description: Nowadays the sport related civic organizations form a special segment within the civic sector. In particular, the current situation of these organizations – who are operating in rural settlements – should be considered as special. In rural settlements the local sport related civic organizations by all means could be justified to make a difference on the basis of an essential aspect, that how they secure the funds from the external sources, and because of certain aspects it is closely related with the local politics. The purpose of our study was to investigate through the example of a small rural town in Hungary, that what kind of subsidies can the locally registered sport related civic organizations can get by focusing on the local football club’s results and the subsidies which were granted to the club between 2007 and 2015. We were also curious about, that is there any possible connection between the club’s performance and these certified subsidies.

description: We compute the gravitational action of a free massive Majorana fermion coupled to two-dimensional gravity on compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. The structure is similar to the case of the massive scalar. The small-mass expansion of the gravitational yields the Liouville action at zeroth order, and we can identify the Mabuchi action at first order. While the massive Majorana action is a conformal deformation of the massless Majorana CFT, we find an action different from the one given by the David-Distler-Kawai (DDK) ansatz.

description: We present a generating functional producing quark wave functions of all Fock states in the octet, decuplet and antidecuplet baryons in the mean field approximation, both in the rest and infinite momentum frames. In particular, for the usual octet and decuplet baryons we get the SU(6)-symmetric wave functions for their 3-quark component but with specific corrections from relativism and from additional quark-antiquark pairs. For the exotic antidecuplet baryons we obtain the 5-quark wave function.

description: Die Zukunft gehört den Kreativen. Die Literaturrecherche zeigt, dass die Forderung nach mehr Kreativität in alle gesellschaftlichen, ökonomischen, sozialen und politischen Bereiche hinein reicht. Pragmatische Kreativität beschreibt Bereiche wie Problemsensitivität, Problemlösungsbereitschaft und Ideenproduktion, bezogen auf die Lösung von Alltagsherausforderungen. Sie wird als förderbare Grundlage im Menschen definiert und gilt heute als Basiskompetenz für alle, denn sie betrifft sämtliche Bereiche unserer Lebenswelt. Kreativität als Gesamtsystem entfaltet sich in der Wechselwirkung der Faktoren Person, Umwelt und Prozess zu- und miteinander. An diese Befunde der aktuellen Forschung knüpft die vorliegende Masterarbeit an. Der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Kreativität und kindlichen Lernprozessen zeigt den Impact von Kreativität auf Lernen und Leistung in der Schule auf. Beim Durchlaufen kreativer Prozesse trainiert ein Kind seine Kreativität, es entwickelt gleichzeitig wichtige Bereiche der kognitiven Flexibilität und baut Fertigkeiten auf, die ihm helfen, sein Verhalten zu steuern (Inhibition). Als wichtigster kreativitätsfördernder Faktor im Schulkontext wurden die Pädagog_innen ermittelt. Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigen eine grosse Diskrepanz zwischen Einstellung, eigener Wahrnehmung und praktischem Verhalten von Lehrpersonen, was einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Kreativitätsförderung in der Schule hat. Kreativität als Konzept wird zwar bejaht, kreatives Verhalten von Kindern aber abgelehnt. Als mögliche Ursache wird mangelndes Wissen interpretiert und die Notwendigkeit von Lehrpersonen-Trainings wird betont. Die Erkenntnisse der Literaturrecherche wurden durch ein Experteninterview validiert. Auf der Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse leitete die Autorin die Konzeption eines Moduls zur Aus- und Weiterbildung von Pädagog_innen ab. Die empfohlene Ausbildung umfasst den Aufbau von Fachwissen über Kreativität und ihre Förderung und den Aufbau eigener kreativer Kompetenzen.

