title: Fluch oder Segen - Soja erobert die heimischen Felder und Küchen
Creators: name: Huszar, Sara
Year: 2019

description: Diese Arbeit hat das Ziel, die Vorteile und Nachteile der Einbürgerung von Soja zu diskutieren, und dabei wird auch Einblick in die Situation am Weltmarkt gegeben. Es ist notwendig, die Geschichte und den Weg der Sojabohnenpflanze zu verfolgen, die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt wahrzuhaben und ihren ökologischen und physiologischen Nutzen oder Schaden zu beschreiben. Des Weiteren wird erörtert, wie speziell unser Heimatland Österreich die Bewirtschaftung der Sojabohnenanbauflächen handhabt und wie die Eigenversorgung und der Handel mit Soja funktioniert.
title: An exploration into women’s choice and premarital experiences of arranged marriages within a South Asian community in Britain. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
Creators: name: Patel, Divya
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: Arranged marriages are a common traditional practice within the South Asian community in Britain (Hemmings & Khalifa, 2013). There is ambiguity surrounding arranged marriage practices as the Home Office (2000) found practices vary from greatly coercive to completely consensual (Hemmings et al., 2013; Marcus, Begum, Alsabahi & Curtis, 2017). This is problematic as there is a lack of research which focuses on the psychological implications of arranged marriages, considering there is a varying degree of consent and pressure experienced. 
Therefore, this study explored the meaning of South Asian women’s lived premarital experiences of their arranged marriages, with particular attention to their experience of choice. Seven South Asian women in Britain were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, which captured the complexities and inter-subjective experiences within their cultural context (Smith, 1996). Four themes were identified: cultural and religious belief systems as influencers, the ripple of pressure, decision-making: negotiation of agency and choice, and self and identity. The themes highlight that women are confined within religious and cultural boundaries that guide their decisions. For South Asian women, permission is fundamental and being given a choice, is perceived as an indirect permission for women to exercise agency, to express their own needs and pursue behaviours in line with their identity. For these women, there were varying degrees of choice given to them at each stage of the process. Importantly, the experience of choice was meaningful for women, as this gave an opportunity for self expression and others caring about their wellbeing. Also, women experienced subtle pressure from their parents and the community, to ensure they uphold cultural duties. The premarital distress often led some women to subjugate their needs, and to accept and conform to alleviate psychological and emotional distress. Although some women exercised personal agency and pushed gender boundaries, many felt objectified due to the lack of involvement within the process, which challenged their sense of identity. 
This research informs clinical practice which is to provide South Asian women a safe therapeutic space to understand their own needs, tensions and feelings which may help women to feel connected to their experiences. Fundamentally, women voiced their need for more rights and involvement within the arrangement process, as their family’s needs were often prioritised. This research also proposes more community work for individuals to be aware of their basic human rights and to understand the subjective element of individual’s experiences in arranged marriages. Limitations and future areas for research are explored and discussed.
title: Integration through marriage
Creators: name: Krefting, Philip
Year: 2019

description: Homo Sapiens ist eine stark wandernde Spezies, welche den ganzen Planeten dauerhaft bevölkert. Heutzutage migrieren weiterhin viele Menschen in andere Regionen. Die Gründe und Folgen der Migration beeinflussen nationale und internationale Politik und werden wissenschaftlich untersucht. Die Integration der Neuankömmlinge in ihre neue Gesellschaft ist ein wichtiger Teil des Migrationsdiskurses und kann durch die Heirat von Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft gemessen werden. Diese Arbeit zeigt den Einfluss einer Auswahl an Variablen auf den Familienstand sowie auf die Heirat von Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft bzw. unterschiedlichen Glaubens. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Partnerwahl immer von der Gelegenheit abhängt, einen bestimmten Partner zu treffen. Die Gelegenheit wiederum wird zu unterschiedlichen Teilen von den ausgewählten, unabhängigen Variablen beeinflusst, z.B. Bildung, Religion oder Arbeitsstatus.
description: Homo Sapiens is a highly migratory species which managed to populate the entire planet. Nowadays, migration is still happening, and its reasons and consequences influence national and international politics and are therefore being scientifically investigated. The integration of newcomers into their target society is key to the migration discourse. Intermarriage is a good way of measuring integration and can easily be accessed through census data. In this paper, we show the effects of a selection of variables on marital status in general on the one hand and on citizenship and religious intermarriage on the other. The results indicate that mate selection is always related to the opportunity of meeting a partner of a certain kind, which is again influenced to different degrees by the chosen predictor variables, e.g. education, religion or employment status.
INTERPERSONAL PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS OF SUICIDAL AND NONSUICIDAL CHILDREN: ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT

subject: Clinical and health psychology

description: Suicidal children and nonsuicidal psychiatric controls, hospitalized on child inpatient units, were given a brief, intensive training program designed to remediate deficits in interpersonal cognitive problem-solving skills. Before and after treatment, thirty 8-to-13-year-old children (ten suicidal and twenty nonsuicidal) were administered two measures of interpersonal coping skills (Means-End Problem-Solving Test and Alternative Solutions Test) and one test of impersonal problem-solving skills (Unusual Uses Test). During seven 45-minute individual sessions, suicidal children and a randomly selected group of half of the nonsuicidal sample received training based on programs developed by Shure and Spivack. Training was effective in enhancing means-end thinking of suicidal children and alternative thinking about both interpersonal and impersonal problems of all trained (suicidal and nonsuicidal) children. Suicidal children, who prior to treatment were significantly more deficient than were nonsuicidal controls in flexibly generating alternative solutions to common interpersonal problems, improved dramatically such that after training they significantly surpassed their nonsuicidal counterparts. Moreover, following training social coping strategies selected by both suicidal and nonsuicidal children were qualitatively more sophisticated; however, whereas nonsuicidal children also used less aggressive solutions, sucidal children did not. These results indicate that suicidal children have specific deficits in both the efficiency and the quality of their cognitive problem-solving skills. Faced with interpersonal conflicts, suicidal children rigidly conceptualize a limited number of viable alternative solutions and focus impulsively on social goals rather than the means to achieve them. These cognitive deficits, which severely restrict coping effectiveness, proved responsive to treatment. Findings are discussed in terms of etiologic factors in childhood self-destruction and their cognitive corelates. Suggestions are made for implementing, improving, and evaluating the effectiveness of such a program on inpatient psychiatric units. Training in interpersonal problem-solving skills is recommended as one component of comprehensive treatment for suicidal children.

title: Elective co-parenting
Creators: name: Jogl, Ines
Year: 2019

description: Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der privaten Lebensform der gewählten Co-Elternschaft. Bei der gewählten Co-Elternschaft handelt es sich um zwei oder mehrere Personen, die sich, ungeachtet ihres Geschlechts oder ihrer sexuellen Orientierung, zusammenfinden, um gemeinsam ein Kind beziehungsweise Kinder zu bekommen und zu erziehen, jedoch ohne eine romantische oder sexuelle Beziehung miteinander einzugehen oder zwingend in einem gemeinsamen Haushalt zu leben. In der theoretischen Aufarbeitung wird vor allem auf bisherige Forschungsergebnisse und verschiedene Formen der Familiengründung und des Familienlebens eingegangen. Zusätzlich werden Leitbilder und ihr Einfluss auf die Gründung einer Familie thematisiert. Die Daten wurden mittels acht episodischer Interviews erhoben. Sechs Interviews wurden mit der Feinstrukturanalyse ausgewertet und acht Interviews mit der Themenanalyse nach Froschauer und Lueger. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit der Individualisierungs- und Pluralisierungsthese von Ulrich Beck sowie dem RREEMM Modell von Siegwart Lindenberg in Beziehung gesetzt. Die zentralen Ergebnisse beziehen sich auf den Entscheidungsprozess für die gewählte Co-Elternschaft sowie auf die strukturierenden Rahmenbedingungen und den Einfluss von Normvorstellungen. Weibliche Personen, die sich für die gewählte Co-Elternschaft entscheiden, wählen diese zumeist aufgrund der gewünschten Beteiligung des biologischen Vaters, wobei das Ausmaß der Partizipation in den meisten Fällen keine Rolle spielt. Männliche homosexuelle Personen hingegen sehen die Co-Elternschaft als einzigen Weg, ein leibliches Kind mit einer väterlichen Beteiligung zu bekommen. Idealvorstellungen von Familie, wie beispielsweise der Vorteil eines männlichen Elternteiles innerhalb einer Familie, haben ebenfalls Einfluss auf die gewählte Co-Elternschaft.

