title: Selbstermächtigende Handlungsstrategien in Deutsch als Zweitsprache-Erwachsenenbildungskursen und deren Wirkung auf die Lernenden
Creators: name: Sitter, Jasmin
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie selbstermächtigende Handlungsstrategien in Deutsch als Zweitsprache-Kursen eingesetzt werden können und rückt dabei den Fokus auf die Lernenden sowie deren diesbezügliche Erfahrungen. Im Rahmen der Forschung wurde zuerst eine Didaktisierung erstellt, in deren Fokus selbstermächtigende Handlungsstrategien stehen. Es werden darin keine vorgefertigten Strategien angewandt, sondern die Lernenden erarbeiten sich selbst in einer Unterrichtssequenz mögliche, für sie passende Handlungsstrategien, die sie in Konfliktsituationen in die Selbstermächtigung bringen können. Die entwickelte Didaktisierung wurde in einem regulären DaZ-Erwachsenenbildungskurs eingesetzt und durch eine Teilnehmende Unterrichtsbeobachtung und Experteninterviews, die mit den Lernenden geführt wurden, konnten wissenschaftlich fundierte Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden.

description: Theoretical predictions and observational data indicate a class of sub-Neptune exoplanets may have water-rich interiors covered by hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. Provided suitable climate conditions, such planets could host surface liquid oceans. Motivated by recent JWST observations of K2-18 b, we self-consistently model the photochemistry and potential detectability of biogenic sulfur gases in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptune waterworlds for the first time. On Earth today, organic sulfur compounds produced by marine biota are rapidly destroyed by photochemical processes before they can accumulate to significant levels. Domagal-Goldman et al. suggest that detectable biogenic sulfur signatures could emerge in Archean-like atmospheres with higher biological production or low UV flux. In this study, we explore biogenic sulfur across a wide range of biological fluxes and stellar UV environments. Critically, the main photochemical sinks are absent on the nightside of tidally locked planets. To address this, we further perform experiments with a 3D general circulation model and a 2D photochemical model (VULCAN 2D) to simulate the global distribution of biogenic gases to investigate their terminator concentrations as seen via transmission spectroscopy. Our models indicate that biogenic sulfur gases can rise to potentially detectable levels on hydrogen-rich water worlds, but only for enhanced global biosulfur flux (≳20 times modern Earth's flux). We find that it is challenging to identify DMS at 3.4 μm where it strongly overlaps with CH4, whereas it is more plausible to detect DMS and companion byproducts, ethylene (C2H4) and ethane (C2H6), in the mid-infrared between 9 and 13 μm.

description: Two models of random cones in high dimensions are considered, together with their duals. The Donoho-Tanner random cone $D_{n,d}$ can be defined as the positive hull of $n$ independent $d$-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The Cover-Efron random cone $C_{n,d}$ is essentially defined as the same positive hull, conditioned on the event that it is not the whole space. We consider expectations of various combinatorial and geometric functionals of these random cones and prove that they satisfy limit theorems, as $d$ and $n$ tend to infinity in a suitably coordinated way. This includes, for example, large deviation principles and central as well as non-central limit theorems for the expected number of $k$-faces and the $k$-th conic intrinsic volumes, as $n$, $d$ and possibly also $k$ tend to infinity simultaneously. Furthermore, we determine the precise high-dimensional asymptotic behaviour of the expected statistical dimension for both models of random cones, uncovering thereby another high-dimensional phase transition. As an application, limit theorems for the number of $k$-faces of high-dimensional polytopes generated by random Gale diagrams are discussed as well.

description: A razão deste artigo é definir a nossa posição em reJação à importância da punção lombar no diagnóstico de uma meningite purulenta.

Nos últimos tempos surgiram correntes a propor abolir a punção lombar diagnostica, considerando-a desnecessária (o agente pode ser isolado de outros locais e podem usar-se outras técnicas de identificação) e até perigosa (herniação cerebral, paragem cardio-respiratória).

Mas não há sinais clínicos patognomonicos de meningite, nem do agente etiológico,    o exame citoquimico do liquido cefaloraquidiano e o isolamento do agente permitem um diagnóstico etiológico preciso e definitivo e ainda efectuar um teste de sensibilidade aos antibióticos que permite instituir uma antibioticoterapia dirigida, avaliar a emergência de resistências e sua monitorização, a prescrição eventual de quimioprofilaxia aos contactos, uma vigilância em lermos de saúde pública, uma avaliação prognóstica e um seguimento adequado do doente.

