title: Gendering protests in Latin America
Creators: name: Espinosa, Moreno Viviana
Year: 2021

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz sexueller Gewalt gegen Frauen und Transfrauen in Lateinamerika als Mittel staatlicher genderspezifischer Repression. Kolumbien, Chile und Argentinien dienen als Fallstudien, um die Frage aufzuwerfen, wie physische Gewalt von den staatlichen Machtinstitutionen als Instrument der Einschüchterung von Frauen und Transfrauen eingesetzt wird. Nachdem feministische als Teil breiterer sozialer Proteste im öffentlichen Raum in Lateinamerika an Bedeutung gewonnen haben, bildeten diese in Chile und Kolumbien 2019 das Ziel extremer staatlicher Repression. Diese Arbeit untersucht das gegen Frauen- und Trans-Körper gerichtete „Gender Policing“, das sich in sexueller Gewalt als Instrument der Einschüchterung und der Repression sozialer Proteste niederschlägt. Die Untersuchung erfolgt auf qualitativer Basis durch die Analyse der digitalen Inhalte (Texte, Bilder, Videos, Performances), die anlässlich der Proteste im Herbst 2019 in den sozialen Medien ausgetauscht wurden. Quantitative Daten des „Lateinamerika-Barometer“ zum Ausmaß der sexuellen Gewalt in den Zielländern stützen die Argumentation. Es wird gezeigt, dass die staatlichen Institutionen in allen untersuchten Ländern besonders gegenüber vulnerablen – rassisierten und marginalisierten – Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie Frauen und Transfrauen repressiv und geschlechtsspezifisch agieren. Sexuelle Gewalt, Vergewaltigung und andere Formen körperlicher und moralischer Folter werden als Mechanismus eingesetzt, um Frauen und andere Dissidenten vom öffentlichen, politischen Raum fernzuhalten.
description: This paper explores the sexual violence against women and trans women committed by state institutions during the social protests in Latin America in 2019, using Colombia, Chile, and Argentina as case studies. Against the backdrop of a high public visibility of feminism in the current social protest movements, the thesis is that gender policing defines its surveillance. Gender policing is oriented towards women and trans bodies and translated into sexual violence as an instrument of intimidation and the dismantling of the social protests. The investigation is carried out on a qualitative basis through the analysis of the performance "a rapist on your way" and digital content, including visual content and hashtags as "#TheStateDoesNotTakeCareOfMe." This research presents findings on feminist discursive strategies of protest attendees and organizers, including women of different origins. Besides, quantitative data from the "Latin America Barometer" on the extent of sexual violence in the target countries support the argument. As the study shows, especially in the framework of social protest, similar patterns can be found of how states act in a repressive and gender-differentiated way over some populations. These actions generally have a component of sexual violence that uses rape, among other forms of physical and moral torture, as a mechanism to marginalize women and dissidents from political decisions and send a political message.

description: In the first three years of operation the Kepler mission found 3,697 planet candidates from a set of 18,406 transit-like features detected on over 200,000 distinct stars. Vetting candidate signals manually by inspecting light curves and other diagnostic information is a labor intensive effort. Additionally, this classification methodology does not yield any information about the quality of planet candidates; all candidates are as credible as any other candidate. The torrent of exoplanet discoveries will continue after Kepler as there will be a number of exoplanet surveys that have an even broader search area. This paper presents the application of machine-learning techniques to the classification of exoplanet transit-like signals present in the \Kepler light curve data. Transit-like detections are transformed into a uniform set of real-numbered attributes, the most important of which are described in this paper. Each of the known transit-like detections is assigned a class of planet candidate; astrophysical false positive; or systematic, instrumental noise. We use a random forest algorithm to learn the mapping from attributes to classes on this training set. The random forest algorithm has been used previously to classify variable stars; this is the first time it has been used for exoplanet classification. We are able to achieve an overall error rate of 5.85% and an error rate for classifying exoplanets candidates of 2.81%.

