description: In the international development community, the term "digital public goods" is used to describe open-source digital products (e.g., software, datasets) that aim to address the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. DPGs are increasingly being used to deliver government services around the world (e.g., ID management, healthcare registration). Because DPGs may handle sensitive data, the UN has established user privacy as a first-order requirement for DPGs. The privacy risks of DPGs are currently managed in part by the DPG standard, which includes a prerequisite questionnaire with questions designed to evaluate a DPG's privacy posture.
 This study examines the effectiveness of the current DPG standard for ensuring adequate privacy protections. We present a systematic assessment of responses from DPGs regarding their protections of users' privacy. We also present in-depth case studies from three widely-used DPGs to identify privacy threats and compare this to their responses to the DPG standard. Our findings reveal limitations in the current DPG standard's evaluation approach. We conclude by presenting preliminary recommendations and suggestions for strengthening the DPG standard as it relates to privacy. Additionally, we hope this study encourages more usable privacy research on communicating privacy, not only to end users but also third-party adopters of user-facing technologies.

description: Do self-formed teams perform better than other team structures? Using unique data from Virgo, a Nobel-prize-winning scientific organization with self-formed teams, first, I uncover new evidence on team formation and performance. Then, I develop a structural model to i) estimate which teams perform better controlling for self-formation and ii) evaluate the performance of counterfactual team structures. Regarding i), estimation results show that small teams perform better than large teams. Regarding ii), counterfactual results show that randomly formed teams perform worse than the observed self-formed teams, and teams with a more diverse membership perform better.

description: Speech models may be affected by performance imbalance in different population subgroups, raising concerns about fair treatment across these groups. Prior attempts to mitigate unfairness either focus on user-defined subgroups, potentially overlooking other affected subgroups, or do not explicitly improve the internal representation at the subgroup level. This paper proposes the first adoption of contrastive learning to mitigate speech model bias in underperforming subgroups. We employ a three-level learning technique that guides the model in focusing on different scopes for the contrastive loss, i.e., task, subgroup, and the errors within subgroups. The experiments on two spoken language understanding datasets and two languages demonstrate that our approach improves internal subgroup representations, thus reducing model bias and enhancing performance.

description: Реализован системный подход к математическому моделированию сложного многостадийного процесса карбонизации, позволяющий учитывать стехиометрические зависимости протекающих реакций. Предложена кинетическая модель процесса карбонизации на основе химических реакций, протекающих в карбонизационной колонне. Модель является основой получения функциональной зависимости в виде основного показателя качества процесса — степени утилизации натрия от выходных потоков карбонизационной колонны. Предлагаемый подход к разработке математических моделей, базирующихся на стехиометрических соотношениях и коэффициентах обратимости протекающих реакций, позволяет разрабатывать системы управления по показателям качества для химических процессов и обосновать рациональность структуры модели для целей оперативного управления объектами химических процессов с обратимыми реакциями.

description: Voice disorders are pathologies significantly affecting patient quality of life. However, non-invasive automated diagnosis of these pathologies is still under-explored, due to both a shortage of pathological voice data, and diversity of the recording types used for the diagnosis. This paper proposes a novel solution that adopts transformers directly working on raw voice signals and addresses data shortage through synthetic data generation and data augmentation. Further, we consider many recording types at the same time, such as sentence reading and sustained vowel emission, by employing a Mixture of Expert ensemble to align the predictions on different data types. The experimental results, obtained on both public and private datasets, show the effectiveness of our solution in the disorder detection and classification tasks and largely improve over existing approaches.

description: We show a correspondence between a classification of maximal abelian sub-algebras (MASAs) proposed by Jacques Dixmier and fragments of linear logic. We expose for this purpose a modified construction of Girard's hyperfinite geometry of interaction which interprets proofs as operators in a von Neumann algebra. The expressivity of the logic soundly interpreted in this model is dependent on properties of a MASA which is a parameter of the interpretation. We also unveil the essential role played by MASAs in previous geometry of interaction constructions.

