description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanomaterials presenting an occupational inhalation risk during production or handling. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified one CNT, Mitsui-7 (MWNT-7), as ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans’. In recognition of their similarities, a proposal has been submitted to the risk assessment committee of ECHA to classify all fibers with ‘Fibre Paradigm’ (FP)-compatible dimensions as carcinogenic. However, there is a lack of clarity surrounding the toxicity of fibers that do not fit the FP criteria. In this study, we compared the effects of the FP-compatible Mitsui-7, to those of NM-403, a CNT that is too short and thin to fit the paradigm. Female Sprague Dawley rats deficient for p53 (GMO) and wild type (WT) rats were exposed to the two CNTs (0.25 mg/rat/week) by intratracheal instillation. Animals (GMO and WT) were exposed weekly for four consecutive weeks and were sacrificed 3 days or 8 months after the last instillation. Exposure to both CNTs induced acute lung inflammation. However, persistent inflammation at 8 months was only observed in the lungs of rats exposed to NM-403. In addition to the persistent inflammation, NM-403 stimulated hyperplasic changes in rat lungs, and no adenomas or carcinomas were detected. The degree and extent of hyperplasia was significantly more pronounced in GMO rats. These results suggest that CNT not meeting the FP criteria can cause persistent inflammation and hyperplasia. Consequently, their health effects should be carefully assessed.

description: The dead cone effect has been expected to reduce the magnitude of energy loss and jet quenching for heavy flavors produced with large pT in heavy ion collisions. On the contrary, data from RHIC for open charm production demonstrate a flavor independent nuclear suppression. We show that vacuum radiation of a highly virtual quark produced at high pT with its color field stripped off, develops a much wider dead cone, which screens the one related to the quark mass. Lacking the field, gluons cannot be radiated within this cone until the color field is regenerated and the quark virtuality cools down to the scale of the order of the quark mass. However, this takes time longer than is essential for the observed jet quenching. This is the reason why the light and charm quark jets are quenched equally. Open beauty is expected to be suppressed much less within the pT range studied so far.

title: Challenges and opportunities for lithium extraction from geothermal systems in Germany

Year: 2023

description:
The growing lithium demand and the dependence on poorly diversified oversea sources point towards a high strategic importance of domestic resources. Furthermore, potentially lower CO2 emissions and reduced areal use during production favor local co-production of geothermal energy and lithium.

Based on a technology comparison for direct lithium extraction from geothermal fluids and the current state of geothermal energy production in Germany, different scenarios for the extractable amount of lithium carbonate were considered. In the most optimistic scenario, taking into account all currently active wells, a maximum production of 4700 t/a of lithium carbonate equivalent is expected. This could cover 2 – 13% of the annual demand of the planned German battery cell production.

Uncertainties in the resource assessment regarding its size, and the sustainability of its management, are still considerable. Yet a full-scale Li extraction from geothermal brines is missing and thus long-time behavior is not clear. For this purpose, a generical model, based on Upper Rhine Graben geothermal settings was developed, and a Li extraction over a 30-year operation time was simulated. Despite a significant Li depletion, a mean Li production of 231 t/a (1230 t/a LCE) is achieved, for a current state-of-the-art geothermal power plant.

This could significantly increase the economics of a geothermal power plant as well as, if transferred to several plants, a partly independency from global imports. The strongest influence on productivity is the achievable flow rate, which provides access to the raw material, highlighting the importance of good geological reservoir exploration and development.

description: Precise control and manipulation of optical fields on a nanoscale is one of the most important and challenging problems in "nanophotonics". Since optical wavelength is on a much larger microscale, it is impossible to employ conventional focusing for that purpose. We show the strong optically-induced interactions between discrete meta-molecules in a metamaterial system and coherent monochromatic continuous light beam with a spatially-tailored phase profile can be used to prepare a sub-wavelength scale energy localization. Well isolated energy hot-spots as small as $λ/10$ can be created and positioned at will on the metamaterial landscape offering new opportunities for data storage and imaging applications.

description: For a driven elastic object near depinning, we derive from first principles the distribution of instantaneous velocities in an avalanche. We prove that above the upper critical dimension, d >= d_uc, the n-times distribution of the center-of-mass velocity is equivalent to the prediction from the ABBM stochastic equation. Our method allows to compute space and time dependence from an instanton equation. We extend the calculation beyond mean field, to lowest order in epsilon=d_uc-d.

