Dispersion in time and space: what propagating optical pulses in time (& not space) forces us to confront
Creators: name: Kinsler, Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I derive a temporally propagated uni-directional optical pulse equation valid in the few cycle limit. Temporal propagation is advantageous because it naturally preserves causality, unlike the competing spatially propagated models. The exact coupled bi-directional equations that this approach generates can be efficiently approximated down to a uni-directional form in cases where an optical pulse changes little over one optical cycle. They also permit a direct term-to-term comparison of the exact bi-directional theory with its corresponding approximate uni-directional theory. Notably, temporal propagation handles dispersion in a different way, and this difference serves to highlight existing approximations inherent in spatially propagated treatments of dispersion. Accordingly, I emphasise the need for future work in clarifying the limitations of the dispersion conversion required by these types of approaches; since the only alternative in the few cycle limit may be to resort to the much more computationally intensive full Maxwell equation solvers.

description: By using the powerful separation technique of capillary gas chromatography combined with the selectivity of mass spectrometric detection, muramic acid was not detectable in purified elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci Cal 10 (less than or equal to 0.006%) or C. trachomatis serovar E (less than or equal to 0.02%). This confirms previous reports which suggested the absence of a typical peptidoglycan in Chlamydia spp.

Rassismus

description: Die vorliegende Bachelor-Thesis setzt sich mit den Lebensbedingungen von vorläufig aufgenommenen Menschen in der Schweiz auseinander und untersucht den Einfluss von rassistischen Ausgrenzungsmechanismen auf deren Integration. Aufbauend auf diesen Erkenntnissen werden Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Sozialarbeiter*innen eruiert. Das Forschungsinteresse geht auf den bestehenden Diskurs bezüglich der Ungleichbehandlung von geflüchteten Menschen in der Schweiz zurück. Sozialarbeiter*innen haben angesichts der sozialen Gerechtigkeit den Auftrag, Exklusion aufgrund von Diskriminierung zurückzuweisen und ungerechte Praktiken aufzudecken. Gleichzeitig sollen sie im Handlungsfeld Migration, gerahmt von Politik und Gesetzen, integrationsfördernd arbeiten. Daraus ergeben sich folgende Fragestellungen: Inwiefern wird die Integration von vorläufig aufgenommenen Menschen in der Schweiz durch rassistische Ausgrenzungsmechanismen gehemmt? Welche konkreten Handlungsmöglichkeiten bestehen für Sozialarbeiter*innen, um auf erkannte rassistische Ausgrenzungsmechanismen zu reagieren? Es wird ein Analyseraster entworfen, anhand dessen ausgewählte gesetzliche Grundlagen sowie Studien und Berichte zu Lebensbedingungen von vorläufig aufgenommenen Personen in integrationsrelevanten Bereichen auf rassistische Ausgrenzungsmechanismen hin untersucht werden. Die daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden mit dem Integrationsverständnis von Christine Riegel in Verbindung gebracht. Danach findet eine theoretische Rahmung für das sozialarbeiterische Handeln mit geflüchteten Menschen statt, indem Widersprüche zwischen professionellen Ansprüchen und Grenzen sowie weitere Spannungsfelder aufgezeigt werden. Um innerhalb dieser Spannungsfelder Handlungsmöglichkeiten eruieren zu können, wird die Theorie der rassismuskritischen Sozialen Arbeit eingeführt. Empowerment und Powersharing dienen als handlungsleitende Konzepte. Abschliessend werden drei konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Sozialarbeiter*innen formuliert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Integration von vorläufig aufgenommenen Personen zwar gefordert, diese jedoch paradoxerweise durch gegenwärtige Rechtsbestimmungen, Diskurse, Vorurteile, Otheringprozesse und Entwertungen gehemmt wird. Für Sozialarbeiter*innen bestehen nur beschränkte Handlungsmöglichkeiten, um darauf zu reagieren. Zudem setzt rassismuskritisches Handeln ein Verständnis von Rassismus als gesamtgesellschaftliches Verhältnis sowie Ressourcen seitens der involvierten Institutionen voraus.

