description: The following paper examines the requirements of simulating post-conflict peace-building. In particular two NATO simulation tools, named ZETA and GAMMA, are the objects of investigation. The question is to which degree these tools are able to simulate the reconstruction of war torn countries and how they can be adapted to the needs of post-conflict situations. This seems to be of interest due to the changing role of NATO. The first part of the paper tries to create a criteria for evaluation. The central categories of post-conflict peace-building are identified and combined with the lessons learned from completed or ongoing peace-building missions. Eleven core findings are identified and rephrased into requirements. In the second part, these and requirements are compared with the tools under two different aspects: to which degree a simulation is generally possible and how many of the requirements can be fulfilled by the existing scenarios. The research comes to the conclusion that ZETA fulfils the general requirements for post-conflict peace-building simulation to a high degree. Only the linearity and the missing possibility to simulate more than one external actor are missing. The ZETA scenario already includes many of the required elements. However, coordination, the correct assessment of the time dimension and the missing dilemmas were criticized. Although GAMMA can not be used to simulate all aspects of peace-building and although behavioural change is not implemented, GAMMA seems well equipped to simulate important aspects of peace-building: security, coordination and the context-factors are easily implementable. The studied scenario did unfortunately not contain many peace-building elements. The paper comes to the conclusion that the most challenging task of future research to design functioning scenarios, may it be for the planning of missions, for the training of peace-builders or for the analysis and explanation for problems in ongoing missions, would be the development of methods and approaches to identify the important factors and agents, and to quantify their value inside the tools.

description: This is a scanned copy of a line intercept in Langeberg, site 3321CC/10. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: The following paper examines the causes and factors which in recent years have led to the establishment of several peace studies courses in Germany and discusses the impacts and consequences of this development. First of all, the paper describes the formation of peace teaching from the 1970s on. At this time, it was conducted only by some professors and from the 1980s on within academic circles of the peace movement. However, it was not structurally fixed at the universities. In the main section, the paper analyses the development of peace studies courses from the mid-1990s. Within this process, two key factors are stressed: the nationwide implementation of the two-stage study structure within the framework of the Bologna Process on the one hand, and the stepwise and long lasting strategic development of teaching locations through the utilization of political and scientific opportunity structures on the other hand. Further factors are presented: After the end of the Cold War, the nationwide policy to support peace studies improved, peace studies were focusing on new conflicts and suitable labor markets for graduates emerged. The paper then brings forward the argument that within the framework of study programs the objectives, contents, methods and organization of learning and teaching peace were curricularly justified and fixed for the first time. It is shown that the organizational institutionalization of teaching peace in the form of study programs implies a higher level of institutionalization compared to the personal-dependent institutionalization of the past. Once established, study programs function relatively independent from subjective and political interests.

Alterations in striato-thalamo-pallidal intrinsic functional connectivity as a prodrome of Parkinson's disease

description: Although the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains anchored around the cardinal motor symptoms of bradykinesia, rest tremor, rigidity and postural instability, it is becoming increasingly clear that the clinical phase of the disease is preceded by a long period of neurodegeneration, which is not readily evident in terms of motor dysfunction. The neurobiological mechanisms that underpin this prodromal phase of PD remain poorly understood. Based on converging evidence of basal ganglia (BG) dysfunction in early PD, we set out to establish whether the prodromal phase of the disease is characterized by alterations in functional communication within the input and output structures of the BG. We analyzed resting-state functional MRI data collected from patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and/or hyposmia, two of the strongest markers of prodromal PD, in comparison to age-matched controls. Relative to controls, subjects in the prodromal group showed reduced intra- and interhemispheric functional connectivity in a striato-thalamo-pallidal network. Functional connectivity alterations were restricted to the BG and did not extend to functional connections with the cortex. The data suggest that local interactions between input and output BG structures may be disrupted already in the prodromal phase of PD.