Das Geologische Landesamt Hamburg wird in diesem Jahr 75 Jahre alt. Die Tätigkeiten der Vorläuferinstitutionen reichen über 100 Jahre zurück. Die heutige Kernaufgabe des GLAHH ist nach GeolDG die Sammlung, Digitalisierung, Interpretation und Veröffentlichung von geowissenschaftlichen Daten. Inzwischen sind ca. 315.000 Bohrungen bis in eine Tiefe von mehr als 3.000 m digital erfasst und zum Großteil veröffentlicht. Das Bohrdatenportal des GLA-HH bietet zusätzlich zahlreiche Kartendarstellungen zu geologischen, geothermischen und hydrogeologischen Themenbereichen, z.B. die Geologische Karte 1:5.000, Präquartär-Karten, ca. 65 Profilschnitte bis in ca. 400 m Tiefe, Wärmleitfähigkeit und Temperaturen für verschiedene Teufenbereiche und hydrogeologische Profiltypen. Ein wichtiger, und von Dritten intensiv angefragter Arbeitsbereich des GLAHH ist die 3D-Modellierung. Während das tiefe 3D-Strukturmodell gemeinsam von den norddeutschen Ländern entwickelt wurde, wird in Hamburg ein „mitteltiefes Modell“ mit Schwerpunkt auf den wasserwirtschaftlich genutzten Bereichen von Quartären und Neogenen Einheiten bis in ca. 400 m Teufe dargestellt. Das dritte Hamburger Modell stellt das Quartär dar, differenziert in Grundwasserleiter und -nichtleiter, wobei bei letzteren Tills und Beckenablagerungen unterschieden werden. Auf Grundlage der gewonnen Erkenntnisse aus Landesaufnahme und der 3D-Strukturmodellierung werden auch wasserwirtschaftliche Grundwasserströmungsmodelle aufgebaut, um aktuelle Fragen der Trinkwasserversorgung im Ballungsraum Hamburg zu beantworten. Zukunftsthemen, wie eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Wärmewende mithilfe der oberflächennahen, mitteltiefen und tiefen Geothermie nehmen einen immer größer werdenden Raum ein und werden von den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie von Unternehmen in Hamburg stark nachgefragt. Die Arbeiten zu Geogefahren umfassen die Themenbereiche Verkarstung (Erdfallbildung; Mikroseismik), Massenverlagerungen (Rutschungen am Elbhang) und Bauwerksschäden durch wasserempfindliche Böden (u.a. Sackungen über austrocknendem Lauenburger Ton).
Spectral density of the Hermitean Wilson Dirac operator: a NLO computation in chiral perturbation theory

description: We compute the lattice spacing corrections to the spectral density of the Hermitean Wilson Dirac operator using Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory at NLO. We consider a regime where the quark mass $m$ and the lattice spacing $a$ obey the relative power counting $m\sim a Λ_{\rm QCD}^2$: in this situation discretisation effects can be treated as perturbation of the continuum behaviour. While this framework fails to describe lattice spectral density close to the threshold, it allows nevertheless to investigate important properties of the spectrum of the Wilson Dirac operator. We discuss the range of validity of our results and the possible implications in understanding the phase diagram of Wilson fermions.

description:
Characterizing the interior structure of exoplanets is an essential part in understanding the diversity of observed exoplanets, their formation processes and their evolution. As the interior of an exoplanet is inaccessible to observations, an inverse problem must be solved, where numerical structure models need to conform to observed parameters such as mass and radius. Since the relative proportions of iron, silicates, water ice, and volatile elements are not known, this is a highly degenerate problem whose solution often relies on computationally-expensive and time-consuming inference methods such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo.

