description: The interaction between polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was studied in order to determine the effect of the molecular weight and concentration of PVP on the development of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant, SDS. Each of three different molecular weights of polymer was examined at two concentration levels. The results of the experiments showed that two types of micelles were formed, and the CMC was determined for both types. For the first micelle type, the CMC was at 3.1 mM of SDS. For the second micelle type, the CMC was in the region of 9.5 to 11.2 mM of SDS.

Year: 2023

description: Simultaneous detection of polyvalent cations and nitrate anion at pH 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 was performed using a gluconate-borate eluent with a single column anion chromatography system. Both conductivity and ultraviolet detection were employed in a modified chromatographic system, with the cation complexing reagent, 4-(2 pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR), being used for cation analysis. The investigation was performed on a Waters IC PAK column with 50ppm nitrate solutions of Zn$\sp{2+}$, Cu$\sp{2+}$, Pb$\sp{2+}$, Cd$\sp{2+}$, Ca$\sp{2+}$, Mg$\sp{2+}$, Ni$\sp{2+}$, and Mn$\sp{2+}$, to elucidate their retention times. The nature of interaction of these cations with the eluent and effects of changing the eluent pH were studied. The retention times of the ions were determined, the chromatograms contained one or two extraneous peaks called system peaks, formed due to the complexation of cations with the eluent. Both the cation and the nitrate peaks showed a decrease in retention with an increase in pH.

description: This paper provides the first evidence on gender differences in investment financing, credit application and credit denial rates in Germany. The empirical analysis is carried out on a sample of firms drawn from the KfW Mittelstandspanel, a representative survey of German SMEs for the period from 2003 to 2009. Our results suggest that in female-owned firms the share of internal capital in investment financing is higher and the share of external funds is lower than for male-owned firms. An analysis of the supply- and demand-side on the credit market shows that women are not more likely to be denied credit but the probability that they apply for credit is on average lower. Yet, this gender difference in the probability of credit application is only evident when considering firms with negative or neutral sales expectations. There is no significant gender difference in credit application rates of firms with positive sales expectations.

description: We present a lattice determination of the $\Lambda$ parameter in three-flavor QCD and the strong coupling at the Z pole mass. Computing the nonperturbative running of the coupling in the range from $0.2\,$GeV to $70\,$GeV, and using experimental input values for the masses and decay constants of the pion and the kaon, we obtain $\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}^{(3)}=341(12)\,$MeV. The nonperturbative running up to very high energies guarantees that systematic effects associated with perturbation theory are well under control. Using the four-loop prediction for $\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}^{(5)}/\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}^{(3)}$ yields $\alpha^{(5)}_{\overline{\rm MS}}(m_{\rm Z}) = 0.11852(84)$.

Espiritualidade e sofrimento estão vinculados, sendo que a crença pessoal é importante fator emocional positivo, serve como fonte de esperança e fortalece relações com os outros e um olhar mais introspectivo e harmonioso para si próprio.

Refletindo sobre a espiritualidade podemos acolher aquele que sofre diante de males físicos ou da proximidade da morte buscando sempre a melhor qualidade de vida.
Sexual Arousability Inventory: A cross-cultural study
Creators: name: Jerez, Eugene Mena
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study was designed to (a) investigate the reliability and validity of the Sexual Arousability Inventory - Expanded for black, white and Hispanic subjects; (b) examine gender and ethnic group differences on sexual arousal, anxiety, satisfaction and behavior; and (c) explore the relationship of anxiety and arousability. The three sub-scales of the SAI-E were found to be internally consistent across subjects. Validity for the Arousal sub-scale was noted for all groups except white women; The Anxiety scale was valid for white women and men and Hispanic men. The Satisfaction scale was valid with all groups of women and black men. Group comparisons found that white women reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction than black women. White subjects reported more varied sexual experience than black subjects; Hispanic subjects fell in between. Women who reported higher anxiety rated themselves lower in arousability. For men this relationship was not obtained.

