Gewerkschaften als Motoren der europäischen Integration: Der DGB und das soziale Europa von den Römischen Verträgen bis zu den Pariser Gipfelkonferenzen (1957 –1974)
Creators: name: Remeke, Stefan
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: In particular in the research of Niethammer or Ruhwedel in the 1970s it was stated that the trade unions in Europe participated in the proceeding European integration in a defensive way. The so-called “defensive integration” in terms of the 1950s to 1970s was therefore characterized by a lack of leading trade unions’ initiative and their insufficient engagement in the European unification. This article reconsiders a counter-position by analysing the results offered by recent research works. The development from the 1950s and the treaty of Rome to the 1970s and the increase in social questions is regarded with special notion on the foundation of the “European Trade Union Confederation” (ETUC/EGB) and the efforts of the “Confederation of German Trade Unions” (DGB). The evaluation of previously unconsidered sources and documents leads to the conclusion that at least the Confederation of German Trade Unions and their elite have to be perceived as a moving power on the road to a united Europe.

description: We analyze the impact of several multi-quark interaction channels on the properties of hybrid stars. Four and eight vector interactions were included in the $SU(3)$ NJL model to describe the quark matter, and all vector like interactions were investigated. The hybrid stars were built starting from an hadronic EoS that satisfy presently accepted nuclear matter properties and considering the quark model constrained by the vacuum properties of several light mesons. The interplay between the 8-quark vector interaction and the 4-quark isovector-vector interaction determine the size of the quark core and its strangeness content. The inclusion of a isovector-vector interaction is essential to obtain large $s$-quark contents and a smaller central speed of sound, although this interaction pushes the onset of quarks to larger densities. It is observed that low mass stars, with a mass below 1.4$M_\odot$, may contain a quark core but with small strangeness content. It is shown that the presently existing mass and tidal deformability constraints from NS observations allow for the existence of hybrid stars with a large strangeness content and large quark cores for binary mass ratios $q=M_2/M_1\gtrsim 0.85$.

Die Dekade der Herausforderungen: Deutsche Gewerkschaften zwischen europäischer Integration und nationalstaatlicher Reorganisation in den 1990er Jahren
Creators: name: Müller-Jentsch, Walther
Publisher: name: Moving the Social

description: During the 1990s, mainly two processes challenged German trade unions: The German unification process at the national level on the one hand and the accelerated dynamics of integration at the European level on the other. While the unions were able to develop adequate organisational and functional strategies for coping with the national unification, they can be regarded as latecomers within the European integration process, which developed a new dynamic at the beginning of the 1990s. This dynamic was fostered by the legal framework for the development of a social dimension and the single market – in fact crucial questions for the unions. However, the German unions’ reactions were rather sceptical and reluctant while they had to concentrate their attention on the German unification process at the same time. According to these developments the article deals with the question how far German trade union’s resources were occupied by the German unification process and to what extent this circumstance constricted their engagement towards the European level.

description: Stormwater has immense impacts on urban flooding and water quality, leaving the marginalized and the impoverished disproportionately impacted by and vulnerable to stormwater hazards. However, the environmental health concerns of socially and economically marginalized individuals are largely underestimated. Through regression analysis of data from three longitudinal surveys, this article examines if and how an individual's race, gender, and education level help predict one's concern about and willingness to participate in stormwater management. We found that people of color, women, and less-educated respondents had a greater willingness to participate in stormwater management than White, male, and more-educated respondents, and their concern about local stormwater hazards drove their willingness to participate. Our analysis suggests that physical exposure and high vulnerability to stormwater hazards may shape an individual's concern about and willingness to participate in stormwater management.

description: It is known that nuclear deformation plays an important role in inducing the halo structure in neutron-rich nuclei by mixing several angular momentum components. While previous theoretical studies on this problem in the literature assume axially symmetric deformation, we here consider non-axially symmetric deformations. With triaxial deformation, the $Ω$ quantum number is admixed in a single-particle wave function, where $Ω$ is the projection of the single-particle angular momentum on the symmetric axis, and the halo structure may arise even when it is absent with the axially symmetric deformation. In this way, the area of halo nuclei may be extended when triaxial deformation is considered. We demonstrate this idea using a deformed Woods-Saxon potential for nuclei with neutron number N=13 and 43.

