description: Ende November 2004 erregte ein signierter Artikel des Parteiorgans Renmin Ribao (People’s Daily) in internationalen Medienkreisen wie auch in der akademischen Öffentlichkeit Chinas großes Aufsehen. Darin wurde der Begriff des „öffentlichen Intellektuellen“ (gonggong zhi- shifenzi) als Ausdruck eines aus dem Westen importierten „heroischen“ bzw. „elitären Geschichtsverständnisses“ entlarvt, der zwischen Intellektuelle und werktätige Massen einen gefährlichen Keil treibe (RMRB, 25.11.2004).

description: Hollow spheres made from titanium dioxide (TiO2) are interesting structures because of their high surface area and low density, combined with semiconducting properties of the TiO2. However, the synthesis is still challenging because of the high reactivity of the titania precursors. Here, we present a simple, reproducible, and scalable way to synthesize TiO2 hollow spheres in the micrometer/sub-micrometer size range comprising three steps: synthesis of polystyrene template particles, growth of TiO2 shells, and calcination to hollow spheres. We investigate the importance of adjusting the seed particle surface functionalization via the appropriate choice of comonomer during the dispersion polymerization. An aging step and a calcination process at low temper- atures are mandatory to retain the particle integrity during the seed particle removal. We provide a detailed characterization of each step of this process including electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, and simultaneous thermal analysis.

description: V4641 Sgr is a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system with somewhat puzzling spectral characteristics during its soft state. Recent high-resolution spectroscopic studies of V4641 Sgr have revealed strong ionized emission line features in both the optical and X-ray bands, including P-Cygni signatures, and an unusually low soft state luminosity, indicating that the central engine is obscured. Here we present an analysis of five NuSTAR observations of V4641 Sgr taken during its recent outburst in 2021, when the source was in the soft state. We identify highly ionized Fe K emission lines, consistent with a combination of the near-neutral $6.4$~keV Fe K$α$ line, and the H-like and He-like Fe K$α$ and Fe K$β$ transitions found at $6.7\mbox{--}7$~keV and $\sim8$~keV, and find no evidence for strong relativistic broadening. The line fluxes correlate linearly with the observed disk continuum flux, implying a direct connection between the central engine and the reprocessing region. Most interestingly, all five spectra also show a persistent highly ionized Fe K continuum edge feature at $\sim9$~keV with a stable optical depth, which is likely smeared, implying a localized reprocessing zone. We find tentative supporting evidence for obscuration of the inner accretion disk based on its unusually low intrinsic luminosity, however, the NuSTAR spectra do not require obscuration from cold, optically thick gas.

Verwaltungsreformen in China: Konjunkturzyklen des Hainan-Modells
Creators: name: Gottwald, Jörn-Carsten
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Die Geschichte administrativer Reformen in der VR China ist lang. Mit der Regelmäßigkeit eines Konjunktur Zyklus folgte seit 1950 auf Bemühungen, Umfang und Mitarbeiterzahl im Verwaltungsapparat durch die Abschaffung einzelner Abteilungen und die Reduzierung der Beschäftigten signifikant zu senken, meist rasch eine Phase der Neugründung von Einheiten mit verstärkten Neueinstellungen. Unter den ungelösten Problemen, die die alte Führungsgeneration um Jiang Zemin, Li Peng und Zhu Rongji auf dem XVI. Parteitag der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) ihren Nachfolgern um Hu Jintao mit auf den Weg gegeben hat, besitzt die unvollständige Reform des Staats- und P art ei ap parat es erhebliche Brisanz: Nicht, dass es seit den 1980er Jahren an Programmen, Kampagnen und Experimenten gemangelt hätte - trotzdem scheint auch die letzte Runde der Verwaltungsreformen von 1998 dem bekannten Konjunkturzyklus zu folgen.

