Interview with an avatar: comparing online and virtual reality perspective taking for gender bias in STEM hiring decisions
Creators: name: Crone, Cassandra Lynn
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Virtual perspective taking can reduce unconscious bias and increase empathy and prosocial behaviour toward individuals who are marginalised based on group stereotypes such as age, race, or socioeconomic status. However, the question remains whether this approach might reduce implicit gender bias, and the degree to which virtual immersion contributes to behavioural modulation following perspective taking tasks is unknown. Accordingly, we investigate the role of virtual perspective taking for binary gender using an online platform (Study 1) and immersive virtual reality (Study 2). Female and male undergraduates performed a simulated interview while virtually represented by an avatar that was either congruent or incongruent with their own gender. All participants rated a male and a female candidate on competence, hireability, likeability, empathy, and interpersonal closeness and then chose one of these two equivalently qualified candidates to hire for a laboratory assistant position in the male dominated industry of information technology. Online perspective taking did not reveal a significant influence of avatar gender on candidate ratings or candidate choice, whereas virtual reality perspective taking resulted in significant changes to participant behaviour following exposure to a gender-incongruent avatar (e.g., male embodied as female), such that men showed preference for the female candidate and women showed preference for the male candidate. Although between-group differences in candidate ratings were subtle, rating trends were consistent with substantial differences in candidate choice, and this effect was greater for men. Compared to an online approach, virtual reality perspective taking appears to exert greater influence on acute behavioural modulation for gender bias due to its ability to fully immerse participants in the experience of (temporarily) becoming someone else, with empathy as a potential mechanism underlying this phenomenon.
Serene justitia and the passions of the public sphere
Creators: name: Rosenblum, Warren
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2016

description: The image of justice as the triumph of reason over emotion legitimized state power in nineteenth century Germany. The allegorical figure of a serene and blindfolded Justitia embodied a promise of rationality and fairness for all citizens, regardless of politics, class, race or religion. After the turn of the century, however, there was growing dissatisfaction with this ideal of blind and dispassionate justice. A crisis of trust in justice climaxed in the Weimar Republic, when various “scandals” undermined the façade of legal reason and validated a new politics of emotion. This essay looks at two justice affairs, both from the city of Magdeburg, which marked a turning-point in left-liberal attitudes toward justice.

Solutions of the cubic Fermat equation in ring class fields of imaginary quadratic fields (as periodic points of a 3-adic algebraic function)
Creators: name: Morton, Patrick
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Explicit solutions of the cubic Fermat equation are constructed in ring class fields $Ω_f$, with conductor $f$ prime to $3$, of any imaginary quadratic field $K$ whose discriminant satisfies $d_K \equiv 1$ (mod $3$), in terms of the Dedekind $η$-function. As $K$ and $f$ vary, the set of coordinates of all solutions is shown to be the exact set of periodic points of a single algebraic function and its inverse defined on natural subsets of the maximal unramified, algebraic extension $\textsf{K}_3$ of the $3$-adic field $\mathbb{Q}_3$. This is used to give a dynamical proof of a class number relation of Deuring. These solutions are then used to give an unconditional proof of part of Aigner's conjecture: the cubic Fermat equation has a nontrivial solution in $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ if $d_K \equiv 1$ (mod $3$) and the class number $h(K)$ is not divisible by $3$. If $3 \mid h(K)$, congruence conditions for the trace of specific elements of $Ω_f$ are exhibited which imply the existence of a point of infinite order in $Fer_3(K)$.
Police emotion work in interpersonal homicides and attempted murders (1950s-1970s)

description: This article focuses on the intersection of law and emotion in both interpersonal homicides and attempted murders in postwar Germany. It analyses the emotion work of Stuttgart’s criminal police department in homicide cases from the 1950s to the 1970s. This emotion work will in turn be explored using a performative studies concept: The police hearings will be addressed as Aufführungen as conceived by Erika Fischer-Lichte—that is as performances that rely on a specific text and are characterized by the physical co-presence and shifting roles of actors and spectators in a specific place and for a certain amount of time. The analysis draws on files in which male residents from Italy were charged with homicide or attempted murder.

