description: We classify weak-scale extensions of the Standard Model which automatically preserve its accidental and approximate symmetry structure at the renormalizable level and which are hence invisible to low-energy indirect probes. By requiring the consistency of the effective field theory up to scales of 10^15 GeV and after applying cosmological constraints, we arrive at a finite set of possibilities that we analyze in detail. One of the most striking signatures of this framework is the presence of new charged and/or colored states which can be efficiently produced in high-energy particle colliders and which are stable on the scale of detectors.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Assessment of learning could promote deep learning, but it does not provide sufficient feedback to drive further learning and training. Although the students are subjected to some formative exams throughout the PBL units, feedback is not given appropriately and timely. We noticed that students want to know and use the reasoning behind judgments and they are always complaining that assessment criteria need to be explained. Aim of the work: The aim of this project is to implement a two-way feedback session (TWFS), in which both faculty and students have an opportunity to discuss their reflections on learning and examination processes. Methods: An Anatomy formative assessment is introduced to 100 students followed by implementation of TWFS. The faculty members provided the students with a structured and timely feedback on their performance in general and on the formative exam in particular. Also, the students reflected on the whole learning process, including the real examination experience and contents. The researcher used HSE Change model through the project and the reaction was measured using quantitative and qualitative instruments, covering level one of the Kirkpatrick model. Results: High satisfaction toward TWFS implementation was obtained. The students and the faculty recommended the implementation of this session in different courses and units. Conclusion: TWFS has been implemented and both students and faculty agreed that it enhanced the students’ learning and performance by helping them identify gaps between standard and actual performance. It also helped faculty to adapt teaching to learners needs and to keep up with their progress.

description: Plasmonic nanoantennas, the properties of which are essentially determined by their resonance modes, are of interest both fundamentally and for various applications. Antennas with various shapes, geometries and compositions have been demonstrated, each possessing unique properties and potential applications. Here, we propose the use of a sidewall coating as an additional degree of freedom to manipulate plasmonic gap cavity modes in strongly coupled metallic nanodisks. It is demonstrated that for a dielectric middle layer with a thickness of a few tens of nanometers and a sidewall plasmonic coating of more than ten nanometers, the usual optical magnetic resonance modes are eliminated, and only magnetic toroid-like modes are sustainable in the infrared and visible regime. All of these deep-subwavelength modes can be interpreted as an interference effect from the gap surface plasmon polaritons. Our results will be useful in nanoantenna design, high-Q cavity sensing, structured light-beam generation, and photon emission engineering.
title: On Predicting Omnidirectional Honey Bee Traffic Using Weather and Electromagnetic Radiation

description: Honey bees are responsible for pollinating many important crops in the United States. However, honey bee populations have declined significantly since 1961. While some causes of this decline are known, others are not. By utilizing electronic bee hive monitoring (EBM) systems, bee keepers and researchers have an added resource in determining the causes of these declines so that the issues can be remedied. For nearly five months (May through October) during the 2020 honey bee foraging season in Logan, Utah, USA, we collected on-site weather and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) readings and videos of the hive entrances of six bee hives every 15 minutes. Each video was processed to estimate the number of bee motions, and the bee motion counts were paired with the weather and EMR data. We show that an algorithm consisting of many decision trees in concert (called a random forest regressor) can be used to accurately predict bee motion counts from one moment to another. By using specific weather variables coupled with omnidirectional bee motion counts, we demonstrate that 54.7% of bee motion at the hive entrance can be predicted accurately with data records spaced 15 minutes apart, and 88.6% of the bee motion can be predicted accurately for those 15 minute measurements averaged over 12 hours. We suggest that these predictions can be used to trigger remote alerts for bee keepers when the observed behavior significantly differs from the predicted values. We also propose that the nine-hour relative humidity trend is a major predictor variable in addition to solar radiation and temperature. Additionally, we show that nearly 19% of the changes in bee motion at the hive entrance can be explained by the changes in select EMR variables. In conjunction with these findings, we contribute the design and software for our Weather and EMR Sensing Station, along with 12 curated data files to the public for further exploration. We also discuss various correlations, relations, and observations pertaining to variables that may be influencing bee behavior. The associated expenses of this research was approximately 1,500 US dollars.
GM1-MEDIATED NEURODIFFERENTIATION IS PROMOTED BY OLIGOGM1-TRKA INTERACTION
Creators: name: MAGGIONI, MARGHERITA