description: Recent Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods encapsulating relational information via masking in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown promising performance. However, most existing approaches rely on random masking strategies in either feature or graph space, which may fail to capture task-relevant information fully. We posit that this limitation stems from an inability to achieve minimum redundancy between masked and unmasked components while ensuring maximum relevance of both to potential downstream tasks. Conditional Independence (CI) inherently satisfies the minimum redundancy and maximum relevance criteria, but its application typically requires access to downstream labels. To address this challenge, we introduce CIMAGE, a novel approach that leverages Conditional Independence to guide an effective masking strategy within the latent space. CIMAGE utilizes CI-aware latent factor decomposition to generate two distinct contexts, leveraging high-confidence pseudo-labels derived from unsupervised graph clustering. In this framework, the pretext task involves reconstructing the masked second context solely from the information provided by the first context. Our theoretical analysis further supports the superiority of CIMAGE's novel CI-aware masking method by demonstrating that the learned embedding exhibits approximate linear separability, which enables accurate predictions for the downstream task. Comprehensive evaluations across diverse graph benchmarks illustrate the advantage of CIMAGE, with notably higher average rankings on node classification and link prediction tasks. Notably, our proposed model highlights the under-explored potential of CI in enhancing graph SSL methodologies and offers enriched insights for effective graph representation learning.

description: The Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest cosmic ray detector, plays a pivotal role in exploring the frontiers of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. By the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, Auger provides critical insights into two major scenarios: super heavy dark matter and Lorentz invariance violation. Super heavy dark matter, hypothesized to originate in the early universe, offers a compelling explanation for the dark matter problem and is constrained by Auger through searches for photons and neutrinos resulting from its decay. Lorentz invariance violations, motivated by quantum gravity theories implying deviations from fundamental symmetries, are probed by Auger through alterations of the particle dispersion relation and the energy thresholds of their interactions with astrophysical photons backgrounds.

Allein deswegen schon ist er von großer Bedeutung für die Region. Neben der Chance, durch seine Nutzung als Transport- und Verkehrsweg die R.egion näher zusammenrücken zu lassen, bietet er auch Potenzial für die weitere Entwicklung und Industrialisierung der Anrainerstaaten, beispielsweise durch die Bereitstellung großer Mengen kostengünstiger Energie aus Wasserkraft. So sieht China, in der Ausbeutung des Elektrizitätspotenzials des Mekong eine Chance, der im Vergleich zu den Regionen entlang der Ostküste unterentwickelten Provinz Yunnan einen Entwicklungsschub zu verschaffen.

description: Die ökonomische Anbindung der westchinesischen Provinzen an die Wachstumsdynamik der Ostküstenregion zählt zu den großen wirtschaftspolitischen Herausforderungen für jede chinesische Zentralregierung im 21. Jahrhundert. Regionalpolitische Strategien zur Entwicklung Zentral- und Westchinas sind in der Geschichte der VR China nicht neu. So wurden in den 1960er Jahren mit der Verlagerung von Industriebetrieben aus den Provinzen der Ostküste in die Provinzen im Binnenland und der Zuweisung zentralstaatlicher Finanzmittel an die Inlandsprovinzen nicht nur verteidigungspolitische, sondern auch regionalpolitische Ziele einer gleichgewichtigen Entwicklung verfolgt. Diese Strategie war mit hohen Kosten verbunden und verhinderte trotzdem nicht, dass die regionalen Disparitäten bis Ende der 1970er Jahre drastisch zunahmen. Von der anschließenden ungleichgewichtigen Regionalpolitik wurde erwartet, dass sie zwar zunächst die Disparitäten verstärken könnte, jedoch eine Ausbreitung von Wachstumseffekten von der Küstenregion in die Inlandsprovinzen mit sich bringen würde.

description: Passive daytime cooling could contribute to the reduction of our global energy consumption. It is capable of cooling materials down to below ambient temperatures without the necessity of any additional input energy. Yet, current devices and concepts all lack the possibility to switch the cooling properties on and off. Here, we introduce dynamic control for passive radiative cooling during daytime. Using an angle- selective solar filter on top of a nocturnal passive radiator allows tuning the surface temperature of the latter in a wide range by just tilting the filter from normal incidence up to around 23°. This angle-selective filter is based on optically engineered, one-dimensional photonic crystal structures. We use numerical simulations to investigate the feasibility of a switchable low-pass filter/emitter device.

