description: The Sandage-Loeb (SL) test directly measures the expansion rate of the universe in the redshift range of $2\lesssim z\lesssim 5$ by detecting redshift drift in the spectra of Lyman-$α$ forest of distant quasars. We discuss the impact of the future SL test data on parameter estimation for the $Λ$CDM, the $w$CDM, and the $w_0w_a$CDM models. To avoid the potential inconsistency with other observational data, we take the best-fitting dark energy model constrained by the current observations as the fiducial model to produce 30 mock SL test data. The SL test data provide an important supplement to the other dark energy probes, since they are extremely helpful in breaking the existing parameter degeneracies. We show that the strong degeneracy between $Ω_m$ and $H_0$ in all the three dark energy models is well broken by the SL test. Compared to the current combined data of type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillation, cosmic microwave background, and Hubble constant, the 30-yr observation of SL test could improve the constraints on $Ω_m$ and $H_0$ by more than 60\% for all the three models. But the SL test can only moderately improve the constraint on the equation of state of dark energy. We show that a 30-yr observation of SL test could help improve the constraint on constant $w$ by about 25\%, and improve the constraints on $w_0$ and $w_a$ by about 20\% and 15\%, respectively. We also quantify the constraining power of the SL test in the future high-precision joint geometric constraints on dark energy. The mock future supernova and baryon acoustic oscillation data are simulated based on the space-based project JDEM. We find that the 30-yr observation of SL test would help improve the measurement precision of $Ω_m$, $H_0$, and $w_a$ by more than 70\%, 20\%, and 60\%, respectively, for the $w_0w_a$CDM model.

description: The time-dependent non-equilibrium dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) typically generates incoherent excitations out of the condensate due to the finite frequencies present in the time evolution. We present a detailed derivation of a general non-equilibrium Green's function technique which describes the coupled time evolution of an interacting BEC and its single-particle excitations in a trap, based on an expansion in terms of the exact eigenstates of the trap potential. We analyze the dynamics of a Bose system in a small double-well potential with initially all particles in the condensate. When the trap frequency is larger than the Josephson frequency, $Δ> ω_J$, the dynamics changes at a characteristic time $τ_c$ abruptly from slow Josephson oscillations of the BEC to fast Rabi oscillations driven by quasiparticle excitations in the trap.

description: Let X be a normal affine T-variety of complexity at most one over a perfect field k, where T stands for the split algebraic torus. Our main result is a classification of additive group actions on X that are normalized by the T-action. This generalizes the classification given by the second author in the particular case where k is algebraically closed and of characteristic zero. With the assumption that the characteristic of k is positive, we introduce the notion of rationally homogeneous locally finite iterative higher derivations which corresponds geometrically to additive group actions on affine T-varieties normalized up to a Frobenius map. As a preliminary result, we provide a complete description of these additive group actions in the toric situation.

description: We demonstrate that Neganov-Luke amplified cryogenic light detectors with Transition Edge Sensor read-out can be applied for the background suppression in cryogenic experiments searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{130}\text{Te}$ with TeO$_{2}$ based bolometers. Electron and gamma induced events can be discriminated from $α$ events by detecting the Cherenkov light produced by the $β$ particles emitted in the decay. We use the Cherenkov light produced by events in the full energy peak of $^{208}\text{Tl}$ and by events from a $^{147}\text{Sm}$ source to show that at the Q-value of the neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{130}\text{Te}$ ($Q_{ββ} = 2.53 \,\text{MeV}$), a separation of $e^{-}/γ$ events from $α$ events can be achieved on an event-by-event basis with practically no reduction in signal acceptance.

title: Erinnerungsmedium Minecraft?

