description: Taking N-body simulations with volumes and particle densities tuned to match the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic main sample, we assess the ability of current void catalogs (e.g., Sutter et al. 2012b) to distinguish a model of coupled dark matter-dark energy from ΛCDM cosmology using properties of cosmic voids. Identifying voids with the VIDE toolkit, we find no statistically significant differences in the ellipticities, but find that coupling produces a population of significantly larger voids, possibly explaining the recent result of Tavasoli et al. (2013). In addition, we use the universal density profile of Hamaus et al. (2014) to quantify the relationship between coupling and density profile shape, finding that the coupling produces broader, shallower, undercompensated profiles for large voids by thinning the walls between adjacent medium-scale voids. We find that these differences are potentially measurable with existing void catalogs once effects from survey geometries and peculiar velocities are taken into account.

description: We study bilayer fermionic cold atom systems with dipolar interactions, as well as a two-component tunable pseudopotential (TCTP) model which keeps only the zeroth and first Haldane pseudopotentials, at total Landau level filling factor 1/2. Our numerical results on the TCTP model indicates that Haldane-Rezayi state describes the critical point between strong and weak d-wave pairing quantum Hall phases. Further increasing the attractive zeroth pseudopotentials, the system transits from the strong-pairing phase to a stripe phase, and then to a cluster phase (or phase separation). The dipolar interaction can be mapped onto the TCTP model in the strong-pairing phase, if high order pseudopotentials are ignored. Our numerical results show that this is indeed the case, so the strong-pairing phase can be realized in the cold atom system.

description: Intrinsic, personal, or autonomous motivations are important in facilitating behavioral change. However, definitions of different motivations remain unclear, particularly when distinguishing between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to quit smoking. This study describes the differences and interactions between motivations to both quit and smoke, aiming to facilitate better understanding and practice of increasing intrinsic motivation to quit smoking and other dependent behaviors. Qualitative analysis of adult smokers’ statements during the first session of smoking cessation group behavioral counseling. 719 participants (56 groups) were included. Statements were analyzed using general thematic analysis. Two themes were identified: motives to quit and motives to continue smoking. Each theme was divided into intrinsic (smokers’ own choice) and extrinsic (smokers’ perceived coercion) motives. Any reason to quit or to smoke could be perceived as either intrinsic or extrinsic, depending on the intrinsic motivation to smoke. Extrinsically motivated quitters were left with a strong will to smoke which was not diminished by their will to quit. Intrinsic motivation to smoke may change to extrinsic and increase intrinsic motivation to quit smoking. Identifying motivations to continue smoking may help to distinguish between intrinsic/extrinsic motivations to quit smoking and increase intrinsic motivation to quit.

description: his literature review explores the critical role of higher academic institutions in substance use prevention among college and university students. Despite the high prevalence of substance use in these settings, the effectiveness of prevention strategies varies widely. This review follows a structured approach, examining the prevalence and patterns of substance use, the current prevention strategies adopted by higher academic institutions, their effectiveness, the role of policy, potential improvements, innovative approaches, and the broader implications of successful prevention. The review highlights the complexity of substance use patterns, the influence of the policy environment, and the potential of innovative approaches like technology and novel protective techniques. It also identifies region-specific gaps and challenges, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, related to policy environments and prevention programming. The review concludes by emphasizing the far-reaching implications of successful prevention on student health, academic performance, and the overall college experience. Further research is needed to investigate effective combinations of prevention strategies and how these can be tailored to different student populations across diverse settings globally. The review provides valuable insights for higher academic institutions in all regions aiming to enhance their substance use prevention efforts, ultimately contributing to healthier and more fulfilling college experiences for students worldwide.

