description: We investigate the possibility to test the simplest theory for spontaneous baryon number violation at the Large Hadron Collider. In this context the baryon number is a local gauge symmetry spontaneously broken at the low scale through the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. This theory predicts the existence of a leptophobic neutral gauge boson and a fermionic dark matter candidate with baryon number. We study the gauge boson and Higgs decays, and explore the connection between collider signatures and constraints coming from dark matter experiments. We point out an upper bound on the symmetry breaking scale using the relic density constraints which tells us that this model can be tested or ruled out at current or future collider experiments.

Cultural historical e-paths in Paleo Kostarazi Greece. The digitalization of oral history testimonies.
Creators: name: Kalogirou, Evangelia

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The scope of the present paper is to present a digital enhanced framework for the educational and tourist utilization of oral testimonies. Focusing on the local history of the village Paleo Kostarazi Kastoria in Greece, during the period of the German occupation, we aim to develop an e-path connecting past and present. In particular, we present the design of a digital map serving as a tool for the narration of the incidents of April 13th 1944 when the German occupation authorities burned down the village in retaliation. Audio material from relevant oral history research is interlinked with photographic material focused on places of interest and enhanced by historical archives in the form of useful bibliography. The e-path created follows the thematic axes emerging from the data analysis of the research. 
The following themes occured from the thematic analysis by comparing the information and facts that each informant shared in the interview: Before the traumatic event, People's reactions in those critical days, The causes of the village's burning down, After the village's burning down, Events from the stay of the Germans in the village, What do people think about that event today. Within the educational context, oral history methodological approaches allow students to develop historical thinking strategies and engage them dynamically working with vivid memories. Moreover, they realize that they must approach oral testimonies with a critical and inquiring eye. The educational implementation of the particular digital tool is expected to offer benefits such as intergenerational communication and cohesion as different generations are involved and share their experiences, and strengthen community bonds as students gain experiences that help them understand what it is like to be someone else. Moreover, the proposed educational tasks aim to enhance historical thinking strategies and enable students to provide answers of content knowledge, such as "when", "who", "where" but also to proceed with careful justifications addressing "why". Thus, interpret and provide explanations on the recurring themes. In the context of creating cultural tourist routes, the digitalization of the oral testimonies in a coherent way is expected to provide quality information with added value signifying Paleo Kostarazi as a place of interest for visitors of the area and researchers interested in the period of the German occupation in Greece. Taking into consideration that nowadays Paleo Kostarazi is an uninhabited area, the digital map design serves both as a means to preserve and promote cultural identity and contributes to the enrichment of travel experience.

description: The LHC data on jet fragmentation function and jet shapes in PbPb collisions at center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair are analyzed and interpreted in the frameworks of PYQUEN jet quenching model. A specific modification of longitudinal and radial jet profiles in most central PbPb collisions as compared with pp data is close to that obtained with PYQUEN simulations taking into account wide-angle radiative and collisional partonic energy loss. The contribution of radiative and collisional loss to the medium-modified intra-jet structure is estimated.

description: As we showed in previous work, the dynamics and gravitational emission of binary neutron star systems in certain scalar-tensor theories can differ significantly from that expected from General Relativity in the coalescing stage. In this work we examine whether the characteristics of the electromagnetic counterparts to these binaries -- driven by magnetosphere interactions prior to the merger event -- can provide an independent way to test gravity in the most strongly dynamical stages of binary mergers. We find that the electromagnetic flux emitted by binaries in these scalar-tensor theories can show deviations from the GR prediction in particular cases. These differences are quite subtle, thus requiring delicate measurements to differentiate between GR and the type of scalar-tensor theories considered in this work using electromagnetic observations alone. However, if coupled with a gravitational-wave detection, electromagnetic measurements might provide a way to increase the confidence with which GR will be confirmed (or ruled out) by gravitational observations.

