title: О последних пароксизмах антикельтской паранойи в Риме
title: On the latest paroxysms of anti-Celtic paranoia in Rome

description: В историографии существует мнение, что metus Gallicus, возникший в начале IV в. до н.э. после битвы при Аллии и разграбления Рима сенонами, исчез в середине I в. до н.э., когда Цезарь захватил Косматую Галлию и подавил Великое галльское восстание (H. Bellen). Этот иррациональный страх был чем-то вроде паранойи, которая время от времени овладевала умами и чувствами римлян. Последние пароксизмы антикельтской паранойи в Риме имели место в конце Республики и в начале Принципата. Некоторые интересные и характерные свидетельства по этому поводу предоставлены в наше распоряжение Цицероном. В 9 г. н.э., после поражения легионов Квинтилия Вара в Тевтобургском лесу, Август приказал изгнать галлов и германцев из Рима. Такая реакция римских властей приводит нас к выводу, что остатки metus Gallicus в то время еще существовали. По-видимому, этот иррациональный страх полностью исчез только после 21 г. н.э., когда римляне подавили восстание Юлия Флора и Юлия Сакровира в Галлии. Затем на смену metus Gallicus пришел страх перед furor Teutonicus. Наконец, германцы оказались куда более опасными врагами Римской империи, чем в прежние времена были галлы.
description: There is an opinion in historiography that metus Gallicus, having arisen in the beginning of the IV century BC after the battle of Allia and the sack of Rome by the Senones, disappeared in the middle of the I century BC, when Caesar captured Gallia Comata and suppressed the Great Gallic revolt (H. Bellen). That irrational fear was something a kind of paranoia, which from time to time took possession of minds and feelings among the Romans. The last paroxysms of anticeltic paranoia in Rome took place at the end of the Republic and at the beginning of the Principate. Some interesting and characteristic evidences on this subject have been placed at our disposal by Cicero. In 9 AD after the defeat of Quinctilius Varus’ legions in Teutoburg Forest, Augustus ordered to expel the Gauls and the Germans from Rome. Such a reaction of the Roman authorities leads us to a conclusion that remains of metus Gallicus still existed at that time. Apparently, that irrational fear completely disappeared only after 21 AD, when the Romans had suppressed the revolt of Julius Florus and Julius Sacrovir in Gallia. Then metus Gallicus was replaced by fear of furor Teutonicus. Finally, the Germans proved to be far more dangerous enemies of the Roman empire, than the Gauls were in former times.

description: Хорошо известно, что спустя год после убийства императора Домициана преторианская гвардия взбунтовалась, потребовав он принцепса Нервы выдать им на расправу убийц его предшественника. Нерва был вынужден не только выполнить это требование, но и публично выразить благодарность мятежникам. Вдохновителем мятежа принято считать Касперия Элиана, префекта претория. В статье рассматриваются мотивы, которыми он мог руководствоваться. Автор считает недоказанным, что Элиан действовал в интересах либо Траяна, либо кого-то из его возможных соперников, наместников крупных вооруженных провинций.
description: It is well known that a year after the assassination of Emperor Domitian, the Praetorian Guard rebelled, demanding the princeps Nerva to hand over the murderers of his predecessor to them for reprisal. Nerva was forced not only to fulfill this demand, but also to publicly express his gratitude to the rebels. The instigator of the rebellion is considered to be Casperius Aelianus, Prefect of the Praetorian Guard. The report examines the motives that may have guided him. The author considers unproven that Aelianus acted in the interests of either Trajan or one of his possible rivals, the governors of large armed provinces.

description: We investigate the entropy bound for local quantum field theory in this paper. Both the bosonic and fermionic fields confined to an asymptotically flat spacetime are examined. By imposing the non-gravitational collapse condition, we find both of them are limited by the same entropy bound $A^{3/4}$, where $A$ is the boundary area of the region where the quantum fields are contained in. The gap between this entropy bound and the holographic entropy has been verified.

