description: The concept of a safe and just operating space (SJOS) provided through combining the safe operating space (SOS) concept and the doughnut framework, delineates boundaries for ecological processes (e.g. climate change) and social wellbeing (e.g. food) at global scale. The integration of social wellbeing into the SOS concept through defining boundaries for humanity has become known as a SJOS concept. Although various studies have attempted to operationalize this SJOS concept, no synthesis has been conducted of the progress made and the obstacles faced. To address this need, we reviewed empirical studies and developed a conceptual framework of four operational steps for identifying the challenges and opportunities in operationalizing SJOS for regional social-ecological systems (SES). The steps include: 1) Understanding the SES to investigate the genesis in terms of selecting indicators and contextualization, which also include challenges such as selection of indicators, data availability and framework development to operationalize the SJOS concept; 2) Exploring the systems by understanding and unravelling the SES dynamics (e.g. feedbacks, nonlinearity) due to the limitation of existing modelling approaches; 3) Understanding the system governance by integrating stakeholders’ visions and equity dimension of sustainability and conceptualizing the SJOS; 4) The communication of SJOS entails additional layers of complexity as this concept integrates diverse challenges (e.g. equity) and disciplines into the sustainability assessment. In contrast, overcoming the challenges offers opportunities for transformation to sustainability within the limits of SES across different scales. The operational framework can thus be used in assessing the sustainability of SES.

description: Ce mémoire a pour objet l’enseignement d’un thème spécifique en histoire : la Suisse pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Cette histoire a longtemps été sujette à de nombreuses polémiques et a suscité des débats historiographiques importants. Depuis la publication du Rapport final de la Commission indépendant d’experts (Rapport Bergier) en 2002, les thèses élogieuses sur le rôle de la Suisse pendant cette guerre ont été remises en question et les nombreuses collaborations économiques entre les milieux dirigeants helvétiques de l’époque et le Troisième Reich ont été mises en lumière. Cet aspect de l’histoire suisse peine à être trouver sa place dans les manuels scolaires vaudois qui, depuis des années, continuent à présenter un point de vue idéalisé de cette époque. Pour ce travail, le contenu didactique et les discours sur ce thème du manuel Nathan, utilisé entre 2012 et 2021 dans les écoles vaudoises, et ceux de la version probatoire du manuel MER, mis à disposition des enseignants à partir de 2021, sont analysés et comparés. Après avoir démontré que les acquis de la recherche historique ne sont toujours pas intégrés dans ces deux manuels, ce qui renforce l’impression d’une histoire toujours considérée comme trop sensible pour être présentées aux élèves, ce mémoire interroge aussi la pratique des enseignants sur ces questions. Une analyse qualitative auprès d’enseignants d’un collège vaudois portant sur l’utilisation des manuels et sur l’enseignement de l’histoire helvétique à cette période, a permis de mettre en évidence le fait que cette histoire est encore très peu enseignée en classe. La place accordée au rôle de la Suisse pendant cette période par les enseignants est emblématique d’un rapport à l’histoire helvétique déconnecté de l’Histoire internationale, qui découle en partie de la présentation qu’en font les manuels Nathan et MER.

description: Ce mémoire présente la planification, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation d’un enseignement en classe d’histoire. Relativement aux prescriptions du PER, l’intérêt de ce travail réside dans le développement d’un dispositif original visant à travailler l’objectif pédagogique suivant : le repérage et l’analyse des références historiques, des anachronismes, des erreurs et des falsifications présentes dans une représentation de l’histoire. En l’occurrence, nous proposons une réflexion critique sur une séquence pédagogique axée sur l’analyse du genre documentaire. Dans ce sens, notre recherche vise à observer l’impact potentiel d’une telle séquence sur l’évolution des représentations des élèves. En d’autres termes, comment pouvons nous transmettre à des élèves, l’idée selon laquelle un documentaire représente une appréciable source d’informations, tout en étant une œuvre à caractère cinématographique et servant les propos d’une narration. Par conséquent, les intentions de cette dernière devraient régulièrement être prises en considération lors du visionnage d’un documentaire. Aussi, ce mémoire s’intéresse de façon transversale à la question de l’intérêt pédagogique de l’analyse comparée de ressources historiques. Ce travail est conçu à partir de la série-documentaire Apocalypse, et se focalise sur l’analyse de sa présentation de la guerre d’Indochine, dans son dernier opus : la guerre des mondes (2019).