Es wurde untersucht, inwiefern Autoritarismus moderiert von Angst und dem subjektiv wahrgenommenen Ansteckungsrisiko durch COVID-19, Soziale Dominanzorientierung und Politischer Zynismus die Maßnahmenbeurteilung beeinflussen. Außerdem wurden Daten aus Österreich und Deutschland in Hinblick darauf und auf die Maßnahmenzufriedenheit am Wohnort verglichen. Im Zeitraum vom 26.04.2020 bis 03.05.2020 wurden Daten von N= 258 Teilnehmer*innen mittels Online Fragebogen erhoben. Es wurde ein direkter Effekt von Autoritarismus (p <.001), autoritären Einstellungen (p = .022), Angst vor COVID-19 (p<.001) und Sozialer Dominanzorientierung (p = .002) auf die Maßnahmenbeurteilung festgestellt. Kein Effekt zeigte sich für das subjektiv wahrgenommene Ansteckungsrisiko, Politischen Zynismus und der Interaktion zwischen Autoritarismus und Angst vor COVID- 19 sowie dem subjektiv wahrgenommenen Ansteckungsrisiko. Autoritarismus (p = .001) und politischer Zynismus (p <.001) unterschieden sich zwischen Österreich und Deutschland, während die Maßnahmenbeurteilung und autoritäre Einstellungen sich nicht unterschieden. Die Maßnahmenzufriedenheit war in Österreich signifikant höher als in Deutschland. Psychologische Faktoren wie Autoritarismus, Angst vor COVID-19 und Soziale Dominanzorientierung scheinen bei der Maßnahmenbeurteilung während der Pandemie eine Rolle zu spielen. Die festgestellten Länderunterschiede suggerieren außerdem, dass die gewählte Kommunikationsstrategie der Politiker*innen einen Effekt auf die Maßnahmenzufriedenheit haben kann.

description: We investigate a ladder system with two inequivalent legs, namely a Hubbard chain and a one-dimensional electron gas. Analytical approximations, the density matrix renormalization group method, and continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations are used to determine ground-state properties, gaps, and spectral functions of this system at half-filling. Evidence for the existence of four different phases as a function of the Hubbard interaction and the rung hopping is presented. First, a Luttinger liquid exists at very weak interchain hopping. Second, a Kondo-Mott insulator with spin and charge gaps induced by an effective rung exchange coupling is found at moderate interchain hopping or strong Hubbard interaction. Third, a spin-gapped paramagnetic Mott insulator with incommensurate excitations and pairing of doped charges is observed at intermediate values of the rung hopping and the interaction. Fourth, the usual correlated band insulator is recovered for large rung hopping. We show that the wavenumbers of the lowest single-particle excitations are different in each insulating phase. In particular, the three gapped phases exhibit markedly different spectral functions. We discuss the relevance of asymmetric two-leg ladder systems as models for atomic wires deposited on a substrate.

description: The aim of this paper is to deepen the convergence analysis of the scaled gradient projection (SGP) method, proposed by Bonettini et al. in a recent paper for constrained smooth optimization. The main feature of SGP is the presence of a variable scaling matrix multiplying the gradient, which may change at each iteration. In the last few years, an extensive numerical experimentation showed that SGP equipped with a suitable choice of the scaling matrix is a very effective tool for solving large scale variational problems arising in image and signal processing. In spite of the very reliable numerical results observed, only a weak, though very general, convergence theorem is provided, establishing that any limit point of the sequence generated by SGP is stationary. Here, under the only assumption that the objective function is convex and that a solution exists, we prove that the sequence generated by SGP converges to a minimum point, if the scaling matrices sequence satisfies a simple and implementable condition. Moreover, assuming that the gradient of the objective function is Lipschitz continuous, we are also able to prove the O(1/k) convergence rate with respect to the objective function values. Finally, we present the results of a numerical experience on some relevant image restoration problems, showing that the proposed scaling matrix selection rule performs well also from the computational point of view.
Listening to scents: A special olfactory aesthetic in Chinese Classical Garden

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Listening to Scents (Ting Xiang) is one of the scenic spots in Lion Grove Garden which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. In this scenic spot, there are some scent plants in the courtyard such as peonies and magnolias. The theme of this scenic spot Listening to Scents (Ting Xiang) is carved on a brick wall. As well known, scents should be smelled by the nose but not listened to by hears. However, if we go through Chinese gardening history, we can find lots of other scenic spots taking the same name. Through literature review and fieldwork, firstly, this paper shows scenic spots in Chinese classical gardens in different periods. Secondly, the philosophical foundation of Listening to Scents is revealed. Finally, the values awareness of Listening to Scents in Chinese garden heritage is exported. This paper argues that Listening to Scents is a significant olfactory aesthetic concept in ancient Chinese culture which is produced under the aesthetic idea-chaos (Hun dun). In addition, the mechanism of Listening to Scents is transcending physical sensory perception and logical thinking. Listening to Scents suggests people break physical feelings and rationalism spontaneously, return to their true selves, and combine themselves with scents, in this way to realize the nature and true meaning of life.