title: Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Common Raven Occurrence and Depredation of Artificial Nests Within Greater Sage‐Grouse Habitat in Southern Utah
Creators: name: Moffett, Zoë S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Certain species of wildlife are more generalist and adaptive than others. These species often flourish when supported by human activities that provide additional food and habitat for them. The common raven (Corvus corax; hereafter raven) is one such species; their populations have risen and spread throughout the Intermountain West. As generalist scavengers and predators, ravens have been found to pose a severe threat to several threatened or sensitive species, including the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse). The purpose of my research was to determine the specific anthropogenic and habitat factors that may increase the threat that ravens pose as sage-grouse nest predators in southern Utah. To do this, I conducted surveys for ravens in the winter and spring months (February-June) in 2021 and 2022. I also completed artificial nest experiments during the same years by placing chicken eggs underneath sagebrush with the intent of determining what habitat factors led to more instances of nest depredation by ravens. Through my surveys, I found that raven presence was significantly affected by the calendar date of the survey, how far the survey was from agricultural practices, and whether or not livestock was present during the survey. During the artificial nest experiment, I found that ravens were more likely to find and depredate nests that were within habitat that had been treated for pinyon-juniper removal compared to intact sagebrush. I also found that the nests were more likely to be depredated if they were placed underneath a shrub that was close to a nest that a raven had found and depredated. My research will help to inform sage-grouse management decisions that pertain to sagebrush vegetation treatments and raven mitigation strategies.
DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PLANTAS DE ALFACE (LACTUCA SATIVA L.) SUBMETIDAS À ADUBAÇÃO COM DIFERENTES DOSES DE TUCUPI

description: A alface (Lactuca sativa L) é uma hortaliça folhosa importante na dieta brasileira devido ser fonte de vitaminas, sais minerais e ter importância econômica, segundo Lima et al (2020). Portanto, o processo de adubação dessa espécie é de extrema importância. Com este intuito, foi desenvolvido o presente trabalho.
 A manipueira de mandioca (tucupi) destaca-se como um bioinsumo com potencialidade de uso na agricultura, segundo De Souza (2021). Uma tonelada de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Krantz) produz cerca de 300 l de manipueira. No Pará, já existem indústrias de fabricação de farinha de mandioca processando cerca de 20 t de raízes/dia e gerando cerca de 6m³/dia de manipueira concentrada ou 26m³/dia de manipueira diluída. Além disso, segundo De Souza (2021), o uso adequado da manipueira é um grande aliado para o agricultor, pois possui propriedades fertilizantes, fungicidas, nematicidas, inseticidas e acaricidas.
 Este trabalho teve como objetivo conhecer qual a melhor dose de tucupi, advindo da cultivar da mandioca brava: jurara, em solução com água, para o desenvolvimento da espécie Lactuca sativa L. (alface) em ciclo de 43 dias.

In particular, composing corestriction and restriction associated to a subgroup $H\leq G$ amounts to powering with the index $\lvert G:H \rvert$.

Disgust, compassion or tolerance: Law and emotions in the debate on §175 in West Germany
Creators: name: Nielsen, Philipp
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2016

description: In 1963, Germany debated the decriminalization of homosexuality as part of a reform of the country’s penal code. The debate provides a window into the discourse of law and emotions precisely at a point at which emotions allegedly felt by the people as a whole lost their argumentative superiority over individual rights. The article investigates the public discussion rather than that among legal experts. The parties involved openly debated the importance of feelings for legislation. Beyond the normative connection of law and emotions, varying feelings from love to desire were invoked by all sides. This article will look particularly at emotions vis-à-vis homosexual men—but not their own emotions, either self-expressed or ascribed, such as love, desire, or friendship. Instead, the role of disgust and compassion in the debate will be analyzed, feelings that have a longer history in the context of law and have recently received greater attention as possible »political emotions« (Nussbaum 2014). This article concentrates on the intervention of the Jewish rémigré Hans-Joachim Schoeps in that debate and the responses to his articles in Der Monat and Christ und Welt. Precisely because the debate revolved around the position of minorities in a democratic society, it is illuminating for the role emotions—in this instance descriptive or expressive ones that were supposed to give normative grounding to a law—can play in negotiating difference. For West Germany, the debate is of additional interest for the way in which its society dealt with the country’s recent past and tried to translate it into a democratic future.