We present here ExoMDN, a new machine-learning-based approach to the interior characterization of observed exoplanets using Mixture Density Networks that improves upon our previous work (Baumeister et al., ApJ, 2020). This improved model, trained on a large database of 5.6 million synthetic interior structures, can make a complete probabilistic inference about possible planetary interior structures within a fraction of a second, without the need for extensive modeling of each exoplanet's interior. We can demonstrate how the model, trained on different sets of (potentially) observable parameters including the received irradiation at the planet’s orbit and the fluid Love number, can help to further constrain the interior of a large number of exoplanets. In particular, we can show how precisely these parameters need to be measured to well constrain the interior.

description: This study aims to investigate the relationship between brands and social media platforms, focusing on the effects of platform use on brand-platform congruence drawn from the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) theory. Employing a 2 × 2 between-subject online experiment (N = 254), the study examined the interaction effects between the brand gratifications (instrumental vs. ritualistic) and social media usage (instrumental vs. ritualistic) on consumer responses, including ad clicking, brand attitude, and purchase intention in social media advertising. Additionally, this research examined the intrusiveness of ads as a moderator of the relationship between brand-platform congruence and consumer responses. Findings revealed that congruence between brands and social media platforms significantly influenced consumer responses. Furthermore, user gratification in ritualistic uses of social media platforms also played a crucial role in predicting these outcomes. The intrusiveness of ads was found to moderate the effects of congruence on brand attitude. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
Engineering Chinese Hamster Ovary cell recombinant protein glycosylation
Creators: name: Gupta, Shivani
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Since 2015 more than 39 biosimilars have been approved by the FDA, with over 20 launched, providing alternatives for widely used protein therapeutics. A major challenge in biosimilar development is the genetic differences in the host cell lines used to manufacture these biologics. Many biologics approved before 2011 were expressed in murine cell lines, whereas Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells have become the preferred hosts for production. Differences between glycosylation have been identified in biologics produced using murine CHO cell line. In the case of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), differences in glycans can significantly impact critical antibody effector function, binding activity, efficacy, and in vivo half-life. To more closely match the reference biologic (RB) glycosylation, a mAb expressing CHO cell line was genetically engineered to express mAb with murine-like glycans. This was done by selectively co-expressing two key murine enzymes, α1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) and cytidine monophosphate-N-Acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH). These CHO cells were then analyzed using a spectrum of analytical methods to demonstrate biosimilarity, including high-resolution mass spectrometry and biochemical and cell-based assays. In fed-batch cultures, two CHO cell clones were identified that maintained stable production while matching the glycosylation profile and function of the reference product. This study demonstrates the feasibility of engineering CHO cells to express mAbs with murine glycans, to reduce the residual uncertainty regarding biosimilarity, resulting in a higher probability of regulatory approval and potentially reduced costs and time in development. In parallel, a high-throughput CHO-specific assay was designed and evaluated to quantify N-glycosylation-related enzyme mRNA expression levels. This assay is referred to as the N-glycan enzyme mRNA expression profiler. Two different mAbs produced by two CHO cell hosts were investigated to assess the relationships between glycan mRNA levels and mAb glycan profiles. Genetic understanding of the N-glycosylation pathway in the CHO cells helped identify gene expression patterns that correlated to the N-glycan profile of the produced mAb. The results indicated that this assay could identify clones with desirable genetic makeups early in cell line development and aid in designing cell line engineering strategies to obtain the desired glycan profiles for both novel biologic and biosimilar development.

description: The charged fermion mass matrices are invariant under $U(1)^3$ symmetry linked to the fermion number transformation. Under the condition that the definition of this symmetry in arbitrary weak basis does not depend upon Higgs parameters such as ratio of vacuum expectation values, a class of two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) can be identified in which tree level flavor changing neutral currents normally present in 2HDM are absent. However unlike the type I or type II Higgs doublet models, the charged Higgs couplings in these models contain additional flavor dependent CP violating phases. These phases can account for the recent hints of the beyond standard model CP violation in the $B_d$ and $B_s$ mixing. In particular, there is a range of parameters in which new phases do not contribute to the $K$ meson CP violation but give identical new physics phases in the $B_d$ and $B_s$ meson mixing.

