description: In this country, hundreds of thousands of old people are isolated from society and lonely as an outcome of urbanization and shifting family arrangements. They highlight the need for more mental health care, community outreach, and programs to identify and help those who are susceptible. The term ”lonely death” describes a person dying alone, frequently with no one around to see or be there in their last moments. This might occur as a result of social isolation, health problems, financial difficulties, or other factors. The emotional and social ramifications of these deaths highlight how important it is to avoid isolation and make sure that everyone has access to the care and assistance they require. Our project’s objectives are to keep an eye on the patient’s condition and identify any collapses, falls, or abrupt changes in heart rate. Additionally, it helps the user and notifies the authorities in an emergency or in case of discomfort by sending alerts.

description: Accurate long-term predictions are the foundations for many machine learning applications and decision-making processes. Traditional time series approaches for prediction often focus on either autoregressive modeling, which relies solely on past observations of the target ``endogenous variables'', or forward modeling, which considers only current covariate drivers ``exogenous variables''. However, effectively integrating past endogenous and past exogenous with current exogenous variables remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose ExoTST, a novel transformer-based framework that effectively incorporates current exogenous variables alongside past context for improved time series prediction. To integrate exogenous information efficiently, ExoTST leverages the strengths of attention mechanisms and introduces a novel cross-temporal modality fusion module. This module enables the model to jointly learn from both past and current exogenous series, treating them as distinct modalities. By considering these series separately, ExoTST provides robustness and flexibility in handling data uncertainties that arise from the inherent distribution shift between historical and current exogenous variables. Extensive experiments on real-world carbon flux datasets and time series benchmarks demonstrate ExoTST's superior performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines, with improvements of up to 10\% in prediction accuracy. Moreover, ExoTST exhibits strong robustness against missing values and noise in exogenous drivers, maintaining consistent performance in real-world situations where these imperfections are common.

description: Recommender systems predict personalized item rankings based on user preference distributions derived from historical behavior data. Recently, diffusion models (DMs) have gained attention in recommendation for their ability to model complex distributions, yet current DM-based recommenders often rely on traditional objectives like mean squared error (MSE) or recommendation objectives, which are not optimized for personalized ranking tasks or fail to fully leverage DM's generative potential. To address this, we propose PreferDiff, a tailored optimization objective for DM-based recommenders. PreferDiff transforms BPR into a log-likelihood ranking objective and integrates multiple negative samples to better capture user preferences. Specifically, we employ variational inference to handle the intractability through minimizing the variational upper bound and replaces MSE with cosine error to improve alignment with recommendation tasks. Finally, we balance learning generation and preference to enhance the training stability of DMs. PreferDiff offers three key benefits: it is the first personalized ranking loss designed specifically for DM-based recommenders and it improves ranking and faster convergence by addressing hard negatives. We also prove that it is theoretically connected to Direct Preference Optimization which indicates that it has the potential to align user preferences in DM-based recommenders via generative modeling. Extensive experiments across three benchmarks validate its superior recommendation performance and commendable general sequential recommendation capabilities. Our codes are available at https://github.com/lswhim/PreferDiff.

description: We consider the contextual combinatorial bandit setting where in each round, the learning agent, e.g., a recommender system, selects a subset of "arms," e.g., products, and observes rewards for both the individual base arms, which are a function of known features (called "context"), and the super arm (the subset of arms), which is a function of the base arm rewards. The agent's goal is to simultaneously learn the unknown reward functions and choose the highest-reward arms. For example, the "reward" may represent a user's probability of clicking on one of the recommended products. Conventional bandit models, however, employ restrictive reward function models in order to obtain performance guarantees. We make use of deep neural networks to estimate and learn the unknown reward functions and propose Neural UCB Clustering (NeUClust), which adopts a clustering approach to select the super arm in every round by exploiting underlying structure in the context space. Unlike prior neural bandit works, NeUClust uses a neural network to estimate the super arm reward and select the super arm, thus eliminating the need for a known optimization oracle. We non-trivially extend prior neural combinatorial bandit works to prove that NeUClust achieves $\widetilde{O}\left(\widetilde{d}\sqrt{T}\right)$ regret, where $\widetilde{d}$ is the effective dimension of a neural tangent kernel matrix, $T$ the number of rounds. Experiments on real world recommendation datasets show that NeUClust achieves better regret and reward than other contextual combinatorial and neural bandit algorithms.

