description: The magnetic moments of $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ decuplet baryons have been calculated in the chiral constituent quark model ($χ$CQM) with explicit results for the contribution coming from the valence quark polarizations, sea quark polarizations, and their orbital angular momentum. Since the $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ decuplet baryons have short lifetimes, the experimental information about them is limited. The $χ$CQM has important implications for chiral symmetry breaking as well as SU(3) symmetry breaking since it works in the region between the QCD confinement scale and the chiral symmetry breaking scale. The predictions in the model not only give a satisfactory fit when compared with the experimental data but also show improvement over the other models. The effect of the confinement on quark masses has also been discussed in detail and the results of $χ$CQM are found to improve further with the inclusion of effective quark masses.

Postabortion Contraception: A Systematic Literature Review on a Critical Intervention for Maternal and Reproductive Health
Creators: name: Michalak, Mallory
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Postabortion contraception is one of the most effective interventions for preventing unintended pregnancies and subsequent abortions. Despite the fact that unsafe abortion continues to be a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, postabortion contraception is often inaccurately framed as only a reproductive health issue, rather than a relevant issue in both maternal and reproductive health. The prevention of unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion, as well as the promotion of birth spacing, makes postabortion contraception a highly effective tool for improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes. This systematic literature review focuses on the prevalence and characteristics of postabortion contraceptive uptake, as well as promising approaches to improve service delivery. In order to improve both reproductive and maternal health globally, particularly in low and middle-income countries, stakeholders need to invest in both the research and practice of providing high quality, comprehensive postabortion contraceptive counseling and services, particularly for long-acting reversible methods.

description: The hyperfine structure of the interstitial muonium (Mu) in rutile (TiO$_2$, weakly $n$-type) has been identified by means of a muon spin rotation technique. The angle-resolved hyperfine parameters exhibit a tetragonal anisotropy within the $ab$ plane and axial anisotropy with respect to the $\langle 001\rangle$ ($\hat{c}$) axis. This strongly suggests that the Mu is bound to O (forming an OH bond) at an off-center site within a channel along the $\hat{c}$ axis, while the unpaired Mu electron is localized around the neighboring Ti site. The hyperfine parameters are quantitatively explained by a model that considers spin polarization of the unpaired electron at both the Ti and O sites, providing evidence for the formation of Mu as a Ti-O-Mu complex paramagnetic state. The disappearance of the Mu signal above $\sim$10 K suggests that the energy necessary for the promotion of the unpaired electron to the conduction band by thermal activation is of the order of $10^1$ meV. These observations suggest that, while the electronic structure of Mu (and hence H) differs considerably from that of the conventional shallow level donor described by the effective mass model, Mu supplies a loosely bound electron, and thus, serves as a donor in rutile.

description: We study N=1 theories on Hermitian manifolds of the form M^4=S^1xM^3 with M^3 a U(1) fibration over S^2, and their 3d N=2 reductions. These manifolds admit an Heegaard-like decomposition in solid tori D^2xT^2 and D^2xS^1. We prove that when the 4d and 3d anomalies are cancelled the matrix integrands in the Coulomb branch partition functions can be factorised in terms of 1-loop factors on D^2xT^2 and D^2xS^1 respectively. By evaluating the Coulomb branch matrix integrals we show that the 4d and 3d partition functions can be expressed as sums of products of 4d and 3d holomorphic blocks.

description: Little is known about what barriers and facilitators may hinder the use of RGs and whether little attention is given to this issue in the field of rehabilitation. While in other biomedical fields few studies have already investigated what could be the potential barriers to reporting guideline (RG) adherence (e.g. the lack of consideration given to RGs by the editors and peer-reviewers) the perceived value, the impact of journal RGs and the strategies that journals adopt to encourage their use have not been evaluated in the field of rehabilitation. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to evaluate barriers and facilitators to RGs adherence in rehabilitation journals as experienced by the editors. More specifically, we will: • Explore editors’ opinions and beliefs about the importance of RGs • Map which methods journals use to check the completeness of reporting (for example, if they used automatized electronic systems, or if they provide any training to the editors and peer-reviewers about the importance of the reporting - for example through video tutorials). • Explore what are editors’ thoughts about strategies that can be implemented to improve the focus on the completeness of reporting during the peer-review process.

description: The fluorescence quantum yield of bis-MSB, a widely used liquid scintillator wavelength shifter, was measured to study the photon absorption and re-emission processes in liquid scintillator. The re-emission process affects the photoelectron yield and distribution, especially in a large liquid scintillator detector, thus must be understood to optimize the liquid scintillator for good energy resolution and to precisely simulate the detector with Monte Carlo. In this study, solutions of different bis-MSB concentration were prepared for absorption and fluorescence emission measurements to cover a broad range of wavelengths. Harmane was used as a standard reference to obtain the absolution fluorescence quantum yield. For the first time we measured the fluorescence quantum yield of bis-MSB up to 430 nm as inputs required by Monte Carlo simulation, which is 0.926$\pm$0.053 at $λ_{\rm ex}$ = 350 nm.

