Implications of Discontinuation of LARC Methods with Remaining Need Among Women in Sindh Province, Pakistan
Creators: name: Cutherell, Meghan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This study examines data collected about women removing an IUD or implant from eight Save the Children supported facilities in the Sindh province in Pakistan by means of a retroactive client register review. Among these women, self-reported side-effects related to method use were a significant barrier to continuation of an IUD or implant. Additionally, a substantial proportion of women in the sample removed an IUD or implant specifically at the request or their husband or another family member. We project the impact of discontinuation with remaining need in this sample in terms of unintended pregnancy, abortion and unintended birth to reinforce the claim that supporting women to continue method use, rather than focusing solely on increasing numbers of new users of contraception, is a key component in reducing unwanted fertility.
The impact of work environment, individual characteristics, training design and motivation on training transfer to the work: the case of Saudi Arabian Public Security Organisation
Creators: name: Alnowaiser, Abdulaziz
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this empirical study was to find out the impact of work environment, individual characteristics, training design and motivation on training transfer to the work in the context of public security. Methodology included a cross sectional questionnaire survey administered to a stratified convenience sample of 500 officers of Public Security Organisation in Saudi Arabia. The effective response rate was 70.2% (351 useable surveys returned out of 500 surveys administered). Data were analysed by running frequencies, descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Results showed that participants’ learning motivation was statistically significantly determined by peer support (β = .311, p = .000), training retention (β = .197, p = .027), goal orientation (β = .163, p = .036) and self-efficacy (β = .158, p = .047). Statistically significant predictors of transfer motivation were learning motivation (β = .401, p = .000), peer support (β = .224, p = .003), training retention (β = .176, p = .021) and self-efficacy (β = .152, p = .028), feedback (β = -.159, p = .014) and openness to change (β = -.147, p = .020). Statistically significant determinants of training transfer were training design (β = .318, p = .000), training retention (β = .313, p = .000), transfer motivation (β = .177, p = .008) and supervisor support (β = .146, p = .018). Training transfer to the work in the context of public security is positively affected by work environment, individual characteristics, training design and motivation factors but a negative association between transfer motivation and performance feedback and openness to change suggest a review of these factors in the context of public security organisations.

description: The so-called triangular Hilbert transform is an elegant trilinear singular integral form which specializes to many well studied objects of harmonic analysis. We investigate $L^p$ bounds for a dyadic model of this form in the particular case when one of the functions on which it acts is essentially one-dimensional. This special case still implies dyadic analogues of boundedness of the Carleson maximal operator and of the uniform estimates for the one-dimensional bilinear Hilbert transform.

description: Anna is an eighteen-year-old Chinese adoptee who begins to question her comfortable life in Santa Barbara on one eventful night—the night her sister gets married, and her mother flees the country for France to help with her own sister’s pregnancy. Anna’s mother, Martine, is the owner of a French perfume company, Aubépin, where Anna’s father, Ron, and adopted sister, Lizzy, both work. Anna, who’s never felt like a part of her mother’s French narrative, doesn’t want anything to do with it. She wants to be in the movies. In her acting class, she befriends thirty-two-year-old mother and soap opera star, Urma Sundry, whose own relationships are falling apart. When a connection is formed between the two, Anna becomes the caretaker for Urma’s baby, Gracie. Anna has visions of her birth mother in a form of transtemporal desire as she connects with Urma’s child. She takes on the immense task of being a mother, and imitating such a character becomes more of her life than an acted role. When Ron and Lizzy and her French husband, François, all return to Paris to help Martine at Aubépin, Anna is left alone in Santa Barbara with the child. While her anguish is momentarily assuaged, her continual pursuit to understand her history and adoption drives her back to her family in France. But she can’t leave Gracie behind. In search of answers, she brings un-fit mother Urma, who’s been kicked out of her boyfriend’s house, and baby Gracie to Paris with her. Over the course of the novel, Anna’s understanding of how she sees herself fitting into the world is in constant flux as different characters enter and exit her stage. This is her world—across China, France, and the United States—and all the emotional and psychological complications that come with it.