description: This deliverable reports on the two storage technologies from two vendors, DDN and Seagate, which were
 designed to work with the Earth System Data Middleware (ESDM) - details of which were reported in
 Deliverable D4.1 “Advanced software stack for Earth system data”[ESiWACE2 D4.1]. The expectation was
 that various storage appliances would have support for ESDM and could be deployed with ESDM at the
 weather and climate sites as ESDM would become available.
 Seagate demonstrated the CORTX Motr (formerly Mero) software installation being capable of working
 with commodity hardware, with the ability to be installed at the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ)
 and other centres in the future as per their requirements. This is a change in strategy from Seagate for
 CORTX Motr. At the beginning of the project, the plan was to have an appliance based on Mero – as Mero
 was closed source software. However, during the time frame of ESiWACE2, Mero was open sourced as
 CORTX Motr – making it feasible to be deployed very widely on commodity hardware. Showcasing CORTX
 Motr’s capability to work on commodity hardware working with ESDM, we believe is a powerful message
 for the community rather than providing just a “closed” appliance. This deliverable hence takes that
 approach.
 DDN demonstrated the relevance and the efficiency of the Earth Systems Data Middleware (ESDM)
 developed during the ESiWACE project on state-of-the-art industrial storage technologies. DDN
 implemented a sophisticated integration of ESDM with the flash native, burst buffer solution product of
 DDN’s portfolio, Infinite Memory Engine (IME). As part of the integration ESDM now supports the IME
 native interface that bypasses the FUSE, allowing to obtain the maximum performance of IME. The code of
 the integration is available and accessible to everyone through GitHub. Using IME, DDN was able to
 produce performance results significantly beyond the state of the art in term of hardware / software
 cooperation. Furthermore, ESDM provides performance in the range of the low-level API while still offering
 a higher level of semantic to the end-user. The results were obtained within one of DDN’s labs using 5 IME
 appliances and 10 clients. With an aggregated peak I/O bandwidth of 100 GB/sec, this setting is
 representative of the core of the HPC / technical computing market. In addition to the lab set-up and the
 integration effort, DDN has led more theoretical and research-oriented work. In respect to the Active
 Storage task, DDN provided a complete design architecture and implemented a proof of concept (PoC). The
 prototype is expected to be ready within the Q1 of 2023. The PoC code of the active storage is available on
 GitHub.

description: We investigate the connection between singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira theory and the double commutation method for one-dimensional Dirac operators. In particular, we compute the singular Weyl function of the commuted operator in terms of the data from the original operator. These results are then applied to radial Dirac operators in order to show that the singular Weyl function of such an operator belongs to a generalized Nevanlinna class $N_{κ_0}$ with $κ_0=\lfloor|κ| + \frac{1}{2}\rfloor$, where $κ\in \mathbb{R}$ is the corresponding angular momentum.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit behandelt die Poetologie des Wissens bei Donna Haraway. Das Ziel war es, nachzuweisen, dass Haraway das Verfahren der Poetologie des Wissens, wie Joseph Vogl es beschreibt, in ihren Texten angewendet hat. Um dies zu erreichen, ist die Poetologie des Wissens untersucht und im Zuge der Analyse von vier Texten Haraways angewendet worden. Dabei wurde ihre Methodik auf Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede im Vergleich zu der der Poetologie des Wissens hin herausgearbeitet. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Aspekte der Poetologie des Wissens, wie Joseph Vogl sie beschreibt, in zuvor von Donna Haraway ver-fassten Texten erkennbar sind, Haraway aber noch darüber hinausgeht. Vogls poiesis als Her-vorbringen des Wissens, das seine eigene Darstellungsweise diktiert, die durch das Narrativ, in dem es entsteht, bedingt ist, entspricht Haraways sympoiesis, der zusätzlich das Primat der Beziehung inhärent ist. Ihr situiertes Wissen ist nicht nur eine diskursive Praxis, sondern ein gemeinschaftlicher Akt aktiver Akteur:innen, die dabei aufeinander antworten.
description: This thesis deals with the poetology of knowledge in the work of Donna Haraway. The goal was to investigate the relation between Donna Haraway’s poetics in her writing about science and Joseph Vogls poetology of knowledge. To achieve this, four texts by Haraway are exam-ined through the methodological optic of the poetology of knowledge. Haraway's own meth-odological reflections on poetics are also considered and compared to the methodology of the poetology of knowledge. This thesis shows that Haraway's work resonates in many respects with the poetology of knowledge, as described by Vogl, but also departs from it in ways that are revealing for understanding the relation between poetics and knowledge. In Vogl, poiesis refers to the production of knowledge that is dictated through the mode of its representation and conditioned by the narrative frame in which it arises. This concept corresponds substan-tially with what Haraway calls sympoiesis. Compared to poiesis, sympoiesis is, however, rich-er because it foregrounds the primacy of relationality and participation. Haraway's theory of situated knowledges is not just a discursive practice but a collective act of actors who respond to each other.