description: Sierra Leone recently attracted significant inflows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in export-oriented mining and agribusiness. These investments have usually involved large-scale land deals with local communities that have been facilitated and brokered by government officials, local politicians, and paramount chiefs. Affected people and communities were supposed to receive compensations for lost land and, in addition, they expected to find gainful employment opportunities with multinational companies. But they have often seen little of the FDI-driven development that they had expected and that had been promised to them. Based on available studies and my own field research, this paper will describe and discuss impacts, conflicts, and security concerns related to foreign investment in mining and agribusiness in Sierra Leone. Through these descriptions and discussions I hope to offer a disconcerting perspective into the uncertainties and ambiguities of FDI-driven development in Sierra Leone ‒ a “development” that has often brought no tangible betterment for affected people and communities but rather confirmed and even escalated experiences of marginalization and disappointment.

description: The continuing changing nature of conflict and violence in the past two decades, coupled with a decrease in financial resources, catapulted preventive diplomacy to the international community’s security agenda. If originally the preventive diplomacy doctrine aimed at the short-term goal of preventing violence or conflict escalation, today it has come to encompass tasks aimed at resolving the underlying issues that cause and fuel conflict. In parallel – promptly deployable and cost-effective – mediation has become a more and more sophisticated and increasingly deployed instrument of preventive diplomacy. However, there is no consensus in the literature on how high-level mediation serves preventive diplomacy goals. The question of whether preventing conflict means to prevent the onset of (armed) violence in conflict, or whether it makes sense to talk about violence prevention at later stages of the conflict’s cycle, permeates the evolution of the preventive diplomacy doctrine and literature and divides opinion in mediation literature. The following literature review aims to offer an understanding on how mediation works as a preventive diplomacy instrument by synthesizing the literature and bridging it with a contemporary understanding of the concept. It does so through a parallel review of the evolution of the concept of preventive diplomacy and its agenda and conflict mediation literary debates on mediation timing, strategy and outcomes in conflict prevention. It concludes, first, that high-level mediation is better equipped and understood as an instrument of preventive, rather than pre-emptive mediation, and denotes that while the preventive diplomacy agenda has expanded, mediation literature has tended to have a narrow view of the extent to which mediation can contribute to preventive diplomacy goals.

description: Forschungsvorhaben zu Themenfeldern wie Konflikt, Postkonflikt, Flucht und Flüchtlingssituationen werden aktuell zunehmend im Zusammenhang mit Feldforschung durchgeführt. Die Arbeit im Feld stellt WissenschaftlerInnen jedoch nicht nur vor vielfältige Herausforderungen, beispielsweise zu Fragen nach dem Feldzugang und der Art und Weise der Durchführung, sondern Forschende können durch ihre Projekte auch Sicherheitsrisiken für die Teilnehmenden hervorrufen oder sich selbst in Gefahren bringen. Diese und weitere Aspekte werden im Rahmen forschungsethischer Überlegungen vor, während und nach der Feldforschung reflektiert. In diesem Beitrag werden entlang einschlägiger Debatten in den Sozialwissenschaften, der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung sowie insbesondere der Zwangsmigrations- und Flüchtlingsforschung drei Rahmenpunkte diskutiert: Schadensminimierung und Do No Harm, Verbindungen und Verantwortungen von Forschenden und Teilnehmenden sowie Maßnahmen im Umgang mit den erhobenen Daten. Anhand diverser Beispiele wird argumentiert, dass Forschungsethik zentral für die Durchführung von Feldforschung, die Minimierung möglicher Schäden sowie die Qualität der Forschungsarbeit ist, sodass es einer systematischen Berücksichtigung forschungsethischer Aspekte bedarf.