description: A magnetic field applied to type-II superconductors introduces quantized vortices that locally quench superconductivity, providing a unique opportunity to investigate electronic orders that may compete with superconductivity. This is especially true in cuprate superconductors in which mutual relationships among superconductivity, pseudogap, and broken-spatial-symmetry states have attracted much attention. Here we observe energy and momentum dependent bipartite electronic superstructures in the vortex core of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ using spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy (SI-STM). In the low-energy range where the nodal Bogoliubov quasiparticles are well-defined, we show that the quasiparticle scattering off vortices generates the electronic superstructure known as "vortex checkerboard". In the high-energy region where the pseudogap develops, vortices amplify the broken-spatial-symmetry patterns that preexist in zero field. These data reveal canonical d-wave superconductivity near the node, yet competition between superconductivity and broken-spatial-symmetry states near the antinode.

description: We present the results of extensive multi-band intra-night optical monitoring of BL Lacertae during 2010--2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period and showed intense variability in almost all wavelengths. We extensively observed it for a total for 38 nights; on 26 of them observations were done quasi-simultaneously in B, V, R and I bands (totaling 113 light curves), with an average sampling interval of around 8 minutes. BL Lacertae showed significant variations on hour-like timescales in a total of 19 nights in different optical bands. We did not find any evidence for periodicities or characteristic variability time-scales in the light curves. The intranight variability amplitude is generally greater at higher frequencies and decreases as the source flux increases. We found spectral variations in BL Lacertae in the sense that the optical spectrum becomes flatter as the flux increases but in several flaring states deviates from the linear trend suggesting different jet components contributing to the emission at different times.

Increasing Demand for Maternity Services in Developing Countries: A Review of the Evidence for Financial Incentives
Creators: name: Reynolds, Zahra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Demand-side financing schemes have increased in visibility over the past two decades as they are increasingly used in developing countries to address inequities in public service delivery. Conditional cash transfers (CCT) and vouchers are two such financing schemes that require certain behaviors of beneficiaries in exchange for financial incentives. This review of the literature identifies 11 evaluations of financing schemes and their impact on utilization of maternity services. The results show a positive correlation between participation in a CCT or voucher scheme and use of prenatal care and skilled delivery. Consumer-led demand-side financing schemes have the potential to improve health inequalities and outcomes for marginalized populations in developing countries.
The press, national elections, and the politics of belonging in Nigeria
Creators: name: Ikiebe, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: Nigeria, today, more or less operates under an intricate web of antagonistic ethnic colonies engaged in all-against-all, low-burning feuds everywhere across the land, nurturing puzzling existential questions. This study seeks to validate the notion that the press may have played a significant role in the promotion of the ethno-regional culture that has dominated Nigeria’s post-colonial politics. Studies on the effects of newspaper press have long established the significant role of the press in statecraft; however this study seeks to understand how the newspaper-press became complicit in the forging of a dysfunctional post-colonial political culture that makes identity politics a central electoral feature. In order to provide a historic understanding of ethnicised politics, the study deploys content analysis of nine newspapers over six federal elections from 1959 to 2011. But to unlock the present day construct of belonging, the study uses in-depth elite interviews with leading academics, politicians, and press owners and managers. The study finds that the press did indeed help to construct ethnicised political culture and identities. It directly links strong elite ethno-regional exclusionist politics with the press. However, the press neither acted alone nor was it always a willing accomplice. Press owners sold the soul of the press to service their own political interests, being often in cohort with political elites through common ethnic interests and power pursuit. Data from the study have forced fresh attention on the newspaper-press as an instrumentalised, predominantly urban-based elite-to-elite medium, and not in any measurable way a mass medium. The study proves that, in reality, Nigeria does not have a populist press. The study concludes with a proposition that the forum function of the press could still be deployed, from an agonistic perspective, to counter antagonism and re-imagine a more democratically productive ethno-federalist nation.

description: The first flexible chip-less RFID temperature sensor system for food monitoring to have a resolution of 0.2 °C for temperature measurements between 79 °C and -22.8 °C is introduced. This system has a significant improvement in temperature range compared to current flexible RFID sensors and can provide high accuracy measurements for real time food monitoring at the system level. Flexible sensors provide low-cost, better flexibility, and longer service life; hence, flexible sensor systems can provide a new future for food monitoring in commercial applications. The proposed system presents a new feature and enables a food monitoring system that utilizes a flexible sensor system. The system introduced in this paper enables a wireless measurement system providing 100 dB dynamic range with 160 Msps and 16-bit resolution for precise temperature measurements that are critical for food quality within 100 °C temperature range. The full sensing system is designed, tested and measurements results are confirmed to be within expected accuracy