On the boundaries of knowledge. Security, the sensible, and the law
Creators: name: Krasmann, Susanne
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2016

description: Governing security means acting under conditions of uncertainty, that is, operating at the boundary of the knowable, as security is about dangers and threats that by definition have not yet materialized. Security in this sense relies on imagination, which renders the future accessible. Furthermore, security concerns the undesired and is therefore intertwined with emotions and affects. It is about dangers and threats that should not materialize. Drawing on the example of Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court decision on deploying military forces within national boundaries in the name of security, the article examines the relationship of the law to the sensible, to moments of anticipation and imagination, and to emotions and affect that exceed language. Taking on the form of fictive realities, these moments come to affect and shape the law, they are inscribed into the law as security matters. Since this happens rather implicitly, these processes tend to remain unrecognized by legal theory. However, fictive realities are an important ingredient of law’s reality.

Doing colonialism: reading the banishment of a »native chief« in the Tanganyika territory
Creators: name: Brockmeyer, Bettina
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2017

description: This article takes a closer look at the »colonial situation« (Balandier 1970). It seeks to shed light on a multifaceted non-colonizing colonial biography during the time of European conquest. The focus lies on the interpretation of the banishment of a »chief« in the British-mandated territory of Tanganyika. This chief, Sapi Mkwawa (1879–1951), was an important figure within European colonization. He experienced two colonizing powers in a prominent but ambiguous position. I argue that through close analysis of the archival material on this banishment, colonialism becomes visible as an ongoing process, based on different forms of a »politics of belonging«. Class and »tribe« function as features of »belonging« that are consolidated by the authority of the Mkwawa family, in addition to being bolstered by colonial power relations.

»Germans like to quarrel«: Conflict and belonging in German diasporic communities around 1900
Creators: name: Manz, Stefan
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2017

description: Discourses of inclusion and exclusion were an integral part of German nation-building after 1871. The paper shows that they were not confined to the metropole but were, in fact, reciprocated abroad. Selected instances of conflict within German migrant communities around the world are taken as a springboard to analyze public contestations of (trans-)national belonging. The sources abound with gossip, aggressive bickering, and official complaints to authorities. Contentious issues cover the areas of politics, religion, class, and language. The case studies engage critically with a number of wider issues. First, they question contemporaneous interpretations of an Imperial diaspora as a unified and Heimat-oriented block. Second, on a theoretical level the article argues that internal ruptures are constitutive elements of diaspora construction and should be considered in concomitant theorizations. Third, the case studies highlight the close connection between diaspora and nation-building. Fourth, the discourses studied took place not only within communities, but also between them, as well as with the metropole, all in multi-directional ways. Questions of belonging were discussed around the world with strikingly similar arguments and terminology. Globalization was at work at the discourse level.

Migration pressures and opportunities: Challenges to belonging in the European Unions’ mobility regime

Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2017

description: This article scrutinizes the mobility regime of the EU by focusing on the challenges to belonging, which are incremental, but often neglected, aspects of the expansion of mobility rights. Based on a qualitative study of migration between Poland and Germany, one of the worlds’ most vivid and historically rooted migration spaces, I will argue that the enabled mobility in the course of the expansion of the EU beginning in 2004, created a situation for many to choose between two unsatisfying modes of belonging: Either choosing for the »Scylla« of migrating to what for some of them feels like unfamiliar social contexts with challenges for their belonging, mainly due to the shared beliefs of countries as framed by ethnic boundaries. Or, they can chose for the »Charybdis« of non-migrating, which is consequential because it implies resisting contemporary mobility discourses, which frame being »put in place« as lower life chances and modes for self-realization, mostly as a matter of class and gender.