description: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the significance of active mechanical metamaterials capable of being remotely manipulated through changes in external stimuli. While research in this area has achieved considerable success in controlling reconfiguration to induce shape morphing or alter static mechanical properties, the active control of wave propagation within these systems remains largely unexplored. In this study, we propose a magneto-mechanical metamaterial that can be entirely governed by adjusting the magnitude and direction of an external magnetic field. We demonstrate that such a system offers remote control over its Poisson's ratio, allowing for transitions from strongly auxetic to positive Poisson's ratio configurations. Additionally, our system enables manipulation of the phononic band structure, facilitating the formation of complete band gaps across different frequency ranges depending on the stage of the magnetically guided reconfiguration process. The potential for achieving such active control over the properties and behavior of these materials holds great promise for various applications, including robotics and smart vibration dampers that can be remotely controlled.

description: Key Findings -Based on Zambia Crop Forecast Survey (CFS) data from before and during the 2015/16 and 2016/17 piloting of the e-voucher approach to the Farmer Input Support Programme (e-FISP), the results suggest that the e-FISP fell short of achieving some of its objectives, at least in the short-run and based on the outcomes that can be analyzed with the CFS. -At best, the outcomes analyzed were not statistically different under the e-FISP versus the traditional FISP (for farmers’ purchases of unsubsidized fertilizer, use of herbicide, and field crop diversification); at worst, outcomes were worse under the e-FISP relative to the traditional FISP (for fertilizer and hybrid maize seed use, and the timeliness of and distance to FISP fertilizer for beneficiary households). -These disappointing e-FISP results are likely due more to implementation challenges and lack of political will than to fundamental flaws in the e-FISP concept and design.

description: Key Findings -Despite sustained efforts by successive Zambia governments to implement policies that assure food and nutrition security, questions remain around policy coherence and consistency in the agricultural sector. -This brief reports on the perceived changes in the quality and design of agriculture and food security policy processes, and on the quality of the institutional architecture supporting these processes in Zambia. -Stakeholders in Zambia seem to perceive that policy analyses from research institutes is objective. This is important for evidence-based policy making. -Stakeholders are also more satisfied than at baseline with the quality and content of, participation in policy design and implementation in policy processes, and the level of dialogue between government and other stakeholders. -Stakeholders are also more satisfied than at baseline with the quality and content of, participation in policy design and implementation in policy processes, and the level of dialogue between government and other stakeholders. -Stakeholder perceptions of the overall quality of agricultural and food security policies marginally declined by 0.27 points (on a scale of 0 to 3) between 2017 and 2019. This seems to suggest that stakeholders somewhat perceive a less satisfactory quality of dialogue, coordination, cooperation, and partnership between stakeholders in the agricultural sector and government for advancing policy reforms on agriculture and food security issues in Zambia. -Stakeholder perceptions of the quality of the institutional architecture of agriculture and food policy processes in Zambia barely changed, declining just by 0.05 points on a scale of 0 to 3) between 2017 and 2019. -These findings suggest that, among other things, there is scope for the agricultural and food security policy processes in Zambia to be more inclusive, engage more with stakeholders, and more effectively utilize the available empirical evidence to inform policy design. -The perceived objectivity of current policy analyses in Zambia should strengthen the use of evidence to inform policy processes in the country
title: Towards a Genealogy of Teenage Pregnancy in Britain, 1955-1960
Creators: name: Koffman, Ofra
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis presents a genealogical enquiry into the emergence of the governmental field of teenage pregnancy. The enquiry focuses on governmental work with unmarried mothers during the late 1950s and 1960s, and identifies the changes in governmental discourses and practices associated with the emergence of the problematization of the teenage unmarried other. The data is drawn from the governmental publications and from the archive records of the London County Council. The thesis: (1) describes the two key problematizations of unmarried mothers in Britain during the late 1950s and 1960s: the moral and the psychological; (2) examines the place of the psychological concept of adolescence as a distinct developmental stage within these problematizations; (3) presents two case-studies of government and voluntary work with unmarried mothers and examines the influence of the moral and psychological perspectives; (4) charts the rise of governmental concern with the sexually active adolescent in the years following the Second World War; (5) describes the way in which the concern with the governance of the sexually active teenager contributed to the emergence of the teenage unmarried mother as a distinct field of governmental work; (6) outlines the characteristics of the problematization of the teenage unmarried mother and portrays the work of the first Mother and Baby Home which specialised in the care of schoolfirl unmarried mothers. It is concluded that the emergence of the teenage unmarried mother as an object of governmental concern was associated with two key discursive shifts: a shift from 'unmarried mother' to 'teenager' as the key term denoting a young woman's subjectivity; second, a shift from a notion of motherhood as a devise for transforming a woman's subjectivity to a physchological discourse of motherhood concerned with a woman's ability to generate healthy development in her child.