Distribution. India (Tamil Nadu; Puducherry; West Bengal); Indonesia, Sumatra, Java (Kimsey & Bohart 1991).
Remarks. We could not examine Smith’s type specimen deposited at Oxford. However, we examined the series of Chrysis comottii from Celebes deposited in Gribodo’s collection (MSNG). Gribodo examined Smith’s type (handwritten label pinned with Gribodo specimen) and for this reason we consider reliable his identifications. Gribodo’s specimens match the original description, in particular for colouration and punctation on mesosoma, whereas in the major European collections of Mocsáry (HNHM), Linsenmaier (MNLU), and Zimmermann (NHMW), another species from Celebes and Java was identified as Chrysis comottii. This species is characterized by mesosoma with sparse punctation and green olive colouration. For this reason, all specimens identified as Chrysis comottii from India should be double checked.

description: All components installed to the European XFEL cavity string modules underwent an intensive inspection and quality control before acceptance for installation to cavities or modules. Even though some RF feed throughs for HOM coupler- and Pick Up antennas showed leaks at the ceramic insulation after module test at 2 K.  Due to time restriction and continuity of production the exchange of these parts needed to be done without reentering the cleanroom. Successful repair of these modules took place by setting up a local cleanroom onto the cavity string.In collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), a cavity string for the ELBE project was assembled at DESY and transported to HZDR for installation to the vacuum vessel.A spare module with 3.9 GHz resonators for the European XFEL was set up at DESY and will be tested and qualified for the European XFEL. Due to delay in delivery of the power couplers, four power couplers were installed after string assembly.

description: In this paper, I would like to put forward the claim that, at least in some central cases, visualising consists literally in imagining seeing. The first section of my paper is concerned with a defence of the specific argument for this claim that M. G. F. Martin presents in his paper 'The Transparency of Experience' (Martin 2002). This argument has been often misunderstood (or ignored), and it is worthwhile to discuss it in detail and to illusÂ­trate what its precise nature is and why I take it to be sound. In the second section, I present a second and independent argument for the claim that visualising is imagining seeing, which is not to be found in Martin's writings, despite some crucial similarities with his own argument ‒ notably in the focus on the subjective aspects of visual experience. The last section deals with a particular objection to the idea that imagining takes perception as its direct object and says a bit more about how best to understand this claim.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Sportverhalten von Jugendlichen sowie deren Einstellungen zu, bzw. Bedürfnisse und Interessen an Aktivitäten im Zuge von Eventmaturareisen. Es wird der Bedeutung der Faktoren Sport, Bewegung und Action auf Eventmaturareisen nachgegangen. Der theoretische Teil am Anfang der Arbeit zeigt die aktuelle Situation und die Grundlagen der Zielgruppe Jugend sowie der Erlebnisgesellschaft im Allgemeinen. Ergänzend erfolgt eine Beschreibung der speziellen Merkmale der Eventmaturareisen sowie verwandter Reiseformen. Im anschließenden empirisch-quantitativen Part werden die Ergebnisse zweier getrennter Befragungen dargestellt. Zur Erfassung der Bedürfnisse an, der Einstellungen zu und der Einschätzungen von sportlichen Aktivitäten erfolgte eine Befragung von 1.139 Schüler/innen vor der Eventmaturareise. Nach der Reise nahmen aus der ursprünglich befragten Gruppe noch 841 Maturant/innen an einer Folgebefragung teil. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die Selbsteinschätzung bezüglich sportlicher Aktivität vor der Reise hoch ist, bzw. dass sportliche Aktivitäten während der Reise als wichtig eingestuft werden. Die motivierten Jugendlichen sehen sich schon als intensive Nutzer des Sportangebots. Praktisch nimmt aber das Sportprogramm eine untergeordnete Rolle ein, denn nur eine geringe Anzahl der Maturant/innen werden tatsächlich aktiv. Viele Jugendliche setzen auf die Aktivierung durch ihre Freunde, die jedoch vor Ort häufig ausbleibt. Unabhängig von diesem Gesamt-Trend sind männliche Teilnehmer auf der Eventmaturareisen sportlich aktiver als Teilnehmerinnen, bei denen auch die Abweichung gegenüber der Selbsteinschätzung höher liegt. Die genannten Motive für sportliche Betätigung sind nicht nur geschlechtsspezifisch sondern auch abhängig davon, ob sie vor oder nach der Maturareise benannt werden. Es werden abweichende Aktivierungsgründe vor und nach der Reise als relevant angegeben.

