title: Das Leben, Wirken und Erinnern an die Salonièren Wiens
Creators: name: König-Taschner, Laura
Year: 2022

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit werden die Fachbegriffe Salon, Salonièren, Habitués wie auch die Salonkultur und -geschichte beschrieben und erläutert. Daran schließen Lebensbilder von drei ausgewählten Wiener Salonièren an, wobei vor allem deren gesellschaftliches und kulturelles Wirken in und für Wien skizziert wird. Dies dient als Grundlage für die in der Arbeit aufgeworfenen Fragestellungen: Wie steht es um den heutigen Kenntnisstand über die Salonièren Wiens? Und wie kann das damit verbundene Umfrageergebnis über diesen Kenntnisstand interpretiert werden? Hierfür wurden einerseits die Methodik der Biografieforschung angewandt und andererseits für das Kapitel, welches sich mit dem Kenntnisstand der Wiener Bevölkerung beschäftigt, eine Online-Umfrage durchgeführt, wobei 199 Umfragebögen ausgewertet wurden. Das Ergebnis zeigt deutlich, dass der Wissenstand rund um die Salonièren und deren Wirken weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten ist und Salondamen zumeist nur noch vom Namen her gekannt werden. Mögliche Ursachen dafür werden erwogen.

description: Liquid hydrogen is a dense Bose fluid whose equilibrium properties are both calculable from first principles using various theoretical approaches and of interest for the understanding of a wide range of questions in many body physics. Unfortunately, the pair correlation function $g(r)$ inferred from neutron scattering measurements of the differential cross section $dσ\over dΩ$ from different measurements reported in the literature are inconsistent. We have measured the energy dependence of the total cross section and the scattering cross section for slow neutrons with energies between 0.43~meV and 16.1~meV on liquid hydrogen at 15.6~K (which is dominated by the parahydrogen component) using neutron transmission measurements on the hydrogen target of the NPDGamma collaboration at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The relationship between the neutron transmission measurement we perform and the total cross section is unambiguous, and the energy range accesses length scales where the pair correlation function is rapidly varying. At 1~meV our measurement is a factor of 3 below the data from previous work. We present evidence that these previous measurements of the hydrogen cross section, which assumed that the equilibrium value for the ratio of orthohydrogen and parahydrogen has been reached in the target liquid, were in fact contaminated with an extra non-equilibrium component of orthohydrogen. Liquid parahydrogen is also a widely-used neutron moderator medium, and an accurate knowledge of its slow neutron cross section is essential for the design and optimization of intense slow neutron sources. We describe our measurements and compare them with previous work.

description: We study domain wall (DW) motion induced by spin waves (magnons) in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The DMI exerts a torque on the DW when spin waves pass through the DW, and this torque represents a linear momentum exchange between the spin wave and the DW. Unlike angular momentum exchange between the DW and spin waves, linear momentum exchange leads to a rotation of the DW plane rather than a linear motion. In the presence of an effective easy plane anisotropy, this DMI induced linear momentum transfer mechanism is significantly more efficient than angular momentum transfer in moving the DW.

description: Photoelectron spectroscopy earlier probed oscillations in C60 valence emissions, producing series of minima whose energy separation depends on the molecular cavity. We show here that the quantum phase at these cavity minima exhibits variations from strong electron correlations in C60, causing rich structures in the emission time delay. Hence, these minima offer unique spectral zones to directly explore multielectron forces via attosecond RABITT interferometry not only in fullerenes, but also in clusters and nanostructures for which such minima are likely abundant.

