title: The Meaning of Boundaries. The Making of Romano-Hungarian Frontier after the First World War

description: Il senso dei confini. La frontiera romeno-ungherese dopo la prima guerra mondiale Il contesto del primo dopoguerra portò a una generale ridefinizione geopolitica dell'area dell'Europa centro-orientale, dove i territori degli Imperi plurinazionali furono divisi fra numerosi Stati nazionali. In molte regioni dovettero essere tracciati nuovi confini che non rispondevano pienamente a criteri etnici, storici, economici o geografici. Il lavoro delle commissioni di delimitazione che furono chiamate sul campo a definire tali frontiere, come nel caso romeno-ungherese, risulta pertanto di grande importanza per comprendere l'impatto che i nuovi confini ebbero sulla realtà locale di molte regioni europee e sulle conseguenze per lo sviluppo futuro, tanto nei rapporti tra Stati quanto nelle relazioni sociali ed economiche fra gruppi etnici e comunità locali. Le significat des limites. La frontière entre la Roumanie et l’Hongrie après la première guerre mondiale Le contexte de la première période suivant la première guerre mondiale a conduit à une redéfinition géopolitique générale de la région de l’Europe centrale et orientale où les territoires des Empires multinationaux ont été partagés entre de nombreux États nationaux. Dans beaucoup de régions, on a du établir de nouvelles frontières ne répondant pas pleinement aux critères ethniques, historiques, économiques ou géographiques. Le travail des commissions de délimitation convoquées dans ces territoires pour définir ces frontières - comme dans le cas de la Roumanie et de l’Hongrie – a par suite une très grande importance pour comprendre l’impact des nouvelles frontières sur la réalité locale de nombreuses régions européennes et ses conséquences pour le développement futur, soit dans les relations entre les États, soit dans les relations sociales et économiques entre groupes ethniques et communautés locales.

description: The distribution of cosmological neutral hydrogen will provide a new window into the large-scale structure of the Universe with the next generation of radio telescopes and surveys. The observation of this material, through 21cm line emission, will be confused by foreground emission in the same frequencies. Even after these foregrounds are removed, the reconstructed map may not exactly match the original cosmological signal, which will introduce systematic errors and offset into the measured correlations. In this paper, we simulate future surveys of neutral hydrogen using the Horizon Run 4 (HR4) cosmological N-body simulation. We generate HI intensity maps from the HR4 halo catalogue, and combine with foreground radio emission maps from the Global Sky Model, to create accurate simulations over the entire sky. We simulate the HI sky for the frequency range 700-800 MHz, matching the sensitivity of the Tianlai pathfinder. We test the accuracy of the fastICA, PCA and log-polynomial fitting foreground removal methods to recover the input cosmological angular power spectrum and measure the parameters. We show the effect of survey noise levels and beam sizes on the recovered the cosmological constraints. We find that while the reconstruction removes power from the cosmological 21cm distribution on large-scales, we can correct for this and recover the input parameters in the noise-free case. However, the effect of noise and beam size of the Tianlai pathfinder prevents accurate recovery of the cosmological parameters when using only intensity mapping information.

description: We provide a method to deduce the preferences governing the restructuring dynamics of a network from the observed rewiring of the edges. Our approach is applicable for systems in which the preferences can be formulated in terms of a single-vertex energy function with f(k) being the contribution of a node of degree k to the total energy, and the dynamics obeys the detailed balance. The method is first tested by Monte-Carlo simulations of restructuring graphs with known energies, then it is used to study variations of real network systems ranging from the co-authorship network of scientific publications to the asset graphs of the New York Stock Exchange. The empirical energies obtained from the restructuring can be described by a universal function f(k) -k ln(k), which is consistent with and justifies the validity of the preferential attachment rule proposed for growing networks.