description: This work introduces a new markovian stochastic model that can be described as a non-homogeneous Pure Birth process. We propose a functional form of birth rate that depends on the number of individuals in the population and on the elapsed time, allowing us to model a contagion effect. Thus, we model the early stages of an epidemic. The number of individuals then becomes the infectious cases and the birth rate becomes the incidence rate. We obtain this way a process that depends on two competitive phenomena, infection and immunization. Variations in those rates allow us to monitor how effective the actions taken by government and health organizations are. From our model, three useful indicators for the epidemic evolution over time are obtained: the immunization rate, the infection/immunization ratio and the mean time between infections (MTBI). The proposed model allows either positive or negative concavities for the mean value curve, provided the infection/immunization ratio is either greater or less than one. We apply this model to the present SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still in its early growth stage in Latin American countries. As it is shown, the model accomplishes a good fit for the real number of both positive cases and deaths. We analyze the evolution of the three indicators for several countries and perform a comparative study between them. Important conclusions are obtained from this analysis.

description: Purpose: Linguistic prosody is affected in Parkinson’s disease (PD), which implicates the basal ganglia’s role in the production of prosody. However, there is no recent systematic synthesis of the available acoustic evidence of prosodic impairment in PD. This study aimed to identify the acoustic features of linguistic prosody that are consistently affected in PD.Method: The authors systematically reviewed articles that reported acoustic features of prosodic production in PD. Articles focused on fundamental frequency (F0) and its variability, intensity and its variability, speech and articulation rate, and pause duration and ratio. From a total of 648 records identified, 36 met criteria for inclusion and exclusion. For each acoustic measurement and task, data from people with PD (PwPD) were compared with those from controls to extract effect sizes. Pooled effect sizes were estimated using robust Bayesian hierarchical regression models.Results: PD was associated with decreased F0 variability and increased pause duration. There was limited evidence of reduced intensity variability and speech rate in PwPD. No evidence was found to suggest that PD affects articulation rate or pause ratio.Conclusions: The primary acoustic parameters of prosody affected by PD are F0 variability and pause duration. The identification of these acoustic parameters has important clinical implications for the selection of PD management strategies. The association of F0 variability and pause duration with PD suggests that the neural circuits controlling these parameters are at least partly shared and might include the basal ganglia. While the current study focused on the phonetic realization of prosodic cues, future studies should examine whether and how PD affects prosody at higher levels of processing.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Vor gut 13 Jahren, im Juni 1989, übernahm Jiang Ze- min die Führung der KP Chinas - er ist damit schon jetzt der Politiker mit der zweitlängsten Amtszeit in der 81-jährigen Parteigeschichte, nur Mao Zedong hat länger regiert. Dies ist besonders bemerkenswert, wenn man berücksichtigt, dass allein in den zehn Jahren vor Jiangs Ernennung drei Vorgänger (Hua Guofeng, Hu Yaobang und Zhao Ziyang) gestürzt worden waren; Jiang ist auch der erste Parteichef seit Mao, der mehr als einen Parteitag im Amt überlebt hat.