description: Durch den Einfluss der strukturalistischen Narratologie ist die mögliche Komplexität von Figuren in der mittelalterlichen Literatur lange nicht erkannt worden. Die vorliegende Abschlussarbeit versucht am Beispiel von Heinrich Wittenwilers Ring einen Beitrag zur erzähltheoretischen Neuperspektivierung literarischer Figuren im Mittelalter zu leisten, indem sie ihre narrative Bedeutung für die ambivalente Poetik und Lehrhaftigkeit dieses Textes untersucht. Die Basis der Studie bildet eine Reflexion aktueller Figurentheorien in der Historischen Narratologie, deren Konzepte in Hinblick auf ihr Erkenntnispotential für die Textarbeit selektiert werden. Mit einem Bewusstsein für die Herausforderungen, vor die der Ring in seiner Vieldeutigkeit eine an der Figur interessierte Untersuchung stellt, wird darauf aufbauend eine exemplarische Analyse des Protagonisten Bertschi Triefnas durchgeführt. Ihr Ziel ist es, an signifikanten Textstellen den Charakterisierungsprozess dieser Figur nachzuvollziehen. Zum einen wird dabei die Rolle von Figuren bei der Entfaltung von Handlung und Lehre im Ring eruiert. Zum anderen soll für die von Wittenwiler weitreichend genutzten Freiräume der narrativen Figurendarstellung zwischen Typisierung und Individualisierung sensibilisiert werden.

description: Bioactive glasses (BGs) and glass-ceramics (BGCs) have become a diverse family of materials being applied for treatment of many medical conditions. The traditional understanding of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics pins them to bone-bonding capability without considering the other fields where they excel, such as soft tissue repair. We attempt to provide an updated definition of BGs and BGCs by comparing their structure, processing, and properties to those of other biomaterials. The proposed modern definition allows for consideration of all applications where the BGs and BGCs are currently used in the clinic and where the future of these promising biomaterials will grow. The new proposed definition of a bioactive glass is "a non-equilibrium, non-crystalline material that has been designed to induce specific biological activity". The proposed definition of a bioactive glass-ceramic is "an inorganic, non-metallic material that contains at least one crystalline phase within a glassy matrix and has been designed to induce specific biological activity." BGs and BGCs can bond to bone and soft tissues or contribute to their regeneration. They can deliver a specified concentration of inorganic therapeutic ions, heat for magnetic-induced hyperthermia or laser-induced phototherapy, radiation for brachytherapy, and drug delivery to combat pathogens and cancers.

description: Using a sample of spiral galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) and Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2), we investigate the alignment of spin axes of spiral galaxies with their surrounding large scale structure, which is characterized by the large-scale tidal field reconstructed from the data using galaxy groups above a certain mass threshold. We find that the spin axes of only have weak tendency to be aligned with (or perpendicular to) the intermediate (or minor) axis of the local tidal tensor. The signal is the strongest in a \cluster environment where all the three eigenvalues of the local tidal tensor are positive. Compared to the alignments between halo spins and local tidal field obtained in N-body simulations, the above observational results are in best agreement with those for the spins of inner regions of halos, suggesting that the disk material traces the angular momentum of dark matter halos in the inner regions.

description: We propose a concept for future space gravity missions using cold atom interferometers for measuring the diagonal elements of the gravity gradient tensor and the spacecraft angular velocity. The aim is to achieve better performance than previous space gravity missions due to a very low white noise spectral behavior and a very high common mode rejection, with the ultimate goals of determining the fine structures of the gravity field with higher accuracy than GOCE and detecting time-variable signals in the gravity field better than GRACE.

description: We calculate the form factors of the $Λ_b\toΛ_c(2625)$ and $Ξ_b\toΞ_c(2815)$ transitions, and additionally evaluate the corresponding semileptonic decays and the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays. In order to obtain the concerned form factors, we use the three-body light-front quark model with the support from baryon spectroscopy. In this work, as important physical inputs, the spatial wave functions of concerned baryons are obtained by the Gaussian expansion method with a semirelativistic potential model. For the semileptonic processes, the branching ratios of the electron and muon channels can reach up to the order of magnitude of $1\%$, where our result $\mathcal{B}(Λ_b^0\toΛ_c^+(2625)μ^-ν_μ)=(1.641\pm0.113)\%$ is consistent with the current experimental data. As for the nonleptonic processes, the decays to $π^-$, $ρ^-$, and $D_s^{(*)-}$ final states have considerable widths. These discussed decay modes could be accessible at the LHCb experiment.