title: Über die Pädagogizität des Alter(n)s
Creators: name: Plügel, Stanislaus
Year: 2022

description: Dem Alter(n) pädagogische Relevanz zuzusprechen, stellt ein relativ junges Phänomen in der Geschichte der Pädagogik dar. Die Umkehr des traditionellen, pädagogischen Selbstverständnisses der Erziehung Jüngerer durch Ältere erfordert neue, legitimierende Erzählungen, die Erziehung und Bildung nun nicht mehr als abschließbaren Prozess (z.B. mit dem Ziel der Mündigkeit) begreifen können. Im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Masterarbeit werden die Begründungszusammenhänge idealtypisch ausgewählter, sozialwissenschaftlich-pädagogischer Narrative über das Alter(n) auf ihre Geltungsansprüche hin untersucht und mithilfe bildungsphilosophischer Einsätze problematisiert. Der zweite Teil widmet sich der hermeneutischen Annäherung und skeptisch-transzendentalkritischen Analyse des Buches „Über das Altern. Revolte und Resignation“ (1968/2016) des österreichischen Schriftstellers und NS-Widerstandkämpfers Jean Améry. Dieser hat einen Entwurf der Struktur subjektiven Alter(n)serlebens vorgelegt, der den Leib als vermittelnde, aber auch schmerzende und widerständige Instanz im Spannungsfeld von inkorporierter Zeit(-erfahrung) und dynamischem, soziokulturellem Raum begreift. Zuletzt wird versucht aus Amérys Alter(n)skonzept eine problematisierende Perspektive auf sozialwissenschaftliche Alter(n)smodelle zu gewinnen, die das Verhältnis von Leiblichkeit und Alter(n) entweder pathologisieren oder ignorieren.
description: Assigning pedagogical relevance to age and ageing represents a relatively recent phenomenon in the history of pedagogy. The reversal of the traditional, pedagogical self-understanding of the education of younger people by older people requires new, legitimizing narratives, which can no longer understand education as a conclusive process (e.g. with the goal of maturity). In the first part of this master's thesis, the justificatory contexts of idealtypically selected, socio-pedagogical narratives about age and ageing are examined for their claims to validity and problematized with the help of educational-philosophical inserts. The second part is devoted to a hermeneutic approach and skeptical-transcendental-critical analysis of the book „Über das Altern. Revolte und Resignation“ (1968/2016) by the Austrian writer and Nazi resistance fighter Jean Améry. Améry has presented a draft of the structure of subjective life in old age, which understands the body as a mediating, but also painful and resistant instance in the field of tension between incorporated time (experience) and dynamic, socio-cultural space. Finally, Améry's concept of age and ageing is used to gain a problematizing perspective on social science models of age and ageing that either pathologize or ignore the relationship between corporeality and ageing.

It is found that Sr${0.5}$Ce${0.5}$FBiS${2}$ undergoes a second-order transition below $7.5 K, followed by a superconducting transition with the critical temperature Tc=2.8 K. Our transport, specific heat and DC-magnetization results suggest the presence of bulk ferromagneticcorrelation of Ce ion below 7.5 K that coexist with superconductivity when the temperature is further lowered below 2.8 K.

description: A stochastic differential equation that describes the dynamics of single-domain magnetic particles at any temperature is derived using a classical formalism. The deterministic terms recover existing theory and the stochastic process takes the form of a mean-reverting random walk. In the ferromagnetic state diffusion is predominantly angular and the relevant diffusion coefficient increases linearly with temperature before saturating at the Curie point ($T_c$). Diffusion in the macrospin magnitude, while vanishingly small at room temperature, increases sharply as the system approaches $T_c$. Beyond $T_c$, in the paramagnetic state, diffusion becomes isotropic and independent of temperature. The stochastic macrospin model agrees well with atomistic simulations.