description:
The Museum Mineralogia München is the public part of the Mineralogische Staatssammlung München (MSM). The aim of the MSM is to provide knowledge transfer in natural science subjects, i.e. especially in the field of geosciences. The MSM has been trying to fulfill this task for over 16 years and has thus also gained a great deal of experience in the teaching-learning field. Since the geosciences are unfortunately not a school subject, but geoscientific topics are becoming more and more relevant for socio-political concerns, it is important to sensitize and inspire children and young people for the geosciences at an early age.
We offer a variety of activities: (1) volcanism, (2) the cycle of rocks, (3) meteorites, (4) the construction of a smartphone. In addition, special exhibitions on various geoscientific topics are included in the projects. In addition, there is a network with other science laboratories for schoolchildren both in Munich (Muc-Labs) and throughout Germany (LeLa). Participation, for example, in Girls' Day, Science Days (Forscha) or the Children's Culture Summer, as well as projects with other museums also strengthen the reach. In addition to national projects, international work (e.g. with Austria, Italy, Norway) is also carried out. As a further concept, internships are also offered to school students. In addition, the Mineralogische Staatssammlung München has successfully participated in two funded programs on ease-Corona (BMBF - catching up after Corona). In particular, children and adolescents with Corona- and Lock down-induced learning deficits should be supported.

description: Poster produced for the C*Sci 2023 conference. AutSPACEs stands for Autism research into Sensory Processing for Accessible Community Environments. Together with a team of neurodiverse co-researchers and open-source developers, we are using participatory research to co-create an open source, citizen science platform. 9/10 autistic people experience sensory processing differences compared to non-autistic people, for instance they may find lights brighter, sounds louder, or busy spaces more overwhelming. This can lead to everyday spaces such as school, hospitals, public transport and offices being sub-optimal, uncomfortable, or totally inaccessible to many autistic people. When it is launched, AutSPACEs will be used to collect together rich, qualitative data on how sensory processing differences impact autistic peopleʼs daily lives, so that we can find solutions to make spaces more accessible. AutSPACEs uses a combined methodology: participatory research to work in depth with a community of autistic collaborators; citizen science to collect lived experiences at scale, and open source development to ensure our pipeline is transparent, reproducible and can be adapted and reused by others. Within each phase of the research, we have used an iterative work cycle which centers autistic people. We share an overview of AutSPACEs: our community, methods, a case study, personal accounts from citizen scientists, and next steps.
title: The Cretaceous Period in 2023 - progress and challenges
Creators: name: Gale, Andrew Scott
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2023

description:
Over the past 30 years, our knowledge of Cretaceous stratigraphy and timescale has expanded exponentially. This has been based partly on the greater refinement of biostratigraphy, including the utilisation of groups of fossils previously poorly known or ignored (microcrinoids, inoceramid bivalves, diverse microfossil groups) and also the development of geochemical and geophysical stratigraphies, most notably stable carbon isotope- and magnetostratigraphy. These two methodologies have enabled previously impossible correlations to be made, independent of facies and sometimes in the absence of biostratigraphical evidence. The identification of orbital cycles in Cretaceous sediments, integrated with new radiometric dates, now provides a high-resolution timescale for intervals of the Cretaceous. Work continues apace to extend and refine the timescale and integrate this with new stratigraphical data. Additionally, data generated primarily for the purpose of correlation, such as stable carbon isotope curves, provide direct evidence of the Cretaceous carbon cycle and allow a better understanding of palaeoenvironmental changes.