description: Crystal structure and properties of a new member of oxy-bismuth-sulfide SmO1-xFxBiS2 are reported here. The compounds SmO1-xFxBiS2 (x = 0.0 and 0.5) are found to be isostructural with LaOBiS2 and crystallize in the CeOBiS2 type structure (P4/nmm). Sm substitution in LaO0.5F0.5BiS2, (La1-ySmyO0.5F0.5BiS2), leads to a gradual decrease in a-lattice constant however the c-lattice constant does not show such a gradual trend. Enhancement in Tc is achieved upon partially substituting La by smaller Sm ion. Maximum Tc ~ 4.6 K was observed for composition with y = 0.8. Disobeying this trend Tc disappears unexpectedly in composition SmO0.5F0.5BiS2 (y = 1.0). Both the undoped and F-doped (x = 0.0 and 0.5) compounds are paramagnetic exhibiting semiconducting behavior down to 2 K.

description: The quasi-harmonic Debye approximation has been implemented within the AFLOW and Materials Project frameworks for high-throughput computational science (Automatic Gibbs Library, AGL), in order to calculate thermal properties such as the Debye temperature and the thermal conductivity of materials. We demonstrate that the AGL method, which is significantly cheaper computationally compared to the fully ab initio approach, can reliably predict the ordinal ranking of the thermal conductivity for several different classes of semiconductor materials. We also find that for the set of 182 materials investigated in this work the Debye temperature, calculated with the AGL, is often a better predictor of the ordinal ranking of the experimental thermal conductivities than the calculated thermal conductivity. The Debye temperature is thus a potential descriptor for high-throughput screening of the thermal properties of materials.

description: A method from random-matrix theory is used to calculate the pair correlation function of a one-dimensional gas of $N\gg 1$ classical particles with a power law repulsive interaction potential $u(x)\propto |x|^{-s}$ (a socalled Riesz gas). An integral formula for the covariance of single-particle operators is obtained which generalizes known results in the limits $s\rightarrow -1$ (Coulomb gas) and $s\rightarrow 0$ (log-gas). As an application, we calculate the variance of the center of mass of the Riesz gas, which has a universal large-$N$ limit that does not depend on the shape of the confining potential.

Multi-modal Skill Memories for Online Learning of Interactive Robot Movement Generation
Creators: name: Queißer, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 004

description: Modern robotic applications pose complex requirements with respect to the adaptation of actions regarding the variability in a given task. Reinforcement learning can optimize for changing conditions, but relearning from scratch is hardly feasible due to the high number of required rollouts. This work proposes a parameterized skill that generalizes to new actions for changing task parameters. The actions are encoded by a meta-learner that provides parameters for task-specific dynamic motion primitives. Experimental evaluation shows that the utilization of parameterized skills for initialization of the optimization process leads to a more effective incremental task learning. A proposed hybrid optimization method combines a fast coarse optimization on a manifold of policy parameters with a fine-grained parameter search in the unrestricted space of actions. It is shown that the developed algorithm reduces the number of required rollouts for adaptation to new task conditions. Further, this work presents a transfer learning approach for adaptation of learned skills to new situations. Application in illustrative toy scenarios, for a 10-DOF planar arm, a humanoid robot point reaching task and parameterized drumming on a pneumatic robot validate the approach. But parameterized skills that are applied on complex robotic systems pose further challenges: the dynamics of the robot and the interaction with the environment introduce model inaccuracies. In particular, high-level skill acquisition on highly compliant robotic systems such as pneumatically driven or soft actuators is hardly feasible. Since learning of the complete dynamics model is not feasible due to the high complexity, this thesis examines two alternative approaches: First, an improvement of the low-level control based on an equilibrium model of the robot. Utilization of an equilibrium model reduces the learning complexity and this thesis evaluates its applicability for control of pneumatic and industrial light-weight robots. Second, an extension of parameterized skills to generalize for forward signals of action primitives that result in an enhanced control quality of complex robotic systems. This thesis argues for a shift in the complexity of learning the full dynamics of the robot to a lower dimensional task-related learning problem. Due to the generalization in relation to the task variability, online learning for complex robots as well as complex scenarios becomes feasible. An experimental evaluation investigates the generalization capabilities of the proposed online learning system for robot motion generation. Evaluation is performed through simulation of a compliant 2-DOF arm and scalability to a complex robotic system is demonstrated for a pneumatically driven humanoid robot with 8-DOF.

