Shifting vertical power relations. Four empirical studies on the fiscal effects of the Swiss federal reform 2008 and the Belgian federalisation 1993
Creators: name: Arnold, Tobias
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2020
Subjects: 320 Political science

description: The dissertation deals with the research question of how the Swiss federal reform 2008 (NFA) has changed vertical fiscal power relations in Switzerland and what can be learned from these findings for institutional design in federations in general. The main part of this cumulative dissertation is composed of four empirical studies, each of them contributing to the overall research question. The first study in chapter 2 takes a macro-perspective and focuses on the impact of the NFA on subnational fiscal autonomy. In the second study in chapter 3, I extend the perspective by taking into account the role of municipalities. Using a cross-cantonal comparison and focusing on the policy area of special schools, I assess the impact of local authorities sitting in the cantonal parliament on the cost distribution formula between the cantons and the municipalities. In the third study in chapter 4, I examine whether the effects found for the particular policy area examined in chapter 3 can be identified throughout all policy areas in Switzerland. Finally, in a fourth empirical study in chapter 5, I include the 1993 Belgian federalisation as a second case to allow for a systematic comparison of the empirical findings. The findings can be summarised as follows: First, there is indeed an effect of the NFA on subnational fiscal power, albeit rather negative, given that the increase of subnational expenditure is not matched by a corresponding increase of revenue. Second, chapters 3 and 4 point to the phenomenon of “state capture from below”, i.e. the efforts of municipalities to shift expenditure to the cantonal level. As chapter 3 shows, the effect of the NFA in the policy area of special schools is contingent on the number of local authorities sitting in the cantonal parliament. Chapter 4 finds empirical evidence for the “state capture from below” beyond individual policy areas. Finally, the comparison with Belgium in chapter 5 leads to the conclusion that the de/centralization of the tax system is an important moderating variable: While a centralised tax system in Belgium allows top-down steering of expenditure through intergovernmental grants, the reform capacity in Switzerland is lower, at least if the principle of cantonal tax autonomy should not be weakened. All in all, the findings of the dissertation contribute to both the current public discussion on a possible NFA II and the academic discussion on institutional (re-)design in federal systems.

description: We address the controversy concerning the necessary conditions for the observation of Berry phases in disordered mesoscopic conductors. For this purpose we calculate the spin-dependent conductance of disordered two-dimensional structures in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Our numerical results show that for both, the overall conductance and quantum corrections, the relevant parameter defining adiabatic spin transport scales with the square root of the number of scattering events, in generalization of Stern's original proposal [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 1022 (1992)]. This could hinder a clear-cut experimental observation of Berry phase effects in diffusive metallic rings.

description: W/O emulsification in the J-7 reservoir has been regarded as the main reason for enhancing oil recovery. Therefore, in this article, the chemical structures of SARA fractions of JD-1 crude oil were obtained through characterization experiments, and the effect of the influence of SARA fractions on the W/O emulsification and the oil recovery by using emulsification experiments, interfacial experiments, emulsification experiments, and water flooding experiments. Results showed from emulsification experiments that the emulsification degree of the simulated oil containing asphaltenes was higher than other simulated oils. All emulsions of SARA fractions after emulsifying were W/O emulsions, but compared with other components, the performance of emulsions of asphaltenes was the best. The viscosity of emulsions reached 8.16–18.38 times that of simulated oil, the average size of was only 0.68 μm, and the stability was also very good. From interface tension and expansion modulus experiments, it can be seen that after adding asphaltenes, the decrease degree of interface tension and the increased degree of expansion modulus were the most. The result of molecules dynamic simulations showed that the adsorption force on the oil-water interface of asphaltenes was greater than other components. The water flooding experiments found the recovery of the simulated oil containing asphaltenes reached 43.81%, which was higher than other simulated oil, indicating that the easier W/O emulsification was formed, the recovery rate was higher.

description: Background: In the German Code of Social Law V in §5 (7), paragraph a, the text states: “Only patients may be treated with “dialysis in a center”, who need this type of dialysis due to their clinical picture.  However, the reality looks quite different. 
Objectives: This drawback was the motivation for a need finding study to find approaches to lower the access limitation to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy, the most common home dialysis modality.  The need finding study was conducted using mobile eye tracking with experienced and novice dialysis patients. 
Methods: The dialysis patients were visited at home and accompanied in all therapy handling steps to gain insights of the user experience of PD from a first-person view. The data analysis was not limited to the single central therapy steps but included also the preparation phase and the therapy handling steps as a whole. 
Results: In total, eight possibilities could be identified which promise to facilitate the access to home dialysis like a waste handling and managing system or a novel PD furniture. The most promising was a controller for PD which increases the safety against use errors and the comfort for the patient. 
Conclusions: For many patients, the use of an auto-connect device could increase safety and ease of use for patients. In addition, it could enhance standardization of the therapy process. Based on the eye tracking results, feasibility was proven with a functional prototype and a start-up was initiated for the further development and market readiness of such a device, with the public launch targeted in 2018.
Inter-Organizational Ecosystems in Software Development