description: Models of thermal emission of neutron stars, presumably formed in their atmospheres, are needed to infer the surface temperatures, magnetic fields, chemical composition, and neutron star masses and radii from the observational data. This information, supplemented with model equations of state and neutron star cooling models, is expected to move us further in understanding the fundamental properties of the superdense matter in the neutron star interiors. The neutron star atmospheres are very different from those of usual stars due to the immense gravity and huge magnetic fields. In this presentation we review the current status of the neutron star atmosphere modeling and present most important results.

description: We derived expressions for energy, momentum and angular momentum losses due to gravitational and electromagnetic radiation from the closed superconducting chiral cosmic strings of arbitrary form. The expressions for corresponding radiation rates into the unit solid angle have the form of four-dimensional integrals. In the special case of piece-wise linear strings these formulas are reduced to sums over the kinks. We calculate numerically the total radiation rates for three examples of string loops in dependence of current along the string.

description: We investigate by Lattice Boltzmann methods the effect of inertia on the deformation and break-up of a two-dimensional fluid droplet surrounded by fluid of equal viscosity (in a confined geometry) whose shear rate is increased very slowly. We give evidence that in two dimensions inertia is {\em necessary} for break-up, so that at zero Reynolds number the droplet deforms indefinitely without breaking. We identify two different routes to breakup via two-lobed and three-lobed structures respectively, and give evidence for a sharp transition between these routes as parameters are varied.

description: This paper explores the possible impact of the combination of forest and non-forest settings on recreation values. We extend the traditional contingent valuation method by introducing seven dichotomous choice occasions. To answer each valuation question, each respondent is asked to choose between a policy scheme and the status quo. Each scheme is composed of various programmes while each programme is linked to the recreational quality of one natural area. An extra distance is used as a proxy of the bid. The results show that respondents distinguish between schemes according to the number of programmes included. Nevertheless, a “substitution effect” occurs when all programmes are supposed to be implemented. Individual WTP ranges from €6.51 for the forest alone (e.g. 55.35 extra kilometres per group-vehicle) to €18.11 (e.g. 153.9 extra kilometres per group-vehicle) for the complete scheme. Our results stress the fact that recreation in forests must not be isolated from other natural areas. From a more general point of view, valuation based on multi-attribute approaches must be favoured on “multi-environment” sites.

description: En partant du principe que l’outdoor education, de par sa plasticité, peut répondre à différents objectifs disciplinaires et transversaux, il s’agit dans ce travail d’extraire ses composantes à travers une revue critique et analytique des diverses conceptions et implémentations de cette pratique éducative à l’international, afin de les réagencer et proposer un modèle fonctionnel et « novateur » de l’outdoor education au secondaire en Suisse. Cette forme est novatrice dans la mesure où elle met explicitement en son centre le thème de la relation au monde sous un angle aussi théorique que pratique, et elle est fonctionnelle car elle se fonde sur la prise en compte des aractéristiques géographiques de la Suisse ainsi que sur les considérations curriculaires du secondaire. Tout l’art consiste à allier cet élan d’innovation avec les invariants structurels en jeu à dans la formulation des lignes directrices de cette Outdoor Education dans la Résonance. Enfin, pour rendre possible une transposition et une vérification sur le terrain, il s’agit d’élaborer un modèle évaluatif qui permettrait aux enseignants du secondaire de calibrer, jauger et planifier leurs sorties dans la perspective d’un Outdoor Education dans la Résonance. Ce travail est divisé en trois parties distinctes. La première partie consiste en une recherche documentaire sur les différentes pratiques de l’enseignement en extérieur à l’international. En suivant une démarche méthodique originale, il s’agit d’identifier les diverses composantes de l’outdoor education, ce qui permet de dépasser le simple particularisme et de créer une forme synthétique. La deuxième partie a pour tâche de formuler les lignes directrices de l’Outdoor Education dans la Résonance en s’appuyant sur le fruit des recherches documentaires à l’internationale, sur le contexte Suisse et sur la « sociologie de la relation au monde » élaborée par Hartmut Rosa, qui fait office de fondement théorique central de ce travail. La troisième partie s’attelle à transposer cette création intellectuelle en pratique. À travers un outil d’évaluation axé sur des pratiques concrètes, il un support est proposé pour évaluer -et par là planifier- la pertinence d’une sortie vis-à-vis des finalités visées par l’Outdoor Education dans la Résonance.