Generalization of von Neumann's Approach to Thermalization

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Thermalization of isolated many-body systems is demonstrated by generalizing an approach originally due to von Neumann: For arbitrary initial states with a macroscopically well-defined energy, quantum mechanical expectation values become indistinguishable from the corresponding microcanonical expectation values for the overwhelming majority of all sufficiently late times. As in von Neumann's work, the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian and of the considered observable are required to not exhibit any specially tailored (untypical) orientation relative to each other. But all of von Neumann's further assumptions about the admitted observables are abandoned.
What's love got to do with it? The potential role of oxytocin in the association between postpartum depression and mother-to-infant skin-to-skin contact
Creators: name: Peterman, Katherine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a maternal mental health problem associated with feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is a health care intervention in which the infant is held prone against the mother's bare belly and chest. Oxytocin, the "hormone of love", is a neuropeptide that is both reduced in women with PPD and increased with SSC. This paper proposes that the physiological pathway of oxytocin during the postpartum period is the potential biological mechanism of the association between PPD and SSC. Further research is needed to examine this mechanism and support SSC as a successful intervention for the prevention and treatment of PPD.
Adult Children's Education and Mothers’ Health: Exploring the Roles of Adult Children’s Problems and Mothers’ Widowhood Status
Creators: name: Frase, Robert T
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Sociology of health

description: Education provides people with material, social, and cognitive resources which can bolster well-being, and a growing body of literature documents a positive association between adult children’s education and older parents’ health. Although researchers have begun to explore mechanisms which underlie and shape this association, few studies have considered the role of family context. Guided by the social foreground perspective, the central aims of this dissertation are to investigate: (1) whether adult children’s problems account for the relationship between adult children’s education and mothers’ depression and (2) whether the size of the association between adult children’s education and mothers’ depression varies between married and widowed mothers. To answer these questions, I utilize mediation and moderation techniques and data collected as part of the Within-Family Differences Study. Consistent with past work, I found that mothers with children who completed more education reported fewer depressive symptoms. In the first substantive chapter, mediation analyses suggested that this relationship was mediated by the proportion of adult children who have experienced physical and emotional problems in the last five years. Consistent with the life course perspective and cumulative inequality theory, these results highlight the ways in which (dis)advantages that impact health accumulate both across age and across generations. In the second substantive chapter, moderation analyses revealed that the association between adult children’s education and mothers’ psychological well-being was weaker among widowed mothers. I innovatively argue that these results are consistent with principles of socioemotional selectivity theory. Taken together, the results from these two chapters illuminate the importance of considering family context when studying the intergenerational implications of education for health. In addition, by augmenting our understanding of how and under what conditions adult children’s education matters for mothers’ psychological well-being, my results offer important insights for stakeholders invested in improving the psychological well-being of older adults.
Effect of the Charged Higgs Bosons in the Radiative Leptonic Decays of $B^-$ and $D^-$ Mesons

description: In this work, we study the radiative leptonic decays of $B^-$ and $D^-$ mesons in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet-model type II. The results are obtained using the factorization procedure, and the contribution of the order $O(Λ_{\rm QCD}\left/m_Q\right.)$ is included. The numerical results are calculated using the wave-function obtained in relativistic potential model. As a result, the decay mode $B\to γτν_τ$ is found to be sensitive to the effect of the charged Higgs boson. Using the constraint on the free parameters of the two Higgs doublet model given in previous works, we find the contribution of the charged Higgs boson in the decay mode $B\to γτν_τ$ can be as large as about $13\%$.

