description: Durch die neuste Revision des Invalidenversicherungsgesetzes wird die Arbeitsintegration nach Aufhebung einer Invalidenrente in der Schweiz zum Diskussionsthema. Insbesondere Personen mit einer somatoformen Schmerzstörung (organisch nicht hinreichend erklärbare körperliche Schmerzen, ausgelöst durch psychische Belastung) müssen mit einer Überprüfung und eventuellen Aufhebung ihrer Invalidenrente rechnen. Diese Personen nach der Aufhebung der teilweise jahrelangen Invalidenrente wieder in den regulären Arbeitsmarkt einzugliedern, stellt eine grosse Herausforderung dar. Die Bachelor-Arbeit setzt sich mit exakt dieser Thematik auseinander. Sie beleuchtet Bedingungen aus der Perspektive der Arbeitgebenden, die für die Anstellung einer Person mit somatoformer Schmerzstörung erfüllt sein müssen. Den theoretischen Bezugsrahmen bilden die Bedeutung der Erwerbsarbeit, das Krankheitsbild der somatoformen Schmerzstörung und dessen Einfluss auf die Erwerbsfähigkeit, die empirischen Fakten zu Erwerbsarbeit mit Behinderung sowie die verschiedenen Arbeitsintegrationsansätze der Invalidenversicherung. Die leitfadengestützten Befragungen von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen im Kanton Luzern zeigen, dass Arbeitgebende – neben finanziellen Beiträgen – insbesondere fachliche Beratung und Begleitung im Arbeitsintegrationsprozess benötigen. Im Speziellen wird ersichtlich, wie wichtig Information und persönliche Beziehungsarbeit in der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Sozialen Arbeit und den Arbeitgebenden des regulären Arbeitsmarktes sind.

description: The isospin and strangeness dimensions of the Equation of State are explored. RIA and the SIS200 accelerator at GSI will allow to explore these regions in compressed baryonic matter. $^{132}$Sn+$^{132}$Sn and $^{100}$Sn+$^{100}$Sn collisions as well as the excitation functions of $K/π$, $Λ/π$ and the centrality dependence of charmonium suppression from the UrQMD and HSD transport models are presented and compared to data. Unambiguous proof for the creation of a 'novel phase of matter' from strangeness and charm yields is not in sight.

description: We have developed HiNTS, the {\bf Hi}erarchical {\bf N}anoparticle {\bf T}ransport {\bf S}imulator, and adapted it to study commensuration effects in two classes of Nanoparticle (NP) solids: (1) a bilayer NP solid (BNS) with an energy offset, and (2) a BNS as part of a Field-Effect Transistor (FET). HiNTS integrates the ab initio characterization of single NPs with the phonon-assisted tunneling transition model of the NP-NP transitions into a Kinetic Monte Carlo based simulation of the charge transport in NP solids. First, we studied a BNS with an inter-layer energy offset $Δ$, possibly caused by a fixed electric field. Our results include the following. (1) In the independent energy-offset model, we observed the emergence of commensuration effects when scanning the electron filling factor $FF$ across integer values. These commensuration effects were profound as they reduced the mobility by several orders of magnitude. We analyzed these commensuration effects in a five dimensional parameter space, as a function of the on-site charging energy $E_C$, energy offset $Δ$, the disorder $D$, the electron filling factor $FF$, and the temperature $k_{B}T$. We demonstrated the complexity of our model by showing that at integer filling factors $FF$ commensuration effects are present in some regions of the parameter space, while they vanish in other regions, thus defining distinct dynamical phases of the model. We determined the phase boundaries between these dynamical phases. (2) Using these results as a foundation, we shifted our focus to the experimentally much-studied NP-FETs. NP-FETs are also characterized by an inter-layer energy offset $Δ$, which, in contrast to our first model, is set by the gate voltage $V_G$ and thereby related to the electron filling $FF$. We demonstrated the emergence of commensuration effects and distinct dynamical phases in these NP-FETs.

