description: In this work, we employ the $\bar{\partial}$-steepest descent method to investigate the Cauchy problem of the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa (WKI) equation with initial conditions in weighted Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{R})$. The long time asymptotic behavior of the solution $q(x,t)$ is derived in a fixed space-time cone $S(y_{1},y_{2},v_{1},v_{2})=\{(y,t)\in\mathbb{R}^{2}: y=y_{0}+vt, ~y_{0}\in[y_{1},y_{2}], ~v\in[v_{1},v_{2}]\}$. Based on the resulting asymptotic behavior, we prove the soliton resolution conjecture of the WKI equation which includes the soliton term confirmed by $N(\mathcal{I})$-soliton on discrete spectrum and the $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ order term on continuous spectrum with residual error up to $O(t^{-\frac{3}{4}})$.

Reflexões sobre o Ensino da Pediatria em Portugal
Creators: name: Neto, Maria Teresa
Publisher: name: Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics

description: Resumo

O ensino da Pediatria deve ser encarado como o ensino da medicina integral de um grupo etário, com especificidades muito bem definidas e áreas únicas na medicina. Devem ser tomadas em consideração as sub especialidades que lhe são inerentes, á semelhança do que acontece na medicina dos adultos, sendo errado partir do pressuposto de que para a pediatria é necessário menos tempo de ensino.Embora saudável a competição e diversidade entre Faculdades de Medicina, seria desejável alguma uniformidade, um corpo comum de aprendizagem, nivelado por cima, pelo que é do máximo interesse a troca de experiências entre docentes e atenção à opinião dos discentes.No que respeita ao ensino pós graduado é urgente uma reforma que actualize os curricula ás exigências dos tempos modernos, permitindo que, no período oficial de formação, haja lugar para a sub especialização se o pediatra assim o entender e for entendida como útil.

description: We show that the first law for the rotating Taub-NUT is straightforwardly established with the surface charge method. The entropy is explicitly found as a charge, and its value is not proportional to the horizon area. We conclude that there are unavoidable contributions from the Misner strings to the charges, still, the mass and angular momentum gets standard values. However, there are no independent charges associated with the Misner strings.

description: Daily pandemic surveillance, often achieved through the estimation of the reproduction number, constitutes a critical challenge for national health authorities to design countermeasures. In an earlier work, we proposed to formulate the estimation of the reproduction number as an optimization problem, combining data-model fidelity and space-time regularity constraints, solved by nonsmooth convex proximal minimizations. Though promising, that first formulation significantly lacks robustness against the Covid-19 data low quality (irrelevant or missing counts, pseudo-seasonalities,.. .) stemming from the emergency and crisis context, which significantly impairs accurate pandemic evolution assessments. The present work aims to overcome these limitations by carefully crafting a functional permitting to estimate jointly, in a single step, the reproduction number and outliers defined to model low quality data. This functional also enforces epidemiology-driven regularity properties for the reproduction number estimates, while preserving convexity, thus permitting the design of efficient minimization algorithms, based on proximity operators that are derived analytically. The explicit convergence of the proposed algorithm is proven theoretically. Its relevance is quantified on real Covid-19 data, consisting of daily new infection counts for 200+ countries and for the 96 metropolitan France counties, publicly available at Johns Hopkins University and Sant{é}-Publique-France. The procedure permits automated daily updates of these estimates, reported via animated and interactive maps. Open-source estimation procedures will be made publicly available.