description: We previously reported [Naruse, et al. Sci. Rep. 4, 6077, 2014] that the geometrical randomness of disk-shaped silver nanoparticles, which exhibit high reflection at near-infrared wavelengths, serves as the origin of a particle-dependent localization and hierarchical distribution of optical near-fields in the vicinity of the nanostructure. In this study, we show that the induced polarizations are circular, particularly at resonant wavelengths. We formulate optical near-field processes between nanostructures, accounting for their polarizations and geometries, and attribute circular polarization to the layout-dependent phase difference between the electrical susceptibilities associated with longitudinal and transverse-electric components. This study clarifies the fundamental optical properties of random nanostructured matter and offers generic theoretical concepts for implementing nanoscale polarizations of optical near-fields.

description: Our recent study showed that two lab courses, whose goals were exclusively to reinforce material developed in the lecture courses, do not have any impact on exam performance at the 1% level. In this study, we replicated this analysis with a modified version of one of these lab courses whose goals also included modeling, designing experiments, and analyzing and visualizing data. This modified course used the same sets of apparatus as the previous version, but changed the pre-lab and in-lab activities to focus on developing and testing models with data. The study evaluated the impact of these additional goals and activities. We found that they did not affect students' performance on the final exam.

description: Many attempts have already been made for detecting exomoons around transiting exoplanets but the first confirmed discovery is still pending. The experience that have been gathered so far allow us to better optimize future space telescopes for this challenge, already during the development phase. In this paper we focus on the forthcoming CHaraterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS),describing an optimized decision algorithm with step-by-step evaluation, and calculating the number of required transits for an exomoon detection for various planet-moon configurations that can be observable by CHEOPS. We explore the most efficient way for such an observation which minimizes the cost in observing time. Our study is based on PTV observations (photocentric transit timing variation, Szabó et al. 2006) in simulated CHEOPS data, but the recipe does not depend on the actual detection method, and it can be substituted with e.g. the photodynamical method for later applications. Using the current state-of-the-art level simulation of CHEOPS data we analyzed transit observation sets for different star-planet-moon configurations and performed a bootstrap analysis to determine their detection statistics. We have found that the detection limit is around an Earth-sized moon. In the case of favorable spatial configurations, systems with at least such a large moon and with at least Neptune-sized planet, 80\% detection chance requires at least 5-6 transit observations on average. There is also non-zero chance in the case of smaller moons, but the detection statistics deteriorates rapidly, while the necessary transit measurements increase fast. (abridged)

Surface-Mounted Metal-Organic Frameworks as the Platform for Surface Science: Photoreactivity, Electroreactivity, and Thermal Reactivity

description: Bisher haben Forscher Modellsysteme wie Einkristallmetalle oder Metalloxide entwickelt, um reale Pulversysteme besser zu verstehen. Es bestehen jedoch immer noch Fragen hinsichtlich der Oberflächenstruktur und Reaktivität von MOFs (Metall-organische Gerüstverbindungen). Glücklicherweise bieten oberflächenorientierte SURMOFs (surface-oriented SURMOFs) einen alternativen Ansatz für den Aufbau von Modellplattformen zur Untersuchung dieser grundlegenden Aspekte von MOFs. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die organische Photochemie, Elektrokatalyse und thermische Pyrolyse von MOFs aus einer physikalisch-chemischen Perspektive unter Verwendung von Oberflächenwissenschaftstechniken und SURMOF-Plattformen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht nicht nur darin, das Wissen über MOFs und SURMOFs zu erweitern, sondern auch die Leistungsfähigkeit von Oberflächenwissenschaftstechniken und -methoden im Bereich chemischer Reaktionen zu demonstrieren. Zu diesem Zweck verwendet die Arbeit eine hochmoderne UHV-IRRAS-Apparatur (Ultra-High-Vacuum Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy). Ein auf der Oberfläche montiertes MOF (SURMOF) Modellsystem mit Azid-Seitenketten wurde erfolgreich hergestellt und genau überwacht, um chemische Veränderungen während des Betriebs zu erfassen. Die umfassenden Ergebnisse, die durch die Kombination von IRRAS mit in situ XRD, MS und XPS erzielt wurden, zeigen, dass die Photoreaktion von Azid durch die Bildung von hochaktiven Nitren-Gruppen initiiert wird, die anschließend mit benachbarten C=C-Bindungen des Gerüsts reagieren und Pyrrol-Derivate durch intramolekulare Aminierung erzeugen. Ein hochwertiges ZIF-67-SURMOF wurde in einem Flüssigphasen-Schicht-für-Schicht-Verfahren hergestellt und erstmals in der Sauerstoffentwicklungskatalyse (OER) eingesetzt. Die katalytisch aktiven Spezies, CoOOH, in den SURMOF-Derivaten wurden identifiziert, was Einblicke in die Mechanismen der strukturellen Transformation und die Struktur-Leistung-Beziehungen bietet. Durch Zugabe von Ni und B wurde die Überspannung auf 375 mV bei 10 mA/cm2 reduziert. Zusätzlich wurden in situ IRRAS und XPS verwendet, um die strukturellen Übergänge von ZIF-67 zu kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien mit Stickstoffelementen zu enthüllen. NEXAFS-Daten zeigen eine abschließende graphitische Struktur der kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien nach Pyrolyse bei 900 K. Hoffentlich kann diese Arbeit das grundlegende Verständnis und die Anwendungsfelder von auf MOF und SURMOF basierenden Materialien erweitern.