By using the ultraviolet strong transition combined with a solid immersion lens and high-resolution optics, our system resolved individual sites in an optical lattice with a 544-nm spacing. Without any cooling mechanism during the imaging process, the deep potential required to contain the atoms was realized using a combination of a shallow ground-state and a deep excited-state potentials. The lifetime and limitations of this setup were studied in detail.

description: In this thesis, two searches for the pair production of vector-like top (VLT) and vector-like bottom (VLB) quarks are presented using 36.1 fb⁻¹ and 139 fb⁻¹ of data. The data was taken at √s = 13 TeV in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector, which is one of the major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The decay signature of this search for TT and BB production is characterized by the presence of a Z-boson, which is reconstructed from two opposite-charge same-flavor leptons (e or μ) and is produced alongside a third-generation quark. In addition, the analyses target final-state objects with high transverse momentum, pT. Within the scope of this thesis, the Multi-Class Boosted-Object Tagger (MCBOT) is developed and characterized. It uses a deep neural network, which identifies reclustered large-radius jets originating from V-bosons, H-bosons, top-quarks and background unambiguously. For the search with 139 fb⁻¹, the multiplicity of hadronic high-pT objects is exploited by defining multiple regions according to the number of MCBOT- and b-tags. No deviation from the Standard Model expectation is found in the observed data for 36.1 fb⁻¹ and 139 fb⁻¹, and exclusion limits on the pair production cross-section and the mass of VLT and VLB quarks are set depending on various branching-ratio assumptions. With 36.1 fb⁻¹, VLT quark masses below 1102 GeV are excluded with respect to the (T,B) and (X,T) doublet models. For VLB quarks, lower mass limits of 1063 GeV are set for the (B,Y) doublet. The results of this search significantly contribute to the sensitivity of two combination searches for TT and BB production performed at the ATLAS experiment with 36.1 fb⁻¹, which constrain the phase-space for vector-like quark existence further. For the full Run-2 search with 139 fb⁻¹ of data, lower limits on the VLT quark mass of 1350 GeV are observed and VLB quark masses below 1316 GeV are excluded assuming the mentioned doublet models. The observed limits of this search for TT and BB production represent the highest exclusion limits to date assuming the 100% branching ratio into Zt/b final states and – in case of VLB quarks – for the (B,Y) doublet model.
Mobility and belonging: A printer in nineteenth-century Northern Europe
Creators: name: Harders, Levke
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2017

description: This article examines intra-European migration in the early nineteenth century and ways in which the notion of belonging began to change in this mobile age. I will argue that strategies of making someone (not) belong differed on a local and national level and were influenced by intersecting categories of difference. To date, migration history has often focused on structures and policies, or on questions of assimilation and integration, while interactions between migrants and local communities were mostly overlooked. Based on a petition for naturalization, the article looks at one migrant’s attempt to stay in his new region of residence in the early 1840s. Correspondence related to the petition is examined to determine how politics and practices of migration were linked to ideas of belonging and were also an effect of negotiations. Focusing on this case study, I discuss belonging as a means of power, since the sources reflect the constant intersection of social status/class, education, and gender. Thus, inclusion and exclusion were practiced differently before nationality (and race/ethnicity) became established as categories of social inequality.

The Schur-Clifford subgroup contains exactly the equivalence classes coming from the intended application to Clifford theory of finite groups. We show that the Schur-Clifford subgroup is indeed a subgroup of the Brauer-Clifford group, as are certain naturally defined subsets. We also show that this Schur-Clifford subgroup behaves well with respect to restriction and corestriction maps between Brauer-Clifford groups.

title: Making Space for Student Agency: A Multilayered Exploration of Agency and Writing in a First‐Grade Classroom
Creators: name: DeCoursey, Kara
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Early literacy learning is crucial for later success in reading and writing. We have a limited understanding of generative writing (i.e., expressing ideas in writing) in first grade and further research is warranted. The socially situated nature of writing justifies a study of student agency during writing.
In this study, data were collected before, during, and after 10 writing sessions in a first-grade classroom. Students took a pre- and post-survey that revealed their self-perceptions of their agency and confidence as literacy learners. The participating teacher was interviewed three times and the teacher’s talk was recorded during all 45- to 60- minute writing sessions. Pictures and observational notes of students’ writing and actions were taken during the writing sessions. Data were analyzed through the calculation of students’ survey scores and frequency counts of teacher discourse. In addition, multiple read-throughs of the data sources led to the development of several descriptive categories and the identification of key themes.
Results showed that opportunities for students to choose and exercise agency arose when the teacher asked open-ended questions and gave encouragement to students that prompted them to act. When students’ made choices about what and how they wrote, they seemed empowered and to grow as individual writers.