 Range:— Mexico to Bolivia (CH?, LP, SC), and the Guianas to Brazil and Argentina.
 Ecology:— Uncommon; terrestrial in semihumid to dry forests, often on rocky slopes; 500 – 2000 m.
 Notes:— Similar to Anemia oblongifolia (Cav.) Sw., under which it has historically been subsumed. Anemia oblongifolia is now accorded a range from Honduras to Panama, Colombia to Guyana, and Brazil, and is not known from Bolivia (Mickel 2016). The outer sterile leaves of A. humilis often have very short petioles and form a rosette. Anemia presliana Prantl was treated by Mickel (2016) as occurring in Bolivia, and distinct from A. humilis, and A. presliana has approximately the same range. Specimens determined as A. presliana from Bolivia by Mickel (e.g., Buchtien 7023, UC; Mickel cited Buchtien 2023, UC, probably a typographical error, and from the same locality) seem indistinguishable to us from those determined as A. humilis by Mickel. For now, we exclude A. presliana, the more recent name, from the fern flora of Bolivia.

description: The production of solar fuels has become a topic of great interest in recent years. The focus of this work has been to study a range of photocatalytic materials and assessment of their activity towards solar fuel generation, specifically water splitting coupled with CO2 reduction for CO and H2 production in aqueous solution in the presence of charge scavengers. The materials chosen for study in this project can be split in to two distinct classes: carbon nitrides and metal oxides.

description: In this paper we consider the question of observational signatures of a false vacuum decay event in the early universe followed by a period of inflation; in particular, motivated by the string landscape, we consider decays in which the parent vacuum has a smaller number of large dimensions than the current vacuum, which leads to an anisotropic universe. We go beyond previous studies, and examine the effects on the CMB temperature and polarisation power spectra, due to both scalar and tensor modes, and consider not only late-time effects but also the full cosmological perturbation theory at early times. We find that whilst the scalar mode behaves as one would expect, and the effects of anisotropy at early times are sub-dominant to the late-time effects already studied, for the tensor modes in fact the the early-time effects grow with multipole and can become much larger than one would expect, even dominating over the late-time effects. Thus these effects should be included if one is looking for such a signal in the tensor modes.

description: Mood disorders and behavioral are broad psychiatric diagnostic categories that have different symptoms and neurobiological mechanisms, but share some neurocognitive similarities, one of which is an elevated risk for reading deficit. Our aim was to determine the influence of mood versus behavioral dysregulation on reading ability and neural correlates supporting these skills in youth, using diffusion tensor imaging in 11- to 17-year-old children and youths with mood disorders or behavioral disorders and age-matched healthy controls. The three groups differed only in phonological processing and passage comprehension. Youth with mood disorders scored higher on the phonological test but had lower comprehension scores than children with behavioral disorders and controls; control participants scored the highest. Correlations between fractional anisotropy and phonological processing in the left Arcuate Fasciculus showed a significant difference between groups and were strongest in behavioral disorders, intermediate in mood disorders, and lowest in controls. Correlations between these measures in the left Inferior Longitudinal Fasciculus were significantly greater than in controls for mood but not for behavioral disorders. Youth with mood disorders share a deficit in the executive-limbic pathway (Arcuate Fasciculus) with behavioral-disordered youth, suggesting reduced capacity for engaging frontal regions for phonological processing or passage comprehension tasks and increased reliance on the ventral tract (e.g., the Inferior Longitudinal Fasciculus). The low passage comprehension scores in mood disorder may result from engaging the left hemisphere. Neural pathways for reading differ mainly in executive-limbic circuitry. This new insight may aid clinicians in providing appropriate intervention for each disorder.

description: Major search engines deploy personalized Web results to enhance users' experience, by showing them data supposed to be relevant to their interests. Even if this process may bring benefits to users while browsing, it also raises concerns on the selection of the search results. In particular, users may be unknowingly trapped by search engines in protective information bubbles, called "filter bubbles", which can have the undesired effect of separating users from information that does not fit their preferences. This paper moves from early results on quantification of personalization over Google search query results. Inspired by previous works, we have carried out some experiments consisting of search queries performed by a battery of Google accounts with differently prepared profiles. Matching query results, we quantify the level of personalization, according to topics of the queries and the profile of the accounts. This work reports initial results and it is a first step a for more extensive investigation to measure Web search personalization.

