description: A method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy and computation efficiency in interpolation, upsampling and color channel estimation. A Bayesian estimator used to estimate the value of a pixel in an image is constructed using measurements of high-order (e.g., 3rd, 4th, 5th) statics for nearby points in natural images. These measurements reveal highly systematic statistical regularities that were ignored from the prior algorithms due to their restrictive measurements and assumptions. As a result, the accuracy in interpolation, upsampling and color channel prediction is improved. Furthermore, the process for constructing a Bayesian estimator is simpler and more direct by storing in a table the mean value of the pixel value to be estimated for each combination of values of nearby points in training samples. As a result of having a simpler and more direct approach than existing methods, the computational efficiency is improved.
What Limits Intra-Household Insurance or the “Added Worker Effect”?

description: The “Added Worker Effect” (AWE) theory posits that partners of the unemployed provide intrahousehold insurance by increasing their earnings. However, estimates of the AWE are small. Popular explanations include lacking need (e.g., due to generous unemployment benefits), capacity, or willingness to increase earnings, though these explanations are seldomly tested systematically. Using Swiss administrative data and difference-in-differences estimates we find an overall AWE among only non-working women. We find no systematic differences in AWEs between couples with differing need or capacity, but aspects related to willingness like marriage, long marital duration, and shared biological children are associated with higher AWEs. Men’s overall slight reduction in earnings upon their partners’ unemployment are driven by young, childless, cohabiting men. Overall, compared to unemployment insurance, in all studied subgroups, the AWE is a minimal source of insurance.

title: A critique of distributional interpretations of the labour theory of value
Creators: name: Gschwandtner, Jakob
Year: 2024

description: In dieser Arbeit wird These verteidigt, dass sich die Arbeitswerttheorie von Marx nicht zur Erklärung von Verteilung eignet. Zwei verteilungstheoretische Interpretationen der Arbeitswerttheorie werden kritisiert. Die preistheoretische Interpretation besagt, dass die Preise von Waren durch ihre jeweiligen Arbeitswerte determiniert werden. Notwendige Arbeitszeit ist zwar ein wichtiger Faktor der Preisbestimmung, ein ausschließlicher Fokus auf Arbeit reicht allerdings nicht aus. Der zweiten Interpretation zufolge dient die Arbeitswerttheorie primär zur Darstellung kapitalistischer Ausbeutung. Während marxistische Theorie im Allgemeinen und die Arbeitswerttheorie im Besonderen durchaus dabei helfen, das Phänomen der Ausbeutung zu verstehen, kann sie die Verteilung von Waren zwischen den gesellschaftlichen Klassen nicht vollständig erklären. Alternative Interpretationsansätze rücken die nicht-distributiven Aspekte der Arbeitswerttheorie in den Vordergrund: Einerseits half die Arbeitswerttheorie Marx dabei, seine Profittheorie darzulegen und anderseits bringt sie Licht in die verwickelten Dynamiken kapitalistischer Gesellschaften.
description: In this thesis, I the defend the claim that Marx’labour theory of value (LTV) is not a useful tool to explain distribution. Two distributive interpretations of the LTV are criticised. Firstly, there is the price-theoretical interpretation according to which the prices of commodities are determined by their labour values. While labour time is an important factor of pricedetermination, an exclusive focus on labour is insufficient. Secondly, there is the interpretation according to which the LTV should be mainly regarded as an explication of capitalist exploitation. While Marxist theory in general and the LTV specifically do provide insights into the phenomenon of exploitation, the LTV cannot fully account for the distribution of commodities among the classes of society. However, there are promising alternative, nondistributional interpretations of the LTV. In particular, it allowed Marx to clearly present his theory of capitalist profit. Furthermore, the LTV sheds light on the intricate dynamics of capitalist societies.

description: Techniques are generally described for estimating a communication channel using wirelessly transmitted and retransmitted signals, each transmitted at a different power ratio. An example wireless communications system may include a base station, a relay station and a wireless device. The base station may include a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal, wherein the first signal includes pilot and data symbols with a first power ratio. The relay station may include a receiver configured to receive the first signal, and a transmitter configured to retransmit the first signal as a second signal, wherein the second signal includes pilot and data symbols with a second power ratio. The wireless device includes a receiver configured to receive the first and second signals, i.e. the transmitted and retransmitted pilot and data symbols having the first and second power ratios are received, and estimate a communications channel from the received signals.
Some practical aspects of pigment analysis using Raman spectroscopy
Creators: name: Scherrer, Nadim
Publisher: name: Renishaw
Year: 2019

