When timber production comes out of the woods : post‚ÄövÑv™forestry states in wood and forest socioecological systems
Creators: name: Warman, Russell
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Wood production is changing from extraction out of natural forests to cultivation of wood that is increasingly agricultural in nature. This has significant implications for wood/forest socio‚ÄövÑv™ecological systems. This thesis takes a multidisciplinary approach to examine the socio‚ÄövÑv™political, biophysical and cultural/discursive dimensions of change in these systems. A heuristically derived model of three sequential states, or conditions, of wood/forest socioecological systems is developed. The model challenges the historical integration of wood production and forest management exemplified by the institutions of 'forestry' with their inherent wood/forest nexus. This provides a conceptual frame to support analysis of system change and its influences. Research here shows that global wood production from natural forests peaked in 1989, with cultivated wood sources making up an increased portion of the world's wood production since. This change allows growing demand for non‚ÄövÑv™wood values from extensive forests to be met. The institutions of stewardship forestry were founded on normative ideals of sustainable systems in long term equilibrium. However, these occur within rapidly evolving social contexts and changing values. This creates considerable tension within wood/forest socio‚ÄövÑv™ecological systems and their institutions and governance, notably, a tension between increasingly unviable attempts at adaptation of existing systems and the potential transformation of systems to new states. Transformation, however, requires willingness to consider post‚ÄövÑv™forestry conditions, such as integration of wood cultivation into landscape approaches, rather than the forest‚ÄövÑv™centric approach of stewardship forestry, and increasing management of extensive forests for non‚ÄövÑv™wood values in the absence of wood production.

description: We construct an instanton describing the pair production of non-Kaluza Klein bubbles of nothing in higher odd dimensional de Sitter spaces. In addition to showing that higher dimensional de Sitter spaces have a nonzero probability to become topologically nontrivial, this process provides direct evidence for the association of entropy with cosmological horizons and that non-Kaluza Klein bubbles of nothing are a necessary ingredient in string theory or any other consistent quantum theory of gravity in higher dimensions.

Eindeutigkeit und Bedeutung. Funktionen der Erzählung kollektiver Identität
Creators: name: Langner-Pitschmann, Annette
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Die Konstitution kollektiver Identität orientiert sich u.a. an den Idealen einer eindeutigen und bedeutsamen Beschreibung von Gemeinschaften. Aus der Rekonstruktion und Problematisierung dieser beiden Aspekte leitet der vorliegende Beitrag Kriterien ab, denen eine differenzierte und tragfähige Theorie kollektiver Identität zu genügen hat. Mit dem »kritischen Pluralismus« von William E. Connolly stellt er einen Ansatz vor, der diesen Kriterien zu genügen scheint und das Phänomen der Fremd- und Selbstzuschreibung kollektiver Identität in seiner Vielschichtigkeit und Ambiguität zu erhellen hilft. The formation of collective identity aims, among other things, at describing communities in an unambiguous and meaningful way. Reconstructing and problematizing both of these aspects, the present paper elaborates two criteria by which a differentiated and viable theory of collective identity may be measured. It finally presents William E. Connolly’s »critical pluralism« as an approach that seems to fulfil these criteria while shedding light on the attribution of collective identity in its complexity and ambiguity.

description: Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the production of referential ambiguities in two contrasting narrative conditions among age-defined groups of healthy African American women.
Method Twenty middle-aged adults (M = 51 years) and 20 older adults (M = 72 years) produced a complex story retelling and a personal narrative. All narratives were transcribed orthographically, parsed into T-units, and analyzed for surface structure markings of referents and the presence of ambiguities.
Results The results demonstrated that older adults produced more ambiguities than middle-aged adults, were more compromised with task complexity, used more role or relation designations to refer to story characters while underusing proper names, and exhibited significant lexical retrieval deficits during ongoing narrative production. Middle-aged adults produced more proper names, but were also challenged by the complexity of the story-retelling task. Moreover, the results showed that older adults produced more African American English variants than middle-aged adults.
Conclusion This investigation revealed a pattern of age-related ambiguities during narrative production. The results demonstrated that lexical retrieval from long-term semantic memory was an important predictor of ambiguity, whereas African American English contributed negligibly. These results show that referential ambiguities may be a robust characteristic of cognitive–linguistic changes that occur with typical aging.
Identität – kein Wesensmerkmal, sondern Position. Identitätspolitische Organisation von Minderheiten
Creators: name: Riedl, Anna Maria