description: We present the cosmological analysis of the Gauss-Bonnet quasi-dilaton massive gravity theory. This offers a gravitational theory with a non-zero graviton mass. We calculate the complete set of background equations of motion. Also, we obtain the self-accelerating background solutions and we present the constraints on parameters to indicate the correct sign of parameters. In addition, we analyse tensor perturbations and calculate the mass of graviton and find the dispersion relation of gravitational waves for two cases. Finally, we investigate the propagation of gravitational perturbation in the FLRW cosmology in the Gauss-Bonnet quasi-dilaton massive gravity.

description: The axion-electron coupling $g_{ae}$ is a generic feature of non-hadronic axion models. This coupling may induce a variety of observable signatures, particularly in astrophysical environments. Here, we revisit the calculation of the axion-electron bremsstrahlung and provide a general formulation valid for a non-relativistic plasma with any level of degeneracy and for any axion mass. We apply our result to the Sun, red giant stars and white dwarfs. In particular, we prove that the approximations used to evaluate the axion emissivity in red giants agree with the exact result within $10\%$, comparable with other uncertainties in these studies. In addition, this prescription allows the red giant and white dwarf bounds to be extended to massive axions.

description: The formation and evolution of galaxies is known to be sensitive to tidal processes leading to intrinsic correlations between their shapes and orientations. Such correlations can be measured to high significance today, suggesting that cosmological information can be extracted from them. Among the most pressing questions in particle physics and cosmology is the nature of dark matter. If dark matter is self-interacting, it can leave an imprint on galaxy shapes. In this work, we investigate whether self-interactions can produce a long-lasting imprint on intrinsic galaxy shape correlations. We investigate this observable at low redshift ($z<0.4$) using a state-of-the-art suite of cosmological hydro-dynamical simulations where the dark matter model is varied. We find that dark matter self-interactions induce a mass dependent suppression in the intrinsic alignment signal by up to 50\% out to ten's of mega-parsecs, showing that self-interactions can impact structure outside the very core of clusters. We find evidence that self-interactions have a scale-dependent impact on the intrinsic alignment signal that is sufficiently different from signatures introduced by differing baryonic physics prescriptions, suggesting that it is detectable with up-coming all-sky surveys.

description: WZW models live on a moduli space parameterized by current-current deformations. The moduli space defines an ensemble of conformal field theories, which generically have $N$ abelian conserved currents and central charge $c > N$. We calculate the average partition function and show that it can be interpreted as a sum over 3-manifolds. This suggests that the ensemble-averaged theory has a holographic dual, generalizing recent results on Narain CFTs. The bulk theory, at the perturbative level, is identified as $U(1)^{2N}$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to additional matter fields. From a mathematical perspective, our principal result is a Siegel-Weil formula for the characters of an affine Lie algebra.

description: Double strangeness $Ξ^{-}$ production in Au+Au collisions at 2, 4, and 6 GeV/nucleon incident beam energies is studied with the pure hadron cascade version of a multi-phase transport model. It is found that due to larger nuclear compression, the model with the soft equation of state (EoS) gives larger yields of both single strangeness ($K^{+}$ and $Λ+Σ^{0}$) and double strangeness $Ξ^{-}$. The sensitivity of the double strangeness $Ξ^{-}$ to the EoS is evidently larger than that of $K^{+}$ or $Λ+Σ^{0}$ since the phase-space distribution of produced $Ξ^{-}$ is more compact compared to those of the single strangeness. The larger sensitivity of the yields ratio of $Ξ^{-}$ to the EoS from heavy and light systems is kept compared to that of the single strangeness. The study of $Ξ^{-}$ production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides an alternative for the ongoing heavy-ion collision program at facilities worldwide for identifying the EoS at high densities, which is relevant to the investigation of the phase boundary and onset of deconfinement of dense nuclear matter.

description: Particle segregation is common in natural and industrial processes involving flowing granular materials. Complex, and seemingly contradictory, segregation phenomena have been observed for different boundary conditions and forcing. Using discrete element method simulations, we show that segregation of a single particle intruder can be described in a unified manner across different flow configurations. A scaling relation for the net segregation force is obtained by measuring forces on an intruder particle in controlled-velocity flows where gravity and flow kinematics are varied independently. The scaling law consists of two additive terms: a buoyancy-like gravity-induced pressure gradient term and a shear rate gradient term, both of which depend on the particle size ratio. The shear rate gradient term reflects a kinematics-driven mechanism whereby larger (smaller) intruders are pushed toward higher (lower) shear rate regions. The scaling is validated, without refitting, in wall-driven flows, inclined wall-driven flows, vertical silo flows, and free surface flows down inclines. Comparing the segregation force to the intruder weight results in predictions of the segregation direction that match experimental and computational results for various flow configurations.
Timeless Insights:  Ancient Indian Wisdom and Modern Scientific Breakthroughs