description:
The formation of oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is one of the dominant processes in the chemical differentiation of our planet. Oceanic crust formed at fast-spreading ridges exhibits a relatively uniform seismic stratigraphy and is regarded as layered and relatively homogeneous. Because of the lack of in-situ exposures at the base of recent oceanic crust, existing models on the geodynamics of the deep processes during crustal accretion have never been tested directly using natural samples. The ICDP Oman Drilling Project penetrated at two sites the crust/mantle boundary in the Oman ophiolite, the best analogue for fast-spreading crust on land (drill cores CM1, CM2). We started a study investigating a continuing and densely spatial resolved sample set of both drill cores in order to shed light on the nature of this poorly understood zone at the base of the Oman paleocrust. The drill cores CM1 and CM2 cover the upper mantle harzburgites at the bottom, followed by a 90 m thick massive dunite layer with layered gabbros on top. Ni and Mg# in olivine as well as Cr#, Mg# and trace elements in chrome spinel were analyzed by EPMA and fs-LA-ICP-MS. The data reveals a homogeneous harzburgitic upper mantle composition and a dunite section showing decreasing Mg#, implying an increase in differentiation towards the top. We conclude that the zone of massive dunite was formed as a first cumulative crystallization event of a mantle-derived, primitive MORB melt, while the residual melt was fed into the stockwork system of the layered gabbros.

description: Shared mobility, such as car-sharing, bike-sharing, and scooter-sharing services, is quickly expanding in several countries, including Italy, where it was introduced a few years ago. The benefits of this type of transportation mode have been estimated and reported by many authors. However, since a shared mobility system is a type of transportation that combines the characteristics of private vehicles and transit services, policy-makers may not know how to treat it well. Moreover, although many policies have been proposed to promote shared mobility, they still have little impact in terms of aggregated market shares in urban areas. It may be because the actual requirements of the passengers regarding shared transportation services characteristics are not well understood. Hence, it is important to understand what needs to be improved in shared mobility services.

description:
The Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo volcanic field, in the Aegean Sea, has hosted more than 200 explosive eruptions in the past 360,000 years, including the 1650 eruption of Kolumbo Volcano. In this contribution, we use the first 3D seismic reflection data collected over the submarine Kolumbo Volcano to explore active faulting and its relationship to volcanism. The 3D data enable us to extract useful fault attributes (strike, dip, dip direction) which can be used to decipher local stress fields. Our results reveal clear NW-SE directed extension around the volcano, consistent with published focal mechanisms from microseismicity. The data also provide exceptional 3D imaging of the Kolumbo Fault Zone, which lies ~6 km northwest of Kolumbo Volcano. Interpreted horizons through the Kolumbo Fault Zone reveal distinct relay ramps between overstepping normal faults. We suggest that magma ascent within the fault zone likely exploits enhanced vertical permeability associated with distributed deformation within relay ramps. Further research is required to understand the range of scales over which relay ramps could affect crustal permeability, and by inference magma ascent, in the greater rift zone.
Design, characterisation and application of structural and multifunctional composites to large ship structures
Creators: name: Lee, Chanhui
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Composite materials have been widely used in the aerospace, automotive and ship (particularly naval military vessels) industries, primarily due to their outstanding specific strength and stiffness. Over the last few decades, a large amount of research has been carried out to improve their performance further by introducing other functionalities such as noise and vibration control, self-repair, thermal insulation and energy harvesting/storage. Although more than half-century has passed since the boatbuilding sectors accepted the use of composite materials, it is still difficult to find a significant application of composite materials in the large cargo shipbuilding sectors. However, recent guidance from international regulations for environment protection strongly demands lightweight and eco-friendly cargo ships to achieve considerable reductions in fuel consumption and toxic gas emissions. Based on the considerable structural, environmental and economical benefits achievable from the adoption of structural and multifunctional composites, the aim of the research presented in this PhD thesis is, therefore, to design, characterise and implement structural and multifunctional composites in cargo ship structures which are currently made of steel. Firstly, a patch-wise layup and damping treatment method has been proposed to improve the vibration performance of composite ship structures. The determined design reduced the vibration response level by over 50% compared to that of a benchmarked quasi-isotropic (QI) design. The patch-wise design approach provided a unique opportunity to conceptualise composite wave-breaker with a considerable reduction in vibration response level, mass savings and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional designs. Multifunctional composites offer the opportunity to take traditional composites beyond the typical structural role by embedding, for instance, energy storage. Thus, a novel design methodology was investigated to achieve optimised multifunctional microstructures. Numerical predictions on the multifunctionality were successfully validated by experiments using 3D printed specimens. As an extension of this study, the optimised multi-scale structures for multifunctional composites have been investigated and have demonstrated very promising multifunctionality (i.e. high stiffness and high ionic conductivity) with considerable savings in computation cost. The contributions of this research would provide great insights into their potential uses in industrial applications and the next steps in academic research.