description: We numerically study the crossing symmetry constraints in 4D CFTs, using previously introduced algorithms based on semidefinite programming. We study bounds on OPE coefficients of tensor operators as a function of their scaling dimension and extend previous studies of bounds on OPE coefficients of conserved vector currents to the product groups SO(N)xSO(M). We also analyze the bounds on the OPE coefficients of the conserved vector currents associated with the groups SO(N), SU(N) and SO(N)xSO(M) under the assumption that in the singlet channel no scalar operator has dimension less than four, namely that the CFT has no relevant deformations. This is motivated by applications in the context of composite Higgs models, where the strongly coupled sector is assumed to be a spontaneously broken CFT with a global symmetry.

description: Background: Reproductive coercion is a significant public health issue in Australia which has mainly been conceptualised as a form of violence at the interpersonal level. This limited scope ignores the role of the gendered drivers of violence and fails to encompass a socio-ecological lens which is necessary to consider the multiple interacting layers that create the context in which reproductive coercion occurs. The aim of the scoping review was to explore how the reproductive coercion is defined by international research. Specifically, how is reproductive coercion defined at the social-cultural-systems-structural levels, and are the definitions of reproductive coercion inclusive of the conditions and contexts in which reproductive coercion occurs? Methods: A scoping review was undertaken to explore existing definitions of reproductive coercion. Searches were conducted on Embase, Cochrane Library, Informit Health Collection, and the EBSCOHost platform. Google was also searched for relevant grey literature. Articles were included if they were: theoretical research, reviews, empirical primary research, grey literature or books; published between January 2018 and May 2022; written in English; and focused on females aged 18–50 years. Data from eligible articles were deductively extracted and inductively thematically analysed to identify themes describing how reproductive coercion is defined. Results: A total of 24 articles were included in the scoping review. Most research defined reproductive coercion at the interpersonal level with only eight articles partially considering and four articles fully considering the socio-cultural-systems-structural level. Thematic analysis identified four main themes in reproductive coercion definitions: Individual external exertion of control over a woman’s reproductive autonomy; Systems and structures; Social and cultural determinants; and Freedom from external forces to achieve reproductive autonomy. Conclusions: We argue for and propose a more inclusive definition of reproductive coercion that considers the gendered nature of reproductive coercion, and is linked to power, oppression and inequality, which is and can be perpetrated and/or facilitated at the interpersonal, community, organisational, institutional, systems, and societal levels as well as by the state.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Raumstrukturen im Prosawerk Josef Winklers. Untersuchungsgegenstand bilden die beiden Romane Die Verschleppung (1983) und Laß dich heimgeigen, Vater, oder den Tod ins Herz mir schreibe (2018) sowie die Novelle Natura morta (2001). Unter der Einbeziehung ausgewählter raumtheoretischer Modelle wird der literarische Raum mit der close reading Methode analysiert, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerkt auf die Aspekte Geschlecht und Generation gelegt wird. Durch die miteinbezogene Interpretation der Raumanalyse wird das gestalterische Potential der Kategorie Raum aufgezeigt. Die von Winkler erschaffenen Raumstrukturen sowie die darin verorteten Figuren und Figurenhandlungen werden analysiert und in einen semantischen Kontext gestellt. Geschlechtsspezifische Raumkonstitutionen und Generationenverortungen in den fiktionalen Räumen werden beleuchtet. Winklers literarische Raumkonstruktionen sind vielschichtig und aussagekräftig, in ihnen und durch sie werden geschlechts- und gesellschaftsspezifische Problemstellungen aufgezeigt und behandelt.

