description: In a paradigmatic selection, the Special Issue unites contributions from biology, sustainability research, psychology and philosophy as well as media science and literary studies. It aims to discuss to what extent and on what basis the concept of nature is treated in the Anthropocene discourse with new perspectives, intentions and narratives. Not only the possibly changed conditions for a definition of nature in the Anthropocene are questioned, but also the necessity of an inter- and transdisciplinary opening, which goes along with this questioning and its connection with theoretical and practical issues.

description: Libraries at small- and mid-sized academic institutions continue to re-define themselves as journal and monograph collections go online, budgets and staffing remain flat or reduced, and value to student learning and the institutional mission needs to be apparent. This all spells opportunity for archival programs which, with a strong focus on advocacy and daylighting formerly hidden collections of unique content, can re-invigorate the library and spotlight the active role today's service- and user-oriented archives can play in supporting student research, fostering ties with constituents, and ensuring the preservation of an institution's stories and history. A recently-completed National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)-funded grant project involving seven private institutions in Washington and Oregon utilized a focus on effective advocacy and consulting archivists to move archival programs to the next level. Despite limited resource levels at most of the institutions, tangible and sustainable progress was made on describing collections, establishing best-practices and policies, and perhaps most importantly, cultivating a strong ethic of persistent, creative, low-cost advocacy and outreach.

description: We performed radiofrequency (RF) reflectometry measurements at 2.4 GHz on electrolyte-gated graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) utilizing a tunable stub-matching circuit for impedance matching. We demonstrate that the gate voltage dependent RF resistivity of graphene can be deduced even in the presence of the electrolyte which is in direct contact with the graphene layer. The RF resistivity is found to be consistent with its DC counterpart in the full gate voltage range. Furthermore, in order to access the potential of high-frequency sensing for applications, we demonstrate time-dependent gating in solution with nanosecond time resolution.

description: Their positive potential often diminishes or even turns negative when antecedents of creativity are taken too far. Despite empirical evidence supporting such curvilinear effects on important outcomes of creative work at the individual and team levels, their theorizing remains rather incomplete, with more attention being paid to explaining the curves’ upward rather than downward slopes. By developing a multilevel antecedent-benefit-cost (ABC) framework that synthesizes 120 quantitative-empirical studies on curvilinear effects, this review guides creativity and innovation literature toward conceptual clarity and methodological precision across levels. This is important because the cost-related mechanisms of certain antecedents are still not well understood.
title: Strategies for Feminist Theatre Translation: Minna Canth's The Worker's Wife from Finnish to English
Creators: name: Jeffery, Minna
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This practice as research PhD aims to propose practical strategies for feminist translators of texts for performance. The strategies have been explored by translating The Worker's Wife (1885) by playwright Minna Canth from Finnish to English. The work comprises a thesis (the critical exegesis), a portfolio of practice documentation, and a translation of the play, which is accompanied by a translator's note and extensive annotations. The research is multidisciplinary, encompassing the fields of translation studies, drama, gender studies and, through exploration of the case study text, Finnish literary studies. Although existing scholarship addresses feminist translation practice and theatre translation separately, there is a lack of scholarship addressing the two together. This research brings these two fields together to explore what it means for a feminist translator to translate texts for performance, the particular considerations this entails and possibilities it offers. The research draws on the 'womanhandling' (Godard, 1989) approach and feminist translation theories and practices of the Canadian feminist translators of the 1970-90s. In particular, the thesis is guided by Massardier-Kenney's (1997) recategorization of those strategies, taking recovery, resistancy (after Venuti), and collaboration as starting points for exploration in a theatrical context. Crucially, it considers how the performance situation and theatrical conditions impact the work, seeking to reformulate these strategies for theatre texts. The feminist translator makes interventions in the text on political grounds. This thesis proposes that the feminist theatre translator takes on the role of theatre-maker, and uses the theatrical dimension of a performance text as a site for intervention. Strategies have been trialled through the practical work of translating The Worker's Wife, and through collaboration with a director, and holding two readings of the play, employing a practice as research methodology. This thesis also offers an extensive commentary on The Worker's Wife by Minna Canth, introducing this revolutionary, feminist playwright to an anglophone readership. It argues for the play to be categorised as an example of feminist social realist drama, which makes pioneering use of techniques foreshadowing subsequent developments in European political playwriting.