Year: 2020

description: Der Artikel legt eine kritische Würdigung von Identitätspolitik vor. Kritische Würdigung meint hier, dass der Kampf um Befreiung und Teilnahme an der Mehrheitsgesellschaft anerkannt wird, dass damit aber längst nicht alles gerechtfertigt ist, was heute unter dem Label Identitätspolitik firmiert. Als eine wichtige Unterscheidung wird die Differenzierung zwischen Identitätspolitik und identitären Politiken eingeführt. Gegen die latente Gefahr Identitäten zu essentialisieren, auch wenn Identität (nur) als Motor eines Befreiungskampfes gesehen wird, wird als Ausweg eine Strategie zeitweiliger und solidarischer Koalitionen vorgeschlagen. The article presents a critical appraisal of identity politics. Critical appreciation means here that the struggle for liberation and participation in the majority society is legitimized and recog-nized, but that by no means everything that today operates under the label of identity politics is justified. As an important distinction is therefore introduced the differentiation between identity politics and identitarian politics. Against the latent danger of essentializing identities, even if identity is (only) seen as a motor for liberation struggle, a strategy of temporary, and solidarity coalitions is propos

description: The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is optimized for study of high-z GRBs as probes of the early Universe. With a High Energy Telescope (HET) incorporating a 4.5m^2 5-600keV (CZT; 0.6mm pixels) detector plane for coded aperture imaging a 90deg x 70deg (>10% coding fraction) field of view with 2' resolution and <20" (90% conf.) positions for >5 sigma sources, EXIST will perform rapid (<200sec) slews onto GRBs. Prompt images and spectra are obtained with a co-aligned soft X-ray telescope (SXI; 0.1 - 10keV) and with a 1.1m optical-IR telescope (IRT) simultaneously in 4 bands (0.3 - 0.52micron, 0.52 - 0.9micron, 0.9 - 1.38micron, and 1.38 - 2.3micron). An initial image (100s) will yield prompt identification within the HET error circle from a <2" prompt SXI position; or from VIS vs. IR dropouts or variability. An autonomous spacecraft re-point (<30") will then put the GRB on a 0.3" x 4" slit for either R = 3000 (for AB <21) or R =30 (for AB ~21-25) prompt spectra over the 0.3 - 0.9 micron and 0.9 - 2.3 micron bands. This will provide onboard redshifts within ~500-2000sec for most GRBs, reaching z ~20 (for Lyman-alpha breaks) if such GRBs exist, and spectra for studies of the host galaxy and local re-ionization patchiness as well as intervening cosmic structure. With ~600 GRBs/yr expected, including ~7-10% expected at z >7, EXIST will open a new era in studies of the early Universe as well as carry out a rich program of AGN and transient-source science. An overview of the GRB science objectives and a brief discussion of the overall mission design and operations is given, and example high-z GRB IRT spectra are shown. EXIST is being proposed to the Astro2010 Decadal Survey as a 5 year Medium Class mission that could be launched as early as 2017.