description: From the perspective of balancing urban and rural development, this article researches the factors influencing the consumption level of rural residents in China. I select the relevant data concerning per capita net income of rural households and annual per capita consumer spending of rural residents for living in the period 1985-2008, establish the regression model of per capita net income of rural households and per capita consumer spending of rural residents for living, and conduct regression analysis and error correction model test using the measurement software. The analysis results show that there is not only long-term equilibrium relationship between rural residents' current consumption and rural residents' current income, between rural residents' consumption in lag period 1 and rural residents' income in lag period 1, but also short-term equilibrium relationship; current income is the main reason for determining the current consumption). Corresponding proposals are put forward to promote the level of rural consumption in China as follows: propel agricultural modernization; actively develop specialized cooperative organizations of rural residents; improve rural land transfer mechanism; promote the level of public services in rural areas; accelerate the transfer of rural surplus labor.

description: Places and scenes: a geographical reading of spatial representations in opera productions The contribution moves from geographical interests and aims focusing on the representation of space in the scenic installations of opera. The melodrama represents an artistic expression that signifies the Western cultural dimension starting at least from the late Sixteenth century. Finding syntheses among music, words and drama, opera continues today to draw nourishment from its reproduction and re-proposal in scenic solutions, directorial visions and new productions. Through the critical comparison between pairs of alternative sets of three works that characterise the Italian musical production -Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti, La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and Turandot by Giacomo Puccini-, we want to reveal the terms in which the geographical discourse meets cultural instances in the reading of the landscape. Les lieux et les scènes: une lecture géographique des représentations de l'espace dans les mises en scène d'opéra À partir d'un point de vue géographique, la contribution se base sur la représentation de l'espace dans les installations scéniques de l’opéra. Le mélodrame représente une forme artistique expressif de la dimension culturelle occidentale au moins à partir de la fin du XVIe siècle. À la recherche d’une synthèse entre musique, paroles et théâtre, l'opéra continue de s’alimenter de sa reproduction et de sa capacité à proposer solutions scéniques, des visions des metteurs en scène et de nouvelles productions. Par la comparaison critique de trois couples de mise en scène alternatifs de ouvrages qui caractérisent la production musicale italienne - Lucia di Lammermoor de Gaetano Donizetti, La Traviata de Giuseppe Verdi et Turandot de Giacomo Puccini - nous souhaitons réfléchir sur les termes du dialogue géographique entre instances culturelles dans la lecture du paysage.

This study deals with modelling the distribution of the subsurface temperature in space and the respective evolution in time in response to variations in the thermal boundary condition starting from the last glacial maximum (LGM, 26 ka BP). The aim here is to better understand (i) the feedback mechanisms between the atmosphere and solid earth components, and (ii) to which degree this coupling might be relevant for subsurface thermal modelling studies. The study area is the Central European Basin System (CEBS) in northern and Central Europe and state-of-the-art temperature reconstructions from the LGM to present have been used to model the surface thermal boundary conditions. Thereby, investigations on how such transient surface temperature conditions influence the temperature distribution with depth and over time within a heterogeneous sedimentary cover were carried out. The subsurface beneath the CEBS consists of more than 10 km thick sediments, which have been heavily restructured by salt movements during the whole Mesozoic evolution. Our 3D geological model resolves all major sedimentary and crustal domains, and we relied on the Max-Planck-Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) temperature chronology. Starting from steady-state initial conditions, transient simulation runs are performed which cover the time from the LGM to present. Results are discussed in terms of temperature evolution over time and space. The focus will lie on quantifying subsurface conditions favourable to the establishment and maintenance of abnormally low temperature evolution and the related equilibration time within the sedimentary pile and which implications this might have for geothermal projects.

