description: Die vorliegende Publikation versteht sich als Ideengeber für die universitäre Lehre in der Lehrerbildung in Gestalt eines sogenannten Transferpakets. Sie berichtet über Ergebnisse des Teilprojekts ‚Spotlights-Lehre‘ des Projekts ‚Schnittstellen gestalten – Lehrerbildung entlang des Leitbildes des "Reflective Practitioner" an der Universität Bremen' im BMBF-Programm ‚Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung‘. Inhaltlich geht es um innovative Lehrprojekte zur Verzahnung und Vernetzung von Fachwissenschaft und Fachdidaktik, die das Ziel verfolgen, Fragmentierungserfahrungen von Lehramtsstudierenden in den Fächern Mathematik, Englisch, Romanistik, Geschichte und Inklusive Didaktik zu reduzieren. Zentrales Anliegen dieses Transferpakets ist es, Transferstrategien bereitzustellen, an Beispielen zu illustrieren und in Lehrbeschreibungen einzubetten. Umfassend wird gezeigt, wie die Designprozesse zur Lehre in den beiden zentralen Modellprojekten der Fächer Englisch und Mathematik gestaltet sowie die Transfer- und Vernetzungsstrategien gewonnen wurden.

description: We present new photometry and spectroscopy of the 94m eclipsing binary LSQ1725-64 that provide insight into the fundamental parameters and evolutionary state of this system. We confirm that LSQ1725-64 is a magnetic cataclysmic variable whose white dwarf has a surface-averaged magnetic field strength of $12.5 \pm 0.5$ MG measured from Zeeman splitting. The spectral type and colour of the secondary, as well as the eclipse length, are consistent with other secondaries that have not yet evolved through the period minimum expected for cataclysmic variables. We observe two different states of mass transfer and measure the transition between the two to occur over about 45 orbital cycles. In the low state, we observe photometric variations that we hypothesize to arise predominantly from two previously heated magnetic poles of the white dwarf. Our precise eclipse measurements allow us to determine binary parameters of LSQ1725-64 and we find it contains a high mass ($0.97 \pm 0.03\ M_{\odot}$) white dwarf if we assume a typical mass-radius relationship for a CO core white dwarf. We also measure an eclipse of the accretion stream after the white dwarf eclipse, and use it to estimate an upper limit of the mass transfer rate. This derived limit is consistent with that expected from angular momentum loss via gravitational radiation alone.

Insbesondere im Kon-text von Inklusion und Ganztag wird dies bereits vielfach realisiert und unter dem Stichwort multiprofessionelle Kooperation diskutiert. In diesem Arbeitspapier wird diese Diskussion durch eine inklusive Perspektive ergänzt, welche auch die Bedarfe transnational mobiler Schüler*innen berücksichtigt. Es werden Möglichkeiten einer Ausdifferenzierung schuli-scher Berufe im Kontext von Migration und Mehrsprachigkeit exploriert. Dabei wird auch auf aktuelle Beispiele zur Erweiterung schulischer Kollegien auf Länder- und Schulebene sowie im internationalen Kontext eingegangen. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass es insbesondere den Assistenzkräften an Schulen an Professionalisierung und langfristigen Perspektiven man-gelt. Aus dem internationalen Kontext können Anregungen für Spezialisierungen im Bereich Migration und Mehrsprachigkeit gewonnen werden.

description: Many complex multi-target prediction problems that concern large target spaces are characterised by a need for efficient prediction strategies that avoid the computation of predictions for all targets explicitly. Examples of such problems emerge in several subfields of machine learning, such as collaborative filtering, multi-label classification, dyadic prediction and biological network inference. In this article we analyse efficient and exact algorithms for computing the top-$K$ predictions in the above problem settings, using a general class of models that we refer to as separable linear relational models. We show how to use those inference algorithms, which are modifications of well-known information retrieval methods, in a variety of machine learning settings. Furthermore, we study the possibility of scoring items incompletely, while still retaining an exact top-K retrieval. Experimental results in several application domains reveal that the so-called threshold algorithm is very scalable, performing often many orders of magnitude more efficiently than the naive approach.