Ce travail a permis de réaliser 27 lâchers de bouées sur 13 masses d’eau côtières ou de transition du littoral normand, qui ont totalisé 157 jours de dérive et près de 7 000 km de distance parcourue. Après une étape préliminaire de calibration du modèle NORM (MARS-3D), les trajectoires réelles des bouées ont été comparées avec des simulations de traceurs particulaires lâchés dans les mêmes conditions de forçage que les bouées. Enfin, des simulations de traceurs dissous à l’échelle des masses d’eau et à partir des points actuels de suivi du RHLN ont permis d’obtenir des cartes des temps de résidence, et l’évolution temporelle de la concentration de ces traceurs. Cette étude a permis de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement hydrodynamique du littoral normand, et pourra être complétée par une étude statistique des données in situ sur les points RHLN afin de finaliser la réflexion sur leur représentativité.
Block Renormalization for quantum Ising models in dimension $d=2$ : applications to the pure and random ferromagnet, and to the spin-glass

description: For the quantum Ising chain, the self-dual block renormalization procedure of Fernandez-Pacheco [Phys. Rev. D 19, 3173 (1979)] is known to reproduce exactly the location of the zero-temperature critical point and the correlation length exponent $ν=1$. Recently, Miyazaki and Nishimori [Phys. Rev. E 87, 032154 (2013)] have proposed to study the disordered quantum Ising model in dimensions $d>1$ by applying the Fernandez-Pacheco procedure successively in each direction. To avoid the inequivalence of directions of their approach, we propose here an alternative procedure where the $d$ directions are treated on the same footing. For the pure model, this leads to the correlation length exponents $ν\simeq 0.625$ in $d=2$ (to be compared with the 3D classical Ising model exponent $ν\simeq 0.63$) and $ν\simeq 0.5018$ (to be compared with the 4D classical Ising model mean-field exponent $ν=1/2$). For the disordered model in dimension $d=2$, either ferromagnetic or spin-glass, the numerical application of the renormalization rules to samples of linear size $L=4096$ yields that the transition is governed by an Infinite Disorder Fixed Point, with the activated exponent $ψ\simeq 0.65$, the typical correlation exponent $ν_{typ} \simeq 0.44$ and the finite-size correlation exponent $ν_{FS} \simeq 1.25$. We discuss the similarities and differences with the Strong Disorder Renormalization results.

title: Finanzierung von Gemeinwohl Start-ups über Crowdfunding
Creators: name: Gross, Alexandre
Year: 2021

description: Die „Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl“ hat im Jahr 2017 die Crowdfunding-Plattform „Crowdfunding für Gemeinwohl“ gegründet. Die Entstehung der Plattform ist das Resultat einer Neuausrichtung, nachdem das Projekt zur Gründung einer ethischen Bank in einem langen Verfahren gescheitert war und von über 4 Millionen Euro an gesammelten Genossenschaftskapital nur noch ein Viertel übrig war. Die Plattform soll als eigenständiger Geschäftsbereich funktionieren und der Genossenschaft zu wirtschaftlich nachhaltigen Ergebnissen verhelfen. Als Alleinstellungsmerkmal sollen lediglich gemeinwohlorientierte Projekte finanziert werden. Dafür wurde ein Projektauswahlverfahren etabliert, bei dem die Genossenschaftler die Crowdfunding-Projekte mitbewerten. Diese Arbeit nimmt einerseits eine Beurteilung des Projektauswahlverfahrens vor. Es zeigt sich, dass dem Verfahren ein Mangel an Transparenz anhaftet, dass es zu willkürlichen Bewertungen der Projekte führt und dass den Kriterien des Verfahrens eine wissenschaftliche Basis fehlt, weswegen die Projekte nicht allgemein gültig als gemeinwohlorientiert gelten können. Zum anderen wird mittels der Signalling-Theorie evaluiert, ob es den Kapitalgebern ermöglicht wird, fundierte Investitionsentscheidungen zu treffen. Dafür werden auf Grundlage der Literatur Signale bestimmt, die Informationsasymmetrien zwischen Kapitalgebern und Kapitalnehmern reduzieren und dabei helfen, Qualität zu erkennen. Insgesamt bestehen auf der Plattform an vielen Stellen erhebliche Informationsasymmetrien. Häufig gibt es keinerlei Informationen oder es sind zwar Informationen vorhanden, es fehlt aber an Konkretisierungen. Daraus ergeben sich Risiken für Kapitalgeber. Es entsteht ein Zielkonflikt für die Plattformbetreiber: Da sie an erfolgreich finanzierten Projekten verdienen, wollen sie viele Projekte finanzieren. Gleichzeitig sind sie für die Qualität der Projekte und die Schaffung von Transparenz mitverantwortlich. Misserfolge unter den Projekten können zu einem Rückgang der Investitionsbereitschaft führen. Damit die Plattform als Geschäftsbereich für die GfG wirtschaftlich ins Gewicht fällt, muss die Anzahl der finanzierten Projekte jedoch erhöht werden. Die Zukunftsprognose der Plattform ist insgesamt unsicher.