Year: 2021

description: Vor dem Hintergrund der fortwährenden Digitalisierung rückt im Zeitalter der letzten Zeitzeug*innen vermehrt die Frage nach dem adäquaten Umgang mit der Shoah ins Zentrum der Diskussion. Neben neuartigen medialen Formen, wie der Virtuellen Realität oder Hologrammen, ist es auch der Umgang mit der Shoah in den digitalen Spielwelten, welcher vermehrt in den wissenschaftlichen Blickpunkt genommen wird. Diese Masterarbeit lehnt sich dieser Thematik an und versucht dabei erstmalig das mögliche Potential des Digitalen Spiels MINECRAFT als Erinnerungsmedium zu ergründen. Durch dieses werden die Spielenden dank spezifischen Gameplay, welches eine Rekonstruktion von und Beschäftigung mit (historischen) Gebäuden und Orten ermöglicht, zu eigenen Historiograph*innen, während sie als Vorlage auf das topographische nationalsozialistische Erbe zurückgreifen und auf Onlinespielforen zur Verfügung stellen. So auch die Ikone des Holocaust, das Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau, das als sogenannter User-Generated-Content dort anzutreffen ist und dessen dreidimensionale Darstellung und Inszenierung sowie dessen Aushandlungsprozesse im begleitenden Onlinespielforum betrachtet werden. Während MINECRAFT qualitativ mit einer Computerspielanalyse nach Danny Kringel aus dem Blickwinkel der Game Studies untersucht wird, ist es eine adaptierte Webformatanalyse aus der Kommunikationswissenschaft von Martina Schuegraf und Anna Janssen, die zur empirischen Untersuchung für dieses Phänomen gewählt wurde. Neben der Beantwortung der Leitfrage, ob MINECRAFT unter diesen Umständen als adäquates Erinnerungsmedium fungieren kann und ob der von den User*innen mittels MINECRAFT erstellte virtuelle Auschwitz-Birkenau-Nachbau der Funktionen eines Geschichtsortes nachkommt, gibt diese Arbeit viele Einblicke darüber, wie die Erinnerung an die Shoah remedial in der Digitalen Sphäre stattfinden kann.
Politica e spettacolo a Firenze: la festa cavalleresca al tempo degli Albizzi (1382-1434)

description: The study of the theatre in Florence between the XIV and XV century highlights the picture of a society in which the spectacle was one of the languages developed and imposed by the élites in power to say, at the family level and the consortium, their preeminence and political and cultural hegemony. If, however, commissions and plots among families and clans were promptly taken into examination for the Medici period, little has been done for the previous political season. This paper aims to bridge this gap by showing, through a careful analysis of the sources – some of which unexplored from this point of view –, that in the exact period between 1382 and 1434 was developed the first lexicon of a policy of the spectacle focused on the staging of chivalry. As a matter of fact, during the Albizzi period, spectacular promotions, alongside other forms of sponsorship, played an important role in supporting the building of political consensus not meant as a general relationship between theatre and power, but as an accurate study of the related mechanisms. For more than three decades, ceremonies and chivalric staging were a reflection on stage of the public relationship patterned among families, especially Albizzi, who ruled the city of Florence after the Ciompi riots.

description: It is logically possible that regularly evaporating black holes exist in nature. In fact, the prevalent theoretical view is that these are indeed the real objects behind the curtain in astrophysical scenarios. There are several proposals for regularizing the classical singularity of black holes so that their formation and evaporation do not lead to information-loss problems. One characteristic is shared by most of these proposals: these regularly evaporating black holes present long-lived trapping horizons, with absolutely enormous evaporation lifetimes in whatever measure. Guided by the discomfort with these enormous and thus inaccessible lifetimes, we elaborate here on an alternative regularization of the classical singularity, previously proposed by the authors in an emergent gravity framework, which leads to a completely different scenario. In our scheme the collapse of a stellar object would result in a genuine time-symmetric bounce, which in geometrical terms amounts to the connection of a black-hole geometry with a white-hole geometry in a regular manner. The two most differential characteristics of this proposal are: i) the complete bouncing geometry is a solution of standard classical general relativity everywhere except in a transient region that necessarily extends beyond the gravitational radius associated with the total mass of the collapsing object; and ii) the duration of the bounce as seen by external observers is very brief (fractions of milliseconds for neutron-star-like collapses). This scenario motivates the search for new forms of stellar equilibrium different from black holes. In a brief epilogue we compare our proposal with a similar geometrical setting recently proposed by Haggard and Rovelli.