description: We present the KMOS^3D survey, a new integral field survey of over 600 galaxies at 0.71$, implying that the star-forming 'main sequence' (MS) is primarily composed of rotating galaxies at both redshift regimes. When considering additional stricter criteria, the Halpha kinematic maps indicate at least ~70% of the resolved galaxies are disk-like systems. Our high-quality KMOS data confirm the elevated velocity dispersions reported in previous IFS studies at z>0.7. For rotation-dominated disks, the average intrinsic velocity dispersion decreases by a factor of two from 50 km/s at z~2.3 to 25 km/s at z~0.9 while the rotational velocities at the two redshifts are comparable. Combined with existing results spanning z~0-3, disk velocity dispersions follow an approximate (1+z) evolution that is consistent with the dependence of velocity dispersion on gas fractions predicted by marginally-stable disk theory.

description: Although research has identified adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as detrimental to individuals’ physical and psychological health, research examining mechanisms of action has been lacking. As a result, the current study examined the role that psychological symptoms serve in the relationship between ACEs and substance use. A sample of 82 men and 101 women completed relevant measures. Correlational analyses indicated significant associations, especially for men. ACEs were a significant predictor of substance use behaviors in both men and women. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and substance use behaviors in men only. Results demonstrated the importance of promoting psychological symptoms screening and care, particularly in those with ACEs and substance use.

description: We provide a twofold extension of Landau--Pollak uncertainty relations for mixed quantum states and for positive operator-valued measures, by recourse to geometric considerations. The generalization is based on metrics between pure states, having the form of a function of the square of the inner product between the states. The triangle inequality satisfied by such metrics plays a crucial role in our derivation. The usual Landau--Pollak inequality is thus a particular case (derived from Wootters metric) of the family of inequalities obtained, and, moreover, we show that it is the most restrictive relation within the family.

description: Diese wissenschaftliche Arbeit widmet sich der sprachlichen Integration von Migranten aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien in Österreich und konzentriert sich insbesondere auf die Wege und Strategien des Erwerbs der deutschen Sprache. Der theoretische Teil definiert zunächst die Begriffe Integration, Migration und Sprache. Darüber hinaus wird ein Einblick in den rechtlichen Rahmen der Integration und das damit verbundene Integrationsgesetz gegeben. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit, nämlich dem empirischen, werden Interviews mit MigrantInnen verwendet, um die sprachliche Entwicklung und Integration zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden sieben Befragte ausgewählt. Fünf von ihnen sind kürzlich aus ehemaligen jugoslawischen Ländern nach Österreich gezogen und haben seit ihrer Ankunft begonnen, die deutsche Sprache zu lernen. Einer von ihnen ist in Österreich geboren und aufgewachsen und ein Interviewpartner hat seit seinem achten Lebensjahr Deutsch gelernt. Das Interview wurde nach vordefinierten Interviewrichtlinien geführt. Die behandelten Themen waren die Gründe für die Migration, das Integrationsverständnis der Befragten, der Weg zum Erlernen der deutschen Sprache sowie die subjektive Bewertung der Erfahrungen in der Öffentlichkeit.
description: This academic paper is dedicated to the linguistic integration of migrants from the former Yugoslavia in Austria, especially focusing on the ways and strategies of the acquisition process of the German language . The theoretical part first defines the terms integration, migration and language. Furthermore, an insight into the legal framework of integration and the associated integration law is given. In the second part of the thesis, namely the empirical one, interviews with migrants are used to examine linguistic development and integration. For this purpose, seven interviewees were selected. Five of them have all recently moved from former Yugoslavian countries and started learning the German language since their arrival. One of them was born and raised in Austria and one interview partner learned German since his was eight. The interview was conducted using a predefined interview guidelines. The topics discussed were the reasons for migration, the interviewees' understanding of integration, the path taken to learn the German language as well as the subjective assessments of the experiences in public.
Is aviation finance part of the asset class infrastructure?