description: Der Artikel untersucht das Verhältnis von Emotion und Gefühl. Primär widmet er sich der Frage der begrifflichen Notwendigkeit von 'Gefühl' begriffen als eine viszerale Körperwahrnehmung für 'Emotion' als eines praktisch-repräsentationalen Zustandes. Gegen die Gefühlstheorien (James, Damasio, Goldie, Prinz u.a.) und für die Anschauungstheorien (Döring, Johnston, R. A. Putnam, Roberts) der Emotionen präsentiere ich zwei Argumente für die These, dass 'Gefühl' im Sinne der Gefühlstheoretiker nicht begrifflich notwendig ist für einen emotionalen Zustand und weshalb andererseits die Integration der Gefühlskomponente keine  theoretische Hürde für die Anschauungstheorie aufwirft, sondern sich vielmehr als implizite Konsequenz in Anwendung auf biologisch erwartbare Vernunftwesen ergibt.

Ich argumentiere dafür, dass dieses Erfordernis ein Selbstbewusstsein auf Seiten der selbstrepräsentierenden mentalen Zustände voraussetzt, das sich seinerseits nicht auf Repräsentationen reduzieren lässt - was sich als Problem für Kriegels Theorie erweist.

title: Politik mit Schmäh (?)
Creators: name: Hruska, Lennart-Pascal
Year: 2013

description: Panelinterviews stellen wiederkehrende Herausforderungen für PolitikerInnen dar, in denen sie sich nicht nur gegen ihre Kontrahenten behaupten, sondern vor allem auch ihre Punkte gegen die teils angriffigen Fragen der InterviewerInnen durchsetzten müssen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde anhand der im Fernsehen ausgestrahlten Wahlkonfrontationen zur Wiener Landtags- und Gemeinderatswahl 2010 der Einsatz von Humor als Fragebeantwortungsstrategie in diesem Setting untersucht. Die Analyse erfolgte mittels der linguistischen Gesprächsanalyse. Humor kommt gleichermaßen in gewissenhaften Fragebeantwortungen als auch Antworten, in denen eine direkte Beantwortungen umgangen wird, zum Einsatz: Der überwiegende Teil der humorvollen Äußerungen ist dabei aggressiver Natur. Mit ihnen werden vor allem die Kontrahenten während der eigenen Fragebeantwortung angegriffen; das humorvolle Angreifen der Frage ist ebenso eine gängige Strategie. Unüblich ist hingegen das Verspotten der InterviewerInnen. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass ernste (d.h. nicht humorvolle) Angriffe auf die Vertreter der Presse allerdings eine gängige Strategie sind. Bemerkenswert ist ebenso, dass der Einsatz von Humor entweder als Mittel zum Angriff, d.h. um ein Argument humorvoll zu starten, oder als Mittel zum Gegenangriff mit der politischen Ausgangslage korreliert. Während bei den OppositionspolitikerInnen der Einsatz als Angriff überwiegt, setzt der amitierende Bürgermeister/Landeshauptmann Humor vor allem zur Verteidigung ein. Nicht-aggressiver Humor kommt in politischen Grundsatzerklärungen und beim Zugeben von eigenen Schwachpunkten vor. Vor allem beim letzteren zeigt sich der Einsatz von Humor als hilfreich. Das Publikum und teilweise die Interviewer reagieren auf das humorvolle Zugeben mit unterstützendem Lachen.