description: Companies are increasingly exposed to disruptive technologies and unexpected competitors that pose potential threats to their business success. To avert such threats, pressed companies increasingly create and transform goods together with other organizational actors in so-called inter-organizational ecosystems (Adner, 2006, 2017; Jacobides, Cennamo, & Gawer, 2018; Lumineau & Oliveira, 2018). These inter-organizational ecosystems describe groups of interacting organizational actors that are mutually dependent on each other's activities (Jacobides et al., 2018). The growing prevalence of inter-organizational ecosystems builds on information systems (IS), which allow a distribution of innovation agency across multiple organizational actors by means of digital technology (Nambisan, Lyytinen, Majchrzak, & Song, 2017) for co-creating value (Sarker, Sarker, Sahaym, & Bjørn-Andersen, 2012). These advantages are of particular importance in software development and have contributed much to the popularity of platform ecosystems (i.e., Tiwana, Konsynski, & Bush, 2010) and innovation ecosystems (i.e., Adner & Kapoor, 2010). The three studies of this dissertation (see Table 1) focus on platform ecosystems (i.e., studies 1 and 2) and innovation ecosystems (i.e., study 3).

description: Multi-choice Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) requires model to decide the correct answer from a set of answer options when given a passage and a question. Thus in addition to a powerful Pre-trained Language Model (PrLM) as encoder, multi-choice MRC especially relies on a matching network design which is supposed to effectively capture the relationships among the triplet of passage, question and answers. While the newer and more powerful PrLMs have shown their mightiness even without the support from a matching network, we propose a new DUal Multi-head Co-Attention (DUMA) model, which is inspired by human's transposition thinking process solving the multi-choice MRC problem: respectively considering each other's focus from the standpoint of passage and question. The proposed DUMA has been shown effective and is capable of generally promoting PrLMs. Our proposed method is evaluated on two benchmark multi-choice MRC tasks, DREAM and RACE, showing that in terms of powerful PrLMs, DUMA can still boost the model to reach new state-of-the-art performance.
The Erdős-Szemerédi problem on sum set and product set
Creators: name: Chang, Mei-Chu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The basic theme of this paper is the fact that if $A$ is a finite set of integers, then the sum and product sets cannot both be small. A precise formulation of this fact is Conjecture 1 below due to Erd\H os-Szemerédi [E-S]. (see also [El], [T], and [K-T] for related aspects.) Only much weaker results or very special cases of this conjecture are presently known. One approach consists of assuming the sum set $A + A$ small and then deriving that the product set $AA$ is large (using Freiman's structure theorem). (cf [N-T], [Na3].) We follow the reverse route and prove that if $|AA| < c|A|$, then $|A+A| > c^\prime |A|^2$ (see Theorem 1). A quantitative version of this phenomenon combined with Plünnecke type of inequality (due to Ruzsa) permit us to settle completely a related conjecture in [E-S] on the growth in $k$. If $$ g(k) \equiv \text{min}\{|A[1]| + |A\{1\}|\} $$ over all sets $A\subset \Bbb Z$ of cardinality $|A| = k$ and where $A[1]$ (respectively, $A\{1\}$) refers to the simple sum (resp., product) of elements of $A$. (See (0.6), (0.7).) It was conjectured in [E-S] that $g(k)$ grows faster than any power of $k$ for $k\to\infty$. We will prove here that $\ell n g(k)\sim\frac{(\ell n k)^2}{\ell n \ell n k}$ (see Theorem 2) which is the main result of this paper.

description: Phytochemical investigation of Microstachys chamaelea led to the isolation and identification of fourteen known compounds after analysis of spectroscopic data. They consist of eight flavonoids (1–8), two benzoic acid derivatives (9–10), one brevifolin carboxylic acid derivative (11), one geraniinic acid derivative (12), shikimic acid (13), and β-daucosterol (14). Remarkably, it is the second isolation of compound 12 from a natural source. Several isolates were evaluated against ten cancer cell lines and on a set of targets involved in oxidative stress, as no such assays were undertaken in previous works. Compound 7 showed moderate to strong cytotoxicity against eight cell lines (IC50 values of 6.0–39.0 µM), while compounds 2, 8, and 11 showed weak to moderate cytotoxicity. Compounds 1–3, 5, and 11–12 showed moderate to strong DPPH and XXO inhibitory activities (IC50 values of 13.1–16.5 and 6.0–69.0 µM, respectively).