Saprobic on decaying culms of Zea mays L. Sexual morph Undetermined. Asexual morph Hyphomycetous. Colonies on natural substratum superficial, sporodochia, scattered, compact, irregular, brown to black, glistening, with conidia readily liberated when disturbed. Conidiophores micronematous, mononematous, hyaline, reduced to conidiogenous cells, cylindrical, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous cells 7–11 × 8–11 μm (x̅ = 9 × 9.5 μm, n = 15), holoblastic, monoblastic, integrated, terminal, determinate, subglobose, hyaline, with guttulate. Conidia 24–30 × 15–18 μm (x̅ = 26.5 × 16.5 μm, n = 30), acrogenous, solitary, ellipsoidal to obovoid, muriform, 4–6 transverse septa, 3–4 longitudinal septa, flattened, smooth-walled, yellow-brown, constricted at the septa, with a hyaline conidiogenous cell attached.
Material examined:— THAILAND, Chiang Rai Province, Muang District, isolated as saprobic on decaying culms of Zea mays (Poaceae), 11 November 2020, X. G. Tian, corn1–7 (MFLU 21–0290, new host record).
Notes:— Phylogenetic analyses showed that our new isolate (MFLU 21–0290) grouped with two strains of P. chiangmaiense (MFLUCC 17–1809 and MFLUCC 17–2088) with strong statistical support (100 ML/1.00 PP, FIGURE 1). The morphology of our new isolate is similar to the holotype of P. chiangmaiense (MFLU 17–1118) except the smaller conidiogenous cells (x̅ = 9 × 9.5 μm vs. x̅ = 15 × 14 µm) (Hyde et al. 2019). Based on nucleotide comparisons, the new strain (MFLU 21–0290) is not significantly different from the ex-type isolate (MFLUCC 17–1809) in ITS, LSU and TEF-α. Therefore, we identified our isolate as P. chiangmaiense based on both phylogeny and morphology.
Pseudoberkleasmium chiangmaiense was introduced by Hyde et al. (2019) from an unidentified decaying wood in Thailand. Phukhamsakda et al. (2020) reported the new host record of P. chiangmaiense from Clematis fulvicoma, while, Bao et al. (2021) reported P. chiangmaiense from freshwater in China. Our collection was on Zea mays and herein we provide the first host record of P. chiangmaiense from Maize.

description: Neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0νββ$) is a rare nuclear process that, if observed, will provide insight into the nature of neutrinos and help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay (LEGEND) will operate in two phases to search for $0νββ$. The first (second) stage will employ 200 (1000) kg of High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) enriched in $^{76}$Ge to achieve a half-life sensitivity of 10$^{27}$ (10$^{28}$) years. In this study, we present a semi-supervised data-driven approach to remove non-physical events captured by HPGe detectors powered by a novel artificial intelligence model. We utilize Affinity Propagation to cluster waveform signals based on their shape and a Support Vector Machine to classify them into different categories. We train, optimize, test our model on data taken from a natural abundance HPGe detector installed in the Full Chain Test experimental stand at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We demonstrate that our model yields a maximum sacrifice of physics events of $0.024 ^{+0.004}_{-0.003} \%$. Our model is being used to accelerate data cleaning development for LEGEND-200 and will serve to improve data cleaning procedures for LEGEND-1000.

description: H. Glöckner and G. A. Willis have recently shown that locally pro-p contraction groups are nilpotent. The proof hinges on a fixed-point result: if the local field $\mathbb{F}_{p}(\!(t)\!)$ acts on its $d$-th power $\mathbb{F}_{p}(\!(t)\!)^{d}$ additively, continuously, and in an appropriately equivariant manner, then the action has a non-zero fixed point. We provide a short proof of this theorem.

description: In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in higher-order topological phases (HOTPs) across various disciplines within the field of physics. These unique phases are characterized by their ability to harbor topological protected boundary states at lower-dimensional boundaries, a distinguishing feature that sets them apart from conventional topological phases and is attributed to the higher-order bulk-boundary correspondence. Two-dimensional (2D) twisted systems offer an optimal platform for investigating HOTPs, owing to their strong controllability and experimental feasibility. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research advancements on HOTPs in 2D twisted multilayer systems. We will mainly review the HOTPs in electronic, magnonic, acoustic, photonic and mechanical twisted systems, and finally provide a perspective of this topic.