description: The 2013 book Archival Arrangement and Description, the first installment in SAA’s “Trends in Archival Practice,” has broad appeal for archivists with different professional duties and in a variety of repository settings. Published as both an e-book and a print edition, this book is built on flexibility and user needs. Editors Christopher J. Prom and Thomas J. Frusciano offer a great introduction for the three modules that constitute the book, calling for archivists to archivists embrace change and professional evolution. Sibyl Schaefer and Janet M. Bunde begin the book with an exploration of how standards facilitate intellectual control and improve access, J. Gordon Daines III examines practices and procedures for processing and providing access to digital records and manuscripts in the second section, and Daniel A. Santamaria discusses methods for making descriptive information and archival materials available online in the final section. The sections include broad discussions and detailed specifics about the topics, allowing the reader to learn more about a topic generally or narrow in on their immediate need for information.

description: The importance of citizenship norms—shared understandings of how citizens ought to participate in society—has been discussed at length in the past two decades, particularly in conversations around changing notions of citizenship in the digital age. Yet, most studies have gravitated between the two poles of dutiful and self-actualizing citizenship. In this study, we explore which citizenship norms people express related to their political participation in social media environments and which affordances and experiences in social media environments shape these norms. Through interviews and focus group discussions, we found that citizenship norms emerge in response to positive and negative experiences in social media environments. We found three groups of norms that are distinctive to the networked environments of social media: individual information care, discourse care, and considered contribution. These can serve as conceptual frames for understanding the normative underpinnings of discursive participation in social media environments from the perspective of ordinary citizens.

description: We investigate the process of rapid star formation quenching in a sample of 12 massive galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.6) that host high-velocity ionized gas outflows (v>1000 km/s). We conclude that these fast outflows are most likely driven by feedback from star formation rather than active galactic nuclei (AGN). We use multiwavelength survey and targeted observations of the galaxies to assess their star formation, AGN activity, and morphology. Common attributes include diffuse tidal features indicative of recent mergers accompanied by bright, unresolved cores with effective radii less than a few hundred parsecs. The galaxies are extraordinarily compact for their stellar mass, even when compared with galaxies at z~2-3. For 9/12 galaxies, we rule out an AGN contribution to the nuclear light and hypothesize that the unresolved core comes from a compact central starburst triggered by the dissipative collapse of very gas-rich progenitor merging disks. We find evidence of AGN activity in half the sample but we argue that it accounts for only a small fraction (<10%) of the total bolometric luminosity. We find no correlation between AGN activity and outflow velocity and we conclude that the fast outflows in our galaxies are not powered by on-going AGN activity, but rather by recent, extremely compact starbursts.

description: Sufi cults were of the most effective cultural groups in the Anatolia during Seljuk period of Rome and they had numerous followers among kings, princes, dignitaries as well as rural and urban people. Overviewing the Sufi orders of this region shows importance of three creeds of Mevleviye,Bektashiye and Awhadiyyein growth, expansion and development of the Sufism. The presence and status of women in mentioned creeds haven’t been taken into consideration noticeably and properly at the most of researches which studies these sufi creeds. This study intends to explain, authenticate and compare the cultural activitiesof women in Seljuk period of Anatolia with emphasis on these three creeds through a descriptive method.The results of this study showsthat women who were affected by doctrine of any of the mentioned creeds,despite of their differences in social status and the utilizationamount of resources, power and wealth and also their difference in adherence to beliefs and obedience of religious rules, they dealt with various cultural activities such as holding religious ceremonies and rituals of Sufism, attendinglectures of Sufi masters, building public places such as mosques, baths, schools and tekiehs, caliphate and administration of monasteries and feeding the poor. It seems that they have played a significant role in the growth, expansion and development of Sufism in the Seljuk period of Anatoliathrough their active and influential presence.