title: Die Profilanalyse in der Sprachstandsfeststellung
Creators: name: Lasselsberger, Oliver
Year: 2021

description: Im Kontext des Sprachunterrichts kann die Sprachstandsfeststellung eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entscheidung über geeignete Unterrichtsinhalte spielen. Die im ZISA-Projekt von Clahsen, Meisel und Pienemann (1983) festgestellten, hierarchischen Erwerbssequenzen wurden von Clahsen (1985) genutzt, um einen Sprachprofilbogen für die Analyse von Lerner*innensprachen und eine Einstufung im Rahmen jener Erwerbssequenzen zu entwickeln. Dieses Konzept wurde von Grießhaber (2005) in einem vereinfachten Profilbogen durch eine Komplexitätsreduktion für den Einsatz im Schulkontext angepasst. In dieser Arbeit wurden mehrere Ansätze auf ihr Potenzial geprüft, in Fällen, bei denen mit Grießhabers vereinfachtem Profilbogen über einen längeren Zeitraum ein nicht steigendes Sprachniveau ermittelt wurde, Informationen über Entwicklungen der Lerner*innensprachen zu gewinnen. Die Grundlage der Untersuchung bildeten Texte von italophonen Deutschlernenden, die in einer Longitudinalstudie von Ballestracci (2005) erhoben wurden. Es wurden Texte ausgewählt, die im Zeitraum von November 2002 bis Mai 2003 von vier Student*innen verfasst wurden. Clahsens komplexerer Profilbogen wurde in Grießhabers Profilanalysekonzept eingepasst und für einen Vergleich der Erwerbsstufenverläufe herangezogen. Auch die Verteilung produzierter Sprachstrukturen auf die Erwerbsstufen und die Beobachtung von Veränderungen im Spektrum der eingesetzten syntaktischen Strukturen wurden auf ihre Eignung zur Sichtung von Entwicklungen untersucht. In manchen Fällen konnte mit den umfangreicheren Kategorien auf Clahsens Profilbogen eine Steigerung der Erwerbsstufe ermittelt werden, wenn dies bei Grießhabers Version nicht der Fall war, diese Ergebnisse sind aber mit Rücksicht auf Rahmenbedingungen und Einschränkungen zu sehen, die in der Arbeit thematisiert werden. Eine prozentuale Verteilung allein hat sich nicht als ein geeignetes Instrument zur Feststellung von Lerner*innensprachlichen Entwicklungen erwiesen. Im Lauf der Zeit stattfindende Veränderungen der genutzten Sprachstrukturen zu beobachten, hat hingegen Perspektiven aufgezeigt, die zwar nicht für eine unkomplizierte Sprachstandsfeststellung geeignet scheinen, aber einen detaillierten Einblick erlauben. Einschätzungen über Anwendungspotenziale und mögliche Forschungsperspektiven werden am Ende der Arbeit diskutiert.

description: For a Riemannian metric $g$ on the two-sphere, let $\ell_{\min}(g)$ be the length of the shortest closed geodesic and $\ell_{\max}(g)$ be the length of the longest simple closed geodesic. We prove that if the curvature of $g$ is positive and sufficiently pinched, then the sharp systolic inequalities \[ \ell_{\rm min}(g)^2 \leq π\ {\rm Area}(S^2,g) \leq \ell_{\max}(g)^2, \] hold, and each of these two inequalities is an equality if and only if the metric $g$ is Zoll. The first inequality answers positively a conjecture of Babenko and Balacheff. The proof combines arguments from Riemannian and symplectic geometry.