Kollektive religiöse Identitäten als Zentrum rechter Identitätspolitik?
Creators: name: Pickel, Gert
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Betrachten wir aktuelle Bemühungen rechtsradikaler Parteien, dann kommt Identitätspolitik eine zentrale Rolle für die Mobilisierung von Wähler*innen zu. In den verwendeten Identitätskonstruktionen eines „Wir und die Anderen“, spielt die religiöse Zugehörigkeit eine tragende Rolle. Vor allem Muslim*innen werden Ziel negativer Zuschreibung. Die in Teilen der deutschen Bevölkerung bestehenden Ängste, bieten die Möglichkeit von Abgrenzung. Die daraus resultierende, auf Emotionen angelegte, Polarisierung bietet rechten Ideolog*innen Mobilisierungschancen, die sich oft rationalen Gegenargumenten verschließen. Identitäre Abgrenzung gilt auch gegenüber Jüd*innen. So wird die muslimische Zuwanderung instrumentell über Verschwörungstheorien der Umvolkung gegen Jüd*innen und Muslim*innen gleichzeitig gerichtet. If we look at current efforts by radical right-wing parties, then identity politics plays a central role in the mobilization of voters. In the identity constructions of "us and them", religious affiliation plays a major role. Muslims in particular become the target of negative attribution. The fears existing in parts of the German population offer the possibility of demarcation. The resulting polarization, which is based on emotions, offers right-wing ideologues opportunities for mobilization, who often close their minds to rational counterarguments. Identitarian demarcation also applies to Jews. Thus, Muslim immigration is instrumentally directed against Jews and Muslims at the same time via conspiracy theories of repopulation.

description: Rietveld profiles, Moessbauer spectra and x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) were analyzed through the structural phase transition at Ts = 355 K in HoBaCo4O7. Excess of the oxygen content over O7 was avoided via annealing the samples in argon flow at 600 degree C. Space groups (S.G.) Pbn21c and P63mc were used to refine the structure parameters in the low- and high-temperature phases, respectively. Additionally, the Cmc21 symmetry was considered as a concurrent model of structure of the low-temperature phase. In the high-temperature phase, severe anisotropy of thermal motion of the major part of the oxygen atoms was observed. This anisotropic motion turns to be quenched as the sample is cooled below Ts. The variation of quadrupole splitting near Ts is not similar to a steplike anomaly frequently seen at the charge-ordering transition. We observe instead a dip-like anomaly of the average quadrupole splitting near Ts. Narrow distribution of the electric field gradient (EFG) over different cobalt sites is observed and explained on the basis of point-charge model. XAFS spectra show no evidence of significant difference between YBaCo4O7 (T > Ts) and HoBaCo4O7 (T < Ts). The origin of the transition at Ts is ascribed to the condensation of the libration phonon mode associated with the rigid-body rotational movements of the starlike tetrahedral units, the building blocks of kagome network. It is shown that the condensation of the libration mode is not compatible with translation symmetry for the hexagonal S.G., but compatible for the orthorhombic S.G. The orthorhombic lattice parameters and EFG components (Vxx, Vyy, Vzz) vary smoothly with temperature at approaching Ts and closely follow each other.

description: Die Mobilisierung von rechtsgerichteten religiösen Bewegungen zur Unterstützung von autokratischen Regimen wie etwa in Bolsonaros Brasilien oder Trumps USA stellt die durch die Aufklärung errungene Laizität des Staates in Frage. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die in diesen religiös-politischen Strategien inhärente identitätspolitische Logik. Nach einer Einführung zu theoretischen Aspekten von Identitätspolitiken und einer Unterscheidung von Typen religiös-politischer Strategien werden knapp besondere Charakteristika von Brasilien, Guatemala, Mexiko, Kolumbien und den USA beleuchtet. Im letzten Abschnitt wird, als Resultat der vorausgegangenen Überlegungen, das identitätspolitische Ränkespiel der religiösen Rechten mit Religionsfreiheit und Laizität entwirrt. Nowadays, right wing religious mobilization challenges the secularity of the State, an important achievement of Enlightenment, in support of autocratic regimes as for instance Bolsonaro’s Brazil and Trump’s United States. In the present article, the author analyzes the logic of identity politics, inherent to these religious-political strategies. The article starts with reflections on theoretical aspects of identity politics and a typology of protestant actors according to their religious-political strategies. Afterwards, we briefly examine particular characteristics of Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia and the USA. As a conclusion from these observations, in the last chapter we unravel the identity-political scheming with religious liberty and secularism.