description: When does anger lead to greater polarization? As societal polarization and political polarization increase so does academic interest in its antecedents. One important cause of polarization appears to be anger. However, existing research linking anger and political polarization has focused primarily on the context of partisanship and did not distinguish between different types of anger nor different forms of polarization. To address this gap in the literature, we analyze how generalized versus issue-specific anger amplify issue-based and affective polarization in the highly charged context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We test these relationships through a survey experiment embedded in a national German sample (n = 2857) and show that anger is linked to polarization. However, we also show that different forms of anger influence different aspects of polarization. Issue polarization is driven primarily by generalized anger, while corona-specific anger increases affective polarization. Together, these results underline the importance of understanding the emotional nuances of polarization. More generally, the results illustrate the problems policy makers face when navigating heavily contested and emotionally charged topics. While increased anger may be helpful for mobilizing support among already supportive citizens, it does little to convince skeptical citizens and carries the cost of increasing societal polarization.

description: Learning to process archival collections as an intern or student processor constitutes many archivists’ first practical understanding of the archival enterprise. Though this experience is an excellent hands-on opportunity for many nascent archivists to sharpen their project management skills, it does not fully prepare them to manage an archival processing program. Few students in archival graduate programs receive in-depth management training, leaving many to learn effective management techniques without formal guidance. With How to Manage Processing in Archives and Special Collections, Pam Hackbart-Dean and Elizabeth Slomba set out to offer archivists a comprehensive, practical toolbox for managing a processing program. Geared towards new professionals, small institutions, and lone arrangers, this publication addresses key components of planning and implementing a successful program. The authors consider methodologies that will promote efficiency and consistency with an emphasis on how to best serve the needs of patrons.

description: It has recently been proposed that the dwarf spheroidal galaxies located in the Local Group disks of satellites (DoSs) may be tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) born in a major merger at least 5 Gyr ago. Whether TDGs can live that long is still poorly constrained by observations. As part of deep optical and HI surveys with the CFHT MegaCam camera and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope made within the ATLAS3D project, and follow-up spectroscopic observations with the Gemini-North telescope, we have discovered old TDG candidates around several early-type galaxies. At least one of them has an oxygen abundance close to solar, as expected for a tidal origin. This confirmed pre-enriched object is located within the gigantic, but very low surface brightness, tidal tail that emanates from the elliptical galaxy, NGC 5557. An age of 4 Gyr estimated from its SED fitting makes it the oldest securely identified TDG ever found so far. We investigated the structural and gaseous properties of the TDG and of a companion located in the same collisional debris, and thus most likely of tidal origin as well. Despite several Gyr of evolution close to their parent galaxies, they kept a large gas reservoir. Their central surface brightness is low and their effective radius much larger than that of typical dwarf galaxies of the same mass. This possibly provides us with criteria to identify tidal objects which can be more easily checked than the traditional ones requiring deep spectroscopic observations. In view of the above, we discuss the survival time of TDGs and question the tidal origin of the DoSs.

description: Coordinated optimal dispatch is of utmost importance for the efficient and secure operation of hierarchically structured power systems. Conventional coordinated optimization methods, such as the Lagrangian relaxation and Benders decomposition, require iterative information exchange among subsystems. Iterative coordination methods have drawbacks including slow convergence, risk of oscillation and divergence, and incapability of multi-level optimization problems. To this end, this paper aims at the non-iterative coordinated optimization method for hierarchical power systems. The theory of the equivalent projection (EP) is proposed, which makes external equivalence of the optimal dispatch model of the subsystem. Based on the EP theory, a coordinated optimization framework is developed, where each subsystem submits the EP model as a substitute for its original model to participate in the cross-system coordination. The proposed coordination framework is proven to guarantee the same optimality as the joint optimization, with additional benefits of avoiding iterative information exchange, protecting privacy, compatibility with practical dispatch scheme, and capability of multi-level problems.