description: We have developed a scanning probe microscopy method for probing the local Seebeck coefficient of individual layers of a thin-film superlattice structure. Development of this method involved modifying an existing scanning tunneling microscope (STM) by inserting a relay switch to connect the STM tip and the sample to an electrometer for measuring the thermovoltage generated by the contact of the STM tip to the warm sample. This method was used to measure the local Seebeck coefficient in each of the 20 layers of a p-type AlAs/GaAs thin-film superlattice. The results show an enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient in the GaAs quantum well layers when compared to the measurement result on a thick GaAs buffer layer with the same doping concentration as in the quantum wells

description: The following Working Paper will contribute to the theoretical discussion about ethnicity and ethnic conflict in general, and in the Rwandan context specifically. It will promote a conception of ethnicity which allows to bridge the opposition between primordial and constructivist approaches commonly found in the scientific discussion. This can be achieved by focussing on the perceptions of social actors, thereby avoiding a superficial analysis of ethnicity and ethnic conflict. This approach assumes ethnicity to be a social category that has been (re)constructed as primordial, meaning that it is constructed to imply a genetically predetermined and fixed parameter. First of all, the case of Rwanda serves to illustrate the opposing approaches that dominate the discussion about ethnicity. The elaboration of the proposed theory will demonstrate the insufficiency of these discussions to grasp the phenomenon of ethnicity. In addition, the theory will show how prior arguments about the question whether speaking of “ethnic conflict” or not missed the point. Therefore, the question whether the Rwandan genocide was an “ethnic conflict” needs to be re-examined. In order to avoid the risk of a superficial analysis of ethnicity and ethnic conflict (in the Rwandan context), the experiences and views of people who witnessed tensions and atrocities based on ethnic affiliation will be taken into account. In order to prevent an essentialisation of ethnicity, which could result from merely describing and taking into account the actual perceptions of actors, the historical origin of the ethnic categories in Rwanda will be traced. On the basis of empirical statements, the contradictions and points of contact between the official narration promoted by scientists and the narration of Rwandans will be demonstrated. Finally, the problems and advantages of the scientific discourse on ethnicity in the Rwandan context will be discussed.

In this vein, the present study sought to investigate how trait anxiety is related to features of the structural connectome in early adolescence. 40 adolescents (21 female, mean age = 13.49 years) underwent a diffusion-weighted imaging scan. We hypothesized that the strength of several a priori defined structural connections would vary with anxious arousal based on previous work in human clinical neuroscience and adult rodent optogenetics. First, connection strength of caudate to rostral middle frontal gyrus was predicted to be anticorrelated with anxious arousal, predicated on extant work in clinically-diagnosed adolescents. Second, connection strength of amygdala to rostral anterior cingulate and to medial orbital frontal cortex would be positively and negatively correlated with anxious arousal, respectively, predicated on rodent optogenetics showing the former pathway is anxiogenic and the latter is anxiolytic. We also predicted that levels of anxiety would not vary with measures of global network topology, based on reported null findings. Results support that anxiety in early adolescence is associated with (1) the clinical biomarker connecting caudate to frontal cortex, and (2) the anxiogenic pathway connecting amygdala to rostral anterior cingulate, both in left but not right hemisphere. Findings support that in early adolescence, anxious arousal may be related to mechanisms that increase anxiogenesis, and not in a deficit in regulatory mechanisms that support anxiolysis.

