title: “That’s just stuff on paper”: A comparative case study of how restorative justice is operationalised to adapt and resist youth justice policy.
Creators: name: Scott, A
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis draws upon data gathered in a comparative case study of how youth justice practitioners understand and make sense of restorative justice as part of their roles. Restorative justice has become a staple feature within youth justice in England and Wales, and its advance to the forefront of youth crime responses has seen some Youth Offending Teams adopt it as the ideological practice bedrock (Smith and Gray, 2019; StahlKopf, 2008). However, research has shown that youth justice policy rarely reflects diverging practices at implementation (Morris, 2015; Souhami, 2007) and that organisational culture may inform restorative practices more than policy (Stahlkopf, 2008). The research centres on a Youth Offending Team in 2015, where one team relocated to a police station, and data shows that ideological divergences have emerged between the staff teams that reflect their cultural surroundings. Christie’s (1977) Conflict as Property is understood as the foundation of restorative ideology. From this, Cohen’s (1985) social control framework is used to test the extent to which restorative justice typifies Cohen’s warnings that even seemingly progressive initiatives invariably become consumed by the harmful nature of criminal justice. From a Bourdieusian analysis, the findings add to a body of research highlighting pressures experienced by public penal-welfare agencies to present performance efficiencies whilst attempting to retain their grasp on welfare ideals. Whilst both sites feel the strains of juggling contradicting welfare and justice priorities, data revealed contrasting operational coping strategies to manage those competing pressures that have differing effects on restorative practices. Data shows that restorative justice is revealed in multiple ways, contingent on organisational needs and occupational cultures. At an occupational level, at one site, practice embodied practitioners’ youth justice ideologies, which would later be administratively defined as restorative regardless. Organisationally, restorative justice is an administrative tool used to communicate in languages of efficiency and criminal justice to external stakeholders. However, whilst administrative restorative justice was used at one site to authenticate practices documented elsewhere as messy youth justice practices (Morris, 2015), at the second site, administrative restorative justice transcended its organisational needs to consume practitioners, restrict discretion and standardise their practices.
MOND as a transformation between non-inertial reference frames via Sciama's interpretation of Mach's Principle

description: Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) correction to Newtonian gravity or inertia is shown to be equivalent to a more fundamental transformation between a non-inertial local reference frame and the fixed background of the observable universe, complying with Mach's principle. Both Newton's gravitational constant and Milgrom's MOND acceleration parameter or scale constant are substituted for two varying, measurable, physical, and cosmological parameters under the justification of Sciama's interpretation of Mach's principle: causally connected mass and size of the universe. This Machian interpretation, scale-invariant and free from fundamental constants and free parameters with the exception of the speed of light as the speed of causality and gravity, is based on relative field intensities of the small and large scale of the universe. It respects the Machian effect from Sciama's model, by which, in absence of a background, rotational speed is undefined up to the speed of light. The Machian MOND approximation is a necessary feature of a phenomenological nonlinear theory of modified inertia or nonlinear theory of modified gravity which incorporates Mach's principle in agreement with galaxy rotation curves.

description: Unveiling the principles behind self-organization in quantum systems is of paramount importance, both intrinsically and practically, in view of foreseeable technological applications. Recently, increasing attention is being paid to atomic systems in curved geometries, which are a promising platform for the discovery of new emergent phenomena. A notable example is that of a gas of ultracold atoms loaded into a thin spherical shell, according to a protocol introduced by Zobay and Garraway more than twenty years ago. However, gravity prevents a dilute assembly of atoms from uniformly spreading throughout the shell, which explains why experiments on the condensation and superfluidity of bubble-trapped gases are usually conducted in space under microgravity conditions. In this paper, we focus instead on strongly-interacting quantum particles in a bubble trap, choosing the cluster supersolid of soft-core bosons as testbed. To study the impact of gravity on supersolid order, we consider a gedanken experiment in which the strength of gravity relative to the core repulsion is gradually enhanced. Using path integral Monte Carlo simulations, we trace the parallel evolution of system structure and superfluidity at low temperature, finding that the latter is sizeable only when gravity is a small perturbation or, at the other extreme, so strong that particles are all gathered in one cluster at the bottom of the trap. Finally, we assess the relevance of gravity for the equilibrium behavior of ultracold Rydberg-dressed atoms in a bubble trap, concluding that in some cases clues of the supersolid phase in the absence of gravity could be found even in a laboratory on Earth.

description: Several evaluation campaigns on Question-Answering Systems over linked data are conducted regularly for the biomedical resources and rarely for the agronomic ones. The Question-Answering Systems porting to the agronomic resources requires the setting up and the analysis of a new series of queries.