title: Die Critical Whiteness Studies
Creators: name: Sokoll, Tanja
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit behandelt die Benachteiligung von Schüler*innen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund aus der Perspektive der Critical Whiteness Studies. Der Ansatz der Critical Whiteness Studies geht davon aus, dass grundsätzlich alle Mitglieder einer Gesellschaft von Rassismus betroffen sind, aber das Weißsein innerhalb der Gesellschaft nicht thematisiert wird. Folglich stellt Weißsein eine unsichtbare Norm dar, die innerhalb der Gesellschaft hegemoniale Macht- und Dominanzverhältnisse aufrechterhält. Im Zuge der Masterarbeit wird thematisiert, inwiefern derartige Macht- und Dominanzverhältnisse in der Schule vorhanden sind und ob mithilfe der Critical Whiteness Studies die Benachteiligungen auf Faktoren der ungleichen Machtverteilung zurück zu führen sind. Der Fokus wird dabei auf Schüler*innen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund gelegt, da bereits einige Studien über die Benachteiligung jener Schüler*innen berichtet haben. Zudem sind vor allem Menschen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund in Österreich von Benachteiligungen und antimuslimischen Rassismen innerhalb der Gesellschaft betroffen. Im methodischen Teil der Masterarbeit werden mithilfe der hermeneutischen und lyrischen Analyse die Erfahrungen einer Slampoetin mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund anhand eines Poetry Slams interpretiert, um festzustellen, ob diskriminierende Erfahrungen in Verbindung mit dem Ansatz der Critical Whiteness Studies gebracht werden können.
description: This master thesis is focused on the discrimination of students with a Turkish migration background within the perspective of the Critical Whiteness Studies. Every single member in a society is affected by racism, also White people and there is an unofficial concealment about Whiteness. Consequently Whiteness is invisible in society and a part of hegemonic power and dominance. One aspect in this thesis is based on the questions if the hegemonic power dominance is also powerful in school and in the following if there is a connection between the discrimination of students and the unequal power distribution. Some educational researches have shown that students with a Turkish migration background are more often discriminated in school then their counterpart and it is also documented that people with a Turkish migration background are often victims of discrimination. The methodological part of the thesis focuses on the hermeneutically and lyrically analysis. The aim of this part is to analyse the experiences of a woman slam poet and to connect discriminating experiences with the Critical Whiteness Studies.
A History of the Dred Scott Case

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Until the last two decades most American histories had been written in New England and the writers, in considering the Dred Scott case, have merely emphasized the traditional bias their section. The account of Charles Warren in vol. 2 of "The Supreme Court in United States History", published in 1922, was one of the first impartial considerations of the available materials concerning the Dred Scott case. Since that time other contributions have been made which have finally brought to the student of legal history a reasonably correct picture of this famous case.To understand fully the Dred Scott case it is necessary to review briefly the development of the slavery question which furnishes its background. As will hereafter be pointed out the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia deliberately avoided the issue. It was the one great problem which that convention lacked the courage to face. Provision was made in the constitution that fugitive slaves should be returned and that Congress should not prohibit slave trade prior to 1808, but other than that no grant of power or provision of limitation expressly referred to the slave problem. The first Congress held under the constitution had hardly assembled, however, when the explosive question was presented to it. Curiously two problems which produced most stirring debates in the first Congress were the restriction of intoxicating liquors and slavery.

description: The Dirac equation in $(2+1)$ dimensions on the toroidal surface is studied for a massless fermion particle under the action of external fields. Using the covariant approach based on general relativity, the Dirac operator stemming from a metric related to the strain tensor is discussed within the Pseudo-Hermitian operator theory. Furthermore, analytical solutions are obtained for two cases, namely, constant and position-dependent Fermi velocity.

description: Systems that manage audio databases for sound description and retrieval could be really useful within a context of music production. In this thesis, one of these systems has been created using classification techniques, by the application of learning algorithms and audio feature selections on two datasets. One of them is composed by commercial sounds and the other one is formed with sounds from an online repository of Creative Commons audio content. Due to the fact that drums are a fundamental element on most of the musical genres nowadays, it is the family of instruments chosen to train and test the presented classification models. Research is focused on finding generalist drum instrument class and category models, understanding category as the source nature of the sample (acoustic or digital). Generalization on these models lead us to be able to classify different drum sound datasets, achieving good model and prediction accuracies. Combining these models with an annotation of our datasets with specific values of audio high-level descriptors (Brightness, Hardness, Roughness and Depth), a drum samples retrieval tool could be created and would open new possibilities for database management within a music production framework.
The Influence on Crystal Nucleation of an Order-Disorder Transition among the Subcritical Clusters

description: Studies of nucleation generally focus on the properties of the critical cluster, but the presence of defects within the crystal lattice means that the population of nuclei necessarily evolve through a distribution of pre-critical clusters with varying degrees of structural disorder on their way to forming a growing stable crystal. To investigate the role pre-critical clusters play in nucleation, we develop a simple thermodynamic model for crystal nucleation in terms of cluster size and the degree of cluster order that allows us to alter the work of forming the pre-critical clusters without effecting the properties of the critical cluster. The steady state and transient nucleation behaviour of the system are then studied numerically, for different microscopic ordering kinetics. We find that the models exhibits a generic order-disorder transition in the pre-critical clusters. Independent of the type of ordering kinetics, increasing the accessibility of disordered pre-critical clusters decreases both the steady state nucleation rate and the nucleation lag time. Furthermore, the interplay between the free energy surface and the microscopic ordering kinetics leads to three distinct nucleation pathways.