description: An artwork often is a complex, multilayered and multicomponent system build-up. Chemical interaction between these components and layers, which age over time, influenced by environmental conditions, can lead to reactions that alter the visual impression, the integrity and the materials of an artwork. Conservation science is thus confronted with alterations at different interfaces and levels such as for example the pigment–environment (e.g. Cato et al. 2017), pigment-binder (Fig. 1, Ferreira et al. 2015) and the varnish-environment (e.g. Soulier et al. 2012) interface. To learn more about these phenomena, our current strategy is minimally invasive, combines the complementary techniques of infrared imaging (ATR-FTIR-FPA), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (VP-SEM, SE/BSE/EDS), applied sequentially to micro-samples. This combination not only covers a wide range of materials, but also delivers morphological and 2D stratigraphic information from minimal amounts of sample material. With respect to pigment identification on micro samples, Raman has many strong advantages in tracking down pigment traces, both inorganic and synthetic organic pigments. It probably even may be called ‘THE’ technique, when it comes to synthetic organic pigment detection and identification (e.g. Scherrer et al. 2009). Yet, in many cases, Raman cannot rely on simple routine measurements. This presentation gives some insight into non-standard behaviour at the laser-pigment interface and possible approaches to retrieve a useful spectrum. Literature References Cato E. et al. (2017).

description: Abstract Aims. The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic and the lockdown response are assumed to have increased mental health problems in general populations compared to pre-pandemic times. The aim of this paper is to review studies on the course of mental health problems during and after the first lockdown phase. Methods. We conducted a rapid review of multi-wave studies in general populations with time points during and after the first lockdown phase. Repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that utilised validated instruments were included. The main outcome was whether indicators of mental health problems have changed during and after the first lockdown phase. The study was registered with PROSPERO No. CRD42020218640. Results. Twenty-three studies with 56 indicators were included in the qualitative review. Studies that reported data from pre-pandemic assessments through lockdown indicated an increase in mental health problems. During lockdown, no uniform trend could be identified. After lockdown, mental health problems decreased slightly. Conclusions. As mental health care utilisation indicators and data on suicides do not suggest an increase in demand during the first lockdown phase, we regard the increase in mental health problems as general distress that is to be expected during a global health crisis. Several methodological, pandemic-related, response-related and health policy-related factors need to be considered when trying to gain a broader perspective on the impact of the first wave of the pandemic and the first phase of lockdown on general populations’ mental health.

description: Background: Mothers and fathers are severely challenged when providing care for their terminally ill child at end of life. Caregiving needs have been studied predominantly in mothers. Differences in caregiving needs between mothers and fathers during their child’s end of life have not, however, been explored so far. This knowledge is of importance to best meet individual parental needs in paediatric end-of-life care. Methods: Secondary analysis of a quantitative survey on parental needs during their child’s last 4 weeks of life, collected in the Swiss multicentre “Paediatric End-of-Life Care Needs” (PELICAN) study. Caregiving needs of mothers and fathers (parental dyad) who had lost a child due to a cardiological, neurological or oncological disease or during the neonatal period in the years 2011–2012 were retrospectively assessed using a questionnaire representing six evidence-based quality domains of paediatric palliative and end-of-life care. Results: Seventy-eight parental dyads were included in this analysis. Differences between mothers and fathers were mostly found around needs to be supported as a family. In all, 28 out of 34 needs-related questionnaire items were scored higher by mothers than by fathers, indicating higher importance for that need to be met. The results indicate that these differences might relate to different caregiving roles and gender-specific coping strategies. Conclusions: To best meet parental needs in paediatric end-of-life care, particular attention should be paid to both mothers and fathers and their specific caregiving roles, as differences in these roles might influence their needs in this exceptional situation. Therefore, healthcare professionals should identify how parental dyads mutually navigate care for their sick child to best meet their needs in support. Additionally, mothers and fathers should be supported in their individual coping strategies.