description: The radionuclide $^{22}$Na is a target of $γ$-ray astronomy searches, predicted to be produced during thermonuclear runaways driving classical novae. The $^{22}$Na(p,$γ$)$^{23}$Mg reaction is the main destruction channel of $^{22}$Na during a nova, hence, its rate is needed to accurately predict the $^{22}$Na yield. However, experimental determinations of the resonance strengths have led to inconsistent results. In this work, we report a measurement of the branching ratios of the $^{23}$Al $β$-delayed protons, as a probe of the key 204--keV (center-of-mass) $^{22}$Na(p,$γ$)$^{23}$Mg resonance strength. We report a factor of 5 lower branching ratio compared to the most recent literature value. The variation in $^{22}$Na yield due to nuclear data inconsistencies was assessed using a series of hydrodynamic nova outburst simulations and has increased to a factor of 3.8, corresponding to a factor of $\sim$2 uncertainty in the maximum detectability distance. This is the first reported scientific measurement using the Gaseous Detector with Germanium Tagging (GADGET) system.
Losses for microwave transmission in metamaterials for producing left-handed materials: The strip wires

description: This paper shows that the effective dielectric permitivity for the metamaterials used so far to obtain left-handed materials, with strip wires 0.003cm thick, is dominated by the imaginary part at 10.6- 11.5 GHz frequencies, where the band pass filter is, and therefore there is not propagation and the wave is inhomogeneous inside the medium. This is shown from finite-differences time-domain calculations using the real permitivity values for the Cu wires. For thicker wires the losses are reduced and the negative part of the permitivity dominates. As the thickness of the wires is critical for the realization of a good transparent left- handed material we propose that the strip wires should have thickness of 0.07-0.1cm and the split ring resonators 0.015-0.03cm

description: We consider a modified Brans-Dicke theory in which except the usual Brans-Dicke parameter a new dimensionful parameter appears which modifies the kinetic term of the scalar field coupled to gravity. Solving the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations we find new spherically symmetric solutions. Depending on the choices of the parameters these solutions reduce to the Schwarzschild solution of General Relativity and they give new wormhole solutions which depend on the new parameter.

description: The density of states method is applied for lattice QCD at a finite isospin density. The advantage of this method is that one can easily obtain results for various values of parameters (quark mass, coupling constant and the number of flavors). We compare results for the chiral condensate and the quark number density with those from the R-algorithm and find that they are in good agreement. By calculating the chiral condensate we obtain information on the phase structure for various quark flavors and isospin chemical potentials. We also show results for the chiral condensate at two different quark masses and at two different isospin densities which are not easily obtainable in the conventional Monte Carlo method.

We have previously shown that this class of corrections allows for domain wall solutions despite the presence of higher powers of the curvature. In the present paper we explicitly solve the linearized equation of motion for gravity fluctuations around the domain wall background and show that there always exist one massless state (graviton) propagating on the wall and a continuous tower of massive states propagating in the bulk.

description: Trypanosomosis is the single most important disease constraining the expansion of livestock in Kenya. Several technologies have been developed to ameliorate the effects of the disease. However, the delivery of these technologies to farmers has been undertaken on trial and error basis without a proper strategy. This has led to more failures than success and contributed to wastage of scarce resources. The main objective of this study was to estimate determinants of preferences for different trypanosomosis control technologies among smallholder cattle farmers in Busia County, Kenya. This study utilized a cross–sectional survey design based on a sample of 217 respondents. Data was collected by use of structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Data from the research instruments were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Study results show that the most common mode of controlling tsetse fly was through spraying at home followed by communal spraying while the factors affecting the choice of trypanosomiasis control were: age, sex, education, expenditure, milk income, and experience. A high preference for home spraying was noted indicating the possibility sustainable household tsetse control. The study recommends that Farmers should be encouraged to integrate the existing control methods with cheaper ones like insecticide treated traps and zero grazing nets.

description: It has been shown that a vortex in a BEC with spin degrees of freedom can be created by manipulating with external magnetic fields. In the previous work, an optical plug along the vortex axis has been introduced to avoid Majorana flips, which take place when the external magnetic field vanishes along the vortex axis while it is created. In the present work, in contrast, we study the same scenario without introducing the optical plug. The magnetic field vanishes only in the center of the vortex at a certain moment of the evolution and hence we expect that the system will lose only a fraction of the atoms by Majorana flips even in the absence of an optical plug. Our conjecture is justified by numerically solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, where the full spinor degrees of freedom of the order parameter are properly taken into account. A significant simplification of the experimental realization of the scenario is attained by the omission of the optical plug.