Alvin Luciers reflexive Experimentalästhetik

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Alvin Lucier

description: Das gewöhnlich Unhörbare hörbar zu machen, darin besteht die Pionierarbeit Alvin Luciers. Ausgehend von einem traditionellen Musik­verständnis, wie es noch während seines neoklassizistisch geprägten Kompositionsstudiums vorherrschend war, zeichnet die Studie Luciers Schaffen über die live-elektronischen Verbalpartituren ab 1965 bis zur letzten Werkphase der reinen Instrumentalstücke ab 1982 nach. Die minimalistische Konsequenz, mit der er auf die Phänomenalität des Klangs hört, verweist dabei stets auf das reflexive Moment des Wahrnehmens selbst. Der Einsatz von Live-Elektronik orientiert sich zumeist an wissenschaftlichen Experimenten und fokussiert dabei akustische Eigenheiten von natürlichen und architektonischen Räumen sowie den physikalischen Eigenschaften des Schalls. Auch die Instrumentalstücke von Luciers letzter Werkphase stehen trotz traditioneller Notationsformen und Konzertsituationen außerhalb eines konventionellen Musikverständnisses und betonen Luciers radikale ästhetische Position, indem sie allein das Phänomen der Schwebungen thematisieren. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der dezidiert experimentellen Positionen und Konzepte Luciers wird dessen gesamtes Œvre historisch wie theoretisch erschlossen. Dabei wird der Begriff des Realen nach Jacques Lacan fruchtbar gemacht und stellt sich als Schlüsselbegriff für die Analyse des Werkes und der Ästhetik Alvin Luciers heraus, wodurch seine Bedeutung als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der amerikanischen Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts greifbar wird.

description: Recently there has been much progress in the development of stochastic models for state reduction in quantum mechanics. In such models, the collapse of the wave function is a physical process, governed by a nonlinear stochastic differential equation that generalizes the Schrödinger equation. The present paper considers energy-based stochastic extensions of the Schrödinger equation. Most of the work carried out hitherto in this area has been concerned with models where the process driving the stochastic dynamics of the quantum state is Brownian motion. Here, the Brownian framework is broadened to a wider class of models where the noise process is of the Lévy type, admitting stationary and independent increments. The properties of such models are different from those of Brownian reduction models. In particular, for Lévy models the decoherence rate depends on the overall scale of the energy. Thus, in Lévy reduction models, a macroscopic quantum system will spontaneously collapse to an eigenstate even if the energy level gaps are small.

description: There is a no-go theorem forbidding flat and closed FLRW solutions in massive gravity on a flat reference metric, while open solutions are unstable. Recently it was shown that this no-go theorem can be overcome if at least some matter couples to a hybrid metric composed of both the dynamical and the fixed reference metric. We show that this is not compatible with the standard description of cosmological sources in terms of effective perfect fluids, and the predictions of the theory become sensitive either to the detailed field-theoretical modelling of the matter content or to the presence of additional dark degrees of freedom. This is a serious practical complication. Furthermore, we demonstrate that viable cosmological background evolution with a perfect fluid appears to require the presence of fields with highly contrived properties. This could be improved if the equivalence principle is broken by coupling only some of the fields to the composite metric, but viable self-accelerating solutions due only to the massive graviton are difficult to obtain.

description: The ultra high energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos are expected to play a pivotal role in the disquisition of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics as well as serve as an ideal cosmic messengers. This epitomizes the selling point of several currently running or planned neutrino telescopes. The UHE cosmic neutrinos usually perambulate gargantuan scales in the extragalactic universe having a magnetic field. If neutrinos have a finite magnetic moment ($μ_ν$) owing to quantum loop corrections, this may result in spin-flavor oscillations, which can affect the cosmic neutrino flux. Using the current limit and assuming neutrinos to be Dirac particles, we show that the flux of cosmic neutrinos will reduce by half if they traverse few Mpcs through the intergalactic magnetic field, in the range of $\rm μG$ to $nG$. Moreover, one can safely neglect the effect of $μ_ν$ if the current upper bound is improved by a few orders of magnitude even if the neutrinos travel through the size of the visible universe.