description: Purpose This study aimed to understand the experiences of raising a child with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in a group of Hispanic immigrant mothers. The following 3 aspects were explored: (a) the families' social environments, (b) cultural beliefs on development and autism, and (c) perceptions of bilingualism influencing language choices. Method In-depth 3-part phenomenological interviews and thematic analyses were conducted with 22 Hispanic immigrant mothers of preschool children with ASD.
Results A total of 3 thematic categories emerged: stigmatization and social isolation, preconceptions about developmental milestones and autism, and mothers' reluctance to speak Spanish with their children. A lack of awareness about autism influenced social isolation, and autism was viewed as temporary and associated with fear or sadness. The mothers believed that exposure to 2 languages would increase their children's language difficulties.
Conclusions Hispanic immigrant mothers raising children with autism were often challenged by immigration status, economic hardship, and advice against using Spanish with their children. Professional training and parent education are needed to facilitate early identification of ASD. Immigrant families should be encouraged to communicate in the home language with their children. Information about ASD should be disseminated through community outreach, home–school connections, and pediatricians, who remain pivotal in informing Hispanic immigrant families.
Post-disaster royal commissions : lesson-learning and the implementation of recommendations
Creators: name: Whiley, HA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Australia's continued adoption of post-disaster inquiries, specifically royal commissions to investigate and evaluate preparedness, responses and the aftermath of catastrophic disasters suggests it is an appropriate tool for identifying lessons and learning opportunities that mitigate their future impacts. Critiques of the approach question the ability for post-disaster inquiries to create lessons that mitigate future impacts of disasters, and to improve responses, and preparedness through the implementation of their recommendations and findings. Three case studies are used to understand how post-disaster inquiries undertake their investigation: the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the 2010-11 Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry, and the 2010-11 Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission. This thesis uses these cases to comparatively analyse and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of royal commissions as a tool for lesson-learning from a disaster. Throughout its analysis of these cases, this thesis focuses on decision-making throughout their establishment, investigation, and post-investigation stages. It looks at how the impacts of these decisions affect an inquiry's outcomes, notably through the implementation of its recommendations. This thesis concludes by reaffirming the continued usefulness of post-disaster royal commissions. It highlights that changes to the way we think about and undertake these will make them more effective, appropriate, and useful for ensuring implementation of lessons that mitigate the impact of future disasters. Key to this is considering the establishment, investigation, and post-investigation stages of a post-disaster inquiry as part of one process, where responsibility for the implementation, evaluation, and consideration of recommendations is made throughout. This thesis develops a series of recommendations to improve the effectiveness, operation, and outcomes of post-disaster royal commissions. It is argued that central to this is viewing post-disaster inquiries as part of a wider process of disaster policy development, where the focus is on the disaster type, rather than a specific event.

description: The Russian-American experiment SAGE began to measure the solar neutrino capture rate with a target of gallium metal in Dec. 1989. Measurements have continued with only a few brief interruptions since that time. We give here the experimental improvements in SAGE since its last published data summary in Dec. 2001. Assuming the solar neutrino production rate was constant during the period of data collection, combined analysis of 168 extractions through Dec. 2007 gives a capture rate of solar neutrinos with energy more than 233 keV of 65.4 (+3.1)(-3.0) (stat) (+2.6)(-2.8) (syst) SNU. The weighted average of the results of all three Ga solar neutrino experiments, SAGE, Gallex, and GNO, is now 66.1 +/- 3.1 SNU, where statistical and systematic uncertainties have been combined in quadrature. During the recent period of data collection a new test of SAGE was made with a reactor-produced 37Ar neutrino source. The ratio of observed to calculated rates in this experiment, combined with the measured rates in the three prior 51Cr neutrino-source experiments with Ga, is 0.87 +/- 0.05. A probable explanation for this low result is that the cross section for neutrino capture by the two lowest-lying excited states in 71Ge has been overestimated. If we assume these cross sections are zero, then the standard solar model including neutrino oscillations predicts a total capture rate in Ga in the range of 63-66 SNU with an uncertainty of about 4%, in good agreement with experiment. We derive the current value of the neutrino flux produced in the Sun by the proton-proton fusion reaction to be (6.0 +/- 0.8) x 10^(10)/(cm^2 s), which agrees well with the pp flux predicted by the standard solar model. Finally, we show that the data are consistent with the assumption that the solar neutrino production rate is constant in time.