description: This two-part paper develops a non-iterative coordinated optimal dispatch framework, i.e., free of iterative information exchange, via the innovation of the equivalent projection (EP) theory. The EP eliminates internal variables from technical and economic operation constraints of the subsystem and obtains an equivalent model with reduced scale, which is the key to the non-iterative coordinated optimization. In Part II of this paper, a novel projection algorithm with the explicit error guarantee measured by the Hausdorff distance is proposed, which characterizes the EP model by the convex hull of its vertices. This algorithm is proven to yield a conservative approximation within the prespecified error tolerance and can obtain the exact EP model if the error tolerance is set to zero, which provides flexibility to balance the computation accuracy and effort. Applications of the EP-based coordinated dispatch are demonstrated based on the multi-area coordination and transmission-distribution coordination. Case studies with a wide range of system scales verify the superiority of the proposed projection algorithm in terms of computational efficiency and scalability, and validate the effectiveness of the EP-based coordinated dispatch in comparison with the joint optimization.

description: The population of the Galactic X-ray binaries has been mostly probed with moderately sensitive hard X-ray surveys so far. The eRosita mission will provide, for the first time a sensitive all-sky X-ray survey in the 2-10 keV energy range, where the X-ray binaries emit most of the flux and discover the still unobserved low-luminosity population of these objects. In this paper, we briefly review the current constraints for the X-ray luminosity functions of high- and low-mass X-ray binaries and present our own analysis based the INTEGRAL 9-year Galactic survey, which yields improved constraints. Based on these results, we estimate the number of new XRBs to be detected in the eRosita all-sky survey

description: Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (SA-BSI) is a serious and potentially fatal problem in haemodialysis patients. An effective S. aureus vaccine would have significant benefits in this group. Previous antibody-inducing vaccine candidates failed to prevent or attenuate SA-BSI and it is now accepted that next-generation anti- S. aureus vaccines must also induce effective T-cell-mediated immunity. Recent advances have helped to elucidate the role of specific T-cell subsets, notably Th1 and Th17 cells, which coordinate an effective phagocytic response via cytokine production, in the immune response to S. aureus.Haemodialysis patients are immunocompromised and demonstrate poor responses to many vaccines. They also have specific T-cell defects, which may affect their ability to respond to S. aureus infection and, potentially, a future vaccine. We need a better understanding of T-cell-mediated immunity in these patients, who are important targets for a S. aureus vaccine.Here, we describe 65 haemodialysis patients, recruited from a population of 151. Just over half were male, the median age was 61 (range 23- 89) and chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetes mellitus were the commonest aetiologies of kidney disease. Proportions of peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets were determined and S. aureus antigen-specific CD4 cell responses were assessed. In patients with documented previous S. aureus exposure (n=41; 63%), a lower proportion of Th2 cells was observed than in those without. S. aureus antigen-specific Th1 cell proliferation appeared to be higher in patients with documented previous S. aureus exposure than in those without.In six haemodialysis patients who developed SA-BSI, T-cell responses varied widely; clinical features and infection outcome also differed between patients, but further recruitment is required to demonstrate associations.This research adds to existing knowledge about the importance of Th1 cells in the immune response to S. aureus and provides novel insights into cell-mediated immunity in haemodialysis patients.

description: The Shapley value---probably the most important normative payoff division scheme in coalitional games---has recently been advocated as a useful measure of centrality in networks. However, although this approach has a variety of real-world applications (including social and organisational networks, biological networks and communication networks), its computational properties have not been widely studied. To date, the only practicable approach to compute Shapley value-based centrality has been via Monte Carlo simulations which are computationally expensive and not guaranteed to give an exact answer. Against this background, this paper presents the first study of the computational aspects of the Shapley value for network centralities. Specifically, we develop exact analytical formulae for Shapley value-based centrality in both weighted and unweighted networks and develop efficient (polynomial time) and exact algorithms based on them. We empirically evaluate these algorithms on two real-life examples (an infrastructure network representing the topology of the Western States Power Grid and a collaboration network from the field of astrophysics) and demonstrate that they deliver significant speedups over the Monte Carlo approach. For instance, in the case of unweighted networks our algorithms are able to return the exact solution about 1600 times faster than the Monte Carlo approximation, even if we allow for a generous 10% error margin for the latter method.