 Chorotype. Sardinian; widespread in the south and also occurring along the west coast of the island (Fig. 26). Affinities: Central Mediterranean, very close to D. (A.) picicornis.
 Notes. This is the most common Allodanacaea of the island, particularly in Cagliari province, and it is often collected in numbers. It is very similar to D. (A.) picicornis and cannot be distinguished from it by external characters only. It may well be a subspecies; it was given species rank only because its distribution area (Fig. 26) overlaps with that of D. (A.) picicornis picicornis (Fig. 25), even though the two taxa have not yet been collected together.

description: The IKKT or IIB matrix model has been proposed as a non-perturbative definition of type IIB superstring theories. It has the attractive feature that space--time appears dynamically. It is possible that lower dimensional universes dominate the theory, therefore providing a dynamical solution to the reduction of space--time dimensionality. We summarize recent works that show the central role of the phase of the fermion determinant in the possible realization of such a scenario.

description: The main objective of this article is to analyze the impact of institutional constraints on the adoption and use intensity of improved rice varieties at the farm level. Among institutional barriers to the adoption of improved technologies by farming households, this paper focuses on credit constraints and deficiencies of transportation infrastructures. In our methodological process, a formal theoretical framework is examined before specifying the econometric model. The theoretical findings show a positive relationship between the amount of credit available and the adoption level of improved rice varieties. They also indicate a negative impact of transportation costs on the intensity of use of these new varieties. Econometric evidence was implemented from 311 Ivorian rice farmers using a fractional logit model. The econometric estimates confirm the findings that improving access to credit and reducing transportation costs encourage the adoption of modern rice varieties.

description: The thesis is a comparative and multidisciplinary study of legendary genealogies in the historical writing of northern England and Iceland c. 1120 – c. 1241. Historical writing was produced in abundance over this period in both areas and the frequent contact between England and Scandinavia, as well as shared use of early medieval insular sources make them especially suitable for comparison. The Viking invasions and settlement in England had a significant impact on English culture, language and literature and changed attitudes to their own legendary past. The Danish conquest of England in the early eleventh-century also brought the insular and Scandinavian worlds closer together, and even after the Norman Conquest in 1066, England and Scandinavia engaged in scholarly and textual exchange The theoretical framework for the thesis combines approaches from religious history, art history, political history, literature history and gender history. The main research questions of the thesis consider the dissemination, development, and purpose of legendary genealogies. The sources are a collection of Durham related manuscripts with illuminations of the pagan god Woden (c. 1120–88) in two historical works De Primo Saxonum Aduentu and De Gestis Regum; Genealogia Regum Anglorum (Rievaulx, 1153x54) by Aelred of Rievaulx; two works attributed to Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda (Iceland, 1220s) and Heimskringla (Iceland, 1225x35). Common to the sources is the inclusion of genealogies that stretch from legendary generations to living individuals at the time of writing. Thus, genealogies connected dynasties and civilisations in mutual descent from pagan, Trojan and biblical ancestors. By analysing textual dissemination as well as political contexts, literary patronage and mechanisms in legitimisation of power, the thesis address amalgamations of origin myths, the use and significance euhemerised pagan gods, and female generations in genealogies.

