description: Past weight-of-evidence frameworks for adverse ecological effects have provided soft-scoring procedures for judgments based on the quality and measured attributes of evidence. Here, we provide a flexible probabilistic structure for weighing and integrating lines of evidence for ecological risk determinations. Probabilistic approaches can provide both a quantitative weighing of lines of evidence and methods for evaluating risk and uncertainty. The current modeling structure was developed for propagating uncertainties in measured endpoints and their influence on the plausibility of adverse effects. To illustrate the approach, we apply the model framework to the sediment quality triad using example lines of evidence for sediment chemistry measurements, bioassay results, and in situ infauna diversity of benthic communities using a simplified hypothetical case study. We then combine the three lines evidence and evaluate sensitivity to the input parameters, and show how uncertainties are propagated and how additional information can be incorporated to rapidly update the probability of impacts. The developed network model can be expanded to accommodate additional lines of evidence, variables and states of importance, and different types of uncertainties in the lines of evidence including spatial and temporal as well as measurement errors.

description: Die Schaffung von zusätzlichem Wohnraum, ohne oder kaum neue Flächen zu verbrauchen, unterstützt die Bestrebungen einer gesteigerten Ressourcen- und Flächeneffizienz und der Siedlungsentwicklung nach Innen. Insbesondere in Stadtregionen werden Bevölkerungs­zuwächse prognostiziert und steigende Wohn-, Boden- und Baupreise sowie Auswirkungen des Klimawandels beschäftigen Kommunen und Gemeinden dabei zusätzlich. Auf der anderen Seite bleiben durch den Remanenzeffekt viele Ein- und Zweifamilienhäuser nach dem Auszug der Kinder oder Verlust des Partners untergenutzt und können eine Belastung für die Eigentümer:innen darstellen. Besonders Ein- und Zweifamilienhäuser bieten hierbei ein großes Potenzial zur Schaffung von zusätzlichem Wohnraum im Bestand. Eine ganzheitliche Nachverdichtungsberatung kann dabei helfen, die bestehenden Potenziale zu aktivieren und zusätzlichen Wohnraum im Bestand zu schaffen, ohne dabei die Lebensqualität in den Quartieren zu mindern.

Bereits im Forschungsprojekt BONUS (Bestand Optimal Nutzen – Umwelt Stärken) wurde eine Beratung entwickelt, welche die Themenfelder Grün- und Freiraum sowie nachhaltige Mobilität mitberücksichtigt. Das Nachfolgeprojekt BONANZA (BONUS An Nachhaltige Zukunftsthemen Anpassen) fokussiert verstärkt die Themen Biodiversität und Klimawandelanpassung (z. B. Gebäudebegrünung). Auf Basis des Feedbacks und Erfahrungen aus den bereits durch­geführten Beratungen in BONUS werden die Beratungsinhalte und -materialien sowie der Ablauf zunehmend weiterentwickelt und standardisiert.

Wie sich in den bisherigen BONUS-Beratungen gezeigt hat, erstrecken sich Maßnahmen zur Nachverdichtung über einen längeren Zeitraum und Erfolge sind nicht unmittelbar messbar. Zur Messung des Fortschritts und der Wirkung der Beratungsdienstleistung wird in BONANZA eine Monitoringsystematik entwickelt, welche es Gemeinden und Städte ermöglicht, die Erfolge kurz-, mittel- und langfristig zu monitoren. Um in Folge den Transfer der Nachver­dichtungsberatung auch auf weitere Gemeinden unterschiedlicher Größen zu ermöglichen, wird zur Einbindung von Gemeindevertreter:innen ein Co-Creation-Workshop entwickelt. Anhand einer kompakten Vorstellung des Status quo einer Gemeinde, mit Hilfe von innovativen (GIS-)basierten Indikatoren auf Quartiersebene, können Beratungsschwerpunkte und Handlungsfelder identifiziert werden. Gemeinsam können so spezifische Zielsetzungen der Beratungen in den Gemeinden erarbeitet werden.

description: Räumlich explizite Informationen zu CO₂-Emissionen im Zusammenhang mit Landnutzungs- und Landbedeckungsänderungen stellen eine wichtige Grundlage für lokale Strategien zur Eindämmung des Klimawandels dar. Allerdings werden diese Emissionen meist nur aggregiert für größere Gebiete erfasst, z. B. Auf Landesebene. Somit fehlt lokalen Akteuren wie Kommunen die Datengrundlage, um ihren Beitrag zu diesen Emissionen quantifizieren und im Anschluss gezielt lokale Maßnahmen zur Mitigation der Emissionen umsetzen zu können.