description: Conventional camera traps, used for wildlife monitoring and conservation, cause a large number of false triggers, filling up memory cards and draining the batteries. This leads to a shorter operating time, which is a particular problem in remote locations where regular checks on the trap are not feasible. The approach of lntellitraps, which utilises a time-of-flight-camera (ToF-camera) and its depth information, achieves 81.5% accuracy on dataset_Large with 4714 test samples, an Fl-score of 0.643, a sensitivity of 0. 765 and a precision of 0.555. This thesis focuses on further increasing the performance in animal detection of the current algorithm by using machine learning methods. Several convolutional neural networks (CNN) were evaluated using the machine learning toolchain PyTorch. In addition, multiple standard preprocessing steps namely normalisation and histogram equalisation are applied to the data. Furthermore, ToF-camera-specific preprocessing steps such as leveraging the existing lntellitraps algorithm to define a Region of lnterest (ROI) are used. The best performance was measured when using ResNet-18, a pretrained CNN with 11 million parameters, achieving 91.6% accuracy on dataset_Large with an Fl-score of 0.792, a sensitivity of 0.8 and a precision of 0.85. This is an additional 10.1 % accuracy compared to the lntellitraps algorithm and could increase the operating time of the camera trap. Since ResNet-18 is too large for deployment on the trap that has only 2 MB of flash, an alternative model, MobileNetV3 with only 1.5 million parameters, was considered, achieving 86.1 % accuracy on dataset_Large. With the scarcity of training data and the low resolution of the ToF-camera of just 60x160 pixels, a classification of animals into order, subgroup or species is not yet possible. The findings of this thesis permit lntellitraps to further refine their camera trap. With the enhanced sensitivity, fewer animals are missed, benefiting the monitoring of rare species. Furthermore, the enhanced precision reduces the occurrence of false triggers, thereby extending the camera's operational period in the field and minimising the time-consuming task of sorting out empty images.

description: The paper deals with the political and economic determinants of EU agri-environmental measures (AEMs) applied by 59 regional/country units, during the 2001-2004 period. Five different groups of determinants, spanning from positive and negative externalities, to political institutions, are highlighted and tested using an econometric model. Main results show that AEMs implementation is mostly affected by the strength of the farm lobby, and the demand for positive externalities. At the same time it emerges a prominent role played by political institutions. On the contrary, AEMs do not seem implemented by the willingness to address negative externalities.

The description of drilling probes due to their porosity is an important research subject in terms of searching for nuclear waste repositories. Th current techniques use raster electron microscope pictures together with various edge detection and growing seed algorithms coming from the field of image processing. Those algorithms suffer from certain shortcomings. The BGR has started the project ITERATOR to overcome those shortcomings with the usage of artificial intelligence, mainly with deep neural networks. The first step is to produce enough REM images and use them within the second step to train a neural network. The first results of the used neural network are promising. Within the speech the starting material and the used network will be described. A closer look inside the network will be provided to better demonstrate the function of the neural network. To complete the presentation of the project ITERATOR the next steps within the project (3D-Models and detection of rock grains).

description: Josephson current between two one-dimensional nanowires with proximity induced $p$-wave superconducting pairing is calculated in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction, in-plane and normal magnetic fields. We show that Andreev retro-tunneling is realized by means of three channels. The main contribution to the Josephson current gives a scattering in a conventional particle-hole channel, when an electron-like quasiparticle reflects to a hole-like quasiparticle with opposite spin yielding a current which depends only on the order parameters' phase differences $φ$ and oscillates with $4π$ period. Second anomalous particle-hole channel, corresponding to the Andreev reflection of an incident electron-like quasiparticle to an hole-like quasiparticle with the same spin orientation, survives only in the presence of the in-plane magnetic field. The contribution of this channel to the Josephson current oscillates with $4π$ period not only with $φ$ but also with orientational angle of the in-plane magnetic field $θ$ resulting in a magneto-Josephson effect. Third anomalous particle-particle channel, which represents a reflection of an electron-like (hole-like) quasiparticle to a electron-like (hole-like) quasiparticle with opposite spin-orientation, oscillates only with the in-plane magnetic field orientation angle $θ$. We present a detailed theoretical analysis of both DC and AC Josephson effects in such a system showing contributions from all these channels and discuss experiments which can test our theory.