description: Physics governing the locomotion of microorganisms and other microsystems is dominated by viscous damping. An effective swimming strategy involves the non-reciprocal and periodic deformations of the considered body. Here, we show that a magnetocapillary-driven self-assembly, composed of three soft ferromagnetic beads, is able to swim along a liquid-air interface when powered by an external magnetic field. More importantly, we demonstrate that trajectories can be fully controlled, opening ways to explore low Reynolds number swimming. This magnetocapillary system spontaneously forms by self-assembly, allowing miniaturization and other possible applications such as cargo transport or solvent flows.

The Queer Moment: Post-Devolution Scottish Literature
Creators: name: Turner, Kate
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis investigates dramatic changes in the construction of Scottish national identity across the period 1999-2015; it identifies a move from hypermasculine Scottish identity at the end of the twentieth century to a queer national identity in 2015. This thesis argues that this is a product of the dramatic disorientation that Scotland encountered when it achieved devolution in 1999, as this moment disrupted the traditional means through which Scottish national identity was constructed. From this moment this thesis argues that the years 1999 to 2015 mark a period in which ideas of Scotland and Scottishness were overturned and made fragile. This thesis considers the implications of this within writing from Scotland produced between 1999 and 2014 in order to explore the consequences of this opened-up sense of Scottishness. As such this thesis explores, not simply how this writing represents Scotland but also how an overturned sense of Scottishness, combined with the varied and outward-looking themes of this writing, allows for an expansive reading practice that incorporates questions of globalisation, cosmopolitanism, and postcolonialism. The chapters track these developments through to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum and the landslide victory of the Scottish National Party in the 2015 UK general election and find ideas of a queer Scottish national identity amplified during these political events. This focus on Scotland evidences this thesis’s broader claim that, if nations are constructed then they can be deconstructed or ‘queered’. This is significant because the nation is typically understood as a source of hegemonic power; it regulates its citizens as a healthy body politic and also demands the protection of the nation against various ‘others’.
Dynamics of photo-generated non-equilibrium electronic states in Ar$^+$ ion irradiated SrTiO$_3$

description: A metallic surface is realized on stoichiometric and insulating (100) SrTiO$_3$ by Ar$^+$ - ion irradiation. The sheet carrier density and Hall mobility of the layer are $\sim$$4.0$ $\times$ $10^{14}$ $/cm^2$ and $\sim$$2$ $\times$ $10^3$ $cm^2/Vs$ respectively at 15 K for the irradiation dose of $\sim$4.2 $\times 10^{18}$ $ions/cm^2$. These samples display ultraviolet light sensitive photoconductivity (PC) which is enhanced abruptly below the temperature ($\approx$100 K) where SrTiO$_3$ crystal undergoes an antiferrodistortive cubic-to-tetragonal ($O_h^1$ $\rightarrow$ $D_{4h}^{18}$) structural phase transition. This behaviour of PC maps well with the temperature dependence of dielectric function and electric field induced conductivity. The longevity of the PC-state also shows a distinct change below $\approx$100 K. At $T > 100$ K its decay is thermally activated with energy barrier of $\approx$36 meV, whereas at $T < 100$ K it becomes independent of temperature. We have examined the effect of electrostatic gating on the lifetime of the PC state. One non-trivial result is the ambient temperature quenching of the photo-conducting state by the negative gate field. This observation opens avenues for designing a solid state photo-electric switch. The origin and lifetime of the PC-state are understood in the light of field effect induced band bending, defect dynamics and thermal relaxation processes.
Public Schools as Partners in Elementary-Aged Children's Mental Health
Creators: name: Thomas, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: While children's physical health and development is well understood, measured, and monitored, children's mental health is still not well understood or fully integrated into the United States' care delivery system. This lack of understanding and coordinated approaches to treatment may lead to a misconception that few children suffer from mental health problems. However, the National Institute for Mental Health estimates that one in five children will suffer from a debilitating mental health condition by the time they turn 18. Elementary-aged children's mental health is particularly under-represented in policy and programs, likely because the prevalence rates for conditions other than ADHD are small compared to adolescents. This paper examines the problems schools, children, and families face when dealing with mental and behavioral health issues, while also examining opportunities and best practices in meeting the growing need for services in this population.
Periodic shedding of vortex dipoles from a moving penetrable obstacle in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: We investigate vortex shedding from a moving penetrable obstacle in a highly oblate Bose-Einstein condensate. The penetrable obstacle is formed by a repulsive Gaussian laser beam that has the potential barrier height lower than the chemical potential of the condensate. The moving obstacle periodically generates vortex dipoles and the vortex shedding frequency $f_v$ linearly increases with the obstacle velocity $v$ as $f_v=a(v-v_c)$, where $v_c$ is a critical velocity. Based on periodic shedding behavior, we demonstrate deterministic generation of a single vortex dipole by applying a short linear sweep of a laser beam. This method will allow further controlled vortex experiments such as dipole-dipole collisions.