Wir haben einen Indikator entwickelt, der für einen wählbaren Zeitraum Landnutzungs­änderungen detektiert und die dadurch entstandenen CO₂-Emissionen und -senken abschätzt. Hierbei wird zunächst am Anfang und am Ende des gewählten Beobachtungszeitraums mit Maschinellem Lernen (ML) basierend auf Sentinel-Satelliten­bildern eine Landnutzungs­klassifikation generiert. Dabei wird unterschieden zwischen den Klassen Gras, Dauerkultur, Ackerland, Wald, Wasser und bebautem Gebiet. Anschließend werden die Landnutzungs­änderungen identifiziert und die dadurch verursachten CO₂-Emissionen geschätzt, indem die Kohlenstoffspeicher der Ausgangsklassen und der Zielklassen voneinander subtrahiert werden. Die Landnutzungsänderungen sowie die geschätzten Emissionen werden schließlich in Form von Karten, Tabellen und Grafiken präsentiert.

Das Klassifikationsmodell der Landnutzung, welches zunächst für den Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg trainiert wurde, erreicht einen F1-Score von 84 %. Als Teststudie wurde die Schätzung der Emissionen aus Landnutzungsänderungen in der Stadt Heidelberg für den Zeitraum vom 17.05.2022 bis zum 31.05.2023 durchgeführt. Etwa 0,2 % der Fläche Heidelbergs waren in diesem Zeitraum von Landnutzungsänderungen betroffen. Die Landnutzungsänderungen führten zu Emissionen von insgesamt 775 t CO₂ und zu einer Senke von insgesamt 663 t CO₂.

Um den Indikator lokalen Akteuren zugänglich zu machen, entwickeln wir eine Anwendung, mit welcher der Indikator für beliebige Gebiete und Zeiträume berechnet werden kann. Diese Anwendung wird künftig gemeinsam mit anderen klimarelevanten Indikatoren auf einer Open-Source-Online-Plattform zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Während der Indikator momentan noch auf die gemäßigte Klimazone beschränkt ist, planen wir eine Ausweitung auf weitere Klimazonen mit potenziell globaler Anwendbarkeit in der Zukunft.

description: The reduction of Cr(VI) by the metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was evaluated, to determine the potential for exploiting Cr(VI) bioreduction as a means of treating chromate conversion coating (CCC) waste streams. Inclusion of Cr(VI) at concentrations ≥1 mM inhibited aerobic growth of S. oneidensis, but that organism was able to reduce Cr(VI) at a concentration of up to 1 mM under anaerobic, nongrowth conditions. S. oneidensis reduced Cr(VI) in the presence of common CCC constituents, with the exception of ferricyanide, when these CCC constituents were included at concentrations typical of CCC waste streams. Ferricyanide inhibited neither aerobic growth nor metabolism under aerobic, nitrate- or iron-reducing conditions, suggesting that the ferricyanide-depended inhibition of Cr(VI) reduction is not due to broad metabolic inhibition, but is specific to Cr(VI) reduction. Results indicate that under some conditions, the activities of metal-reducing bacteria, such as S. oneidensis, could be exploited for the removal of Cr(VI) from CCC waste streams under appropriate conditions.

Wir stellen einen KI-gestützten Workflow vor, der bildliche PDF-Dokumente in maschinen­lesbare Datenformate umwandelt und die extrahierten Planungsinformationen intelligent recherchierbar macht. Anhand der Entwicklung der Web-Anwendung PlanFinder zeigen wir, wie wir Planungsdokumente, die über hunderte von Datenquellen verteilt sind, mit Web-Scraping-Techniken sammeln und anschließend mit Hilfe von Computer-Vision-Algorithmen strukturierte Daten aus den gesammelten unstrukturierten Dateien extrahieren.

