description: Abstract

Globally, governments have prioritized infrastructural policy and infrastructure development as the key to economic development. Efforts to accelerate effective infrastructural delivery in South Africa gave rise to the development of a government-wide tool called the Infrastructural Delivery Management System (IDMS). This was developed as a standardized approach for the planning, budgeting, procurement, operations, maintenance, decision-making and general management of South Africa’s infrastructural development across all tiers of government. The study explores the effectiveness of implementing the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) module of the IDMS in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Focusing on the KZN province, the study utilizes a mixed method research approach. Articles were sourced from databases which included Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Governmental platforms. Peer-reviewed studies in the English language that were published between 2010 to 2024 were identified. Key search terms were infrastructure delivery management system, challenges, operations, maintenance, and efficiency that informed the literature review of the study. The study drew a sample of 133 participants responsible for infrastructural delivery using purposive sampling. Data was analyzed using thematic and content analysis. Findings suggest within the ecosystem of infrastructural development in the KZN province, the necessary IDMS capacity and capabilities do exist. However, the impact of different institutional roles, responsibilities and concurrent functions; in coordinating and implementing the IDMS, has influenced a growing backlog in public infrastructural delivery in KZN. This can be attributed to the failures in coordination resulting in the efficiencies of the O&M module. Through the resurrection of district maintenance workshops and decisive leadership in response to poor operational and maintenance plans, the application of IDMS may prove to be successful in alleviating infrastructure backlogs across all tiers of governance.

description: Cygnus X--1 is the first Galactic source confirmed to host an accreting black hole. It has been detected across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio to GeV $γ$-rays. The source's radio through mid-infrared radiation is thought to originate from the relativistic jets. The observed high degree of linear polarisation in the MeV X-rays suggests that the relativistic jets dominate in this regime as well, whereas a hot accretion flow dominates the soft X-ray band. The origin of the GeV non-thermal emission is still debated, with both leptonic and hadronic scenarios deemed to be viable. In this work, we present results from a new semi-analytical, multi-zone jet model applied to the broad-band spectral energy distribution of Cygnus X--1 for both leptonic and hadronic scenarios. We try to break this degeneracy by fitting the first-ever high-quality, simultaneous multiwavelength data set obtained from the CHOCBOX campaign (Cygnus X--1 Hard state Observations of a Complete Binary Orbit in X-rays). Our model parameterises dynamical properties, such as the jet velocity profile, the magnetic field, and the energy density. Moreover, the model combines these dynamical properties with a self-consistent radiative transfer calculation including secondary cascades, both of leptonic and hadronic origin. We conclude that sensitive TeV $γ$-ray telescopes like Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will definitively answer the question of whether hadronic processes occur inside the relativistic jets of Cygnus X--1.

Mass accretion rates in self-regulated disks of T Tauri stars

description: We have studied numerically the evolution of protostellar disks around intermediate and upper mass T Tauri stars (0.25 M_sun < M_st < 3.0 M_sun) that have formed self-consistently from the collapse of molecular cloud cores. In the T Tauri phase, disks settle into a self-regulated state, with low-amplitude nonaxisymmetric density perturbations persisting for at least several million years. Our main finding is that the global effect of gravitational torques due to these perturbations is to produce disk accretion rates that are of the correct magnitude to explain observed accretion onto T Tauri stars. Our models yield a correlation between accretion rate M_dot and stellar mass M_st that has a best fit M_dot \propto M_st^{1.7}, in good agreement with recent observations. We also predict a near-linear correlation between the disk accretion rate and the disk mass.

description: Communicating anonymously comes at a cost - and large communities have been in a constant tug-of-war between the development of faster protocols, and the improvement of security analyses. Thereby more intricate privacy goals emerged and more detailed bounds on the minimum overhead necessary to achieve them were proven. The entanglement of requirements, scenarios, and protocols complicates analysis, and the published results are hardly comparable, due to deviating, yet specific choices of assumptions and goals (some explicit, most implicit). In this paper, we systematize the field by harmonizing the models, comparing the proven performance bounds, and contextualizing these theoretical results in a broad set of proposed and implemented systems. By identifying inaccuracies, we demonstrate that the attacks, on which the results are based, indeed break much weaker privacy goals than postulated, and tighten the bounds along the way. We further show the equivalence of two seemingly alternative bounds. Finally, we argue how several assumptions and requirements of the papers likely are of limited applicability in reality and suggest relaxations for future work.