description: We use a large volume-limited sample of disk galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 to study the dependence of the bar fraction on the stellar-to-halo mass ratio, making use of a group catalog, we identify central and satellite galaxies in our sample. For the central galaxies in the sample we estimate the stellar-to-halo mass ratio (M$_{\mathrm{*}}/$M$_{\mathrm{h}}$) and find that the fraction of barred galaxies is a strong function of this ratio, especially for the case of strong bars. Bars are more common in galaxies with high M$_{\mathrm{*}}/$M$_{\mathrm{h}}$ values, as expected from early theoretical works that showed that systems with massive dark matter halos are more stable against bar instabilities. We find that the change of the bar fraction with M$_{\mathrm{h}}$ and M$_{\mathrm{*}}$ is stronger if we consider a relation with the form $f_{\mathrm{bar}}=f_{\mathrm{bar}}$(M$_{\mathrm{*}}^α/$M$_{\mathrm{h}}$) with $α=1.5$, and that the bar fraction is largely independent of other physical properties such as color and spin parameter when M$_{\mathrm{*}}^{3/2}/$M$_{\mathrm{h}}$ is fixed. With our sample of galaxies segregated into centrals and satellites, we also compare the fraction of barred galaxies in each group, finding a slightly higher bar fraction for satellites when compared with centrals at fixed stellar mass, but at fixed color this difference becomes very weak. This result, in agreement with previous studies, confirms that the bar fraction does not directly depend on the group/cluster environment, but the dependence exists through its dependence on internal morphology.

Not just data: why data equity matters in education program evaluation

Subjects: subject: Data equity

description: In program evaluation, evaluators make hundreds of decisions that impact millions of students who participate in educational programs outside of school every year. These decisions often reflect personal and structural biases, but centering data equity throughout the evaluation process can guide evaluators to make more equitable decisions. This study proposes a framework — Data Equity in Education Program Evaluation (DEEPE) — for embedding data equity decisions throughout the evaluation process. The framework includes three stages, each with a focal principle: (1) planning: center racism and the voices of marginalized students, (2) analysis: challenge categorization, and (3) recommendations: use asset-based narratives. I use a case study of an online upskilling and reskilling program to demonstrate how to apply DEEPE and how it compares to a “traditional” evaluation. The evaluations focus on students’ course and certificate completion rates in the program. The resulting insights show that centering data equity can lead to program evaluations that are more accurate, highlight deeper inequities, and push for integrating equity in future steps. As education continues to become increasingly data-driven, embedding data equity into evaluation processes will be critical to achieving educational equity.

description: We report the first observation of a pressure-induced breakdown of the 3D-DSM state in Cd3As2, evidenced by a series of in-situ high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and single crystal transport measurements. We find that Cd3As2 undergoes a structural phase transition from a metallic tetragonal (T) phase in space group I41/acd to a semiconducting monoclinic (M) phase in space group P21/c at critical pressure 2.57 GPa, above this pressure, an activation energy gap appears, accompanied by distinct switches in Hall resistivity slope and electron mobility. These changes of crystal symmetry and corresponding transport properties manifest the breakdown of the 3D-DSM state in pressurized Cd3As2.