OPINIONS OF FULL-TIME FACULTY OF THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTED FACTORS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AT THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Creators: name: Coniglio, James Vincent
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study ascertained opinions of the full-time faculty of The American University on the seat of authority in deciding twenty-one governance matters and on the importance of ten factors associated with the promotion of unions on campus. Implications were drawn from the findings regarding the extent to which conditions at The American University are favorable to unionization. Further, hypotheses were tested that there are no differences in opinions among the faculty sampled classified by each status characteristic of sex, tenure status, academic rank, and nature of duties (teaching or administrative). The study population was the full-time faculty of The American University in October 1980, excluding faculties of the professional schools, law and nursing. Data were collected using the Collective Bargaining Inventory (CBI), a Likert-type questionnaire constructed by the researcher. One hundred ninety-three faculty (50.4 percent of the study population) provided usable responses to form the study sample of faculty. Hypothesis testing utilized the Wilcoxon Test for ordinal data in two-group comparisons and the Kruskal-Wallis Test in comparisons of more than two groups. The .01 level was set as the standard for statistical significance. Each hypothesis was confirmed, indicating that the relationship between each characteristic considered and the opinions of the study sample was not beyond chance expectation. In the opinion of faculty, the administration is dominant in deciding eleven of twelve governance matters considered and the University Senate holds less than moderate influence in deciding eight of nine campus issues. Among the ten factors associated with the development of collective bargaining on a campus, study respondents, in general, attributed highest importance to faculty salary, job security, and voice in campus decision-making as pertinent to their campus. Of the study participants, 46.4 percent favored representation by a bargaining agent, 47.7 percent were against, and 5.7 percent were undecided. Consequently, a consensus does not exist within the study sample either for or against collective bargaining at The American University. Apparently conditions at the institution have not produced a definitive faculty position regarding the desirability of union representation.
Neutrino oscillations and quantum decoherence

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The phenomenon of neutrino oscillations emerges due to coherent superposition of neutrino mass states. An external environment can modify a neutrino evolution in a way that the coherence will be violated. Such a violation is called quantum decoherence of neutrino mass states and leads to the suppression of flavor oscillations. We overview our recent results on neutrino flavour oscillations accounting for the quantum decoherence of neutrino mass states. We also discuss the influence of the neutrino quantum decoherence on collective neutrino oscillations in supernovae burst.

title: Historisch-vergleichende Studie des Kastilischen, Astur-Leonesischen und Portugiesischen des frühen 13. Jahrhunderts anhand des Tratado de Cabreros
Creators: name: Lenardt, Thomas
Year: 2019