description: This review describes in detail the essential techniques used in microscopic theories on spintronics. We have investigated the domain wall dynamics induced by electric current based on the $s$-$d$ exchange model. The domain wall is treated as rigid and planar and is described by two collective coordinates: the position and angle of wall magnetization. The effect of conduction electrons on the domain wall dynamics is calculated in the case of slowly varying spin structure (close to the adiabatic limit) by use of a gauge transformation. The spin-transfer torque and force on the wall are expressed by Feynman diagrams and calculated systematically using non-equilibrium Green's functions, treating electrons fully quantum mechanically. The wall dynamics is discussed based on two coupled equations of motion derived for two collective coordinates. The force is related to electron transport properties, resistivity, and the Hall effect. Effect of conduction electron spin relaxation on the torque and wall dynamics is also studied.

description: The optoelectronic properties of nanoscale systems such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoribbons and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are determined by their dielectric function. This complex, frequency dependent function is affected by excitonic resonances, charge transfer effects, doping, sample stress and strain, and surface roughness. Knowledge of the dielectric function grants access to a material's transmissive and absorptive characteristics. Here we introduce the dual scanning near field optical microscope (dual s-SNOM) for imaging local dielectric variations and extracting dielectric function values using a mathematical inversion method. To demonstrate our approach, we studied a monolayer of WS$_2$ on bulk Au and identified two areas with differing levels of charge transfer. Our measurements are corroborated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Kelvin force probe microscopy (KPFM), photoluminescence (PL) intensity mapping, and tip enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL). We extracted local dielectric variations from s-SNOM images and confirmed the reliability of the obtained values with spectroscopic imaging ellipsometry (SIE) measurements.

description: Questo lavoro è uno studio sul monitoraggio degli habitat e delle specie vegetali di interesse comunitario e bioindicatrici svolto nell’Abruzzo meridionale, nell’ambito del progetto LIFE 2004. Il progetto prevede un inventario della biodiversità vegetale in boschi a Fagus sylvatica e l’individuazione dei principali fattori ecologici e dei fattori di rischio.
A tale scopo sono stati effettuati rilievi fitosociologici, misure microclimatiche, rilievi di struttura forestale, profili di suolo ed humus. I dati raccolti sono stati successivamente elaborati statisticamente.
Le specie delle faggete studiate mostrano risposte multifattoriali ai parametri del suolo e degli humus, evidenziando la multidimensionalità della nicchia: tra i molteplici fattori che la descrivono, la distribuzione delle specie del sottobosco appare principalmente legata ai nutrienti del suolo (carbonio, azoto e C/N).
La risposta diversificata delle specie ai parametri del suolo suggerisce l’esistenza di un modello di distribuzione in base al quale le specie si comportano come “un insieme di unità funzionali”, in grado di fornire indicazioni anche puntuali per la gestione.
Sono stati identificati gruppi di specie indicatrici delle stato ecologico delle comunità, delle loro potenzialità e dei possibili rischi.

description: Lithium-Niobate-On-Insulator (LNOI) has emerged as a promising platform in the field of integrated photonics. Nonlinear optical processes and fast electro-optic modulation have been reported with outstanding performance in ultra-low loss waveguides. In order to harness the advantages offered by the LNOI technology, suitable fiber-to-chip interconnects operating at different wavelength ranges are demanded. Here we present easily manufacturable, self-imaging apodized grating couplers, featuring a coupling efficiency of the TE0 mode as high as $\simeq 47.1\%$ at $λ$=1550 nm and $\simeq 44.9\%$ at $λ$=775 nm. Our approach avoids the use of any metal back-reflector for an improved directivity or multi-layer structures for an enhanced grating strength.

description: We propose a scheme to construct the most prominent Abelian and non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states from K-component Halperin wave functions. In order to account for a one-component quantum Hall system, these SU(K) colors are distributed over all particles by an appropriate symmetrization. Numerical calculations corroborate the picture that the proposed scheme allows for a unification of both Abelian and non-Abelian trial wave functions in the study of one-component quantum Hall systems.