description: The present study proposes a clarification on the molecular mechanism by which ganglioside GM1 promotes neurodifferentiation, demonstrating in vitro that neurotrophic functions are exerted by an interaction between the oligosaccharide portion (OligoGM1) and an extracellular domain of TrkA receptor. Similarly to the entire molecule, the oligosaccharide portion of ganglioside GM1, rather than ceramide, is responsible for neurodifferentiation by augmenting neurite elongation and by increasing the expression of neurofilament proteins in mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a (N2a). Conversely, the single components of OligoGM1 (asialo-OligoGM1, OligoGM2, OligoGM3, sialic acid or galactose) are not able to induce a neuro-like morphology. The neurodifferentiative effect is exerted instead by fucosyl-OligoGM1. Contrarily to GM1, exogenous OligoGM1 never integrates in the plasma membrane composition and does not belong to the intracellular metabolism: the unique interaction with N2a is characterized by a weak non-covalent association to the plasma membrane that suggests the existence of an OligoGM1-stimulated target on the cell surface. In fact, the neurotrophic properties of GM1 oligosaccharide are exerted by activating TrkA receptor and the following cascade leading to neurodifferentiation event. The second part of this study elucidates the interaction between GM1 and TrkA, revealing a direct association of OligoGM1 to an extracellular domain of the receptor. Photolabeling experiments, performed employing nitrogen azide radiolabeled GM1 derivatives, show a direct association of the oligosaccharide chain to TrkA. Moreover, a bioinformatics study reveals that OligoGM1 fits perfectly in a pocket of the TrkA-NGF complex, stabilizing and favoring their intermolecular interactions as revealed by the increase in energy associated to the new complex TrkA-NGF-OligoGM1. A precise molecular recognition process between OligoGM1 and a specific extracellular domain of the TrkA receptor is supposed. According to the weak association of OligoGM1 to the cell surface, no covalent bounds between OligoGM1 and TrkA-NGF complex were found. For the first time the molecular mechanism by which GM1 exerts its neurodifferentiative potential was identified, finding out a direct interaction between the oligosaccharide portion and an extracellular domain of TrkA receptor responsible for enhancing the signal transduction related to the neurodifferentiation pathway.

description: Globally, many shallow lakes have shifted from a clear macrophyte-dominated state to a turbid phytoplankton-dominated state due to eutrophication. Such shifts are often accompanied by toxic cyanobacterial blooms, with specialized traits including buoyancy regulation and nitrogen fixation. Previous work has focused on how these traits contribute to cyanobacterial competitiveness. Yet, little is known on how these traits affect the value of nutrient loading thresholds of shallow lakes. These thresholds are defined as the nutrient loading at which lakes shift water quality state. Here, we used a modelling approach to estimate the effects of traits on nutrient loading thresholds. We incorporated cyanobacterial traits in the process-based ecosystem model PCLake+, known for its ability to determine nutrient loading thresholds. Four scenarios were simulated, including cyanobacteria without traits, with buoyancy regulation, with nitrogen fixation, and with both traits. Nutrient loading thresholds were obtained under N-limited, P-limited, and colimited conditions. Results show that cyanobacterial traits can impede lake restoration actions aimed at removing cyanobacterial blooms via nutrient loading reduction. However, these traits hardly affect the nutrient loading thresholds for clear lakes experiencing eutrophication. Our results provide references for nutrient loading thresholds and draw attention to cyanobacterial traits during the remediation of eutrophic water bodies.