description: Vorliegende Diplomarbeit stellt einen ersten Versuch dar, die fundamentale Wichtigkeit etymologischen Arbeitens und der etymologischen Analyse als Hilfestellung dazu, einen mittelalterlichen spanischen Text wirklich begreifen zu können, aufzugreifen und ihn nicht nur typologisch innerhalb der romanischen Sprachen einordnen zu können, sondern auch innerhalb der einzelsprachigen Diachronie. Da der Tratado de Cabreros einen gewissen Entwicklungsstand der Sprache des frühen 13. Jahrhunderts bewahrt, spiegelt er ein mittelalterliches Kastilisch wider, welches sowohl die lautlichen Innovationen der Sprache auf ihrem Weg von der späten Latinität hin zum modernen Kastilisch als auch absichtlich, durch die Textsorte bedingte, regressive und konservative Züge in seinem Gebrauch aufzeigt. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Einzelwortanalyse und Gegenüberstellung jedes Wortes mit seinem asturianischen und portugiesischen Pendant der selben Zeit und von heute soll nicht nur den Wörtern ihre Geschichten entlocken, sondern auch das Erkennen einer typologischen Linie zwischen diesen Sprachen der Iberischen Halbinsel ermöglichen. Ein weiterer Anspruch dieser Arbeit ist es, die historisch-vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft in der Romanistik unter uns Studierenden wiederzubeleben.

MULTIPLE ASSESSMENT OF CONDUCT-DISORDERED AND NONREFERRED LATENCY-AGE BOYS
Creators: name: Fuchs, Marilyn Hogenson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 5203
subject: Clinical and health psychology

description: The present study investigated differences between conduct-disordered boys and their mothers and matched normal boys and their mothers in clinic observed behaviors and in self-report of child characteristics, in mother's level of depression, and in community insularity. Referred children were diagnosed conduct-disordered on the basis of a thorough screening; diagnoses were confirmed by the independent, blind judgment of a child psychiatrist. Analysis of data from the behavioral observations and from the self-report measures of child characteristics yielded a significant overall difference between the referral groups. Univariate differences between groups were found for two of the behavioral variables: parent social approach behavior and child rate of noncomply behavior. The mothers of the nonreferred boys showed more social approach behavior, and the conduct-disordered boys showed a higher rate of noncompliance than did the normal boys. Each of the five factors from the Becker Bipolar Adjective Checklist and each of the four scales from the Parent Attitude Test were found to be significantly different for the referral groups, with the conduct-disordered children being rated as being less well adjusted in each instance. No difference was found between groups for mother's self-reported level of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory, or for community insularity as measured by the Community Insularity Checklist. Findings supported Patterson's coercion hypothesis to describe the interaction of a family with a behaviorally disturbed child. Treatment implications from the present research suggest that mothers of conduct-disordered boys do need help in learning how to elicit compliance from their children. Therapists also should key attention to whether the mother of a behaviorally disturbed child shows social approach behaviors when interacting with her child.
InstructPatentGPT: Training patent language models to follow instructions with human feedback
Creators: name: Lee, Jieh-Sheng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this research, patent prosecution is conceptualized as a system of reinforcement learning from human feedback. The objective of the system is to increase the likelihood for a language model to generate patent claims that have a higher chance of being granted. To showcase the controllability of the language model, the system learns from granted patents and pre-grant applications with different rewards. The status of "granted" and "pre-grant" are perceived as labeled human feedback implicitly. In addition, specific to patent drafting, the experiments in this research demonstrate the model's capability to learn from adjusting claim length and inclusion of limiting terms for narrowing claim scope. As proof of concept, the experiments focus on claim ones only and the training data originates from a patent dataset tailored specifically for artificial intelligence. Although the available human feedback in patent prosecution are limited and the quality of generated patent text requires improvement, the experiments following the 3-stage reinforcement learning from human feedback have demonstrated that generative language models are capable of reflecting the human feedback or intent in patent prosecution. To enhance the usability of language models, the implementation in this research utilizes modern techniques that enable execution on a single consumer-grade GPU. The demonstrated proof of concept, which reduces hardware requirements, will prove valuable in the future as more human feedback in patent prosecution become available for broader use, either within patent offices or in the public domain.