Subjects: 332.6: Investition

description: The continuously increasing demand for air travel increases funding needs for aircraft. Institutional investors, being exposed to a sustained low yield environment, increasingly pay attention to these needs. Institutional investors’ increasing demand for aviation finance requires classification of the asset class. Classification of an asset is practically relevant as it serves investors in making capital allocation decisions, improving portfolio efficiency and monitoring assets accordingly. Aviation finance shows similar characteristics, physically and economically, to infrastructure. This suggests classifying aviation finance as part of the asset class infrastructure. Infrastructure is a heterogeneous asset, which requires a detailed analysis of its subcategories and investment types. This thesis analyzes aviation finance and infrastructure with its subcategories and investment types. It assesses whether aviation finance is part of the asset class infrastructure and if it is part of any subcategory and investment type of infrastructure. Economic infrastructure consists of the subcategories transport, energy and utilities, and communications. Investment types of interest within these subcategories are airports and toll roads and renewable energy. A theoretical review of the characteristics of aviation finance and infrastructure provide the building blocks to answer the research question. A quantitative part consisting of risk-return, correlation and regression analyses supports the analysis empirically. The equity of aircraft leasing companies and the S&P 500 Airlines Index represent the aviation finance data set. Infrastructure equity indices represent the infrastructure data set. Monthly correlations of returns between aviation finance and infrastructure for the time frame December 2006 to December 2017 are calculated based on historical prices and index levels.

description: Landau's Fermi-liquid theory is the standard model for metals, characterized by the existence of electron quasiparticles near a Fermi surface as long as Landau's interaction parameters lie below critical values for instabilities. Recently, this fundamental paradigm has been challenged by physics of strong spin-orbit coupling although the concept of electron quasiparticles remains valid near the Fermi surface, where the Landau's Fermi-liquid theory fails to describe electromagnetic properties of this novel metallic state, referred to as Weyl metal. A novel ingredient is that such a Fermi surface encloses a Weyl point with definite chirality, referred to as a chiral Fermi surface, which can arise from breaking of either time reversal or inversion symmetry in systems with strong spin-orbit coupling, responsible for both Berry curvature and chiral anomaly. As a result, electromagnetic properties of the Weyl metallic state are described not by conventional Maxwell equations but by axion electrodynamics, where Maxwell equations are modified with a topological-in-origin spatially modulated $θ(\bm{r}) \bm{E} \cdot \bm{B}$ term. This novel metallic state has been realized recently in Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$ around $x \sim 3%$ under magnetic fields, where the Dirac spectrum appears around the critical point between the normal semiconducting ($x < 3%$) and topological semiconducting phases ($x > 3%$) and the time reversal symmetry breaking perturbation causes the Dirac point to split into a pair of Weyl points along the direction of the applied magnetic field for such a strong spin-orbit coupled system. In this review article, we discuss how the topological structure of both the Berry curvature and chiral anomaly (axion electrodynamics) gives rise to anomalous transport phenomena in Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$ around $x \sim 3%$ under magnetic fields, modifying the Drude model of Landau's Fermi liquids.