description: The $νp$ process appears in proton-rich, hot matter which is expanding in a neutrino wind and may be realised in explosive environments such as core-collapse supernovae or in outflows from accretion disks. The impact of uncertainties in nuclear reaction cross sections on the finally produced abundances has been studied by applying Monte Carlo variation of all astrophysical reaction rates in a large reaction network. As the detailed astrophysical conditions of the $νp$ process still are unknown, a parameter study was performed, with 23 trajectories covering a large range of entropies and $Y_\mathrm{e}$. The resulting abundance uncertainties are given for each trajectory. The $νp$ process has been speculated to contribute to the light $p$ nuclides but it was not possible so far to reproduce the solar isotope ratios. It is found that it is possible to reproduce the solar $^{92}$Mo/$^{94}$Mo abundance ratio within nuclear uncertainties, even within a single trajectory. The solar values of the abundances in the Kr-Sr region relative to the Mo region, however, cannot be achieved within a single trajectory. They may still be obtained from a weighted superposition of different trajectories, though, depending on the actual conditions in the production site. For a stronger constraint of the required conditions, it would be necessary to reduce the uncertainties in the 3$α$ and $^{56}$Ni(n,p)$^{56}$Co rates at temperatures $T>3$ GK.

Within the groups of people who have proposed to embody the Good Living, the indigenous woman plays a fundamental role: she has been an activist in the achievement of collective and community actions in the face of inequality, patriarchy and preservation of the identity of Your peoples In addition to being the place of social relations, dialogue and coexistence, communication is also a crucial scenario for interweaving joint solutions that promote social change. The Latin American indigenous woman represents the strength and resistance that hilvana, dreams, walks and survives the Good Living, in a context convulsed by extractivism, capitalist exploitation and segmented not only by the hegemonic logic of patriarchy, but by individualism that dismembers and undermines the collective identity of the Latin American indigenous peoples.

description: We calculate power spectra of cosmological perturbations at high accuracy for two classes of inflation models. We classify the models according to the behaviour of the Hubble distance during inflation. Our approximation works if the Hubble distance can be approximated either to be a constant or to grow linearly with cosmic time. Many popular inflationary models can be described in this way, e.g., chaotic inflation with a monomial potential, power-law inflation and inflation at a maximum. Our scheme of approximation does not rely on a slow-roll expansion. Thus we can make accurate predictions for some of the models with large slow-roll parameters.

description: Production of horticultural products for export is a major cash cropping practice in Kenya which is ranked third in terms of foreign exchange earnings after tourism and tea. Available evidence in the debate of the impact of cash cropping systems on food security however shows mixed results. Different potential negative and positive impacts can be identified which vary with choice of cash crops and the situation in which they are being grown and marketed. To assess impact, food security was measured using per capita calorie intake, 7-day recall and propensity score matching method employed. Results indicate that export horticulture farming has a positive effect on food security status in Kirinyaga County but a negative effect in Mbooni County. Small holder farmers in Mbooni both growers and non- growers were consuming less than the recommended per capita calorie intake. The study recommends that policies aimed at encouraging smallholder farmers to participate in export horticulture farming should be promoted in Kirinyaga but further investigation to be carried out on the production and marketing conditions of export horticulture and food consumption behavior and intra household income distribution in Mbooni. A clear strategy to achieve food security should also be devised.