description: Recently new reactor antineutrino spectra have been provided for 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu and 238U, increasing the mean flux by about 3 percent. To good approximation, this reevaluation applies to all reactor neutrino experiments. The synthesis of published experiments at reactor-detector distances <100 m leads to a ratio of observed event rate to predicted rate of 0.976(0.024). With our new flux evaluation, this ratio shifts to 0.943(0.023), leading to a deviation from unity at 98.6% C.L. which we call the reactor antineutrino anomaly. The compatibility of our results with the existence of a fourth non-standard neutrino state driving neutrino oscillations at short distances is discussed. The combined analysis of reactor data, gallium solar neutrino calibration experiments, and MiniBooNE-neutrino data disfavors the no-oscillation hypothesis at 99.8% C.L. The oscillation parameters are such that |Delta m_{new}^2|>1.5 eV^2 (95%) and sin^2(2θ_{new})=0.14(0.08) (95%). Constraints on the theta13 neutrino mixing angle are revised.

description: A semi-empirical method is used to characterize the 3s(2)3p(2)-3s3p(3) J=2 transition array in P II. In this method, Slater, spin-orbit, and radial parameters are fitted to experimental energy levels in order to obtain a description of the array in terms of LS-coupling basis vectors. The various IC and CI amplitudes resulting from this model are then used to predict the branching fractions of transitions within the array. Results close to LS-coupling values are presented, and these are compared to branching ratios measured using beam-foil spectroscopy at the THIA laboratory. The work provides support for the hypothesis of Dr. Curtis that transition arrays with little upper state IC but significant upper state CI in atoms of low Z exhibit branching fractions close to LS-coupled values, although the data are inconclusive in this respect.

Fieldwork represents a highlight for most students in geosciences but is associated with challenges related to diversity. Due to long periods of absence, high costs, remote destinations, and physical and mental stresses, not all students can equally benefit from the offer, for example, people with care obligations, challenges due to sociocultural status, insufficient financial resources, or illnesses. Some outcrops are generally inaccessible.

The Engineering Geology and Rock Mass Mechanics Group at Ruhr-University Bochum realizes projects towards a more diversity-friendly education in geosciences.

Within Digifit, the geological mapping course in the Bachelor’s curriculum was digitized. With 360° tours and 3D models of outcrops and rock samples, the course can be offered digitally and provides high-quality teaching material for the preparation and postprocessing of fieldwork.

DRAGON Ruhr.nrw develops digital teaching material for geosciences and civil engineering. By content relating to climate change and geohazards, such as 3D models of outcrops in the Ahr valley, students are faced with the significance of their future roles.

As part of research-based learning projects, students are currently working on a comparison between manual mapping of discontinuity orientations and the derivation of orientations from digital models.

We highlight limitations of digital fieldwork and ways to counteract them. The resulting educational material offers a diversity-open access to fieldwork. The media competence of the graduates is strengthened and the attractiveness of geosciences is increased. In addition, digital teaching content offers great potential for interdisciplinary collaborations and can be used by third parties, for example in the context of ESD.