This report reviews the CE-RISE project's adherence to ethical requirements set by Horizon Europe. It confirms that while CE-RISE does not involve major ethical concerns like biological research or animal testing, it must still address ethical issues related to personal data, non-EU countries, environmental impact, artificial intelligence, and the potential misuse of results. The report evaluates how these concerns are being managed and updates the project's ethical guidelines to ensure compliance and alignment with broader societal values and goals.
Self Adaptive Communication based on Soil Moisture for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks

description: In wireless underground sensor networks, channel estimation for communication success requires absolute information about deployment and properties of soil. These properties include soil composition (sand, silt, clay), soil density, soil temperature, inter-node distance, node depth, operating frequency and soil moisture. However, only soil moisture shows most temporal and spatial variation and affects the underground communication in long term. Therefore, we propose only soil moisture based self adaptive communication approach that overcomes the requirement of precise knowledge about the parameters of soil and underground deployment. This approach strives to find the maximum soil moisture threshold for successful communication for any given deployment. And, the sensor nodes conserve energy by avoiding the communication in times of increased soil moisture. Our proposed method is proved to be 5 times more energy efficient than terrestrial medium access control methods i.e.\ B-MAC for underground monitoring applications under extreme weather conditions.% One such application requires to analyse the efficiency of reforestation techniques to combat desertification of large fields in Cameroon. However persistent rains in the region present communication and reduced battery life challenges for underground networks. Self adaptive approach allows the sensor nodes to conserve more energy by forbidding the communication in times of increased soil moisture without requiring any soil information.

description: Solutions to the Einstein equations for Bianchi IX cosmologies are examined through the use of Ellis MacCallum Wainwright (expansion-normalized) variables. Using an iterative map derived from the Einstein equations one can construct an infinite number of periodic solutions. The simplest periodic solutions consist of 3-cycles. It is shown that for 3-cycles the time series of the logarithms of the expansion-normalized spatial curvature components vs normalized time (which is runs backwards towards the initial singularity), generates a set of self-similar golden rectangles. In addition the golden ratio appears in other aspects of the same time series representation.

description: Photoevaporation is probably the main agent for gas dispersal during the last stages of protoplanetary disk evolution. However, the overall mass loss rate in the photoevaporative wind and its driving mechanism are still not well understood. Here we report multi-configuration Very Large Array observations at 0.7, 3, and 5 cm towards the transitional disk of GM Aur. Our radio continuum observations allow us to image and spatially resolve, for the first time, the three main components at work in this stage of the disk evolution: the disk of dust, the ionized radio jet perpendicular to it, and the photoevaporative wind arising from the disk. The mass loss rate inferred from the flux density of the radio jet is consistent with the ratio between ejection and accretion rates found in younger objects, suggesting that transitional disks can power collimated ejections of material apparently following the same physical mechanisms as much younger protostars. Our results indicate that extreme-UV (EUV) radiation is the main ionizing mechanism of the photoevaporative wind traced by the free-free emission. The required low EUV photon luminosity of $\sim6\times10^{40}$ s$^{-1}$ would produce a photoevaporation rate of only $\dot{M}_{\rm w,EUV}\simeq1.3\times10^{-10}~M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. Therefore, other mechanisms are required to disperse the disk in the timescale imposed by observations.

description: We study the extent of fraud in initial coin offerings (ICOs), and whether information disclosure prior to the issuance predicts fraud. We document different types of fraud, and that fraudulent ICOs are on average much larger than the sample average. Issuers that disclose their code on GitHub are more likely to be targeted by phishing and hacker activities, which suggests that there are risks related to disclosing the code. Generally, we find it extremely difficult to predict fraud with the information available at the time of issuance. This calls for the need to install a third-party that certifies the quality of the issuers, such as specialized platforms, or the engagement of institutional investors and venture capital funds that can perform a due diligence and thus verify the quality of the project.

description: We report on the fabrication, transport measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of atomic size contacts made out of gadolinium (Gd). Gd is known to have local moments mainly associated with $f$ electrons. These coexist with itinerant $s$ and $d$ bands that account for its metallic character. Here we explore whether and how the local moments influence electronic transport properties at the atomic scale. Using both Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and lithographic Mechanically Controllable Break Junction (MCBJ) techniques under cryogenic conditions, we study the conductance of Gd when only few atoms form the junction between bulk electrodes made out of the very same material. Thousands of measurements shows that Gd has an average lowest conductance, attributed to an atom-size contact, below $\frac{2e^2}{h}$. Our DFT calculations for monostrand chains anticipate that the $f$ bands are fully spin polarized and insulating, and that the conduction may be dominated by $s$, $p$, and $d$ bands. DFT quantum transport calculations quantitatively reproduce the experimental results for zero bias and reveal that, while $s-p$ bands are dominant for transport, $d$ orbitals seem to have a relevant contribution in some cases.