"The tradition box"

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In this project, 75 children, aged 4-6, from a rural school worked together with their parents for the preparation and presentation of a wooden box, which was called "the box of tradition". The box was initially decorated, by the parents and children on a work day at the school site, using the traditional art of mosaic. Then they themselves were invited, after first doing a relevant research, to place inside the box a small traditional object or miniature object along with a typed note explaining the use of the object.
Thus, the children got to know in depth, through playful activities, quite a large part of the Cypriot, intangible and tangible tradition. They met e.g. the waterpumpkin where they used to put their drinking water, but they also met the craftsman who decorated pumpkins, danced the pumpkin dance and listened to or made up fairy tales about the pumpkin.
All the work done was presented in a traditional flour-olive mill of the village. The exhibition was interactive as it contained direct contact with dance, song, traditional makers and real objects. The exhibition was open for three days and the children presented their work to visitors, locals and foreigners, who were invited to participate in any activity they wanted. This way children apart from all the knowledge they gained from the whole procedure they simultaneously developed their linguistic and metacognitive abilities and skills, their self- esteem and they had fun.
The goal of getting to know and spreading the Cypriot tradition was beautifully achieved!
Gender Equality and Citizenship Education
Creators: name: Arnot, Madeleine
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2005

description: This article illustrates the ways in which citizenship education can contribute to the marginalisation of women. It focuses particularly on the form of citizenship education recently implemented in England and Wales to demonstrate the gender assumptions of liberal and civic republican traditions, especially the privileging of individualism over collectivism, rationality over the affective domain and difficulties associated with the notion of gender difference. Some of the consequences of the separation between public and private civic spheres are to be found in the marginalisation of sexuality, lesbian and gay citizenship, and violence against women. Alternative conceptualisations of citizenship education would engage in the controversial changes in family life and in gender relations, would 'recognise diversity' and promote notions of female power and agency. These gender-sensitive educational agendas would contribute more effectively to creating mature democratic societies.

Out of the three polarizations of the massive vector meson, we find that the longitudinal one (parallel to the applied magnetic field) melts only at an even higher temperature than the deconfinement temperature, whereas the two transverse polarizations melt at a lower temperature than in the absence of a magnetic field. We also conduct a preliminary investigation of the effect of the magnetic field on the heavy quark diffusion coefficient, showing an increased diffusion constant for the longitudinal polarization with respect to the transverse polarizations.

description: Über Aggression und was zu aggressivem bzw. rücksichtslosem Verhalten im Straßenverkehr führt gib es einige wissenschaftliche Studie von NGO´s und kommerzielle Forschungen. Unter diesen Studien wird eine Sache außer acht gelassen, nämlich wie sich aggressives und rücksichtsloses Verhalten im Straßenverkehr, genauer beim Autofahren, auf das individuelle Verhalten im Straßenverkehr auswirkt und ob regelwidriges Verhalten als solches eingeschätzt wird. Durch eine steigende Anteil an Autofahrern*innen wird eine soziale Interaktion unabdingbar, die durch Alter, Erfahrungen und Führerscheinbesitz beeinflusst wird. Diese Forschung beschäftigt sich damit zu untersuchen, ob nicht regelkonformes Verhalten als solches eingeschätzt wird, durch eben genannten Faktoren beeinflusst wird. In einem weiteren Sinn wird auch untersucht ob sich der Fahrstil durch die Einschätzung verändert. Basierend auf der Rational Choice Theorie soll dargestellt werden, warum sich Individuen bewusst im Straßenverkehr für eine regelwidrige Handlung entscheiden. Die Forschungsfrage die sich daraus entwickelt hat ist: „Unter welchen Voraussetzungen schätzen Individuen mit unterschiedlichen persönlichen Merkmalsausprägungen, ein nicht regelkonformes Verhalten als regelwidrig ein?“ Der dafür entwickelte standardisierte Fragebogen, in Form einer Onlineumfrage wurde für die Erhebung der Daten herangezogen und die bestimmten Situationen im Straßenverkehr anhand demographischer Merkmale aufgefasst wird. Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass die Einschätzung von vielen Faktoren beeinflusst wird.
description: There are some studies by NGO´s and commercial research about agression on the road and what leads to aggression on the road. Among these studies one thing is overlooked and this one thing is how aggressiv and reckless behaviour, while driving, affects individual behaviour and how it is assessed on the road. Because of an increasing porportion of car drivers on the road, social interaction is becoming more important, which is influenced by age, experience and ownership of driving license. This research is concerned with non compliant behaviour and if this behavoiur asssessed as such one. In broader sense this research examines, if the driving style changes becuase of the assessment. Based on the rational choice theory this research aims to show why individuals conscously choose an illegal behaviour on the road. The standardized questionaire, in form of an online survey, was used to collect data based on demograhic characteristics. Therefore i assume that assessement is influenced by many factors.