The hidden side of scalar-triplet models with spontaneous CP violation
Creators: name: Gonçalves, Bernardo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The Standard Model of particle physics is in remarkable agreement with most experimental data so far. However, a lot of questions remain unanswered, such as the origin of neutrino masses or the need for extra sources of CP violation. Possible solutions rest on scalar sector extensions, popular beyond-the-Standard-Model scenarios. The addition of scalar triplets is an attractive possibility, with small neutrino masses being generated via the type-II seesaw mechanism. Such models are much studied in the literature, but they still hide some features underneath. Although not possible with just one triplet, a CP-breaking vacuum is possible with the addition of two triplets, which could lead to interesting leptonic CP-violating effects. However, it also introduces novel and unexpected features in its scalar spectrum. In this work, we briefly present such hidden features. Based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.13179.pdf.
title: Heuristische Optimierung des multi-modalen RCPSP mit stochastischen Bearbeitungsdauern
Creators: name: Hrobath, Bernhard
Year: 2017

description: Ziel der Arbeit ist es, zwei heuristische Optimierungsmethoden für das multi-modale Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) zu erstellen und zu evaluieren. Dabei werden die Bearbeitungszeiten der Aktivitäten stochastisch (d.h. als Zufallsvariablen) angenommen und drei Modellierungen konstruiert. Als Basismodelle werden Gleichverteilung, Dreiecksverteilung und eine verschobene Weibull-Verteilung herangezogen. Als Heuristiken werden dabei die variable neighborhood search (VNS) sowie ein genetischer Algorithmus (GA) verwendet. Diese Algorithmen müssen auf die besondere Problemstruktur, die stochastischen Bearbeitungszeiten sowie die in dieser Arbeit verwendete spezielle Zielfunktion – dem average value at risk zum Niveau α (AVaRα) der makespan maßgeschneidert konstruiert werden. Die Evaluierung erfolgt für insgesamt 90 Projekte der Benchmark-Datenbank PSPLIB. Die Projekte sind dabei von unterschiedlicher Größenordnung und Schwierigkeit. Aufgrund der stochastischen Modellierung der Bearbeitungszeiten ist eine Erweiterung der aus der Datenbank entnommenen Projekte durch die Konstruktion von Szenarien auf Basis der Modellierungen der stochastischen Bearbeitungszeiten nötig. Der Vergleich der Algorithmen zeigt, dass der VNS-Algorithmus in der hier verwendeten Umsetzung häufig besser abschneidet als der GA. Es werden mit der VNS im Großteil der betrachteten Problemstellungen bessere Lösungen gefunden. Die Komplexität der Problemstellung und der Modellierung birgt einige Hürden, die bei der Umsetzung der Algorithmen beachtet werden müssen. Insofern ergibt sich noch Verbesserungspotenzial um die Performanz der Algorithmen zu steigern. Die stochastische Modellierung der Bearbeitungszeiten ist zwar praxisrelevant, erfordert jedoch eine höhere Komplexität der Algorithmen, beispielsweise durch die aufwändigere Berechnung der Zielfunktion. Im Vergleich mit einer deterministischen Variante der Algorithmen erweisen sich die stochastischen Modellierungen jedoch als vorteilhaft. Dieser Vorteil zeigt sich insbesondere dann, wenn Zufallsmodelle zu Grunde liegen, in denen der Zusammenhang zwischen AVaRα und Modalwert (bzw. Erwartungswert) nicht mehr stark ausgeprägt ist.