title: Stadtentwicklung entlang der U1 in Wien und daraus resultierende Möglichkeiten für reale und virtuelle Exkursionen im GWK-Unterricht
Creators: name: Kronlechner, Thomas
Year: 2022

description: Städte unterliegen permanent zahlreichen Einflussfaktoren, welche zu bestimmten Stadtentwicklungsprozessen führen und somit auch das Leben der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner maßgeblich beeinflussen. Exkursionen sind in den österreichischen Lehrplänen verankert. Der Besuch von außerschulischen Lernorten hat besonders im Unterrichtsfach Geographie und Wirtschaftskunde einen hohen Stellenwert. Die Betrachtung urbaner Räume im GWK-Unterricht ist sowohl in der Unterstufe als auch in der Oberstufe mit verschiedenen Anknüpfungspunkten vorgeschrieben und soll von den Lehrkräften im Unterricht dementsprechend thematisiert werden. Aus diesen Gründen zeigt der theoretische Teil der vorliegenden Masterarbeit auf, von welchen Veränderungen die Stadt Wien betroffen ist und wie sich diese auf das Stadtbild auswirken. Nach einer Lehrplananalyse zum Thema „Urbane Räume“ werden Kompetenzen aufgeschlüsselt, die Schülerinnen und Schüler im GWK-Unterricht erlangen müssen. Folgend werden in der Theorie die Exkursionen als besondere Form des außerschulischen Lernens vorgestellt. Unter Berücksichtigung der relevanten Rahmenbedingungen wird im Anschluss geklärt, wie Exkursionsbeispiele für die Schule ausgearbeitet werden sollen. Im praktischen Teil der Arbeit sind abschließend sechs Exkursionsbeispiele zu finden, die eine themenorientierte Untersuchung von ausgewählten Orten in Wien anleiten.
description: Cities are permanently subject to numerous influencing factors that lead to certain urban development processes and thus also significantly affect the lives of the inhabitants. Excursions are anchored in the Austrian curricula. Visiting extracurricular places of learning is particularly important in the subject of Geography and Economics. The consideration of urban spaces in Geography lessons is prescribed both in the lower secondary school and in the higher secondary school with different points of reference and should be addressed accordingly by teachers during the lessons. For these reasons, the theoretical part of this master’s thesis shows which changes the city of Vienna is affected by and how they affect the cityscape. After a curriculum analysis on the topic of "Urban Spaces", competences are broken down which pupils must acquire in Geography lessons. Following this, excursions are introduced in theory as a special form of extracurricular learning. Considering the relevant framework conditions, it is then clarified how excursion examples should be worked out for school. Finally, the practical part of the work contains six excursion examples that guide a topic-oriented investigation of selected places in Vienna.
Justification and Critique of Educational Reforms in Austria: How Teachers and Head Teachers (Re-)Frame New Governance
Creators: name: Graß, Doris
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: Against the backdrop of a new governance regime of schools in Austria, which combines policies of decentralisation and school autonomy with an accountability program of standardised outcome control, this article explores how the so called “agents of change” – teachers and headteachers – take up these ideas and corresponding governance instruments and frame them on grounds of moral considerations. The aim is to present a theoretical framework for analysing – at the individual level – moments of critical evaluation and affirmative justification of more general political actions as well as of every day’s work practices. Approach: Drawing on the concept of orders of justification and the pragmatist theory of conventions, a qualitative, interview-study with 15 teachers and head teachers in Austrian middle schools was conducted with the intention to discover a repertoire of educational conventions applied by the actors to criticise or justify reform-based decisions, expectations and subjective claims to work. Findings: Besides presenting seven conventions, the article puts a special focus on arguments and corresponding conventions that – on one hand – characterise an economic perspective on schools and education (the market, industrial and flexible convention) and are thus important in deciding whether the new education governance regime is supported by an ‘economised’ constellation of frames that teachers and head teachers use to interpret their actions as well as others. One the other hand, the role of the civic convention receives special attention in relation to the aforementioned ones to include a further aspect into the diagnosis of an economisation of educational practices.