Creators: name: Blank, Cornelia
Year: 2011

description: Ein Hymnus ist eine Form des Gebets, deren Wurzeln bis zu den Ägyptern zurückreichen. Der jeweilige Gott, an den der Hymnus gerichtet ist, wird feierlich angerufen, um ihn Bitten gnädig zu stimmen. Mit der Verbreitung dieser Gebetsform einher ging auch die Fixierung des Hymnenschemas, die in der Regel aus drei Teilen besteht: der Anrufung (invocatio), einer Aufzählung von Eigenschaften und großen Taten (Aretalogie) und dem eigentlich Anliegen, den Bitten (precatio). Hymnen begegnen nicht nur in der heidnischen Antike bei den Griechen und Römern, sondern wurden auch in die christliche Religion übernommen. Der bedeutendste Dichter christlicher Hymnen war der im 4. Jahrhundert wirkende Mailänder Bischof und Kirchenvater Ambrosius, dem es mit seinen volksnahen, im Kampf gegen den Arianismus eingesetzten Hymnen gelang, dieser Form zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. Kurze Zeit später widmete sich der als kaiserlicher Beamter in Mailand wirkende, spanische Dichter Aurelius Prudentius Clemens der Dichtung christlicher Hymnen. Nach der Vorlage des ambrosianischen Hymnus Aeterne rerum conditor verfasste auch Prudentius einen Hymnus zur Gebetsstunde des Hahnenschreis, den Hymnus Ad Galli cantum. In der Forschung erkannte man sehr früh die Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Dichtungen. Die gezogenen Vergleiche fielen jedoch zumeist zugunsten eines Dichters aus, beschränkten sich auf einen einzelnen Aspekt oder wurden auf Basis einer eher überblicksmäßigen Betrachtung durchgeführt. Deshalb besteht das Ziel dieser Arbeit darin, einen umfassenden Vergleich zwischen den beiden Hymnen anzustellen, der nicht nur einen Aspekt, sondern möglichst viele Bereiche miteinschließt. Einerseits gehe ich kurz auf die Person der Dichter selbst ein, da bereits hier große Unterschiede festzustellen sind. Während Ambrosius als Bischof tätig war und seine Dichtung für den liturgischen Gebrauch, im speziellen für den Kampf gegen die Häresie des Arianismus, bestimmt, verfolgte Prudentius als Laie das Ziel, Leseliteratur für eine gebildete christliche Elite zu verfassen. Aus diesem Grund ergeben sich Differenzen in vielerlei Hinsicht. Zum einen betreffen sie die Länge der Hymnen, zum anderen Inhalt, Argumentationsführung und die Allegorie. Andererseits stelle ich die zwei Hymnen einzeln vor und erkläre sie. Dies soll einem besseren Verständnis für den anschließenden Vergleich dienen. Bei der Gegenüberstellung gehe ich so vor, dass ich auf der Grundlage des ambrosianischen Hymnus die wörtlichen und inhaltlichen Parallelen sowie Auslassungen und Erweiterungen durch Prudentius herausarbeite. Danach widme ich mich konkreten Aspekten, nämlich der Allegorie, der Präsenz von Gott-Vater und Gott-Sohn und der Petrusepisode. Durch diese umfassende Bearbeitung soll deutlich werden, dass der Hymnus des Prudentius nicht nur eine Nachdichtung des ambrosianischen Hymnus darstellt und die unterschiedlichen Ausgangssituationen sowie Intentionen des Ambrosius und des Prudentius zur Individualität der beiden Hymnen beitragen.