Anhand praktischer Beispiele von Attributfiltern im PlanFinder demonstrieren wir, wie die Informationen durch unsere Extraktionsschritte komfortabel durchsuchbar werden.

Darüber hinaus präsentieren wir erste Ergebnisse aus der Entwicklung neuer, intelligenter Planungstools.

Wir stellen einen zusätzlichen Workflow vor, in dem Planungstexte vektorisiert und mit Hilfe von Vektordatenbanken und Retriever-Augmented Generation (RAG)-Architekturen präzise auffindbar und vergleichbar gemacht werden. Mit dem PlanFinder und den Prototypen für intelligente Suchfunktionen auf Basis von Textinhalten stellen wir innovative Planungs­werkzeuge vor, die Entscheidungsträgern in Stadtentwicklungs- und Planungs­vorhaben neue Möglichkeiten zur Analyse und Bewertung von Flächennutzungen bieten können.

description: Emotions are increasingly being recognised as important aspects of prejudice and intergroup behaviour. Specifically, emotional mediators play a key role in the process by which intergroup contact reduces prejudice towards outgroups. However, which particular emotions are most important for prejudice reduction, as well as the consistency and generality of emotion–prejudice relations across different in-group–out-group relations, remain uncertain. To address these issues, in Study 1 we examined six distinct positive and negative emotions as mediators of the contact–prejudice relations using representative samples of U.S. White, Black, and Asian American respondents (N = 639). Admiration and anger (but not other emotions) were significant mediators of the effects of previous contact on prejudice, consistently across different perceiver and target ethnic groups. Study 2 examined the same relations with student participants and gay men as the out-group. Admiration and disgust mediated the effect of past contact on attitude. The findings confirm that not only negative emotions (anger or disgust, based on the specific types of threat perceived to be posed by an out-group), but also positive, status- and esteem-related emotions (admiration) mediate effects of contact on prejudice, robustly across several different respondent and target groups.

description: The global trend towards the comprehensive digitisation of technologies in product manufacturing is leading to radical changes in engineering processes and requires a new extended understanding of data handling. The amounts of data to be considered are becoming larger and more complex. Data can originate from process simulations, machines used or subsequent analyses, which together with the resulting components serve as a complete and reproducible description of the process. Within the Collaborative Research Centre "Process Chain for Manufacturing of Hybrid High Performance Components by Tailored Forming", interdisciplinary work is being carried out on the development of process chains for the production of hybrid components. The management of the generated data and descriptive metadata, the support of the process steps and preliminary and subsequent data analysis are fundamental challenges. The objective is a continuous, standardised data management according to the FAIR Data Principles so that process-specific data and parameters can be transferred together with the components or samples to subsequent processes, individual process designs can take place and processes of machine learning can be accelerated. A central element is the collaborative development of a domain-specific ontology for a semantic description of data and processes of the entire process chain.

description: Densities, speed of sound and dynamic viscosity of liquid mixtures of 2-Chloroaniline with carboxylic acids (ethanoic acid, propanoic acid and butanoic acid) have been calculated over the entire composition range and at T = (303.15–318.15) K. Changes in the physical properties have been studied as a function of temperature and alkyl chain length of carboxylic acids. By using density, speed of sound, viscosity data the excess molar volume (), excess isentropic compressibility (), excess Gibbs energy of activation flow () of liquid mixtures have been calculated. In addition, excess partial molar volume, , excess partial isentropic compressibility, , and excess partial molar volume, , excess partial isentropic compressibility, , at inﬁnite dilution over the whole composition range have also been calculated. Further the topology of electron density obtained by non-covalent interaction plots are used to identify the evolution of strong and weak interactions between dimers of binary liquid mixtures.

description: Städte haben sich unter vielfältigen geografischen, wirtschaftlichen, historischen und kulturellen Bedingungen entwickelt, was zu unterschiedlichen stadtstrukturellen und architektonischen Ausprägungen geführt hat. Die gebaute Umwelt trägt somit Informationen in sich, die über die reine Form hinausgehen.

