description: We present a spectral analysis of the e+e- annihilation emission from the Galactic Centre region based on the first year of measurements made with the spectrometer SPI of the INTEGRAL mission. We have found that the annihilation spectrum can be modelled by the sum of a narrow and a broad 511 keV line plus an ortho-Ps continuum. The broad line is detected with a flux of (0.35+/-0.11)e-3 s-1 cm-2. The measured width of 5.4+/-1.2 keV FWHM is in agreement with the expected broadening of 511 keV photons emitted in the annihilation of Ps that are formed by the charge exchange process of slowing down positrons with H atoms. The flux of the narrow line is (0.72+/-0.12)e-3 s-1 cm-2 and its width is 1.3+/-0.4 keV FWHM. The measured ortho-Ps continuum flux yields a fraction of Ps of (96.7+/-2.2)%. To derive in what phase of the interstellar medium positrons annihilate, we have fitted annihilation models calculated for each phase to the data. We have found that 49(+2,-23)% of the annihilation emission comes from the warm neutral phase and 51(+3,-2)% from the warm ionized phase. While we may not exclude that less than 23% of the emission might come from cold gas, we have constrained the fraction of annihilation emission from molecular clouds and hot gas to be less than 8% and 0.5%, respectively. We have compared our knowledge of the interstellar medium in the bulge and the propagation of positrons with our results and found that they are in good agreement if the sources are diffusively distributed and if the initial kinetic energy of positrons is lower than a few MeV. Despite its large filling factor, the lack of annihilation emission from the hot gas is due to its low density, which allows positrons to escape this phase.

description: The current study used the Heckman two-stage model to analyze the influences of chronic and acute diseases on the agricultural labor participation and time input of middle aged and older rural populations. The data was based on the mid-aged and older rural people from national baseline survey in China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 and 2013. Results indicated that chronic diseases did not have an influence on the participation of mid-aged and older people in agriculture, but labor time was decreased. Acute diseases decreased both labor time and probability of participation.

description: The rift can heal with the help of interfaith dialogue anchored in a deep understanding of Islam’s two contrasting views on Jews and Judaism. »It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.« This opening line of Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities is germane to the state of Jewish-Arab relations this year. This has been a period in which, on the international level, Israel and a number of Arab nations established formal relations, and on the internal level, Israel’s Arab minority seemed to be heading towards full integration within society. Israeli Arabs garnered respect and appreciation for their prominent role in combating COVID and by their outpouring of empathy and tangible support in response to the tragedy at Meron. Suddenly, now, this has all been overshadowed by extensive rioting and attacks against Jews, the burning of homes and synagogues, and the firing of thousands of missiles from Gaza. This turnabout has left many bewildered, searching for a way to integrate these contradictory realities and asking what this tells us about the future. [...]

description: If the sterile neutrino mass matrix in an otherwise conventional seesaw model has a rank less than the number of flavors, it is possible to produce pseudo-Dirac neutrinos. In a two-flavor, sterile rank 1 case, we demonstrate analytic conditions for large active mixing induced by the existence of (and coupling to) the sterile neutrino components. For the three-flavor, rank 1 case, ``3+2'' scenarios with large mixing also devolve naturally as we show by numerical examples. We observe that, in this approach, small mass differences can develop naturally without any requirement that masses themselves are small. Additionally, we show that significant three channel mixing and limited experimental resolution can combine to produce extracted two channel mixing parameters at variance with the actual values.

description: It is well known that, among closed spherical Seifert three-manifolds, only lens spaces and prism manifolds admit several Seifert fibrations which are not equivalent up to diffeomorphism. Moreover the former admit infinitely many fibrations, and the latter exactly two. In this work, we analyse the non-uniqueness phenomenon for orbifold Seifert fibrations. For any closed spherical Seifert three-orbifold, we determine the number of its inequivalent fibrations. When these are in a finite number (in fact, at most three) we provide a complete list. In case of infinitely many fibrations, we describe instead an algorithmic procedure to determine whether two closed spherical Seifert orbifolds are diffeomorphic.