description: Youth implicated in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, as well as those with an incarcerated parent, are considered the most vulnerable Children in Need of Services (CHINS). We identified 1,160 of these at-risk youth (ages 13-17) who sought support via an online peer support platform to understand their adverse childhood experiences and explore how the internet played a role in providing an outlet for support, as well as potentially facilitating risks. We first analyzed posts from 1,160 youth who self-identified as CHINS while sharing about their adverse experiences. Then, we retrieved all 239,929 posts by these users to identify salient topics within their support-seeking posts: 1) Urges to self-harm due to social drama, 2) desire for social connection, 3) struggles with family, and 4) substance use and sexual risks. We found that the internet often helped facilitate these problems; for example, the desperation for social connection often led to meeting unsafe people online, causing additional trauma. Family members and other unsafe people used the internet to perpetrate cyberabuse, while CHINS themselves leveraged online channels to engage in illegal and risky behavior. Our study calls for tailored support systems that address the unique needs of CHINS to promote safe online spaces and foster resilience to break the cycle of adversity. Empowering CHINS requires amplifying their voices and acknowledging the challenges they face as a result of their adverse childhood experiences.

description: In his seminal proposal of quantum droplets in binary Bose mixtures {[}Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{115}, 155302 (2015){]}, Dmitry Petrov suggested that the density ratio $n_{2}/n_{1}$ of the two bosonic components are locked to an optimal value, which is given by the square root of the ratio of the two intra-species scattering lengths, i.e., $\sqrt{a_{11}/a_{22}}$. Due to such a density locking, quantum droplets can be efficiently described by using an extended Gross--Pitaevskii equation within the single-mode approximation. Here, we find that this single-mode description necessarily breaks down in the deep quantum droplet regime, when the attractive inter-species scattering length $a_{12}$ significantly deviates away from the threshold of mean-field collapse (i.e., $-\sqrt{a_{11}a_{22}}$). By applying a bosonic pairing theory, we show that the density ratio is allowed to fluctuate in a sizable interval. Most importantly, the optimal density ratio would be very different from $\sqrt{a_{11}/a_{22}}$, in the case of unequal intra-species scattering lengths ($a_{11}\neq a_{22}$). Our finding might provide a plausible microscopic explanation of the puzzling low critical particle number of quantum droplets, as experimentally observed. Our predicted interval of the density ratio, as a function of the inter-species scattering length, could also be experimentally examined in cold-atom laboratories in the near future.

description: Quantum process tomography is a useful tool for characterizing quantum processes. This task is essential for the development of different areas, such as quantum information processing. In this work, we present a protocol for selective continuous-variable quantum process tomography. Our proposal allows one to selectively estimate any element of an unknown continuous-variable quantum process in the position representation, without requiring the complete reconstruction of the process. By resorting to controlled squeezing and translation operations, and adaptatively discretizing the process, a direct measure of an estimate of any process element can be obtained. Furthermore, we show, supported by numerical simulations, how the protocol can be used to partially reconstruct on a region a continuous-variable quantum process.

description: ELECTRE TRI-nB is a method designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several attributes into ordered categories. It is an extension of ELECTRE TRI-B, using several limiting profiles, instead of just one, to delimit each category. ELECTRE TRI-nB comes in two flavours: pseudo-conjunctive and pseudo-disjunctive. In a previous paper we have characterized the ordered partitions that can be obtained with ELECTRE TRI-nB, pseudo-conjunctive, using a simple axiom called linearity. The present paper is dedicated to the axiomatic analysis of ELECTRE TRI-nB, pseudo-disjunctive. It also provides some combinatorial results.

description: Die Sexualität von Menschen mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen ist seit Jahren ein oft diskutiertes und zunehmend erforschtes Thema im Berufsfeld der Sozialpädagogik. Beinahe ausgeschlossen wird dabei jedoch die Thematik von Menschen mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen und einer homo- oder bisexuellen Orientierung. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Entwickeln, Erleben und Leben von Homo- und Bisexualität als Mensch mit mentaler Beeinträchtigung.