Subsequently, CD11b+ cells were simultaneously analyzed and sorted by flow cytometry. Total CD11b+ cells were identified by forward scatter (FSC) and sideward scatter (SSC) (A), and cell-doublets were removed by SSC width and SSC height gating (B). From these cells, we discriminated macrophages based on their surface marker expression of CD45highCD11bhigh (C). Macrophages were sorted for downstream experiments (D). Plots (E)-(F) show the distribution of microglia (CD45intermCD11bhigh) in comparison to macrophages.

description: Accidental nasopharyngeal colonization of a laboratory worker by a human disease isolate of Neisseria meningitidis allowed us to examine the variation in expression of outer membrane components and the host humoral response over time. There were quantitative differences in class 1 outer membrane protein expression in nasopharyngeal isolates obtained at different times. Isolates also showed phase variation of all four class 5 outer membrane proteins produced by the colonizing strain. After colonization, we detected new host serum immunoglobulin G antibodies directed against class 1, class 5, and H.8 outer membrane proteins.

description: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has the potentialto revolutionize traditional teaching and learning methods. AI canoffer personalized learning experiences, streamline administrative tasks,enhance feedback mechanisms, and provide robust data analysis. Numerousstudies have demonstrated the positive impact of AI on both studentoutcomes and teacher efficiency. However, caution must be exercisedwhen implementing AI in education, considering potential risks and ethicaldilemmas. It is essential to use AI as a tool to support human educatorsrather than replace them entirely. The adoption of AI in educationholds the promise of creating more inclusive and effective learning environments,catering to students of diverse backgrounds and abilities. AsAI technology to advance, the education sector can anticipateeven more innovative applications, further shaping the future of learning.This abstract provides an overview of the multifaceted landscape of AI ineducation, highlighting its potential benefits, associated challenges, andthe importance of responsible integration

Psychische Beeinträchtigung

description: In der Schweiz bieten verschiedene Institutionen Wohnplätze für Menschen mit psychischen Beeinträchtigungen an, die nicht selbstständig leben wollen oder können. Fachpersonen dieser Institutionen unterstützen die Bewohnenden unter anderem in den Bereichen Gesundheit und Freizeitgestaltung. Wie aus Studien hervorgeht, kann Bewegung einen positiven Einfluss auf die psychische Gesundheit haben. Demnach wäre es möglich, mithilfe von Bewegung gleichzeitig an den beiden Bereichen Freizeitgestaltung und Gesundheit zu arbeiten. Daher erscheint eine Förderung der Bewegung in Wohn-gemeinschaften für psychisch beeinträchtigte Menschen zur Verbesserung ihrer psychischen Gesundheit angezeigt. Bislang fehlten zum einen Erkenntnisse zur Förderung der psychischen Gesundheit durch Bewegung, zum anderen erscheint der Bedarf vorhanden zu sein, Begleitung bei der Umsetzung dieser Erkenntnisse zu erhalten. Daher wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit der Frage nachgegangen, wie die psychische Gesundheit in Wohngemeinschaften für psychisch beeinträchtigte Menschen durch Bewegung und körperliche Aktivität gefördert werden kann. Die Beantwortung dieser Fragestellung erfolgt im Rahmen einer theoretischen Arbeit und beinhaltet vier Schritte. Zuerst wird die Lebenswelt von Wohngemeinschaften für psychisch beeinträchtigte Menschen anhand der lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit rekonstruiert. Im zweiten Schritt wird die Thematik der psychischen Gesundheit durch Bewegung beleuchtet. Als dritter Schritt werden die ersten beiden Teile zusammengeführt, wobei Ansatzpunkte zur Verbindung der beiden Bereiche entstehen. Die Erkenntnisse daraus werden im letzten Schritt genutzt, um einen Leitfaden zu erstellen. Dieser soll in Wohngemeinschaften tätige Fachpersonen dabei unterstützen, die Erkenntnisse umzusetzen. Der Leitfaden ist einerseits Produkt der vorliegenden Arbeit und beantwortet andererseits die Fragestellung. Er beinhaltet die Abhandlung bedeutender Erkenntnisse zur Förderung der psychischen Gesundheit durch Bewegung. Zudem schlägt er eine mögliche Vorgehensweise zur Umsetzung der Bewegung vor, die mit den Bewohnenden absolviert werden kann. Diese ist in vier Phasen gegliedert: Ankommen/Beziehungsaufbau, Motivation, Volition und Integration in den Alltag. Als Abschluss des Leitfadens werden Aspekte der lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit, die bei der gesamten Umsetzung von psychischer Gesundheit durch Bewegung beachtet werden sollten, in Form von Notizzetteln erläutert.
Evidence for peptidoglycan absorption in rats with experimental small bowel bacterial overgrowth.