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The study draws evidences from classical Indian texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads and the Mahabharata, depicting how these ancient scriptures provide a rich foundation that bridges traditional knowledge with modern scientific advancements. It discusses in depth the contributions of renowned scholars such as Aryabhata, Kanada, Bhaskara II, Charaka, Panini, Patanjali and Sushruta, whose novel concepts have shaped contemporary scientific understanding. The paper highlights the subtle interconnections between ancient knowledge and contemporary fields such as biotechnology and life sciences. For example, while stem cell research is often viewed as a modern innovation, the story of Queen Gandhari and the sage Vyasa from the MahaBhārata hints at early concepts of cell culture and development. Similarly, the myth of the replacement of Lord Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant offers an ancient perspective on organ transplant practices that resonates with modern xenotransplantation techniques. In addition, this paper examines symbolic representations in Indian mythology, such as Ardhanarishvara, who symbolizes the unification of dualistic forces, similar to the genetic concept of non-disjunction. It also discusses Garbha Sanskar, an ancient practice that underlines the influence of parents’ mental states on foetal development, which parallels modern epigenetic theories.

By combining historical and contemporary perspectives, this study underscores the enduring relevance of ancient Indian wisdom. It calls for a renewed appreciation of traditional knowledge and its potential contributions to current scientific research and technological advancements.

description: We consider the exact time-evolution of a broad class of fermionic open quantum systems with both strong interactions and strong coupling to wide-band reservoirs. We present a nontrivial fermionic duality relation between the evolution of states (Schrödinger) and of observables (Heisenberg). We show how this highly nonintuitive relation can be understood and exploited in analytical calculations within all canonical approaches to quantum dynamics, covering Kraus measurement operators, the Choi-Jamiołkowski state, time-convolution and convolutionless quantum master equations and generalized Lindblad jump operators. We discuss the insights this offers into the divisibility and causal structure of the dynamics and the application to nonperturbative Markov approximations and their initial-slip corrections. Our results underscore that predictions for fermionic models are already fixed by fundamental principles to a much greater extent than previously thought.

description: The large-scale organization of the world economies is exhibiting increasingly levels of local heterogeneity and global interdependency. Understanding the relation between local and global features calls for analytical tools able to uncover the global emerging organization of the international trade network. Here we analyze the world network of bilateral trade imbalances and characterize its overall flux organization, unraveling local and global high-flux pathways that define the backbone of the trade system. We develop a general procedure capable to progressively filter out in a consistent and quantitative way the dominant trade channels. This procedure is completely general and can be applied to any weighted network to detect the underlying structure of transport flows. The trade fluxes properties of the world trade web determines a ranking of trade partnerships that highlights global interdependencies, providing information not accessible by simple local analysis. The present work provides new quantitative tools for a dynamical approach to the propagation of economic crises.

description: We investigate the coherence properties of individual nuclear spin quantum bits in diamond [Dutt et al., Science, 316, 1312 (2007)] when a proximal electronic spin associated with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is being interrogated by optical radiation. The resulting nuclear spin dynamics are governed by time-dependent hyperfine interaction associated with rapid electronic transitions, which can be described by a spin-fluctuator model. We show that due to a process analogous to motional averaging in nuclear magnetic resonance, the nuclear spin coherence can be preserved after a large number of optical excitation cycles. Our theoretical analysis is in good agreement with experimental results. It indicates a novel approach that could potentially isolate the nuclear spin system completely from the electronic environment.