Die beigezogenen Studien ergaben einen Handlungsbedarf aus unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen. Die Autorin kam zur Erkenntnis, dass beinahe alle Aussagen der Studienteilnehmenden als Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die sozialpädagogische Arbeit gesehen werden können. Einige wenige stellten sich als Grenzen heraus. Durch das Öffnen von Handlungsspielräumen können jedoch Aspekte daraus für die Soziale Arbeit Berufsrelevanz gewinnen. Eine konkrete Möglichkeit zeigt die Autorin mit dem Konzept «Sexuell selbstbestimmt leben in Wohneinrichtungen» auf. Die Autorin stellte weiter fest, dass eine Lücke in der Forschung besteht. Aus der Perspektive der Sozialen Arbeit bewertet sie diese als problematisch. Des Weiteren kommt die Autorin zur Erkenntnis, dass die Thematik der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung von Menschen mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen und einer homo- oder bisexuellen Orientierung als äusserst wichtig für die Soziale Arbeit zu bewerten ist. Sie stellt die These auf, dass durch die Diskrepanz zwischen der Forderung nach sexueller Selbstbestimmung für Menschen mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen und einer homo- oder bisexuellen Orientierung und dem aktuellen Forschungsstand bezüglich dieser Thematik die Umsetzung von sexueller Selbstbestimmung für Menschen mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen und einer homo- oder bisexuellen Orientierung in der Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit stark erschwert wird.

description: Brain tumor detection in multiplane Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) slices is a challenging task due to the various appearances and relationships in the structure of the multiplane images. In this paper, we propose a new You Only Look Once (YOLO)-based detection model that incorporates Pretrained Knowledge (PK), called PK-YOLO, to improve the performance for brain tumor detection in multiplane MRI slices. To our best knowledge, PK-YOLO is the first pretrained knowledge guided YOLO-based object detector. The main components of the new method are a pretrained pure lightweight convolutional neural network-based backbone via sparse masked modeling, a YOLO architecture with the pretrained backbone, and a regression loss function for improving small object detection. The pretrained backbone allows for feature transferability of object queries on individual plane MRI slices into the model encoders, and the learned domain knowledge base can improve in-domain detection. The improved loss function can further boost detection performance on small-size brain tumors in multiplanar two-dimensional MRI slices. Experimental results show that the proposed PK-YOLO achieves competitive performance on the multiplanar MRI brain tumor detection datasets compared to state-of-the-art YOLO-like and DETR-like object detectors. The code is available at https://github.com/mkang315/PK-YOLO.

description: The Local Universe (D < 120 Mpc) has been intensely studied for decades, with highly complete galaxy redshift surveys now publicly available. These data have driven density reconstructions of the underlying matter density field, as well as constrained simulations that aim to reproduce the observed structures. In this paper, we introduce a dispersion measure (DM) model that makes use of this detailed knowledge of our Local Universe within D < 120 Mpc. The model comprises three key components: (i) the DM from the Milky Way halo and the intra-group medium (up to 3.4 Mpc), derived from the HESTIA simulations, a series of constrained hydrodynamic simulations designed to reproduce our Local Group; (ii) the DM contribution from the large-scale intergalactic medium beyond the Local Group (3.4 Mpc < D < 120 Mpc), calculated using the HAMLET reconstructed matter density field; and (iii) the individual DM contributions from Local Universe galaxy halos and clusters based on data from the 2MASS Galaxy Group Catalog and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database. This comprehensive model will be made available as a Python package. As the most realistic model to date for DM in the local volume, it promises to improve the constraints of DM contributions from the Intergalactic Medium and Circumgalactic Medium of FRBs, thereby enhancing the accuracy of cosmic baryon distribution calculations based on DM analysis of FRBs.

description: Physical phenomena such as chemical reactions, bond breaking, and phase transition require molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with ab initio accuracy ranging from milliseconds to microseconds. However, previous state-of-the-art neural network based MD packages such as DeePMD-kit can only reach 4.7 nanoseconds per day on the Fugaku supercomputer. In this paper, we present a novel node-based parallelization scheme to reduce communication by 81%, then optimize the computationally intensive kernels with sve-gemm and mixed precision. Finally, we implement intra-node load balance to further improve the scalability. Numerical results on the Fugaku supercomputer show that our work has significantly improved the time-to-solution of the DeePMD-kit by a factor of 31.7x, reaching 149 nanoseconds per day on 12,000 computing nodes. This work has opened the door for millisecond simulation with ab initio accuracy within one week for the first time.