description: The realization of quantum error correction is an essential ingredient for reaching the full potential of fault-tolerant universal quantum computation. Using a range of different schemes, logical qubits can be redundantly encoded in a set of physical qubits. One such scalable approach is based on the surface code. Here we experimentally implement its smallest viable instance, capable of repeatedly detecting any single error using seven superconducting qubits, four data qubits and three ancilla qubits. Using high-fidelity ancilla-based stabilizer measurements we initialize the cardinal states of the encoded logical qubit with an average logical fidelity of 96.1%. We then repeatedly check for errors using the stabilizer readout and observe that the logical quantum state is preserved with a lifetime and coherence time longer than those of any of the constituent qubits when no errors are detected. Our demonstration of error detection with its resulting enhancement of the conditioned logical qubit coherence times in a 7-qubit surface code is an important step indicating a promising route towards the realization of quantum error correction in the surface code.

description: We report a new critical solution found at the threshold of axisymmetric gravitational collapse of a complex scalar field with angular momentum. To carry angular momentum the scalar field cannot be axisymmetric; however, its azimuthal dependence is defined so that the resulting stress energy tensor and spacetime metric are axisymmetric. The critical solution found is non-spherical, discretely self-similar with an echoing exponent of 0.42 (+- 4%), and exhibits a scaling exponent of 0.11 (+- 10%) in near critical collapse. Our simulations suggest that the solution is universal (within the imposed symmetry class), modulo a family-dependent constant phase in the complex plane.

Perception and Emotion in Virtual Reality: The Role of the Body and the Contribution of Presence
Creators: name: Weber, Stefan
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2020
Subjects: 150 Psychology

description: This thesis reports four studies in the context of virtual reality (VR), feelings of presence, emotion, and perception. Previous research established the existence of cross-dimensional perceptual interrelations such as the interconnection between experienced motion and subjective time. This is thought to result from a common perceptual system. However, the specifics of this system are a matter of ongoing research. An important binding factor between perceptual dimensions is the bodily self, which was described as a reference for perception. In Study I, manipulations of the size of a virtual self-representation were shown to affect the spatial judgment of objects. In Study II, the degree of self-motion in an immersive virtual environment (IVE) influenced the subjective perception of time, corroborating previous findings about the common perceptual system. Besides the virtual self-representation, there is another important variable in VR experiments: Presence is described as the feeling of being in a mediated environment. Presence was not associated with improved performance in the spatial and temporal judgments of Studies I and II. However, in Study III, presence in a gaming activity was linked to improved mood after an experimental stress-induction. This especially applied to VR gaming, where impressions about the subjective realism of the IVE might have been crucial for mood repair. As outlined in Study IV, it is important to distinguish between presence as an attentional allocation to the mediated world and as an individual judgment about its realism. Taken together, the results from all studies corroborate the idea of the self as a fundamental perceptual reference, confirm results about the psychological connection between space and time, emphasize the benefits of VR gaming in improving mood, and elucidate the role of perceived realism in assessing presence in IVEs.
Relative yield of charged and neutral heavy meson pairs in e^+ e^- annihilation near threshold

description: The subject of the charged-to-neutral yield ratio for B{\bar B} and D{\bar D}pairs near their respective thresholds in e^+e^- annihilation is revisited. As previously argued for the B mesons, this ratio should exhibit a substantial variation across the Upsilon(4S) resonance due to interference of the resonance scattering phase with the Coulomb interaction between the charged mesons. A simple alternative derivation of the expression describing this effect is presented here, and the analysis is extended to include the D meson production in the region of the psi(3770) resonance. The available data on Kaon production at the phi(1020) resonance are also discussed in connection with the expected variation of the charged-to-neutral yield ratio.