description: Surgical creation of jejunal self-filling blind loops (SFBL) causes small bowel bacterial overgrowth which is associated with hepatobiliary inflammation in the susceptible Lewis and Wistar rat strains. Since hepatic injury occurs when small bowel anaerobic bacterial concentrations are increased 4 to 6 log10 units per ml and hepatic bacterial cultures are negative, we postulate that the inflammation is caused by absorption of phlogistic cell wall polymers originating from bacteria within the loop. To demonstrate absorption of bacterial cell wall polymers, we measured plasma and hepatic levels of immunoreactive peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS) following intraluminal injection as well as anti-PG antibodies as an indirect measure of absorption and/or accumulation of endogenous PG. PG-PS purified from group A streptococci was detected in plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after intraluminal injection; rats with SFBL showed significantly more uptake into plasma and the liver than sham-operated rats or SFBL rats which were treated with metronidazole (P less than 0.025). Total plasma immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, and IgM levels did not differ among sham-operated rats and those with self-emptying blind loops or SFBL, but plasma anti-PG IgA (P less than 0.05), IgG, and IgM (P less than 0.01) levels were increased in rats with SFBL. Metronidazole and tetracycline prevented the elevation of anti-PG antibody, but gentamicin and polymyxin B did not. Anti-lipid A, anti-soy protein, and anti-chow antibodies in plasma were not consistently increased in rats with SFBL indicating the lack of a generalized antibody response to luminal antigens. These data suggest that PG from normal flora bacteria is absorbed from the intestinal lumen and that mucosal injury and/or increased luminal concentrations of PG, such as those induced by small bowel bacterial overgrowth, lead to enhanced absorption of potentially inflammatory bacterial polymers.

description: This investigation is purely experimental and was conducted to establish the polarization conditions of the electro-magnetic waves which are radiated from a high-frequency oscillator. As far as known, this is the first direct survey of the radiated field in the immediate vicinity of a short-wave generator. For this set of experiments a new type of detector has been used which has shown itself admirably adapted to the problem, and in fact can be said to play the same role for radio waves as the Nicol prism does for light. By means of it some interesting interference phenomena have been noted and some additional light has been thrown upon "fading","skip distance", and "beam sending"

description: Objectives. Computer use, as in typing, might contribute to trapezius myalgia (TM) development by increasing upper trapezius (UT) muscle fatigue. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether 10 min of performing a typing task by a population at risk would show significant changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) measurements. Supported and unsupported forearms postures are compared. Methods. Sixteen asymptomatic volunteers with minimum daily use of a computer of 5 h were randomized into two groups: fully supported forearms (n = 8) and unsupported forearms (n = 8). The protocol consisted of 10 min of a typing task, and the workstation was set according to the usual participant profile. sEMG and PPT readings were collected from both UT muscles. Results. PPT and sEMG readings were not significantly different among the two groups. Supported forearms had less reduction of PPT and a smaller increase in electrical activity. Conclusions. Ten minutes of typing seems insufficient to observe any significant changes that could lead to TM development.

description: We examined the heat shock response of the pathogenic spirochetes Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Leptospira interrogans and certain saprophytic spirochetes. Cellular proteins synthesized after shifts to higher temperatures were [35S]methionine labeled and analyzed by gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Only T. pallidum failed to exhibit an obvious heat shock response. GroEL and DnaK homologs were identified in the various species, although these proteins were not thermoinducible in T. pallidum or Treponema denticola. DNA hybridization studies indicate that spirochetal groEL and dnaK genes are highly conserved.