description: Japanese government bodies are often said to be trapped in ‘infallibility’. However, the analysis of this aspect is fragmented. To identify the nature of government infallibility and its impact on government behaviors, we analyzed how Japan’s five major newspapers use this term. To this end, we qualitatively categorized newspapers’ narratives that mention ‘government infallibility.’ The results indicate that the newspaper articles use the term ‘infallibility’ primarily in three ways: as a ‘myth’ that the government does not err, as a ‘principle’ that the government must not err, and as a ‘premise’ in policy formation and implementation wherein the government is regarded as infallible. Newspaper articles have rarely mentioned the ‘pressure’ from external audiences on the infallibility of the government. It is recognized that adherence to infallibility has adverse effects on public administration, such as a slowdown in decision-making, risk-averse policymaking, avoidance of policy change, inappropriate post-processing to deceive apparent infallibility, and concealment of information. Notably, the media rarely address the consequences of their own pursuit of infallibility in public administration. This study contributes to the literature by identifying four facets of infallibility (myth, principle, premise, and pressure) and how they influence government policymaking and implementation.

description: We show that gas in a large fraction of low mass dark matter halos may form Toomre stable disks, if angular momentum is conserved when the gas contracts. Such halos would be stable to star formation and therefore remain dark. This may potentially explain the discrepancy between the predicted and observed number of dwarf satellites in the Local Group, as well as the deviation between the predicted and the observed faint end slope of the luminosity function. The above mechanism does not require a strong variation of the baryon fraction with the virial mass of the dark halo. We show that model fits to rotation curves are also consistent with this hypothesis: none of the observed galaxies lie in the region of parameter space forbidden by the Toomre stability criterion.

description: The concept of a safe and just operating space (SJOS) provided through combining the safe operating space (SOS) concept and the doughnut framework, delineates boundaries for ecological processes (e.g. climate change) and social wellbeing (e.g. food) at global scale. The integration of social wellbeing into the SOS concept through defining boundaries for humanity has become known as a SJOS concept. Although various studies have attempted to operationalize this SJOS concept, no synthesis has been conducted of the progress made and the obstacles faced. To address this need, we reviewed empirical studies and developed a conceptual framework of four operational steps for identifying the challenges and opportunities in operationalizing SJOS for regional social-ecological systems (SES). The steps include: 1) Understanding the SES to investigate the genesis in terms of selecting indicators and contextualization, which also include challenges such as selection of indicators, data availability and framework development to operationalize the SJOS concept; 2) Exploring the systems by understanding and unravelling the SES dynamics (e.g. feedbacks, nonlinearity) due to the limitation of existing modelling approaches; 3) Understanding the system governance by integrating stakeholders’ visions and equity dimension of sustainability and conceptualizing the SJOS; 4) The communication of SJOS entails additional layers of complexity as this concept integrates diverse challenges (e.g. equity) and disciplines into the sustainability assessment. In contrast, overcoming the challenges offers opportunities for transformation to sustainability within the limits of SES across different scales. The operational framework can thus be used in assessing the sustainability of SES.

description: Issues on climate change, global warming, renewable energy, food security, forest conservation, sustainable marine life resources, and protecting wildlife are becoming central issues for the world community these days. Many studies on sustainable development programs have been made by many researchers, UN Agencies, governmental and NGOs to come up with alternative solutions, and strategies, in approaching sustainable development issues. Therefore, this study is going to explore the role of Hadih Maja as one of Acehnese Oral Tradition and the local wisdom of Aceh indigenous societies in Sumatra which is in line with their cultural heritage to maintain the sustainability of their life and natural resources, which finally lead to reach the UN SDGs 2030 Agenda. The method of this study is a literature review by implementing the ecocriticism approach. The result of this study has proven that the content of the Hadih Maja has met the concept of Sustainable Forest Conservation and Sustainable Wild Life Conservation which relate to the UN SDGs category, number 1, 2, 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17 that can be used as a basis formula in designing a new action plan to support the UN SDGs 2030 Agendas. This study tries to explore the role of Hadih Maja as one of Acehnese Oral Tradition and the local wisdom of Aceh indigenous societies in Sumatra which is in line with their cultural heritage to maintain the sustainability of their life and natural resources, which finally leads to reach the UN SDGs 2030 Agenda. Issues on climate change, global warming, renewable energy, food security, forest conservation, sustainable marine life resources, and protecting wildlife are becoming common interests among the world’s community these days. That is why this study has become significant to be considered among researchers and stakeholders. Moreover, the ecocriticism analysis of the local oral literature and its role in environmental protection and sustainable development studies becoming the novelty of this study.
(Re)pensar a segurança jurídica no sistema de justiça moderno: descrição de algumas experiências de mediação de conflitos em Angola