The trace field of hyperbolic gluings

Year: 2019
Subjects: 510 Mathematics

description: The first part of the thesis focuses on the study of the adjoint trace field of hyperbolic manifolds, an algebraic invariant introduced by Vinberg and generalizing the invariant trace field of dimension 3. We compute the adjoint trace field in the case of general hyperbolic gluings, and show how it can be used to prove that certain gluings are nonarithmetic. In the second part we introduce and motivate the concept of pseudo-arithmeticity, a notion that encompasses all known examples of hyperbolic manifolds. We then prove that gluings of arithmetic pieces are always pseudo-arithmetic, using results from the first part.

description: The problem of scattering of neutral fermions in two-dimensional space-time is approached with a pseudoscalar potential step in the Dirac equation. Some unexpected aspects of the solutions beyond the absence of Klein\'{}s paradox are presented. An apparent paradox concerning the uncertainty principle is solved by introducing the concept of effective Compton wavelength. Added plausibility for the existence of bound-state solutions in a pseudoscalar double-step potential found in a recent Letter is given.

description: Diese Studie befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang von Charismatisierung und Netzwerkprozessen um Mātā Amṛtānandamayī Devī, meist Amma (auf Malayālam „Mutter”) genannt. Der Begriff Charisma, welcher als bündelndes Konzept in die Netzwerkanalyse integriert wird, bleibt im relationalen Sinne konsequent in der Beziehung verankert: In der Zuschreibung von ausserordentlichen Qualitäten wird das Subjekt oder Objekt der Zuschreibung charismatisiert. Amma und ihre Devotees werden als soziales Netzwerk konzeptualisiert, wobei der Fokus auf die Situation in der Schweiz und Schweizer Devotees in Amritapuri (indisches Zentrum) gerichtet wird. Zahlreiche online Primärquellen und Bücher von Senior Devotees (inkl. Hagiografie), Feldforschungstagebücher (teilnehmende Beobachtung) und über 20 Leitfadeninterviews mit Schweizer Devotees in Amritapuri und der Schweiz bilden die Datengrundlage und werden hinsichtlich ihrer netzwerkanalytischen Bausteine durchkämmt: Amma und die Devotees als Knoten, die Beziehung zwischen Amma und Devotees oder Devotees untereinander als Kanten und schliesslich Triaden unter Einbezug Ammas als Vermittlerin und im Hinblick auf die Position bestehender Devotees als Gatekeeper. Ammas Darshan in Form der Umarmung - für viele Devotees bewegende und inspirierende Begegnungen - ist zu ihrem Markenzeichen geworden. Die Studie zeichnet nach wie sich Ammas Netzwerk durch die Vermittlung von Devotees an potentiell interessierte Menschen global und in der Schweiz ausgebreitet hat. Die Transformation der gebürtigen Sudhamani Idhamannel aus Kerala zum globalen Guru mit dem Titel Mātā Amṛtānandamayī Devī („Göttliche Mutter der unsterblichen Glückseligkeit”) wird durch die Analyse der Charismatisierungen in den offiziellen Veröffentlichungen von Ammas spiritueller Organisation dargestellt. In unterschiedlichen Rollen (als göttliche Mutter, Guru, Wohltäterin, innere Amma) agiert Amma mit ihren Gegenübern (als Kinder, SchülerInnen, Begünstigte, Devotees). Diese Beziehungen werden in der Studie mithilfe des Datenmaterials herausgearbeitet. Die Nähe zur „Mutter” ist sowohl Ziel innerer Ausrichtung als auch physischer Kontaktchancen. An Amma- Events mit tausenden TeilnehmerInnen, und bei kleineren, spontanen Begegnungen mit und um Amma, wird Ammas postulierte Aussergewöhnlichkeit durch OrganisatorInnen strukturiert und durch die Anwesenden abgebildet und auf diese Weise erfahrbar. Die fortwährende Charismatisierung von Amma als normative Praxis unter Devotees, ist Eckpfeiler des daraus generierten Charisma-Netzwerks um Amma.

description: Recovering a high-quality image from noisy indirect measurements is an important problem with many applications. For such inverse problems, supervised deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based denoising methods have shown strong results, but the success of these supervised methods critically depends on the availability of a high-quality training dataset of similar measurements. For image denoising, methods are available that enable training without a separate training dataset by assuming that the noise in two different pixels is uncorrelated. However, this assumption does not hold for inverse problems, resulting in artifacts in the denoised images produced by existing methods. Here, we propose Noise2Inverse, a deep CNN-based denoising method for linear image reconstruction algorithms that does not require any additional clean or noisy data. Training a CNN-based denoiser is enabled by exploiting the noise model to compute multiple statistically independent reconstructions. We develop a theoretical framework which shows that such training indeed obtains a denoising CNN, assuming the measured noise is element-wise independent and zero-mean. On simulated CT datasets, Noise2Inverse demonstrates an improvement in peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index compared to state-of-the-art image denoising methods and conventional reconstruction methods, such as Total-Variation Minimization. We also demonstrate that the method is able to significantly reduce noise in challenging real-world experimental datasets.