description: Objectives. This study was conducted to estimate the risk of return to work for people who experience symptoms of depression based on the pool of prospective data. Methods. All online articles in PubMed and Scopus which were accessible before November 2019 were searched. The odds ratios of each of the studies were pooled together to obtain an overall odds ratio. The pool of studies was with random effects. The analysis was performed based on the depression symptoms scale, type of disease and duration of follow-up. Two other aspects were examined in the analysis, one being the bias in the publication of studies and the other being the level of heterogeneity that was examined. Results. Thirty-five studies were selected for the meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratio indicates that the odds of return to work in people with depressive symptoms is 31% lower than in those without depressive symptoms. The funnel plot shows that there is asymmetry. The Egger test result was significant (p < 0.001) and there is publication bias. Conclusion. Depression symptoms after sick leave due to physical illness is a risk factor for not returning to work.

description: A clone expressing a 35.5-kDa recombinant treponemal protein was isolated from a genomic DNA library constructed from Treponema pallidum street strain 14. Polyclonal antiserum raised against the recombinant protein reacted with a corresponding native protein of comparable size in T. pallidum that is specific to the pathogenic treponemes. Radiolabeling of the recombinant protein with [3H]palmitate demonstrated that it is lipid modified. Like other recently characterized T. pallidum lipoproteins, the 35.5-kDa lipoprotein partitioned into the detergent phase from T. pallidum cells fractionated with Triton X-114, suggesting that it is an integral membrane protein. Processing of the recombinant 35.5-kDa lipoprotein from a precursor form to a smaller mature form was not evident in pulse-chase experiments. However, pretreatment of Escherichia coli cells expressing the 35.5-kDa lipoprotein with inhibitors of protein processing or translocation revealed the existence of a higher-molecular-mass precursor. Gene fusion studies with the transposon TnphoA demonstrated the presence of an export signal in the 35.5-kDa lipoprotein that promotes the extracytoplasmic localization of a 35.5-kDa lipoprotein-PhoA hybrid.

description: Objectives. Errors due to human activities in any operation are analyzed using human reliability analysis in which the principal step is to identify potential human errors followed by quantification and analysis of the error. This work intends to apply a methodology for identifying human errors and to prioritize the risk associated with them in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) unloading operation. Methods. The methodology uses hierarchical task analysis which provides the basic framework, along with a systematic human error reduction and prediction approach which aids in identification and categorization of the errors associated with each task with the help of predefined error taxonomy. Also, in order to quantify the risk associated with each identified error, fuzzy failure mode and effect analysis has been adopted. To rank and prioritize the risk associated with each identified error where the individual constituent components are non-commensurable in nature, the VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje method has been incorporated. Results and conclusions. Applicability of the methodology presented will help comprehend the severity of risk corresponding to each error at different levels, and the ranking mechanism thus developed in this work aids to prioritize the action to minimize the likelihood of errors.
Recombinant Escherichia coli clones expressing Chlamydia trachomatis gene products attach to human endometrial epithelial cells.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: To identify Chlamydia trachomatis genes involved in attachment to host cells, a chlamydial genomic library was screened on the basis of binding characteristics by two methods. In the whole-cell screen, individual recombinant Escherichia coli clones were assayed for adherence to eukaryotic cells. In the membrane-binding screen, each recombinant colony of E. coli was treated with CHCl3 and assayed for binding to purified, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilized, 35S-labeled eukaryotic membrane material. Initial screening with McCoy cells was refined by using HEC-1B cells, a human endometrial epithelial cell line, which discriminate among recombinants adhering to McCoy cells. Some recombinants demonstrate significantly greater adherence to HEC-1B cells than to McCoy cells and appear, by transmission electron microscopy, to associate with electron-dense areas of the epithelial cell plasma membrane, resembling coated pits. Recombinants positive by one or both screening methods were examined by Southern and Western (immunoblot) analyses, which revealed the presence of chlamydial sequences inserted in the plasmids and the expression of novel 18-, 28-, and approximately 82 kDa, and perhaps of 18 Maxicell analysis of selected recombinants confirmed that the proteins of 28 and approximately 82 kDa, and perhaps of 18 kDa, are plasmid encoded. Antiserum generated against the recombinant approximately 82-kDa protein reacted in Western analysis with a similar-sized protein from C. trachomatis serovar E elementary bodies (EB) and reticulate bodies, serovar L2 EB, and C. psittaci EB. E. coli JM109(pPBW58) contains a 6.7-kb plasmid insert which encodes proteins of all three sizes. Under a number of different conditions in the whole-cell attachment assay--i.e., at 4 degrees C, in Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-free medium, in the presence of trypsin or dextran sulfate, and with rabbit aortic endothelial cells--the binding specificity of JM109(pPBW58) parallels that of C. trachomatis EB. Finally, the adherence phenotype of E. coli JM109(pPBW58) correlates directly with the presence of the recombinant plasmid; the phenotype is lost concurrently with loss of the recombinant plasmid, and the into E. coli JM109. The role of the 18-, 28-, and approximately 82-kDa proteins in mediating attachment, whether they act in concert as a complex or individually, has yet to be determined.