description: $ $In this paper we present a systematic treatment for fundamental renormalization of quantum electrodynamics in real space. Although the standard renormalization is an old school problem in this case, it has not yet been completely done in position space. The most important difference with well-known differential renormalization is that we do the whole procedure in coordinate space without need to transformation to momentum space. Specially, we directly derive the conterterms in real space. This problem becomes important when the translational symmetry of the system breaks somehow explicitly (for example by nontrivial boundary condition (BC) on the fields). In this case, one is not able to move to momentum space by a simple Fourier transformation. Therefore, in the context of renormalized perturbation theory, by imposing the renormalization conditions, counterterms in coordinate space will depend directly on the fields BCs (or background topology). Trivial BC or trivial background lead to the usual standard conterterms. If the counterterms modify then the quantum corrections of any physical quantity are different from those in free space where we have the translational invariance. We also show that, up to order $α$, our counterterms are reduced to usual standard terms derived in free space.

No previously unclaimed features are found. We also discuss the significance of lines sets reportedly discovered using XMM data for GRB011211 and GRB030227. We find that these features are likely of modest, though not negligible, significance.

title: What Counts as Happiness for Young People in the Second Decade of the 21st Century? An Exploration
Creators: name: Sutton, Cordelia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: Empirical research on adults’ happiness is growing. However, research on children’s and young people’s happiness is limited, and has been dominated by adult-led, quantitative studies that emphasise measuring happiness for social comparison and indicators of progress. However, such approaches assume that happiness is the same for everyone, and do not allow for children’s own perspectives of happiness. My PhD thesis has provided a critical new insight into young people’s happiness, using a qualitative approach to allow young people to explore aspects of what happiness means for them. Data was collected in three phases with 42 young people aged 13-16 from a large, multicultural school in South Central England. I devised a new method of “happiness maps”, inviting young people to consider what aspects of their lives they associated with happiness, plotting these on their happiness maps within a series of concentric circles designed to indicate their relative significance. Family members, friends, music, food, sport and pets were the most frequently mentioned aspects within a wide and varied conceptualisation of happiness. However, relationships with family and friends contributed to young people’s happiness and unhappiness. Follow-up discussion groups and individual interviews further explored the meanings the young people attached to happiness, how important happiness was to them, and how they understood how their happiness changed over time. I analysed the data using broad principles of constructivist grounded theory. New findings from my study revealed that happiness was individually variable, complex, and needs to be understood within the context of young people’s lives. Discussion of happiness encompassed unhappiness, which is absent from many existing models. Young people indicated that they felt under pressure to be happy. Importantly, in some cases, the pressure to be happy resulted in pretending to be happy to assuage the concerns of others, despite considerable emotional cost to themselves.

description: We study positions of chiral hinge states in higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) with inversion symmetry. First, we exhaust all possible configurations of the hinge states in the HOTIs in all type-I magnetic space groups with inversion symmetry by studying dependence of the sign of the surface Dirac mass on surface orientations. In particular, in the presence of glide symmetry, for particular surface orientations, the surface Dirac mass changes sign by changing the surface terminations. By applying this result to a layered antiferromagnet (AFM), we find a difference in the hinge states between the cases with an even and odd number of layers. In the case of an even number of layers, which does not preserve inversion symmetry, positions of hinge states are not inversion symmetric. Nonetheless, these inversion-asymmetric hinge states result from the bulk topology. We show that their inversion-asymmetric configurations are uniquely determined from the symmetries and the topological invariant.