description: This is a review of recent research exploring and extending present-day quantum computing capabilities for fusion energy science applications. We begin with a brief tutorial on both ideal and open quantum dynamics, universal quantum computation, and quantum algorithms. Then, we explore the topic of using quantum computers to simulate both linear and nonlinear dynamics in greater detail. Because quantum computers can only efficiently perform linear operations on the quantum state, it is challenging to perform nonlinear operations that are generically required to describe the nonlinear differential equations of interest. In this work, we extend previous results on embedding nonlinear systems within linear systems by explicitly deriving the connection between the Koopman evolution operator, the Perron-Frobenius evolution operator, and the Koopman-von Neumann evolution (KvN) operator. We also explicitly derive the connection between the Koopman and Carleman approaches to embedding. Extension of the KvN framework to the complex-analytic setting relevant to Carleman embedding, and the proof that different choices of complex analytic reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces depend on the choice of Hilbert space metric are covered in the appendices. Finally, we conclude with a review of recent quantum hardware implementations of algorithms on present-day quantum hardware platforms that may one day be accelerated through Hamiltonian simulation. We discuss the simulation of toy models of wave-particle interactions through the simulation of quantum maps and of wave-wave interactions important in nonlinear plasma dynamics.

title: „Kein Ebenbild Gottes ist heillos“
Creators: name: Willim, Astrid
Year: 2021

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage der Gottesebenbildlichkeit des Menschen. Es wird beleuchtet, wie dieser Begriff zu verstehen ist. Dazu werden unterschiedliche Positionen, sowie auch der biblische Schöpfungstext herangezogen. Der jüdische Autor Aharon Appelfeld, dessen Werke in der Anfangszeit des 20. Jahrhunderts anzusiedeln sind, zeigt in seinen Texten, dass die Assimilationsschwierigkeiten der jüdischen Bevölkerung im deutschsprachigen Raum reale Bedrohungen waren. Seine Figuren scheitern, obwohl sie zum Christentum konvertieren, weil sie ihre jüdischen Wurzeln nicht auslöschen können. Im Vergleich dazu wird die Situation der Juden ab dem 19. Jahrhundert skizziert und wie der aufkommende Nationalsozialismus nur den bestehenden Antisemitismus aufgreifen und weiterführen musste. Appelfeld, selbst ein ehemaliger Flüchtling, befreit sich über sein Schreiben und die Aneignung einer neuen Sprache somit von der Absprache des Lebensrechtes durch die Nationalsozialisten endgültig. Über seine Texte wird gezeigt, dass er sein Ebenbild wieder herstellen konnte, indem er die Erinnerungen und die Muttersprache in sich wachruft und ihnen eine neue Heimat im Hebräischen gibt.
title: Impfpolitik im Nationalsozialismus
Creators: name: Höger, Helena Marlene
Year: 2021

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit widmet sich der Fragestellung, welche Impfpolitik im Nationalsozialismus praktiziert wurde, welcher Verlauf und welche Motive sich hierfür identifizieren lassen. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass die Nationalsozialisten in der Umsetzung einer Impfpflicht, vor allem hinsichtlich der Diphtherieschutzimpfung, auf Freiwilligkeit setzten. Zu erklären ist dies damit, dass das NS-Regime der Überzeugung war, dass sich mit einer scheinbaren Freiwilligkeit einer Impfung mehr Menschen erreichen lassen. Die Schutzimpfung wurde zum Dienst an der „Volksgemeinschaft“ erklärt. Viele Nationalsozialisten vertraten außerdem sehr impfkritische Ansichten. Dies hatte einerseits ideologische Gründe. Genannt werden kann hier etwa Julius Streicher, der in „Der Stürmer“ gegen Impfungen hetzte und dies damit argumentierte, dass Impfungen „Gift für Körper und Rasse“ seien. Andererseits ist auch durch die Nähe zur Naturheilkunde und Homöopathie, welche natürlich auch ideologische Aspekte beinhaltete, ausschlaggebend für eine impfkritische Haltung. Die enge Verstrickung von NS-Ideologie und Gesundheitspolitik wird in der Arbeit zudem anhand zahlreicher Beispiele sichtbar gemacht.