Selection of multi-ring charged current vu 1π+ samples at T2K far detector
Creators: name: Mohan, Lakshmi S
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) is an accelerator long baseline experiment that measures the neutrino oscillation parameters by observing $nu_mu$ ($bar{nu}_mu$) disappearance and $nu_e$ ($bar{nu}_e$) appearance from a nearly pure $nu_mu$($bar{nu}_mu$) beam. The experiment has both near and far detectors situated at 280 m and 295 km respectively from the beam production target. The far detector Super-Kamiokande (SK) where $nu$ and $bar{nu}$ interact is a water Cherenkov detector. The dominant interactions at $sim0.6$ GeV where T2K flux peaks are charged current quasi--elastic (CCQE) which result in single ring events. The next largest CC interaction at T2K energy is resonant 1$pi$ production where the events will have multi--ring topology. The addition of CC $nu_mu1pi^+$ samples to the T2K analysis is expected to improve the precision on $sin^2theta_{23}$ and $|Delta{m^2_{32}}|$. A cut based selection study is used to select $nu_mu$CC $1pi^+$ like events accumulated in neutrino enhanced beam operation. The details of this study will be presented in this poster.

A rare, hidden , neutrino Astronomy within The ICECUBE noisy data
Creators: name: Fargion, Daniele
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Icecube neutrino detector in last decade recorded an abundant noisy atmospheric rain of upward, contained, muon track neutrinos, up to TeVs energy. Their overabundance over electron atmospheric showers or cascade ones, had been well tested. Above tens TeV energy, the sudden overcome of shower or cascades rain, even within PeV energy (2013), the high energy starting events, HESE, more abundant than the muon neutrino tracks, probed the change of flavor composition and suggested the rise of a neutrino astronomy. An additional, unique, probable correlation with an AGN (2017) neutrino event with its early gamma activity, made most convinced of these HESE Astrophysical Nature.
 However, after a decade, a wide list of puzzles and contradictory events led us to consider a quite different reading key. Its consequence led us to discover a totally new different selection tool able to filter only a few, but guaranteed astrophysical events

description: This Thesis elaborates the livelihood conditions of the Karen People in the borderlands of Burma and Thailand. Since World War II Burma has suffered from power struggles between various governmental and military actors driven by conflicting political interests. The unstable situation in Myanmar and the resulting conflicts in the past decades have led to the involuntary displacement and forced removal of certain ethnic groups. Furthermore hundreds of thousands of refugees were forced to settle in the border region of the two countries seeking protection. In refugee camps as well as in villages and communities in the region, the Karen and other ethnic groups have been trying for decades to lead a new life and preserve their identity. The existing literature and empirical field data are used to describe the historical processes behind the conflicts, the everyday realities of the Karen and the aid organizations assisting in relief management at the border.

A SIMPLE MACROECONOMIC MODEL OF AN OPEN AND UNDERDEVELOPED ECONOMY: EL SALVADOR 1960-1976
Creators: name: Glower, Carlos J.
Publisher: name: American University

description: This study represents an attempt to present a macroeconomic model of an economy which typifies the "open and small economy" found in the economics literature. The model is used to examine the external vulnerability which results from the degree of openness and the potentiality of the effectiveness of public policy to ameliorate such vulnerability. The country chosen is El Salvador, not only because of its degree of openness, but also because its exports are based on one agricultural export: coffee. Chapter II presents a descriptive analysis of the economy with particular emphasis on the links between the internal and external sectors. The specification, identification, estimation, and stability conditions of the model are presented in Chapter III. In the first part of Chapter IV we simulate the model in order to establish the level of predictive accuracy. Using Theil's inequality coefficient, it is found that the model performs better than a simple extrapolation model. An ex-post simulation is carried out to determine the quantitative level of predictive accuracy. This simulation established that the model can predict GNP for a future year within an eight per cent difference from the actual value. This level of accuracy was assumed to be satisfactory to simulate the effects of public policy changes and changes in the exogenous coffee price variable. We also investigated the level of built-in stability in the tax structure. It was found that the income-tax structure provides a fifteen per cent stabilization effectiveness and that the coffee export-tax reduces the income change which results from an increase in the price of coffee by 59 per cent. Having examined the structure of internal and external stability, we analyzed the alternatives available to the public authorities in order to further stabilize drastic income changes which result from the changes of world coffee prices. The simulations provide exploratory evidence that the necessary changes in public expenditure to offset the effects of the external sector are beyond the reasonable financial capabilities of the public authorities. This indicates the precarious situation which an agricultural mono-exporting country faces in the world arena.
title: Ankommen? Der Ankommensprozess Geflüchteter in zwei oberösterreichischen Gemeinden