Development and validation of a commercial dsRNA (J2 based) ELISA for the quantification of double-stranded RNA in biological preparations
Creators: name: Krisha, Jain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: mRNA vaccines have quickly gained ground after both BioNTech and Pfizer gained Emergency Use Approvals for their mRNA based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. The development of a successful mRNA vaccine requires both stability and purity. After in vitro transcription, purification processes must be performed for removal of DNA template as well as contaminants like the highly immune stimulatory double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which can induce fatal immune responses. dsRNA is typically removed using HPLC methods, though ELISA is used to measure the presence and therefore additional purification requirements for a successful vaccine. Currently, only one ELISA for estimation of dsRNA is commercially available - a qualitative assay in a reagents-box format, that requires the scientist to coat, optimize and validate their own assay for estimation of dsRNA. This allows for human error and variability in detection. Additionally, since the ELISA available are qualitative, the scientist is required to potentially run the same sample through purification multiple times until a satisfactorily purified sample is received with guess estimates and no benchmarks on impurity levels. The objective was to develop a new, sensitive, easy to use and pre-validated sandwich assay for measurement of dsRNA, using J2 antibodies, the gold standard in the industry for detection of dsRNA contaminants. This would ensure standardization of results, and a quantitative result would allow scientists to have a better understanding of the purity of their sample, and therefore the efficiency of their purification method

description: We give next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) predictions for the Higgs production cross section at large transverse momentum in the threshold limit. Near the partonic threshold, all radiation is either soft or collinear to the final state jet which recoils against the Higgs boson. We find that the real emission corrections are of moderate size, but that the virtual corrections are large. We discuss the origin of these corrections and give numerical predictions for the transverse-momentum spectrum. The threshold result is matched to the known NLO result and implemented in the public code PeTeR.

Development and validation of a novel ELISA for accurate and precise pharmacokinetic analysis of bispecific antibody drug Faricimab
Creators: name: Krisha, Jain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Faricimab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody drug, targets both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2). It is indicated for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema via stabilization of blood vessels in the retina. By blocking the action of these two growth factors, Faricimab decreases migration and replication of endothelial cells allowing for stabilization of vascular structures, thereby decreasing vascular leakage. It holds immense potential for therapeutic applications and additional treatments, however, precise pharmacokinetic analysis is crucial for understanding its behaviour in vivo. Characterizing the ability of bispecific antibody drugs to bind to both targets simultaneously is critical for development of biotherapeutics. Compared to SPR, which is complex to set up and is not widely used, and cell-based flow cytometry, that lacks precision in complex matrices, ELISA is readily available method, being widely and extensively applied in almost every laboratory, and can be easily optimized to offer accuracy and precision in complex matrices. In this study, we developed an immunoassay for accurate and sensitive quantification of Faricimab concentrations in biological samples. The immunoassay employs a combination of monoclonal antibodies, specifically designed for selective recognition of Faricimab's antigen-binding sites. We validated the assay's specificity, precision, accuracy, and linearity with extensive analytical characterization and comparison to standard methods. Our results demonstrate excellent performance, with an assay range of 0-10 ng/ml and low limits of detection (0.2 ng/ml) and quantification (0.3 ng/ml). The unique immunoassay presented in this study offers a valuable tool for PK analysis of Faricimab, facilitating clinical development and optimization, and enabling a deeper understanding of bispecific antibody drugs' pharmacokinetic properties and additional therapeutic possibilities.

We give a classification of anti-commutative $m$-dimensional $(m-3)$-ary algebras with an invariant form, and a classification of real simple $m$-dimensional Lie $(m-3)$-algebras with a positive definite invariant form up to isometry. Furthermore, we develop the Hodge Theory for $L_{\infty}$-algebras with a symmetric invariant form, and we describe quasi-Frobenius structures on skew-symmetric $n$-ary algebras.

description: Do nativists differ from other citizens in their attitudes towards democracy? In this article it is demonstrated that nativism goes hand in hand with preferences for a type of democracy where the interests of the natives should prevail, even at the cost of diminished minority rights, checks and balances, and other constraints on executive power. Liberal representative democracy is not for nativists. It is also shown that nativists seem to believe that the end justifies the means when it comes to different forms of decision making, and that this opportunistic trait usually translates into support for more direct democracy and scepticism towards representative democracy, because nativists tend to believe that they are in the majority (even if they are not). This article concludes that this tendency may in fact be a blessing of sorts, as it keeps nativists from supporting alternatives to democracy.