description: We characterize the phenomenon of "crowding" near the largest eigenvalue $λ_{\max}$ of random $N \times N$ matrices belonging to the Gaussian $β$-ensemble of random matrix theory, including in particular the Gaussian orthogonal ($β=1$), unitary ($β=2$) and symplectic ($β= 4$) ensembles. We focus on two distinct quantities: (i) the density of states (DOS) near $λ_{\max}$, $ρ_{\rm DOS}(r,N)$, which is the average density of eigenvalues located at a distance $r$ from $λ_{\max}$ (or the density of eigenvalues seen from $λ_{\max}$) and (ii) the probability density function of the gap between the first two largest eigenvalues, $p_{\rm GAP}(r,N)$. Using heuristic arguments as well as well numerical simulations, we generalize our recent exact analytical study of the Hermitian case (corresponding to $β= 2$). We also discuss some applications of these two quantities to statistical physics models.

description: We demonstrate that recent advances in nanoscale thermal transport and temperature manipulation can be brought to bear on the problem of tailoring thermal radiation from compact emitters. We show that wavelength-scale composite bodies involving complicated arrangements of phase-change chalcogenide (GST) glasses and metals or semiconductors can exhibit large emissivities and partial directivities at mid-infrared wavelengths, a consequence of temperature localization within the GST. We consider multiple object topologies, including spherical, cylindrical, and mushroom-like composites, and show that partial directivity follows from a complicated interplay between particle shape, material dispersion, and temperature localization. Our calculations exploit a recently developed fluctuating-volume current formulation of electromagnetic fluctuations that rigorously captures radiation phenomena in structures with both temperature and dielectric inhomogeneities.

description: Considering the raising socio-economic burden of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), timely and evidence-driven public policy decision making and communication of the latest guidelines pertaining to the treatment and management of the disorder is crucial. Yet evidence suggests that policy makers and medical practitioners do not always have a good understanding of the practices and relevant beliefs of ASD-afflicted individuals' carers who often follow questionable recommendations and adopt advice poorly supported by scientific data. The key goal of the present work is to explore the idea that Twitter, as a highly popular platform for information exchange, could be used as a data-mining source to learn about the population affected by ASD -- their behaviour, concerns, needs etc. To this end, using a large data set of over 11 million harvested tweets as the basis for our investigation, we describe a series of experiments which examine a range of linguistic and semantic aspects of messages posted by individuals interested in ASD. Our findings, the first of their nature in the published scientific literature, strongly motivate additional research on this topic and present a methodological basis for further work.

description: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex social problem, and providing survivors with high quality services often involves a cadre of providers. This paper builds on the participatory process evaluation of a multi-agency collaboration formed to better meet the needs of immigrant Latina and South Asian survivors in Durham County, known as The Durham Multi-Agency Collaboration to Enhance Service Delivery to Immigrant Victims ( referred to as The Durham Collaboration). The Durham Collaboration is a unique collaboration comprised of four community-based organizations with diverse expertise in Durham County, North Carolina (Durham Crisis Response Center, El Centro Hispano, Kiran, and InStepp, Inc). These four organizations partnered with The School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to evaluate their collaborative efforts to improve domestic violence services for Latina and South Asian intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors. A toolkit will be developed from the learned lessons to disseminate to other organizations aiming to improve services for this population. This master’s paper is intended to provide context for the proposed toolkit by describing the research background, methods, and findings in detail, and discuss the translation of these finding into a product that is accessible and useful to service providers. There is a significant focus on the participatory processes, and the contributions of both academic and community researchers will be discussed in detail.