In agronomic context and at the present time, there are no reference data neither a series of reference questions issued to assess Question-Answering Systems.

To this end, we build a gold standard that consists of a set of reference questions in natural language and their corresponding SPARQL questions. We consider the Agronomic LinkedData knowledge base as the reference dataset.

description: The discrepancy between the Hubble constant $H_0$ values derived from early-time and late-time measurements, reaching up to $4σ$, represents the most serious challenge in modern cosmology and astrophysics. In this work, we investigate if a similar tension exists between only late time measurements at different redshifts. We use the latest public datasets including Cosmic Chronometers, Megamasers, SNe Ia and DESI-BAO, that span from redshift $z \sim 0$ up to $z\sim 2.3$. By dividing the data into redshift bins, we derive $H_0$ values from each bin separately. Our analysis reveals a phenomenological dynamic evolution in $H_0$ across different redshift ranges, with a significance from $1.5σ$ and $2.3σ$, depending on the parameterization. Consistency of the model demands observational constancy of $H_0$ since it is an integration constant within the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric. Thus, these findings suggest that the observed Hubble tension might not only exist between early and late-time measurements but also among late-time data themselves, providing new insights into the nature of the Hubble tension.

Processing of /ɾ/ Lateralization in Spanish and the Effects of Dialectal Experience in a Lexical Decision Task
Creators: name: Schwarz-Acosta, Nikolai Andrés
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The Caribbean varieties of Spanish have long been marginalized, with many aspects of Caribbean Spanish (i.e. /ɾ/ lateralization, /s/ deletion, intervocalic /d/ deletion, /l/ rhotacization, among others) socially stigmatized within the Spanish speaking community (Carter & Callesano, 2018). However, there has been little to no investigation into the processing effects of these variations. Simply, while community members may have negative social connotations with these pronunciation variants, does their presence affect intelligibility and word recognition? Previous work has shown that there are a number of factors affecting lexical processing, including but not limited to, familiarity (Floccia et al., 2006), associativeness (Perea & Rosa, 2002), gender (van Berkum et al., 2008), experience (Sumner & Samuel, 2009), and others. This study aims to investigate how listener level of experience affects word processing of /ɾ/ lateralization. /ɾ/ lateralization is the systematic change from /ɾ/ to [l] in coda position present in many varieties of Caribbean Spanish. /r/ lateralization is arguably one of the most salient features in Caribbean varieties of Spanish. Despite its commonplace occurrence, it is stigmatized across Spanish communities, often deemed a pronunciation error. To assess how listeners perceive this variation at the word level, in this study, I employ a lexical decision task to have listeners judge the lexicality of words excluding and including this variation. Afterwards, the participants are asked questions regarding their varying experiences with Caribbean varieties of Spanish. There was no direct evidence that dialectal experience affects speech processing, but the results show large individual differences in /ɾ/ lateralization.
Characterizing topological pumping of charges in exactly solvable Rice-Mele chains of the non-Hermitian variety

description: We address the nature of the Thouless charge-pumping for a non-Hermitian (NH) generalization of the one-dimensional (1d) Rice-Mele model, considering a variety which allows closed-form analytical solutions for the eigensystems. The two-band system is subjected to an ``adiabatic'' time-periodic drive, which effectively gives us a closed two-dimensional (2d) manifold in the momentum-frequency space, mimicking a 2d Brillouin zone (BZ) for periodic boundary conditions. For open boundary conditions, we formulate the non-Bloch generalized Brillouin zone (GBZ). All these allow us to compute the Chern numbers of the 2d manifolds emerging for various parameter values, using the BZ or GBZ, which are well-defined integers in the gapped regions of the spectra. If Thouless pumping still holds for NH situations, the expectation values of the net displacement for the particles occupying a given band within a cycle, calculated using the right and left eigenvectors of a biorthogonal basis for the complex Hamiltonians, would coincide with the Chern numbers. However, we find that there are deviations from the expected quantized values whenever the spectra exhibit strongly-fluctuating magnitudes of the imaginary parts of the (generically) complex eigenvalues. This implies that we need to address the question of how to meaningfully define time-evolution, as well as adiabaticity, in the context of NH systems.