description: Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich mit dem Ankommensprozess Geflüchteter in zwei oberösterreichischen Gemeinden. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf zwei Kernbereichen der Refugee Studies, Integration wie Identität. Es stehen dabei vor allem Fragen im Spannungsfeld von Identität(skonstruktionen), Integration sowie zugleich großen Unsicherheiten in Hinblick auf die Zukunft in Österreich im Mittelpunkt. Zur Informationsgewinnung wurde auf qualitative Methoden der Datenerhebung zurückgegriffen und diesbezüglich sowohl Interviews mit geflüchteten Personen, als auch mit Ehren- wie Hauptamtlichen in der Flüchtlingsbetreuung und mit den Bürgermeistern dieser Gemeinden geführt. In Bezug auf gewonnene Ergebnisse meiner Forschung lässt sich festhalten, dass das Spannungsfeld zwischen Integration und Identität nur einen sehr geringen Stellenwert einnimmt. Von großer Bedeutung ist hingegen auf der einen Seite das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen und auf der anderen Seite zwischen Integration und einem ungesicherten Aufenthaltsstatus. Ein großer Einfluss geht demnach von der gesellschaftlichen und politischen Stimmung in Bezug auf AsylwerberInnen und Flüchtlingen aus. Voraussetzung für einen erfolgreichen Ankommensprozess ist folglich die passenden Rahmenbedingungen dafür zu schaffen und Möglichkeiten zu bieten, in der österreichischen Gesellschaft ankommen zu können.

Year: 2019

description: Die Arbeit untersucht Wittgensteins Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Traum im Sinne seiner philosophischen Psychologie systematisch darzustellen. Das bedeutet im Wesentlichen die Ana-lyse unserer Verwendung der Ausdrücke "Traum" bzw "träumen", die uns auch das Wesen dieser Phänomene erhellen. Dabei werden angelehnt an Wittgensteins Begriff der übersichtlichen Dar-stellung vier Bedeutungsfelder unterschieden, in denen sich Wittgenstein mit dem Phänomen Traum beschäftigt: der Traum als inneres , "privates" Erlebnis im Zusammenhang von Traumerin-nerung und Traumerzählung; Wittgenstein Ausdruck von "Traum der Sprache" und seien Kritik einer Bedeutungstheorie die Bedeutung als inneres Erlebnis interpretiert, Wittgensteins Kritik an Descartes Traumargument in seinen "Meditationen2 und Wittgenstein Kritik an Freuds Traum-deutung. Im Anhang werde alle in den Manuskripten enthaltenen persönlichen Traumprotokolle Wittgenstein aufgelistet.

NOvA Test Beam detector calibration
Creators: name: Kralik, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The dominant systematic uncertainty for the NOvA oscillation analyses comes from our imperfect knowledge of the detectors’ calibration and response; it is therefore imperative to utilize the unique opportunity of the NOvA Test Beam experiment to characterize and calibrate our detectors without reliance on Monte Carlo simulation. The NOvA Test Beam consists of a scaled down version of the NOvA detectors and beamline instrumentation capable of identifying electrons, muons, pions, kaons and protons and measuring their tracks and momenta. In order to understand any differences between the Test Beam and the standard detectors, it is crucial to accurately calibrate the Test Beam detector. In this poster we will present the motivation for the NOvA Test Beam experiment and the methodology employed for its detector calibration using cosmic muons. We will also describe the process of calibration in NOvA in general, as well as discuss its impact on the NOvA physics results.
