description: Hinter dem Namen „Klagemauer“ verbirgt sich ein Projekt der katholischen Gefängnisseelsorger/-innen des Landes Baden-Württemberg  aus dem Jahren 2014 u. 2015. Die „Klagemauer“ besteht aus Bildern der Fotografin Gülay Keskin, die auf bausteinartige Holzblöcke montiert wurden. Das Bildprogramm will biblische Klagelieder und Klagepsalmen auch für fremdsprachige Gefangene verdeutlichen. Die dahinter liegende Idee ist, dass Gefangene ihrer eigenen Klage auf unterschiedliche Weise selbst Ausdruck verleihen können.

In der Justizvollzugsanstalt Freiburg gelang dies in besonderer Weise. Die Gefangenen konnten zunächst in einem Auftaktgottesdienst ihre persönliche Klage formulieren. Diese Klage wurde dann entweder laut vorgelesen oder in Ritzen einer aufgebauten Ziegelsteinmauer (wie am Jerusalemer Tempelberg) verborgen. Es folgten insgesamt sechs weitere Themenabende.

Während des Projekts entstanden weitere Texte von Gefangenen, dazu auch Zeichnungen und Gemälde. Auf eine sehr eindrückliche und authentische Weise sind die in der Projektdokumentation veröffentlichten Werke ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis für die unterschiedlichsten persönlichen Gefühle der inhaftierten Männer: Verzweiflung und Hoffnung, Anspannung und Ruhe, innere Widersprüche und neue Orientierung.

Die Häftlinge konnten der eigenen Klage - durch Text und Bild - einen besonderen Ausdruck verleihen . Sie konnten zudem erfahren, dass sie bei Gott gut aufgehoben sind - mit ihren Klagen, ihren Hoffnungen, ihren Ängsten, ihrer Trauer und ihrer Freude,

Das Projekt erhielt im November 2016 den Bonifatiuspreis 2016 (Sonderpreis).

description: The impact of conversion process parameters in pyrolysis (maximum temperature, inert gas flow rate) and hydrothermal carbonization (maximum temperature, residence time and post-washing) on biochar and hydrochar properties is investigated. Pine wood (PW) and corn digestate (CD), with low and high inorganic species content respectively, are used as feedstock. CD biochars show lower H/C ratios, thermal recalcitrance and total specific surface area than PW biochars, but higher mesoporosity. CD and PW biochars present higher naphthalene and phenanthrene contents, respectively, which may indicate different reaction pathways. High temperatures (>500 degrees C) lead to lower PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) content (<12 mg/kg) and higher specific surface area. With increasing process severity the biochars carbon content is also enhanced, as well as the thermal stability. High inert gas flow rates increase the microporosity and wettability of biochars. In hydrochars the high inorganic content favor decarboxylation over dehydration reactions. Hydrochars show mainly mesoporosity, with a higher pore volume but generally lower specific surface area than biochars. Biochars present negligible availability of NO3- and NH4+, irrespective of the nitrogen content of the feedstock. For hydrochars, a potential increase in availability of NO3-, PO43-, and K+ with respect to the feedstock is possible. The results from this work can be applied to "engineer" appropriate biochars with respect to soil demands and certification requirements.

description: The aim of this study is to analyze how depreciation rules influence the decision behavior of investors. For this purpose, we conduct a laboratory experiment in which participants decide on the composition of an asset portfolio in different choice situations. Using an experimental setting with different payment periods, we show that accelerated compared to straight-line depreciation can increase the willingness to invest as hypothesized by theory. However, this expected behavior is only observed in a more complex environment (with a subsidy) and not in a less complex environment (without a subsidy).

description: The distinct definition of accordance in the perceived barriers and enablers for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) policy implementation has been the subject of various research studies, but a distinct focus on the textile sector has been the object of limited previous attention. However, it has been found that it affects the approach to developments in company approaches to sustainable supply chain management within that industry. This article presents the results of an in-depth comparative case study analysis, drawing on 23 interviews with managers of 10 companies from the textile industry. The analysis demonstrates that specific modes of collaboration can both enable an effective SSCM and diminish barriers for policy implementation. The width and depth varies between a collaborative management approach for an effective internal SSCM versus industry collaboration and buyer supplier collaboration to address external barriers and enablers.