Bewertung von Lebensqualität im Kontext gesundheitsökonomischer Evaluationen – Ermittlung der gesellschaftlichen Präferenzwerte für die deutsche Version des EQ-5D-5L
Creators: name: Ludwig, Kristina
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 610

description: Hintergrund: Lebensqualitätseffekte von Gesundheitsleistungen haben zunehmend Eingang in gesundheitsökonomische Evaluationen gefunden, um eine effektive und zugleich effiziente Versorgung für Patienten sicherzustellen. Der Einbezug der Lebensqualität bei Kosten-Nutzwert-Analysen erfordert nutzentheoretische Indexinstrumente. Derzeit besteht jedoch ein Mangel an geeigneten Value Sets für jene Instrumente in Deutschland. Die Zielsetzung der Dissertation liegt darin, ein präferenzbasiertes Value Set für die deutsche fünf-Level-Version des EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) unter Anwendung des Methoden-Protokolls der EuroQol-Gruppe zu entwickeln.

 Methode: Anhand von theoretischen Vorüberlegungen sowie drei empirischen Studien mit der deutschen Allgemeinbevölkerung, werden methodische und inhaltliche Aspekte in Bezug auf die Bewertung der gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen für den EQ-5D-5L in Deutschland erforscht. Es werden zwei explorative Vorstudien durchgeführt, um die methodische Vorgehensweise zu testen. In der anschließenden Valuierungsstudie steht die Ermittlung der gesellschaftlichen Präferenzwerte für den EQ-5D-5L für Deutschland im Fokus. Die Erkenntnisse der Dissertation münden in die Ableitung von Implikationen für Forschung, Politik und Praxis.

 Ergebnisse: Die kumulative Dissertation umfasst sechs Publikationen. Die Module 1 und 2 beinhalten theoretische und methodische Vorüberlegungen für die Valuierung eines Lebensqualitätsinstrumentes. Modul 3 zeigt, dass ein Value Set ausschließlich für das valuierte Messinstrument und nicht für etwaige Kinderversionen ungeprüft anzuwenden ist. Modul 4 hat einen Beitrag zu der Weiterentwicklung des internationalen Methoden-Protokolls geliefert und zeigte die Eignung des Protokolls für den deutschen Kontext. In der Valuierungsstudie (Modul 5) konnte ein konsistentes Value Set für den EQ-5D-5L auf Basis der gesellschaftlichen Präferenzwerte für Deutschland ermittelt werden. In dem Modul 6 werden die zentralen Erkenntnisse für den Einsatz des Methoden-Protokolls in künftigen Studien zusammengeführt.

 Schlussfolgerungen: Das entwickelte EQ-5D-5L Value Set stellt ein Novum für die deutsche Lebensqualitätsforschung dar und bietet eine aktuelle und robuste Berechnungsgrundlage, um einen präferenzbasierten EQ-5D-5L Index für Deutschland zu aggregieren. Diese gesell-schaftlichen Präferenzwerte haben Implikationen für die Bewertung von Therapiemaßnahmen und ermöglichen den Einsatz des EQ-5D-5L in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen. So kann der EQ-5D-5L künftig als Operationalisierung des patientenrelevanten Endpunktes Lebensqualität zur Unterstützung von Allokationsentscheidungen im deutschen Gesundheitswesen eingesetzt werden.

description: We apply crystal theory to affine Schubert calculus, Gromov-Witten invariants for the complete flag manifold, and the positroid stratification of the positive Grassmannian. We introduce operators on decompositions of elements in the type-$A$ affine Weyl group and produce a crystal reflecting the internal structure of the generalized Young modules whose Frobenius image is represented by stable Schubert polynomials. We apply the crystal framework to products of a Schur function with a $k$-Schur function, consequently proving that a subclass of 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of complete flag varieties for $\mathbb C^n$ enumerate the highest weight elements under these operators. Included in this class are the Schubert structure constants in the (quantum) product of a Schubert polynomial with a Schur function $s_λ$ for all $|λ^\vee|< n$. Another by-product gives a highest weight formulation for various fusion coefficients of the Verlinde algebra and for the Schubert decomposition of certain positroid classes.