description: Abstract Context The heterogeneous mosaic nature of African savannah vegetation is a key aspect of its ecology. This study evaluates mosaic distributions and characteristics across sub-Saharan Africa, investigating the environmental drivers of mosaic formation. Objectives This study was designed to determine: (1) on a continental scale, how frequent are mosaics in savannahs? and (2) what are the key environmental drivers in the formation of mosaics? Methods Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery was used to generate land-cover maps for 39 sample areas across sub-Saharan Africa. The spatial complexity of land-cover mosaics at 4628 savannah sub-sites was quantified, and modelled using random forests to identify the relative importance of environmental variables driving mosaic presence. Results Only six sub-sites constituted a single land-cover class, illustrating that mosaic habitats are abundant at the scale analysed (19.6 km2), although mosaic characteristics varied considerably. Results indicate precipitation is most important in influencing mosaic complexity, followed by evapotranspiration, temperature, lithology and distance to rivers. Fire and ecosystem engineer presence are of lesser importance at this study scale. Conclusions Mosaics are ubiquitous in the African savannahs studied, their presence influenced by multiple environmental drivers, with water being key. The lower importance of fire and large mammal disturbance is likely resulting from these highly individualistic site-based process varying between sites, resulting in no single, coherent, across-Africa disturbance signal, and/or lack of detail in available data at this scale. Therefore, large-scale determinants of savannah mosaics appear climate-driven. Under future global warming scenarios, African savannahs are likely to become more homogenous.

description: Picophytoplankton (PicoP) are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to primary productivity and phytoplankton biomass in coastal and estuarine systems. Remarkably though, PicoP composition is unknown or not well-resolved in several large estuaries including the semi-lagoonal Neuse River Estuary (NRE), a tributary of the second largest estuary-system in the lower USA, the Pamlico-Albemarle Sound. The NRE is impacted by extreme weather events, including recent increases in precipitation and flooding associated with tropical cyclones. Here we examined the impacts of moderate to extreme (Hurricane Florence, September 2018) precipitation events on NRE PicoP abundances and composition using flow cytometry, over a 1.5 year period. Phycocyanin-rich Synechococcus-like cells were the most dominant PicoP, reaching ~ 106 cells mL−1, which highlights their importance as key primary producers in this relatively long residence-time estuary. Ephemeral “blooms” of picoeukaryotic phytoplankton (PEUK) during spring and after spikes in river flow were also detected, making PEUK periodically major contributors to PicoP biomass (up to ~ 80%). About half of the variation in PicoP abundance was explained by measured environmental variables. Temperature explained the most variation (24.5%). Change in total dissolved nitrogen concentration, an indication of increased river discharge, explained the second-most variation in PicoP abundance (15.9%). The short-term impacts of extreme river discharge from Hurricane Florence were particularly evident as PicoP biomass was reduced by ~ 100-fold for more than 2 weeks. We conclude that precipitation is a highly influential factor on estuarine PicoP biomass and composition, and show how ‘wetter’ future climate conditions will have ecosystem impacts down to the smallest of phytoplankton.