Eine kritische Betrachtung der aktuellen Ausrichtung der Pflegekinderaufsicht

description: Die aktuelle Ausrichtung der Tätigkeit der Pflegekinderaufsicht wird in Fachkreisen zunehmend kritisiert und als unzeitgemäss bezeichnet. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll sie deshalb aus der fachlichen Perspektive der Sozialen Arbeit kritisch hinterfragt und mögliche Verbesserungen aufgezeigt werden. Zu diesem Zweck wurden durch Literaturstudium Anforderungen an eine gute Begleitung von Pflegeverhältnissen abgeleitet. Daraus und aus vier mit Pflegekinderaufsichtspersonen geführten Interviews ergaben sich drei zentrale Schlüsselkriterien für eine leistungsfähige Pflegekinderhilfe. Die Bewertung der aktuellen Ausrichtung der Pflegekinderaufsichts-Tätigkeit aufgrund dieser drei Schlüsselkriterien ergab ein ernüchterndes Bild: Unter den heutigen Rahmenbedingungen kann eine Fachperson kaum vertrauensvolle Beziehungen zu den am Pflegeverhältnis Beteiligten aufbauen, hat schlechte Chancen für eine ganzheitliche Wahrnehmung von Pflegeverhältnissen und findet, insbesondere in den Kantonen Bern und Aargau, schlechte Bedingungen für den Aufbau der notwendigen Wissensbestände vor. Damit stellt sich die Frage, ob die Pflegekinderaufsicht unter diesen Umständen ihre eigentliche Kernaufgabe, die Sicherstellung des Kindeswohles im Pflegeverhältnis, erfüllen kann. Ausgehend von den Ursachen dieser Mängel und entlang einer alternativen Pflegekinderaufsichts-Konzeption aus Deutschland werden mögliche Verbesserungen, beispielsweise eine Regionalisierung mit gleichzeitiger Anreicherung der Tätigkeit, skizziert.

The main result is the computation of the $p$-adic syntomic regulators of these classes. As a consequence we prove many cases of the Perrin-Riou conjecture for Rankin--Selberg convolutions of cusp forms.

description: Menschen mit lebensbegleitender kognitiver Beeinträchtigung, die sich in der Lebensphase Alter befinden, sind in ihrer Teilhabe an unterschiedlichen Lebensbereichen eingeschränkt. Dazu gehört auch der Lebensbereich der Freizeit. Dies widerspricht der gleichberechtigten Teilhabe von Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen an der Gesellschaft, die auch in der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention als Anspruch festgehalten wird. Die vorliegende Bachelor-Thesis hat das Erkenntnisinteresse, den Bedarf an Teilhabemöglichkeiten in der Freizeit von Menschen mit lebensbegleitender kognitiver Beeinträchtigung im Alter zwischen 65 und 80 Jahren zu ermitteln. Daraus werden Handlungsempfehlungen für die Soziale Arbeit abgeleitet. Um den Bedarf an Teilhabemöglichkeiten in der Freizeit von älteren Menschen mit lebensbegleitender kognitiver Beeinträchtigung zu ermitteln, wurde eine empirische Untersuchung in Form von drei leitfadengestützten Interviews mit über 65-jährigen Menschen mit lebensbegleitender kognitiver Beeinträchtigung durchgeführt. Es wurden Bedarfe an Freizeitaktivitäten und sozialen Netzwerken sowie Wünsche diesbezüglich ermittelt. In einem weiteren Schritt wurden die methodischen Ansätze der Partizipation, Sozialraumorientierung, Biographiearbeit sowie die Zukunftswerkstatt diskutiert und danach beurteilt, inwiefern diese bei der Erfüllung des Bedarfs unterstützend wirken können. Auch wenn durch die befragten Personen kein konkreter Bedarf geäussert wurde, kann nicht davon ausgegangen werden, dass dies repräsentativ für die Adressat*innengruppe der Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen ist. Es ergaben sich Hinweise auf eingeschränkte Handlungsspielräume in der Freizeit. Die von den befragten Personen genannten Freizeitaktivitäten weisen eine hohe Ähnlichkeit auf und die sozialen Netzwerke sind eher klein. Um die Auswahl- und Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu erhöhen und damit die Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen im Alter in ihrer Teilhabe in der Freizeit zu fördern, wurde ein Entwurf für einen niederschwelligen, inklusiven Quartiertreff entwickelt. Es wurden die individuelle Förderung der Interessensentwicklung sowie die Ausgestaltung von konkreten partizipativen Freizeitangeboten als zentral begründet.