The role of SHIP in macrophage differentiation and function
Creators: name: Rauh, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The SH2 containing inositol 5'-phosphatase (SHIP) is a hemopoieticspecific protein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-generated second messenger PI-3,4,5-P₃ (PIP₃), to PI-3,4-P₂ (PIP₂) and thereby negatively regulates hemopoietic cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and activation. Herein, macrophage development and function were compared in SHIP+/+ and -/- mice. SHIP was found to restrain in vitro bone marrowderived macrophage (BMMφ) survival (or proliferation) and differentiation, consistent with the increased number of macrophages observed in SHIP-/- mice. We also compared the function of J2 virus-transformed SHIP+/+ and -/- BMMφ cell lines and found that SHIP-/- J2M BMMφ cell lines (-/-J2Ms) were functionally impaired in inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) induction and high-output NO production, an important, classical (M1) macrophage activation strategy to combat the growth of tumours and microorganisms. This was ascribed to deficient nuclear localization of IRF1 and inhibition of iNOS transcription in these transformed macrophages. In contrast, primary SHIP-/- BMMφs routinely demonstrated enhanced LPS-stimulated iNOS/NO induction, likely as a result of PI3K-mediated enhancement of the p70S6K/IFNβ/Stat1/iNOS pathway. Differential impacts upon this axis also provided an explanation for the opposite effects of the PI3K inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin, on iNOS/NO. We also found that SHIP-/- BMMφs failed to tolerize to a second dose of LPS, likely because SHIP protein levels were upregulated in wild-type BMMφs in an autocrine-acting, TGF(3-mediated tolerance loop. Analysis of in vivo-differentiated, resident peritoneal and alveolar macrophages (PMφs, AMφs) from SHIP-/- mice revealed impaired NO generation, despite sufficient iNOS induction, due to constitutive arginase Imediated L-arginine substrate competition, which redirected L-arginine metabolism away from cytotoxic NO and towards the production of healing/inflammation-resolving intermediates. These and other features were recognized as alternative (M2) macrophage activation. Consistent with pathological M2-skewing in SHIP-/- mice, their lungs were fibrotic and contained macrophage-associated Ym1 crystals. Moreover, implanted tumours grew more rapidly in the M2-skewed environment of SHIP-/- mice. Interestingly, BMMφs from SHIP-/- mice did not display this M2 phenotype unless exposed to TGF(3- containing mouse plasma early during in vitro differentiation, suggesting that an environment of elevated PIP₃ and TGFβ arising during in vivo macrophage differentiation may contribute to M2-skewing.

description: We present an inference of the nuclear symmetry energy magnitude $J$, the slope $L$ and the curvature $K_{\rm sym}$ by combining neutron skin data on Ca, Pb and Sn isotopes and our best theoretical information about pure neutron matter (PNM). A Bayesian framework is used to consistently incorporate prior knowledge of the PNM equation of state from chiral effective field theory calculations. Neutron skins are modeled in a Hartree-Fock approach using an extended Skyrme energy-density functional which allows for independent variation of $J$, $L$ and $K_{\rm sym}$ without affecting the symmetric nuclear matter equation of state. We discuss the choice of neutron skin data sets, and combining errors in quadrature we obtain 95\% credible values of $J=31.3\substack{+4.2 \\ -5.9}$ MeV, $L=40\substack{+34 \\ -26}$ MeV and $K_τ = L - 6K_{\rm sym}= -444\substack{+100 \\ -84}$ MeV using uninformative priors in $J$, $L$ and $K_{\rm sym}$, and $J=31.9\substack{+1.3 \\ -1.3}$ MeV, $L=37\substack{+9 \\ -8}$ MeV and $K_τ = -480\substack{+25 \\ -26}$ MeV using PNM priors. The correlations between symmetry energy parameters induced by neutron skin data is discussed and compared with the droplet model. Neutron skin data alone is shown to place limits on the symmetry energy parameters as stringent as those obtained from chiral effective field theory alone, and when combined the 95\% credible intervals are reduced by a factor of 4-5. Ahead of new measurements of lead and calcium neutron skins from parity-violating electron scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab and Mainz Superconducting Accelerator, we make predictions based on existing data on neutron skins of tin for the neutron skins of calcium and lead of 0.166$\pm$0.008 fm and $0.169 \pm 0.014$ fm respectively, using uninformative priors, and 0.167$\pm$0.008 fm and $0.172 \pm 0.015$ fm respectively, using PNM priors.

description: An acceleration in the growth of communications bandwidth in use and a rapid reduction in bandwidth prices have not accompanied the U.S. economy's strong performance in the second half of the 1990s. Overall U.S. bandwidth in use has grown robustly throughout the 1990s, but growth has not significantly accelerated in the second half of 1990s. Average prices for U.S. bandwidth in use have fallen little in nominal terms in the second half of the 1990s. Policy makers and policy analysts should recognize that institutional change, rather than more competitors of established types, appears to be key to dramatic improvements in bandwidth growth and prices. Such a development could provide a significant additional impetus to aggregate growth and productivity.