description: The growing importance of culture in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL) settings has led to increasing research in this area, resulting in a proliferation of books and papers containing a myriad of innovations and best practices to be implemented by teachers in their classrooms. The consequence of this is to draw attention to culture and cultural diversity and the context in which they operate. However, while culture and (inter)culturality have become popular themes to discuss in and out of the classroom, concepts of culture in current educational practice are sometimes ill-defined. Accordingly, this paper aims to contribute new insights in this field of study to help raise teachers’ awareness to the importance of integrating culture and (inter)culturality into their classroom practice by examining the rationale underlying some of its core concepts and understanding how intercultural awareness is being addressed in FL classrooms in Portuguese state schools. In an attempt to chart how has this being done the following instruments were used: relevant documentary data, a small-scale online questionnaire, and field descriptive notes. Findings suggest that Portuguese EFL teachers seem to be struggling with suitable classroom procedures to promote intercultural awareness in their classes.

description: Reversible diffusion limited cluster aggregation of hard spheres with rigid bonds was simulated and the self diffusion coefficient was determined for equilibrated systems. The effect of increasing attraction strength was determined for systems at different volume fractions and different interaction ranges. It was found that the slowing down of the diffusion coefficient due to crowding is decoupled from that due to cluster formation. The diffusion coefficient could be calculated from the cluster size distribution and became zero only at infinite attraction strength when permanent gels are formed. It is concluded that so-called attractive glasses are not formed at finite interaction strength.

description: We present an investigation of the quiescent and transient X-ray binaries (XRBs) of the Galactic Center (GC). We extended our Chandra analysis of the non-thermal X-ray sources, located in the central parsec, from Hailey et al. (2018), using an additional 4.6 Msec of ACIS-S data obtained in 2012-2018. The individual Chandra spectra of the 12 sources fit to an absorbed power-law model with a mean photon index $Γ$~2 and show no Fe emission lines. Long-term variability was detected from nine of them, confirming that a majority are quiescent XRBs. Frequent X-ray monitoring of the GC revealed that the 12 non-thermal X-ray sources, as well as four X-ray transients have shown at most a single outburst over the last two decades. They are distinct from the six known neutron star LMXBs in the GC, which have all undergone multiple outbursts with

description: The light yield of a water-based Cherenkov detector can be significantly improved by adding a wavelength shifter. Wavelength shifter (WLS) molecules absorb ultraviolet photons and re-emit them at longer wavelengths where typical photomultiplier tubes are more sensitive. In this study, several wavelength shifter compounds are tested for possible deployment in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). Test results on optical properties and chemical compatibility for a few WLS candidates are reported; together with timing and gain measurements. A Monte Carlo simulation of the SNO detector response is used to estimate the total light gain with WLS. Finally, a cosmic ray Cherenkov detector was built to investigate the optical properties of WLS.

description: Many video understanding tasks work in the offline setting by assuming that the input video is given from the start to the end. However, many real-world problems require the online setting, making a decision immediately using only the current and the past frames of videos such as in autonomous driving and surveillance systems. In this paper, we present a novel solution for online action detection by using a simple yet effective RNN-based networks called the Future Anticipation and Temporally Smoothing network (FATSnet). The proposed network consists of a module for anticipating the future that can be trained in an unsupervised manner with the cycle-consistency loss, and another component for aggregating the past and the future for temporally smooth frame-by-frame predictions. We also propose a solution to relieve the performance loss when running RNN-based models on very long sequences. Evaluations on TVSeries, THUMOS14, and BBDB show that our method achieve the state-of-the-art performances compared to the previous works on online action detection.

description: Dagli anni ’90 in poi la Pubblica Amministrazione è stata oggetto di tutta una serie di radicali ed importanti trasformazioni che hanno portato ad una riconfigurazione dell'assetto e dell'organizzazione dei pubblici poteri . Le parole chiave del detto processo di rinnovamento possono sintetizzarsi nella sussidiarietà, costituzionalizzata nell'art. 118, IV comma, della Costituzione, così come riformata dalla legge costituzionale 3/2001, che investe il dialogo e il negoziato tra istituzioni e sistema socio-economico; nella partecipazione dei cittadini al procedimento amministrativo (L. 241/90 e successive modifiche); nella semplificazione e celerità delle risposte dell'Amministrazione ai bisogni della collettività.
Realtà nuove, dunque, la cui attuazione, non sempre semplice in concreto, è stata agevolata e sarà resa sempre più possibile tramite la comunicazione istituzioni-società realizzata con il supporto del fattore tecnologico: comunicazione in rete, multimedialità, e-governement , e-democracy .
A ciò dovrà aggiungersi, in tempi brevi, un ulteriore fondamentale elemento, ovvero quello della trasparenza e conoscibilità della contabilità pubblica, grazie, in particolare, al Sistema Informativo delle Operazioni degli Enti Pubblici (SIOPE), con il quale potrà pervenirsi non solo ad una maggiore puntualità nella rendicontazione delle attività intraprese dagli Enti stessi in attuazione di piani programmatici di interventi, ma attraverso il quale soltanto potrà pervenirsi al raggiungimento di tutta una serie di obiettivi, sui quali ci si soffermerà nel corso della trattazione del presente lavoro di ricerca.