description: We present a global analysis of solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator neutrino data in the framework of three-neutrino oscillations based on data available in summer 2014. We provide the allowed ranges of the six oscillation parameters and show that their determination is stable with respect to uncertainties related to reactor neutrino and solar neutrino flux predictions. We find that the maximal possible value of the Jarlskog invariant in the lepton sector is $0.0329 \pm 0.0009$ ($\pm 0.0027$) at the $1σ$ ($3σ$) level and we use leptonic unitarity triangles to illustrate the ability of global oscillation data to obtain information on CP violation. We discuss "tendencies and tensions" of the global fit related to the octant of $θ_{23}$ as well as the CP violating phase $δ_\mathrm{CP}$. The favored values of $δ_\mathrm{CP}$ are around $3π/2$ while values around $π/2$ are disfavored at about $Δχ^2 \simeq 6$. We comment on the non-trivial task to assign a confidence level to this $Δχ^2$ value by performing a Monte Carlo study of T2K data.

description: We study entanglement properties in a nonequilibrium steady state of a free-fermion chain, that emerges after connecting two half-chains prepared at different temperatures. The entanglement negativity and the Rényi mutual information between two adjacent intervals scale logarithmically in the system size, with prefactors that we calculate analytically as a function of the bath temperatures. In particular, we show that the negativity and the Rényi mutual information with index $α=1/2$ are described by different prefactors, and thus the two quantities provide inequivalent information about the state. Furthermore, we show that the logarithmic growth of the negativity during time evolution is also governed by the steady-state prefactor.

description: Um die Kernsysteme, die die wertvollsten Vermögenswerte eines Unternehmens enthalten, zu bewerten, werden routinemäßige IT-Audits durchgeführt, um ihre Fähigkeit zu bewerten, diese Vermögenswerte zu schützen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Modell für die Prüfung von relationalen Datenbanken vorgeschlagen, das darauf abzielt, mehrere definierte Kontrollen, aber auch einige der vom COBIT-Framework definierten Merkmale zu erfüllen. Das COBIT-Framework war auch die Leitlinie für die Kontrollen, die mit dem vorgeschlagenen Modell implementiert wurden. Es wurde ein Prototyp entwickelt, der aus einem TypeScript-Backend und einer modernen, mit React erstellten Weboberfläche besteht. Es wurden Szenario-basierte Tests der Funktionalität und der Benutzerfreundlichkeit des Prototyps durchgeführt und die wichtigsten Ergebnisse wurden diskutiert. Schließlich schließt die Arbeit mit den wichtigsten Erkenntnissen und den Ergebnissen des Prototyps und bietet einige Möglichkeiten für die weitere Arbeit an dem Modell und dem Prototyp.
description: To evaluate the core systems holding the most valuable assets of a company, routine IT audits are carried out to evaluate their ability to protect these assets. This thesis proposes a model for auditing relational databases, which aims to fulfill multiple defined controls, but also some of the characteristics defined by the COBIT framework. The COBIT framework has also been the guideline for the controls implemented with the proposed model. A prototype has been developed, which consists of a TypeScript backend and a modern web interface made with React. Scenario-based testing of the prototype's functionality and usability has been done, and the discussion of the major results has been shown. Finally, the thesis concludes with the most important findings and the prototype results, offering a few possibilities for further work on the model and the prototype.

description: We discuss the propagation of fermions on generic, curved branes in IKKT-type matrix models. The Dirac operator can be understood either in terms of a Weitzenböck connection, or in terms of the Levi-Civita connection with extra torsion term. We discuss in detail the coupling of spin to the background geometry using the JWKB approximation. Despite the absence of local Lorentz invariance in the underlying IKKT framework, our results agree with the expectations of Einstein-Cartan theory, and differ from general relativity only by an extra coupling to the totally antisymmetric part of the torsion. The case of FLRW cosmic background solutions is discussed as a special case.