description: We study the dynamical and critical behavior of a model for irreversible opinion spreading on Barabási-Albert (BA) scale-free networks by performing extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The opinion spreading within an inhomogeneous society is investigated by means of the magnetic Eden model, a nonequilibrium kinetic model for the growth of binary mixtures in contact with a thermal bath. The deposition dynamics, which is studied as a function of the degree of the occupied sites, shows evidence for the leading role played by hubs in the growth process. Systems of finite size grow either ordered or disordered, depending on the temperature. By means of standard finite-size scaling procedures, the effective order-disorder phase transitions are found to persist in the thermodynamic limit. This critical behavior, however, is absent in related equilibrium spin systems such as the Ising model on BA scale-free networks, which in the thermodynamic limit only displays a ferromagnetic phase. The dependence of these results on the degree exponent is also discussed for the case of uncorrelated scale-free networks.

description: Context. Spatially resolved observations of the ionized and molecular gas are critical for understanding the physical processes that govern the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies. Aims. To study the morpho-kinematic properties of the ionized and molecular gas in three dusty starburst galaxies at $z = 0.12-0.17$ to explore the relation between molecular ISM gas phase dynamics and the star-formation activity. Methods. We analyse $\sim$kpc-scale ALMA CO(1--0) and seeing limited SINFONI Paschen-$α$ observations. We use a dynamical mass model, which accounts for beam-smearing effects, to constrain the CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor. Results. One starburst galaxy shows irregular morphology which may indicate a major merger, while the other two systems show disc-like morpho-kinematics. The two disc-like starbursts show molecular gas velocity dispersion values comparable with that seen in local LIRG/ULIRGs, but in an ISM with molecular gas fraction and surface density values consistent to that reported for local star-forming galaxies. These molecular gas velocity dispersion values can be explained by assuming vertical pressure equilibrium. The star-formation activity is correlated with the molecular gas content suggesting depletion times of the order of $\sim 0.1-1$ Gyr. The star formation rate surface density ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$) correlates with the ISM pressure set by self-gravity ($P_{\rm grav}$) following a power law with an exponent close to 0.8. Conclusions. In dusty disc-like starburst galaxies, our data support the scenario in which the molecular gas velocity dispersion values are driven by the ISM pressure set by self-gravity, responsible to maintain the vertical pressure balance. The correlation between $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ and $P_{\rm grav}$ suggests that, in these dusty starbursts galaxies, the star formation activity arises as a consequence of the ISM pressure balance.

description: In a general Lorentzian manifold M, the past lightcone of a point is a proper subset of M that does not carry enough information to determine the rest of M. That said, if M is a globally hyperbolic Cauchy development of vacuum initial data on a Cauchy surface S and there is a point whose past lightcone contains S, then the contents of such a lightcone determines all of M (up to isometry). We show some results that describe what properties of M guarantee that past lightcones do indeed determine all or at least significant portions of M. Null lines and observer horizons, which are well known features of the de-Sitter spacetime, play a prominent role.

However, some properties of the NV center dynamics and energy levels remain unknown. In this work, we propose a charge conversion pulsed sequence scheme for locating the NV center singlet manifold energy level, by multi-color excitation using a tunable laser. We present two approaches for readout - photo-induced current and NV$^0$ population - and discuss their efficiency for different regimes in the relevant spectrum.

description: Berufliche Weiterbildung stellt als Unteraspekt des Lebensbegleitenden Lernens mittlerweile einen selbstverständlichen Teil von Erwerbsbiografien dar. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen zunehmender Ausdifferenzierung der Berufe einerseits und immer schneller voranschreitenden technischen Innovationen andererseits ist Weiterbildung ein essenzieller Baustein zum Erhalt der beruflichen Handlungsfähigkeit.
 
Das Berufsfeld der professionellen Pflege in Deutschland bildet dahingehend keine Ausnahme. In diesem Bereich sind Fachweiterbildungen eine Variante besonders umfangreicher beruflicher Weiterbildungen, die neben allen persönlichen Vorteilen der Spezialisierung für das Individuum auch langfristig dazu geeignet sind, die pflegerische Versorgungssicherheit in Deutschland zu garantieren.