description: In this paper, we empirically study how flagship entry in an online marketplace affects consumers, the platform, and various sellers on the platform. We find flagship entry may benefit consumers by expanding the choice set, by intensifying price competition within the entry brand, and by improving consumer perception for parts of the platform. In the meantime, flagship entry cannibalizes the sales of same-brand sellers, while other brands may gain as the buyer base expands on the platform. Counterfactual simulation suggests that flagship entry improves the gross merchandise value of the platform and overall consumer welfare in most cases.
description: Dans la présente étude, nous examinons empiriquement l’effet de l’arrivée d’un magasin phare dans une place de marché en ligne sur les consommateurs, la plateforme de vente et les différents vendeurs qui s’y trouvent. Nous constatons que cette pratique peut être avantageuse pour les consommateurs parce qu’elle leur donne plus de choix, intensifie la concurrence en matière de prix au sein de la marque et améliore la perception des consommateurs quant à certaines parties de la plateforme. En même temps, l’arrivée en ligne d’un magasin phare cannibalise les ventes des autres marchands qui offrent la même marque, tandis que les produits concurrents peuvent gagner en popularité grâce à la hausse de l’achalandage sur la plateforme. La simulation contrefactuelle laisse penser que cette pratique améliore la valeur brute des marchandises vendues sur la plateforme et le bien être général des consommateurs dans la plupart des cas.

description: ‘… and a guru is the last thing he wanted to be.’ That is what Dorothy Emmet, who wrote her PhD with Alfred North Whitehead back in the 1920s, told me about her supervisor. Neither as a supervisor nor as a lecturer was he ever dogmatic about the process philosophy of his Process and Reality. And it is this dogmatic process reading of Whitehead which Emmet is and always has been opposed to because it would turn Whitehead into something he never wanted to be, namely a guru. According to Emmet—whom I take to be right here—Whitehead can only be understood properly if viewed through his earlier works on mathematics and the philosophy of science.

description: Modular covariance of torus one-point functions constrains the three point function coefficients of a two dimensional CFT. This leads to an asymptotic formula for the average value of light-heavy-heavy three point coefficients, generalizing Cardy's formula for the high energy density of states. The derivation uses certain asymptotic properties of one-point conformal blocks on the torus. Our asymptotic formula matches a dual AdS_3 computation of one point functions in a black hole background. This is evidence that the BTZ black hole geometry emerges upon course-graining over a suitable family of heavy microstates.

Fifty Shades of Ratings: How to Benefit from a Negative Feedback in Top-N Recommendations Tasks

description: Conventional collaborative filtering techniques treat a top-n recommendations problem as a task of generating a list of the most relevant items. This formulation, however, disregards an opposite - avoiding recommendations with completely irrelevant items. Due to that bias, standard algorithms, as well as commonly used evaluation metrics, become insensitive to negative feedback. In order to resolve this problem we propose to treat user feedback as a categorical variable and model it with users and items in a ternary way. We employ a third-order tensor factorization technique and implement a higher order folding-in method to support online recommendations. The method is equally sensitive to entire spectrum of user ratings and is able to accurately predict relevant items even from a negative only feedback. Our method may partially eliminate the need for complicated rating elicitation process as it provides means for personalized recommendations from the very beginning of an interaction with a recommender system. We also propose a modification of standard metrics which helps to reveal unwanted biases and account for sensitivity to a negative feedback. Our model achieves state-of-the-art quality in standard recommendation tasks while significantly outperforming other methods in the cold-start "no-positive-feedback" scenarios.