description: Quantum weak measurements with states both pre- and postselected offer a window into a hitherto neglected sector of quantum mechanics. A class of such systems involves time dependent evolution with transitions possible. In this paper we explore two very simple systems in this class. The first is a toy model representing the decay of an excited atom. The second is the tunneling of a particle through a barrier. The postselection criteria are chosen as follows: at the final time, the "atom" remains in its initial excited state for the first example and the particle remains behind the barrier for the second. We then ask what weak values are predicted in the physical environment of the "atom" (to which no net energy has been transferred) and in the region beyond the barrier (to which the particle has not tunneled). Previous work suggests that very large weak values might arise in these regions for long durations between pre- and postselection times. Our calculations reveal some distinct differences between the two model systems.

description: The objective of this article is to conceptualize affective polarization beyond partisan politics to instead analyze the ways in which women’s affective political participation is subject to toxic discipline. While a lot of focus has been placed on affective politics as mechanisms for governance, little has been done regarding affective polarization after feminist protest. In this article, we bridge two bodies of literature—affective politics and political polarization—by proposing the notion of affective polarization. We focused on the case of a series of feminist mobilizations that took place to fight back against the impunity of police violence in Mexico. We conducted a mixed-method approach that combines, on one hand, quantitative analysis of data strand tweets encompassing #EllasNoMeRepresentan (TheyDoNotRepresentMe) (N = 17,698) and #EllasSiMeRepresentan (TheyDoRepresentMe) (N = 6700) and, on the other hand, a qualitative analysis of 500 tweets of each hashtag. The results of the study revealed the existence of polarization that aims at disciplining the affective political participation of women. Almost half of our data contain negative sentiments. The toxic tweets include corrective threats, such as incitation to sexual violence, murder, hate against feminism, and patronizing discourses about how women should protest. We thus conclude that while it is true that social media has amplified feminist mobilization, it has also led to an increase of digital violence. With these findings, the article contributes to a better understanding of both feminist affective politics and its disciplining governing mechanisms in a patriarchal social media.

description: The current study investigated the effect of sample size on the number of items that show differential functioning (DIF) and the number of distractors that also show differential functioning (DDF) using the Mantel-Haenszel procedure. Data came from a national 8th grade mathematics exam that is composed of 40 multiple-choice items that was administered to 40,000 examinees. Eight samples with 250, 500 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 15000, and 20000 examinees were randomly selected. The findings of the current study indicated that increasing sample size increased the number of items detected with DIF and DDF. In addition, larger sample sizes are needed to detect items with nonuniform DIF and with negligible magnitude of DIF. Moreover, detecting DDF requires larger sample sizes as compared to the detection of DIF. Finally, sample size of 2,500 provided adequate number of items flagged with DIF (both types, and different magnitudes) and with DDF.

description: In this work, we propose a novel qubit-based sensor with the ability to characterize topological edge states in low-dimensional systems. A composite system is studied, consisting of a qubit coupled to a topologically nontrivial Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain between semi-infinite lead channels. This qubit probe utilizes decoherence dynamics which, under a weak-coupling framework, are related to the environment's local density of states. Qubit decoherence rate measurements along a sample therefore provide the means to extract edge state profiles. The environment's influence on the qubit's subspace is captured by an effective projective treatment, leading to an analytical decoherence rate expression. We demonstrate that the scanning qubit probe identifies and yields a complete spatial characterization of the topological edge states within the composite system.

description: In der Schweiz sind ca. 60'000 Jugendliche von einer Hörbeeinträchtigung betroffen. Den beiden Autor*innen ist es fachlich und persönlich ein Anliegen, sich mit den Bedürfnissen und der Lebenswelt dieser Zielgruppe auseinanderzusetzen. Die Autor*innen wollen herausfinden, ob eine Inklusion der hörbeeinträchtigten Jugendlichen in die bestehenden Angebote der Offenen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit [OKJA] möglich ist und was dabei förderlich oder hinderlich ist. Zu Beginn wurden dazu die beiden Theoriefragen bearbeitet, die sich um die Grundhaltung der OKJA sowie um die Lebenswelt der hörbeeinträchtigten Jugendlichen drehten. Mithilfe von Problemzentrierten Interviews [PZI] und zwei Gruppendiskussionsverfahren wurden Jugendliche und Fachpersonen mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung befragt. Die Forschungsergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass hörbeeinträchtigte Jugendliche ihre Freizeit ähnlich verbringen wie hörende Jugendliche. Durch ihre Lebenswelt haben sie jedoch weitere Bedürfnisse im Hinblick auf die OKJA, beispielsweise bezüglich Infrastruktur. In der Arbeit wurde klar, dass eine Inklusion in die OKJA möglich ist, dass es jedoch Handlungspotenzial in Bezug auf eine fachliche Auseinandersetzung und Sensibilisierung der Fachpersonen gibt. Es wurden verschiedene Chancen und Herausforderungen herausgearbeitet und benannt. Mögliche Herausforderungen sind beispielsweise Hindernisse in der Kommunikation oder mangelndes Verständnis. Chancen können hingegen mehr Sichtbarkeit von hörbeeinträchtigten Jugendlichen und Kohäsion sein. Die ausführliche Handlungsempfehlung für die Praxis am Schluss der Arbeit soll für Betroffene einen Beitrag zur Ermöglichung von Zugängen in die Gesellschaft und zur OKJA leisten.