description: Recent studies have shown that heterosexual college men report unwanted sex at higher rates than one might expect. And yet, college men’s perceptions of unwanted sex with women have been studied infrequently. This study examines how men understand unwanted sex with women and the impact of these experiences. Thirty-nine men, aged 18–25, were interviewed using open-ended questions related to their unwanted sexual experiences. Our findings demonstrate how men frequently minimize unwanted sex by framing it as either funny, unimportant, or something that happens to women. However, we find evidence that men's attempts at minimization are not always successful and that some experiences are indeed upsetting and/or hurtful. Rather than treating all men as a homogeneous category, our analysis details the circumstances associated with more or less troubling experiences. We find that there are particular circumstances (e.g. incapacitation), as well as personal characteristics (e.g. virgin), that position men to be more distressed by unwanted sex. This heterogeneity of men’s experiences explains some, but not all, differences in effects. Our analysis reveals that in experiences described as mild to severe, men talk about unwanted sex in highly contradictory ways. We argue that these contradictions are evidence of broader cognitive and emotional work done by men to convince themselves that unwanted sex does not matter to them. Our findings raise the possibility that when men use hegemonic notions of masculinity to understand their unwanted experiences, these interpretations serve to minimize the emotional damage that men might otherwise report.

description: Recently, transfer learning has been successfully applied in early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) based on multi-domain data. However, most of existing methods only use data from a single auxiliary domain, and thus cannot utilize the intrinsic useful correlation information from multiple domains. Accordingly, in this paper, we consider the joint learning of tasks in multi-auxiliary domains and the target domain, and propose a novel Multi-Domain Transfer Learning (MDTL) framework for early diagnosis of AD. Specifically, the proposed MDTL framework consists of two key components: 1) a multi-domain transfer feature selection (MDTFS) model that selects the most informative feature subset from multi-domain data, and 2) a multidomain transfer classification (MDTC) model that can identify disease status for early AD detection. We evaluate our method on 807 subjects from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database using baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The experimental results show that the proposed MDTL method can effectively utilize multi-auxiliary domain data for improving the learning performance in the target domain, compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

description: The advent of large-scale, complex computing systems has dramatically increased the difficulties of securing accesses to systems' resources. To ensure confidentiality and integrity, the exploitation of access control mechanisms has thus become a crucial issue in the design of modern computing systems. Among the different access control approaches proposed in the last decades, the policy-based one permits to capture, by resorting to the concept of attribute, all systems' security-relevant information and to be, at the same time, sufficiently flexible and expressive to represent the other approaches. In this paper, we move a step further to understand the effectiveness of policy-based specifications by studying how they permit to enforce traditional security properties. To support system designers in developing and maintaining policy-based specifications, we formalise also some relevant properties regarding the structure of policies. By means of a case study from the banking domain, we present real instances of such properties and outline an approach towards their automatised verification.

description: This is a scanned copy of a document on the population dynamics of Leucadendron eucalyptifolium in Grootvadersbosch, Langeberg, site 3320DD/5. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: Aligning reads to a reference sequence is a fundamental step in numerous bioinformatics pipelines. As a consequence, the sensitivity and precision of the mapping tool, applied with certain parameters to certain data, can critically affect the accuracy of produced results (e.g., in variant calling applications). Therefore, there has been an increasing demand of methods for comparing mappers and for measuring effects of their parameters. Read simulators combined with alignment evaluation tools provide the most straightforward way to evaluate and compare mappers. Simulation of reads is accompanied by information about their positions in the source genome. This information is then used to evaluate alignments produced by the mapper. Finally, reports containing statistics of successful read alignments are created. In default of standards for encoding read origins, every evaluation tool has to be made explicitly compatible with the simulator used to generate reads. In order to solve this obstacle, we have created a generic format RNF (Read Naming Format) for assigning read names with encoded information about original positions. Futhermore, we have developed an associated software package RNF containing two principal components. MIShmash applies one of popular read simulating tools (among DwgSim, Art, Mason, CuReSim etc.) and transforms the generated reads into RNF format. LAVEnder evaluates then a given read mapper using simulated reads in RNF format. A special attention is payed to mapping qualities that serve for parametrization of ROC curves, and to evaluation of the effect of read sample contamination.