Da Geodaten, welche die grundlegende urbane Morphologie beschreiben, in vielen Ländern der Welt verfügbar und aktuell sind, wurden diverse Ansätze entwickelt, die mithilfe urbaner Metriken komplexe kleinräumige Informationen, zum Beispiel zu Gebäudetyp und -nutzung, der kleinräumigen Bevölkerungsverteilung oder zu Stadtstrukturtypen ableiten. Obwohl das großflächige Vorliegen solcher Daten von enormer Bedeutung für die Analyse von urbanen Räumen ist und als wichtige Grundlage für Planungsentscheidungen dienen kann, sind die Potenziale bislang kaum ausgeschöpft.

Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, einen systematischen Überblick über Metriken der urbanen Morphologie auf Ebene von Gebäuden, Parzellen und Blöcken zu geben und deren Nutzbarkeit zur Ableitung von bislang für Deutschland nicht flächendeckend verfügbaren Daten beispielhaft zu veranschaulichen. Grundlage für die Arbeit ist eine systematische Analyse der internationalen Literatur der letzten Jahre. Die Nutzungsmöglichkeiten der Metriken werden in einigen Anwendungsfällen für Deutschland aufgezeigt.

description: This study presents evidence of concerted evolution in the mitochondrial control region of the frog Pseudopaludicola canga. Four repeat units of 88 bp (as well as a fifth, incomplete unit) were observed in the 5′ domain, with the duplicated segments of the same specimen being more related to one another than to the equivalent regions in other specimens, as a result of concerted evolution. We highlight that drawing conclusions from phylogeographical analysis using the control region containing VNTRs must be interpreted with caution, because it violated a basic assumption of phylogeny, since the regions cannot be treated as independent characters.

description: In Democracy and Education John Dewey is critical of Rousseau 's reference to human nature as a source of the aims of education. The essay shows that Dewey's critique fa ils because it is founded upon an incomplete understanding of Rousseau. More broadly significant is Dewey's neglect of the crucial role assumed by the Natural both in educational theorizing and in justification in general. Reference to the Natural serves to legitimize while diverting critical attention from the roots of the favored proposal.

description: Agriculture is highly expensive and low profitable because of the high usage of harmful chemicals and powerful manures. In recent times, food quality and safety are the two important factors that have gained ever increasing attention in general consumers. To protect our eco-system from the harmful pesticides and manure we should follow the organic farming which use the natural ways of cropping. Moreover, the inorganic foods have very poor energy level and are far less healthy to our body. The demand for organic foods was highly increased due to the health consciousness of our people. The non uses of chemical pesticides and fertilizers or genetically modified organisms, growth hormones, and antibiotics are the key features of organic farming. This will maintain the soil fertility and keeps the soil healthy. Also, use of chemical fertilizers kill the useful soil organisms, whereas organic farming can support and proliferate the organic nature of soil and this way of agriculture is more sustainable.

description: Over the past decade, housing prices in many regions of the United States have increased precipitously. This is especially true in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region that has experienced an influx of highly paid tech workers and a tightening of the housing market. Against this backdrop, this article examines the strategies and compromises that a racially and socioeconomically diverse group of Bay Area residents use to maintain housing. Drawing on survey and interview data, the article finds that both homeowners and nonhomeowners described feeling “stuck in place” as prices rose around them. Yet nonhomeowners made greater compromises to maintain housing, including (1) living in structurally inadequate housing; (2) moving in with friends and relatives; and (3) accepting legally precarious living arrangements. Although research on housing often focuses on why families move, this article reconfigures immobility as a deliberate process, documenting the trade-offs families make to keep their homes.