Kritik der Identitätspolitik in der Demokratie

description: Der Begriff »Identitätspolitik« ist seit geraumer Zeit negativ beleumundet und markiert in zeitgenössischen Debatten geradezu die Negativfolie der beobachtbaren Identitätsbildungsprozesse in pluralistischen Gesellschaften. Demgegenüber will der Beitrag eine Kritik der Identitätspolitik konturieren, die den ambivalenten Rahmen der Demokratie als geeigneten Referenzpunkt für eine differenzierte Betrachtungsweise in Anspruch nimmt. Das widersprüchliche Oszillieren des Identitätskonzepts zwischen Gleichheit und Unterschied kommt dabei ebenso zum Tragen wie ein vertiefendes Verständnis, warum sich eine Polarisierung des politischen Diskurses besonders leicht an Fragen der (kollektiven) Identität entzündet. Vor diesem komplexen Hintergrund soll schließlich die vorgezeichnete »Unlösbarkeit« des identitätspolitischen Problems in der Demokratie als positives Indiz dafür gewendet werden, wie zumindest Extreme wie die gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit zu vermeiden sind. Since a couple of time, the term »identity politics« has been negatively connotated. In contemporary debates it virtually marks the negative foil of the formations of identity being observed in pluralistic societies. In contrast, this article aims to outline a critique of identity politics that deals with the ambivalent framework of democracy as an adequate point of reference in order to develop a comprehensive approach. In this respect, the paradox oscillation of identity between equality and difference will be brought to bear as well as a deeper understanding of why a polarization of political discourses is easily provoked by issues and questions of (collective) identity. Against this complex background, the predestined »unsolvability« of the problem identity politics means for democracy is to be used as a positive indication how at least extremes such as group-focused enmity can be avoided.

description: Purpose: Aims of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects and toxicity of Se-loaded cellulose film originated from Styela clava tunic (SeSCTF) on cutaneous wounds during diabetic conditions. Materials and methods: Alterations in skin regeneration, angiogenesis and toxicity were examined using streptozotocine (STZ)-induced diabetic Sprague Dawley® (SD) rats with surgical skin wounds after application of SeSCTF for 12 days. Results: SCTF showed high tensile strength (1.64 MPa), low elongation (28.59%), low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and outstanding porous structure. Although SeSCTF application did not induce any significant alterations in glucose concentration or toxicity, wound morphology was rapidly recovered in the SeSCTF treated group relative to the gauze (GZ) and SCTF treated group. Moreover, recovery of re-epithelization, wound contraction and number of blood vessel was observed in SeSCTF treated groups when compared with all other groups. Furthermore, the SeSCTF treated group showed complete recovery of key protein expressions of the downstream signaling pathway of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-2/1 (Ang-2/1), the signaling pathway of insulin receptors and anti-oxidative status. Conclusions: Overall, the results of this study suggest that SeSCTF accelerates the healing process of cutaneous wounds in STZ-induced diabetic SD rats through stimulation of angiogenesis and the glucose receptor signaling pathway.

description: Kulturell-mehrheitsorientierte Identitätspolitiken zielen darauf, die kulturelle Identität alteingesessener gesellschaftlich dominanter Mehrheiten zu schützen und zu bewahren. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Rolle von Religion im Kontext aktueller Debatten über kulturell-mehrheitsorientierte Identitätspolitiken. Dabei analysiere ich zunächst wie verschiedene Vorstellungen von Religion konstruiert werden und welche Funktion sie in konkreten identitätspolitischen Vorschlägen und Debatten haben. Daran anschließend gehe ich der Frage nach, inwiefern derartige Identitätspolitiken das Recht auf Religionsfreiheit relativieren, beziehungsweise welchen Einfluss bestimmte kulturell-mehrheitsorientierte Identitätspolitiken auf Bedingungen für die Ausübung von Religionsfreiheit haben können. This contribution concerns the role of religion in the context of cultural-majoritarian identity politics. Such identity politics aims at the conservation and protection of what is construed as ‘national identity’ or cultural identity of the predominant majority in society. I analyse the role of religion in such identity politics, both as cultural basis of society and as ‘significant other’ that is framed as ‘foreign’ and not really belonging to society and ‘national identity’ respectively. Finally, I investigate whether and to what extent particular forms of cultural-majoritarian identity politics are at odds with an egalitarian understanding of the right to freedom of religion.