The J-curve of rising and declining satisfactions as an explanation of Costa Rican conflict: A historical and quantitative review
Creators: name: Yockel, Peter Donald
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The question of when members of a polity engage in collective conflict and why is a complicated one. The "J-curve of Rising and Declining Satisfactions" developed by James C. Davies explains the causes of social conflict by using the frustration and aggression paradigm. However most tests of the J-curve are incomplete, dealing only with discrete instances of conflict over short periods of time. This paper attempts to test the J-curve by reviewing the conflict behavior in Costa Rica over nine decades by using both a historical and quantitative methodology as recommended by Duff and McCamant (Violence and Repression in Latin America) and the Relative Deprivation and conflict typologies developed by Gurr (Why Men Rebel). The J-curve is confirmed in part as four of the five periods of extreme Relative Deprivation occurring within Costa Rica during the relevant period resulted in significant conflict behavior.

(Figs 29 A–29F, 30A–30E)
Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) cotesi du Buysson, 1893: 249. Lectotype ♂ designated by Bohart in Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 447; India: Karnataka: Bangalore [= Bengaluru] (MNHN) (examined).
Chrysis cotesi: du Buysson 1896b: 472 (key, descr., quadridentatae group, Maharashtra: Poona [= Pune]; Karnataka: Kanara; South Guzerat [= Gujarat], Central provinces, Bangalore, Mysore); Bischoff 1913: 50 (cat., India); du Buysson 1898a: 134 (cat., North Konkan, Matheron); du Buysson 1898b: 529 (cat., Bengal), 552 (cat., Pondicherry); Bingham 1903: 438 (key), 470–471 (descr., Gujarat: Deesa, Central Provinces and Western India, Karnataka: Bangalore [= Bengaluru], Mysore, probably throughout continental India); Jonathan et al. 1977: 87 (widely distributed species in India).
Chrysis palliditarsis Spinola, 1838: Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 447 (cat., syn., Bangalore, comparata-scutellaris group).
Material examined. 1 ♂, Lectotype, Museum Paris Inde, Bangalore, Coll. R. du Buysson 1900, ♂ (MNHN); 1 ♀, South India, Karikal, without further data (NHMW).
Distribution. India (Gujarat; Karnataka; Maharashtra; Bengal and Central provinces (locality not specified)).
Remarks. Kimsey & Bohart (1991) synonymised Chrysis cotesi du Buysson, 1893 with Ch. palliditarsis Spinola, 1838. Nevertheless, this rather common Indian species does not belong to the scutellaris group, but to the similar viridissima group. We agree with all other authors who treated Chrysis cotesi as a distinct species and revalidate it here. Chrysis cotesi can be easily separated from Ch. palliditarsis by transverse frontal carina vanishing (vs. sharp and M-shaped), face longitudinally elongate (vs. transverse), male with darker brown tarsi (vs. yellowish to whitish in C. palliditarsis), pronotum medially elongate (vs. unmodified), mesoscutal punctation shallow, with large, polished interspaces (vs. punctation coarse, without interspaces), mesoscutellum distinctly elongate (vs. unmodified), postero-lateral mesoscutal corner dentate before tegula (vs. unmodified), metasomal punctation shallow and with large, polished interspaces (vs. largely and densely punctate).

description: Intersubjektivität ist ein Schlüsselbegriff in neueren entwicklungspsychologischen und sozialphilosophischenTheorien des Selbst und seiner Genese mit je unterschiedlichen Akzentuierungen und Bedeutungen. Am Beispiel des Mentalisierungs-Modells von Fonagy et al. (2002) und der Theorie des Selbst von C. Taylor (1989) werden Unterschiede im Verständnis von Intersubjektivität und ihrerBedeutung für die Genese des Selbst vergleichend dargestellt und kritisch aufeinander bezogen.