description: We propose a method to study the epoch of reionization based on the possible observation of 2p--2s fine structure lines from the neutral hydrogen outside the cosmological H {\sc ii} regions enveloping QSOs and other ionizing sources in the reionization era. We show that for parameters typical of luminous sources observed at $z \simeq 6.3$ the strength of this signal, which is proportional to the H {\sc i} fraction, has a brightness temperature $\simeq 20 μK$ for a fully neutral medium. The fine structure line from this redshift is observable at $ν\simeq 1 \rm GHz$ and we discuss prospects for the detection with several operational and future radio telescopes. We also compute the characteristics of this signal from the epoch of recombination: the peak brightness is expected to be $\simeq 100 μK$; this signal appears in the frequency range 5-10 MHz. The signal from the recombination era is nearly impossible to detect owing to the extreme brightness of the Galactic emission at these frequencies.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine: a) similarities and differences between conceptions of second and third year college-based nursing students regarding effective clinical teachers; b) if either groups' opinion was affected by the instructor's contractual agreement; and c) if students' conceptions could provide a theoretical framework for further empirical research into clinical teacher effectiveness. Transcript analysis of the thirty interviews with second and third year students in a three year college based diploma nursing program revealed that students are capable of identifying factors which enhance their learning in the clinical area, although second and third year students differed somewhat in their perceptions of effective clinical teachers. Lastly, a significantly greater number of full-time faculty than part-time faculty were described as most effective [X²=8.66 (df=1) p.<.01].
On the acquisition of European Portuguese liquid consonants by L1-Mandarin learners

description: The present study aimed to investigate the developmental patterns of acquisition of the European Portuguese liquid consonants by L1-Mandarin speakers, and to examine the prosodic effect on L2 phonological acquisition. Fourteen L1-Mandarin learners participated in a picture-naming task and results showed that the alveolar lateral was produced accurately in branching/non-branching onset, while it was frequently vocalized in coda; the palatal lateral was produced as a Mandarin palatalised lateral nearly half of the time; the tap was acquired in coda before onset and the repair strategies were context-dependent: in non-target-like realisations, it was articulated as an alveolar lateral in onset but accommodated in diverse ways in coda (epenthesis, deletion, segmental repair); the uvular rhotic was acquired fairly well due to the L1-L2 allophonic overlap. Our results suggest that the degrees of difficulty in L2 segmental learning vary as a function of the distance between L1 and L2 categories and the syllable constituency effect observed in the acquisition of the Portuguese alveolar lateral and the tap could be attributed to L2-to-L1 allophonic category mapping and L1 phonotactic restrictions, respectively.

description: Exposure to the widely-used phthalate plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) has been shown to be closely related to an increased prevalence of allergic diseases in infants and juveniles. Earlier work in our laboratory found that DEHP-related anaphylactic responses could be ascribed to T-follicular helper (Tfh) cell hyperfunction directly. The Tfh cell, a newly identified CD4+ TH cell subset, until recently has been considered as a key player in humoral immunity. Tfh cells can respond to stimulation through various receptors. Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member-1 (SLAMF1, CD150) is a surface co-stimulatory receptor that can bind to an intracytoplasmic adaptor signaling lymphocytic activation molecule-associated protein (SAP) to initiate downstream signaling cascades, regulating some events of immune response. The present study explored the role of SLAMF1 in Tfh cell differentiation and cytokine secretion under the condition of DEHP exposure. Using a weanling mice model of DEHP gavage with ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization, it was found that DEHP acted as an immunoadjuvant to elevate SLAMF1 and SAP expression in host Tfh cells. Ex vivo studies of effects from DEHP exposure on Tfh cells from OVA-sensitized hosts showed that DEHP acted in an adjuvant-like manner to promote the expression of adaptor protein SAP, transcription factors Bcl-6 and c-MAF, and cytokines interleukin (IL)-21 and IL-4 in Tfh cells. Transfection of these Tfh cells with Slamf1 small interfering RNA prior to exposure to the DEHP attenuated the over-expression of these molecules that was caused by the DEHP. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that DEHP, via a SLAMF1-mediated pathway, can impact on Tfh cell differentiation and their ability to form select cytokines.

description: An exact analytic representation of the critical state of a current-carrying type-II superconductor strip located inside a cylindrical magnetic cavity of high permeability is derived. The obtained results show that, when the cavity radius is small, penetration of magnetic flux fronts is strongly reduced as compared to the situation in an isolated strip. From our generic representation it is possible to establish current profiles in closed cavities of various other geometries too by means of conformal mapping of the basic configuration addressed.

description: Genetic association data from national biobanks and large-scale association studies have provided new prospects for understanding the genetic evolution of complex traits and diseases in humans. In turn, genomes from ancient human archaeological remains are now easier than ever to obtain, and provide a direct window into changes in frequencies of trait-associated alleles in the past. This has generated a new wave of studies aiming to analyse the genetic component of traits in historic and prehistoric times using ancient DNA, and to determine whether any such traits were subject to natural selection. In humans, however, issues about the portability and robustness of complex trait inference across different populations are particularly concerning when predictions are extended to individuals that died thousands of years ago, and for which little, if any, phenotypic validation is possible. In this review, we discuss the advantages of incorporating ancient genomes into studies of trait-associated variants, the need for models that can better accommodate ancient genomes into quantitative genetic frameworks, and the existing limits to inferences about complex trait evolution, particularly with respect to past populations.