Endogenous growth, economic fluctuations and capital accumulation: 445-461

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Growth models, Asymmetric information
subject: E10

description: The work aims to remedy the shortcomings of previous growth models by examining imperfect information and financial constraints in a New Keynesian setting. Capital-market imperfections and related information asymmetries induce agents to be risk averse, and give rise to the net worth of firms and banks. Asymmetric information binds together banks’ lending and firms’ borrowing, effecting the aggregate amount of production and investment and potentially causing instability. The authors theorise that this effect on financial constraints is large and persistent enough to constitute an endogenous determination of cyclical fluctuations as well as of trend. JEL: E10

description: Future generations of radio interferometers targeting the 21\,cm signal at cosmological distances with $N\gg 1000$ antennas could face a significant computational challenge in building correlators with the traditional architecture, whose computational resource requirement scales as $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ with array size. The fundamental output of such correlators is the cross-correlation products of all antenna pairs in the array. The FFT-correlator architecture reduces the computational resources scaling to $\mathcal{O}(N\log{N})$ by computing cross-correlation products through a spatial Fourier transform. However, the output of the FFT-correlator is meaningful only when the input antenna voltages are gain- and phase-calibrated. Traditionally, interferometric calibration has used the $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ cross-correlations produced by a standard correlator. This paper proposes two real-time calibration schemes that could work in parallel with an FFT-correlator as a self-contained $\mathcal{O}(N\log{N})$ correlator system that can be scaled to large-N redundant arrays. We compare the performance and scalability of these two calibration schemes and find that they result in antenna gains whose variance decreases as $1/\log{N}$ with increase in the size of the array.
title: Parties to the conflict and third states's response on allowing and facilitating humanitarian relief in Gaza Strip and the West Bank
Creators: name: Rojas Loreto, Mariana De Los Angeles
Year: 2024

description: Der andauernde Konflikt im Gazastreifen, verschärft durch die Angriffe vom 7. Oktober, hat die kritischen Herausforderungen bei der Lieferung humanitärer Hilfe deutlich gemacht. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es grundlegend, die Vorgaben des internationalen Rechts zu diesem Thema zu prüfen. Diese Arbeit klärt die Verpflichtungen Israels und der Hamas als Parteien des Konflikts sowie der Drittstaaten hinsichtlich der Gewährung und Förderung von Hilfslieferungen, wobei der rechtliche Rahmen des Internationalen Humanitären Rechts und des Internationalen Menschenrechtsrechts analysiert wird. Durch eine kritische Analyse der Einhaltung dieser Verpflichtungen zeigt die Forschung erhebliche Eingriffe und das Fehlen legitimer Rechtfertigungen seitens der Konfliktparteien auf. Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass, obwohl die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen umfassend sind, ihre Anwendung inkonsistent ist, was zu schweren Folgen für die Zivilbevölkerung führt. Es wird auch darauf hingewiesen, dass Drittstaaten eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Erleichterung der Hilfe spielen und erklärt, warum Waffenstillstände allein nicht ausreichen, um die aktuellen humanitären Bedingungen zu verbessern. Die Arbeit schließt mit dem Hinweis, dass es im Krieg von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, humanitäre Bedürfnisse und militärische Notwendigkeiten auszubalancieren, um Zivilisten in hochriskanten Umgebungen wie dem Gazastreifen und dem Westjordanland zu schützen.
description: The ongoing conflict in Gaza, exacerbated by the 7 October attacks, has brought into sharp focus the critical challenges surrounding the delivery of humanitarian aid. In this light, it is fundamental to examine what international law dictates regarding the issue. This thesis clarifies the obligations of Israel and Hamas as parties to the conflict, as well as third states, in allowing and facilitating relief supplies, focusing on the legal scope of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law. Through a critical analysis of compliance with these obligations, the research reveals significant interferences and a lack of legitimate justification by the parties to the conflict, suggesting that while legal frameworks are comprehensive, their application is inconsistent, leading to severe consequences for the civilian population. It also points out that third states play a significant role in facilitating relief and explains why ceasefires alone are insufficient to improve current humanitarian conditions. The thesis concludes that, in conducting warfare, it is crucial to prioritize balancing humanitarian needs with military necessities to protect civilians in high-risk environments such as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Magnetically Controlled Spasmodic Accretion During Star Formation. I. Formulation of the Problem and Method of Solution