Cosmopolitan Citizenship Education: Realistic Political Program or Program to Disillusioned Powerlessness? A Plea for a Critical Power Perspective within Global Citizenship Education
Creators: name: Eis, Andreas
name: Moulin-Doos, Claire
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: The aim of the research is to determine to what extent one can talk about “cosmopolitan citizenship” not only programmatically, but also as an already functioning entity. And what role can and should civic education play in the development of such a citizenship? Methods: A working definition of citizenship at the national, supranational, and global level is developed with the help of political theory and European and international law. Several theses on the understanding of cosmopolitan citizenship in Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development programs are discussed thanks to a policy analysis of, for example, UNESCO documents. Findings: Supranational programs and German curriculum-recommendations are mostly reduced to the level of rights-holders and if “political action” is envisaged then it is mostly focused on its individual dimension of (private) social responsibility i.e. in its post-political dimension. This lacks analysis of global power conflicts and of the question of democratic participation on supranational policy regulation. Practical implications: There are implications for curriculum development and implementation of educational policy.

title: Politische Eliten in (post-)sozialistischen autoritären Systemen
Creators: name: Sattler, Richard Karl
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit einem Vergleich der Rolle politischer Eliten in der Sowjetunion (UdSSR) im Zeitraum von 1964 bis 1982 und der Russichen Föderation im Zeitraum von 1999 bis 2018. Im Kontext der Konzepte des Spätsozialismus und Postsozialismus soll durch die Hauptfragestellung erläutert werden, welche struktuerellen Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten sich im Zuge eines Vergleichs der AkteurInnenkonstellation feststellen lassen. Die Operationalisierung erfolgt anhand der Deskription des institutionellen Settings, sowie durch die Eruierung der Zusammensetzung, Rekrutierungs- und Zirkulationsmustern von EliteakteuerInnen im Rahmen des jeweiligen politischen Systems. Ausgehend von der Theoriedebatte über den Begriff der Elite, sowie der Einbeziehung des Ansatzes der Positionsmethode, wird der Terminus „politische Elite“ hinsichtlich seiner Reichweite und Erklärungsfähigkeit im Hinblick auf die Rolle von AkteuerInnen für die Stabilität eines politischen Systems hin eingegrenzt. Durch die Kontextualisierung mit den Ansätzen der Transformationsforschung, allen voran einer kritischen Lesart des Theorems der Transitologie („transition to democracy“) erfolgt hierfür eine weitere Präzisierung. Unter Berücksichtigung des akteurssspezifischen Fokus, erfolgt eine Auseinandersetzung mit den strukturellen Merkmalen politischer Eliten. Dadurch werden systematische Rückschlüsse über die intrinsischen Mechanismen der Stabilisierung des jeweiligen Regimetypus aufgrund der jeweiligen EliteakteurInnen ermöglicht.
description: This thesis deals with a comparison of the role of political elites in the Soviet Union (USSR) in the period from 1964 to 1982 and the Russian Federation in the period from 1999 to 2018. In the context of the concepts of Late Socialism and Postsocialism, the main question deals with structural differences and similarities which can be determined in the course of a comparison of the political actors. The operationalization is based on the description of the institutional setting, as well as by determining the composition and patterns of recruitment and circulation of elite actors within the framework of the political systems. Based on the theoretical debate on the concept of Elite and the Positional Approach, the term "Political Elite" will be discussed regarding its scope and ability to explain the role of elite actors for the stability of a political system. A further specification will be made by the contextualization with a critical reading of Transitology ("transition to democracy"). The main purpose lays on the examination of the structural characteristics of political elites enables a systematic conclusion about the mechanisms of stabilization of the specific type of political regime based on its constellation of political elite actors.

description: We compute the correction to the photon emission rate in first order of shear components of fluid velocity gradients, $σ_{ij}$, in near-equilibrium hydrodynamic plasma at strong coupling regime, using the real-time Schwinger-Keldysh formalism in AdS/CFT correspondence. Our result is an integral of an analytic expression. We observe that the gradient correction to the photon emission rate at strong coupling is about 0.3 - 0.4 times of the equilibrium rate in units of $σ_{ij}/T$.