title: „Geflüchtete und Smartphones“ im medialen Diskurs
Creators: name: Ramos, Livia
Year: 2017

description: Im Sommer 2015 haben tausende Flucht_Migrierende die europäischen Grenzen erreicht. In deren Besitz, u.a. ein Smartphone. Das Smartphone, ein Symbol für Fortschritt und Wohlstand, in der Hand des/der in Westeuropa ankommenden Geflüchteten hat in Österreich und Deutschland bei vielen für Empörung gesorgt. Darauf haben unterschiedliche Online-Zeitungen mit Artikeln und Erklärungen zum Nutzen eines Smartphones im Kontext von Flucht reagiert. Anhand der Onlinezeitungsartikel wird die Problematik, die die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt, ersichtlich. Im Diskurs ‘Geflüchtete und Smartphones’ kann ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen ‘Eigenem’ und ‘Fremdem’, erkannt werden - ein Verhältnis das ohnehin von Diskriminierung und „kulturellem Rassismus“ charakterisiert ist. In Anlehnung an dekonstruktivistische Theorien wird den im Diskurs enthaltenen migrationsbezogenen Fremdheitskonstruktionen und Machtverhältnissen nachgegangen. Die Analyse erfolgt anhand der intersektionellen Mehrebenenanalyse nach Degele und Winker (2010). Die in der Methode berücksichtigten Ebenen (Identität, symbolische Repräsentation und Struktur) und dessen Verwobenheit dienen dazu, Macht- und Herrschaftsverhältnisse aufzudecken. Diese sind wiederum ein Verweis auf Verhältnisse sozialer Ungleichheit, die es gilt zu konfrontieren und abzubauen. Der Smartphonebesitz von den Neuankommenden lässt die imaginierte Grenze zwischen ‘Wir’ und ‘Nicht-Wir’ wanken - die aus dem Diskurs zu entnehmenden Versuche diese Grenze zu (de)stabilisieren scheinen widersprüchlich, Solidarisierung mit und Rassifizierung von Geflüchteten erfolgen zeitgleich. Das Sprechen über den Anderen entpuppt sich als Machtposition.

description: Deep learning has shown recent success in classifying anomalies in chest x-rays, but datasets are still small compared to natural image datasets. Supervision of abnormality localization has been shown to improve trained models, partially compensating for dataset sizes. However, explicitly labeling these anomalies requires an expert and is very time-consuming. We propose a potentially scalable method for collecting implicit localization data using an eye tracker to capture gaze locations and a microphone to capture a dictation of a report, imitating the setup of a reading room. The resulting REFLACX (Reports and Eye-Tracking Data for Localization of Abnormalities in Chest X-rays) dataset was labeled across five radiologists and contains 3,032 synchronized sets of eye-tracking data and timestamped report transcriptions for 2,616 chest x-rays from the MIMIC-CXR dataset. We also provide auxiliary annotations, including bounding boxes around lungs and heart and validation labels consisting of ellipses localizing abnormalities and image-level labels. Furthermore, a small subset of the data contains readings from all radiologists, allowing for the calculation of inter-rater scores.

description: We present an analytic model for clustered supernovae (SNe) feedback in galaxy disks, incorporating the dynamical evolution of superbubbles formed from spatially overlapping SNe remnants. We propose two realistic outcomes for the evolution of superbubbles in galactic disks: (1) the expansion velocity of the shock front falls below the turbulent velocity dispersion of the ISM in the galaxy disk, whereupon the superbubble stalls and fragments, depositing its momentum entirely within the galaxy disk, or (2) the superbubble grows in size to reach the gas scale height, breaking out of the galaxy disk and driving galactic outflows/fountains. In either case, we find that superbubble breakup/breakout almost always occurs before the last Type-II SN ($\lesssim$40 Myr) in the recently formed star cluster, assuming a standard high-end IMF slope, and scalings between stellar lifetimes and masses. The threshold between these two cases implies a break in the effective strength of feedback in driving turbulence within galaxies, and a resulting change in the scalings of, e.g., star formation rates with gas surface density (the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation) and the star formation efficiency in galaxy disks.

title: Regelhaftes und Strukturbildung im Kindergarten
Creators: name: Eisler, Denise
Year: 2017