description: O artigo explora algumas experiências de mediação e resolução de conflitos realizadas na província de Luanda e em várias comunidades do interior do país. Os resultados destas experiências de mediação e resolução de conflitos, confrontados com o contributo teórico e legislativo sobre esta matéria, permitem demonstrar que, no sistema de justiça moderno, o Estado perdeu, efetivamente, o monopólio da resolução dos conflitos (entenda-se também por administração da justiça). Todavia, a existência de mecanismos alternativos aos tribunais, para a resolução de conflitos, não representa ipso facto um retrocesso aos períodos da vingança ou da justiça privada. Inversamente, o mecanismo da mediação e resolução de conflitos, por exemplo, para além de, indiretamente garantir a segurança jurídica, por via dos acordos firmados entre as partes, contribui, em grande medida, para afirmação de uma verdadeira cidadania ativa.

description: Two-photon absorption (TPA) fluorescence of biomarkers has been decisive in advancing the fields of biosensing and deep-tissue in vivo imaging of live specimens. However, due to the extremely small TPA cross section and the quadratic dependence on the input photon flux, extremely high peak-intensity pulsed lasers are imperative, which can result in significant photo- and thermal-damage. Previous works on entangled TPA (ETPA) with spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) light sources found a linear dependence on the input photon-pair flux, but are limited by low optical powers, along with a very broad spectrum. We report that by using a high-flux squeezed light source for TPA, a fluorescence enhancement of 47 is achieved in fluorescein biomarkers as compared to classical TPA. Moreover, a polynomial behavior of the TPA rate is observed in the DCM laser dye.

description: Phytochemical studies led to the isolation of a new phenylpropanoid glucoside, named purpuroside (1), along with eight known compounds (2–9) from the bark of Bauhinia purpurea. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of its spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of compound 2 was verified by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 inhibited NO production in mouse peritoneal macrophages with IC50 values from 35.5 to 63.0 μM.

description: On 2019 August 14 the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo gravitational wave interferometer announced the detection of a binary merger, S190814bv, with a low false alarm rate (FAR) of about 1 in $1.6\times 10^{25}$ years, a distance of $267\pm 52$ Mpc, a 90\% (50\%) localization region of about 23 (5) deg$^2$, and a probability of being a neutron star--black hole (NS-BH) merger of $>99\%$. The LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) defines NS-BH such that the lighter binary member has a mass of $<3$ M$_\odot$ and the more massive one has $>5$ M$_\odot$, and this classification is in principle consistent with a BH-BH merger depending on the actual upper mass cut-off for neutron stars. Additionally, the LVC designated a probability that the merger led to matter outside the final BH remnant of $<1\%$, suggesting that an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart is unlikely. Here we report our optical follow-up observations of S190814bv using the Magellan Baade 6.5 m telescope to target all 96 galaxies in the GLADE catalog within the 50\% localization volume (representing about 70\% of the integrated luminosity within this region). No counterpart was identified to a median $3σ$ limiting magnitude of $i=22.2$ ($M_i\approx -14.9$ mag), comparable to the brightness of the optical counterpart of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 at the distance of S190814bv; similarly, we can rule out an on-axis jet typical of short GRBs. However, we cannot rule out other realistic models, such as a kilonova with only $\sim 0.01$ M$_\odot$ of lanthanide-rich material, or an off-axis jet with a viewing angle of $θ_{\rm obs}\gtrsim 15^\circ$.