description: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have boosted progress across various domains, particularly enabling breakthroughs in the discipline of Natural Language-Instructed Autonomous Agents for Computer Control (A2C2s). Due to their capabilities of understanding natural language and executing actions the same way a human would, these agents have the potential to significantly simplify human-machine interaction, reduce resource requirements in business, and empower non-technical users to operate computer systems effortlessly.
This thesis aims to provide an overview of the vast yet fragmented research landscape of A2C2s, enabling further innovation. Through a comprehensive literature review, existing agents and their capabilities were identified, summarized, categorized, and analyzed to extract potentials and challenges.
The result is a detailed taxonomy, likened to an archipelago, encompassing providing information to the agent, refining skills and building knowledge, ensuring task comprehensibility, debating and refining subtasks and interacting with the environment. Besides reviewing existing work, this thesis offers an analysis of pinnacle agents with foundational A2C2 skills and proposes a novel architecture for a comprehensive A2C2 that leverages the identified strengths. The findings suggest that an A2C2 must be able to decompose and structure user and system input and compare and reason plans in a closed loop. Consequently, state-of-the-art A2C2s utilize large foundation models because of their solid planning and image comprehension capabilities.
Promising progress in AI highlights strengths in general reasoning and image description. Key challenges include specializing these strengths for A2C2s, specifically reducing possible actions, decomposing instructions, and refining plans. Addressing these issues, along with considerations for security, performance, and personalization, is essential for future research.

description: Radiative corrections to QCD amplitudes in the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics are interesting in particular since the Reggeized form of these amplitudes is used in the derivation of the NLO BFKL. This form is a hypothesis which must be at least carefully checked, if not proved. We calculate the radiative corrections in the one-loop approximation using the s-channel unitarity. Compatibility of the Reggeized form of the amplitudes with the s-channel unitarity requires fulfillment of the set of nonlinear equations for the Reggeon vertices. We show that these equations are satisfied.

description: The cartographic image of Portugal in the first half of the 19th century and the Carta Geographica do Reino of 1865 The purpose of this scientific contribution is to illustrate probably the most important historical period for the Lusitanian cartography, the first half of the 19th century, which marked the definitive transition to a cartographic production based on rigorous scientific methods. It is therefore an era of openness, where the techniques of relief and those of graphical representation were refined, which led the country to finally endow itself with the first Carta Geographica do Reino of 1865, a document entirely produced by Lusitanian cartographers. This contribution consists of three parts. The first concerns a brief analysis of the Lusitanian cartography until the eighteenth century, the second one in particular deals with the cartographic production of the first half of the 19th century until the first Carta Geographica do Reino 1865, and the third part contains the conclusions. L' image cartographique du Portugal dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle et la Carta Geographica do Reino de 1865 Le but de cette contribution scientifique est d’illustrer la période historique probablement la plus importante pour la cartographie lusitaine, celle de la première moitié du XIXe siècle, qui a marqué le passage définitif à une production cartographique caractérisée par des méthodes scientifiques rigoureuses. C’est donc une ère d’ouverture où les techniques de relief et de représentation graphique ont été affinées, ce qui a conduit le pays à se doter de la première Carta Geographica do Reino de 1865, un document entièrement produit par des cartographes lusitains. Cette contribution comprend trois parties. La première concerne une brève analyse de la cartographie lusitaine jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle, la seconde en particulier la production cartographique de la première moitié du XIXe siècle jusqu'à la premère édition de la Carta Geographica do Reino en 1865, et enfin une troisième partie contenant les conclusions.