description: The aim of this paper is to identify the young protostellar counterparts associated to dust millimeter cores of the Vela Molecular Ridge Cloud D through new IR observations (H_2 narrow-band at 2.12 micron and N broad band at 10.4 micron) along with an investigation performed on the existing IR catalogues. The association of mm continuum emission with infrared sources from catalogues (IRAS, MSX, 2MASS), JHK data from the literature and new observations, has been established according to spatial coincidence, infrared colours and spectral energy distributions. Only 7 out of 29 resolved mm cores (and 16 out of the 26 unresolved ones) do not exhibit signposts of star formation activity. The other ones are clearly associated with: far-IR sources, H_2 jets or near-IR objects showing a high intrinsic colour excess. The distribution of the spectral indices pertaining to the associated sources is peaked at values typical of Class I objects, while three objects are signalled as candidates Class 0 sources. We remark the high detection rate (30%) of H_2 jets driven by sources located inside the mm-cores. They appear not driven by the most luminous objects in the field, but rather by less luminous objects in young clusters, testifying the co-existence of both low- and intermediate-mass star formation. The presented results reliably describe the young population of VMR-D. However, the statistical evaluation of activity vs inactivity of the investigated cores, even in good agreement with results found for other star forming regions, seems to reflect the limiting sensitivity of the available facilities rather than any property intrinsic to the mm-condensations.

description: We consider the symmetry resolution of relative entropies in the 1+1 dimensional free massless compact boson conformal field theory (CFT) which presents an internal $U(1)$ symmetry. We calculate various symmetry resolved Rényi relative entropies between one interval reduced density matrices of CFT primary states using the replica method. By taking the replica limit, the symmetry resolved relative entropy can be obtained. We also take the XX spin chain model as a concrete lattice realization of this CFT to perform numerical computation. The CFT predictions are tested against exact numerical calculations finding perfect agreement.

Global education in Canadian teacher education programs
Creators: name: Christensen, Kelvin Daryl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Global education is that focus of education which is concerned with coming to a better understanding of worldwide (i.e. multinational] perspectives, problems, issues, interdependencies and human values. It was initially found in North American educational systems after World War II and it became a major focus of attention in the 1970s. Some global education content can be found in the 1982 public school curricula of the ten Canadian provinces. There was no information in the educational literature concerning global education in Canadian teacher education programs and so this study was developed. In the late spring of this year a twelve-item questionnaire was mailed to the heads of the social studies departments (or equivalent] of those Canadian higher education institutions which offer teacher education at at least the bachelors degree level. Fifty-two such institutions were identified. Forty English-language and twelve French- language questionnaires were mailed out with appropriate cover letters explaining the study. Several weeks after the initial mailing a follow-up letter and an additional questionnaire were mailed to those institutions which had not yet responded. Replies were received from thirty-six of the fifty-two institutions. Eighteen of these identified global education courses at their institutions. More than fifty specific global education courses were identified, overall, and of these there were slightly more at the undergraduate than graduate level. Most courses were identified as being for pre-service rather than in-service teacher education. Only two non-credit courses (workshops) were identified. There was some indication that a few institutions plan to add one or two modules or courses on global education over the next few years. Information was also obtained concerning exchange programs, resource centers of information, and sources of funding for the promotion of global education in teacher education programs. The general conclusion of this study was that there appears to be a marginal to modest level of global education present in the teacher education programs across the country tin most of the provinces). A secondary and less solid conclusion of this study was that over the next three to five years it appears as though a global education emphasis in Canadian teacher education programs will either be maintained at present levels or will be increased slightly.