description: We consider an extended seesaw model which generates active neutrino masses via the usual type-I seesaw and leads to a large number of massless fermions as well as a sterile neutrino dark matter (DM) candidate in the $\mathcal{O}(10-100) {\rm~keV}$ mass range. The dark sector comes into thermal equilibrium with Standard Model neutrinos after neutrino decoupling and before recombination via a U(1) gauge interaction in the dark sector. This suppresses the abundance of active neutrinos and therefore reconciles sizeable neutrino masses with cosmology. The DM abundance is determined by freeze-out in the dark sector, which allows avoiding bounds from X-ray searches. Our scenario predicts a slight increase in the effective number of neutrino species $N_{\rm eff}$ at recombination, potentially detectable by future CMB missions.

description: We study the finite temperature and edge induced effects on the charge and current densities for a massive spinor field localized on a 2D conical space threaded by a magnetic flux. The field operator is constrained on a circular boundary, concentric with the cone apex, by the bag boundary condition and by the condition with the opposite sign in front of the term containing the normal to the edge. In two-dimensional spaces there exist two inequivalent representations of the Clifford algebra and the analysis is presented for both the fields realizing those representations. The circular boundary divides the conical space into two parts, referred as interior (I-) and exterior (E-) regions. The radial current density vanishes. The edge induced contributions in the expectation values of the charge and azimuthal current densities are explicitly separated in the both regions for the general case of the chemical potential. They are periodic functions of the magnetic flux and odd functions under the simultaneous change of the signs of magnetic flux and chemical potential. In the E-region all the spinorial modes are regular and the total charge and current densities are continuous functions of the magnetic flux. In the I-region the corresponding expectation values are discontinuous at half-integer values of the ratio of the magnetic flux to the flux quantum. 2D fermionic models, symmetric under the parity and time-reversal transformations (in the absence of magnetic fields) combine two spinor fields realizing the inequivalent representations of the Clifford algebra. The total charge and current densities in those models are discussed for different combinations of the boundary conditions for separate fields. Applications are discussed for electronic subsystem in graphitic cones described by the 2D Dirac model.

description: Medical imaging diagnosis increasingly relies on Machine Learning (ML) models. This is a task that is often hampered by severely imbalanced datasets, where positive cases can be quite rare. Their use is further compromised by their limited interpretability, which is becoming increasingly important. While post-hoc interpretability techniques such as SHAP and LIME have been used with some success on so-called black box models, the use of inherently understandable models makes such endeavours more fruitful. This paper addresses these issues by demonstrating how a relatively new synthetic data generation technique, STEM, can be used to produce data to train models produced by Grammatical Evolution (GE) that are inherently understandable. STEM is a recently introduced combination of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), Edited Nearest Neighbour (ENN), and Mixup; it has previously been successfully used to tackle both between-class and within-class imbalance issues. We test our technique on the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) and the Wisconsin Breast Cancer (WBC) datasets and compare Area Under the Curve (AUC) results with an ensemble of the top three performing classifiers from a set of eight standard ML classifiers with varying degrees of interpretability. We demonstrate that the GE-derived models present the best AUC while still maintaining interpretable solutions.

title: weiße Flecken in der antirassistischen Bildungsarbeit?
Creators: name: Dieckmann, Susanne
Year: 2011