description: This paper presents a brief survey on Automatic Speech Recognition and discusses the major themes and advances made in the past 60 years of research, so as to provide a technological perspective and an appreciation of the fundamental progress that has been accomplished in this important area of speech communication. After years of research and development the accuracy of automatic speech recognition remains one of the important research challenges (e.g., variations of the context, speakers, and environment).The design of Speech Recognition system requires careful attentions to the following issues: Definition of various types of speech classes, speech representation, feature extraction techniques, speech classifiers, database and performance evaluation. The problems that are existing in ASR and the various techniques to solve these problems constructed by various research workers have been presented in a chronological order. Hence authors hope that this work shall be a contribution in the area of speech recognition. The objective of this review paper is to summarize and compare some of the well known methods used in various stages of speech recognition system and identify research topic and applications which are at the forefront of this exciting and challenging field.

description: Observations of compact objects in the electromagnetic spectrum and the detection of gravitational waves from them can lead to quantitative tests of the theory of general relativity in the strong-field regime following two very different approaches. In the first approach, the general relativistic field equations are modified at a fundamental level and the magnitudes of the potential deviations are constrained by comparison with observations. In the second approach, the exterior spacetimes of compact objects are parametrized in a phenomenological way, the various parameters are measured observationally, and the results are finally compared against the general relativistic predictions. In this article, I discuss the current status of both approaches, focusing on the lessons learned from a large number of recent investigations.

Kollektive Identität aus christlicher Sicht: Von der Pseudospeziation zum offenen Patriotismus

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Krisenzeiten drängen das Gruppenwesen Mensch zum Rückzug in geschlossene Gesellschaften. Anthropologisch lässt sich das mit Konzepten der Pseudospeziation oder des parochialen Altruismus erklären. Verstärkte Konkurrenz, die mit der Globalisierung einhergeht, stärkt heute populistische Tendenzen hin zur geschlossenen Gesellschaft. Henri Bergsons Unterscheidung zwischen der statischen und der dynamischen Religion zeigt dazu ergänzend, welcher Typ von Religion solche Abschließungstendenzen fördert und welcher Typ den Weg in die offene Gesellschaft ermöglichen kann. Ein abschließender Schritt folgt Bergsons Hinweis auf einen offenen Patriotismus und beschreibt, wie eine Stärkung dynamischer Religion diesen fördern kann. Times of crisis push human beings, a clannish creature, to retreat into closed societies. Anthropologically this can be explained with concepts of pseudo-speciation or parochial altruism. Increased competition, which goes hand in hand with globalization, today strengthens populist tendencies towards a closed society. In addition, Henri Bergson's distinction between static and dynamic religion shows which type of religion promotes such tendencies of closure and which type can facilitate the path into open society. A final step follows Bergson's reference to open patriotism and describes how strengthening dynamic religion can promote it.