Mid-IR Observations of IRAS, AKARI, WISE/NEOWISE and Subaru for Large Icy Asteroid (704) Interamnia: a New Perspective of Regolith Properties and Water Ice Fraction

description: (704) Interamnia is one of the largest asteroids that locates in the outer main-belt region, which may contain a large amount of water ice underneath its surface. We observe this asteroid using 8.2 m Subaru telescope at mid-infrared wavebands, and utilize thermophysical model for realistic surface layers (RSTPM) to analyze mid-infrared data from Subaru along with those of IRAS, AKARI and WISE/NEOWISE. We optimize the method to convert the WISE magnitude to thermal infrared flux with temperature dependent color corrections, which can provide significant references for main-belt asteroids at a large heliocentric distance with low surface temperature. We derive best-fitting thermal parameters of Interamnia - a mean regolith grain size of $190_{-180}^{+460}~\rm μm$, with a roughness of $0.30_{-0.17}^{+0.35}$ and RMS slope of $27_{-9}^{+13}$ degrees, thereby producing thermal inertia ranging from 9 to $92~\rm Jm^{-2}s^{-1/2}K^{-1}$ due to seasonal temperature variation. The geometric albedo and effective diameter are evaluated to be $0.0472_{-0.0031}^{+0.0033}$ and $339_{-11}^{+12}~\rm km$, respectively, being indicative of a bulk density of $1.86\pm0.63~\rm g/cm^3$. The low thermal inertia is consistent with typical B/C-type asteroids with $D\geq100$ km. The tiny regolith grain size suggests the presence of a fine regolith on the surface of Interamnia. Moreover, the seasonal and diurnal temperature distribution indicates that thermal features between southern and northern hemisphere appear to be very different. Finally, we present an estimation of volume fraction of water ice of $9\%\sim66\%$ from the published grain density and porosity of carbonaceous chondrites.

title: Inselstaat Österreich?
Creators: name: Gaisberger, Michael
Year: 2021

description: Im europäischen Vergleich weist Österreich ein restriktives Staatsbürgerschaftsregime auf. Die Novellierungen seit der Jahrtausendwende brachten keine relevante Liberalisierung zum Staatsbürgerschaftszugang. Die seit dieser Zeit am längsten im Parlament vertretenen Parteien - SPÖ, ÖVP, FPÖ und die Grünen - sind für die Entwicklung der österreichischen Gesetzeslage entscheidende Akteure*innen. Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die genannten Parteien hinsichtlich ihrer öffentlich kommunizierten Haltungen zum Thema. Die zentralen Forschungsfragen lauten kurz: Welche Unterschiede in den Positionen zu Staatsbürgerschaft sind zwischen den Parteien festzustellen? Welche Veränderungen der Haltungen sind im Zeitverlauf zu beobachten? Welchen Haltungs-Typologien können die untersuchten Parteien zugeordnet werden? Um diese Fragen beantworten zu können, werden mittels der Methode der „Political Claims Analysis“ Pressemitteilungen der Parteien von 1998 bis 2020 codiert und ausgewertet. Mit Hilfe eines, in Theorien des zweidimensionalen politischen Spektrums eingebetteten, erarbeiteten politischen Klassifikationssystems, werden die analysierten Daten verortet, diskutiert und verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die FPÖ sich über den Untersuchungszeitraum als konstant restriktive („insuläre“) Partei verhält, während die SPÖ sowie die Grünen sich als konstant liberale („expansive“) Parteien bezeichnen lassen. Die ÖVP lässt zwar eine Tendenz in Richtung des „insulären“ Haltungs-Typus erkennen, kann diesem aber nicht eindeutig zugeordnet werden. Besonders die FPÖ auf der einen, und die SPÖ sowie die Grünen auf der anderen Seite, zeigen thematisch eine starke „Gegenspieler-Mentalität“, die sie über den gesamten Untersuchungszeitraum beibehalten.