description: Objective: To identify perceived barriers and enablers for rural women in accessing perinatal care within their own community from the perspective of perinatal health care providers. Design: A qualitative descriptive study design utilising reflexive thematic analysis, using the socioecological framework to organise and articulate findings. Setting: Victoria, Australia. Participants: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine perinatal health care providers who provide care to pregnant women or new mothers in rural communities. Participants were recruited across Victoria in 2023. Results: Providers reported multi-level barriers and enablers that exist for rural women in accessing perinatal care within their communities. Barriers included women's personal circumstances, challenging professional relationships, inequitable service provision, ineffective collaboration between services and clinicians and government funding models and policies. Enablers included strength and resilience of rural women, social capital within rural communities, flexible care delivery and innovative practice, rural culture and continuity of care models. Conclusion: Rural perinatal health care providers perceived that rural women face multiple barriers that are created or sustained by complex interpersonal, organisational, community and policy factors that are intrinsic to rural health care delivery. Several addressable factors were identified that create unnecessary barriers for rural women in engaging with perinatal care. These included education regarding health systems, rights and expectations, equitable distribution of perinatal services, improved interprofessional relationships and collaborative approaches to care and equity-based funding models for perinatal services regardless of geographical location.

description: Ziel der Diplomarbeit ist eine lexikologisch-lexikografische Analyse des Österreichischen Wörterbuchs (ÖWB). Dabei wird die 43., aktualisierte Auflage (Buchhandelsausgabe) hinsichtlich Form und Aufbau, Wortbestand und Inhalt, lexikografischer Darstellungsweise, Umgang mit und Darstellung von Österreichischem Deutsch und Plurizentrik, sowie hinsichtlich seiner Einordnung in die lexikografische Forschungslandschaft untersucht. Die theoretische Einbettung der Forschungsarbeit gibt einen Überblick über Österreichisches Deutsch, Standardisierung und Sprachnormierung, Typologie von Wörterbüchern sowie lexikografische Grundlagen. Als Methode für die Datenerhebung kommt eine Korpusanalyse zum Einsatz, die sowohl manuell als auch automationsgestützt mithilfe eines XML-Editors (Oxygen XML Author) durchgeführt wird. Folgenden Forschungsfragen wird dabei nachgegangen: 1. Wie werden sprachliche Informationen im ÖWB dargestellt, genauer: Wie werden Inhalte organisiert, welche sprachlichen Ebenen werden wie repräsentiert, und welche Markierungen werden verwendet? 2. Wie ordnet sich das ÖWB in den modernen lexikografischen Diskurs ein? Die Analyse geht bezüglich der Organisation und Darstellung von sprachlichen Informationen und Ebenen detailliert auf die Mikro- und Makrostrukturen des ÖWB ein. Einschränkungen zeigen sich bezüglich der Benutzungsfreundlichkeit und durch Inkonsistenzen bei der Darstellung lexikalischer, semantischer und grammatischer Information. Die anfängliche Hypothese, dass sprachliche Information nicht ausreichend repräsentiert wird, konnte teilweise bestätigt werden. Pragmatische Markierungen im ÖWB erweisen sich als äußerst differenziert, wobei eine große Diskrepanz zwischen den in den Benutzungshinweisen angegebenen Markierungen und jenen, die tatsächlich im Datenbestand vorkommen, nachgewiesen werden konnte. Das ÖWB ordnet sich in Aufbau, Darstellung und Inhalten in gängige lexikografische Forschungsempfehlungen ein.

description: We present measurements of coherence and successive decay dynamics of higher energy levels of a superconducting transmon qubit. By applying consecutive $π$-pulses for each sequential transition frequency, we excite the qubit from the ground state up to its fourth excited level and characterize the decay and coherence of each state. We find the decay to proceed mainly sequentially, with relaxation times in excess of 20 $μ$s for all transitions. We also provide a direct measurement of the charge dispersion of these levels by analyzing beating patterns in Ramsey fringes. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using higher levels in transmon qubits for encoding quantum information.