description: Trotz ihres Potenzials finden hochqualitative Sekundärrohstoffe in der sächsischen Bauwirtschaft nur begrenzt Anwendung. Ein Mangel an detaillierten Informationen über Volumen und Verteilung von Bauabfällen erschwert eine effiziente Planung von Recyclingprozessen. Dieser Vortrag stellt eine Methodik der Analyse von Materialflüssen und Aufbereitungskapazitäten vor, die es ermöglicht, die anfallenden Mengen von Bauabfällen und das Potenzial für den Einsatz aufbereiteter Recyclingmaterialien mit hoher räumlicher Auflösung zu schätzen. Die Methode bietet wertvolle Einblicke in Angebot und Nachfrage nach Sekundär-Baumaterialien sowie die erforderlichen Aufbereitungskapazitäten für Planer, Bauunternehmen und Recyclingfirmen.

Durch die Verknüpfung von Materialkatasterdaten mit Daten zu Bauabgängen und Gebäudefertigstellungen auf Gemeindeebene sowie Erneuerungsraten für Infra­strukturprojekte, bietet die Analyse eine umfassende Übersicht über Materialflüsse im Hoch- und Tiefbau. Zudem ermöglichen Indikatoren zum Flächenbedarf der Bauschuttaufbereitung eine Schätzung der benötigten Flächen nahe Zentren der Bautätigkeit, die mit aktuellen Aufbereitungskapazitäten abgeglichen werden.

Anhand der Fallstudien des Landkreises Meißen und der Stadt Dresden zeigen erste Ergebnisse eine deutliche Diskrepanz zwischen vorhandenen Aufbereitungskapazitäten und dem Bedarf für eine intensivierte Nutzung von Sekundärrohstoffen. Das Poster erläutert die Methodik und zentrale Ergebnisse der Analyse und diskutiert zukunftsweisende Szenarien für die Anwendung der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in einem Entscheidungshilfetool zur Förderung der Sekundärrohstoffnutzung in der Bauwirtschaft. Zusätzlich werden die räumliche Übertrag­barkeit der Methode sowie dafür notwendige Datenverfügbarkeiten dargestellt.
Experts and Control of the Curriculum

description: Control of School curriculum has been a dormant issue poked alive in recent years. Since Plato, a stock answer has been that relevant experts should have control. One novel and interesting argument against this is that curriculum decision making is simply not a sufficiently recondite area to warrant helmsmanship by theorists. This argument is presented and attacked. In its place is offered quite a different reason for rejecting control by experts.

description: The emergence of bacterial multidrug resistance is an increasing problem in treatment of infectious diseases. An important cause for the multidrug resistance of bacteria is the expression of multidrug efflux transporters. The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters are most recently recognized as unique efflux system for extrusion of antimicrobials and therapeutic drugs due to energy stored in either Na+ or H+ electrochemical gradient. In the present study, high throughput virtual screening of natural compound collections against NorM – a MATE transporter from Neisseria gonorrhea (NorM-NG) has been carried out followed by flexible docking. The molecular simulation in membrane environment has been performed for understanding the stability and binding energetic of top lead compounds. Results identified a compound from the Indian medicinal plant “Terminalia chebula” which has good binding free energy compared to substrates (rhodamine 6 g, ethidium) and more favorable interactions with the central cavity forming active site residues. The compound has restricted movement in TM7, TM8, and TM1, thus blocking the disruption of Na+ – coordination along with equilibrium state bias towards occlude state of NorM transporter. Thus, this compound blocks the effluxing pathway of antimicrobial drugs and provides as a natural bioactive lead inhibitor against NorM transporter in drug-resistant gonorrhea.