description: A presente dissertação trata sobre ações desenvolvidas de modo autoral por educadores, no âmbito das práticas educativas em museus. Essa prática, de forma semelhante à criação artística, se dá por meio da apropriação de diversos fatores que tornam possível a autoria do educador, em um processo de reescrita. A pesquisa permeia as etapas e modos envolvidos no processo de criação dessas ações, de maneira teórica e prática. A teoria é levantada por meio da discussão da autoria em mediação, das tensões existentes entre as relações de poder envolvidas no meio artístico e a partir de analogias entre o processo criativo do artista e o processo criativo do educador. A prática, por meio de pesquisa de campo no educativo do Instituto Inhotim, com a análise das ativações realizadas no Instituto. As ações autorais em mediação cultural funcionam como uma das estratégias dentro do contexto educativo, dentre os vários modelos existentes, que, guiadas pela liberdade e valorização do trabalho do educador e no respeito ao público como fruidor autônomo, dotado de conhecimentos e corresponsável por seu aprendizado, podem ajudar a superar alguns problemas enfrentados no campo da mediação cultural em exposições de artes. The present thesis deals with actions developed in authorial mode by museum educators, within the scope of educational practices in museums. This practice, similar to the artistic creation, occurs through the appropriation of several factors that make possible the authorship of the museum educator, in a rewriting process. The research permeates the steps and modes involved in the process of creating these actions in a theoretical and practical way. The theory is raised through the discussion of authorship in museum education, the tensions existing between the power relations involved in the artistic environment and from analogies between the creative process of the artist and the creative process of the museum educator, and the practice through field research in the museum’s educational services at institute of Inhotim, with the analysis of activations proposals carried out in the institute. The authorial actions in cultural mediation act as another strategy within the educational context, among the various existing models, which, guided by the freedom and appreciation of the museum educator's work and respect for the public as an autonomous enjoyer, endowed with knowledge and co-responsible for their learning, can help to overcome some problems faced in the field of museum education in art exhibitions.

description: PAMELA and, more recently, AMS-02, are ushering us into a new era of greatly reduced statistical uncertainties in experimental measurements of cosmic-ray fluxes. In particular, new determinations of traditional diagnostic tools such as the boron-to-carbon ratio (B/C) are expected to significantly reduce errors on cosmic-ray diffusion parameters, with important implications for astroparticle physics, ranging from inferring primary source spectra to indirect dark matter searches. It is timely to stress, however, that the conclusions obtained crucially depend on the framework in which the data are interpreted as well as from some nuclear input parameters. We aim at assessing the theoretical uncertainties affecting the outcome, with models as simple as possible while still retaining the key dependencies. We compare different semi-analytical, two-zone model descriptions of cosmic-ray transport in the Galaxy. We test for the effect of a primary source contamination in the boron flux by parametrically altering its flux, as well as for nuclear cross section uncertainties. Our study on preliminary results from AMS-02 suggests that, differently for instance from the leptonic case, realistic modelling of the geometry of the Galaxy and of the source distribution are of minor importance to correctly reproduce B/C data at high energies and thus, to a large extent, for the extraction of diffusion parameters. The Ansatz on the lack of primary injection of boron represents the most serious bias, and requires multi-messenger studies to be addressed. If this uncertainty could be lifted, nuclear uncertainties would still represent a serious concern, which degrade the systematic error on the inferred parameters to the 20% level, or three times the estimated experimental sensitivity. In order to reduce this, a new nuclear cross section measurement campaign is probably required.

description: A diaphragm has been used to enhance fuel regression rate and combustion efficiency in hybrid rockets. On the other hand, it has been observed that significant pressure oscillations occurred. In this paper, main factor on the excitation of the instability was studied. Lab-scale firing tests considering the various experimental conditions, such as the diaphragm location and diameter, were conducted, and combustion visualization tests were performed to confirm the instability mechanism. The excitation source of the pressure oscillations was the edge-tone instability. Finally, a new grain which had high regression rate and also was stable combustion was proposed.