description: The possibility of spatially resolving the optical properties of atomically thin materials is especially appealing as they can be modulated at the micro- and nanoscale by reducing their thickness, changing the doping level or applying a mechanical deformation. Therefore, optical spectroscopy techniques with high spatial resolution are necessary to get a deeper insight into the properties of two-dimensional materials. Here we study the optical absorption of single- and few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) in the spectral range from 1.24 eV to 3.22 eV (385 nm to 1000 nm) by developing a hyperspectral imaging technique that allows one to probe the optical properties with diffraction limited spatial resolution. We find hyperspectral imaging very suited to study indirect bandgap semiconductors, unlike photoluminescence that only provides high luminescence yield for direct gap semiconductors. Moreover, this work opens the door to study the spatial variation of the optical properties of other two-dimensional systems, including non-semiconducting materials where scanning photoluminescence cannot be employed.

description: Der gegenwärtige Trend der Körpermodellierung hat in den letzten Jahren ebenso stetig Veränderungen erfahren wie das kommerzielle Fitnessstudio als ein anerkannter Ort der Artikulation moderner Körperlichkeit. Dies zeigt sich insbesondere an den gestiegenen Ansprüchen hinsichtlich gesellschaftlich akzeptierter Körperideale. Dabei bedingt das Sporttreiben im Fitnessstudio positive wie auch negative Erfahrungen, die an das Aussehen und die sportliche Leistung gebunden sind. Hiervon ausgehend nimmt die vorliegende Studie an der Schnittstelle von Sportwissenschaften und Geschlechterforschung die Frage in den Blick, welche Bedeutung diverse Körper(-formen) für die Anerkennung junger Männer innerhalb der Fitnessszene haben. Hierbei werden zum einen positive Anerkennungserfahrungen basierend auf der richtigen Selbstinszenierung sowie der sportlichen Leistung deutlich. Zum anderen werden Abhängigkeiten zwischen Hierarchien unter Männern, körperbezogenen Diskriminierungstendenzen und der selbstbestimmten Teilnahme am körpermodellierenden Sport sichtbar.
description: The Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek (*1946) is regarded as an author who criticizes patriarchal forms of hegemony with the exaggerated depiction of masculine dominance. The contribution at hand ana-lyzes two of Jelinek’s novels from the 1980s from a gender-theory perspective: Wonderful, Wonder-ful Times [Die Ausgesperrten] and The Piano Teacher [Die Klavierspielerin]. It highlights that Jelinek goes beyond a common critique of patriarchy by reducing masculine dominance to absurdity – she showcas-es symbolically castrated masculinities as a persiflage of traditional masculinity. For the analysis, socio-logical gender- and class-based theoretical approaches are combined with a method of character analy-sis. Michael Meuser’s approach, which combines Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity with Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus concept, is integrated into Jens Eder’s character analysis. With this the performance of masculinity becomes (more) visible in Jelinek’s prose and is integrated into the con-text of a double distinction and dominance logic. In the course of the analysis it becomes clear that the male characters, who orient themselves to the ideal of hegemonic masculinity in the construction of their own masculinity, are failing. They cannot meet the requirements which the patriarchy with its embodiment of a hegemonic masculinity imposes on them. Jelinek symbolically castrates them.