description: High contrast imaging searches for exoplanets have been conducted on 2.4-10 m telescopes, typically at H band (1.6 microns) and used exposure times of ~1 hr to search for planets with semi-major axes of > ~10 AU. We are beginning to plan for surveys using extreme-AO systems on the next generation of 30-meter class telescopes, where we hope to begin probing the habitable zones (HZs) of nearby stars. Here we highlight a heretofore ignorable problem in direct imaging: planets orbit their stars. Under the parameters of current surveys, orbital motion is negligible over the duration of a typical observation. However, this motion is not negligible when using large diameter telescopes to observe at relatively close stellar distances (1-10pc), over the long exposure times (10-20 hrs) necessary for direct detection of older planets in the HZ. We show that this motion will limit our achievable signal-to-noise ratio and degrade observational completeness. Even on current 8m class telescopes, orbital motion will need to be accounted for in an attempt to detect HZ planets around the nearest sun-like stars alpha Cen A & B, a binary system now known to harbor at least one planet. Here we derive some basic tools for analyzing this problem, and ultimately show that the prospects are good for de-orbiting a series of shorter exposures to correct for orbital motion.

description: Circular flush Jets In Cross-Flow were experimentally studied in a water tunnel using Volumetric Particle Tracking Velocimetry, for a range of jet to cross-flow velocity ratios, r, from 0.5 to 3, jet exit diameters $d$ from 0.8 cm to 1 cm and cross-flow boundary layer thickness delta from 1 to 2.5 cm. The analysis of the 3D mean velocity fields allows for the definition, computation and study of Counter-rotating Vortex Pair trajectories. The influences of r, d and delta were investigated. A new scaling based on momentum ratio r_m taking into account jet and cross-flow momentum distributions is introduced based on the analysis of jet trajectories published in the literature. Using a rigorous scaling quality factor Q to quantify how well a given scaling successfully collapses trajectories, we show that the proposed scaling also improves the collapse of CVP trajectories, leading to a final scaling law for these trajectories.

description: The problem of existence of stable nonlinear groups of gravity waves in deep water is revised by means of laboratory and numerical simulations with the focus on intense waves. Wave groups with steepness up to $A_{cr} ω_m^2 /g \approx 0.30$ are reproduced in laboratory experiments ($A_{cr}$ is the wave crest amplitude, $ω_m$ is the mean angular frequency and $g$ is the gravity acceleration). We show that the groups remain stable and exhibit neither noticeable radiation nor structural transformation for more than 60 wave lengths or about 15-30 group lengths. These solitary wave patterns differ from the conventional envelope solitons, as only a few individual waves are contained in the group. Very good agreement is obtained between the laboratory results and strongly nonlinear numerical simulations of the potential Euler equations. The envelope soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is shown to be a reasonable first approximation for specifying the wavemaker driving signal. The short intense envelope solitons possess vertical asymmetry similar to regular Stokes waves with the same frequency and crest amplitude. Nonlinearity is found to have remarkably stronger effect on the speed of envelope solitons in comparison to the nonlinear correction to the Stokes wave velocity.

title: Peripheral Rural Landscapes and Architectural Heritage Around Kayseri as a Sustainable Preservation Problem
Creators: name: Timur, Bahar Elagoz
name: Yoney, Nilufer Baturayoglu
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The rural areas on the perimeter of Kayseri present a rich heritage and culture environment threatened by recent urban development. This paper focuses on the valley settlements on the northeast of the city in Gesi and Koramaz valleys, some of which date from as early as the Medieval period and whose population was multi-ethnic and multi-religious until the middle of the 20th century. Following the emigration of the Armenian and Greek population, the activities which have created and sustained these settlements for many centuries are disappearing as well as the architectural heritage as the villages are partially and seasonally occupied. This research aims to raise awareness about these rural and cultural landscapes and their heritage value by documenting the activities which have created them through mapping of the topography, the tangible remains and landscape as well as the collective memory of the former and present inhabitants. The methodology is based on the juxtaposition of physical architectural remains and the past and present rural and agricultural activities. This will make it possible to understand the potentials and to develop strategies for a sustainable future for the present communities through the tool and resource of cultural heritage. The agricultural activities, generated by the streams running along the valleys include orchards, vineyards and animal husbandry such as cows and water buffalo as well as pigeons housed in numerous columbaria. The plains on the northern side of the valleys, where the streams flow show different types of agricultural activities based on various grains and legumes. However, the declining population and the transformations in agricultural production is leading to the abandonment of these activities and its architectural heritage.
The memory of volatility