description: Radio pulsar signals are significantly perturbed by their propagation through the ionized interstellar medium. In addition to the frequency-dependent pulse times of arrival due to dispersion, pulse shapes are also distorted and shifted, having been scattered by the inhomogeneous interstellar plasma, affecting pulse arrival times. Understanding the degree to which scattering affects pulsar timing is important for gravitational wave detection with pulsar timing arrays (PTAs), which depend on the reliability of pulsars as stable clocks with an uncertainty of ~100ns or less over ~10yr or more. Scattering can be described as a convolution of the intrinsic pulse shape with an impulse response function representing the effects of multipath propagation. In previous studies, the technique of cyclic spectroscopy has been applied to pulsar signals to deconvolve the effects of scattering from the original emitted signals. We present an analysis of simulated data to test the quality of deconvolution using cyclic spectroscopy over a range of parameters characterizing interstellar scattering and pulsar signal-to-noise ratio. We show that cyclic spectroscopy is most effective for high-S/N and/or highly scattered pulsars. We conclude that cyclic spectroscopy could play an important role in scattering correction to distant populations of highly scattered pulsars not currently included in PTAs. For future telescopes and for current instruments such as the Green Bank Telescope upgraded with the ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) receiver, cyclic spectroscopy could potentially double the number of PTA-quality pulsars.

description: We develop a novel spatial-dynamic model of landowners managing a disease in a perennial crop. We use the model to investigate the dynamic gains from cooperation to address the spatial externality resulting from disease vector dispersal. We find that solving for the complete time path of control decisions is important; cooperation leads to each landowner investing more in treatment in early years than in cases where one agent free rides on the other’s control. Our model is based on Pierce’s Disease of grapevines in California’s Napa Valley but is applicable to a range of diseases in perennial crops.

Cosmological signatures of torsion and how to distinguish torsion from the dark sector

description: Torsion is a non-Riemannian geometrical extension of general relativity that allows including the spin of matter and the twisting of spacetime. Cosmological models with torsion have been considered in the literature to solve problems of either the very early (high redshift $z$) or the present-day Universe. This paper focuses on distinguishable observational signatures of torsion that could not be otherwise explained with a scalar field in pseudo-Riemannian geometry. We show that when torsion is present, the cosmic duality relation between the angular diameter distance, $D_{\mathrm A}$, and the luminosity distance, $D_{\mathrm L}$, is broken. We show how the deviation described by the parameter $η= D_{\mathrm L}/[ D_{\mathrm A}(1+z)^2] -1 $ is linked to torsion and how different forms of torsion lead to special-case parametrisations of $η$, including $η_0 z$, $η_0 z/(1+z)$, and $η_0 \ln (1+z)$. We also show that the effects of torsion could be visible in low-redshift data, inducing biases in supernovae-based $H_0$ measurements. We also show that torsion can impact the Clarkson-Bassett-Lu (CBL) function ${\cal C}(z) = 1 + H^2 (D D'' - D'^2) + H H' D D'$, where $D$ is the transverse comoving distance. If $D$ is inferred from the luminosity distance, then, in general non-zero torsion models, ${\cal C}(z) \ne 0$. For pseudo-Riemannian geometry, the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric has ${\cal C}(z) \equiv 0$; thus, measurement of the CBL function could provide another diagnostic of torsion.

User interfaces (Computer systems)
Minimal design
Accessibility

description: Many business-to-business (B2B) design systems influence designers to use outdated patterns and designs with predefined layouts or elements. These patterns include the arrangement of interface elements like buttons and text fields and how they look visually, which leads to an unoptimized user experience (UX) and a less visually appealing user interface (UI). B2B interfaces are complex because they deal with much information. They have many functional elements that may not be necessary for the user to achieve their task. Most B2B interfaces look outdated as they do not use the current visual design language. The interface elements are inaccessible to the eye as they have heavy and reflective buttons, dark shadows, heavy edges, and sharp corners. This thesis study focuses on understanding designers' constraints while designing B2B interfaces using B2B UI design systems. It also aims to take steps toward solving it and enabling designers to make better products by being more creative in creating unique design solutions for distinct use cases. It will help users achieve product tasks faster, improving work completion efficiency. Alongside the complexities of B2B solutions, this study also explores the importance of minimalism in designing B2B experiences and interfaces. Various research methods, including co-design, surveys, and participatory user interviews, and my industry experience in B2B UX and UI design inform this study.

Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory for odd-mass nuclei with a time-odd constraint and application to deformed halo nuclei

description: We show that the lowest-energy solution of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equation has the even particle-number parity as long as the time-reversal symmetry is conserved in the HFB Hamiltonian without null eigenvalues. Based on this finding, we give a rigorous foundation of a method for solving the HFB equation to describe the ground state of odd-mass nuclei by employing a time-reversal anti-symmetric constraint operator to the Hamiltonian, where one obtains directly the ground state as a self-consistent solution of the cranked-HFB-type equation. Numerical analysis is done for the neutron-rich Mg isotopes with a reasonable choice for the operator, and it is demonstrated that the anomalous increase in the matter radius of $^{37}$Mg is well described when the last neutron occupies a low angular-momentum orbital in the framework of the nuclear energy-density-functional method, revealing the deformed halo structure.

Wie im Himmel, so auf Erden. Rabbinisch-benediktinische Psalmen-Betrachtung zu Psalm 19

Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext

description: Die Psalmenauswahl (Psuke de Simra) für das jüdische Morgengebet am Schabbat beginnt mit Psalm 19. Als Lob des Schöpfers passt der Psalm sowohl zum Morgen, an dem die Schöpfung täglich in neuem Licht erscheint, wie zum Schabbat, der die Vollendung der Schöpfung »von Himmel und Erde und all ihr[em] Heer« feiert (vgl. Gen 2,1f., Ex 20,11). Im Morgengebet ist es nicht das einzige Schöpferlob, vielmehr geht dem Glaubensbekenntnis eine ganze Reihe von ähnlichen Schöpfungs-Hymnen (Jozrot) voran. Schöpfungshymne und Sonnengesang Psalm 19 kann buchstäblich als Schöpfungs-Hymne bezeichnet werden, denn der Schöpfer und seine Werke werden nicht besungen, sondern die Geschöpfe selbst stimmen das Lob des Schöpfers an. Obwohl kein Ton fällt, versteht es doch die ganze Welt. Die Himmelskörper legen beredtes Zeugnis vom Schöpfer ab, in regelmäßigen Umlaufbahnen schreiben sie nachts mit Kreide aus Licht ihr Lob auf die schwarze Tafel des Himmels. Und zum kosmischen Morgengebet: »Dem Sonnenball hat er am Himmel ein Zelt gewiesen /aus dem er geht wie ein Bräutigam aus seinem Brautgemach, und sich freut wie ein starker Held auf seiner Siegesbahn. Am einen Ende des Himmels geht er auf, und kreist bis ans andere Ende, nichts kann sich vor seiner Glut verbergen« (V. 5-7). [...]

Bone-conduction auditory steady-state responses
Creators: name: Small, Susan Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this dissertation was to determine whether multiple auditory-state responses (ASSRs) to bone-conduction stimuli can be used to investigate bone-conduction hearing, an essential part of any audiometric assessment. Infant bone-conduction testing methods, maturation of bone-conduction hearing, and ipsilateral/contralateral asymmetries in ASSRs were also assessed. The results show that bone-conduction ASSRs can be used to estimate thresholds in infants and adults with normal hearing. It was also found that choice of electroencephalogram (EEG) conditioning and processing can avoid spurious ASSRs due to aliasing. Non-auditory ASSRs (probably vestibular and indistinguishable from an auditory response) were also identified for high-intensity air-conduction stimuli (problematic when diagnosing residual hearing). Investigation of infant testing methods on bone-conduction threshold shows that: (i) bone-oscillator coupling method (elastic-band vs. hand-held) has no effect on threshold, (ii) use of different oscillator locations on the temporal bone does not affect threshold but a forehead placement results in elevated thresholds, and (iii) infants do not appear to have an occlusion effect (thus one can can assess with or without earphones). Young infants have much better low-frequency bone-conduction hearing compared to adults, which increases with maturation beyond 24 months of age. Infant bone-conduction hearing is slightly poorer in the high frequencies, improving significantly with age only at 2000 Hz. Within all infant groups, low-frequency thresholds are better than high-frequency thresholds; for adults, 500-Hz thresholds are poorer than high frequencies and there is no difference among thresholds above 500 Hz. Bone-conducted signals are much more effective for infants across frequency, especially at low frequencies. Normal levels for bone-conduction hearing in young and older infants are proposed. Ipsilateral/contralateral asymmetries in air- and bone-conduction ASSRs are clearly present more often and are larger in infants compared to adults, and suggest that most infants have 10-30 dB of interaural attenuation. These asymmetries have potential as a clinical tool for isolating the cochlea that is contributing to the response in infants. The results of these studies indicate that infants can now be screened for normal bone-conduction hearing with ASSRs; however, infants with hearing loss must be tested before elevated bone-conduction ASSRs thresholds can be interpreted.