description: Bark beetles utilize aggregation pheromone systems to communicate and mass attack host trees leading to death of the tree. The alder bark beetle, Alniphagus aspericollis (LeConte), attacks red alder, Alnus rubra Bong., one of the most important and abundant hardwood species in British Columbia. I assessed the spatial distribution of alder bark beetle attacked trees within five sites in the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island of British Columbia. I predicted that the alder bark beetle attacks should display spatial clustering in a manner indicative of an aggregation pheromone similar to what is known of conifer bark beetle systems. Using Ripley’s K function to analyze 1-hectare stands, I found that alder bark beetle attacked trees displayed clustering at four of the five sites studied. This is supportive of the hypothesis that the alder bark beetle utilizes an aggregation pheromone to mass attack trees. This can help guide future research and management of the within coastal red alder stands.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία καταβάλλεται μία προσπάθεια προσέγγισης του φαινομένου της ενδοοικογενειακής βίας κατά των γυναικών εντός του γάμου μέσα από μία φεμινιστική οπτική. Το φαινόμενο της συγκεκριμένης μορφής βίας εξακολουθεί, να αποτελεί σοβαρό κοινωνικό πρόβλημα παρά τις σημαντικές προόδους, οι οποίες έχουν επιτευχθεί. Εδώ και δεκαετίες τα γυναικεία ζητήματα δεν αποτελούν πια σκοτεινά θέματα κρυμμένα στη σφαίρα του ιδιωτικού. Η κοινωνική έρευνα έχει φωτίσει ποικίλες πλευρές τους. Η θετική αυτή εξέλιξη προκάλεσε ταυτόχρονα την παραγωγή μεγάλου όγκου ερευνών, από διάφορες θεωρητικές κατευθύνσεις και με αφετηρία από διαφορετικά γνωστικά αντικείμενα. Αποτέλεσμα των παραπάνω αποτελεί η πραγματικότητα της ύπαρξης ποικίλων ερμηνειών για τα γυναικεία ζητήματα γενικά και την ενδοοικογενειακή βία κατά των γυναικών ειδικά. Στην ερευνητική μας προσπάθεια επιλέξαμε να αναπτύξουμε περισσότερο το ζήτημα της σχέσης θεωρίας και σχετικών εμπειριών γυναικών της τοπικής κοινωνίας. Αναζητήσαμε μέσα από υλικό συνεντεύξεων τριών κακοποιημένων εντός του γάμου γυναικών την ανίχνευση των στοιχείων εκείνων από τις φεμινιστικές θεωρίες, τα οποία νοηματοδοτούν με μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία τις βιωμένες εμπειρίες τους. Για να το επιτύχουμε, χρησιμοποιήσαμε μεθοδολογικά ημιδομημένες συνεντεύξεις, τις οποίες υποβάλαμε σε θεματική ανάλυση. Πάνω στα βασικά θέματα, που προέκυψαν προσπαθήσαμε να συνδυάσουμε εποικοδομητικά τα κεντρικά χαρακτηριστικά των φαινομένων της βίας κατά των γυναικών, με τις βασικές παραδοχές των κυριότερων θεωρητικών ρευμάτων του φεμινισμού, δηλαδή του φιλελεύθερου, του μαρξιστικού, του ριζοσπαστικού και του σοσιαλιστικού.

description: We consider the linear response of a near-equilibrium charged relativistic gas in the presence of electromagnetic and gravitational field in a generic stationary spacetime up to the second order of relaxation time and calculate the tensorial kinetic coefficients introduced by the presence of the strong electromagnetic and/or gravitational field. Using the covariant transfer equations thus developed, a covariant heat equation governing the relativistic heat conduction is derived, which, in Minkowski spacetime, reduces into a form which is remarkably similar to the well-known Cattaneo equation but with a different sign in front of the second-order time derivative term. We also perform a comparative analysis on the different behaviors of our heat equation and the Cattaneo equation in Minkowski spacetime. Furthermore, the effect of gravity on the heat conduction predicted by our heat equation is illustrated around Schwarzschild black hole, which makes a sharp contrast to the Minkowski case.