description: We observed the prototype blazar, BL Lacertae, extensively in optical and radio bands during an active phase in the period 2010--2013 when the source showed several prominent outbursts. We searched for possible correlations and time lags between the optical and radio band flux variations using multifrequency data to learn about the mechanisms producing variability. During an active phase of BL Lacertae, we searched for possible correlations and time lags between multifrequency light curves of several optical and radio bands. We tried to estimate any possible variability timescales and inter-band lags in these bands. We performed optical observations in B, V, R and I bands from seven telescopes in Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece and India and obtained radio data at 36.8, 22.2, 14.5, 8 and 4.8 GHz frequencies from three telescopes in Ukraine, Finland and USA. Significant cross-correlations between optical and radio bands are found in our observations with a delay of cm-fluxes with respect to optical ones of ~250 days. The optical and radio light curves do not show any significant timescales of variability. BL Lacertae showed many optical 'mini-flares' on short time-scales. Variations on longer term timescales are mildly chromatic with superposition of many strong optical outbursts. In radio bands, the amplitude of variability is frequency dependent. Flux variations at higher radio frequencies lead the lower frequencies by days or weeks. The optical variations are consistent with being dominated by a geometric scenario where a region of emitting plasma moves along a helical path in a relativistic jet. The frequency dependence of the variability amplitude supports an origin of the observed variations intrinsic to the source.

description: "The Stone lab: Decoding Shikahogh Khachkars" is an MPhil by design, seeking to describe the role of Khachkar in formation of Armenian national identity through studies of the stone masonry and the notion of a territory, which in this case is represented with the Shikahogh village (Figs. 1 and 2). Although much study has been done on Khachkars in general, no prior research has been conducted on the historic cradle of Khachkars that is Shikahogh. The Stone lab aims to discover and interpret the stories of Shikahogh unknown Khachkars. Therefore the hybrid approach of experimental archaeology and digital reconstruction have been employed at the Shikahogh lab to unveil the hidden inscriptions of these Khachkars as well as to narrate the functions and technological processes behind their creation. This research portrays the driving factors of belonging and identify preservation underneath the context of Khachkar and Petroglyphic heritage of Armenia.

description: Breastfeeding barriers in substance using mothers is an important issue to be addressed as the benefits offered by breastfeeding might be counteracted by the infant and maternal health consequences of drug exposure. A literature review is conducted in this regard, to focus on the new advancements in the literature, and to get proof and evidence to support the topic of review. Smoking, alcohol, heroin, cocaine and cannabis /marijuana were the drugs of abuse and were searched in relation to breastfeeding. Seventeen studies were selected out of hundred after extensive literature search. A negative association was concluded in smoking, alcohol use and breastfeeding initiation, duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding. There was a gap found in the literature about other substances of use, and no study could properly or completely define barriers to breastfeeding.

description: Density-functional theory is utilized to investigate the zero-temperature transition from a Fermi liquid to an inhomogeneous stripe, or Wigner crystal phase, predicted to occur in a one-component, spin-polarized, two-dimensional dipolar Fermi gas. Correlations are treated semi-exactly within the local-density approximation using an empirical fit to Quantum Monte Carlo data. We find that the inclusion of the nonlocal contribution to the Hartree-Fock energy is crucial for the onset of an instability to an inhomogeneous density distribution. Our density-functional theory supports a transition to both a one-dimensional stripe phase, and a triangular Wigner crystal. However, we find that there is an instability first to the stripe phase, followed by a transition to the Wigner crystal at higher coupling.

Consumer behaviour

description: This study explored the role of idiosyncratic service experience by redefining the wow experience in the context of boutique hotels. Despite the expansion of the boutique hotel segment, which seeks to provide a unique and singular experience, in the lodging industry and the growing popularity of pursuing novel experiences among Millennial consumers, the role of idiosyncratic experience in consumer behavior has not been explored. This left the potential antecedents and consequents of idiosyncratic hotel stay experience—and its role in consumer’s decision-making process—unknown. In this study, a consumer’s perception of a hotel stay experience, which is unusual in an interesting and surprising way, is coined as the perceived quirky experience (PQE). Utilizing the Mehrabian-Russel model, the relationship among boutique hotel service quality aspects, motives and barriers, PQE, and behavior intentions were examined. The consumer decision-making process is expected to be influenced by the optimal stimulation level (OSL); thus, the group differences between stimulation avoiders and seekers were also explored. Methodologically, the current study also seeks to provide a novel approach to amalgamate qualitative and quantitative data. By integrating qualitative analysis of 175,407 TripAdvisor reviews and quantitative analysis of field data (n = 498), topic modeling using an unsupervised machine learning process was performed. Identified keywords were used for aspect-based sentiment analysis and to construct measurement items for the quantitative study stage. Statistical tests were performed using logistic regression and path analysis—and multi-group analysis. The results of this study suggested that boutique hotel-specific service quality aspects have a stronger effect on PQE, and this internal state leads to strong behavioral intentions regardless of temporal differences. The consumer’s stimulation-seeking tendency influenced multiple paths in the consumer’s decision-making process. This study is the first to explore the role of idiosyncratic service experience in the boutique hotel setting and makes theoretical contributions to understanding consumer behaviors involving the perception of uncommon and interesting experiences. The findings of this study provide practical contributions to boutique hotel developers regarding the relative importance of service quality aspects to create a unique and singular stay experience and also provide hotel and brand managers with insightful marketing implications.