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004

description: We formulate the problem of the late accretion phase of the evolution of an isothermal magnetic disk surrounding a forming star. The evolution is described by the six-fluid MHD equations, accounting for the presence of neutrals, atomic and molecular ions, electrons, and neutral, positively, and negatively charged grains. Only the electron fluid is assumed to be attached to the magnetic field, in order to investigate the effect of the detachment of the ions from the magnetic field lines that begins at densities as low as 10^8 cm^-3. The "central sink approximation" is used to circumvent the problem of describing the evolution inside the opaque central region for densities greater than 10^11 cm^-3. In this way, the structure and evolution of the isothermal disk surrounding the forming star can be studied at late times without having to implement the numerically costly radiative transfer required by the physics of the opaque core. The mass and magnetic flux accumulating in the forming star arecalculated, as are their effects on the structure & evolution of the surrounding disk. The numerical method of solution first uses an adaptive grid and later, after a central region a few AU in radius becomes opaque, switches to a stationary but nonuniform grid with a central sink cell. It also involves an implicit time integrator, an advective difference scheme that possesses the transportive property, a second-order difference approximation of forces inside a cell, an integral approximation of the gravitational and magnetic fields, and tensor artificial viscosity that permits an accurate investigation of the formation and evolution of shocks in the neutral fluid.

description: We demonstrate the robust scale-invariance in the probability density function (PDF) of detrended healthy human heart rate increments, which is preserved not only in a quiescent condition, but also in a dynamic state where the mean level of heart rate is dramatically changing. This scale-independent and fractal structure is markedly different from the scale-dependent PDF evolution observed in a turbulent-like, cascade heart rate model. These results strongly support the view that healthy human heart rate is controlled to converge continually to a critical state.

Proximity-induced sequence of field transitions in Kitaev candidate BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$

description: We study field-induced phase transitions of the minimal exchange model proposed earlier for BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$, a candidate for Kitaev honeycomb model, using numerical minimization of classical spin clusters. We show that experimentally observed sequence of step-like transitions in magnetic field is realized in the phase diagram of the minimal model. Surprisingly, intermediate up-up-down plateau phase is stabilized only in the proximity of a double-zigzag$-$zigzag phase boundary. We systematically map out the region of stability of experimentally observed cascade of transitions and argue that BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$ exchange parameters are close to a region of strong phase competition, which can explain suppressed saturation field.

description: In this work we study the class of algebras satisfying a duality property with respect to Hochschild homology and cohomology, as in [VdB]. More precisely, we consider the class of algebras $A$ such that there exists an invertible bimodule $U$ and an integer number $d$ with the property $H^{\bullet}(A,M)\cong H_{d-\bullet}(A,U\ot_AM)$, for all $A$-bimodules $M$. We will show that this class is closed under localization and under smash products with respect to Hopf algebras satisfying also the duality property. We also illustrate the subtlety on dualities with smash products developing in detail the example $S(V)#G$, the crossed product of the symmetric algebra on a vector space and a finite group acting linearly on $V$.

description: This paper investigates the accessibility of cookie notices on websites for users with visual impairments (VI) via a set of system studies on top UK websites (n=46) and a user study (n=100). We use a set of methods and tools--including accessibility testing tools, text-only browsers, and screen readers, to perform our system studies. Our results demonstrate that the majority of cookie notices on these websites have some form of accessibility issues including contrast issues, not having headings, and not being read aloud immediately when the page is loaded. We discuss how such practises impact the user experience and privacy and provide a set of recommendations for multiple stakeholders for more accessible websites and better privacy practises for users with VIs. To complement our technical contribution we conduct a user study and finding that people with VIs generally have a negative view of cookie notices and believe our recommendations could help their online experience. We also find a disparity in how users wish to respond to cookie notices as apposed to how they do in reality.