So vielfältig die Gründe für eine Weiterbildungsteilnahme sind, so facettenreich sind auch die Bildungsbarrieren. Aktuelle Befunde der Weiterbildungsforschung kennzeichnen Chancengleichheit in der Erwachsenenbildung als Utopie.

Der Forschungsstand über Chancengleichheit in der Pflegebildung ist gering. Mit einer quantitativen Befragung von Fachweiterbildungsteilnehmer_innen in Nordrhein-Westfalen wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit ein Teil dieses Dunkelfelds erhellt. Die Studie mit der Zahl von n = 102 Teilnehmer_innen lässt trotz eingeschränkter Repräsentativität Rückschlüsse über die Bildungschancen in der Pflege zu.
 
So kann gezeigt werden, dass sich das Feld der Weiterbildungsteilnehmer_innen sowohl in Bezug auf Altersstruktur als auch auf Teilzeitquote und familiäre Belastung deutlich vom Durchschnitt aller Pflegefachkräfte unterscheidet und eine gerechte Verteilung von Bildungschancen somit auch in diesem Teil des Bildungssystems nicht besteht.
 
Neben der Identifikation verschiedener Bildungsbarrieren können aber auch handlungsweisende Maßnahmen abgeleitet werden, die geeignet erscheinen, um die Situation zu verbessern. Allen voran wären dies eine zumindest landesweite Vereinheitlichung der Rahmenbedingungen pflegerischer Fachweiterbildungen, sowie die Option einer flexibleren und ressourcenorientierteren Gestaltung der Weiterbildung für die Teilnehmenden.

description: We construct a particular flow in the space of 2D Euclidean QFTs on a torus, which we argue is dual to a class of solutions in 3D Euclidean gravity with conformal boundary conditions. This new flow comes from a Legendre transform of the kernel which implements the $T\bar{T}$ deformation, and is motivated by the need for boundary conditions in Euclidean gravity to be elliptic, i.e. that they have well-defined propagators for metric fluctuations. We demonstrate equivalence between our flow equation and variants of the Wheeler de-Witt equation for a torus universe in the so-called Constant Mean Curvature (CMC) slicing. We derive a kernel for the flow, and we compute the corresponding ground state energy in the low-temperature limit. Once deformation parameters are fixed, the existence of the ground state is independent of the initial data, provided the seed theory is a CFT. The high-temperature density of states has Cardy-like behavior, rather than the Hagedorn growth characteristic of $T\bar{T}$-deformed theories.

description: This work presents a method to predict a geometric surface image from a photograph to assist in image recognition. To recognize objects, several images from different conditions are required for training a model or fine-tuning a pre-trained model. In this work, a geometric surface image is introduced as a better representation than its color image counterpart to overcome lighting conditions. The surface image is predicted from a color image. To do so, the geometric surface image together with its color photographs are firstly trained with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) model. The trained generator model is then used to predict the geometric surface image from the input color image. The evaluation on a case study of an amulet recognition shows that the predicted geometric surface images contain less ambiguity than their color images counterpart under different lighting conditions and can be used effectively for assisting in image recognition task.

description: IPERION HS is a consortium of 24 national nodes in 23 countries, including 67 organisations. It contributes to establishing a pan-European research infrastructure on Heritage Science named E- RIHS (www.e-rihs.eu). It offers training and access to a wide range of high-level scientific instruments, methodologies, data and tools for advancing knowledge and innovation in Heritage Science. IPERION HS is the follow-up of previous projects in the field of Heritage Science, such as Labs-Tech, EU-Artech, CHARISMA and IPERION CH. Thanks to the EU support, this long-term tradition builds a consistent community. Effective dissemination of the project achievements and research results will maximise the impact of the IPERION HS project and thereby improve the prerequisites for research and management of cultural heritage. All participants of IPERION HS are strongly committed to disseminate the results and achievements from transnational access projects (TNA in WP2, WP3, WP4) and joint research activities (JRA in WP5). The main route for dissemination is peer-reviewed, open access publication in high impact journals. Particularly effective dissemination will also be achieved through international conferences organised or chaired by partners, e.g. by organising sessions dedicated to the project, but also by organising national events. In addition, several types of events organized by IPERION HS will disseminate project achievements and will be used for outreach to the scientific community, to the cultural heritage sector, potential users and industry. Success stories, project results and best practices will be presented at focused events (WP6), at workshops (WP8), through the user forum (WP7), training camps and summer schools (WP7). Events will be promoted using social media, the user forum and web tools, when practical events will be video streamed or organised as entirely online events. This document provides the initial plan for dissemination actions to be implemented by the consortium members. The document will be periodically revised on the basis of the progress of the project and the evaluation of its impact and effectiveness of dissemination activities.
Design and implementation of a code-phase-shift keying spread spectrum receiver employing a FPGA baseband decoder