description: Ein Forschungsteam der ZHAW entwickelte zwischen 2022 und 2024 zusammen mit dem Büro BASS und der SKOS ein Berechnungstool (genannt Caseload Converter), welches es Sozialdienstleitenden ermöglicht, ihren Personalbedarf in Zusammenhang mit ihrer Falllast zu ermitteln und mit anderen Sozialdiensten zu vergleichen. Hierfür müssen Umrechnungsparameter berechnet werden, welche es erlauben, die unter-schiedlichen Voraussetzungen und Ausstattungen von polyvalenten und spezialisierten Sozialdiensten unterschiedlicher Grösse zu berücksichtigen. Ausgehend von der Winterthurer Studie (Eser Davolio et al. 2017), welche eine Reduktion der Sozialhilfekosten durch eine angemessene Falllast belegen konnte, indem die Sozialhilfebeziehenden besser reintegriert und abgelöst werden konnten, soll der Caseload Converter Sozialdienstleitenden wissenschaftsbasierte Argumente für die lokalpolitische Diskussion zur Anpassung des Personalbedarfs an die Hand geben. Zehn Kantone und 21 Sozialdienste waren an der Entwicklung des Caseload Converters und dessen Erprobung in vier Testphasen beteiligt (Vgl. Anhang 6.1 und 6.2). Der sogenannte Caseload Converter ermöglicht es Sozialdienstleitenden, den Personalbedarf für ihren Sozialdienst zu ermitteln. Das Tool umfasst ein umfangreiches, aber benutzerfreundliches Excel-Dokument mit mehreren Tabellenblättern, Steuerelementen sowie hinterlegten Berechnungsformeln. Es ist für polyvalente als auch nur auf Sozialhilfe spezialisierte Sozialdienste in der ganzen Schweiz und unabhängig von ihrer Grösse nutzbar (Vgl. Anhang 3). Ein Handbuch unterstützt die Nutzer:innen dabei, die Informationen eines individuellen Sozialdienstes in die im Tool vorgegebenen allgemeinen Kategorien zu übertragen, erläutert die verwendeten Berechnungsgrundlagen und gibt erste Hinweise, wie die ausgewiesenen Werte interpretiert und eingesetzt werden können (Vgl. Anhang 4).

The perspective relating to the socio-technological transition towards urban mobility sustainability scenarios provides a useful model for interpreting the social and technical dynamics and complexities involved in the phenomenon. In this paper a reflection is proposed on both these aspects and an analysis, related to the Italian scenario, animated by the search for the influence of the urban dimension and geographical area of reference, on the correlation between MUS and participation. Une analyse géographique du scénario italien concernant la relation, à l'échelle urbaine, entre participation et mobilité durable Le paradigme de la mobilitéurbaine durable (MUS) estdevenu un problèmecontemporain, à résoudrenécessairement, qui occupe de plus en plus le débatscientifique et le cadre de mise enœuvre par les planificateurs et les décideurs. La perspective relative à la transition socio-technologiquevers les scénarios de durabilité de la mobilitéurbainefournit un modèle utile pour interpréter les dynamiques et complexitéssociales et techniques impliquées dans le phénomène. Dans cet article, uneréflexionestproposée sur ces deux aspects et uneanalyse, liée au scénarioitalien, animée par la recherche de l’influence de la dimension urbaine et de la zone géographique de référence, sur la corrélation entre MUS et participation.

description: In a recent comment (Johansen A 2003 An alternative view, Quant. Finance 3: C6-C7, cond-mat/0302141), Anders Johansen has criticized our methodology and has questioned several of our results published in [Sornette D and Zhou W-X 2002 The US 2000-2002 market descent: how much longer and deeper? Quant. Finance 2: 468-81, cond-mat/0209065] and in our two consequent preprints [cond-mat/0212010, physics/0301023]. In the present reply, we clarify the issues on (i) the analogy between rupture and crash, (ii) the Landau expansion, ``double cosine'' and Weierstrass-type solutions, (iii) the symmetry between bubbles and anti-bubbles and universality, (iv) the condition of criticality, (v) the meaning of ``bullish anti-bubbles'', (vi) the absolute value of t_c-t, (vii) the fractal log-periodic power law patterns, (viii) the similarity between the Nikkei index in 1990-2000 and the S&P500 in 2000-2002 and (ix) the present status of our prediction.