Zagurya

description: Zagurya Fuhrmann, new genus
 Type species. Plectris eusquamosa Frey, 1975, here designated.
 Diagnosis. Dorsal surface with glabrous and shiny areas mixed with areas covered by scale-like setae, some sparse hair-like setae present (Figs. 2, 9–17); posterior angles of clypeus not forming part of canthus area (Fig. 4); contact of mesoscutum−scutellum angulate (Fig. 5); protibiae and mesotibiae of males wide and flat (Figs. 11, 21, 23); protibia with two outer teeth and with a spur (Fig. 21); mesotarsomere I of males with an inner hook-like tooth (Figs. 23–24); metatarsomere IV with two well-defined groups of inner spiny setae, one of these at apex and other at proximal area (Fig. 34); inner side of metatarsomere V with a raised carina (Figs. 27, 34–35).
 Etymology. Zagurya is named in honor of Dr. Fernando Zagury Vaz-de-Mello (CEMT). The name is feminine in gender.
 Remarks. Within all South American Melolonthinae, Mallotarsus and Zagurya are the only genera that have mesotarsomere I of males with an inner hook-like tooth, metatarsomere V with an inner raised carina or tubercle, and all tarsi with inner distal sulci (“claws sulci”) long (length of sulci at least one-fourth of length of inner area of metatarsomere V, Figs. 35, 37, 39, 42).
 Zagurya is distinguished from Mallotarsus by (characters of Mallotarsus given in parentheses): dorsal surface with groups of scale-like setae (never with scale-like setae); protibia with two outer teeth (with three teeth); protibia and mesotibia of males wide and 1.6 or two time longer than wide (long and more than three times longer than wide); mesotibia of males with one spur (with two spurs); metafemur without row of spiny setae (with a longitudinal row of spiny setae); inner area of metatarsomere IV with proximal spiny setae (without proximal spiny setae); inner distal area of metatarsomere IV with spiny setae and without spine (without spiny setae and with a spine, Fig. 38); metatarsus with claws symmetrical (anterior claw smaller than posterior claw, Fig. 39).
 The new genus includes a species formerly included in Plectris. Zagurya is distinguished from Plectris by (character of Plectris given in parentheses): protibia and mesotibia of males wide and 1.6 or two time longer than wide (long and more than three times longer than wide); metatarsomere IV with two well-defined groups of inner spiny setae: proximal and distal (without spiny setae, Fig. 36); metatarsus with claws symmetrical (symmetrical or anterior claw smaller than posterior claw, Fig. 37).

Abstract
Apalutamide (ERLEADA®), a next-generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor, is approved in several countries, including those of the EU and in the USA, for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). In the pivotal SPARTAN study in men with nmCRPC who were at high risk of developing metastases despite androgen-deprivation therapy (+ ADT), oral apalutamide (+ ADT) significantly prolonged metastasis-free survival (MFS) compared with placebo (+ ADT) at a median follow-up of 20.3 months, with consistent benefits demonstrated across prespecified subgroups. At this timepoint, apalutamide (+ ADT) also significantly prolonged the time to metastasis and progression-free survival (PFS) and maintained health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) compared with placebo (+ ADT). Apalutamide is generally well tolerated, with most adverse reactions of mild to moderate severity and relatively few patients discontinuing treatment because of these events. Although mature OS results are awaited with interest, given its beneficial effects on MFS and convenient oral once-daily regimen, apalutamide (+ ADT) is an important emerging treatment option for patients with nmCRPC who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease.

description: The Adler-Weisberger and Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme sum rules are calculated within a relativistic, unitary and crossing symmetric dynamical model for pion-nucleon scattering using two different methods: 1) by evaluating the scattering amplitude at the corresponding low-energy kinematics and 2) by evaluating the sum-rule integrals with the calculated total cross section. The discrepancy between the results of the two methods provides a measure of the breaking of analyticity and chiral symmetry in the model. The contribution of the $Δ$ resonance, including its dressing with meson loops, is discussed in some detail and found to be small.

description: The apprehended communication as a process of transformation and social change raises claims for rights and calls for participation. The emergence and consolidation of the Good Living in the Latin American indigenous peoples is a milestone and a space for dialogue and action to walk a more just and equitable society. Within the groups of people who have proposed to embody the Good Living, the indigenous woman plays a fundamental role: she has been an activist in the achievement of collective and community actions in the face of inequality, patriarchy and preservation of the identity of Your peoples In addition to being the place of social relations, dialogue and coexistence, communication is also a crucial scenario for interweaving joint solutions that promote social change. The Latin American indigenous woman represents the strength and resistance that hilvana, dreams, walks and survives the Good Living, in a context convulsed by extractivism, capitalist exploitation and segmented not only by the hegemonic logic of patriarchy, but by individualism that dismembers and undermines the collective identity of the Latin American indigenous peoples.