description: Der wirtschaftsphilosophische Diskurs steht gegenwärtig stark unter der Vorherrschaft einer wirtschaftsethischen Herangehensweise. Wirtschaftsethik ist indes nur ein Aspekt des Gesamtspektrums von Wirtschaftsphilosophie. Hinter der ethischen sowie erkenntnistheoretischen Abgrenzung der Philosophie von der Ökonomie in der Antike verbirgt sich sehr viel mehr als nur das, nämlich eine noch heute spektakuläre Erweiterung des ökonomischen Wahrnehmungs-, Denk- und Handlungshorizontes.

description: The question of when members of a polity engage in collective conflict and why is a complicated one. The "J-curve of Rising and Declining Satisfactions" developed by James C. Davies explains the causes of social conflict by using the frustration and aggression paradigm. However most tests of the J-curve are incomplete, dealing only with discrete instances of conflict over short periods of time. This paper attempts to test the J-curve by reviewing the conflict behavior in Costa Rica over nine decades by using both a historical and quantitative methodology as recommended by Duff and McCamant (Violence and Repression in Latin America) and the Relative Deprivation and conflict typologies developed by Gurr (Why Men Rebel). The J-curve is confirmed in part as four of the five periods of extreme Relative Deprivation occurring within Costa Rica during the relevant period resulted in significant conflict behavior.

description: Das heutige Regime der Erdölpreisfeststellung, basierend auf den Referenzölsorten WTI und Brent und dem Terminhandel über Rohstoffbörsen, hebt sich von früheren Preisregimen ab. Die wichtigsten Terminkontrakte auf Referenzöle wie NYMEX Light Crude Oil Futures und Brent Futures gelten als aussagekräftige Indikatoren für die Marktakteure. Allerdings werden immer wieder die Effizienz der globalen Rohölmärke und die Aussagekraft des Ölpreises in Frage gestellt. Als Ursachen für falsche Preissignale nennen unterschiedliche Autoren die Höherbewertung der Erdölreserven aus politischen Interessenskonstellationen, die Unsicherheit der Ölversorgung aus politisch instabilen Ländern und die zunehmende Bedeutung der Lagerkapazitäten und Raffinerien, die sich nur träge an die wachsende Nachfrage anpassen. Den Spread (Preisunterschied) zwischen den Erdölsorten WTI und Brent zu arbitrieren (risikolos Preisunterschiede nützen) ist schwierig. Direkt an den Finanzmärkten ist es nicht möglich, da es sich um unterschiedliche Kontrakte handelt. Allerdings ist eine de facto physische Arbitrage möglich, da es sich um Rohstoffe mit beinahe gleichen Eigenschaften handelt. Allerdings ist die physische Arbitrage des in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auftretenden Preisunterschieds zwischen den zwei wichtigsten Ölsorten WTI und Brent schwieriger geworden und mit mehr Risiken verbunden. Vereinzelt versuchen Finanzanleger auf Veränderungen der Spreads zu reagieren, insbesondere um ihre Termin-Rollverluste zu minimieren. Berücksichtigt man die natürlichen Handelsbarrieren für die physische Beschaffung, Transport und Lagerung, so liegt kein Verstoß gegen eine Markteffizienz im Sinn der Entstehung eines Spreads zwischen WTI und Brent vor, da der physische Transport durchaus mit mehr praktischen Risiken und Zeitverzögerungen zu kämpfen hat, als dies auf den ersten Blick scheint.

description: Accelerating the adoption of technologies that decrease energy use during production is a critical avenue to achieving decarbonization goals. These “clean energy technologies” are defined as the installation of any hardware, software, or product that reduces energy consumption and/or increases energy efficiency in the manufacturing process compared to previous iterations. The research team evaluated CETA behind the meter in two areas: process efficiencies and fuel switching for energy intensive processes. Process efficiencies encompass energy efficiencies in the process of manufacturing a product. Fuel switching references the changing of the energy source for a company’s on-site energy generation for high- energy processes. The findings outlined in this report are a synthesis of 40 interviews with companies and industry stakeholders and desktop review of more than 56 resources.
title: Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation in Dynamic Generalized Linear Mixed Models
Creators: name: Knorr-Held, Leonhard