description: In Reaktion auf den Erfolg der Unterstützer:innen des EU-Austritts des Vereinigten Königreichs im Referendum im Juni 2016 entfachte sich eine bis heute andauernde Suche nach Erklärungen für den Ausgang der Abstimmung, sowohl in den politischen Medien als auch in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur. Während der wissenschaftliche Diskurs über die Ursachen des Austrittsvotums zunächst reichlich unübersichtlich wirkt, zeigt sich auf den zweiten Blick eine gewisse Systematik in den Erklärungsansätzen: Während einige Autor:innen die Ursachen in sozioökonomischen, materiellen Faktoren verorten (z.B. Fetzer, 2019), sehen andere die Ursachen in kulturellen Werteinstellungen (z.B. Inglehart & Norris, 2016). Diese Arbeit befragt die bestehende Literatur auf Konsens und Widersprüche zur Frage der Ursachen und untersucht im Konkreten, wie es dazu kommt, dass verschiedene Erklärungsansätze die Ursachen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen sozialer Realität verorten, sozioökonomisch und kulturell, und ob die Differenzen zwischen diesen Ebenen aufgelöst werden können. Dazu geht die Arbeit auf die jeweilige theoretische Argumentation und empirische Vorgehensweise der untersuchten Literatur ein. Im Laufe der Untersuchung stellt sich heraus, dass die Frage nach den Ursachen des Brexits ausdifferenziert werden muss in a) weshalb Leave eine Mehrheit gewonnen hat; und b) weshalb Wähler:innen für Leave gestimmt haben. In der untersuchten Literatur scheint es einen Konsens zu geben, dass die erste Frage mit Verweis auf sozioökonomische Faktoren beantwortet werden kann, als Resultat einer Verschlechterung der materiellen Bedingungen der Wähler:innen, während die individuellen Wahlentscheidungen durch kulturelle Faktoren beeinflusst worden seien, in Form konservativer Werteinstellungen. Zum Schluss stellt die Arbeit eine eigene Erklärungshypothese zu den Ursachen des Brexits auf. Demnach haben sozioökonomische Prozesse bei einem großen Teil der Bevölkerung zu einem Anstieg materieller Unsicherheit geführt. Dies hatte ein Erstarken konservativ-materieller Werteinstellungen zur Folge. Solche Werteinstellungen führten wiederum zu Wahlentscheidungen für populistisch-autoritäre Programme wie den Brexit. Da von diesen Prozessen ausreichend viele Wähler:innen betroffen waren, hat Leave eine Mehrheit erzielt.

description: In this work, we explore the influence of coupling strength, network size, and randomness on the collective dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators on complex networks. Using Watts-Strogatz small-world network connectivities, we identify four distinct dynamical phases: chaotic, intermittent, partially synchronized, and fully synchronized. The intermittent phase is characterized by the coexistence of chaotic behavior and chimera states, reminiscent of epileptic-seizure-related (ESR) intermittency observed in the brain. We analyze the inter-spike intervals of the individual oscillators, and the existence, duration, and frequency of ESR events as a function of the system parameters. Furthermore, we study the transitions into and out of the intermittent phase and show that peaks in the probability of extreme events--short transients of anomalously high synchronization--precede the transitions from chaos to intermittency and from partial to full synchronization. These transitions are followed by significant changes in the maximum Lyapunov exponent and Kaplan-Yorke dimension. Finally, we discuss how the coupling strength and network properties can be leveraged to control the system's state and the potential applications of extreme event analysis in the study of neural data.