"Organische" oder "solidaristische" Solidarität als Alternative zu kollektiver Identität?
Creators: name: Große Kracht, Hermann-Josef
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Durkheims Konzept der ‚organischen Solidarität‘ gehört zu den Schlüsselwörtern seiner berühmten Studie ‚Über soziale Arbeitsteilung‘ aus dem Jahr 1893, auch wenn er diesen Begriff später stillschweigend fallengelassen hat. Der junge Durkheim unterschied zwischen der ‚mechanischen Solidarität‘ als primärer Form des über die Religion und das Kollektivbewusstsein vermittelten sozialen Zusammenhalts traditionaler Gesellschaften und der ‚organischen Solidarität‘ als des über soziale Arbeitsteilung und berufliche Differenzierung vermittelten sozialen Zusammenhalts moderner Gesellschaften.Dieser kurze Artikel fragt nach dem potenziellen Wert der Durkheimschen Topoi von ‚organischer Solidarität‘ und ‚Kult des Individuums‘ für eine ‚postliberale‘ Sozialethik, die sich in der kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem aus dem rechtspopulistischen Milieus stammenden Vorstellungen einer ‚exklusivistischen‘ Solidarität bewähren will. Durkheims concept of ‘organic solidarity’ is one of the key words of his famous study ‘The Division of Labour in Society’ (1893), a notion Durkheim later on dropped silently. The young Durkheim focused on ‘mechanical solidarity’ as primary form of social cohesion in traditional and small-scale societies based upon the homogenity of individuals integrated strongly by religion and collective conscience. In modern societies on the over hand social cohesion results from the interdependence that arises between people by the processes of differentiation and the specialization of work (‘organic’ solidarity).This short article examines the relevance of durkheimian topics such as ‘organic solidarity’ or ‘cult of the individual’ for a ‘postliberal’ social ethics, looking to overcome right-wing populism and their concept of ‘exlcusivistic’ solidarity.

description: The unusual electronic properties of single-layer graphene make it a promising material system for fundamental advances in physics, and an attractive platform for new device technologies. Graphene's spin transport properties are expected to be particularly interesting, with predictions for extremely long coherence times and intrinsic spin-polarized states at zero field. In order to test such predictions, it is necessary to measure the spin polarization of electrical currents in graphene. Here, we resolve spin transport directly from conductance features that are caused by quantum interference. These features split visibly in an in-plane magnetic field, similar to Zeeman splitting in atomic and quantum dot systems. The spin-polarized conductance features that are the subject of this work may, in the future, lead to the development of graphene devices incorporating interference-based spin filters.

description: An external magnetic field has been applied in laterally coupled dots (QDs) and we have studied the QD properties related to charge decoherence. The significance of the applied magnetic field to the suppression of electron-phonon relaxation and dephasing rates has been explored. The coupled QDs have been studied by varing the magnetic field and the interdot distance as other system parameters. Our numerical results show that the electron scattering rates are strongly dependent on the applied external magnetic field and the details of the double QD configuration.

Sozialethik ohne Herdenzugehörigkeit. Elemente einer anti-identitären Sozialethik
Creators: name: Becka, Michelle
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Eine anti-identitäre Sozialethik ist ein Beitrag zur Gestaltung einer Gesellschaft, die auf der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung aufbaut. Sie bleibt aber nicht bei der Verteidigung eines Ist-Zustands stehen, sondern intendiert Verbesserung. Dabei zielt sie auf die Erweiterung von Freiheitsräumen und Rechten aller, nicht nur einiger. Der Begriff der kollektiven Identität muss dabei nicht notwendiger Weise aufgegeben, aber kritisch reinterpretiert werden. Dazu trägt dieser Aufsatz bei, indem er erstens Verwendungsweisen und Implikationen kollektiver Identität kritisiert, zweitens in der Auseinandersetzung mit Judith Shklar ein Gesellschaftsmodell der Freiheit verteidigt und von diesem ausgehend drittens Schlussfolgerungen für eine anti-identitäre Christliche Sozialethik zieht. Anti-identitarian social ethics is a contribution to the construction of a society based on the liberal basic democratic order. However, it does not stop at defending an actual state of affairs, but aims at improvement. In doing so, it aims at the expansion of freedom and rights for all people, not just some. The concept of collective identity does not necessarily have to be abandoned, but it must be critically reinterpreted. This essay contributes to this by criticizing the ways in which collective identity is used and its implications, and by defending a social model of freedom in the discussion with Judith Shklar. Thenceforward it draws conclusions for an anti-identitarian Christian social ethics