description: Quantum computing is being extensively used in quantum chemistry, especially in simulating simple molecules and evaluating properties like the ground state energy, dipole moment, etc. The transformation of a molecular Hamiltonian from the fermionic space to the qubit space provides us with a series of Pauli strings and the energy calculation involves the evaluation of the expectation values of all these individual strings. This introduces a major bottleneck for applications of VQEs in quantum chemistry. Unlike the fermionic Hamiltonian, the terms in a qubit Hamiltonian are additive and the present paper exploits this property to describe a new approach for extracting information from the partial qubit Hamiltonian of simple molecules to design more efficient variational quantum eigensolvers. In the partial (qubit) Hamiltonian approach (PHA), the qubit Hamiltonian is studied term-by-term to understand their relative contributions to the overall energy and a partial Hamiltonian is constructed with fewer Pauli strings that can resolve the entire Hamiltonian. With PHA, we can simulate molecules at a much lower computational cost with a truncated Hamiltonian. Additionally, the outcomes of the measurements with PHA quench the error due to noise introduced by the quantum circuits. We have also demonstrated the application of PHA as an initialization technique, where the simple partial Hamiltonian can be used to find a suitable initial state for a more complex system. The results of this study have the potential to demonstrate the potential advancement in the field of quantum computing and its implementation in quantum chemistry.
title: Tackling change and uncertainty in credit scoring
Creators: name: Kelly, Mark Gerard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: Credit scoring methods summanse information on credit applicants. An assessment of creditworthiness is derived from this summary. This thesis is concerned with statistical methods of credit scoring. Much of the existing literature on credit scoring is concerned with comparing the predictive power of a wide variety of classification techniques. However, much of the published work concludes that classifier performance on credit data is relatively insensitive to the choice of statistical technique. Consequently, the techniques used in commercial credit scoring have remained broadly similar during recent years. This thesis investigates credit scoring from a more fundamental level, by considering the formulation of the credit problem. A review of the credit literature is given, focusing on areas that have been subjected to much recent research activity. Details of the data sets used throughout this thesis are provided and analysed using techniques common to the credit industry. Methods that capitalise on the uncertainty and flexibility in the definitions of the classes used to represent 'good' and 'bad' credit risks are proposed. Firstly, a class of models is described that permits the choice of class definition to be deferred until the time at which the classification is required. Secondly, a strategy for choosing a suitable definition which optimises some external criterion is introduced. In addition, an approach is presented that combats classifier deterioration resulting from the evolution of the underlying populations. This thesis is essentially concerned with the uncertainties and change inherent in credit scoring. We present novel ways in which these properties may be incorporated in the formulation of the credit problem.

description: The scaling law of entanglement entropy could undergo qualitative changes during the nonunitary evolution of a quantum many-body system. In this work, we uncover such entanglement phase transitions in one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasicrystals (NHQCs). We identify two types of entanglement transitions with different scaling laws and critical behaviors due to the interplay between non-Hermitian effects and quasiperiodic potentials. The first type represents a typical volume-law to area-law transition, which happens together with a PT-symmetry breaking and a localization transition. The second type features an abnormal log-law to area-law transition, which is mediated by a critical phase with a volume-law scaling in the steady-state entanglement entropy. These entangling phases and transitions are demonstrated in two representative models of NHQCs. Our results thus advanced the study of entanglement transitions in non-Hermitian disordered systems and further disclosed the rich entanglement patterns in NHQCs.