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie zwei Beobachtungskin-der die morgendliche Begrüßungszeremonie in thailändischen Kindergärten erleben. Darüber hinaus wird die Frage diskutiert, ob dies Auswirkungen auf die Bildung der psychischen Strukturen beider Kinder hat und dies auch bei anderen Kindern der Fall sein könnte. Die Idee zu der vorliegenden MA-Arbeit ist in der Zusammenarbeit mit einem thailändischen Forscherteam im Zuge eines Workshops zum Thema „Auswirkungen von Regeln und Ritua-len auf die Entwicklung von Kindergartenkindern“ unter der Leitung von Prof. Wilfried Dat-ler am Institut für Bildungswissenschaft der Universität Wien entstanden. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit bildet die Auseinandersetzung mit den Beobachtungsprotokollen der Kindergartenkinder, wobei zuerst der Fokus auf das Erleben der morgendlichen Begrüßungs-zeremonie gelegt wird. Zur Analyse dieser Protokolle wurde die Methode der Young Child Observation herangezogen. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die Ergebnisse der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beobach-tungsprotokollen aus dem Blickwinkel eines Autors betrachtet, der sich unter einem erzie-hungswissenschaftlichen Aspekt mit Ritualen beschäftigt. Hierbei wird ersichtlich, dass es in der Ritualforschung einen Bereich gibt, der bisher noch nicht Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung war. Diese Arbeit kann somit die Aufmerksamkeit auf ein Thema lenken, welches durchaus lohnenswert wäre, zukünftig eingehender untersucht zu werden.
description: The purpose of this study is to investigate how two children in two different Thai pre schools experience the daily salutation ceremony, and furthermore if this kind of ceremony impacts the future developments of infantine mental structures. The idea for this master’s thesis arose during a transcultural workshop with Thai Professors from Srinakarinwirot University in Bangkok, headed by Prof. Wilfried Datler with the topic: “The impact of rules and rituals for the development of young children in the context of nursery schools: A transcultural approach”. The interpretation of the empirical observation material, using the “Young Child Observation” as a research method, forms the main part of the study. In the next step, the discussion results of the observation accounts are being reviewed, taking into account the aspects of a certain educational view held by a German author who is researching rituals in schools for many years. Finally, we can conclude that in the research of rituals, there is a topic, which has not been the object of scientific dispute. This master’s thesis draws attention to a proposition, which would be worthy of further investigations.

description: Chiral discrimination, a problem of vital importance, has recently become an emerging frontier in ultrafast physics, with remarkable progress achieved in multiphoton and strong-field regimes. Rydberg excitations, unavoidable in the strong-field regime and intentional for few-photon processes, arise in all these approaches. Here we show how to harness this ubiquitous feature by introducing a new phenomenon, enantiosensitive free-induction decay, steered by a tricolour chiral field at a gentle intensity, structured in space and time. We demonstrate theoretically that an excited chiral molecule accumulates an enantiosensitive phase due to perturbative interactions with the tricolour chiral field, resulting in a spatial phase gradient steering the free-induction decay in opposite directions for opposite enantiomers. Our work introduces a general, extremely sensitive, all-optical, enantiosensitive detection technique which avoids strong fields and takes full advantage of recent advances in structuring light.

description: Thermochemical equilibrium is one of the most commonly used assumptions in current exoplanet retrievals. As the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Ariel launch draw near, assessing the underlying biases and assumptions made when applying self-consistent chemistry into spectral retrievals is crucial. Here we use the flexibility of TauREx 3.1 to cross-compare three state of the art chemical equilibrium codes: ACE, FastChem and GGchem. We simulate JWST spectra for ACE, FastChem, GGchem and GGchem+condensation containing only C, H, O, N elements and spectra for FastChem, GGchem and GGchem+condensation with a more extensive range of elements giving seven simulated JWST spectra in total and then cross-retrieve giving a total of 49 retrievals. Our analysis demonstrates that like-for-like, all chemical codes retrieve the correct parameters to <1% of the truth. However, retrievals, where the contained elements do not match the truth, parameters such as metallicity deviate by 20% while maintaining extremely low uncertainties <1% giving false confidence. This point is of major importance for future analyses on JWST and Ariel, highlighting that self-consistent chemical scheme that do not employ the proper assumptions (missing species, fixed elemental ratios, condensation) are at risk of confidently biasing interpretations. Free chemistry retrievals employing parametric descriptions of the chemical profiles can provide alternative unbiased explorations.