description: Theoretical descriptions of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states induced by magnetic impurities inside the gap of a superconductor typically rely on a classical spin model or are restricted to spin-12 quantum spins. These models fail to account for important aspects of YSR states induced by transition-metal impurities, including the effects of higher quantum spins coupled to several conduction-electron channels, crystal or ligand-field effects, and magnetic anisotropy. We introduce and explore a zero-bandwidth model, which incorporates these aspects, is readily solved numerically, and analytically tractable in several limiting cases. The principal simplification of the model is to neglect Kondo renormalizations of the exchange couplings between impurity spin and conduction electrons. Nevertheless, we find excellent correspondence in those cases, in which we can compare our results to existing numerical-renormalization-group calculations. We apply the model to obtain and understand phase diagrams as a function of pairing strength and magnetic anisotropy as well as subgap excitation spectra. The single-channel case is most relevant for transition-metal impurities embedded into metallic coordination complexes on superconducting substrates, while the multichannel case models transition-metal adatoms.

description: In this work, we investigate the assumptions regarding spacetime backgrounds underlying the classical double copy. We argue (contrary to the norm) that single-copy fields naturally constructed on the original curved background metric are only interpretable on a flat metric when such a well-defined limit exists, for which Kerr--Schild coordinates offer a natural choice. As an explicit example where such a distinction matters, we initiate an exploration of single-copies for the Gödel universe. This metric lacks a (geodesic) Kerr--Schild representation yet is Petrov type-D, meaning the technology of the ``Weyl double copy" may be utilized. The Weyl derived single copy has many desirable features, including matching the defining properties of the spacetime, and being sourced by the mixed Ricci tensor just as Kerr--Schild single copies are. To compare, we propose a sourced flat-space single-copy interpretation for the Gödel metric by leveraging its symmetries, and find that this proposal lacks the defining properties of the spacetime, and is not consistent with the flat limit of our curved-space single copy. Notably, this inconsistency does not occur in Kerr--Schild metrics. Our curved-space single copy also lead to the same electromagnetic analogue of the Gödel universe found separately through tidal force analogies, opening a new avenue of exploration between the double copy and gravitoelectromagnetism programs.

description: Microfluidic Live-Cell Imaging (MLCI) generates high-quality data that allows biotechnologists to study cellular growth dynamics in detail. However, obtaining these continuous data over extended periods is challenging, particularly in achieving accurate and consistent real-time event classification at the intersection of imaging and stochastic biology. To address this issue, we introduce the Experiment Automation Pipeline for Event-Driven Microscopy to Smart Microfluidic Single-Cells Analysis (EAP4EMSIG). In particular, we present initial zero-shot results from the real-time segmentation module of our approach. Our findings indicate that among four State-Of-The- Art (SOTA) segmentation methods evaluated, Omnipose delivers the highest Panoptic Quality (PQ) score of 0.9336, while Contour Proposal Network (CPN) achieves the fastest inference time of 185 ms with the second-highest PQ score of 0.8575. Furthermore, we observed that the vision foundation model Segment Anything is unsuitable for this particular use case.

title: Research on Cold Chain Packaging Risk Management Based on Fuzzy Bayesian Network and TOPSIS
Creators: name: Ren, T
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: Cold chain disruptions can lead to adverse consequences, damaging product quality and endangering safety. Packaging plays an important role in cold chain management, but the scope of cold chain packaging is still unclear, and its role in the safety and risk management of cold chain needs to be investigated. Therefore, this research aims to propose a conceptual framework for research on cold chain packaging, comprising key metrics assessing the performance of cold chain packaging and an integrated risk management model for cold chain packaging. Multiple approaches have been utilized for the integrated risk management model, including fuzzy Bayesian networks and fuzzy TOPSIS for the assessment of risk factors and risk mitigation strategies. An case study on the risk management of vaccine cold chain packaging is conducted to illustrate the application of the proposed risk management model. Risk factors identified include product quality risk, occupational safety risk, handling risk, container risk, etc., and the causal relationships are analysed, as well as the occurrence probabilities of the risk factors, using the fuzzy Bayesian Network technique. Supply chain risk mitigation strategies identified include multi-workforce skills, multi-sourcing, and quality management systems, and are ranked based on a fuzzy TOPSIS approach. Knowledge in the area of cold chain packaging is still lacking, and this study fills the knowledge gaps by defining the term ‘cold chain packaging’ and its scope. The research framework takes into account packaging, cold chain management and supply chain risk management, analysing the topic of cold chain packaging from different perspectives. This is the first integrated risk management model proposed in the field of cold chain packaging. It can add to the knowledge of the cold chain packaging sector and can serve as a guideline for the definition of important terms in cold chain packaging and the scope of the topic. The risk factors identified, interelationships and probabilities of the risk factors, and risk mitigation strategies provide some insights and guidelines for professionals in cold chain packaging. The overall effectiveness and efficiency of cold chain packaging systems can be improved through this proposed risk management model, improving product quality and occupational safety.