description: In Germany gender-specific aspects of civic education have been discussed since the early 1990s. Since then some scientists (both women and men) have dealt with this topic, but research is still at the very beginning. The present article gives a summary of the most important contributions and studies. It stresses the relevance of this topic, but also warns against dramatizing it. That is why civic education should aim at enhancing individual skills and scopes of activities for pupils of both genders.

description: This article discusses the relevance of gender issues for social science education and gives an interim report on developments in the field. We explore the significance of gender differences in political attitudes and preferences for certain topics of instruction, consider differences in the learning needs of male and female students, and analyse the curricular challenges involved in incorporating the gender perspective in the classroom. Deficits in the curricular coverage of gender issues reflect the fact that the didactics of social science is still hesitant in its response to the findings of women's and gender studies, and has yet to integrate gender issues as a core element of social science education.

description: We introduce a new analytical method for studying the open quantum systems problem of a discrete system weakly coupled to an environment of harmonic oscillators. Our approach is based on a phase space representation of the density matrix for a system coupled to a two-tiered environment. The dynamics of the system and its immediate environment are resolved in a non-Markovian way, and the environmental modes of the inner environment can themselves be damped by a wider `universe'. Applying our approach to the canonical cases of the Rabi and spin-boson models we obtain new analytical expressions for an effective thermalisation temperature and corrections to the environmental response functions as direct consequences of considering such a tiered environment. A comparison with exact numerical simulations confirms that our approximate expressions are remarkably accurate, while their analytic nature offers the prospect of deeper understanding of the physics which they describe. A unique advantage of our method is that it permits the simultaneous inclusion of a continuous bath as well as discrete environmental modes, leading to wide and versatile applicability.

description: The only known fully ghost-free and consistent Lorentz-invariant kinetic term for a graviton (or indeed for any spin-2 field) is the Einstein-Hilbert term. Here we propose and investigate a new family of candidate kinetic interactions and their extensions to derivative interactions involving several spin-2 fields. These new terms generically break diffeomorphism invariance(s) and as a result can lead to the propagation of 5 degrees of freedom for a single spin-2 field - analogous to ghost-free Massive Gravity. We discuss under what circumstances these new terms can be used to build healthy effective field theories and in the process establish the `Jordan' and `Einstein' frame pictures for Massive-, Bi- and Multi-Gravity.

Forgotten Documents – Gender and Curricula Work in Civic Education: The Case of Germany
Creators: name: Späte, Katrin
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2005

description: Only seldom in discussions on didactics in Germany curricula are researched as relevant documents for the theory and practice of civic education. Their influence is often wrongly estimated as insignificant. But it becomes clear, especially from a gender-theoretical perspective, how significant "curriculum work" is, even for the construction of social realities.

Spin glass experiments

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: A spin glass is a diluted magnetic material in which the magnetic moments are randomly interacting, with a huge number of metastable states which prevent reaching equilibrium. Spin-glass models are conceptually simple, but require very sophisticated treatments. These models have become a paradigm for the understanding of glassy materials and also for the solution of complex optimization problems. After cooling from the paramagnetic phase, the spin glass remains out of equilibrium, and slowly evolves. This aging phenomenon corresponds to the growth of a mysterious "spin-glass order", whose correlation length can be measured. A cooling temperature step during aging causes a partial "rejuvenation", while the "memory" of previous aging is stored and can be retrieved. Many glassy materials present aging, and rejuvenation and memory effects can be found in some cases, but they are usually less pronounced. Numerical simulations of these phenomena are presently under active development using custom-built supercomputers. A general understanding of the glassy systems, for which spin glasses bring a prominent insight, is still under construction.