description: The focus of the volatility literature on forecasting and the predominance of the conceptually simpler HAR model over long memory stochastic volatility models has led to the fact that the actual degree of memory estimates has rarely been considered. Estimates in the literature range roughly between 0.4 and 0.6 - that is from the higher stationary to the lower non-stationary region. This difference, however, has important practical implications - such as the existence or nonexistence of the fourth moment of the return distribution. Inference on the memory order is complicated by the presence of measurement error in realized volatility and the potential of spurious long memory. In this paper we provide a comprehensive analysis of the memory in variances of international stock indices and exchange rates. On the one hand, we find that the variance of exchange rates is subject to spurious long memory and the true memory parameter is in the higher stationary range. Stock index variances, on the other hand, are free of low frequency contaminations and the memory is in the lower non-stationary range. These results are obtained using state of the art local Whittle methods that allow consistent estimation in presence of perturbations or low frequency contaminations.

Cette région fortement abandonnée par les pouvoirs publics même avant la guerre, a connu durant la guerre une invasion du béton pour accompagner l’expansion démographique ce qui a impliqué une transformation spectaculaire et une perte totale d'un paysage .

Répondant à des contraintes diverses, sécuritaires, sociales, démographiques, le visage de la région, Le paysage rural et le patrimoine se trouvent désormais fortement atteints et menacés, l’héritage mémoire d’un passé récent, social et collectif a commencé par disparaitre.

L’agriculture auparavant adaptée à l’environnement et à la nature du sol s’est vu mutée. Le paysage rural mettant l’accent sur la relation entre Patrimoine et société a changé l’identité de la région. Les valeurs patrimoniales tangibles et intangibles vivantes ont dû subir une perte rapide et un déclin au détriment de développement anarchique multiple.

description: We study a variational class of generalised Ramsey protocols that include two one-axis twisting (OAT) operations, one performed before the phase imprint and the other after. In this framework, we optimise the axes of the signal imprint, the OAT interactions, and the direction of the final projective measurement. We distinguish between protocols that exhibit symmetric or antisymmetric dependencies of the spin projection signal on the measured phase. Our results show that the quantum Fisher information, which sets the limits on the sensitivity achievable with a given uniaxially twisted input state, can be saturated within our class of variational protocols for almost all initial twist strengths. By incorporating numerous protocols previously documented in the literature, our approach creates a unified framework for Ramsey echo protocols with OAT states and measurements.

description: The ICOMOS-IFLA Principles Concerning Rural Landscape as Heritage (the Principles; 2017) provide a comprehensive outline of the fields and work required to better recognise and safeguard rural landscape heritage. The Principles acknowledge that the field of heritage conservation cannot sustain rural places and traditional rural heritage landscapes on their own, but must engage with a diverse breadth of disciplines to support and safeguard these spaces. The Principles seek to address loss and adverse changes to rural landscapes and their associated communities through the recognition, safeguarding, and promotion of their heritage values. They aim to promote an appropriate balance between economic, social, cultural, and environmental studies and practices. To achieve this, local communities, advocacy groups, and disciplinary experts must necessarily work together to achieve the aspirational goals presented in the Principles document.