description: Estuarine-coastal ecosystems are rich areas of the global ocean with elevated rates of organic matter production supporting major fisheries. Net and gross primary production (NPP, GPP) are essential properties of these ecosystems, characterized by high spatial, seasonal, and inter-annual variability associated with climatic effects on hydrology. Over 20 years ago, Nixon defined the trophic classification of marine ecosystems based on annual phytoplankton primary production (APPP), with categories ranging from “oligotrophic” to “hypertrophic”. Source data consisting of shipboard measurements of NPP and GPP from 1982 to 2004 for Chesapeake Bay in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States supported estimates of APPP from 300 to 500 g C m−2 yr−1, corresponding to “eutrophic” to “hypertrophic” categories. Here, we developed generalized additive models (GAM) to interpolate the limited spatio-temporal resolution of source data. Principal goals were: (1) to develop predictive models of NPP and GPP calibrated to source data (1982 to 2004); (2) to apply the models to historical (1960s, 1970s) and monitoring (1985 to 2015) data with adjustments for nutrient loadings and climatic effects; (3) to estimate APPP from model predictions of NPP; (4) to test effects of simulated reductions of phytoplankton biomass or nutrient loadings on trophic classification based on APPP. Simulated 40% decreases of euphotic-layer chl-a or TN and NO2 + NO3 loadings led to decreasing APPP sufficient to change trophic classification from “eutrophic’ to “mesotrophic” for oligohaline (OH) and polyhaline (PH) salinity zones, and from “hypertrophic” to “eutrophic” for the mesohaline (MH) salinity zone of the bay. These findings show that improved water quality is attainable with sustained reversal of nutrient over-enrichment sufficient to decrease phytoplankton biomass and APPP.

description: Two types of amorphous functional materials, based on lightsensitive inorganic compounds like Se and As20Se80 chalcogenide glass (ChG) were investigated with the aim to establish the influence of plasmonic fields, excited by the band-gap light in nanocomposite layers made of these compounds and gold nanoparticles on their photomechanical response. Both these basic materials are characterized by pronounced photoplastic effect and used for real-time optical recording of optoelectronic elements (based mainly on surface relief gratings) due to high photofluidity and polarization-dependent masstransport. We established that mass-transport processes in these ChG can be enhanced in the presence of localized plasmonic fields generated by light if the condition of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is fulfilled. The subjects of special interest are the mass-transport processes at the nano-scale stimulated in the nano-copmosite layers of either by the uniform or periodically distributed optical fields. It was found that irradiation by light with SPR really enhance the efficiency of masstransport and produce surface nanostructurizations. The variation in the topography follows closely and permanently the underlying near field intensity pattern.

description: Article version: Author accepted manuscript Abstract
 Much has been written about Protest Theatre during the apartheid era; and much has been written about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the 1994 democratic elections in South Africa. Much has also been written about the profound importance of postcolonial theory in relation to South African, and other African, theatre practices and traditions. This article aims to contribute to the growing knowledge of in-depth and nuanced insights gained from this legacy in the context of current, post-apartheid theatre. This article specifically argues that, in post-apartheid theatre, when the characters and/or audience, collectively experience grief, the traumatic legacy of the binary arrangement of identities (of ‘primitive/civilized, superior/inferior, master/servant’) constructed by and for power during the pre-revolution era, breaks down and the crimes of colonization and apartheid are perceived by the audience. This is seen as a necessary part of the process in the ongoing countering of the received master narrative inculcated by the colonial and apartheid periods. Agreeing with Ash Amin, the paper argues that through such theatre the periphery is liberated and, on those terms, engages with the centre, or historical, hegemonic narrative.
 From that perspective, history and the present can be grasped and new post-apartheid identities seen as multi-dimensional, non-stereotyped, and in ‘constant production’ are revealed. Applying this notion, one observes that multiple stories emerge to articulate this countering process. But, core to this process, is the subjective and collective experience of grief leading to the binaries collapsing and the crime of the colonial and apartheid project being seen at the core of the traumatic history which informs the contemporary, multi-layered South African experience. The article explores five contemporary South African plays: Bush Tale, Relativity; Township Stories, Hallelujah!, Reach, Armed Response. Notions of postcolonial and identity theory are incorporated in the article as they help illuminate the plays. In addition, insights gained from the Kleinian School of Object Relations psychoanalytic theory help inform notions of how the processes of grief and trauma deepen our understanding of the plays, and the contemporary South African narrative.