description: The Hamiltonian of a system of two quantum mechanical particles moving on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\Z^d$ and interacting via zero-range attractive pair potentials is considered. For the two-particle energy operator $H_μ(K),$ $K\in \T^d=(-π,π]^d$ -- the two-particle quasi-momentum, the existence of a unique positive eigenvalue $z(μ, K)$ above the upper edge of the essential spectrum of $H_μ(K)$ is proven and asymptotics for $z(μ, K)$ are found when $μ$ approaches to some $μ_0(K)$ and $K\to 0.$
“Let’s talk sex scientifically!” : examining sub-Saharan states’ communication strategies in sexual health from AIDS programming in relation to their political leverage and stigmas against HIV’s key populations
Creators: name: Lo, Dustin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Background: Different Sub-Saharan States, such as Botswana, Kenya and Malawi, use different policy approaches to mitigate AIDS epidemic, which generate different public receptions towards the government and HIV-prone key populations, aside from trends in HIV prevalence. This research explores factors which can affect people’s subscription to governments’ “scientific”, “evidence-based” paradigms, beyond traditional culture and state’s capacities in service deliveries, and into states’ discourses in their policy articulations and programming. Method: Theoretically guided by Schmidt’s (2008) Discursive Institutionalism and Gauvin’s (2014) “3i model”, an interpretive critical discourse analysis is conducted between Botswana, Kenya and Malawi, in light of their policy documents derived from national HIV Strategies. It takes a “medley” approach to compare state’s problem definition on AIDS, framing on significant ideas, and qualities of policies, particularly in regards to HIV-related interactions: behavioural change interventions and counseling. Studies of the cases of Botswana and Kenya are extended to empowerment and stigma mitigation towards key populations, with references to the legacies of states’ policy discourses, their Key Population Survey, and conceptualizations in “human rights”. Results In early 2010s, the majority of people in Botswana show willingness to comply to state’s behavioural advices and services on HIV, and increasingly, to seek for government’s support in personal matters. The rates are lower in both Kenya and Malawi, despite former’s relatively high adequacy and level of HIV-knowledge than the latter. The state of Botswana “universalizes” dis-courses towards a public health regime, which Malawi attempts but fails; Kenya “privatizes” the matter of health instead. Despite policy efforts to empower key populations in human rights means, stigma against them remain in both Botswana and Kenya, primarily perpetuated by the society (Botswana) or authorities (Kenya). Conclusion Discourses stimulating interactionally equitable interactions in national AIDS’ policy programming, aided by resource adequacy, are necessary to foster “scientific” behavioural change from traditional influences in sexual health, to establish state’s hegemony in national the public health regime. However, legal rights alone, stemmed from state’s attitudinal and policy changes, carries little direct effect to compel against everyday societal stigma against the sexually discriminated people.
Embedding a pair of graphs in a surface, and the width of 4-dimensional prismatoids

description: A prismatoid is a polytope with all its vertices contained in two parallel facets, called its bases. Its width is the number of steps needed to go from one base to the other in the dual graph. The first author recently showed that the existence of counter-examples to the Hirsch conjecture is equivalent to that of $d$-prismatoids of width larger than $d$, and constructed such prismatoids in dimension five. Here we show that the same is impossible in dimension four. This is proved by looking at the pair of graph embeddings on a 2-sphere that arise from the normal fans of the two bases.

description:
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are an integral element of the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016) as they are recommended to refer to data sets and metadata. They are, however, also considered to be used to refer to other data entities, like people, organizations, projects, laboratories, repositories, publications, vocabularies, samples, instruments, licenses, methods and others. Consistently integrating these PIDs into data infrastructures can create a high level of interoperability allowing to build connections between data sets from different repositories according to common meta information.

For developers and maintainers of repositories it is very difficult to decide, which PID systems to integrate, and how to implement the PIDs into the repositories metadata schema. Many decisions have to be made, e.g. where is the reference information, in my repositories metadata or the PID metadata? Who is responsible for a PID record, who registers is and who maintains it, in case the meta-information changes?

In this presentation we will shed some light on selected PID systems we recommend to use within the Helmholtz Association, and how we envision to solve some of the mentioned challenges. We develop and outline procedures to implement PIDs in a harmonized way, in order to achieve a level of interoperability across data infrastructures, based on metadata of commonly referenced PIDs.