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit der Reflexion hegemonialen weißseins in rassismuskritischen Bildungsmaterialien. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, entlang postkolonialer und weißseinskritischer Fragestellungen Formen weißer Dominanz innerhalb antirassistischer Bildungsarbeit sichtbar zu machen. Zentrales Anliegen ist es dabei, die 'Normalität' von Rassismus aufzuzeigen und zu verdeutlichen, dass Rassismus kein gesellschaftliches Randphänomen ist, sondern konstitutives Element der mehrheitsösterreichischen Gesellschaft darstellt. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Annahme, dass auch im Bereich der rassismuskritischen Bildungsarbeit, Formen weißer Dominanz und rassistische gesellschaftliche Hierarchien fortgeschrieben werden. Im Rahmen einer Analyse von zwei zentralen Materialien aus dem Bereich der rassismuskritischen Bildungsarbeit wird untersucht, ob sich mit Methoden der Kritischen weißseinsforschung in rassismuskritischen Bildungsmaterialien Formen weißer Dominanz herausarbeiten lassen. Postkoloniale und weißseinskritische Debatten, die in den theoretischen Grundlagen erarbeitet werden, bilden die Basis für das Analyseraster, das im zweiten Teil der Arbeit konkretisiert wird. In einem dritten Schritt werden die Materialien entlang des Analyserasters diskutiert. Dabei geht es nicht darum, alle Formen weißer Dominanz in den Bildungsmaterialien zu finden, sondern in aussagekräftigen Beispielen auf Widersprüche, aber auch auf bedenkenswerte Vorschläge für Veränderung hinzuweisen.
description: The thesis at hand deals with the reflection of hegemonic whiteness within anti-racist educational materials. The goal of this paper is to make forms of white dominance within anti-racist education visible, along the lines of postcolonial and critical white questioning. Thereby, a key demand is to demonstrate the ‘normality’ of racism and to illustrate that racism is not a marginal social phenomenon, but rather represents a constitutive element of the majority society in Austria. The paper is based upon the assumption that forms of white dominance and racist social hierarchies are also carried forward within the field of educational work that purports to critically deal with racism. Within the framework of an analysis of two key materials from the field of anti-racist educational work, this paper attempts to work out if forms of white dominance (, and the ways in which they operate,) can be identified within educational materials that critically deal with racism, using methods of critical whiteness studies. Postcolonial and critical whiteness debates, which are extrapolated in the theoretical foundations, build the basis for the analytical framework, which is substantiated in the second part of the paper. In a third step, the materials are discussed using the analytical framework. In doing so, the aim is not to find all the forms of white within the educational materials, but rather to point out contradictions, but also resistant potential.

description: As Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) continue to expand, AI-driven applications (xApps) are increasingly being deployed enhance network management. However, developing xApps without formal verification risks introducing logical inconsistencies, particularly in balancing energy efficiency and service availability. In this paper, we argue that prior to their development, the formal analysis of xApp models should be a critical early step in the O-RAN design process. Using the PRISM model checker, we demonstrate how our results provide realistic insights into the thresholds between energy efficiency and service availability. While our models are simplified, the findings highlight how AI-informed decisions can enable more effective cell-switching policies. We position formal verification as an essential practice for future xApp development, avoiding fallacies in real-world applications and ensuring networks operate efficiently.

description: We derive the equation for pressure within a neutron star, taking into account a non-zero cosmological constant ($Λ$). We then examine the stability of the neutron star's equilibrium state in the presence of cosmological constant. Our analysis shows that the theorem used to assess the stability of stellar structures at equilibrium remains applicable to neutron stars even when a cosmological constant is considered. We further numerically solve the stellar structure equations and determine the mass of neutron star using different equations of state (EOS). Moreover, we observe that the value of the cosmological constant ($Λ\geq 10^{-11} \rm m^{-2}$) causes a significant change in the mass-radius relationship of neutron stars.

Mining the Minoria: Unknown, Under-represented, and Under-performing Minority Groups

description: Due to a variety of reasons, such as privacy, data in the wild often misses the grouping information required for identifying minorities. On the other hand, it is known that machine learning models are only as good as the data they are trained on and, hence, may underperform for the under-represented minority groups. The missing grouping information presents a dilemma for responsible data scientists who find themselves in an unknown-unknown situation, where not only do they not have access to the grouping attributes but do not also know what groups to consider.
 This paper is an attempt to address this dilemma. Specifically, we propose a minority mining problem, where we find vectors in the attribute space that reveal potential groups that are under-represented and under-performing. Technically speaking, we propose a geometric transformation of data into a dual space and use notions such as the arrangement of hyperplanes to design an efficient algorithm for the problem in lower dimensions. Generalizing our solution to the higher dimensions is cursed by dimensionality. Therefore, we propose a solution based on smart exploration of the search space for such cases. We conduct comprehensive experiments using real-world and synthetic datasets alongside the theoretical analysis. Our experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solutions in mining the unknown, under-represented, and under-performing minorities.

description: We consider a general dynamical, spherically symmetric background in the cubic subclass of Horndeski theory and obtain the quadratic action for the perturbations using the DPSV approach. We analyse the stability conditions for high-energy modes and study the issue of the no-go theorem in the current subclass of Horndeski theory. We formulate the no-go theorem for weak dependence on one variable (time or radial) and derive its generalization to the cases which could be reduced by coordinate transformation to scenarios where the scalar field has weak dependence on one of the coordinates. Moreover we show that wide class of singular solutions are also prohibited within the cubic subclass of Horndeski theory.