Year: 2018

description: Purpose: The Québec Ministry of Education has introduced – as of September 2017 – a new mandatory course focusing on financial literacy and addressing such issues as credit scores, loans, taxes and budgets. This announcement has created intense educational debate on the raison d’être and content of the course. This article will summarise the heated debate and will examine content knowledge and the type of ‘good’ citizens that the course seeks to create. Method: We use thematic content analysis to identify textual patterns and themes in the Québec Education Program (QEP) pertaining to financial literacy. Findings: Our assumption is that the QEP reproduces and shapes a personally responsible citizen at the expense of systemic criticism and justice-oriented citizenship education, according to Westheimer and Kahne (2004)’s typology.

description: In the last years, stellar migration in galactic discs has been the subject of several investigations. However, its impact on the chemical evolution of the Milky Way still needs to be fully quantified. In this paper, we aim at imposing some constraints on the significance of this phenomenon by considering its influence on the chemical evolution of the Milky Way thin disc. We do not investigate the physical mechanisms underlying the migration of stars. Rather, we introduce a simple, heuristic treatment of stellar migration in a detailed chemical evolution model for the thin disc of the Milky Way, which already includes radial gas flows and reproduces several observational constraints for the solar vicinity and the whole Galactic disc. When stellar migration is implemented according to the results of chemo-dynamical simulations by Minchev et. al. (2013) and finite stellar velocities of 1 km s$^{-1}$ are taken into account, the high-metallicity tail of the metallicity distribution function of long-lived thin-disc stars is well reproduced. By exploring the velocity space, we find that the migrating stars must travel with velocities in the range 0.5 -2 km s$^{-1}$ to properly reproduce the high-metallicity tail of the metallicity distribution. We confirm previous findings by other authors that the observed spread in the age-metallicity relation of solar neighbourhood stars can be explained by the presence of stars which originated at different Galactocentric distances, and we conclude that the chemical properties of stars currently observed in the solar vicinity do suggest that stellar migration is present to some extent.

description: Aoyama et al. (2021, ApJL) provided scaling relations between hydrogen-line luminosities and the accretion luminosity for planetary-mass objects. These fits should be an improvement over blind extrapolations of stellar relations. The fits go up only to the n = 8 electron energy level, but higher-n Balmer lines have been observed in the near-UV at Delorme 1 (AB)b with UVES (Ringqvist et al. 2023). We extend the scaling relations to higher-n levels for the Balmer and other series by fitting the fit coefficients (a, b) themselves and extrapolating them. Within the assumption of an accretion shock as the source of line emission, these fits should be robust for accreting planetary-mass objects.

"Places of Remembrance": Spaces for Historical and Political Literacy. A Lesson Report
Creators: name: Offen, Susanne
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: The article shows the use of specific educational media in social studies in vocational schools to foster a differentiated historical and political literacy. Design/methodology/approach: Accordingly, the article examines a sequence of lessons taught by the author in a vocational classroom, fostering reflexive historical-political awareness of Germany’s post-war coping with the fascist constitution 1933-1945 and specifically of contemporary legal proceedings concerning the persecution and subsequent murder of six million Jewish people during the Holocaust. Findings: Teaching techniques comprise explorative learning through guided city walks, document analysis and expert visits, in-class-discussions, the and individual student-teacher-conversations and, particularly, contact with exhibits employed as educational media, originating from an art exhibition in public space covering various unsettling steps of exclusion against Jewish citizens before 1942. These materials turn out to bridge the gap from ignorance to learning by the acquisition of knowledge, demonstrating the use of artistic visual representations as educational media in the social studies classroom, especially while addressing students with little prior knowledge and understanding. Research limitations/implications: As a lesson report, the article draws on classroom observations. Practical implications: The approach presented includes various implications for classroom application.