description: The multimessenger event GW170817/GRB 170817A confirmed that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers can produce short gamma-ray burst (SGRB) jets. This evidence promoted new investigations on the mechanisms through which a BNS merger remnant can launch such a powerful relativistic outflow and on the propagation of the latter across the surrounding post-merger environment. In particular, great strides have been made in jet propagation models, establishing connections between the initial jet launching conditions, including the incipient jet launching time (with respect to merger) and the injection parameters, and the observable SGRB prompt and afterglow emission. However, present semi-analytical models and numerical simulations (with one notable exception) adopt simple hand-made prescriptions to account for the post-merger environment, lacking a direct association with any specific merging BNS system. Here, we present the first three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics simulations of incipient SGRB jets propagating through a post-merger environment that is directly imported from the outcome of a previous general relativistic BNS merger simulation. Our results show that the evolution and final properties of the jet can be largely affected by the anisotropies and the deviations from axisymmetry and homologous expansion characterizing more realistic BNS merger environments. In addition, we find that the inclusion of the gravitational pull from the central compact object, often overlooked, can have a major impact. Finally, we consider different jet launching times referred to the same BNS merger model and discuss the consequences for the ultimate jet properties.

description: Hyperbolic materials offer a much wider freedom in designing optical properties of nanostructures than ones with isotropic and elliptical dispersion, both metallic or dielectric. Here, we present a detailed theoretical and numerical study of the unique optical properties of spherical nanoantennas composed of such materials. Hyperbolic nanospheres exhibit a rich modal structure that, depending on the polarization and direction of incident light, can exhibit either a full plasmonic-like response with multiple electric resonances, a single, dominant electric dipole or one with mixed magnetic and electric modes with an atypical reversed modal order. We derive resonance conditions for observing these resonances in the dipolar approximation and offer insight into how the modal response evolves with the size, material composition, and illumination. Specifically, the origin of the magnetic dipole mode lies in the hyperbolic dispersion and its existence is determined by two diagonal permittivity components of different sign. Our analysis shows that the origin of this unusual behavior stems from complex coupling between electric and magnetic multipoles, which leads to very strongly scattering or absorbing modes. These observations assert that hyperbolic nanoantennas offer a promising route towards novel light-matter interaction regimes.

description: Heating of neutral gas by energetic sources is crucial for the prediction of the 21 cm signal during the epoch of reionization (EoR). To investigate differences induced on statistics of the 21 cm signal by various source types, we use five radiative transfer simulations which have the same stellar UV emission model and varying combinations of more energetic sources, such as X-ray binaries (XRBs), accreting nuclear black holes (BHs) and hot interstellar medium emission (ISM). We find that the efficient heating from the ISM increases the average global 21~cm signal, while reducing its fluctuations and thus power spectrum. A clear impact is also observed in the bispectrum in terms of scale and timing of the transition between a positive and a negative value. The impact of XRBs is similar to that of the ISM, although it is delayed in time and reduced in intensity because of the less efficient heating. Due to the paucity of nuclear BHs, the behaviour of the 21~cm statistics in their presence is very similar to that of a case when only stars are considered, with the exception of the latest stages of reionization, when the effect of BHs is clearly visible. We find that differences between the source scenarios investigated here are larger than the instrumental noise of SKA1-low at $z \gtrsim 7-8$, suggesting that in the future it might be possible to constrain the spectral energy distribution of the sources contributing to the reionization process.

description: The role of bipolar jets in the formation of stars, and in particular how they are launched, is still not well understood. We probe the protostellar jet launching mechanism, via high resolution observations of the near-IR [FeII] 1.53,1.64 micron lines. We consider the bipolar jet from the Classical T Tauri star, DO Tau, & investigate jet morphology & kinematics close to the star, using AO-assisted IFU observations from GEMINI/NIFS. The brighter, blue-shifted jet is collimated quickly after launch. This early collimation requires the presence of magnetic fields. We confirm velocity asymmetries between the two jet lobes, & confirm no time variability in the asymmetry over a 20 year interval. This sustained asymmetry is in accordance with recent simulations of magnetised disk-winds. We examine the data for jet rotation. We report an upper limit on differences in radial velocity of 6.3 & 8.7 km/s for the blue & red-shifted jets, respectively. Interpreting this as an upper limit on jet rotation implies that any steady, axisymmetric magneto-centrifugal model of jet launching is constrained to a launch radius in the disk-plane of 0.5 & 0.3 au for the blue & red-shifted jets, respectively. This supports an X-wind or narrow disk-wind model. This pertains only to the observed high velocity [FeII] emission, & does not rule out a wider flow launched from a wider radius. We report detection of small amplitude jet axis wiggling in both lobes. We rule out orbital motion of the jet source as the cause. Precession can better account for the observations but requires double the precession angle, & a different phase for the counter-jet. Such non-solid body precession could arise from an inclined massive Jupiter companion, or a warping instability induced by launching a magnetic disk-wind. Overall, our observations are consistent with an origin of the DO Tau jets from the inner regions of the disk.