description: Dynamic generalized linear mixed models are proposed as a regression tool for nonnormal longitudinal data. This framework is an interesting combination of dynamic models, by other name state space models, and mixed models, also known as random effect models. The main feature is, that both time- and unit-specific parameters are allowed, which is especially attractive if a considerable number of units is observed over a longer period. Statistical inference is done by means of Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques in a full Bayesian setting. The algorithm is based on iterative updating using full conditionals. Due to the hierarchical structure of the model and the extensive use of Metropolis-Hastings steps for updating this algorithm mainly evaluates (log-)likelihoods in multivariate normal distributed proposals. It is derivative-free and covers a wide range of different models, including dynamic and mixed models, the latter with slight modifications. The methodology is illustrated through an analysis of artificial binary data and multicategorical business test data.

description: The present paper deals with the comparison of the performance of different estimation methods for regression models with correlated binary responses. Throughout, we consider probit models where an underlying latent continous random variable crosses a threshold. The error variables in the unobservable latent model are assumed to be normally distributed. The estimation procedures considered are (1) marginal maximum likelihood estimation using Gauss-Hermite quadrature, (2) generalized estimation equations (GEE) techniques with an extension to estimate tetrachoric correlations in a second step, and, (3) the MECOSA approach proposed by Schepers, Arminger and Küsters (1991) using hierarchical mean and covariance structure models. We present the results of a simulation study designed to evaluate the small sample properties of the different estimators and to make some comparisons with respect to technical aspects of the estimation procedures and to bias and mean squared error of the estimators. The results show that the calculation of the ML estimator requires the most computing time, followed by the MECOSA estimator. For small and moderate sample sizes the calculation of the MECOSA estimator is problematic because of problems of convergence as well as a tendency of underestimating the variances. In large samples with moderate or high correlations of the errors in the latent model, the MECOSA estimators are not as efficient as ML or GEE estimators. The higher the `true' value of an equicorrelation structure in the latent model and the larger the sample sizes are, the more is the efficiency gain of the ML estimator compared to the GEE and MECOSA estimators. Using the GEE approach, the ML estimates of tetrachoric correlations calculated in a second step are biased to a smaller extent than using the MECOSA approach.

description: This is a collection of short and short-short stories based on themes of relationships, memory, loss and perception. In one story, a young man ponders the meaning of his mother's constant humming and discovers the many meanings of her song. In another story, a young man watches the first sunset of the summer with two holocaust survivors, with a knowledge that he too, must remember. In the title story, a man realizes the influence of Geography, both physical and emotional, on what he feels has been an unfulfilled life. The stories turn as much on what is not said, and focus on the silences that separate individuals. The characters' perceptions of the world, especially their perceptions of nature, often take the place of spoken words.

description: A major issue in exploring and analyzing life history data with multiple states and events is the development and availability of flexible methods that allow simultaneous incorporation and estimation of baseline hazards, detection and modelling of nonlinear functional forms of covariates and time-varying effects, and the possibility to include time-dependent covariates. In this paper we consider a nonparametric multiplicative hazard model that takes into account these aspects. Embedded in the counting process  approach, estimation is based on penalized likelihoods and splines. The methods are illustrated by two real data applications, one to a more conventional survival data set with two absorbing states, and one to more complex sleep-electroencephalography data with multiple recurrent states of sleep.

description: Discrete-time grouped duration data, with one or multiple types of terminating events, are often observed in social sciences or economics. In this paper we suggest and discuss dynamic models for flexible Bayesian nonparametric analysis of such data. These models allow simultaneous incorporation and estimation of baseline hazards and time-varying covariate effects, without imposing particular parametric forms. Methods for exploring the possibility of time-varying effects, as for example the impact of nationality or unemployment insurance benefits on the probability of re-employment, have recently gained increasing interest. Our modelling and estimation approach is fully Bayesian and makes use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation techniques. A detailed analysis of unemployment duration data, with full-time job, part-time job and other causes as terminating events, illustrates our methods and shows how they can be used to obtain refined results and interpretations.