description: В статье рассматривается битва при Месихе в контексте событий персидского похода императора Гордиана III. В статье приводятся аргументы в пользу того, что решающим событием похода следует считать битву при Месихе. Данные источников позволяют уверенно говорить о крупном поражении римлян, однако, римская армия явно не была полностью разгромлена. Поражение при Месихе предопределило неудачный исход персидского похода Гордиана и привело к заключению невыгодного для Рима договора, условия которого изменили баланс сил на Ближнем Востоке в пользу персов. Рассматриваются также различные версии смерти Гордиана III. Предлагается версия гибели императора, которая согласуется с большинством разноречивых свидетельств источников.
description: The article deals with the Battle of Mesiche in the context of the events of the Persian campaign of Emperor Gordian III. The article provides arguments in favor of the fact that the battle of Mesiche should be considered the decisive event of the campaign. The sources allow us to confidently speak of a major defeat for the Romans, however, the Roman army was clearly not completely defeated. The defeat at Mesiche predetermined the unsuccessful outcome of Gordian's Persian campaign and led to the conclusion of an unfavorable treaty for Rome, the terms of which changed the balance of power in the Middle East in favor of the Persians. Various versions of the death of Gordian III are also considered. A version of the death of the emperor is proposed, which is consistent with most of the contradictory evidence from sources.

description: Можно предположить, что среди приготовлений римлян для борьбы с элефантерией царя Пирра (280 275 гг. до н. э.) были не только четырехколесные повозки, но и какие-то колесные аппараты-колесницы. Эту информацию донес до нас автор «Эпитомы о военном деле» Вегеций (III,24), который взял ее напрямую из источника и переработал, или получил описание через какой-то позднеантичный латинский источник-посредник. На этой же позднеантичной традиции о конструкции древних колесниц базировался и аноним «О военных делах» (гл. 12), который, можно полагать, модифицировал устройство, снабдил его поднимающимися серпами и присвоив ей новое название currodrepanus.
description: It can be assumed that among the preparations of the Romans to combat the elephantry of Epirote king Pyrrhus (280-275 BC) there were not only four-wheeled wagons, but also some wheeled vehicles, i. e. chariots. This information was brought to us by the author of the "Epitoma rei militaris" Vegetius (3,24), who took it directly from the source and reworked it, or received it through a late-antique Latin intermediary source. The description of the anonymous of "De rebus bellicis" (ch. 12) was based on the same late-antique tradition about the construction of ancient chariots which, presumably, modified the chariots, which were provided them with rising sickles and assigned it a new name currodrepanus.

description: We report a thorough dielectric characterization of the alpha relaxation of glass forming glycerol with varying additions of LiCl. Nine salt concentrations from 0.1 - 20 mol% are investigated in a frequency range of 20 Hz - 3 GHz and analyzed in the dielectric loss and modulus representation. Information on the dc conductivity, the dielectric relaxation time (from the loss) and the conductivity relaxation time (from the modulus) is provided. Overall, with increasing ion concentration, a transition from reorientationally to translationally dominated behavior is observed and the translational ion dynamics and the dipolar reorientational dynamics become successively coupled. This gives rise to the prospect that by adding ions to dipolar glass formers, dielectric spectroscopy may directly couple to the translational degrees of freedom determining the glass transition, even in frequency regimes where usually strong decoupling is observed.