description: The history of irrigation is significant in the western United States, which has now experienced over 150 years of irrigation development. When considered fully, the history of Western irrigation goes beyond agriculture and extends to engineering, economics, business, sociology, law, politics, ecology, and more. The historical understanding to be gained from any of these viewpoints depends on the preservation and accessibility of original records created by irrigators. In the West, ditch company records are the earliest and best source of irrigation history. This article examines to what extent historical records of Colorado ditch companies have been preserved in and made accessible through public archival repositories. It also contextualizes ditch companies and their records and makes recommendations so such records can be available for a variety of research.

description: The 20th century saw the rise and development of the archival profession. This paper examines what it means to be a profession and how the characteristics of a profession began to manifest themselves in the archival community using the Utah State Archives as a case study. The Utah State Archives reflects many of the national trends towards professionalization as it was initially part of the Utah State Historical Society and eventually became its own entity.

description: Digital platforms and media are fertile breeding grounds for disinformation and conspirational views. They provide a variety of communication venues for a mixed set of actors and foster the diffusion of content between actor groups, across platforms and media, and across languages and geographical spaces. Understanding those diffusion processes requires approaches to measure the prevalence and spread of communicative acts within and across digital platforms. Given the increasing access to digital data, computational methods provide new possibilities to capture this spread and do justice to the interrelated nature and hybridity of online communication. Against this background, the paper focuses on the spread of conspiracy theories in digital information ecologies. It provides a review of recent methodological approaches to measuring conspiracy-related content online regarding the (a) prevalence and (b) diffusion of conspiracy theories. To that end, the paper differentiates between social network analysis approaches and computational techniques of automated text classification. It further discusses how far these and related computational approaches could facilitate studying the diffusion of conspiracy theories across different actor types, languages, topics and platforms. In doing so, it takes the specific nature of online communication and challenges in the field of conspiracy-related content into account.
Polemical Social Representations in Social Media: “Snapchat Dysmorphia”
Creators: name: Bocci, Elena

description: Introduction. On social media, it’s possible to create a personal online identity, even very different from the real one. Scientific literature indicates that in some cases there may be a risk of incurring serious problems, such, for example the Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). BDD regarding the use of filters to edit the body image is called “Snapchat Dysmorphia. Theoretical background. The Social Representations Theory (SRT) -even if it was formulated during the last century- can be used to read and to interpret emerging phenomena like “Snapchat Dysmorphia”. Aims. The purpose of the research is to analyze the communication about “Snapchat Dysmorphia”, identifying which type of post (written post, photo or video) is the most common among the hashtags considered, the words and the emoticons used in the captions on the three main social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter). Hypotheses. During the first step of the research, and behind the choice of the #, there were some expectations: 1. The comparison between the representations of the real body and of the edited body (H1); 2. The rejection of the imperfect body, far away from the beauty standard stereotypes (H2); 3. The promotion of the acceptance of imperfections, following the body positivity movement (H3). Method. Through the use of six hashtags (snapchat dysmorphia, beauty standard, Instagram reality, selfie dysmorphia, filter no filter, unrealistic beauty standard), the contribution analyses posts published in English on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in 2021. The analysis were made with the IRAMUTEQ software and the result was the Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC). Results. The DHC produced six classes: comparison between the own body and the others’ body; comparison between the real body and the edited body; positive value dimension; negative emotional/value dimension; stereotypes of beauty; filter and edited body parts. The results show key elements of the S.R.T.: the emotions, the values, the attitudes and the stereotypes of snapchat dysmorphia. Impacts of the work. Because of the close bond between social representations and practices, the study, in its application value, supports the body positivity actions aimed at reducing the spread of “Snapchat Dysmorphia”.