description: Despite the continued electoral progress of the radical right, there are reasons to believe that its full electoral potential has yet to be revealed. Previous research suggests that it suffers from a stigmatisation effect and that many voters will find its proposals less compelling compared to if they were presented by a mainstream party even for policy issues they agree upon. This study employs a unique survey design, with two experiments conducted seven years apart, on a panel of Swedish voters. The aim is to evaluate whether proposals are assessed differently dependent on who the sender is and whether the effect diminishes as the cordon sanitaire of the party weakens. The results show that proposals are less liked if the sender is the radical right. This effect persists even after a weakening of the ostracisation of the radical right as well as for different types of political issues.

title: Sozialstrukturelle Wandlungsprozesse von einer Wohlstandsgesellschaft in eine reflexive/regressive Moderne - Risikogesellschaft
Creators: name: Simet, Josef
Year: 2021

description: Abstract Die Arbeit setzt sich mit dem Lebensraum von Menschen, im Besonderen der Arbeitnehmerschaft in der Moderne auseinander. Es wird kurz auf die Historie und auf die einzelnen Entwicklungsstufen der Moderne eingegangen. Eine theoretische Einführung in die Sozialstrukturanalyse soll den Unterbau für das Verständnis der Moderne schaffen. Nach den Wirren des 2. Weltkrieges entwickelte sich im mitteleuropäischen Raum eine Zeit, die als „Wohlstandsgesellschaft“ umschrieben wird. Es ist ein Zeitraum, der ab Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts mit Unterbrechung von mehreren Kriegen, aber auch revolutionären technischen Erfindungen gekennzeichnet ist. Diese Zeit brachte den Menschen Prosperität und eine Zeit noch nie dagewesener persönlicher Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten. Mit Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts und dem beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert beginnt der Wohlstand zu schwächeln. Umweltschäden werden nicht nur lokal, sondern auch global in Kauf genommen. Das Sozialsystem wird übergebührlich auf Kosten künftiger Generationen in Anspruch genommen. Eine Gegenreaktion entwickelt sich, die auf die negative Entwicklung reagiert. Beck (1986) gab dieser Zeit den Namen „Risikogesellschaft“. Es ist die Zeit der reflexiven, regressiven Gesellschaftsformen, die bestimmt wird durch Risken, die nicht nur lokale, sondern globale Auswirkungen zeigten. Die Folge war, dass sich die Risikogesellschaft zu einer „Abstiegsgesellschaft“ wandelte, wobei diese aber nicht nur auf negativen sozialen Folgen beruht, sondern auch zu demokratischem Widerstand anregte. Die Arbeit stützt sich auf ein systematisch aufgebautes Literaturstudium, vor allem auf theoretische Arbeiten soziologischer Vordenker, die entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Erkenntnisse der Zeit der Moderne genommen haben. Eingebunden in die Arbeit wurde auch die SINUS-Milieumethode.

description: Political participation has increasingly taken unconventional forms in advanced democracies. At the same time, the traditional party systems of Europe have been upended by the recent emergence of successful niche parties. While some studies have examined partisanship and protest in tandem, the literature lacks a theoretical framework that ties niche voters to political protest. This article argues that niche voters are more likely to protest than mainstream voters, especially when the politics of governing coalitions results in niche parties being unable to represent their voters. Specifically, niche voters are more likely to protest when their party joins a coalition with a PM who is ideologically distant from the niche party’s position. Using all nine waves of the European Social Survey in Western Europe, the findings broadly support this argument. These findings have important implications for understanding conditions under which people engage in political protest, especially voters of niche parties.