description: A recent global survey of 907 higher education institutions from 126 countries has revealed that internationalization is becoming more common around the world (Marinoni, 2019), as more universities especially in non-English speaking countries prioritize the implementation of tertiary programs offered in English (Dearden, 2015; Ismailov el al, 2021). However, attending an English-medium course may be quite challenging and present many obstacles for learners with diverse needs and expectations. Inclusive pedagogy, which is sometimes referred to as a student-centered approach, is a well-established learning theory within higher education research. It acknowledges students’ diverse needs, abilities, and individual preferences for constructing knowledge (Baeten et.al. 2012). Inclusive pedagogy emphasizes the importance of teacher-learner reciprocity, active learning, meaningful feedback, and/or an intellectual challenge, as students are the facilitator of the learning activities (Garrett, 2008; Ramsden, 2003; Schweisfurt, 2015). Thus, teachers have a special role to play in encouraging critical thinking, stimulating students’ motivation, and promoting autonomy (Jacobs, 2016; Ramsden,2003; Schwisfurth, 2015). Although this learning theory has been applied to many educational practices, to date, it has not been thoroughly addressed in the context of internationalization. Furthermore, a holistic approach to exploring factors that make the English-medium classrooms inclusive is still absent, as previous research has focused on specific pedagogical interventions within specific geographic, disciplinary, or institutional contexts. For these reasons, this research attempts to fill this gap by connecting the insights from multiple studies. The purpose of this study is to find a comprehensive picture of practice in English medium courses at universities in non-English speaking countries through the lens of inclusive pedagogy.

description: In this paper, we suggest a new nonlinear conjugate gradient method for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems. We prove that the new conjugate gradient coefficient βk with exact line search is globally convergent. Preliminary numerical results with a set of 116 unconstrained optimization problems show that βk is very promising and efficient when compared to the other conjugate gradient coefficients Fletcher - Reeves (FR) and Polak -Ribiere – Polyak (PRP).

description: The Working Group Identity and Access Management (IAM) aims to consolidate processes, policies and architectures in order to facilitate the management of digital identities and federated access to resources within and across the NFDI consortia. The working group therefore follows the three main objectives: Conceptional work including the evaluation and creation of blueprints, especially the AARC BPA, to establish an AAI for the "one NFDI" as well as concepts for the integration of existing tools and resources in this infrastructure Connecting NFDI AAI and the NFDI consortia with relevant initiatives on state, national and international levels. Consulting to support communities and resource providers to connect to the “one NFDI AAI”. Over the course of the next two years, the working group will follow milestones to (1) provide short term AAI guidelines that allow service providers within the NFDI to connect their services to existing AAI infrastructures, (2) Build a baseline scheme for an identity space to exchange informational attributes about identities, (3) establish role and group management services and finally (4) provide an IAM architecture for the "one NFDI".

Ontogeny and intraspecific variation of the early Cambrian trilobite Olenellus gilberti, with implications for olenelline phylogeny and macroevolutionary trends in phenotypic canalization

description: Morphological variation within the Early Cambrian olenelline trilobite Olenellus gilberti from the Pioche Formation of Nevada is partitioned into ontogenetic, static (non-ontogenetic), and taphonomic components, providing clearer understanding of the nature and sources of the variation. Such understanding is crucial for improved systematic, phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of early trilobites. Compaction caused a significant change in mean form and an increase in shape variance, distorting many aspects of biological shape and shape variation. Morphologically mature specimens exhibited variation in many quantitative and qualitative aspects of cephalic morphology, in the distribution of prothoracic axial nodes, and in the number of opisthothoracic segments. The variance of two log-transformed size measures does not significantly increase over the first five sampled instars, a pattern interpretable either as the oldest known case of targeted growth in animal history, or as evidence of strong selection during early ontogeny. The magnitude of static cephalic shape variation does not significantly change during late ontogeny, also indicative either of developmental regulation of form or of selection against deviant phenotypes. The dominant structure of cephalic static shape variation is similar to the pattern of shape change during late portions of ontogeny: intraspecific heterochrony might therefore have been an important contributor to size-independent shape variation. For many traits, the developmental system was not well buffered against internal and/or external variation so that the resulting phenotype was not tightly canalized in the condition of those traits. Intraspecific variation in such traits is rarely documented in later (especially post-Cambrian) trilobites, consistent with the claim that developmental systems of early trilobites were relatively poorly canalized. However, other aspects of cephalic growth are consistent with having been under tight developmental regulation, which would not be indicative of general developmental ‘sloppiness’. This cautions against generalizing observations from a limited number of traits to the entire organism.