description: We show that in the two-dimensional case, every objective, isotropic and isochoric energy function which is rank-one convex on $\mathrm{GL}^+(2)$ is already polyconvex on $\mathrm{GL}^+(2)$. Thus we negatively answer Morrey's conjecture in the subclass of isochoric nonlinear energies, since polyconvexity implies quasiconvexity. Our methods are based on different representation formulae for objective and isotropic functions in general as well as for isochoric functions in particular. We also state criteria for these convexity conditions in terms of the deviatoric part of the logarithmic strain tensor.
title: Will the German "Zeitenwende" lead to higher integration in the security and defense politics of the European Union?
Creators: name: Felten, Christophe
Year: 2023

description: Es herrscht Krieg in Europa. Der Krieg in der Ukraine bedroht das internationale Recht, die Souveränität des Staates sowie das Funktionieren internationaler Organisationen. In Angesicht von Krieg und Zerstörung muss die Europäische Union handeln und über ihre zukünftige Sicherheitsstrategie entscheiden. Diese Masterarbeit zielt darauf ab, das verfügbare Wissen über Europas Haltung zu Sicherheit und Verteidigung sowie seine aktuelle und potenzielle zukünftige Rolle in militärischen Operationen zu analysieren und zu vertiefen. In diesem Zusammenhang konzentriert sich diese These auf die Frage, ob die deutsche Zeitenwende zu mehr Integration im Bereich der EU-Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik führen wird und somit zur Entwicklung und Etablierung eines europäischen Verteidigungssystems führen kann. Das derzeitige Sicherheitsklima in Bezug auf ein europäisches Verteidigungssystem ist so günstig wie nur möglich, mit politischer und sozialer Unterstützung innerhalb Deutschlands für Investitionen in sein Militär, die beiden Hauptmächte der EU, Deutschland und Frankreich, pflegen ein gutes Verhältnis und streben mehr Kooperation an, existierende politische Stabilität in Europa die das notwendige Umfeld für die Verwirklichung eines so großen Projektes schafft, und der in Europa tobende Krieg, der den nötigen Anreiz zum Aufbau eines starken Verteidigungssystems bietet. Es gibt rechtliche, politische und gesellschaftliche Voraussetzungen für die Schaffung eines europäischen Verteidigungssystems, aber die Frage bleibt, wann die europäischen politischen Eliten den Mut und die Vernunft aufbringen werden, diesen Weg zu gehen.
description: War reigns in Europe. The War in Ukraine is threatening international law, the sovereignty of States, and the functioning of international organizations. In the face of War and Destruction, the European Union is required to act and decide on its future security strategy. This master thesis aims to analyze and deepen the available knowledge on Europe’s stance on Security and Defense as well as its current and potential future role in military operations. It focuses on determining whether the German Zeitenwende will lead to more Integration in EU Security and Defense Politics and can thus lead to the development and establishment of a European Defense System. The current Security Climate regarding a European Defense System is as favorable as it could possibly be, with political and social support within Germany for investments in its military, the EU’s two main powers, Germany, and France, on good terms, political stability within Europe providing the necessary environment for such a huge project to come to fruition, and War raging in Europe providing the necessary incentive to build a strong Defense System. The legal, political, and social framework for a European Defense System is in place, but it is still unclear whether the political elite in Europe will have the courage and rationality to follow it.

title: Molecular modelling and biological implications of non-canonical structures in RNA viruses and long non-coding RNAs
Creators: name: Chapman, Simon
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Guanine quadruplexes folding in single-strand DNA have been extensively studied for some time. But far less attention has been paid to systems arising in duplex DNA or RNA. Furthermore, the literature shows an apparent absence of quadruplex systems generated exclusively by other nucleic acid bases. With guanine quadruplexes (G4s) as a benchmark, a comparison is made here with equivalent complexes folding in DNA and RNA when derived from cytosine, thymine and adenine. Molecular dynamics simulations determined cytosine and thymine models in DNA as relatively fragile systems, but all non-guanine RNA models were found to be stable into biologically relevant times. Uniquely biplanar or triplanar adenine quadruplexes (A4s) have ostensibly not been described. Adenine models constructed for this work were resolved in silico with stabilities comparable to known guanine equivalents. These complexes achieved further significance with the advent of SARS-CoV-2. RNA viruses are characterised by a poly-adenylated structure capping the genomic terminus. This poly(A) tail is crucial to a cascade of viral replicative activity occurring both extra- and intra-cellular during infection. As a route to proposing potential chemotherapy, this study suggests simple biplanar A4s may fold in this poly-adenylated domain. Notably, mRNA configured as a biplanar A4, shows less dynamic activity than DNA equivalents. This observation may be especially relevant in a physiological context. In contrast to well-characterised guanine quadruplexes, co-ordination with cations appears not to impact on stability. These conclusions may apply to SARS-CoV-2, its variants and other pathogenic RNA viruses. The thesis also infers models of potential interactions between small nucleolar RNAs and long non-coding RNAs may have biological relevance. Non-canonical base-pairing in some instances suggests a molecular mechanism for dysfunction in the development of the embryonic pre-frontal cortex.