Yet, much of the insight to be gained from seeing American Jewry as constitutively entangled in many ways with other Jewries has not yet been realized. Transnational American Jewish studies are still in their infancy. This issue of PaRDeS presents current research on the multiple entanglements of American with Central European, especially German-speaking Jewries in the 19th and 20th centuries. The articles reflect the wide range of topics that can benefit from a transnational understanding of the American Jewish experience as shaped by its foreign entanglements.

description: We present dayside thermal emission observations of the hottest exoplanet KELT-9b using the new MAROON-X spectrograph. We detect atomic lines in emission with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 using cross-correlation with binary masks. The detection of emission lines confirms the presence of a thermal inversion in KELT-9b's atmosphere. We also use M-dwarf stellar masks to search for TiO, which has recently been invoked to explain the unusual \textit{HST}/WFC3 spectrum of the planet. We find that the KELT-9b atmosphere is inconsistent with the M-dwarf masks. Furthermore, we use an atmospheric retrieval approach to place an upper limit on the TiO volume mixing ratio of 10$^{-8.5}$ (at 99\% confidence). This upper limit is inconsistent with the models used to match the WFC3 data, which require at least an order of magnitude more TiO, thus suggesting the need for an alternate explanation of the space-based data. Our retrieval results also strongly prefer an inverted temperature profile and atomic/ion abundances largely consistent with the expectations for a solar composition gas in thermochemcial equilibrium. The exception is the retrieved abundance of Fe$^+$, which is about 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than predictions. These results highlight the growing power of high-resolution spectrographs on large ground-based telescopes to characterize exoplanet atmospheres when used in combination with new retrieval techniques.

description: В статье анализируется состояние общественных настроений и городской среды в целом в эпоху общеимперских антихристианских гонений в середине III в. В исследовательской литературе принято, как правило, рассматривать политику императорской власти и издаваемые ей антихристианские эдикты, а также реакцию на них Церкви, тогда как широкие общественные настроения остаются без должного внимания. При этом реакция городских слоев могла быть различной, горожане могли выступать инициаторами преследований, как это случилось в Александрии накануне гонения Деция, так и вести себя достаточно пассивно. Разными были и религиозные предпочтения отдельных слоев городского населения, и как следствие разной была реакция на религиозные мероприятия, проводимые императорской властью. Реконструкции всех этих обстоятельств мешает недостаток источников, кроме тех случаев, где церковные авторы специально описывают детали общеимперских гонений, однако свидетельства, содержащиеся в переписке Киприана Карфагенского, а также богатая агиографическая традиция Северной Африки позволяют значительно дополнить имеющуюся картину поведения горожан во время гонений, что позволяет расширить традиционное представление об антропопрактиках в античном городе.

It has been more common in the academic studies to consider the policy of the imperial government, including the anti-Christian edicts issued and the reaction of the Church to them, while broad public sentiments, as a rule, haven’t been in the center of the research attention. At the same time the reaction of the urban strata could be different, while townspeople could act as initiators of the persecution (as it happened in Alexandria on the eve of the persecution of Decius) or behave quite passively. The religious preferences of certain sections of the urban population also differed, due to the varying reaction to religious events held by the imperial authorities. The reconstruction of all these circumstances is hampered by the lack of sources, except for those cases where church authors specifically describe the details of the imperial persecutions. However, the evidence contained in the correspondence of Cyprian of Carthage, as well as the rich hagiographic tradition of North Africa, can significantly add to the existing picture of the behavior of the townspeople during the persecution. This allows expand the traditional understanding of anthropological practices in the ancient cities.

description: We use a quantitative spatial equilibrium model to evaluate the distributional and welfare impacts of a recent temporary rent control policy in Berlin, Germany. We calibrate the model to key features of Berlin’s housing market, in particular the recent gentrification of inner city locations. As expected, gentrification benefits rich homeowners, while poor renter households lose. Our counterfactual analysis mimicks the rent control policy. We find that this policy reduces welfare for rich and poor households and in fact, the percentage change in welfare is largest for the poorest households. We also study alternative affordable housing policies such as subsidies and re-zoning policies, which are better suited to address the adverse consequences of gentrification.