description: Bacteria play key roles in the function and diversity of aquatic systems, but aside from study of specific bloom systems, little is known about the diversity or biogeography of bacteria associated with harmful cyanobacterial blooms (cyanoHABs). CyanoHAB species are known to shape bacterial community composition and to rely on functions provided by the associated bacteria, leading to the hypothesized cyanoHAB interactome, a coevolved community of synergistic and interacting bacteria species, each necessary for the success of the others. Here, we surveyed the microbiome associated with Microcystis aeruginosa during blooms in 12 lakes spanning four continents as an initial test of the hypothesized Microcystis interactome. We predicted that microbiome composition and functional potential would be similar across blooms globally. Our results, as revealed by 16S rRNA sequence similarity, indicate that M. aeruginosa is cosmopolitan in lakes across a 280° longitudinal and 90° latitudinal gradient. The microbiome communities were represented by a wide range of operational taxonomic units and relative abundances. Highly abundant taxa were more related and shared across most sites and did not vary with geographic distance, thus, like Microcystis, revealing no evidence for dispersal limitation. High phylogenetic relatedness, both within and across lakes, indicates that microbiome bacteria with similar functional potential were associated with all blooms. While Microcystis and the microbiome bacteria shared many genes, whole-community metagenomic analysis revealed a suite of biochemical pathways that could be considered complementary. Our results demonstrate a high degree of similarity across global Microcystis blooms, thereby providing initial support for the hypothesized Microcystis interactome.

 apresenta o conceito de Deriva e o modo como ele é ressignificado na obra. A segunda, em que os
 os elementos que tornam a casa um lar são identificados, para em seguida percebê-los na cidade e
 assim, apreender nela sua dimensão de Morada. E por último, a terceira parte na qual reflete-se sobre
 o processo plástico de criação poética. Por se tratar justamente de uma obra artística, a dissertação
 é permeada por narrativas líricas e imagens. The following master dissertation proposes to be, above all, a poetic work, in this way, it has its bases on
 the artistic research, specially through the techniques of metal engraving, photography and graphical
 arts. It pursues the dimensions of Home at Belo Horizonte urban territory, understanding thus the city as
 an expanded home, beyond the limits of the house. In order to seize the space in such symbolic way, the
 research used its own process of Derive, understood as a concept and a method at the same time. It
 consists of three sections: the first one, where it is presented the concept of Derive and the manner as it is
 resignified at this work. The second, where the elements that turn the house into a Home are identified, to
 then find them at the city, in order to apprehend on the urban space its domestic dimension. And finally,
 the third part where we meditate over the artistic process of poetic creation. Because the dissertation
 consists precisely of an art work, it is pervaded of lyrics tales and images

description: We present the TRIQS library, a Toolbox for Research on Interacting Quantum Systems. It is an open-source, computational physics library providing a framework for the quick development of applications in the field of many-body quantum physics, and in particular, strongly-correlated electronic systems. It supplies components to develop codes in a modern, concise and efficient way: e.g. Green's function containers, a generic Monte Carlo class, and simple interfaces to HDF5. TRIQS is a C++/Python library that can be used from either language. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3). State-of-the-art applications based on the library, such as modern quantum many-body solvers and interfaces between density-functional-theory codes and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) codes are distributed along with it.

Lepton universality test in the photoproduction of $e^- e^+$ versus $μ^- μ^+$ pairs on a proton target

description: In view of the significantly different proton charge radius extracted from muonic hydrogen Lamb shift measurements as compared to electronic hydrogen spectroscopy or electron scattering experiments, we study in this work the photoproduction of a lepton pair on a proton target in the limit of very small momentum transfer as a way to provide a test of the lepton universality when extracting the proton charge form factor. By detecting the recoiling proton in the $γp \to l^- l^+ p$ reaction, we show that a measurement of a ratio of $e^-e^+ + μ^-μ^+$ over $e^-e^+$ cross sections with a relative precision of around 2%, would allow for a test to distinguish between the two different proton charge radii currently extracted from muonic and electronic observables.