Schwerhörigkeit und Maskulinität: Narrative Verhandlungen von Männlichkeit, sexuellem Begehren und sexueller Attraktivität in Alexander Görsdorfs Taube Nuss: Nichtgehörtes aus dem Leben eines Schwerhörigen

description: Sexualität und Behinderung bilden ein spannungsgeladenes Feld: Behinderung wird häufig mit Asexualität gleichgesetzt, Menschen mit Behinderung als entsexualisiert wahrgenommen. Auch wenn sich Schwerhörigkeit nicht ohne Weiteres als Behinderung lesen lässt (und dieser Klassifizierung auch insbesondere aus der Gehörlosenkultur vehement entgegengetreten wird, vgl. z.B. Uhlig), sind manche Besonderheiten und Prozesse der Konstruktion von Sexualität durchaus vergleich- und übertragbar. In diesem Beitrag wird daher anhand der Textanalyse der 2013 erschienenen Autobiografie "Taube Nuss: Nichtgehörtes aus dem Leben eine Schwerhörigen" eine Dekonstruktion von Männlichkeit mit Behinderung vorgenommen. Dabei wird argumentiert, dass Autor Alexander Görsdorf den angenommenen Mangel an sexueller Attraktivität (männlicher) Schwerhöriger voraussetzt und sich selbst im implizierten Gegensatz zu dieser Assoziation als dezidiert sexuelles Wesen konstruiert. Dies geschieht sowohl durch die wiederholte Rekurrenz auf sexuelle Metaphorik, die kokettierende Andeutung eines promisken Lebensstils und wechselnder, mehr oder minder anonymer Partnerschaften, als auch durch die wiederkehrende, narrativ nicht immer begründete Andeutung und Ausführung sexueller Themen und Szenen. Trotz aller narrativer Rekurrenz auf Männlichkeitstropen bewegt sich der Erzähler dabei als Grenzgänger zwischen dem Modell hegemonialer Männlichkeit und alternativen, weicheren Konstruktionen von Maskulinität. Im Folgenden wird zuerst ein kurzer Überblick zur Forschung über Behinderung und männliche Sexualität gegeben und dann ein close reading des Primärtextes vorgenommen, bevor in einer zusammenfassenden Diskussion geprüft wird, inwieweit die Konstruktion von männlicher Schwerhörigkeit in Taube Nuss eine Reformulierung von Idealen hegemonialer Männlichkeit darstellt.

description: The bound state solutions of the $D$-dimensional Schrödinger equation for new mixed class of potential, $V(r)=\frac{V_1}{r^2}+\frac{V_2e^{-αr}}{r}+V_3cothαr+V_4\,,$ are studied within the framework of the Pekeris approximation for any arbitrary $\ell$-state. Asymptotic iteration method (AIM) is used for the work. The energy spectrum are obtained as well as their corresponding normalized eigenfunctions are derived in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions $\,_{2}F_{1}(a,b,c;z)$. It is shown that using the Pekeris approximation, present potential model is very much capable of deriving other well known potentials quite easily and corresponding solutions are in excellent agreement with the previous work carried out in literature.

description: A new normalized sunspot-area series has been reconstructed from the series obtained by the Royal Greenwich Observatory and other contemporary institutions for the period 1874 - 2008 and the area series compiled by De la Rue, Stewart, and Loewy from 1832 to 1868. Since the two sets of series do not overlap in time, we used as a link between them the new version of sunspot index number (Version 2) published by SILSO (Sunspot Index and Long-term Solar Observations). We also present a spectral analysis of the normalized area series in search of periodicities beyond the well-known solar cycle of 11 years and a study of the Waldmeier effect in the new version of sunspot-number and the sunspot-area series presented in this study. We conclude that while this effect is significant in the new series of sunspot number, it has a weak relationship with the sunspot-area series.