Patterns of financial change in the OECD area
Creators: name: VAN GEMERT, H.
name: GRUIJTERS, N.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Interest rate, OECD, financial integration, asset substitution, monetary integration
subject: E52, F15, G10

description: This paper measures the nature and determinants of financial change by studying interest rate differentials among OECD countries. First, a simple model illuminates the various determinants of international capital mobility. The framework is used to deduce the characteristics of three fundamentally different but analytically connected patterns of financial change: financial integration, asset substitution and monetary integration. Next, the empirical analysis aims at quantifying these patterns for two regions: the FizWorld and the FlexWorld, which differ as to their exchange rate commitment. The results are discussed against the background of some dominant institutional changes in the countries concerned. The policy implications are presented in a monetary policy conflict triangle.

Gravity and the Fermion Mass
Creators: name: Dalton, Kenneth
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

The meaning and treatment of an “unsustainable” budget deficit
Creators: name: HOPKIN, B.
name: REDDAWAY, B.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Budgetary policy, deficits
subject: H61, H62

description: Budgetary policy decisions in many Western countries are now overhung by anxiety about the growth of public debt. Substantial budget deficits are being run in these countries and in many of them public debt has recently grown not only in absolute terms but also as a proportion of GNP. A 'structural' deficit exists when a significant part of a budget deficit is not the result of the current recession and can be expected to remain if and when the recession is over unless the country changes its policies.

Central banking in Trinidad and Tobago, 1966-1969
Creators: name: MCLEOD, A.N.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Financial systems and central banks, Trinidad
subject: E58

description: In the general context of controlling inflation, it is suggested that it may be useful to look back at how demand management worked in a small open economy. Trinidad and Tobago established a central bank in the middle of the 1960s and achieved some noteworthy initial successes with the new techniques for controlling inflation. The early policy experiences of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago are discussed. JEL Codes: E58

description: Die Arbeit ‚Familie im Fokus – Schule in der Pflicht‘ beantwortet anhand der Auseinandersetzung mit der aktuellen Literatur die Frage, was die heilpädagogische Schule zur familiären Bewältigung von Belastungen beitragen kann. Dazu wird anhand von Unterfragestellungen untersucht, welchen Belastungen Betroffene ausgesetzt sein können, und auf welche Bewältigungsstrategien sie zurückgreifen. Sinn und Gestaltung der Kooperation zwischen Elternhaus und Schule werden untersucht, speziell durch die Schule generierte Belastungen herausgearbeitet. Die Arbeit kommt zum Schluss, dass die Schule insbesondere bzgl. der Belastungen, die sie selbst generiert, einen Beitrag zu deren Bewältigung leisten kann, und gibt Empfehlungen dazu, wie dies machbar ist. Als Konglomerat aus der Arbeit ist eine Zusammenstellung entstanden, anhand derer Schulen einen individuellen Leitfaden erstellen können. Ausserdem sind darin eine Auflistung wichtiger Informationen für die Eltern und Literaturempfehlungen enthalten.
Exotic Spheres' Metrics and Solutions via Kaluza-Klein Techniques
Creators: name: Gherardini, T. Schettini
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By applying an inverse Kaluza-Klein procedure, we provide explicit coordinate expressions for Riemannian metrics on two homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic spheres in seven dimensions. We identify Milnor's bundles, among which ten out of the fourteen exotic seven-spheres appear (ignoring orientation), with non-principal bundles having homogeneous fibres. Then, we use the techniques in \cite{10.1063/1.525753} to obtain a general ansatz for the coordinate expression of a metric on the total space of any Milnor's bundle. The ansatz is given in terms of a metric on $S^4$, a metric on $S^3$ (which can smoothly vary throughout $S^4$), and a connection on the principal $SO(4)$-bundle over $S^4$. As a concrete example, we present explicit formulae for such metrics for the ordinary sphere and the Gromoll-Meyer exotic sphere. Then, we perform a non-abelian Kaluza-Klein reduction to gravity in seven dimensions, according to (a slightly simplified version of) the metric ansatz above. We obtain the standard four-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills system, for which we find solutions associated with the geometries of the ordinary sphere and of the exotic one. The two differ by the winding numbers of the instantons involved.