description: The study examines the interaction of farmers, veterinarians and paraprofessionals in provision of clinical veterinary services. It uses a role play experiment to examine how farmers and service providers interaction influences the quality and demand for clinical services. The game was played in four rounds and quality of clinical services was measured using scores in drug prescription for selected animal diseases in each round. Statistical tests were performed to test whether quality of services provided by paraprofessionals and veterinarians differ. Service provider learning curves were constructed to examine whether the quality of services provided by paraprofessionals improves as they continue to interact with veterinarians. Farmer’s belief updating curves were also constructed to examine whether farmers change their beliefs about paraprofessionals on receiving information about quality of their services. A logistic regression model for binary panel data was estimated to determine factors that influence farmer decisions to change service providers. Results show that the quality of services offered by veterinarians are not significantly different from services offered by paraprofessional’s trained in veterinary science. However, the quality of services offered by service providers who are not trained in veterinary medicine are significantly different from those offered by veterinary trained service providers. Continued interaction between paraprofessionals and veterinarians gradually leads to improvement in quality of clinical veterinary services among paraprofessionals with general agriculture and social science training but not with paraprofessionals with no formal training or education. Farmers do not easily to change their beliefs about paraprofessionals and this depends on gender of the farmer, previous outcome and livestock production system. The paper argues that the slow pace in which farmers update their beliefs about paraprofessionals limits paraprofessional’s willingness and readiness to learn or consult with veterinarians. However, use of animal health medical cards would induce paraprofessionals to provide quality services and enable farmers to measure the quality of services thus improving quality clinical services in the long run.

description: This article leverages on the application of the sustainable livelihood framework (SLF) to analyze quantitatively the broader livelihood factors confounding cattle market participation in the Okhahlamba Local Municipality (OLM) for the purpose of informing agricultural extension programmes in South Africa. It uses a dataset compiled from a household survey of 230 randomly selected cattle farm households from 12 dip-tank users associations (DUAs). Within the framework of household model, it uses a Double-Hurdle econometric estimation technique to calibrate the effects of factors in various components of the SLF on market participation and supply volumes decisions. On the basis of sample evidence, the study finds that cattle market participation by OLM smallholders is significantly hindered by inadequate access to agricultural extension and financial systems, limited productivity of local breed, as well as non-compliance with cattle registration regulations. It reveals further that the differences in livelihood strategies explain the observed rates of market participation among smallholder cattle farmers in the municipality, whereas price signals are taken into account only after positive market participation decisions have been made. Based on these results, the study outlines potential extension models required for the South African public extension architecture to promote innovation that addresses the complexity of revealed challenges. Generally, this bottom-up approach gauges the need for a pluralistic agricultural extension approach (mainly by the farmer extension groups model) for a pro-poor agricultural market development in South Africa.

description: Simulation-based verification is beneficial for assessing otherwise dangerous or costly on-road testing of autonomous vehicles (AV). This paper addresses the challenge of efficiently generating effective tests for simulation-based AV verification using software testing agents. The multi-agent system (MAS) programming paradigm offers rational agency, causality and strategic planning between multiple agents. We exploit these aspects for test generation, focusing in particular on the generation of tests that trigger the precondition of an assertion. On the example of a key assertion we show that, by encoding a variety of different behaviours respondent to the agent's perceptions of the test environment, the agency-directed approach generates twice as many effective tests than pseudo-random test generation, while being both efficient and robust. Moreover, agents can be encoded to behave naturally without compromising the effectiveness of test generation. Our results suggest that generating tests using agency-directed testing significantly improves upon random and simultaneously provides more realistic driving scenarios.

description: Maternal sensitivity is a modifiable determinant of infant attachment security and a precursor to optimal child development. Contextual stressors undermine sensitivity, but research was yet to be synthesized. We aimed to identify i) types of stress associations analyzed in studies of maternal sensitivity and ii) the strength of effects of various stress factors. A systematic search identified all studies that used the Maternal Behavior Q-Sort (MBQS) to code sensitivity in dyadic observations and that reported a coefficient for MBQS associations with contextual stress. Identified stressors cohered around three spheres: sociodemography (maternal education, family income, composite SES, maternal age and cohabitation status); parenting stress (perceived maternal stress related to parenting); and mental health (specifically maternal internalizing symptoms). Seven meta-analyses (combined ns range 223-1239) of a subset of 30 effects from 20 articles, and a multi-level meta-analysis (N=1324) assessed aggregated correlations with sensitivity. Significant mean effects emerged in expected directions, whereby all stress indicators were negatively associated with sensitivity. Small effects were found for associations with parenting stress (r=-0.13) and mental health indicators (r=-0.12). Generally moderate effects were found for associations with socio-demographic indicators (range r=-0.12 to r=0.32). Emerging findings support the proposition that in various contexts of stress, maternal sensitivity to infant needs can be undermined. Implications and research directions are discussed.