description: In this paper we focus our attention on small-to-intermediate N-body systems that are, initially, distributed uniformly in space and dynamically cool (virial ratios $Q=2T/|Ω|$ below ~0.3). In this work, we study the mass segregation that emerges after the initial violent dynamical evolution. At this scope, we ran a set of high precision N-body simulations of isolated clusters by means of HiGPUs, our direct summation N-body code. After the collapse, the system shows a clear mass segregation. This (quick) mass segregation occurs in two phases: the first shows up in clumps originated by sub-fragmentation before the deep overall collapse; this segregation is partly erased during the deep collapse to re-emerge, abruptly, during the second phase, that follows the first bounce of the system. In this second stage, the proper clock to measure the rate of segregation is the dynamical time after virialization, which (for cold and cool systems) may be significantly different from the crossing time evaluated from initial conditions. This result is obtained for isolated clusters composed of stars of two different masses (in the ratio $m_h/m_l=2$), at varying their number ratio, and is confirmed also in presence of a massive central object (simulating a black hole of stellar size). Actually, in stellar systems starting their dynamical evolution from cool conditions, the fast mass segregation adds to the following, slow, secular segregation which is collisionally induced. The violent mass segregation is an effect persistent over the whole range of N ($128 \leq N \leq 1024$) investigated, and is an interesting feature on the astronomical-observational side, too. The semi-steady state reached after virialization corresponds to a mass segregated distribution function rather than that of equipartition of kinetic energy per unit mass as it should result from violent relaxation.

description: Urbane Räume widerspiegeln gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse und lösen aufgrund personaler, sozialräumlicher sowie gesamtgesellschaftlicher Gegebenheiten Unsicherheiten und Ängste aus. Das Unsicherheitsempfinden im urbanen Raum hat insbesondere für marginalisierte Menschen schwerwiegende soziale, psychische und wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen zur Folge. Die Gemeinwesenarbeit ist im urbanen Raum tätig und hat die Möglichkeit, diesen gemeinsam mit der Bevölkerung mitzugestalten. Aus den Handlungsmaximen der Sozialen Arbeit lässt sich ableiten, dass sich die Gemeinwesenarbeit für die Förderung der Gleichberechtigung aller Menschen und für die Lösung von strukturellen Problemen einsetzen muss. Die vorliegende Bachelor-Thesis geht daher der Frage nach, welchen Beitrag die Gemeinwesenarbeit leisten kann, um das Sicherheitsempfinden von marginalisierten Menschengruppen im urbanen Raum zu fördern. Damit wird das Ziel verfolgt, auf der Grundlage von wissenschaftlicher Literatur Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die Gemeinwesenarbeit zu formulieren. Die zentralen Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Bachelor-Thesis stellen Empfehlungen für die Soziale Arbeit im Handlungsfeld der Gemeinwesenarbeit dar. Fachpersonen der Gemeinwesenarbeit sollen eine kritische, intersektional-feministische und selbstreflektierte Haltung entwickeln und einnehmen. Das Aufzeigen von Ressourcen, Problemen und Dynamiken im urbanen Raum und die Förderung von sozialen Netzwerken stellen weitere Handlungsmöglichkeiten dar. Die Gemeinwesenarbeit soll sich bei der Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Sicherheitsmassnahmen beteiligen, um die Bedürfnisse, Interessen und Anliegen von marginalisierten Menschen in die Gestaltung des urbanen Raums miteinzubeziehen. Sie muss gesellschaftliche Macht- und Herrschaftsverhältnisse aufzeigen sowie dekonstruieren und sich über den eigenen Handlungsspielraum bewusst sein. Die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Akteur*innen im urbanen Raum ist zentral. Mit diesen Handlungsmöglichkeiten kann die Gemeinwesenarbeit einen Beitrag leisten, um das Sicherheitsempfinden von marginalisierten Menschengruppen im urbanen Raum zu fördern.
Phase diagram of the hexagonal lattice quantum dimer model: Order parameters, ground-state energy, and gaps