The political economy of reciprocity. A reply
Creators: name: ARNDT, H.W.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Political aspects, reciprocity clauses, tariffs
subject: F10

description: The need for reciprocity clauses in tariff reductions should not distort the real picture concerning international trade. Although reciprocity clauses can help countries which follow more expansionary macroeconomic policies than their trade partners, they can never be the perfect panacea for unemployment problems. Reciprocity clauses only encourage protectionist trade practices. JEL Codes: F10

Probing Interacting Dark Energy and Scattering of Baryons with Dark Matter in Light of EDGES 21cm Signal

description: The EDGES experiment has observed an excess trough ($-500^{+200}_{-500}$ mK) in the brightness temperature $T_{21}$ of the 21cm absorption line of neutral Hydrogen atom (HI) from the era of cosmic dawn ($z \simeq 17.2$). We consider possible interaction of Dark Matter and Dark Energy fluid along with the cooling off of the baryon matter by its collision with Dark Matter to explain the observed excess trough of $T_{21}$. We make use of three different Dark Matter-Dark Energy (DM-DE) interaction models to taste the viability of those models in explaining the EDGES results. The evolution of Hubble parameter is modified by DM-DE interactions and this is also addressed in this work. This in turn influences the optical depth of HI 21cm as well as the baryon temperature and thus effects the $T_{21}$ brightness temperature. In addition we also find that the DM-DE interaction enables us to explore Dark Matter with varied mass regimes and their viabilities in terms of satisfying the EDGES result.

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: European Union, institutions, governance
subject: F02, F15

description: Recent progress towards the construction of the European Union slowed down a little with the exchange rate problems of 1992 and 1993. Central elements in the construction strategy are extending the internal market and building institutions with government functions at the supranational level. A review is undertaken of the economic theory of multi-level government finance, the optimal assignment of fiscal responsibilities to various government tiers, and the general applicability of these theories to the European Union.

Emergent entanglement phase transitions in non-Hermitian Aubry-André-Harper chains

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the non-Hermitian Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) chain. The results reveal that by increasing quasiperiodic strength, a phase transition occurs from the area law induced by non-Hermitian skin effect to the area law arising from Anderson localization. For the former, the entanglement entropy follows a non-monotonic process, i.e., it increases first, then oscillates, and finally converges to a stable value. While for the latter, the entanglement entropy remains low because the wave function is not expandable in Anderson's localization region. The early-stage behavior of entanglement entropy indicates that the two area-law cases are of different phases. Interestingly, the volume-law behavior emerges at the critical point between these two area-law phases. Our study reveals that the area laws induced by the skin effect and the Anderson localization is two different phases, and that a volume law can emerge at the phase transition point. The understanding of the entanglement phase transition induced by disorder and skin effect is thus deepened.

Subjects: subject: EMS, EMU, German reunification, Bundesbank
subject: F02, E50

description: The recent collapse of the European Monetary System (EMS) is a setback in the move towards European economic and monetary union (EMU). Two major causes have been identified for one crisis in the EMS in September 1992 and its subsequent collapse on 2 August 1993: German reunification and the effects of the Maastricht Treaty. The active role of the German Bundesbank in the collapse of the EMS is examined. JEL Codes: F02, E50

Privatisation in the transition to a market economy
Creators: name: DAVIDDI R., R.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Privatisation, Central and Eastern Europe
subject: P20, P30

description: The debate on privatisation, which now concerns Central and Eastern Europe as it transitions to a market-based economy, has centred mostly on the speed of the process, leaving aside important aspects related to the implementation of proper institutional frameworks. The work discusses this issue, reviewing the privatisation experiences of Central and Eastern European countries to date. The theoretical rational for privatisation in these countries is identified, various methods are reviewed and their application to the countries in question are addressed. Targets, constraints and implications are identified and a preliminary assessment is provided. JEL Codes: P20, P30