description: A 3 nm coronene coating and a 4 nm amorphous carbon coating with uniform shell-core encapsulation structure for nanosized boron (B) powders are formed by a simple process, where coronene is directly mixing with boron particles without a solvent, and heated at 520 °C for 1 h or at 630 °C for 3 h in a vacuum-sealed silica tube. Coronene has a melting point lower than its decomposition temperature, which enables liquid coronene to cover B particles by liquid diffusion and penetration without the need for a solvent. The diffusion and penetration of coronene can extend to the boundaries of particles and inside agglomerated nanoparticles to form a complete shell-core encapsulated structure. As the temperature is increased, thermal decomposition of coronene on the B particles results in the formation of a uniform amorphous carbon coating layer. This novel and simple nanometer-level uniform amorphous carbon coating method is possibly applied to many other powders, thus it has potential applications in many fields with low cost.

title: Antijudaismen im Theologischen Wörterbuch zum neuen Testament (ThWNT)
Creators: name: Wolf, Sarah
Year: 2021

description: Das „Theologische Wörterbuch zum Neue Testament“ (ThWNT) gilt bis heute als ein Grundlagenwerk der evangelischen Theologie. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den geschichtlichen Hintergrund des ThWNT und dessen Herausgebers, Gerhard Kittel, einem bis heute geschätzten evangelischen Theologen. Hierbei wird zunächst auf die Entstehung des Wörterbuches und den geschichtlichen Kontext in den Jahren 1933–1942 eingegangen, in welchen die ersten vier von insgesamt neun Bänden (11 Büchern) entstanden sind. Gerhard Kittel war Mitglied der NSDAP. Er trat dieser bereits im Jahr 1933 bei und ist eine bis heute in der Geschichtswissenschaft oft tabuisierte Persönlichkeit. Aufgrund der Entstehungsgeschichte entstand die Hypothese, dass sich Antijudaismen im Wörterbuch finden, weshalb die wenigen Artikel, welche es zu dieser Thematik gibt, behandelt werden. Die Analyse einzelner Textstellen und deren Neubewertung findet auf Grundlage des Artikels: „Antijudaismus / Antisemitismus im theologischen Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament“ von Johann Sijko Vos aus dem Jahr 1984 statt. Das „Theologische Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament“ bietet eine große Datenmenge für weitere Forschung. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen auf, dass das Wörterbuch neu zu beurteilen ist. Sie geben Anlass, ein neues Gesamtwerk in Angriff zu nehmen.

description: It is generally difficult to study the dynamical properties of a quantum system with both inherent quantum noises and non-perturbative nonlinearity. Due to the possibly drastic intensity increase of an input coherent light in the gain-loss waveguide couplers with parity-time (PT) symmetry, the Kerr effect from a nonlinearity added into the systems can be greatly enhanced, and is expected to create the macroscopic entangled states of the output light fields with huge photon numbers. Meanwhile, the quantum noises also coexist with the amplification and dissipation of the light fields. Under the interplay between the quantum noises and nonlinearity, the quantum dynamical behaviors of the systems become rather complicated. However, the important quantum noise effects have been mostly neglected in the previous studies about nonlinear PT-symmetric systems. Here we present a solution to this non-perturbative quantum nonlinear problem, showing the real-time evolution of the system observables. The enhanced Kerr nonlinearity is found to give rise to a previously unknown decoherence effect that is irrelevant to the quantum noises, and imposes a limit on the emergence of macroscopic nonclassicality. In contrast to what happen in the linear systems, the quantum noises exert significant impact on the system dynamics, and can create the nonclassical light field states in conjunction with the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity. This first study on the noise involved quantum nonlinear dynamics of the coupled gain-loss waveguides can help to better understand the quantum noise effects in the broad nonlinear systems.

description: We present quantum observable Markov decision processes (QOMDPs), the quantum analogues of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). In a QOMDP, an agent's state is represented as a quantum state and the agent can choose a superoperator to apply. This is similar to the POMDP belief state, which is a probability distribution over world states and evolves via a stochastic matrix. We show that the existence of a policy of at least a certain value has the same complexity for QOMDPs and POMDPs in the polynomial and infinite horizon cases. However, we also prove that the existence of a policy that can reach a goal state is decidable for goal POMDPs and undecidable for goal QOMDPs.