description: Code-phase-shift-keying (CPSK) is a novel direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) signaling technique aimed at improving the data throughput of a DS/SS system without the lost of processing gain. To further evaluate its practical performance, a CPSK modem needs to be designed and implemented. This thesis addresses the above objective, concentrating on the digital receiver. The CPSK receiver consists of three major modules, the IF demodulator, the CPSK decoder, and the PC interface. As with other DS/SS systems, carrier phase and PN code phase synchronization are the two most important issues to be addressed in the design of the CPSK receiver. Carrier phase synchronization is solved by employing a Costas loop in the demodulator to lock the carrier phase and limit the phase uncertainty to either 0 or 180 degree. The uncertainty is then completely resolved by using double thresholds in the CPSK decoder. A modified double dwell serial search scheme with a tracking loop is employed in the CPSK decoder to achieve PN code phase synchronization. Furthermore, to add the flexibility in decoding data with different symbol size and PN code length, a re-programmable Xilinx 4010 FPGA chip is employed to build the decoder. To evaluate the performance of the receiver, extensive symbol-error-rate (SER) measurements In the presence of additive white Gaussian noise and jamming from another CPSK transmitter are conducted, and the resulting bit error rate (BER), versus signal to noise ratio curves are compared with those, of an ideal receiver. Results show that there were 0.25 to 0.85 dB BER degradation when the carriers of both the transmitter and receiver are perfectly synchronized, and a further ldB degradation when the Costas loop is employed. Jamming from another transmitter results in substantial degradations in the BER performance in a noisy environment. The scalability of the CPSK decoder is also studied based on the reconfigurability of the XC4000 FPGA family. The possible symbol size / PN code length combinations of the decoder that can be fitted into the FPGA chip are discussed and the modifications needed for each major component of the decoder are outlined. Finally, the maximum throughput possible with the FPGAs is addressed.

description: In this work, we created three mathematical models to describe HIV infection. Our goal was to investigate the effectiveness of cell- to- cell infection via “ virological synapses” through the designed models. The combination of cell- to- cell infection and free- floating virus mechanisms in mathematical models has not been investigated as of yet. We evaluated the two models using three statistical techniques, and decided to use a weighted summation of squares to compare our projected results to published experimental data. The analysis found that the addition of a cell- to- cell infection mechanism did not hinder the predictability of HIV markers for disease progression and showed cell- to- cell infection was most significant early on in infection. In our last model, we further investigated the mechanisms responsible for T cell depletion. Many theories have been published hypothesizing the cause of immune failure. These range from heightened activation of T cells, cytotoxic virions and the eventual destruction due to productive infection. In our model, we observed that the majority of cells die due to the direct result of infection.

description: Piton de la Fournaise volcano, La R{é}union Island, is a basaltic shield volcano which underwent an intense cycle of eruptive activity between 1998 and 2008. Self-potential and other geophysical investigations of the volcano have shown the existence of a well-established hydrothermal system within the summit cone. The present study investigates the relationship between changes in the hydrothermal system and eruptive activity at the summit cone of Piton de la Fournaise. Here, we consider the depth of the hydrothermal activity section to be the area where the hydrothermal flow is the most intense along its path. Ten complete-loop self-potential surveys have been analyzed through multi-scale wavelet tomography (MWT) to characterize depth variations of the hydrothermal system between 1993 and 2008. Our MWT models strongly support the existence of six main hydrothermalflow pathways associated with the main edifice structure. Each of these pathways is part of the main hydrothermal system and is connected to the main hydrothermal reservoir at depth. In both 2006 and 2008, around Dolomieu crater, based on our results, the hydrothermal activity sections are located between 2300 and 2500 m a.s.l., which correlate well with the elevation of the observed fumarole belt within the post-2007-collapse crater wall. Our results show that the depths of the local hydrothermal activity sections change substantially over the investigated period. Vertical displacement of the main potential generation area, associated withthese hydrothermal activity sections, is observed on the order of several hundred meters at the transition between the period of quiescence (1993--1997) and the resumption of eruptive activity in 1998 and 2007, respectively. From 1999 to March 2008, the hydrothermal system was consistently located at relatively shallow depths.By quantitatively determining the vertical displacement of hydrothermal fluids over 16 years, we identify a significant link between hydrothermal system and magmatic activity. Hydrothermal system depth below the surface is an indicator of the activity level (pressurization/depressurization of the volcano) within the shallowmagmatic systems. Thus, when used in conjunction with long term volcano monitoring, this approach can contribute substantially to detection of the precursory signals of changes in volcanic activity.