On the Social Constitution of Structures, Actions and Events
Creators: name: Youssef, Ramy

description: This article aims to address some obstacles to understanding events that are inherent in approaches focusing on the duality of structure and agency. The first rather epistemological obstacle is a terminological conflation between categories of theory and categories of practice. This conflation leads on the one hand to theoretical inconsistencies, particularly when action is being described in causal terms and events are being considered as temporal accumulation of actions. The second obstacle is rather ›ontological‹ and concerns the density of time. Events are not ontological entities but can be cut to size according to contingent social preferences and relevance criteria. An approach focusing on the communicative construction of events and actions as an emergent process would avoid analytical problems arising from these obstacles. Therefore, the article suggests Niklas Luhmann’s concept of communication as an example for such an approach.

Partnerverlust

description: Mit zunehmendem Alter steigt die Wahrscheinlichkeit von einem Partnerverlust betroffen zu sein. Hinterbliebene sind nach dem Verlust oft mit einer tiefen Trauer konfrontiert, welche mit verschiedenen physischen, psychischen und sozialen Auswirkungen einhergehen kann. Wie der Trauerprozess und die Adaption an die neue Lebenssituation verlaufen und das Wohlbefinden wieder verbessert werden kann, hängt von diversen extrapersonellen und intrapersonellen Ressourcen ab. Aus der Forschung zu Trauerprozessen und aus Praxisberichten aus der Trauerbegleitung geht hervor, dass es bedeutsam ist, verwitweten Personen während des Verarbeitungsprozesses Unterstützung zu gewähren. Eine starke Ressource stellt für ältere Hinterbliebene dabei die Familie und ein tragendes ausserfamiliäres Netzwerk dar. Es können jedoch nicht alle älteren Menschen darauf zurückgreifen. Deshalb sind professionelle Unterstützungsangebote sehr wichtig, wobei auch die Soziale Arbeit eine bedeutende Rolle einnehmen kann.

description: What do we know about voids in the dark matter distribution given the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and assuming the $Λ\mathrm{CDM}$ model? Recent application of the Bayesian inference algorithm BORG to the SDSS Data Release 7 main galaxy sample has generated detailed Eulerian and Lagrangian representations of the large-scale structure as well as the possibility to accurately quantify corresponding uncertainties. Building upon these results, we present constrained catalogs of voids in the Sloan volume, aiming at a physical representation of dark matter underdensities and at the alleviation of the problems due to sparsity and biasing on galaxy void catalogs. To do so, we generate data-constrained reconstructions of the presently observed large-scale structure using a fully non-linear gravitational model. We then find and analyze void candidates using the VIDE toolkit. Our methodology therefore predicts the properties of voids based on fusing prior information from simulations and data constraints. For usual void statistics (number function, ellipticity distribution and radial density profile), all the results obtained are in agreement with dark matter simulations. Our dark matter void candidates probe a deeper void hierarchy than voids directly based on the observed galaxies alone. The use of our catalogs therefore opens the way to high-precision void cosmology at the level of the dark matter field. We will make the void catalogs used in this work available at http://www.cosmicvoids.net.

description: The generation of the asymmetric cosmic baryon abundance requires a departure from thermal equilibrium in the early universe. In a large class of baryogenesis models, the baryon asymmetry results from the out-of-equilibrium decay of a new, massive particle. We highlight that in the interesting scenario where this particle has a weak scale mass, this out-of-equilibrium condition requires a proper decay length larger than O(1) mm. Such new fields are within reach of the LHC, at which they can be pair produced leaving a distinctive, displaced-vertex signature. This scenario is realized in the recently proposed mechanism of baryogenesis where the baryon asymmetry is produced through the freeze-out and subsequent decay of a meta-stable weakly interacting massive particle ("WIMP baryogenesis"). In analogy to missing energy searches for WIMP dark matter, the LHC is an excellent probe of these new long-lived particles responsible for baryogenesis via the low-background displaced vertex channel. In our paper, we estimate the limits on simplified models inspired by WIMP baryogenesis from two of the most sensitive collider searches by CMS and ATLAS with 8 TeV LHC data. We also estimate the LHC reach at 13 TeV using current strategies, and demonstrate that O(10) improvements in cross-section limits can be achieved by requiring two displaced vertices while lowering kinematic thresholds. For meta-stable WIMPs produced through electroweak interactions, the high luminosity LHC is sensitive to masses up to 2.5 TeV for lifetimes around 1 cm, while for singlets pair-produced through the off-shell-Higgs portal, the LHC is sensitive to production cross sections of O(50) ab for benchmark masses around 150 GeV. Our analysis and proposals also generally apply to displaced vertex signatures from other new physics such as hidden valley models, twin Higgs models and displaced supersymmetry.