description: Massive early-type galaxies represent the modern-day remnants of the earliest major star formation episodes in the history of the universe. These galaxies are central to our understanding of the evolution of cosmic structure, stellar populations, and supermassive black holes, but the details of their complex formation histories remain uncertain. To address this situation, we have initiated the MASSIVE Survey, a volume-limited, multi-wavelength, integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) and photometric survey of the structure and dynamics of the ~100 most massive early-type galaxies within a distance of 108 Mpc. This survey probes a stellar mass range M* > 10^{11.5} Msun and diverse galaxy environments that have not been systematically studied to date. Our wide-field IFS data cover about two effective radii of individual galaxies, and for a subset of them, we are acquiring additional IFS observations on sub-arcsecond scales with adaptive optics. We are also acquiring deep K-band imaging to trace the extended halos of the galaxies and measure accurate total magnitudes. Dynamical orbit modeling of the combined data will allow us to simultaneously determine the stellar, black hole, and dark matter halo masses. The primary goals of the project are to constrain the black hole scaling relations at high masses, investigate systematically the stellar initial mass function and dark matter distribution in massive galaxies, and probe the late-time assembly of ellipticals through stellar population and kinematical gradients. In this paper, we describe the MASSIVE sample selection, discuss the distinct demographics and structural and environmental properties of the selected galaxies, and provide an overview of our basic observational program, science goals and early survey results.

title: Der Einfluss von emotionsregulierendem und sozialem Musikhören auf das chronisch subjektive Stresserleben
Creators: name: Ho, Manh Nhan Stephan

description: Musikpsychologische Untersuchungen zu potentiellen stressreduzierenden Effekten des Musikhörens lassen sich in der heutigen Forschungsliteratur bereits zahlreich finden. Verschiedene Motive des Musikhörens spielen in einer komplexen Interaktion emotionaler, sozialer und kultureller Faktoren zusammen und haben unterschiedliche Implikationen für die Wirkweisen der Musik. Ein Konsens in der Musikforschung scheint zu sein, dass Musiknutzung zur Emotionsregulation oder das Musikhören mit Freund*innen mit gesundheitsfördernden Effekten verbunden wird. Der Tatsache verschuldet, dass der Großteil dieser Studien in „westlichen“ Ländern stattfand, bleibt eine übergreifende Generalisierbarkeit bisher angestellter Forschungsbemühen jedoch erschwert. Für diese Untersuchung wurden deshalb die Daten von Personen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturmodellen erhoben und analysiert. 312 japanische (kollektivistische Kultur) und 414 deutsche (individualistische Kultur) Teilnehmer*innen wurden hierfür über eine Online- Umfrage zu den Themen Musik, Stress und Kultur befragt. Überraschenderweise ging die Häufigkeit des Musikhörens zur Emotionsregulation kulturübergreifend mit einem erhöhten selbstberichteten (chronischen) Stresserlebens einher. Dabei konnte allerdings nachgewiesen werden, dass die Kulturzugehörigkeit tatsächlich eine signifikante Moderatorwirkung für ebengenannten Zusammenhang hat. Die moderierende Rolle durch die Kultur konnte allerdings nicht für den Zusammenhang zwischen der Häufigkeit des Musikhörens mit Freund*innen und dem selbstberichteten (chronischen) Stresserleben nachgewiesen werden. Trotz teils widersprüchlich wirkender Ergebnisse wurde gezeigt, dass Kulturzugehörigkeit durchaus eine relevante Schlüsselrolle im Zusammenhang von Musiknutzung und Stresserleben spielen kann. Durch die Einbettung und Diskussion vorliegender Befunde im Kontext des aktuellen Forschungsstandes in der kulturvergleichenden Psychologie soll weiter die Dringlichkeit zukünftiger interkultureller Studien unterstrichen werden.