International justice v. local peace? : case study of the impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia on the reconciliation process in the Balkans : the reality of the international criminal justice's achievements with regard to peace building

description: Second semester: University of Graz
description: In the last 60 years, international criminal justice has emerged with the declared objective of contributing to peace and reconciliation. While their social inputs were largely theorized, few empirical studies were conducted to ensure that international tribunals genuinely achieve these social objectives in the field. In the midst of the bloodshed that accompanied the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s dissolution, the United Nations Security Council decided to set up the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in order to contribute to the restoration and to the maintenance of peace in the region throughout accountability. Now that the “Hague Tribunal” is at the edge of its completion, it is the objective of this thesis to assess whether the Tribunal managed to positively influence dynamics of reconciliation in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

description: Coresets are one of the central methods to facilitate the analysis of large data.We continue a recent line of research applying the theory of coresets to logistic regression. First, we show the negative result that no strongly sublinear sized coresets exist for logistic regression. To deal with intractable worst-case instances we introduce a complexity measure µ(X), which quantifies the hardness of compressing a data set for logistic regression. µ(X) has an intuitive statistical interpretation that may be of independent interest. For data sets with bounded µ(X)-complexity, we show that a novel sensitivity sampling scheme produces the first provably sublinear (1 ± ")-coreset.
Effect of thermal and cryogenic conditioning on flexural behavior of thermally shocked Cu-Al2O3 micro- and nano-composites

description: This investigation has used flexural test to explore the effects of thermal treatments, i.e., high-temperature and cryogenic environments on the mechanical property of alumina particulate-reinforced Cu metal matrix micro and nanocomposites in ex-situ and in-situ conditions. Cu-5 vol. pct alumina micro (10 micron)- and nanocomposites (<50 nm) fabricated by powder metallurgy route were subjected to up-thermal shock cycle [193 K to 353 K (-80C to 80C)] and down-thermal shock cycle [193 K to 353 K (from 80C to -80C)] for different time periods followed by 3-point bend test. One batch of specimens (micro and nanocomposites) was conditioned at [193 K to 353 K (from 80C to -80C)] separately followed by 3-point flexural test. High-temperature flexural test was performed at [373 K to 523 K (100C to 250C)] on the micro and nanocomposites. All the fractured samples obtained after various thermal treatments were studied under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The development of thermal stresses quite often results in concentration of residual stresses at the particle/matrix interface eventually weakening it. Enhancement of flexural strength was recorded for down- as well as for up-thermal shock in microcomposites. The high-temperature flexural strengths of micro and nanocomposites are lower than those at ambient temperature. The amelioration and declination in mechanical properties as a consequence of thermal shock, thermal conditioning, and high-temperature flexural testing have been discussed in the light of fractography.
Menschenrechte als integraler Bestandteil der Sozialen Arbeit

description: Die Beziehung zwischen Menschenrechten und Sozialer Arbeit lässt sich aus zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln heraus betrachten. In der einen Perspektive stellen die Menschenrechte einen integralen Bestandteil der Sozialen Arbeit dar, wobei die Menschenrechte den entscheidenden Bezugsrahmen der Sozialen Arbeit in Theorie und praktischer Konzeption fundieren. Diesen Entwürfen entgegengesetzt steht das Verständnis der Menschenrechte als ein Kritisches Korrektiv der Profession und Disziplin, welches die Theorien und Konzeptionen der Sozialen Arbeit immer wieder neu aus der externen Perspektive der Menschenrechte zu hinterfragen hat. Welche der beiden Perspektiven sich letztlich durchzusetzen vermag, ist aus heutiger Sicht noch nicht absehbar. Im Artikel wird daher auch nicht der Versuch gewagt, eine solche Entscheidung vorwegzunehmen, denn es gibt gute Gründe für die jeweiligen Positionen. Mit dem Bezug zu Jane Addams (1860-1935) zentralem Werk Democracy and Social Ethics soll in einem historischen Kontext ein Ausgangspunkt der Traditionslinie beschrieben werden, die die Menschenrechte als integralen Bestandteil der Sozialen Arbeit versteht.