description: Eastern Africa and Arabia were major hominin hotspots and critical crossroads for migrating towards Asia during the late Pleistocene. To decipher the role of spatiotemporal environmental change on human occupation and migration patterns, we remeasured the marine core from Meteor Site KL 15 in the Gulf of Aden and reanalyzed its data together with the aridity index from ICDP Site Chew Bahir in eastern Africa and the wet-dry index from ODP Site 967 in the eastern Mediterranean Sea using linear and nonlinear time series analysis. These analyses show major changes in the spatiotemporal paleoclimate dynamics at 400 and 150 ka BP (thousand years before 1950), presumably driven by changes in the amplitude of the orbital eccentricity. From 400 to 150 ka BP, eastern Africa and Arabia show synchronized wet-dry shifts, which changed drastically at 150 ka BP. After 150 ka BP, an overall trend to dry climate states is observable, and the hydroclimate dynamics between eastern Africa and Arabia are negatively correlated. Those spatio-temporal variations and interrelationships of climate potentially influenced the availability of spatial links for human expansion along those vertices. We observe positively correlated network links during the supposed out-of-Africa migration phases of H. sapiens. Furthermore, our data do not suggest hominin occupation phases during specific time intervals of humid or stable climates but provide evidence of the so far underestimated potential role of climate predictability as an important factor of hominin ecological competitiveness.

description: Predicting the spread of invasive species and understanding the role of niche dynamics in niche transferability are critical challenges in the management of biological invasions, both theoretically and practically. We used complementary species distribution modelling approaches, such as multivariate niche analysis and reciprocal distribution models, to test the niche conservatism hypothesis and to predict the potential distribution of the fishhook waterflea, Cercopagis pengoi. Our analysis indicated a significant similarity between its native and invasive ranges, suggesting that a subset of the Ponto-Caspian propagules may have been the founders of European populations. However, our results contradict the niche conservatism hypothesis, showing that C. pengoi has not fully occupied the available niche within its current invasive ranges. Moreover, we observed a notable niche expansion, reflecting a significant shift in niche following its intercontinental introduction in North America. Given the suitability of new environments for the expansion of C. pengoi and its tendency to evade detection prior to population surges, we recommend a focus on early detection through monitoring of both water columns and bottom sediments. This should be complemented by strict enforcement of ballast water regulations to curtail its spread in North America, Europe, and other suitable non-native regions globally.

description: Sky surveys are the largest data generators in astronomy, making automated tools for extracting meaningful scientific information an absolute necessity. We show that, without the need for labels, self-supervised learning recovers representations of sky survey images that are semantically useful for a variety of scientific tasks. These representations can be directly used as features, or fine-tuned, to outperform supervised methods trained only on labeled data. We apply a contrastive learning framework on multi-band galaxy photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to learn image representations. We then use them for galaxy morphology classification, and fine-tune them for photometric redshift estimation, using labels from the Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset and SDSS spectroscopy. In both downstream tasks, using the same learned representations, we outperform the supervised state-of-the-art results, and we show that our approach can achieve the accuracy of supervised models while using 2-4 times fewer labels for training.

description: Isogenic cells respond in a heterogeneous manner to interferon. Using a micropatterning approach combined with high-content imaging and spatial analyses, we characterized how the population context (position of a cell with respect to neighboring cells) of epithelial cells affects their response to interferons. We identified that cells at the edge of cellular colonies are more responsive than cells embedded within colonies. We determined that this spatial heterogeneity in interferon response resulted from the polarized basolateral interferon receptor distribution, making cells located in the center of cellular colonies less responsive to ectopic interferon stimulation. This was conserved across cell lines and primary cells originating from epithelial tissues. Importantly, cells embedded within cellular colonies were not protected from viral infection by apical interferon treatment, demonstrating that the population context-driven heterogeneous response to interferon influences the outcome of viral infection. Our data highlights that the behavior of isolated cells does not directly translate to their behavior in a population, placing the population context as one important factor influencing heterogeneity during interferon response in epithelial cells.