The Principles provide specific measures related to understanding, protecting, sustainably managing, and communicating the heritage values of rural landscapes. This presentation will provide examples of the disciplinary expertise required to apply the Principles, with particular emphasis on the actions associated with understanding and documenting rural landscapes. We argue strongly for the need to engage with skills across the spectra of academic and applied disciplines, which include the humanities (e.g., history, philosophy, languages, cultural studies, religious studies, law, politics), social sciences (e.g., anthropology, archaeology, landscape architecture, heritage conservation, geography, economics), and sciences (e.g., geology, geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, botany, zoology). We also outline some of the methods – qualitative, quantitative, and comparative – necessary for interdisciplinary collaboration; and consider the role of post-humanism, integration of cultural and natural systems, and rights-based approaches in undertaking collaborative projects. We emphasise the need for all collaborative and intra-disciplinary work to be driven by local communities (as evidenced in many cooperative groups in the handicraft sector, for example).
The role of prosody and beat gesture in enhancing memory for discourse information in Mandarin

description: Both auditory (e.g., prosody) and visual cues (e.g., beat gesture) available in communication are important for listeners to comprehend discourse, given that speech is multimodal. While a vast amount of research has been devoted to investigating the role of prosody in discourse comprehension, it is surprising that relatively little research has been conducted to uncover how visual cues interact with auditory cues given the importance of visual cues in speech processing. This paper examines the roles of prosodic prominence and beat gesture in the memory for discourse information in Mandarin. A dominant role of prosody but not beat gesture was found in facilitating the memory for discourse information. This study contributes significantly to our limited knowledge of multimodal comprehension of focus, and how cues from multilevel sources are integrated.

title: Resiliency of rural socioecological landscapes: Case study of the Black Volta and Weto Landscapes of Ghana
Creators: name: Ortsin, George
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: In response to Ghana’s obligations under the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Global Environmental Fund Small Grants Program (SGP) adopted a resilience approach to sustainability, focusing on how to build local capacity to deal with unexpected landscape change. This paper will: (1) share experience from Ghana in restoring landscapes for resilient livelihoods, (2) present methodologies on how rural landscapes can be managed to ensure a sustainable and resilient supply of essential ecosystem services, and (3) discuss the challenges that are associated with these approaches. The paper will also discuss how Ghana’s Weto and Black Volta socio-ecological production landscapes enhanced food security as a strategy, how good practices for restoring and enhancing the landscape have been demonstrated, and how cultural revival and revitalization of traditions has helped shape the landscape.

Recognizing the role that local people play as external drivers of ecosystem dynamics, this approach explored ways that rural communities can interact sustainably with ecosystems while maintaining their spiritual, cultural and economic connections to the landscapes they inhabit. Using seven principles of resilience, SGP and its partners undertook a wide range of project interventions in over one-hundred rural communities aimed at creating resilience practices to strengthen the well-being of these communities and support key ecosystem functions and biodiversity conservation within a 250,000 ha landscape. The interventions had many different aims, among them to: maintain, revitalize and rebuild socio-ecological production landscapes promote food security, encourage learning systems, promote broader participation and adoption, and promote polycentric governance systems. The case study also identifies paradigm shifts in landscape management based on building a community’s capacity to ensure resilience while harnessing ecosystem services through innovation, adaptation, and governance.
Uptalk and the Frequency Code: How gender affects iconic associations of pitch

description: Meanings of linguistic features are generally taken to be socially constructed. According to the Frequency Code, however, uptalk, involving high, rising pitch, has iconic associations with small body size and female gender, which should influence its affective meanings, e.g., being associated with submissiveness or deference. While uptalk is reported to have some associations consistent with this, the Frequency Code approach assumes cultureand individual-specific ideological links, e.g., between submissiveness and femininity. We used Implicit Association Tests to measure associations between uptalk and each of body size and binary gender. Uptalk was robustly implicitly associated with gender and more weakly with body size. However, the strength and availability of these associations depended on the listeners’ gender, gender views and the gender of the voice. We propose physical associations with pitch provide an ‘extra-linguistic’ basis for meaning, but the salience and availability of these associations differs depending on individuals’ beliefs and experience.