Sh2-205: I. The surrounding interstellar medium

description: We present a study of the HII region Sh2-205 and its environs, based on data obtained from the CGPS, 12CO observations, and MSX data. We find that Sh2-205 can be separated in three independent optical structures: SH 149.25-0.0, SH 148.83-0.67, and LBN 148.11-0.45. The derived spectral indices show the thermal nature of SH 148.83-0.67 and LBN 148.11-0.45. The morphology of SH 148.83-0.67, both in the optical and radio data, along with the energetic requ irements indicate that this feature is an interstellar bubble powered by the UV photons of HD 24431 (O9 III). LBN 148.11-0.45 has the morphology of a classic al HII region and their ionizing sources remain uncertain. Dust and molecular gas are found related to LBN 148.11-0.45.Particularly, a photodissociation region is detected at the interface between the ionized and molecular regions. If the proposed exciting star HD 24094 were an O8--O9 type star, as suggested by its near-infrared colors, its UV photon flux would be enough to explain the ionization of the nebula. The optical, radio continuum, and 21-cm line data allow us to conclude that SH 148.83-0.67 is an interstellar bubble powered by the energetic action of HD 24431. The associated neutral atomic and ionized masses are 180 Mo and 300 Mo, respectively. The emission of SH 149.25-0.0 is too faint to derive the dust and gas parameters. An HI shell centered at (l,b) = (149.0, 1.5) was also identified. It correlates morphologically with molecular gas emission. The neutral atomic and molecular masses are 1600 Mo and 2.6 x 10^4 Mo, respectively. The open cluster NGC 1444 is the most probable responsible for shaping this HI structure.

description: Adolescent girls face numerous developmental challenges unique to their age and gender.  Three areas of the study of female adolescent development have been particularly neglected: loss of voice, social/relational aggression, and substance abuse.  These three constructs are linked to feelings of depression and disempowerment, and it is possible that they are connected to one another.  In the present study, the associations between these constructs were explored using a sample of adolescent girls participating in a gender responsive therapy program called Perseverance.  Observations and interviews enabled an understanding of social/relational aggression in the group setting.  Self-report measures revealed means of loss of voice, social/relational aggression, substance abuse, and depression.  Social/relational aggression occurred, but only two girls spontaneously mentioned it as being a problem.  Certain girls were regularly the perpetrators while others were regularly the victims of social/relational aggression.  It was not always malicious and could function as playful or helpful, but it was not always perceived as playful or helpful.  There were three main types, exclusion, gossip, and nonverbal, and it was associated with threats of physical violence one time.  It seems that girls in this group who regularly rely on it are not engaging in positive ways to disagree with other girls.  Additionally, the girls sometimes made positive connections to each other while, at other times, the connections were negative.  Implications for gender responsive programs are explored.

description: Micro-teaching as a pedagogical approach is practiced in many higher education programmes focused on building knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes that can be applied in a professional setting. The previous literature attests to the usefulness of micro-teaching experiences in supporting the development of the beginning professional. This paper describes the design and implementation of a micro-teaching programme in one teacher preparation programme with a dual focus on core practices and Approximation of Practice (AoP). AoPs, in this instance, are defined as opportunities to engage in core practices that are proximal to the practices of a particular profession. The paper begins by exploring practice-based education, focusing on core practices and approximations of practice. Micro-teaching as a pedagogical approach is briefly introduced before describing the design and implementation of a specific enactment of pedagogy, a micro-teaching programme using core practices and AoPs. Opportunities and challenges of designing and implementing the micro-teaching programme are discussed and problematised. Finally, some practice considerations are offered to the broader higher education audience regarding the use of AoPs in higher education in the preparation of beginning professionals.