description: The present research project studies the application of software algorithms for detecting object proposals in digital images based on their graphical characteristics. The fast generation of accurate object proposals is widely seen as a promising solution to the efficiency problems of heavy classification and object recognition algorithms, which require long time and huge computational power when applied on entire images. Instead, object detection proposals (ODPs) with smaller sizes and focused content are an optimum alternative for such classification algorithms. This report provides a systematic review and benchmarking of the state-of-the-art ODP algorithms. It further introduces a novel algorithm “Smart-Superpixels”, specifically developed for the purpose of airborne fungal spores’ detection in microscopic images. The benchmarking considers several qualitative and quantitative criteria regarding the algorithms speed, spatial efficiency, recall accuracy, localization precision and redundancy. The benchmarking results show that the introduced algorithm: Smart-Superpixels has the highest overall performance with its fast operation, relatively high spatial efficiency, high recall accuracy and localization precision, as well as low redundancy.
More Than Just Numbers: Assessing the Real Impact of Minimum Wage Increases on Childcare Labor Markets
Creators: name: Franco, Rodrigo
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2023
Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: This paper investigates the causal effects of minimum wage changes on the childcare labor market, a sector often characterized by low wages. Leveraging a difference-in-differences approach, I estimated treatment effects using two-way fixed effects and Callaway and Sant’Anna estimators. This research analyzes the causal impact of minimum wage law changes on earnings, employment, and turnover within childcare centers. The results underline a statistically significant 3% increase in the logarithm of earnings, indicating a strong causal relationship between minimum wage increase and earnings. However, the impacts on employment and turnover, while negative, are not statistically significant. These findings provide an insightful understanding of the labor dynamics in the childcare industry and suggest a potential model of perfect competition with search frictions and mobility costs. The pre-trend assumption in each case is validated by a dynamic model, strengthening the causal inference from the results. By dissecting the intricate causal relationship between wages and childcare quality, this research contributes to the broader discourse on minimum wage policies. It invites a reevaluation of wage structures in sectors like childcare, where the quality of service is directly linked to labor conditions.

description: In recent years, deep learning models have become an integral part of the daily lives of millions, extending their influence into specific domains such as medicine. The integration of vision and language capabilities has notably facilitated smoother interactions between users and models. Questions and answers have long served not only as a means of interaction with machines but also as a test for evaluating their level of intelligence. In particular, inquiries related to visual content, encapsulated by Visual Question Answering (VQA), provide a mechanism to probe a model’s visual understanding. In the medical domain, this aspect holds considerable significance, given the crucial role that trust plays in the adoption of these systems by medical professionals. However, the often opaque nature of most models hinders the assessment of true visual understanding, concealing potential shortcuts and biases. Crucial aspects of reasoning, such as compositionality and consistency, are at times overlooked in favor of high overall performance. In line with this perspective, this work introduces several contributions in the domains of localized questions and consistency for VQA. The first part of the thesis explores questions about specific image regions. Two distinct methodologies are proposed. The first method employs a localized attention mechanism, integrating information about the target region through a binary mask. Localized attention allows the network to consider contextual cues necessary for answering the question, focusing subsequently on the region specified by the user. The second method extends the concept of localized questions to Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) by introducing targeted visual prompting. Here, a customized visual prompt is formulated, encompassing the isolated region and its contextual representation within the image. The second part of the thesis focuses on avoiding contradictions by enhancing consistency. The first method involves categorizing queries as perception vs. reasoning questions and utilizing a loss function term to penalize inconsistencies during training. The second method proposes a broader interpretation of consistency in VQA based on logical relations and introduces an auxiliary method for predicting these relations. Similar to the first method, this approach employs a loss term to enforce more consistent behavior during the training phase.

subject: 370

description: This edited volume presents international perspectives on the nexus of transnationality, schools and teacher education. It aims to critically discuss whether the national orientation of schools and teacher education is appropriate in light of increasing migration and transnationality. The contributions offer ideas from international teacher education research and school pedagogical practice in different nation-state contexts such as Austria, Canada, Chile, Greece, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, and the USA. They all have in common that they are concerned with the question of which empirical and theoretical approaches are suitable for describing the phenomena of pedagogical-professional dealings with migration-related and transnational demands on schools found in the field of schools and teacher education. In raising this question, they do not reduce the analytical focus on migrants, whatever is meant by this expression, and their migration paths, actions or attitudes. Instead, the authors analyse the global interconnectedness and entanglements – each embedded in their specific national and global societal power structures and hierarchical relationships – and the country-specific and transnational structures and contextual conditions of schools and teacher education. These structures and conditions affect all school actors.
Two Theories of Group Agency
Creators: name: Strohmaier, David
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2020

description: Two theories dominate the current debate on group agency: functionalism, as endorsed by Bryce Huebner and Brian Epstein, and interpretivism, as defended by Deborah Tollefsen, and Christian List and Philip Pettit. In this paper, I will give a new argument to favour functionalism over interpretivism. I discuss a class of cases which the former, but not the latter, can accommodate. Two features characterise this class: First, distinct groups coincide, that is numerically distinct groups share all their members at all time. Second, we have access to the inner mechanisms of the groups agents, because members know what they have decided on. I construct a counterexample with these features allowing me to reject interpretivism about group agency in favour of functionalism.