description: Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the plant turmeric and the structural instability of which limits its further clinical applications. In this study, 11 curcumin analogs with more stable scaffold were prepared and evaluated. The results indicated that the optimal compound Y-11 exhibited the strongest antiproliferative activities against lung cancer cells including H460 and H1650. Further studies showed that Y-11 potentially inhibited hDHODH, induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis as well as down-regulated crucial signal pathway protein expression in H1650 cells. In the conclusion, the newly designed curcumin analog Y-11 may be suitable for further development in lung cancer treatment.

description: This paper will contribute a case study from the ICOMOS/IUCN Connecting Practice project that aims to develop new approaches to the recognition of interconnected character of natural and cultural values in heritage designation and management frameworks. Reflections on a case study from Phase III of this project (2018-2020) will focus on the natural and cultural systems that can support the resilience of agricultural and biocultural landscapes. Conducted in cooperation with the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and their program on ‘Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems’ (GIAHS), practical experience with rural landscapes/waterscapes will demonstrate how resilience and sustainability are supported by biocultural practices. This case study will provide insights for a panel discussion on how to more fully recognize the contributions from rural landscapes and mainstream them within the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda.

description: High-$κ$ metal oxides are a class of materials playing an increasingly important role in modern device physics and technology. Here we report theoretical investigations of the properties of structural and lattice dielectric constants of bulk amorphous metal oxides by a combined approach of classical molecular dynamics (MD) - for structure evolution, and quantum mechanical first principles density function theory (DFT) - for electronic structure analysis. Using classical MD based on the Born-Mayer-Buckingham potential function within a melt and quench scheme, amorphous structures of high-$κ$ metal oxides Hf$_{1-x}$Zr$_x$O$_2$ with different values of the concentration $x$, are generated. The coordination numbers and the radial distribution functions of the structures are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data. We then calculate the lattice dielectric constants of the materials from quantum mechanical first principles, and the values averaged over an ensemble of samples agree well with the available experimental data, and are very close to the dielectric constants of their cubic form.

description: The injection process of diesel engines influences the pollutant emissions. The spray formation is significantly influenced by the internal flow of the injector. One of the key parameters here is the generation of cavitation caused by the geometry and the needle lift.In modern diesel engines the injection pressure is established up to 3000 bar. The details of the flow and phase change processes inside the injector are of increasing importance for such injectors. With these experimental measurements the validation of multiphase and cavitation models is possible for the high pressure range. Here, for instance, cavitation effects can occur. Cavitation effects in the injection port area destabilize the emergent fuel jet and improve the jet break-up.The design of the injection system in direct-injection diesel engines is an important challenge, as the jet breakup, the atomization and the mixture formation in the combustion chamber are closely linked. These factors have a direct impact on emissions, fuel consumption and performance of an engine. The shape of the spray at the outlet is determined by the internal flow of the nozzle. Here, geometrical parameters, the injection pressure, the injection duration and the cavitation phenomena play a major role.In this work, the flow dependency in the nozzles are analysed with the Neutron-Imaging. The great advantage of this method is the penetrability of the steel structure while a high contrast to the fuel is given due to the interaction of the neutrons with the hydrogen amount. Compared to other methods (optical with glass structures) we can apply real components under highest pressure conditions. During the steady state phase of the injection various cavitation phenomena are visible in the injector, being influenced by the nozzle geometry and the fuel pressure. Different characteristics of cavitation in the sac and spray hole can be detected, and the spray formation in the primary breakup zone is influenced.

description: Historical separation of cultural and natural property values at World Heritage Sites (WHS) in determining a site’s Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) for evaluation and management purposes has often neglected intrinsic intangible elements such as traditional knowledge, biocultural practices and sustainable management systems that reflect human interaction at WHS. This project will review and analyze the integration of WHS values where biocultural practices and traditional management and knowledge structures exist and contribute to site sustainability and resilience.

description: The opportunity for renewable energy production in developing countries is a theme of high relevance within the context of climate change. In this paper we explore the production of electricity in Brazil and investigate the potential for sustainable biomass energy production. This is explored in a GIS system (1) establishing the demand centers or regions (energy demand factor), (2) checking if they can be served by existing capacity and transmission (transmission lines factor), (3) deciding on new generation and whether it will an island or the main grid connection (power plants factor), (4) locating the power plant subject to the potential biomass supply accepting the environmental constraints (land use and environmental preservation factors). Results show that even though large areas have a potential for biomass energy production, the lack of investments in technological improvements and changes in the system status quo result in a system that does not progress towards of becoming a cleaner, safer and less dependent on climatic factors. We conclude that biomass has the potential to grow as a source of renewable and clean energy. This potential can be explored by conserving respecting the environment and encouraging the creation of decentralized systems, thereby making Brazil a key player in the climate change targets in the coming years.