description: Recent advancements in speaker verification (SV) technologies, particularly through deep neural networks (DNNs), have significantly contributed to the field of speaker recognition (SR). However, despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly in terms of robustness in noisy environments and the effective modeling of supra-segmental temporal information (SST) — attributes such as intonation and stress, which play a crucial role in human speaker recognition capabilities.
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of transformer models, a type of DNNs known for their success in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, in capturing these SST for SV tasks. We hypothesize that by pre-training transformer models to reconstruct hidden frames in speech spectrograms, the temporal nuances essential for accurate speaker recognition can be better captured. Our approach includes the development of a transformer-based SV system that is pre-trained on a task that is expected to capture these SST and subsequently fine-tuned on SV.
Initial experiments demonstrate that models trained on shuffled spectrograms, where temporal information is deliberately obscured, surprisingly do not show the expected decrease in performance. This suggests that these models may not rely on SST as significantly as hypothesized and are capable of achieving robust SV by predominantly learning from frame-based acoustic information (FBA), contrary to initial expectations.
The findings of this research could potentially improve the understanding of the dependencies of DNNs on temporal versus spectral features in SV tasks and contribute to the development of more robust SV systems capable of performing accurately under varied acoustic conditions.

description: Durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung werden immer mehr sensitive Daten in Webanwendungen verarbeitet. Diese sind ein attraktives Ziel für Cyberkriminelle. Um einen allfälligen Angriff entdecken zu können, loggen Webserver kontinuierlich Zugriffe auf gehostete Webanwendungen, was insbesondere in der Bankenbranche, wo Anwendungen mit sensiblen Daten und eingeschränkten Ressourcen arbeiten, von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Regelmässige Zugriffsmuster sind typisch, aber bösartige Aktivitäten erzeugen unregelmässige Logs, insbesondere während systematischer Suchen nach Daten oder Schwachstellen oder auch bei Angriffen gegen die Verfügbarkeit des Systems (DoS). Diese Arbeit stellt drei Prototypen vor, die einen LSTM-Autoencoder nutzen, um solche Anomalien zu erkennen. Die Prototypen wurden mit etwa 14,5 Millionen Logeinträgen eines produktiven Webservers über einen Zeitraum von neun Wochen trainiert. Es wurde eine detaillierte manuelle Aufbereitung der Logs durchgeführt, bei der Daten extrahiert und kategorisiert wurden. Anschliessend wurden die Prototypen an Logs aus einem späteren Zeitraum getestet, in dem überwachte Angriffe mit Zustimmung der Beteiligten durchgeführt wurden. Die Leistung wurde anhand der Kennzahlen Recall, Precision und F1-Score bewertet. Der beste Prototyp erzielte einen Recall von 99,85%, eine Precision von 94,10% und einen F1-Score von 96,89%, was im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Publikationen konkurrenzfähige Werte sind. Die hohe Recall-Rate zeigt, dass der Prototyp in der Lage ist, Anomalien in Webserver-Zugriffsprotokollen zuverlässig zu erkennen.
description: Web servers continuously log accesses to hosted web applications, a critical practice in sectors like banking where apps handle sensitive data and restricted resources. Regular access patterns are typical, but malicious activities create irregular logs, particularly during systematic searches for data or vulnerabilities or DoS attacks. This paper introduces three prototypes leveraging an LSTM autoencoder to detect such anomalies. The prototypes were trained on approximately 14.5 million log records from a production web server over nine weeks. Detailed manual preprocessing was conducted on the logs, involving the extraction and categorization of data. They were then tested on logs from a later period, during which supervised and consensual attacks were conducted. Performance was assessed using recall, precision, and F1-score metrics. The best prototype achieved a recall of 99.85%, a precision of 94.10%, and an F1-score of 96.89%, demonstrating competitive performance compared to existing methods. The high recall rate indicates the prototype’s strong capability to reliably detect anomalies in web server access logs.