Recent experimental data on quantum capacitance and renormalized Fermi velocity are analyzed and compared with the theory. The bare Fermi velocity and the effective dielectric constants are obtained from the experimental data. A combined effect of Coulomb interactions and Gaussian fluctuations of disorder potential is considered.

description: Direct-democratic instruments are often seen as a cure for the current disenchantment with representative democracy. While research has begun to investigate whether direct-democratic instruments match the procedural preferences of populist citizens, it is an under-researched question whether populist citizens and populist voters would actually participate in direct-democratic voting. This study advances existing research by focussing both on direct-democratic preferences and effective direct-democratic participation of different types of populist citizens in Germany—populist voters on the right and left and citizens with general populist attitudes. Analyses based on survey data from 2018 show that while populist citizens and right-wing populist voters display strong attitudinal sympathy for direct-democratic instruments, especially right-wing populist voters fail effectively to participate in direct-democratic voting. Those who strongly participate in direct-democratic procedures are sophisticated and postmaterialist citizens whose preferences hardly align with those of right-wing populist voters and citizens, widening rather than closing the ‘representation gap’.

description: We investigate the late-time asymptotics of future expanding, polarized vacuum Einstein spacetimes with T2-symmetry on T3, which, by definition, admit two spacelike Killing fields. Our main result is the existence of a stable asymptotic regime within this class, that is, we provide here a full description of the late-time asymptotics of the solutions to the Einstein equations when the initial data set is close to the asymptotic regime. Our proof is based on several energy functionals with lower order corrections (as is standard for such problems) and the derivation of a simplified model which we exhibit here. Roughly speaking, the Einstein equations in the symmetry class under consideration consists of a system of wave equations coupled to constraint equations plus a system of ordinary differential equations. The unknowns involved in the system of ordinary equations are blowing up in the future timelike directions. One of our main contributions is the derivation of novel effective equations for suitably renormalized unknowns. Interestingly, this renormalization is not performed with respect to a fixed background, but does involve the energy of the coupled system of wave equations. In addition, we construct an open set of initial data which are arbitrarily close to the expected asymptotic behavior. We emphasize that, in comparison, the class of Gowdy spacetimes exhibits a very different dynamical behavior to the one we uncover in the present work for general polarized T2-symmetric spacetimes. Furthermore, all the conclusions of this paper are valid within the framework of weakly T2-symmetric spacetimes previously introduced by the authors.

description: This paper draws out key conclusions from a research project – a pilotempirical study on local complementary currencies (exchangesystems). The study comprised 15 interviews with coordinatorsrepresenting 13 existing alternative currency systems in Poland out of20 identified. The research was conducted between February and April2017. The main goal of the study was empirical determination of thefactors involved in the rise and fall of alternative currenciessystems in Poland and conditions for their survival – that is,sustainability factors. The author demonstrated that, among examinedsystem, two are performing better than the others, and they meet theefficiency conditions: they have a relatively high and stable orgrowing number of active members and exchanges, and they areconstantly developed without reporting any substantialproblems. Despite many differences, they have much in common. Theanalysis of the two examples in comparison with other systems enabledforming a list of sustainability factors and suggestions for thecoordinators or initiators concerning how and what to do and what toavoid to make the system more sustainable.
The muon system of the Daya Bay Reactor antineutrino experiment
Creators: name: Daya Bay Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Daya Bay experiment consists of functionally identical antineutrino detectors immersed in pools of ultrapure water in three well-separated underground experimental halls near two nuclear reactor complexes. These pools serve both as shields against natural, low-energy radiation, and as water Cherenkov detectors that efficiently detect cosmic muons using arrays of photomultiplier tubes. Each pool is covered by a plane of resistive plate chambers as an additional means of detecting muons. Design, construction, operation, and performance of these muon detectors are described.

On the Universal Scheme of $r$-relative clusters of a family

description: We generalize the concept of $r$-point clusters of a scheme $S$ to $r$-relative clusters of a $B$-scheme $\mathcal{S}$. Define schemes $Cl_r$ that naturally parametrize the $r$-relative clusters which generalize the Kleiman's construction of the iterated blowups by $r$-point clusters. We show that the iterated construction of $Cl_{r+1}$ from $Cl_{r}$ is something more than just to do a blow up of $Cl_r\times_{Cl_{r-1}} Cl_r$ at the diagonal. We show a few simple examples illustrating the situations that may occur.