 Diagnosis. Species of small size (2.8–3.9 mm), easily recognisable by the characters in the key, very similar to M. crassicornis Jacquelin du Val, 1853 from southern France (Hérault, Gard, Ardèche), from which it is readily distinguishable by its shorter elytral setae and shape of the hemisternites.
 Description. Dorsal vestiture composed of ochreous scales, strongly imbricate, with metallic shimmer; setae on elytral interstriae not very dense, suberect, aligned, narrow on dorsum and on declivity, elongate, not or hardly widened at apex. Rostrum transverse, epistomal keel present, pterygia very prominent; prorostrum high; frontal sulcus evident. Frons not or hardly lower than prorostrum, wide, with a median fovea. Eyes normal, rather flattened in front, elongate, prominent beyond the genae, with a glabrous periocular sulcus. Antennae with scape very robust, rather incrassate from base to apex; funicle (Fig. 4b) short and extremely robust, not or hardly narrower than scape, desmomeres 2–7 strongly transverse, all with elongate, narrow setae, at least the first 6 also with setae visibly widened and truncate at apex; club short and robust, not or hardly wider than funicle, first segment widely cup-shaped. Pronotum weakly transverse, moderately sinuate at sides, disc with irregular punctures completely covered by scales. Elytra subovoid, elongate, weakly rounded at sides, hardly depressed at base, convex on dorsum, with humeral calli more (male) or less (female) obsolete, striae with close punctures and interstriae almost flat, very finely punctate. Tibiae short and robust, protibiae on outer margin curved inwards before apex (Fig. 2a). Aedeagus in lateral view weakly arcuate, in dorsal view shortly and weakly tricuspidate at apex (Fig. 13a). Hemisternites as in Fig. 13b; spermatheca as in Fig. 49c.

description: Culinary education programs are generally designed to improve participants’ food and cooking skills, with or without consideration to influencing diet quality or health. No published methods exist to guide food and cooking skills’ content priorities within culinary education programs that target improved diet quality and health. To address this gap, an international team of cooking and nutrition education experts developed the Cooking Education (Cook-EdTM) matrix. International food-based dietary guidelines were reviewed to determine common food groups. A six-section matrix was drafted including skill focus points for: (1) Kitchen safety, (2) Food safety, (3) General food skills, (4) Food group specific food skills, (5) General cooking skills, (6) Food group specific cooking skills. A modified e-Delphi method with three consultation rounds was used to reach consensus on the Cook-EdTM matrix structure, skill focus points included, and their order. The final Cook-EdTM matrix includes 117 skill focus points. The matrix guides program providers in selecting the most suitable skills to consider for their programs to improve dietary and health outcomes, while considering available resources, participant needs, and sustainable nutrition principles. Users can adapt the Cook-EdTM matrix to regional food-based dietary guidelines and food cultures.

description: Empowerment und „service user involvement“ Ansätze sind im gegenwärtigen Diskurs der deutsch-sprachigen und angelsächsischen Sozialen Arbeit prominent vertreten (z.B. Askheim, 2003; Herriger, 2014). Seit 2011 gibt es das Netzwerk PowerUs, dessen Ziel es ist, die Befähigung von sozial ausgegrenzten Gruppen zu fördern. Das Ziel des Netzwerkes ist „Mend the gap“ und sie verwirklichen dieses im Rahmen von sogenannten gap-mending Kursen, in denen Adressaten der Sozialen Arbeit und Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit sich auf Augenhöhe kennenlernen. Mit Augenhöhe verstehen wir das Einbringen von unterschiedlichen Expertenwissen sowohl der Adressaten der Sozialen Arbeit als auch der Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit, so dass auf der kommunikativen Ebene eine ebenbürtige Begegnung möglich ist. Damit ermöglichen gap-mending Kurse einen Freiraum ausserhalb der Rollen als Sozialarbeitende und Adressaten zu schaffen, in welchem aus den sozialen Anliegen und persönlichen Erfahrungen gemeinsam Projektkonzepte entwickelt werden. Dadurch unterscheiden sich gap-mending Kurse grundsätzlich von anderen bereits verbreiteten Kursformen. In diesen werden die Adressaten in die Lehre punktuell einbezogen, um aus ihrer Perspektive und von ihren Erfahrungen zu berichten. Bei dieser Kursform bleibt der „Austausch“ mit den Adressaten einseitig, weil die vom Adressaten erzählte Geschichte primär als Grundlage für die professionelle Sensibilisierung und damit für die Ausbildung der Studierenden dient. Anders basieren gap-mending Kurse sowohl auf dem Erfahrungswissen der Adressaten als auch der Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit. Kurz gefasst, beide sind gleichwertig und unentbehrlich. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden die Ansätze Empowerment und „user involvement“, welche dem Netzwerk PowerUs zugrunde liegen, vorgestellt. Anschliessend werden mehrere gap-mending Kurse und ihre Evaluation dargestellt und verglichen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den Kurs in Lund, Schweden gelegt wird. Dies aus zwei Gründen: In Lund fand die erste Durchführung des Kurses statt und dieser basiert auf einer fundierten Durchführungserfahrung (17 Durchführungen). Der vorliegende Bericht stützt sich einerseits auf vorhandene Publikationen zu den Ansätzen des Empowerments und „user involvement“. Andererseits hatten die Autorinnen des Berichts die Möglichkeit den gap-mending Kurs in Lund während einigen Tagen zu hospitieren, so dass diese Erfahrungen ebenfalls in den Bericht einfliessen.