description: Direct searches for lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decays in the $τμ$ channel have been recently reported by the CMS collaboration. The results display a slight excess of signal events with a significance of 2.5$σ$, which translates into a branching ratio of about $1$%. By interpreting these findings as a hint for beyond the standard model physics, we show that the Type-III 2HDM is capable of reproducing such signal while at the same time satisfying vacuum stability, perturbativity, electroweak precision data, measured Higgs standard decay modes and low-energy lepton flavor violating constraints. We have found that the allowed signal strength ranges for the $b\bar b$, $WW^*$ and $ZZ^*$ standard channels shrink as soon as BR$(h\toτμ)\sim 1$% is enforced. Thus, we point out that if the excess persists, improved measurements of these channels may be used to test our Type-III 2HDM scenario.

description: The Family Medicine (FM) Residency Program requires competencies in comprehensive sexual health care for diverse people's well-being but lacks concrete teaching methods. This study addresses the important need to improve sexual health counseling skills in FM residents, considering the impact of cultural sensitivity and the burden of sexual health problems in Thailand. The research integrates comprehensive sexual education, holistic care principles, and active learning into a 3-session (total 6 hours) course.



The course design utilized a multifaceted educational approach, including sexual dysfunction case-based learning (1.5 hours), cinemeducation from the Thai Sexual Education TV shows focusing on sexuality issues, including SOGIESC (1.5 hours), team-based role-play with standardized patients using the PLISSIT sexual counseling model (1.5 hours), flipped classroom for STI prevention and sexual enrichment (1.5 hours), and self-reflection. Outcomes evaluation includes pre and post (at the 3rd month) learning Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), self-confidence assessment by a 5-point Likert rating scale, and focus groups after the course to assess outcomes, including psychomotor, cognitive, and attitude domains, with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and expertise from sexual medicine and medical education specialist consultations.



This study included 18 residents in Health area 4, with an average age of 27.3 years, mainly in relationships, female, in the second program year, and without prior sexual health course experience. Findings show statistically significant improvements in sexual health counseling skills, with OSCE mean (SD) increasing from 49.5 (6.5) to 60.7 (4.7) out of 100 (p < 0.001), using the paired t-test, with a power of the test > 90%. Improvements were notable in skills of permission-giving, general sexual counseling, and partner engagement, but there was no significant improvement in the history-taking skill. Simultaneously, participants reported an increase in confidence levels, from level 1 to 3 (p < 0.001).



The focus group highlights positive experiences with active learning, indicating increased comfort in addressing sexual health concerns. Interestingly, four residents chose to present creative activities focusing on specific sexual health issues following the course.



This comprehensive sexual health course effectively enhances counseling skills and self-confidence among FM residents in Thailand, emphasizing the role of interactive educational methods in optimizing sexual health education within medical training programs.



The 6-hour Comprehensive Sexual Education Active Learning course effectively enhances FM residents' counseling skills.

description: Im Fokus der vorliegenden Masterarbeit stand das Thema des sozialen Aufstiegs bei türkischen MigrantInnen im Verlauf von drei Generationen. Mithilfe einer Fallstudie wurden hierbei die letzten 50 Jahre, beginnend mit der Gastarbeiter-Bewegung, näher betrachtet. Vor allem die Veränderungen, welche migrationsbedingt stattgefunden haben, und ihre Auswirkungen auf die innerfamiliären und intergenerationalen Beziehungen waren von besonderem Interesse. Mit narrativen und Leitfadeninterviews wurde versucht sowohl die individuellen als auch die intergenerationalen Verläufe darzustellen. Die qualitative Inhaltsanalyse wurde hierbei als Auswertungsmethode herangezogen, mit welcher auch das breite Interviewmaterial überarbeitet wurde. Die relevantesten Interviewstellen wurden folglich detailliert dargestellt, woraufhin eine Diskussion dieser, im Hinblick auf die Theorie, stattfand.