Development of pigeon feed for commercial squab production in British Columbia
Creators: name: Waldie, Gwenith A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the protein and energy requirements of squabbing pigeons. The first experiment was carried out at a commercial farm, with birds housed in pens, each containing 10-12 pairs. Two pelleted feeds of different protein concentrations (low protein (LP) with 16% CP and 2937 kcal ME/kg, and high protein (HP) with 22% CP and 2783 kcal ME/kg) were fed, with and without whole yellow corn, cafeteria-style. A low protein intake was observed with LP + corn, which adversely affected squab growth and livability, without affecting egg production traits or adult body weight. HP without corn resulted in a high protein intake with no effect on squab production. The other two treatments (HP + corn and LP) had intermediate protein intake while squab production was unaffected. It was concluded that the cafeteria feeding program (HP + corn) may be replaced by a single pelleted ration, such as LP, without adversely affecting squab production. The second experiment was carried out at the new UBC Pigeon Nutrition Unit, to determine the requirement for, and utilization of, different fat sources by pigeons. Birds were housed in pair-cages and fed one of 5 pelleted rations, with 35 pairs per treatment. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (with no added fat , 15% crude protein and 2650 kcal ME/kg) to which was added either sunflower oil (SFO) or animal tallow (AT) at levels of 3% or 6%. Birds fed the basal diet produced no squabs, whereas those on other treatments produced at least 6 squabs. Intake data from the first seven weeks of the trial indicated that pigeons eat to meet an energy requirement of approximately 235 kcal HE per pair per week when not producing squabs. Energy intake of those adults raising squabs vas highly variable and did not appear to correlate with squab production. The source of fat did not significantly affect squab production.
title: The impact of blood pressure and treatment on long-term survival in hypertensive patients with high risk for cardiovascular disease using data from the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT)
Creators: name: Godec, TR

description: The ASCOT randomised factorial trial compared calcium channel blocker (CCB) based-therapy versus beta blocker (BB) based-therapy and statin versus placebo. 19,342 hypertensive patients were recruited between 1998 and 2001 and followed for a median of 5.5 years. Primary results were published in 2003 and 2005. A total of 8,580 British ASCOT patients were followed-up for a median of 17.4 years to the end of January 2018, by which time 4040 deaths had occurred, 1,402 from cardiovascular (CV) causes. This thesis analysed the impact of randomised treatment and blood pressure on long-term mortality in this subset of patients and consists of three main sections. The effect of randomised treatment on long-term survival was assessed, taking into consideration potentially non-proportional treatment effects over time and competing risks from different causes of death. Results showed that statin-therapy reduced coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality compared to placebo (hazard ratio [HR]=0.76, p=0.018) and CCB-based treatment reduced stroke mortality compared to BB-based treatment (HR=0.73, p=0.011). Several alternative components of blood pressure recorded at baseline were compared for their ability to predict long-term CV mortality. Each was strongly associated with CV mortality and their relative association attenuated with age. While systolic and pulse pressure (PP) were the strongest single predictors, PP had the clearest continuous monotonic relationship with risk, and was the stronger predictor in older subjects. Repeated blood pressure measurements collected during the trial were used to investigate how features of blood pressure profiles relate to and predict CV-related mortality, e.g. within-subject mean blood pressure, variability and rate of change over time. Factors influencing blood pressure level and variation were investigated. Landmark survival analyses showed again that PP was the most useful summary measure, and both its mean and its variability were independently associated with risk of CV mortality. A clinically useful risk score model was developed containing mean PP and the coefficient of variation (COV) for PP, along with key risk factors. Overall, this thesis provides useful insights into the impact of treatments on CV mortality risk in the long-term and how blood pressure relates to CV mortality risk in the long-term.

description: Mathematical analysis with numerical application of the newly formulated fractional version of the Adams-Bashforth method using the Atangana-Baleanu derivative which has nonlocal and nonsingular properties is considered in this paper. We adopt the fixed point theory and approximation method to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution via general two-component time-fractional differential equations. The method is tested with three nonlinear chaotic dynamical systems in which the integer-order derivative is modeled with the proposed fractional-order case. Simulation result for different $α$ values in $(0,1]$ is presented.