Generating local spectral skies for spectral daylight simulations using radiative transfer libraries
Creators: name: Balakrishnan, Priji
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Spectral daylight simulations are the new frontiers of daylighting simulations. They are becoming increasingly important in the lighting field to predict Non-Image Forming (NIF) responses of light and more accurate predictions of colour and temporal patterns of daylight. One of the significant inputs to spectral daylight simulations is spectral sky data that impact prediction accuracy and colour rendering abilities. While measured spectral sky data is scarce due to the requirements of high-end spectral measurement devices, spectral skies can be simulated using physics-based radiative transfer programs like libRadtran. LibRadtran is an open-source library with standard atmospheric profiles for its application, which is also utilised by spectral daylighting simulation platforms like ALFA, based on Radiance. However, libRadtran's standard profile can be customised to generate location-specific skies with measured atmospheric inputs like water vapour, pressure, oxygen and other atmospheric constituents. This presentation introduces a framework for generating location-specific spectral daylight and sunlight using libRadtran with typically measured atmospheric parameters like water vapour, pressure, ozone, and aerosol.

Year: 2018

description: Purpose: This article assesses how different aspects of the school climate relate to students’ intended future electoral engagement. Until now, political socialization researchers found evidence for a relation between formal citizenship education in school and students’ participation levels. There is less consensus, however, in how multiple aspects of informal political socialization can contribute to individuals' participatory acts. Method: To learn more about several aspects of informal political socialization and their relevance for student intended electoral participation this work draws on educational sciences and political socialization literature and focuses on multiple dimensions of school climate (cf. Konold, 2014; Lenzi, 2014) and their relationship to future electoral engagement. We rely on the English and Irish International Civic and Citizenship Survey (ICCS) 2009 data to operationalize multiple dimensions of the school climate. We estimate a structural equation model in which school climate is measured by indicators based on student and teacher questionnaire data aggregated at the school level. The relationship between multiple dimensions of school climate and student future electoral participation is tested. Findings: We find that in order to engage students in voting; schools should focus not only on the formal curriculum but also on more informal aspects (the school climate). Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.

description: We study the impact of double and triple scattering contributions on coherent backscattering of laser light from saturated isotropic atoms, in the helicity preserving polarization channel. Using the recently proposed diagrammatic pump-probe approach, we analytically derive single-atom spectral responses to a classical polychromatic driving field, combine them self-consistently to double and triple scattering processes, and numerically deduce the corresponding elastic and inelastic spectra, as well as the total backscattered intensities. We find that account of the triple scattering contribution leads to a faster decay of phase-coherence with increasing saturation of the atomic transition as compared to double scattering alone, and to a better agreement with the experiment on strontium atoms.

DMSA: Dynamic Multi-scale Unsupervised Semantic Segmentation Based on Adaptive Affinity
Creators: name: Yang, Kun
name: Lu, Jun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The proposed method in this paper proposes an end-to-end unsupervised semantic segmentation architecture DMSA based on four loss functions. The framework uses Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module to enhance feature extraction. At the same time, a dynamic dilation strategy is designed to better capture multi-scale context information. Secondly, a Pixel-Adaptive Refinement (PAR) module is introduced, which can adaptively refine the initial pseudo labels after feature fusion to obtain high quality pseudo labels. Experiments show that the proposed DSMA framework is superior to the existing methods on the saliency dataset. On the COCO 80 dataset, the MIoU is improved by 2.0, and the accuracy is improved by 5.39. On the Pascal VOC 2012 Augmented dataset, the MIoU is improved by 4.9, and the accuracy is improved by 3.4. In addition, the convergence speed of the model is also greatly improved after the introduction of the PAR module.

Finanzinformierte Bürger_innen, bürgerbestimmtes Finanzsystem: Ein Essay aus Anlass des International Handbook of Financial Literacy
Creators: name: Willis, Lauren E.
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2018

description: Zielsetzung: Überall in der Welt sieht der dominante Diskurs „Finanzbildung“ als notwendig und ausreichend an, um das Wohl Einzelner und der Gesellschaft zu verbessern. Erkenntnisse: In diesem Essay wird argumentiert, dass Finanzbildung weder notwendig noch ausreichend ist und dass die Förderung der Finanzbildung ein abwegiger Ansatz ist, um unzureichende Finanzierung von Renten, Überschuldung, Finanzkrisen und andere soziale Missstände in den Griff zu bekommen, wie es Regierungen und Pädagog_innen von dieser Maßnahme erhofft haben. Stattdessen wird hier angeregt, das Ziel von Finanzbildung darin zu sehen, finanzinformierte Bürger_innen heranzuziehen, die die Fähigkeit zum bürgerschaftlichen Engagement besitzen, das eine von den Bürger_innen bestimmte Wirtschaftspolitik und Finanzregulierung hervorbringen kann.