description: A method to find relations between the operators in the mesonic Lagrangian of Chiral Perturbation Theory at order p^6 is presented. The procedure can be used to establish if the basis of operators in the Lagrangian is minimal. As an example, we apply the method to the two-flavour case in the absence of scalar and pseudo-scalar sources (s=p=0), and conclude that the minimal Lagrangian contains 27 independent operators.

title: Wie beschäftigen sich GW-Schulbücher mit nachhaltiger Entwicklung?
Creators: name: Mayrhofer, Kerstin
Year: 2023

description: Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist ein kontrovers diskutiertes Thema, welchem nicht zuletzt im Unterrichtsfach Geographie und wirtschaftliche Bildung (GW) zentrale Bedeutung zukommt. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass Schulbücher eines der am häufigsten verwendeten Unterrichtsmittel darstellen, untersucht diese Arbeit die Schulbuchreihe Durchblick hinsichtlich der Vermittlung von nachhaltiger Entwicklung in der Sekundarstufe II und legt den Fokus dabei auf die (fehlende) Darstellung von a) Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien, b) Postwachstumsansätzen und c) Verantwortungsfragen. Die Ergebnisse der Schulbuchanalyse zeigen in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien erstens, dass die Begriffe Effizienz, Konsistenz und Suffizienz erst im letzten Lernjahr eingeführt und in weiterer Folge weder verwendet noch auf ihr Potenzial hin analysiert werden. Für Postwachstumsansätze zeigen die Ergebnisse zweitens, dass zwar vereinzelt Visionen alternativer Lebensweisen vorgestellt werden, das Wachstumsparadigma jedoch weitgehend dominiert. Der Blick auf Verantwortungsfragen zeigt schließlich drittens, dass bezüglich Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) ein Zusammenspiel von BNE 1 und BNE 2 gegeben ist, wenngleich das Fundament für letztere zweifelhaft scheint. Auch wenn dies mitunter auf den Lehrplan zurückzuführen sein könnte, konnten in diesem Anknüpfungspunkte verortet werden, welche es ermöglichen, die Lücken im Fundament der BNE 2 zu schließen, was zu einem gelingenden GW-Unterricht beitragen würde.
description: Sustainable development is of central importance not only in society but also in the Austrian school subject Geography and Economic Education (Geographie und wirtschaftliche Bildung, GW). Given that textbooks are widely used in teaching, this thesis investigates how topics of sustainable development are conveyed in the selected textbook series Durchblick. In particular, the study looks at a) strategies towards sustainability, b) ideas regarding degrowth, and c) questions of responsibility, analysing both their depiction and a lack thereof. Firstly, results have shown that the strategies of efficiency, consistency, and sufficiency are only introduced in the final school year, whereupon neither the terminology is applied nor the potential of the individual strategies analysed. Secondly, while some visions of alternative ways of living were found in the context of degrowth, it became evident that the growth paradigm is overwhelmingly dominant. Finally, in terms of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), an interplay of ESD 1 and ESD 2 was found when investigating questions of responsibility; however, it seems that there is no firm foundation for ESD 2 to build on. Even though related gaps can possibly be linked back to the curriculum, it was ascertained that parts of the curriculum would allow for these gaps to be filled, which could facilitate ESD 2 and therefore a fruitful teaching of GW.
An energy preserving finite difference scheme for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system

description: In this paper, we construct a semi-implicit finite difference method for the time dependent Poisson-Nernst-Planck system. Although the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system is a nonlinear system, the numerical method presented in this paper only needs to solve a linear system at each time step, which can be done very efficiently. The rigorous proof for the mass conservation and electric potential energy decay are shown. Moreover, mesh refinement analysis shows that the method is second order convergent in space and first order convergent in time. Finally we point out that our method can be easily extended to the case of multi-ions.