A Generalization of the Stillinger-Lovett Sum Rules for the Two-Dimensional Jellium

description: In the equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical Coulomb fluids, the long-range tail of the Coulomb potential gives rise to the Stillinger-Lovett sum rules for the charge correlation functions. For the jellium model of mobile particles of charge $q$ immersed in a neutralizing background, the fixing of one of the $q$-charges induces a screening cloud of the charge density whose zeroth and second moments are determined just by the Stillinger-Lovett sum rules. In this paper, we generalize these sum rules to the screening cloud induced around a pointlike guest charge $Z q$ immersed in the bulk interior of the 2D jellium with the coupling constant $Γ=βq^2$ ($β$ is the inverse temperature), in the whole region of the thermodynamic stability of the guest charge $Z>-2/Γ$. The derivation is based on a mapping technique of the 2D jellium at the coupling $Γ$ = (even positive integer) onto a discrete 1D anticommuting-field theory; we assume that the final results remain valid for all real values of $Γ$ corresponding to the fluid regime. The generalized sum rules reproduce for arbitrary coupling $Γ$ the standard Z=1 and the trivial Z=0 results. They are also checked in the Debye-Hückel limit $Γ\to 0$ and at the free-fermion point $Γ=2$. The generalized second-moment sum rule provides some exact information about possible sign oscillations of the induced charge density in space.

Kennzahlen in Sozialen Institutionen als Führungsaufgabe: Begünstigende Faktoren einer tragfähigen Koexistenz betriebswirtschaftlicher Steuerungsinstrumente und der Sachzielorientierung Sozialer Arbeit

description: Die Begrenzung und zunehmende Verknappung der finanziellen Mittel erfordern eine betriebswirtschaftlich geprägte Denkweise und Steuerung, um das Fortbestehen einer Nonprofit-Organisation (NPO) zu sichern und sich ändernde Rahmenbedingungen der Finanzmittelbeschaffung schnell genug zu adaptieren. Im Nonprofitbereich ist die Akzeptanz von Controlling-Instrumenten längst nicht so selbstverständlich wie in gewinnstrebenden Unternehmen. Die im Vordergrund stehenden gemeinnützigen, sozialen oder kulturellen Ziele finden sich in einem Spannungsfeld aus Zielkonflikten der Sachzielorientierung und den Gesetzmässigkeiten der Betriebswirtschaft. Die Überwindung des Konfliktpotentials hin zur Schaffung einer tragfähigen Koexistenz von betriebswirtschaftlichen Steuerungsinstrumenten und der Sachzielorientierung Sozialer Arbeit ist eine Führungsaufgabe, welche nicht an die Stab- oder Fachstelle Finanzen und Controlling delegiert werden kann, sondern von den Führungspersonen – insbesondere den Geschäftsführer*innen – von Sozialen Institutionen wahrgenommen werden soll. Der Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt auf dem Zusammenhang von Kennzahlen und der Sachzielorientierung Sozialer Arbeit mit Bezug zu Führungsaufgaben. Demnach müssen die Einflüsse von fachlichen, gesetzlichen und strukturellen Anforderungen sowie die Widersprüche in der Vereinbarkeit von Profession, Ökonomie und Stakeholder-Interessen berücksichtigt werden. Das gilt auch für die Forderungen nach Rechenschaft, Legitimation und Wertekohärenz und das Bewusstsein für Fehler der Führung beim Einsatz von Kennzahlen und Kennzahlensystemen. Die Konzeption von fünf Faktoren, welche die Koexistenz von Betriebswirtschaft und Sachzielorientierung begünstigen, erfolgt zunächst mittels deduktiver, theoriegeleiteter Hypothesenbildung. Anschliessend wird anhand einer retrospektiven Fallstudie die begünstigende Wirkung der identifizierten Faktoren gezeigt. Im Rahmen von Interviews untermauern eine Fachexpertin und zwei Fachexperten die Praxistauglichkeit basierend auf ihren Erfahrungen. Mit der gelebten Konsequenz in der Prozesssteuerung, mit der Berücksichtigung der Relevanz hinsichtlich der Kennzahlensystem-Gestaltung, mit dem Gewährleisten von Transparenz über den Kennzahleneinsatz, mit einer sichergestellten Stringenz in der Rollenklärung und im Rollenbewusstsein sowie mit einem Wertekohärenz begünstigenden Führungsverständnis, kann die oberste Leitung einer Organisation massgeblich zu einem gelungenen Einsatz von Kennzahlensystemen im spezifischen Spannungsfeld von NPO beitragen.