description: Bulu Puroik is one among several non-mutually intelligible Puroik languages spoken in Arunachal Pradesh and belongs to the Kho-Bwa branch of the Trans-Himalayan language family. By the time of the research for this grammar, the language was already disappearing and was only spoken by a small number of speakers in the village of Bulu. The goal of this grammar is to provide a first grammatical description of the most important traits of the Bulu Puroik language. The introductory chapter 1 gives background information about the speakers and the village of Bulu. In the following chapter 2, the phonology of the segments, syllables and words is discussed. Word classes are established according to semantic, morphological and syntactic criteria in chapter 3. The remaining chapters describe the most important aspects of Bulu Puroik morphosyntax, namely noun phrases (chapter 4), the structure of verbal predicates (chapter 5), predicate derivations which add adverbial or aspectual meaning to the predicate (chapter 6), nonverbal predicates and copula constructions (chapter 7), the structure of the clause and the particular way of marking objects (chapter 8), multi-clause constructions (chapter 9) and discourse particles and pragmatic constructions (chapter 10). The last chapter is an outline of the vocabulary and syntax of other registers of the language, the hunting language, the ritual language and the story language. The appendix contains a collection of 12 annotated texts and a Puroik-English dictionary. The primary data for this grammar, including the annotated audio and video recordings and the lexicon with audio and image files, are archived and freely accessible on https://zenodo.org/.

description: The transport properties of micrometer scale structures fabricated from high-mobility HgTe quantum-wells have been investigated. A special photoresist and Ti masks were used, which allow for the fabrication of devices with characteristic dimensions down to 0.45 $μ$m. Evidence that the transport properties are dominated by ballistic effects in these structures is presented. Monte Carlo simulations of semi-classical electron trajectories show good agreement with the experiment.

The Development and Relation of Working Memory and Fluid Intelligence in Middle and Late Childhood: A Neurocognitive Developmental Perspective

description: Working memory (WM) und fluid intelligence (Gf) are both key abilities in many cognitive development areas. Previous studies showed that both constructs are substantially related. However, WM consists of different aspects and it is not clear which of these aspects underlies this relation. Moreover, previous studies investigating the development of the neural basis of verbal WM have neglected the fact that WM and Gf are related. Accordingly, the main goal of the two studies presented in this dissertation was to gain a deeper understanding of the relation between WM and Gf. In addition, we aimed to investigate how age and Gf combine to affect WM performance and WM-related brain activity in middle and late childhood. The main question addressed in this umbrella paper was driven by the question of how Gf and WM develop, which was incorporated in both studies. The results revealed that WM and Gf improve with increasing age. Moreover, results showed that different WM aspects promote the development of WM as well as of Gf. However, also individual differences in Gf seem to foster the development in WM. Hence, the relation between WM and Gf seems to go in both directions. In addition, neural results revealed an age-by-Gf interaction effect on WM-related brain activation, indicating that also functional brain differences contribute to the development of WM and Gf. The results are discussed in terms of neural efficiency and in terms of theoretical and practical implications.

description: The correlation between the soft X-ray and near infrared emission from AGN is analysed using composite models by the code SUMA. We find new evidences for differences in ranges of parameters which characterize the NLR of Seyfert galaxies and LINERs. Results obtained by modelling the Einstein and the ROSAT samples of galaxies are in full agreement. In order to fit the infrared and X-ray continua, an eta factor is defined, which accounts for the emitting area of the cloud. If the infrared emission is due to bremsstrahlung and comes from the same cloud producing the soft X-rays, the eta values obtained from both emissions must be the same. Therefore, if eta_IR < eta_soft-X there must be a strong contribution of soft X-rays from the active centre. From the eta values we expect to identify the objects that could present strong variability. \

description: Device-independent certification of quantum devices is of crucial importance for the development of secure quantum information protocols. So far, the most studied scenario corresponds to a system consisting of different non-characterized devices that observers probe with classical inputs to obtain classical outputs. The certification of relevant quantum properties follows from the observation of correlations between these events that do not have a classical counterpart. In the fully device-independent scenario no assumptions are made on the devices and therefore their non-classicality follows from Bell non-locality. There exist other scenarios, known as semidevice-independent, in which assumptions are made on the devices, such as their dimension, and non-classicality is associated to the observation of other types of correlations with no classical analogue. More recently, the use of trusted quantum inputs for certification has been introduced. The goal of this work is to study the power of this formalism and describe self-testing protocols in various settings using trusted quantum inputs. We also relate these different types of self-testing to some of the most basic quantum information protocols, such as quantum teleportation. Finally, we apply our findings to quantum networks and provide methods for estimating the quality of the whole network, as well as of parts of it.