description: 21. Panicum palackyanum A. Camus in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 77: 638. 1931 (Fig. 12).
Lectotypus (designated here): MADAGASCAR. Prov. Fianarantsoa: massif d’Andringitra, IV.1921, Perrier de la Bâthie 13748 (P [P00450245]!); isolectotype: P [P00224772, P00450246]!).
Scandent perennial, branched, c. 2 m long, the culms and nodes glabrous. Leaf sheaths glabrous with a fringe of cilia on the margins. Ligule a membrane. Leaf blades linear to linear-lanceolate, flat, chartaceous, 5–8 × 0.4–0.6 cm, drying green-brown, imbricate on young shoots, spreading or retrorse, glabrous on both sides. Panicles terminal, fully exserted, 11–18 cm long, contracted, with long branches appressed to the axis partly, the branches not whorled, scaberulous, the spikelets paired in most of the panicle, on short pedicels 1.5 –3 mm. Spikelets elliptic, apically obtuse, 2.5 mm long, whitish to purple, partly open at maturity. Lower glume 1/3–½ as long as the spikelet, chartaceous, apically rounded to obtuse, 3–5-veined, glabrous, clasping. Upper glume 3/4 as long as the spikelet, herbaceous, apically truncate, 5–7-veined, glabrous. Lower floret male, with a fully developed palea. Lower lemma herbaceous, 5-veined, glabrous. Upper lemma smooth, shiny, pale, with a pronounced apical crest.
Distribution and ecology. – Andringitra forest understory, c. 1600 m (Fig. 10B).
Notes. – This isolated collection seems difficult to place: the crest on its upper lemma could suggest a relationship with Acroceras, clustering of the spikelets along primary inflorescence branches could indicate a relationship with Urochloa / Brachiaria s.l. (but the panicle is more branched than in Acroceras or Urochloa), it differs from Urochloa by its smooth upper lemma, while poorly visible veins on the spikelet and a short upper glume suggests a relationship with other Andringitra endemics Panicum andringitrense, P. spergulifolium, and P. cupressifolium (although P. palackyanum has longer panicles and paired spikelets).
The lectotype sheet is chosen for its best quality original material annotated by Camus.

description: We consider a model for which every site of $\mathbb{N}$ is assigned a fitness in $[0,1]$. At every discrete time all the sites are updated and each site samples a uniform on $[0,1]$, independently of everything else. At every discrete time and independently of the past the environment is good with probability $p$ or bad with probability $1-p$. The fitness of each site is then updated to the maximum or the minimum between its present fitness and the sampled uniform, according to whether the environment is good or bad. Assuming the initial fitness distribution is exchangeable over the site indexing, the empirical fitness distribution is a probability-valued Markov process. We show that this Markov process converges to an explicitly-identified stationary distribution exhibiting a self-similar structure.

description: Recognition of mitotic figures in histologic tumor specimens is highly relevant to patient outcome assessment. This task is challenging for algorithms and human experts alike, with deterioration of algorithmic performance under shifts in image representations. Considerable covariate shifts occur when assessment is performed on different tumor types, images are acquired using different digitization devices, or specimens are produced in different laboratories. This observation motivated the inception of the 2022 challenge on MItosis Domain Generalization (MIDOG 2022). The challenge provided annotated histologic tumor images from six different domains and evaluated the algorithmic approaches for mitotic figure detection provided by nine challenge participants on ten independent domains. Ground truth for mitotic figure detection was established in two ways: a three-expert majority vote and an independent, immunohistochemistry-assisted set of labels. This work represents an overview of the challenge tasks, the algorithmic strategies employed by the participants, and potential factors contributing to their success. With an score of 0.764 for the top-performing team, we summarize that domain generalization across various tumor domains is possible with today’s deep learning-based recognition pipelines. However, we also found that domain characteristics not present in the training set (feline as new species, spindle cell shape as new morphology and a new scanner) led to small but significant decreases in performance. When assessed against the immunohistochemistry-assisted reference standard, all methods resulted in reduced recall scores, with only minor changes in the order of participants in the ranking.
A study of international commodity organization: with special reference to international wheat agreements
Creators: name: Biser, Harry C.
Publisher: name: American University