description: A presentation given to the Workshop Towards an African Open Science Platform Infrastructure Framework at the 2017 Ubuntunet Connect Conference in Addis Abeba. The presentation describes the need for developing an emerging class of artisans responsible for building e-Infrastructure. Emergent patterns such as identity infrastructures, FAIR data, infrastructure as code and new skills and professions are discussed. It is proposed that in order to build healthy ecosystems for research infrastructure, certain skills are necessary. We cover the contributions of Sci-GaIA to the development of these skills (DevOps bootcamps, e-Research Hackfests) and show that the Africa-Arabia Regional Operations Centre is maintaining a viable ecosystem in which the artisans with these skills can thrive.
Six Pounds of Sugar: An Analysis of Sugar Consumption and Non-Communicable Disease in Jinotepe, Nicaragua

description: Background: Few studies using either quantitative or qualitative research methods have been conducted or published regarding the nutrition transition in Latin America, specifically Nicaragua. Methods: Focus group interviews were conducted with 29 women in rural Jinotepe, Nicaragua. Each group was asked to give a daily diet recall, as well as answer questions regarding household income, weekly market purchases, and health concerns for their families and community. In addition, demographic data for each individual woman was gathered, including height and weight to calculate body mass index (BMI) Results: The majority of women in the focus groups were found to be overweight or obese. These data are consistent with limited information available from WHO. Additional analysis of the qualitative interviews revealed sugar is one of the cheapest sources of calories at the local market and women prepare homemade sugar-sweetened beverages for each meal. In some of the focus groups, women identified pre-diabetes and diabetes as pressing health concerns for themselves and their families. Conclusions: Recommendations include food policy change at the national level to decrease sugar consumption. Three policies for the Nicaraguan government and one for the US will be discussed: changing the price of sugar to influence behavior change, stronger regulation and taxation, microfinance training for women, and changes to the US Farm Bill regarding sugar policy.

description: The local Z_N quantized Berry phase for the SU(N) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin model is formulated. This quantity, which is a generalization of the local Z_2 Berry phase for SU(2) symmetry, has a direct correspondence to the number of singlet pairs spanning on a particular bond, and is effective as a tool to characterize and classify the various symmetry protected topological phases of one-dimensional SU(N) spin systems. We extend the path-integral quantum Monte Carlo method for the Z_2 Berry phase in order to calculate the ZN Berry phase numerically. We demonstrate our method by calculating the Z_4 Berry phase for the bond-alternating SU(4) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain, which is represented by the Young diagram of four columns.

description: Der Übergang von der Schule zur Hochschule ist in keinem Fach so schwierig wie in Mathematik. Bereits vor mehr als 100 Jahren konstatierte Felix Klein diese große Diskrepanz und sprach von doppelter Diskontinuität, da Lehramtsstudierende beim Übertritt in das Lehramt ein zweites Mal mit einer solchen Diskrepanz konfrontiert werden (Klein, 1908). Auch wenn es seitdem sowohl in der Gestaltung der gymnasialen Oberstufe als auch in der des Lehramtsstudiums viele Veränderungen gab, scheint die Feststellung Kleins immer noch aktuell zu sein (Hefendehl-Hebeker, 2013). Inwieweit können Wissenschaftspropädeutische Seminare in der gymnasialen Oberstufe (Bayern) einen Beitrag dazu leisten, zumindest die "erste Diskontinuität" zu verringern? Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird eine Studie vorgestellt, die der Beantwortung dieser Frage nachgeht.