description: Das im Zusammenhang mit abhängiger Beschäftigung von Chinesen lange Zeit gängige Klischee war das des Kellners, Kochs und der Küchenhilfe in chinesischen Restaurantbetrieben. Daneben schien es nur noch einige Studenten gegeben zu haben, die es verstanden hatten, an deutschen Universitäten oder in noch geringeren Zahlen auchin der deutschen Wirtschaft Fuß zu fassen. Seit einem Jahrzehnt wächst jedoch auch die Zahl der sozialversicherungspflichtig in Deutschland beschäftigten chinesischen Staatsangehörigen in großem Tempo, und es scheint daher an der Zeit, das bislang vorherrschende Bild auf seinen Realitätsgehalt zu überprüfen.

description: En vue d’analyser les espèces médicinales utilisées, les techniques de prélèvement et les activités anthropiques qui sont à la base de leur disparition, une enquête par questionnaire  accompagnée de la méthode d’observation a été réalisée dans la communauté leele du Secteur d'ELL Mapangu. Elle a identifié 153 espèces appartenant à 120 genres et 56 familles, utilisées pour traiter 57 affections. Le plus grand consensus concerne les maladies infectieuses et parasitaires (ICF 0,88) et les maladies du système digestif (ICF 0,87). Les valeurs médicinales (Méd. UVs) atteignent 0,79 et 33 espèces ont des valeurs maximales d'IARs méd. équivalant à 1. La tranche d'âge de 40 à 50 ans est majoritaire dans l'utilisation des espèces médicinales, mais les personnes âgées de plus de 70 ans connaissent mieux les espèces médicinales. Les racines sont les plus utilisées dans les différentes recettes ; la décoction et l’infusion sont les modes de préparation les plus courants.

Sur le plan écologique, les phanérophytes dominent (64,70%) et les espèces Guinéo-congolaises sont les plus représentées. L'objectif est de lutter contre les effets des activités anthropiques sur l’environnement pour une gestion durable de ressources naturelles.

description: Cet article vise à approfondir la compréhension de la dynamique entre la coporate governance et la performance des entreprises cotées au Maroc. Pour ce faire, les chercheurs ont opté pour la méthode des équations structurelles, utilisant un échantillon représentatif de 68 entreprises inscrites en bourse. L'objectif principal était de tester et de valider les hypothèses ainsi que le modèle de recherche établis. Les résultats obtenus révèlent une relation significative entre cinq principes clés de la coporate governance et la performance financière des sociétés étudiées. Plus précisément, l'étude confirme l'impact positif de certains aspects de la coporate governance sur la performance financière des entreprises marocaines. Cependant, la recherche ne parvient pas à valider la relation entre le traitement équitable des actionnaires et le rôle des parties prenantes avec la performance financière de l'entreprise.

description: Motivated by recent reports of pressure-induced superconductivity in bilayer nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, we present a comprehensive investigation into the structural, electronic, magnetic, and phonon properties of this compound across a pressure range of 0 to 29.5 GPa. DFT+U calculations reveal that the A-type antiferromagnetic ground state of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ persists throughout the studied pressure range. Electronic structure analysis shows that the Ni-$d_{xy}$ and Ni-$d_{z^2}$ orbitals dominate near the Fermi level in both the $Fmmm$ and $Amam$ phases of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$. Phonon dispersion calculations for the $Fmmm$ phase reveal no imaginary modes from 12 to 29.5 GPa, confirming its dynamical stability in this pressure range. The vibrational frequencies of O atoms are substantially higher than those of Ni and La atoms, primarily due to the lower mass of oxygen. At 29.5 GPa, the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ$ for the $Fmmm$ phase is calculated to be 0.13. This small value suggests that conventional electron-phonon coupling is insufficient to explain the reported superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, indicating a potentially unconventional mechanism. The study offers nuanced, actionable insights that can strategically inform and direct subsequent experimental investigations into the design and optimization of nickel-based superconducting materials.