Wie gestaltet sich genderreflektierende Offene Jugendarbeit? Erkenntnisse aus einem partizipativen Forschungsprojekt

description: Offene Jugendarbeit ist ein Raum, in dem Anerkennung an eine (über-)deutliche gender performance gebunden ist. Im Jahr 2019 ist das ein erschreckender Befund. Denn seit der zweiten Frauenbewegung ist die Arbeit mit Jugendlichen immer wieder als Raum ausgewiesen worden, an dem Mädchen und Jungen andere Bilder und Lebensmöglichkeiten von Geschlecht zur Verfügung gestellt, erprobt und lebbar gemacht werden sollen (siehe Müller, Plutschow und Sutter i. d. B.). Das ist ein hoher Anspruch, der – gerade im Feld der Offenen Jugendarbeit – nicht immer einfach umzusetzen ist. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, wie sich Situationen gestalten, in denen in Bezug auf Geschlecht reflektiert wird und/oder in denen es möglich ist, genderuntypische Erfahrungen zu machen. Der folgende Artikel zeigt dieses „Wie“ in ausgewählten Beispielen konkreter Praxis und bezieht sich dabei auf Ergebnisse unserer partizipativen Forschung zur Offenen Jugendarbeit in der Deutschschweiz. Als zentrale Erkenntnis ergab sich, dass genderreflektierende Offene Jugendarbeit nicht ausschließlich eine Frage spezieller pädagogischer Interventionen darstellt, sondern sich im Zusammenspiel von der Kultur des Raumes, der Beziehungsgestaltung und der pädagogischen Interventionen gestaltet.
Fostering innovation: Experimental evidence on the effectiveness of behavioral interventions

description: We experimentally investigate an intervention that ought to motivate innovative behavior by changing risk perceptions. Participants run a virtual lemonade stand and face a trade-off between exploiting a known strategy and exploring untested approaches. Innovation through testing new approaches comes along with a risk of failure because participants are compensated based on the profits generated by their virtual business. We test whether we can draw attention away from this risk by implementing a salience mechanism, which ought to focus participants on the input rather than the outcome of the innovative process. However, we find that this intervention is not effective in motivating innovative behavior—rather, it jeopardizes innovation. We discuss potential behavioral channels and encourage further research of risk salience as a tool to foster innovation. Our pre-registered study highlights the importance of evaluating interventions before implementation, as even carefully designed interventions may turn out to be ineffective or even backfire.

description: Nanotermitodius Howden, 2003
Nanotermitodius Howden, 2003: 393.
Type species: Nanotermitodius peckorum Howden, 2003: 396, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Nanotermitodius is unique among the rhyparines by having the male sexual dimorphism of a Rhyparus - type mesotibia and Termitodiellus - type metatibia (Skelley 2007). The females have simple, unmodified tibial apices. Other useful characters to diagnose Nanotermitodius include elytral carinae sinuate in dorsal and lateral views, caudal apex of discomedian costa on elytra with an erect tuft of setae, mesoventrite with shallow longitudinal median groove, metaventrite with distinct discolateral fovea on either side of midline, and male protibia distinctly tridentate at apex, female protibia weakly tridentate. The genus also has fused elytra with flight wings reduced to vestigial buds, reduced eyes, and is presently known only from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Comments. Howden (2003) provided a generic description, which also acted as the species description for N. peckorum. Thus, a brief diagnosis of the genus listing important delimiting characters was needed. Other traditional characters like body shape, costal development, etc. vary between these two Nanotermitodius enough to overlap with other genera, making these characters less useful for generic delimitation. Skelley (2007) noted that male N. peckorum have Rhyparus - type mesotibia but Termitodiellus - type metatibia. The new species shows this character combination more prominently than N. peckorum. This tibial combination in the males will readily distinguish Nanotermitodius.