description: An explanation is necessary at the outset as to why this particular topic was chosen, and why this approach it used. To explain all that there is to about international wheat agreements, would have made this paper too long and cumbersome. The economic considerations are included - it would indeed be difficult to discuss an international economic arrangement without including factors of price, supply, and demand - but the greater emphasis is placed on administrative organization and procedures. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the major problems involved in the organization and administration of international wheat agreements, as well as proposed solutions put forth by various authors and organizations. The entire field of international commodity control, of which wheat occupies a prominent place, has been brought before the careful scrutiny of modern political and economic writers own to a greater extent today than before World War II. There are several reasons for this increase in popularity. First, government researchers are seeking a means of controverting the practices of economic nationalism, now employed by all the principal nations. The General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade and the proposed International Trade Organization (hereafter referred to as GATT and ITO respectively) are instruments of this concerted attack. The latter organization has specifically provided for the initiation and supervision of all commodity control schemes of the future (more fully discussed in Chapter IV). Secondly, the problem of chronic suppress in a few primary products has continued to plague the large producing countries, even after exhaustive bilateral measures have been tried. Since 1933, at one time or another, the United States Government has restricted wheat acreage, provided loans on accumulated stocks, and paid cut direct warns to farms (under the pretense lasts to conservation); all of which has failed to solve the wheat surplus dilemma, finally, international agreement on trade in the primary products is believed to be a contributing factor to world peace. Since the only major commodity agreement now existing is the International Wheat Agreement, promulgated in August, 1949, it is only natural that it would be held up by the critics as a basis of judgment for any future control arrangements. An examination of previous attempts at the international control of wheat trade was necessary to understand the problems faced by the present agreement.

description: The wide tunability of strongly correlated transition metal (TM) oxides stems from their complex electronic properties and the coupled degrees of freedom. Among the perovskite oxides family, LaMO3 (M = Ti-Ni) allows an M-dependent systematic study of the electronic structure within the same-structure-family motif. While most of the studies have been focusing on the 3d TMs and oxygen sites, the role of the rare-earth site has been far less explored. In this work, we use resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the lanthanum N4,5 edges and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the hybridization mechanisms in LaMO3. We link the spatial-overlap-driven hybridization to energetic-overlap-driven hybridization by comparing the RIXS chemical shifts and the DFT band widths. The scope is extended to highly covalent Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite La2CuO4 by intercalating lanthanum atoms to rock-salt layers. Our work evidences an observable contribution of localized lanthanum 5p and 4f orbitals in the band structure.
title: Venedig sehen
Creators: name: Kranawetter, Christina
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die letzte von insgesamt drei überlieferten Reden der venezianischen Humanistin Cassandra Fedele, welche in einer posthumen Edition Giacomo Filippo Tomasinis mit Cassandrae Fidelis oratio pro adventu Serenissimae Sarmaticae Reginae übertitelt ist. Die Rede wurde von der Autorin selbst anlässlich der Ankunft der polnischen Königinmutter, Bona Sforza, im Jahr 1556 in Venedig gehalten. Sie stellt somit ein Gelegenheitsstück dar, welches im spezifischen Kontext eines konkreten Festereignisses zu lesen ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Rhetorin in eine Reihe von wenigen Beispielen weiblicher Gelehrsamkeit einzuordnen, denen sich in der männlich dominierten Öffentlichkeit des italienischen Renaissance-Humanismus zumindest partiell die Möglichkeit bot, in der Gesellschaft sichtbar zu werden. In der Auffassung, dass nicht nur verbale Festbestandteile, sondern auch Feste selbst als kulturelle Texte lesbar sind, versucht sich diese Arbeit an einer Lesart der Rede Cassandra Fedeles, die sowohl ein literaturwissenschaftliches Interesse bedient, als auch die Einbettung des Textes in einen vielfältigeren medialen Kontext im Auge behält. Sowohl die Hintergründe des Festes insgesamt, als auch die Situierung der Rede innerhalb eines enger gefassten Festkontexts werden in der Arbeit berücksichtigt. Der Fokus liegt schließlich auf der sprachlichen Realisierung der rhetorischen Darbietung. Neben einem knappen, philologischen Kommentar soll diese nach denjenigen Parametern analysiert werden, die sich aus den kontextuellen Betrachtungen ergeben. Die Fragen nach der (ideologischen) staatlichen Repräsentation Venedigs sowie nach der persönlichen Stimme der Autorin dienen der Untersuchung als Leitfaden. Vor der Linse eines durch die historischen Bedingungen konturierten Blicks soll dem Leser dieser Arbeit somit aus einem relativ kurzen Textstück heraus nichts weniger erstehen als eine Welt.

description: We investigate whether certain non-classical communication channels can be simulated by a classical channel with a given number of states and a given `amount' of noise. It is proved that any noisy quantum channel can be simulated by a corresponding classical channel with `the same amount' of noise. Classical simulations of general probabilistic channels are also studied.