Social Inequality and Gender
Creators: name: Cyba, Eva
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2005

description: In traditional sociological theories of inequality, the basis for an unequal distribution of social goods and life chances are classes or social strata, which have been formed by the employment position. Since not all women are integrated in the employment world, the problem arose that the disadvantages of women could only be explained by supplementary assumptions about their role in the family, or they would have to be excluded from the sociological analysis altogether. As a criticism to this unsatisfactory situation, feminist scientists developed new explanatory approaches which influenced the development of analysis of sociological inequalities. First, after a comprehensive definition of the phenomena "social inequality," some important aspects of inequality between the sexes will be presented. Second, the central arguments of traditional and feminist theoretical approaches explaining gender-based inequalities are discussed. Third, against this background I outline the main features of my own approach based on the supposition that inequalities concerning gender cannot be attributed to other types of social inequalities, taking into consideration their empirical variety. Finally, I discuss to what extent changes in gender-based inequalities can be explained.

Globalization and Shifting Gender Governance Order(s)
Creators: name: Young, Brigitte
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2005

description: This article analyses the different ways globalisation affects women, showing clearly that the theoretical as well as empirical analyses of globalisation processes remain insufficient without a gender perspective. Based on the thesis that the transformation of specific historic systems of capitalism goes hand in hand with the reconfiguration of gender governance orders, essential elements of this process are described: the decline of the family wage model, the reconfiguration of the public and the private spheres, the increasing polarisation among women and the reprivatization of social reproduction. These changes do not imply only negative consequences for women; they also have the potential of weakening and dissolving local, patriarchal cultures and systems of male domination. Using the examples of the emerging economies in East Asia, the article demonstrates the ambivalence of shifting gender governance orders and emphasises the necessity of future research that includes the gender perspective.

Detecting duplicates in a homicide registry using a Bayesian partitioning approach

description: Finding duplicates in homicide registries is an important step in keeping an accurate account of lethal violence. This task is not trivial when unique identifiers of the individuals are not available, and it is especially challenging when records are subject to errors and missing values. Traditional approaches to duplicate detection output independent decisions on the coreference status of each pair of records, which often leads to nontransitive decisions that have to be reconciled in some ad-hoc fashion. The task of finding duplicate records in a data file can be alternatively posed as partitioning the data file into groups of coreferent records. We present an approach that targets this partition of the file as the parameter of interest, thereby ensuring transitive decisions. Our Bayesian implementation allows us to incorporate prior information on the reliability of the fields in the data file, which is especially useful when no training data are available, and it also provides a proper account of the uncertainty in the duplicate detection decisions. We present a study to detect killings that were reported multiple times to the United Nations Truth Commission for El Salvador.

description: Recently, pioneer research works have proposed a large number of acoustic features (log power spectrogram, linear frequency cepstral coefficients, constant Q cepstral coefficients, etc.) for audio deepfake detection, obtaining good performance, and showing that different subbands have different contributions to audio deepfake detection. However, this lacks an explanation of the specific information in the subband, and these features also lose information such as phase. Inspired by the mechanism of synthetic speech, the fundamental frequency (F0) information is used to improve the quality of synthetic speech, while the F0 of synthetic speech is still too average, which differs significantly from that of real speech. It is expected that F0 can be used as important information to discriminate between bonafide and fake speech, while this information cannot be used directly due to the irregular distribution of F0. Insteadly, the frequency band containing most of F0 is selected as the input feature. Meanwhile, to make full use of the phase and full-band information, we also propose to use real and imaginary spectrogram features as complementary input features and model the disjoint subbands separately. Finally, the results of F0, real and imaginary spectrogram features are fused. Experimental results on the ASVspoof 2019 LA dataset show that our proposed system is very effective for the audio deepfake detection task, achieving an equivalent error rate (EER) of 0.43%, which surpasses almost all systems.

description: Correlation functions of two long-wavelength modes with several short-wavelength modes are shown to be related to lower order correlation functions, using the background wave method, and independently, by exploiting symmetries of the wavefunction of the Universe. These soft identities follow from the non-linear extension of the adiabatic modes of Weinberg, and their generalization by Hinterbichler et. al. The extension is shown to be unique. A few checks of the identities are presented.

description: Let $G$ be a connected and non-necessarily compact Lie group acting on a connected manifold $M$. In this short note we announce the following result: for a $G$-invariant closed differential form on $M$, the existence of a closed equivariant extension in the Cartan model for equivariant cohomology is equivalent to the existence of an extension in the homotopy quotient.