description: Without proper control of numerical and methodological errors in theoretical predictions at the per mille level it is not possible to study the effect of input parameters in current hadron-collider measurements at the required precision. We present a new version of the parton-level code MCFM that achieves this requirement through its highly-parallelized nature, significant performance improvements and new features. An automatic differential cutoff extrapolation is introduced to assess the cutoff dependence of all results, thus ensuring their reliability and potentially improving fixed-cutoff results by an order of magnitude. The efficient differential study of PDF uncertainties and PDF set differences at NNLO, for multiple PDF sets simultaneously, is achieved by exploiting correlations. We use these improvements to study uncertainties and PDF sensitivity at NNLO, using 371 PDF set members. The work described here permits NNLO studies that were previously prohibitively expensive, and lays the groundwork necessary for a future implementation of NNLO calculations with a jet at Born level in MCFM.

description: We present results for the equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory obtained on anisotropic lattices with the anisotropy $ξ\equiv a_s/a_t = 2$. The pressure and energy density are calculated on $N_t / ξ= 4, 5$ and 6 lattices with the integral method. They are found to satisfy the leading $1/N_t^2$ scaling from our coarsest lattice $N_t/ξ=4$. This enables us to carry out well controlled continuum extrapolations. We find that the pressure and energy density agree with those obtained using the isotropic plaquette action, but have smaller and more reliable errors.

description: Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that allows visualisation and quantification of biochemical, physiological and pharmacological processes in living subjects. This is achieved through application of radiotracers – compounds labelled with positron emitting radionuclides. Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of neurons resulting in impairment of brain function leading to cognitive decline and can affect movement. The underlying pathology of many neurodegenerative diseases is misfolding of proteins such as α-synuclein, the key pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Also implicated in the processes of neurodegeneration is neuroinflammation, which is observed by the activation of microglia – the immune cells of the brain. Activation of microglia is associated with the upregulation of the 18 kDa mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO). This work has involved the synthesis and characterisation of novel compounds that have the potential for being applied as radiotracers for imaging α-synuclein fibrils (project 1), or TSPO (project 2) via PET. Over the course of project 1 a library of compounds was synthesised based upon structural modifications of a lead structure identified from the literature. These compounds then underwent screening via biophysical methodologies in order to determine their affinity to α-synuclein fibrils. This stage of the work involved the development of a novel biophysical technique – microscale thermophoresis (MST). A general automated radiosynthetic method to afford the [18F]fluoro-derivatives of these compounds has also been developed, and preliminary in vitro autoradiography studies and an in vivo microPET scan has been performed. For project 2, an automated radiosynthetic method was developed to produce [18F]GE387, a lead compound identified through collaboration with GE Healthcare. This radiotracer has then been applied to preliminary in vitro autoradiography and an in vivo microPET study using rats with induced neuroinflammation alongside control rats.

description: With the rapidly increasing trend of cage fish farming in freshwater, practices to enhance fish farming sustainability are increasing. We estimated how different levels of phytase enzyme (0, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 FTU kg−1) affects the growth performance and nutrient load of tilapia (5.2 ± 0.1 g) reared in 15 cages for 180 days. The experimental design followed a completely randomized approach, with three replicates. The most significant increase in growth was observed in the groups that were given a diet supplemented with phytase at 4000 FTU kg−1 of feed. These groups reached a slaughter size of 420.2 ± 6.6 g and experienced weight gain approximately three times greater than the control group (final weight: 146.8 ± 4.8 g). The phosphorus and nitrogen load for groups that were given diets with a phytase supplement of 4000 FTU kg−1 of feed were 54% and 32% lower, respectively, compared to the control group and other diets that were supplemented with phytase. Hence, it is advisable to add phytase at a concentration of 4000 FTU kg−1 feed in order to improve the growth performance and increase the availability of nutrients, while also minimizing waste in the cage culture of tilapia.