description: Die Schüler der Madame Anne (Les héritiers), 2014, 105 Minuten Eine engagierte Lehrerin trifft auf eine Klasse in einem sozialen Brennpunkt, die innerhalb der Schule schon fast aufgegeben ist. Diese Grundkonstellation ist das Grundmotiv gleich zweier Filme, die auf wahren Begebenheiten basieren. In dem US-Film Freedom Writers steht dabei stärker das Umfeld der Schüler_innen mit Bandenkriegen und ethnischen Konflikten im Mittelpunkt, wobei die Lehrerin das Vertrauen der Schüler_innen dadurch gewinnt, indem sie glaubhaft signalisiert, an den extremen Erfahrungen der Schüler_innen interessiert zu sein – praktisch jede_r von ihnen hat bereits Opfer im Bandenkrieg zu beklagen. In der Klasse entsteht ein fragiler Schutzraum, der einigen Schüler_innen den Ausstieg aus den gewalthaltigen Teufelskreisen ermöglicht. [...]

description: With the gaming industry's incredible evolution, there is an emergent need to balance player engagement with well-being. The “Good-Game, Well-Played” design research navigates the nuances of ethical game design, aspiring for harmony between deep immersion, reality, and players’ holistic health. Insights drawn from surveys with game designers and in-depth Q sessions on Reddit reveal the ethical dilemma: while player retention remains their top priority, there's heightened cognizance about the ethical ramifications of specific game strategies and mechanics. These discussions also revealed underlying anthropological conditioning regarding game design standards and ethical responsibility. This design research identifies four potential pathways to apply ethical design practices in the games industry through marketplaces, policy rating boards, game systems, and self-regulation. Furthermore, the explorations hone into the power of game systems and narratives as a medium to bridge player engagement and player well-being. By conceptualizing and prototyping the integration of positive game mechanics through narrative elements into popular online game titles, this research offers an unconventional blueprint for future game designs that actively prioritize both, captivating gameplay and player welfare rather than an afterthought. The thesis adopts a conversational tone in its writing style, engaging creatively with its audience of game designers, developers, and gamers, fostering a dialogue that bridges professional insights with the lived experiences of the gaming community.

description: The relationship between quantum entanglement and classical impropriety is considered in the context of multi-modal squeezed states of light. Replacing operators with complex Gaussian random variables in the Bogoliubov transformations for squeezed states, we find that the resulting transformed variables are not only correlated but also improper. A simple threshold exceedance model of photon detection is considered and used to demonstrate how the behavior of improper Gaussian random variables can mimic that of entangled photon pairs when coincidence post-selection is performed.

description: Es hat mich sehr bewegt, als Bernd Göller vorgeschlagen hatte, dass ich an den Festtagen zur Eröffnung der Ehemaligen Synagoge hier in Heinsheim teilnehmen sollte, und ich bin für die Einladung, hier sprechen zu dürfen, sehr dankbar. Die Realisierung dieses Projekts besitzt eine große Bedeutung, auch für mich persönlich. Es ist nicht nur Ausdruck der Erinnerung an die hiesigen jüdischen Gemeinden, die in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren ausgelöscht wurden; es ist auch ein Ausdruck des Engagements und der langjährigen Arbeit vieler Bürger und ihres Bestrebens, die widersprüchliche Geschichte dieser Region anzuerkennen und ihr eine physische Gestalt zu geben. Die Synagoge Heinsheim hat eine lange Geschichte, die jüdische Gemeinde im Kraichgau eine noch längere. Schon im 16. Jahrhundert wohnten hier Juden, und vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zum November 1937, als die jüdische Gemeinde in Heinsheim aufgelöst wurde, war dieses Haus ein Zentrum des hiesigen jüdischen Lebens. Die Geschichte dieses Hauses ist also sowohl mit den Hoffnungen als auch mit der Gewalt verbunden, die das Leben vieler Menschen in dieser Region prägten. [...]