Civic Education under Pressure? A Case Study from an Austrian School

Year: 2018

description: When the politician Roman Haider of the party Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ – Freedom Party of Austria) caused the interruption of a lecture about political extremism in an Austrian school in spring 2017, a heated debate erupted over the place of politics in school education. While Haider accused the lecturer of political propaganda, teachers, students and political opponents were upset about this seeming act of censorship. The controversy raises important questions over the aims and principles of civic education, which will continue to engage teachers and educationalists.

Is there a "too big to fail" problem in the field?

description: We use the Arecibo legacy fast ALFA (ALFALFA) 21cm survey to measure the number density of galaxies as a function of their rotational velocity, $V_\mathrm{rot,HI}$ (as inferred from the width of their 21cm emission line). Based on the measured velocity function we statistically connect galaxies with their host halo, via abundance matching. In a lambda cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmology, dwarf galaxies are expected to be hosted by halos that are significantly more massive than indicated by the measured galactic velocity; if smaller halos were allowed to host galaxies, then ALFALFA would measure a much higher galactic number density. We then seek observational verification of this predicted trend by analyzing the kinematics of a literature sample of gas-rich dwarf galaxies. We find that galaxies with $V_\mathrm{rot,HI} \lesssim 25$ $\mathrm{km} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ are kinematically incompatible with their predicted $Λ$CDM host halos, in the sense that hosts are too massive to be accommodated within the measured galactic rotation curves. This issue is analogous to the "too big to fail" problem faced by the bright satellites of the Milky Way, but here it concerns extreme dwarf galaxies in the field. Consequently, solutions based on satellite-specific processes are not applicable in this context. Our result confirms the findings of previous studies based on optical survey data and addresses a number of observational systematics present in these works. Furthermore, we point out the assumptions and uncertainties that could strongly affect our conclusions. We show that the two most important among them -namely baryonic effects on the abundances of halos and on the rotation curves of halos- do not seem capable of resolving the reported discrepancy.

Creating Democratic Class Rooms in Asian Contexts: The Influences of Individual and School Level Factors on Open Classroom Climate

description: Purpose: Literature indicates that open classroom climate (OCC) is a positive influence on civic outcomes. Few studies have explored factors that appear to facilitate OCC. Most research on OCC has focused on Western countries. The emphasis has been on individual student characteristics related to OCC with little attention made to school level effects. The purpose of the present study was to investigate both individual and school level influences on OCC using Asian student samples. Methodology: Data were drawn from the five Asian societies that participated in the 2009 International Civics and Citizenship Education Study. Multilevel regression analysis was used to test individual and school level relationships in the data. Findings: There were significant differences among the five societies with regard to student perceptions of OCC. At the individual level, results showed the importance of good student-teacher relationships, students’ discussion experiences outside school, and civic participating at school for promoting OCC. Civic knowledge and self-efficacy were positively related to OCC in four Asian societies. The roles of school level predictors differed from society to society, some predictors even working in the opposite direction. Different cultural contexts, local policies, and school system characteristics might account for these differences.

Longer nilpotent series for classical unipotent subgroups
Creators: name: Maglione, Joshua
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Group Theory (math.GR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In studying nilpotent groups, the lower central series and other variations can be used to construct an associated $\mathbb{Z}^+$-graded Lie ring, which is a powerful method to inspect a group. Indeed, the process can be generalized substantially by introducing $\mathbb{N}^d$-graded Lie rings. We compute the adjoint refinements of the lower central series of the unipotent subgroups of the classical Chevalley groups over the field $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ of rank $d$. We prove that, for all the classical types, this characteristic filter is a series of length $Θ(d^2)$ with nearly all factors having $p$-bounded order.