description: We compare the forcing related properties of a complete Boolean algebra B with the properties of the convergences $λ_s$ (the algebraic convergence) and $λ_{ls}$ on B generalizing the convergence on the Cantor and Aleksandrov cube respectively. In particular we show that $λ_{ls}$ is a topological convergence iff forcing by B does not produce new reals and that $λ_{ls}$ is weakly topological if B satisfies condition $(\hbar)$ (implied by the ${\mathfrak t}$-cc). On the other hand, if $λ_{ls}$ is a weakly topological convergence, then B is a $2^{\mathfrak h}$-cc algebra or in some generic extension the distributivity number of the ground model is greater than or equal to the tower number of the extension. So, the statement "The convergence $λ_{ls}$ on the collapsing algebra $B=\ro ((ω_2)^{

description: Scaling of information entropy obtained from chaotically produced particles in p-p collisions, has been shown to be valid up to the highest available collision energy at LHC. Results from Monte Carlo simulation model PYTHIA 6.135 have also been compared. Based on the two com- ponent model and collision energy dependence of the chaoticity, charged particle multiplicities at proposed higher collision energies have been predicted.

description: This paper aims to evaluate and characterize the impact of optimizing the operation of the HVAC system through maintaining dynamic CO2-based Demand-Controlled ventilation (DCV) on the electricity load profile and energy consumption of the sports training center of Leibniz University Hannover. The actual ventilation control scheme, in which the operation of the HVAC system is operated with a two-stage volume flow controller based on indoor CO2 concentration is improved through two steps to avoid overventilation and reduce power consumption. For this purpose, a detailed multi-zone model of the sports center and energy supply system has been developed in TRNSYS. In the first step, a multi-stage control scenario is implemented considering the occupancy schedules and indoor CO2 concentration measurement data. In the second step, based on an indoor CO2 concentration model, a predictive control scenario is developed and applied. Aiming at characterizing the influence of these operation scenarios on the power consumption of the building, the annual electricity load profiles of the simulation cases will be analyzed and compared with the actual load profile of the building based on the technical planning documents and data provided by building management system (BMS). Simulation results show that utilizing predictive CO2-based DCV leads to a reduction of the peak load electricity by almost 2 kW and the base load by 5 kW as well as decreasing the annual energy consumption by 40 %.

description: Committed individuals, who features steadfast dedication to advocating strong beliefs, values, and preferences, have garnered much attention across statistical physics, social science, and computer science. This survey delves into the profound impact of committed individuals on social dynamics that emerge from coordination games and social dilemma games. Through separate examinations of their influence on coordination, including social conventions and color coordination games, and social dilemma games, including one-shot settings, repeated settings, and vaccination games, this survey reveals the significant role committed individuals play in shaping social dynamics. Their contributions range from accelerating or overturning social conventions to addressing cooperation dilemmas and expediting solutions for color coordination and vaccination issues. Furthermore, the survey outlines three promising directions for future research: conducting human behavior experiments for empirical validation, leveraging advanced large language models as proxies for committed individuals in complex scenarios, and addressing potential negative impacts of committed individuals.

description: The Kibble-Zurek mechanism is applied to the spontaneous formation of vortices in a harmonically trapped thermal gas following a temperature quench through the critical value for Bose-Einstein condensation. Whereas in the homogeneous scenario, vortex nucleation is always expected, we show that it can be completely suppressed in the presence of the confinement potential whenever the speed of the spatial front undergoing condensation is lower than a threshold velocity. Otherwise, the interplay between the geometry and the causality leads to different scaling laws for the density of vortices as a function of the quench rate, as we also illustrate for the case of a toroidal trapping potential. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