description: In environments with prodigious numbers of neutrinos, such as core-collapse supernovae, neutron star mergers, or the early universe, neutrino-neutrino interactions are dynamically significant. They can dominate neutrino flavor evolution and force it to be nonlinear, causing collective neutrino oscillations. Such collective oscillations have been studied numerically, for systems with up to millions of neutrinos, using mean-field or one-particle effective approximations. However, such a system of interacting neutrinos is a quantum many-body system, wherein quantum correlations could play a significant in the flavor evolution-thereby motivating the exploration of many-body treatments which follow the time evolution of these correlations. In many-body flavor evolution calculations with two neutrino flavors, the emergence of spectral splits in the neutrino energy distributions has been found to be correlated with the degree of quantum entanglement across the spectrum. In this work, for the first time, we investigate the emergence of spectral-splits in the three-flavor many-body collective neutrino oscillations. We find that the emergence of spectral splits resembles the number and location found in the mean-field approximation but not in the width. Moreover, unlike in the two-flavor many-body calculations, we find that additional degrees of freedom make it more difficult to establish a correlation between the location of the spectral splits and the degree of quantum entanglement across the neutrino energy spectrum.

Kirchner e Murnau: ricorrenze iconiche, tematiche e semantiche dalle arti figurative al cinema
Creators: name: Crivelli, Sabrina
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: German Expressionism has had from the beginning a multidisciplinary character and the works of the painters, pertaining to that current, have strongly influenced the filmmakers of the subsequent decade. More specifically, it is possible to find in some sequences of Nosferatu by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau several formal features that have characterized the production of expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, as well as the direct quotation of some works of him, including The Red Tower in Halle, Two Women in the Street and Five Women in the Street. The reproduction in the frames of specific works of art, the image distortion, even the make-up of actors resume then aesthetic elements first developed by Murnau and are intended to convey to the viewer a sense of anxiety compared to the reality, to the contemporary society, to the city life, even manifesting an inner struggle, that has united Kirchner and Murnau itself.

description: Twists are defects that are used to encode and process quantum information in topological codes like surface and color codes. Color codes can host three basic types of twists viz., charge-permuting, color-permuting and domino twists. In this paper, we study domino twists from the viewpoint of computation. Specifically, we give a systematic construction for domino twists in qubit color codes. We also present protocols for measurement of logical qubits. Finally, we show that all Clifford gates can be implemented by braiding twists.

description: To conceive an art which was able to change everyday life was the main aim of Situationism, an artistic avant-garde active in the Europe of the 60s. The Situationism’s members tried to get the realization and suppression of art through the use of détournement. As a result they got a baroque aesthetic instead of a modern one.

Reliability-Based Design Optimization Incorporating Extended Optimal Uncertainty Quantification

description: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) approaches aim to identify the best design of an engineering problem, whilst the probability of failure (PoF) remains below an acceptable value. Thus, the incorporation of the sharpest bounds on the PoF under given constraints on the uncertain input quantities strongly strenghtens the significance of RBDO results, since unjustified assumptions on the input quantities are avoided. In this contribution, the extended Optimal Uncertainty Quantification framework is embedded within an RBDO context in terms of a double loop approach. By that, the mathematically sharpest bounds on the PoF as well as on the cost function can be computed for all design candidates and compared with acceptable values. The extended OUQ allows the incorporation of aleatory as well as epistemic uncertainties, where the definition of probability density functions is not necessarily required and just given data on the input can be included. Specifically, not only bounds on the values themselves, but also bounds on moment constraints can be taken into account. Thus, inadmissible assumptions on the data can be avoided, while the optimal design of a problem can be identified. The capability of the resulting framework is firstly shown by means of a benchmark problem under the influence of polymorphic uncertainties. Afterwards, a realistic engineering problem is analyzed, where the positioning of laser-hardened lines within a steel sheet for a car crash structure are optimized.
