincense harvesting season caused high longhorn beetle damage incidence in Central Tigray (up to 90%) and Western Tigray (up to 80%). We recommend that B. papyrifera trees should have a resting period of at least 3 years and more after one year of continuous tapping. Depending on the size of a tree, wounding for frankincense harvest should be restricted to less than 12 wounds per tree. These measures would help the species develop resistance to longhorn beetle attack and maintain a healthy population for sustainable provision of ecosystem services including frankincense production in the dryalnds of northern Ethiopia.

Keeping Time: On Museum, Temporality and Heterotopia

Publisher: name: Archetype Publications

description: Are museums loci of fossilised objects, deprived of their initial vitality and immediacy of life? What kind of time governs the western museum culture, and how does it relate to the time of conservation and its object? And how does the temporal logic of museums and structures of keeping and care impact the artworks’ identity? This paper offers an excursion into the temporal concepts underpinning the system of collecting, musealising and conserving works of art. Drawing on several ideas of continental philosophers and authors concerned with the theme of museums both as sites of revival and death, I interrogate the museum’s alleged capability of keeping time. I further purport that recent art – including the dispositive of performance, event and media – subverts the idea of fixity and stasis that for decades underlined the logic of collections. How does art matter in these temporal constellations and how is this mattering always already temporal?

Drawing on brand relationship theory and global/local branding literature, the present research theorizes on how perceived brand globalness and localness influence consumer-brand relationship building and discusses how these influences vary for brands of domestic versus foreign origin. Two studies in mature and emerging markets, using several brands across multiple product categories, reveal that both perceived brand globalness and localness have positive effects on consumer-brand identification. These effects (1) hold in both mature and emerging market settings, (2) are independent of brand quality assessments, (3) interact in a mutually-reinforcing way, and (4) are moderated by brand origin in a substitutional manner indicating that the relational effects of brand localness (globalness) are stronger for foreign (domestic) than for domestic (foreign) brands.

The new architects: Brazil, China, and innovation in multilateral development lending

description: Recent academic works have shed light upon the motives and negotiation dynamics leading to the creation of the New Development Bank (NDB) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). We know less about their day-to-day activities and if (and if so why) they are being innovative in the field of multilateral development lending. This article evaluates novelty in the two banks. It uncovers and suggests an explanation to the puzzle of why the NDB appears more innovative (in terms of institutional design, staffing, and lending policy guidelines) than the AIIB by exploring the cases of China and Brazil. The two countries played central roles in the set-up of each the AIIB and NDB. Drawing on extensive field research, the article proposes that their preferences and capability to engage in institutional innovation depend on interests, status, economic power, and regulatory capacity.

description: Background: In mediation analysis if unmeasured confounding is present, the estimates for the direct and mediated effects may be over or under estimated. Most methods for the sensitivity analysis of unmeasured confounding in mediation have focused on the mediator-outcome relationship. Results: The Umediation R package enables the user to simulate unmeasured confounding of the exposure-mediator, exposure-outcome, and mediator-outcome relationships in order to see how the results of the mediation analysis would change in the presence of unmeasured confounding. We apply the Umediation package to the Genetic Epidemiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPDGene) study to examine the role of unmeasured confounding due to population stratification on the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CHRNA5/3/B4 locus on pulmonary function decline as mediated by cigarette smoking. Conclusions: Umediation is a flexible R package that examines the role of unmeasured confounding in mediation analysis allowing for normally distributed or Bernoulli distributed exposures, outcomes, mediators, measured confounders, and unmeasured confounders. Umediation also accommodates multiple measured confounders, multiple unmeasured confounders, and allows for a mediator-exposure interaction on the outcome. Umediation is available as an R package at https://github.com/SharonLutz/UmediationA tutorial on how to install and use the Umediation package is available in the Additional file 1.

Speech-based Documentation in Emergency Medical Services with the Electronic Language Interface for Ambulance Services

description: Emergency medical services (EMS) assume a leading role in case of an emergency: They provide the professional preclinical care on site and decide on the further treatment of the patient. In order to trace the treatment process of the patient after a rescue operation, information such as drug administration are documented in an operation protocol. Such documentation is often done following the rescue operation. Due to the high psychological strain and stress, the retrospective documentation is error-prone. In Switzerland, about 80% of EMS use paper-based protocols. While electronic protocols ensure data sharing to third-party systems, no process improvements are guaranteed. In a Wizard-of-Oz experiment with speculative design, we investigated how media can support paramedics in the documentation process. Since voice records were evaluated as a promising tool in that study, ELIAS, the Electronic Language Interface for Ambulance Services was developed. ELIAS is based on a digital emergency protocol and allows paramedics to use a speech-based user interface to document measurements at the time when they are performed. We run tests to study the word error rate during transcription in different settings. Furthermore, an analysis with ambient noise has been performed. The results let us conclude that once implemented in daily practice, ELIAS has the potential of increasing the semantic and time-related accuracy of emergency protocol data.