Nancy Reagan in the ghetto. On space as mediator between structure and event
Creators: name: Nyberg, Ferdinand
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2017

description: Using a concerted drug raid as example, this article suggests how spaces can mediate between event and structures, thereby legitimizing policy and policing. With regard to the war on drugs, space and space-related characters become crucial components – ontological agents – in discourse through their capacity of furnishing drugs with useable meanings, related especially to notions of inside and outside. Ultimately, those spatial-typological connective webs imagined by discourse merit attention for drugs- and identity research. Reviewing a concerted drug raid (and related material), the article builds on contemporary drug worries and identifies those drug spaces – which are here called narcotopias – which would have mattered in event-structure mediation. Spatial-discursive connections are characterized as follows: a narrative of invaded suburbia, and an invaded privileged American identity, became a decisive framing device for Reaganite policy. Still, formal policy reflected more than it produced, and public discourse already imagined the drug scourge as a rough spatial troika, consisting of a foreign outside (i.e. Latin America), a colluding or besieged domestic outside (i.e. the ghetto), and an innocent but threatened inside (i.e. ideal suburbia). This troika made an American identity in need of abstention and protection seem common sense. And common sense, too, became spatially informed: it would entail fighting strange and hard outsides with familiar and hard measures.

Behindertenhilfe
Wohnbegleitung

description: 2017 hat der Kanton Basel-Landschaft die Finanzierung in der Behindertenhilfe von Objekt- auf Subjektfinanzierung umgestellt. In der Folge wird der individuelle Bedarf von Personen, die bereits eine Leistung beziehen – oder beziehen möchten – mittels eines Instruments erhoben. Damit wird das Finanzierungssystem insofern verändert, dass die Leistungen nicht mehr über eine Objektkostenpauschale der einzelnen Institutionen finanziert werden. Die Institutionen müssen sich infolgedessen mit der neuen Finanzierung befassen und ökonomische Aspekte in ihren internen Strukturen berücksichtigen und umsetzen. Die Umstellung hat Auswirkungen auf allen Ebenen. Auf der Mikroebene haben Sozialarbeitende einen Anspruch auf eine fachliche Ausübung ihrer Tätigkeit, die durch gesetzliche- und organisationale Rahmenbedingungen bestimmt wird. Derzeit stellen Sozialarbeitende positive und negative Veränderungen in ihrem Arbeitsalltag fest. Verschiedene, auf Professionalität abzielende, Aspekte des Handelns werden aus Interviews mit Sozialarbeitenden aufgegriffen und im Kontext mit dem Behindertenhilfegesetz diskutiert. Im Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen ambulante Wohnbegleitungsangebote für Menschen mit einer psychischen Erkrankung.
Braudel and Foucault on structure and event. Towards a new approach to (neo)liberalism and capitalism
Creators: name: Gürkan, Ceyhun

description: Fernand Braudel and Michel Foucault are two renowned French historians exerting enormous influence on studies of the history of capitalism and (neo)liberalism in the context of historical sociology and governmentality respectively. Inspired by their revolutionary works on history, sociology and politics, this paper first seeks to lay out the dialogue between Braudel and Foucault in the context of their references to one another in their texts and, in turn, evaluates their views on structures and events comparatively. In what follows, we claim that their ways of understanding of structures and events are best grasped around their own analytics ―Braudel’s tripartite schema of economic civilization and Foucault’s analytics of power and government. Considering the historical background of modern society, Braudel being an economic historian focuses on the history of capitalism whereas Foucault deals with the history of (neo)liberalism. The paper is finally engaged in integrating their analytics, which also makes the views of Braudel and Foucault on structures and events all the clearer, in order to take further steps towards achieving a comprehensive sociological and historical understanding of capitalism and (neo)liberalism.