Hörbeeinträchtigung

description: Kinder und Jugendliche mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung weisen häufig Verzögerungen in der Entwicklung der exekutiven Funktionen auf. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Zusammenhänge der exekutiven Funktionen mit der Sprachentwicklung und sozial-emotionalen Kompetenzen aufgezeigt. Aufgrund dieser Verbindungen lassen sich anhand der Literatur Ziele, Grundsätze, Prinzipien sowie Impulse für den Unterricht aufzeigen. Daraus wurde ein Modell zur Bildungsplanung von exekutiven Funktionen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit einer Hörbeeinträchtigung entwickelt. Dieses stellt die Denkstruktur der Förderung dar, kann aber ebenfalls konkret für die Unterrichtsplanung genutzt werden.

description: Transnational surrogacy—the carrying of a child by a woman in one country on behalf of persons in another—is strongly shaped by documents. Of these, identity documents are particularly crucial as they establish the belonging of a child born through such an arrangement both to its parents (birth certificate) and to a country (passport). However, the acquisition of these documents is subject to national laws that may contradict one another in transnational settings where citizens of more than one country are involved. As a result, in the last few years, there have been several cases of children stuck in legal limbo without clear parenthood and citizenship. Based on ethnographic research in India and Germany, we analyze how in such a transnational setting, documents and documentation become part of the making and unmaking of persons and belonging.

description: In this paper, we have investigated an anisotropic cosmological model in $f(Q)$ gravity with string fluid in LRS Bianchi type-I universe. We have considered the arbitrary function $f(Q)=Q+α\sqrt{~Q}+2Λ$ where $α$ is model free parameter and $Λ$ is the cosmological constant. We have established a relationship between matter energy density parameter $Ω_{m}$ and dark energy density parameter $Ω_Λ$ through Hubble function using using constant equation of state parameter $ω$. We have made observational constraint on the model using $χ^2$-test with observed Hubble datasets $H(z)$ and SNe Ia datasets, and obtained the best fit values of cosmological parameters. We have used these best fit values in the result and discussion. We have discussed our result with cosmographic coefficients and found a transit phase dark energy model. Also, we analyzed the Om diagnostic function for anisotropic universe and found that our model is quintessence dark energy model.

description: The cosmic neutrino background (CvB), produced about one second after the Big Bang, permeates the Universe today. New technological advancements make neutrino capture on beta-decaying nuclei (NCB) a clear path forward towards the detection of the CvB. We show that gravitational focusing by the Sun causes the expected neutrino capture rate to modulate annually. The amplitude and phase of the modulation depend on the phase-space distribution of the local neutrino background, which is perturbed by structure formation. These results also apply to searches for sterile neutrinos at NCB experiments. Gravitational focusing is the only source of modulation for neutrino capture experiments, in contrast to dark-matter direct-detection searches where the Earth's time-dependent velocity relative to the Sun also plays a role.

description: A well-known feature of the classical monoatomic gas is that its bulk viscosity is strongly suppressed because the single-particle dispersion is quadratic. On the other hand, in condensed matter systems the effective single-particle dispersion is altered by lattice effects and interactions. In this work, we study the bulk viscosity of one-dimensional Fermi gases with generic energy-momentum dispersion relations. As an application, viscous dissipation arising from lattice effects is analyzed for the tight-binding model. In addition, we investigate how weak interactions affect the bulk viscosity. Finally, we discuss viscous dissipation in the regime in which the Fermi gas is not fully equilibrated, as can occur when the system is driven at frequencies that exceed the rate of fermion backscattering. In this case, the Fermi gas is described by three bulk viscosities, which we obtain for a generic single-particle dispersion.