In fact, we may even conclude that the hub of world history during the decade ended with the outbreak of the Great War was in Persia. This conclusion may upset some of those who have blamed Germany for the outbreak of the war. While there is no intention herein to whitewash Germany or to blame any other nation, we must all admit that all of the nations of Europe were violators of international law; that all of them were greedy beyond description; that they cared but little what means were used to achieve their aims; that they intrigued on each and every occasion, even when intrigue was entirely unneccessary; and that the international suspicion and ill-will thus engendered was bound to result in the most devastating war of history.

description: Controlling robotic manipulators with high-dimensional action spaces for dexterous tasks is a challenging problem. Inspired by human manipulation, researchers have studied generating and using postural synergies for robot hands to accomplish manipulation tasks, leveraging the lower dimensional nature of synergistic action spaces. However, many of these works require pre-collected data from an existing controller in order to derive such a subspace by means of dimensionality reduction. In this paper, we present a framework that simultaneously discovers a synergy space and a multi-task policy that operates on this low-dimensional action space to accomplish diverse manipulation tasks. We demonstrate that our end-to-end method is able to perform multiple tasks using few synergies, and outperforms sequential methods that apply dimensionality reduction to independently collected data. We also show that deriving synergies using multiple tasks can lead to a subspace that enables robots to efficiently learn new manipulation tasks and interactions with new objects.

description: Focusing on four-Higgs interactions, we analyse the robustness of tree-level-derived positivity bounds on Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) operators under quantum corrections. Among other results, we demonstrate that: (i) Even in the simplest extensions of the Standard Model, e.g. with one new scalar singlet or with a neutral triplet, some positivity bounds are strictly violated; (ii) the mixing of the dimension-eight operators under renormalisation, which we compute here for the first time, can drive them out of their positivity region; (iii) the running of the dimension-eight interactions triggered by solely dimension-six terms respects the positivity bounds. Our results suggest, on one hand, that departures from positivity within the SMEFT, if ever found in the data, do not necessarily imply the breaking of unitarity or causality, nor the presence of new light degrees of freedom. On the other hand, they lead to strong constraints on the form of certain anomalous dimensions.

description: In 2023, the FAIRagro project started its work as a consortium of almost 30 partnering organizations active in agrosystems research in Germany. FAIRagro is part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) initiative with its goal to set up a cross-domain research data infrastructure (RDI) conforming to the FAIR principles. The main objective is to establish an interoperable and scalable RDI by connecting available repositories to facilitate combined data analyses. Partly, existing agricultural data repositories involved in FAIRagro already use semantic resources like vocabularies and thesauri. For example, the Smart Rural Area Data Infrastructure (SRADI) developed and maintained by the Technical University of Munich leverages metadata vocabularies like DCAT and Dublin Core, but also strives for compatibility with well established geospatial data standards as provided by the Open Geospatial Consortium. The BonaRes Repository, as another example, was launched in 2017 at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) and manages soil-agricultural data from research projects. To address FAIR data principles, numerous open community standards, vocabularies and PIDs, e.g. INSPIRE and DataCite for metadata description, AGROVOC for keyword annotation and ORCID for author annotation are used.

Within that context, there are challenges especially regarding cross-linking of data sets and repositories and a need for cross-standard interoperability. Large Linked Data resources like AGROVOC can provide bridges through URI-based metadata annotations. For practical purposes, this however requires consistent use according to best practices, mappings and alignments. The presentation will illustrate how the FAIRagro project addresses these issues within its activities.

description: With much anticipation, in time and spirit, a group of historians and philosophers of biology, and theoretical and experimental biologists, met at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto, Canada, on 22 and 23 September 2023, to pay homage to Evelyn Fox Keller for her contributions to theoretical biology. The conference was supported and sponsored by the Department of Philosophy, Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Faculty of Arts and Science (all at University of Toronto), as well as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The workshop was an in-person celebration complementing the publication of a volume celebrating her work (Vicedo Walsh 2020a, 2020b), which includes the following contributions: (Herrington Jablonka 2020; Longo Mossio 2020; Radick 2020; Riskin 2020; Soto Sonnenschein 2020; Walsh 2020). After introductory remarks by Denis Walsh and a short video in which Evelyn Fox Keller thanked us for this homage and wished us well, we learned of her death.

description: Previous computations of strongly blue tilted axionic isocurvature spectra were computed in the parametric region in which the lightest time-dependent mass is smaller than the Hubble expansion rate during inflation, leading to an overdamped time evolution. Here we present the strongly blue tilted axionic isocurvature spectrum in an underdamped time evolution parametric regime. Somewhat surprisingly, there exist parametric regions with a strong resonant spectral behavior that leads to a rich isocurvature spectral shape. We focus on computing this resonant spectrum analytically in a large parametric region amenable to such computations. Because the spectrum is sensitive to nonperturbative classical field dynamics, a wide variety of analytic techniques are used including a time-space effective potential obtained by integrating out high frequency fluctuations.