Konturen einer anti-identitären Sozialethik
Creators: name: Lesch, Walter
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2020

description: Eine anti-identitäre Sozialethik beschäftigt sich selbstkritisch mit Phänomenen der Exklusion und der Inklusion. Dabei kann sie nicht völlig auf Identitätsdiskurse verzichten, da sowohl Identitäten des Individuums als auch Gruppenidentitäten für eine normative Theorie der Gesellschaft konstitutiv sind. Der Beitrag rekonstruiert die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung mit identitären Extremen vor dem Hintergrund der schon einige Jahrzehnte zurückliegenden Debatte zwischen Liberalismus und Kommunitarismus, in der es zumindest strukturell um vergleichbare Fragen ging. Die bis heute andauernde Diskussion kreist letztlich um eine Krise von Grundannahmen des politischen Liberalismus, der massiv unter Druck geraten ist. Die unvermeidbare Verständigung über fluide und offene Identitäten ist zu unterscheiden von identitätpolitischen Zuspitzungen, auf die sozialethisch in Stil und Themenwahl mit Mitteln geantwortet werden kann, mit denen sich identitäre Verkrampfungen in einigen Fällen lösen lassen. An anti-identitary social ethics has a self-critical approach of phenomena of exclusion and inclusion. However, it cannot completely do without identity discourses because the identities of individuals and of groups are constitutive for a normative theory of society. The article reconstructs the current confrontation with identity-laden extremes in the light of the debate between liberalism and communitarianism that started some decades ago dealing with at least structurally comparable questions. The ongoing debate is finally on the crisis of key assumptions of political liberalism that is massively under pressure. The unavoidable communication on fluid and open identities has to be distinguished from the options of identity politics. Social ethics can reply by a specific style and the choice of topics and thus provide resources which can sometimes relieve tensions caused by simplistic assignations of identity.

An Extension for Combination of Duty Constraints in Role-Based Access Control

description: Among access control models, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is very useful and is used in many computer systems. Static Combination of Duty (SCD) and Dynamic Combination of Duty (DCD) constraints have been introduced recently for this model to handle dependent roles. These roles must be used together and can be considered as a contrary point of conflicting roles. In this paper, we propose several new types of SCD and DCD constraints. Also, we introduce strong dependent roles and define new groups of SCD constraints for these types of roles as SCD with common items and SCD with union items. In addition, we present an extension for SCD constraints in the presence of hierarchy.

Antiidentitäre Sozialethik

description: Lässt sich in der akademischen Arbeit an einer sozialethischen Theorie, dass diese Theorie auf einem politischen Handlungsfeld orientierend in Richtung von Identitätspolitik wirkt? Mit Aussicht auf die potentiell destruktiven Wirkungen von Identitätspolitik wird diese Frage mit »nein« beantwortet. Daraus wird der Schluss gezogen, dass Sozialethik so betrieben werden sollte, dass sie nicht zur Orientierung von Identitätspolitik genommen werden kann, dass sie – mehr noch – politischen Akteuren identitätspolitische Absichten und Neigungen »ausredet«. Can it be justified in academic work on a social-ethical theory that this theory has an orientation towards identity politics in a political field of action? In view of the potentially destructive effects of identity politics, the answer to this question is "no". The conclusion from this is drawn that social ethics should be pursued in such a way that it cannot be taken as an orientation for identity politics. Instead, it must persuade political actors out of their intentions and inclinations to identity policy.

The distribution of the life history stages of Calanus plumchrus Marukawa (Copepoda : Calanoida) in the Strait of Georgia
Creators: name: Gardner, Grant A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The relationship between Calanus plumchrus and hydrographic parameters has been investigated. The copepod is associated with Strait of Georgia bottom water from July to January. This association is not found in the early developmental stages, which are present from February to July and are most commonly in near surface waters. The onset of maturation and breeding precedes the spring phytoplankton bloom; some environmental parameters appear to function as cues to this timing. The nature of these cues is not clear; no single parameter would seem to be capable of producing the observed effect. C. plumchrus overwinters in a state of arrested development similar to diapause.