description: The phase diagram of the quantum dimer model on the hexagonal (honeycomb) lattice is computed numerically, extending on earlier work by Moessner, Sondhi, and Chandra. The different ground state phases are studied in detail using several local and global observables. In addition, we analyze imaginary-time correlation functions to determine ground state energies as well as gaps to the first excited states. This leads in particular to a confirmation that the intermediary so-called plaquette phase is gapped -- a point which was previously advocated with general arguments and some data for an order parameter, but required a more direct proof. On the technical side, we describe an efficient world-line quantum Monte Carlo algorithm with improved cluster updates that increase acceptance probabilities by taking account of potential terms of the Hamiltonian during the cluster construction. The Monte Carlo simulations are supplemented with variational computations.

Density Functional Theory

description: Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials composed of inorganic and organic structural building units (SBUs). Over the last several decades, interest in MOFs has grown considerably partially due to their promising capabilities for carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. This is mostly due to their tunable pore chemistry, high internal surface area and unique structural diversity. This thesis focuses on computational methods that were used to analyze and organize a database of hypothetical structures to facilitate MOF discovery. The work done is detailed in two main parts. In the first part of the thesis, a topologically diverse hypothetical MOF database, containing over 300,000 structures, is screened using simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) strings to identify SBUs in each structure. The structures in the database are then renamed according to the SBUs identified by the SMILES strings algorithm. The renaming of the structures allows users to have a good idea of the geometrical and topological distribution of the database. Furthermore, a quick and reliable test is developed to identify structures with incorrect bonding patterns/missing hydrogen. In the second part of the thesis, density functional theory (DFT) - derived charges are generated for each structure in the hypothetical MOF database. Using these charges, the CO₂/N₂ selectivity is calculated and compared with the selectivity values obtained from another charge generating method, split-charge equilibration (SQE), and it is determined that there is good agreement, r = 0.96, between the two methods. A machine learning model is then developed to identify relationships between geometrical features and CO₂/N₂ selectivity.

description: The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series computes the quantity \begin{equation*} Z(X,Y)=\ln\left( e^X e^Y \right) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty z_n(X,Y), \end{equation*} where $X$ and $Y$ are not necessarily commuting, in terms of homogeneous multinomials $z_n(X,Y)$ of degree $n$. (This is essentially equivalent to computing the so-called Goldberg coefficients.) The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series is a general purpose tool of wide applicability in mathematical physics, quantum physics, and many other fields. The Reinsch algorithm for the truncated series permits one to calculate up to some fixed order $N$ by using $(N+1)\times(N+1)$ matrices. We show how to further simplify the Reinsch algorithm, making implementation (in principle) utterly straightforward. This helps provide a deeper understanding of the Goldberg coefficients and their properties. For instance we establish strict bounds (and some equalities) on the number of non-zero Goldberg coefficients. Unfortunately, we shall see that the number of terms in the multinomial $z_n(X,Y)$ often grows very rapidly (in fact exponentially) with the degree $n$. We also present some closely related results for the symmetric product \begin{equation*} S(X,Y)=\ln\left( e^{X/2} e^Y e^{X/2} \right) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty s_n(X,Y). \end{equation*} Variations on these themes are straightforward. For instance, one can just as easily consider the series \begin{equation*} L(X,Y)=\ln\left( e^{X} e^Y e^{-X} e^{-Y}\right) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \ell_n(X,Y). \end{equation*} This type of series is of interest, for instance, when considering parallel transport around a closed curve. Several other related series are investigated.