Political participation profiles

description: The literature on the participation paradox, stealth democracy, political transformation and populism implicitly refers to the existence of different participation profiles, but its empirical evidence focuses on separate actions. While several studies have examined the existence of distinct combinations of actions, such participation profiles have rarely been placed within a theoretical framework or connected to the motivations and resources that shape participation. In this article these connections are given a theoretical basis and empirically tested via latent class analysis of a unique set of 12 different political activities. After establishing the participation profiles, it is assessed how political motivations (e.g. interest, efficacy) and resources (time and skills) explain profile membership by using fractional multinomial logistic regression models. Combining these two steps helps to reassess what levels of political participation actually imply for the functioning of our democracies. Crucially, the participation elite is small; faithful voters are numerous but not particularly engaged; and systemically dissatisfied citizens tend to disengage – only a few try to transform the system.

Black and White Metaphors in Multicultural Communication
Creators: name: Kigel, Tali
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The corpus of the Contrast Study of English, Russian, and Jewish Black and White Metaphors (BWT) consists of over 50 units based on BWT lists from our previous study of trilingual metaphors. The use of each metaphor is supported by a citation found through targeted Internet searches and verified against the Pragglejaz Group's metaphor identification procedure. The methodological basis of the work is the Berlin-Kay theory of basic color terms, the theory of conceptual metaphor, and the main provisions of cultural linguistics. As a result of careful observation of metaphors in three languages, conclusions were drawn about the motivation of food metaphors related to the color of the dish and raw materials, and the complex motivation of clothing metaphors. The paper traces the dynamics of economic metaphors such as a decrease in the use and absorption of broader metaphors, a change in meaning as a result of the competition of metaphors, and the influence of books. Various aspects of the meanings of the trilingual metaphor of black medicine, and their ascent to the meta-meanings of black as the color of evil and lawlessness were analyzed. The paper notes new metaphorical meanings that have arisen under the influence of fiction and scientific literature, films, music, and the Internet, as well as the transliteration of borrowed metaphors in foreign languages. This work can serve as a platform for an in-depth study of the ethnocultural aspects of trilingual color metaphors.
Binary Systems of core collapse supernova polluting a giant companion

description: We examine binary systems where the more massive star, the primary, explodes as a core collapse supernova (CCSN) the secondary star is already a giant that intercepts a large fraction of the ejecta. The ejecta might pollute the secondary star with newly synthesized elements such as calcium. We use Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) to calculate the evolution of such SN-polluted giant (SNPG) binaries. We estimate that on average at any given time tens of SNPGs are present in the Galaxy, and $\approx 10$ SNPG objects are present in the Magellanic Clouds. We speculate that the high calcium abundance of the recently discovered evolved star HV2112 in the Small Magellanic Cloud might be the result of an SNPG with a super AGB stellar secondary of a mass $\approx 9 M_\odot$. This rare SNPG scenario is an alternative explanation to HV2112 being a Thorne-{Ż}ytkow object (TZO).

description: Although populists in government have already frustrated the common interest projects, curbed the institutional progress, and questioned the fundamental values of the European Union, integration theories have so far failed to address the question: what explains populist governments’ actions within the EU? This article claims that existing accounts either downplay the relevance or fail to grasp the complexity of populist governments, because populism disputes the democratic models and state-societal relations projected by these theories. Merging the literature on populism and theories of European integration, it is argued that populism in government exerts a transformative impact on both the democratic institutions and the society within a member state, which could have important ramifications for future integration. Highlighting the anti-plural and anti-democratic nature of populism, and the emergence of a ‘constraining consensus’ between populist governments and ‘the people’, the article proposes a complementary approach in addressing the populist challenge for European integration.