A graph-separation theorem for quantum causal models
Creators: name: Pienaar, Jacques
name: Brukner, Caslav
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A causal model is an abstract representation of a physical system as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), where the statistical dependencies are encoded using a graphical criterion called `d-separation'. Recent work by Wood & Spekkens shows that causal models cannot, in general, provide a faithful representation of quantum systems. Since d-separation encodes a form of Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle (RCCP), whose validity is questionable in quantum mechanics, we propose a generalised graph separation rule that does not assume the RCCP. We prove that the new rule faithfully captures the statistical dependencies between observables in a quantum network, encoded as a DAG, and is consistent with d-separation in a classical limit. We note that the resulting model is still unable to give a faithful representation of correlations stronger than quantum mechanics, such as the Popescu-Rorlich box.

description: This report provides the preliminary findings drawing upon indepth qualitative interviews with young Indigenous LGBTIQA+ people (14 - 25 years) and their experiences of growing up Queer across NSW and the eastern seaboard. Over a period of 12 months (September 2019 - September 2020) 16 young Indigenous people who self-identified as LGBTIQA+ were interviewed across four primary areas including: What it means to be young, Indigenous, LGBTIQA+ for their emotional and social wellbeing;how they navigated family and community to maintain social and emotional wellbeing; what aspects of their journey's were supportive and respectful; and finally, what areas would they recommend for improvement to increase social and emotional wellbeing and the transition to young adulthood. The primary objective of this project is to better understand how the interstice of Indigenous, LBGTIQ and youth  impacts upon their social and emotional wellbeing to enable the development of tailored supports and services to effectively support young Indigenous LGBTIQA+ people. The interviews are Phase 1 of the NSW component of the national study funded. This work was supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) under its Targeted Call 2018 Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing funding round (Grant ID: 1157377).

description: We characterize, by means of large-scale fermion quantum Monte Carlo simulations, metallic and deconfined quantum phase transitions in a bilayer honeycomb model in terms of their quantum critical and finite-temperature properties.The model features three different phases at zero temperature as function of interaction strength. At weak interaction, a fully symmetric Dirac semimetal state is realized. At intermediate and strong interaction, respectively, two long-range-ordered phases that break different symmetries are stabilized. The ordered phases feature partial and full, respectively, gap openings in the fermion spectrum. The first transition between the disordered and long-range-ordered semimetallic phases has previously been argued to be described by the $(2+1)$-dimensional Gross-Neveu-SO(3) field theory. By performing simulations with an improved symmetric Trotter decomposition, we further substantiate this claim by computing the critical exponents $1/ν$, $η_ϕ$, and $η_ψ$, which turn out to be consistent with the field-theoretical expectation within numerical and analytical uncertainties. The second transition between the two long-range-ordered phases has previously been proposed as a possible instance of a metallic deconfined quantum critical point. We further develop this scenario by analyzing the spectral functions in the single-particle, particle-hole, and particle-particle channels. Our results indicate gapless excitations with a unique velocity, supporting the emergence of Lorentz symmetry at criticality. We also compute the finite-temperature phase boundaries of the ordered states above the fully gapped state at large interaction. The phase boundaries vanishes smoothly in the vicinity of the putative metallic deconfined quantum critical point, in agreement with the expectation for a continuous or weakly-first-order transition.

The recently suggested generalization from N=2 to arbitrary N of the Kauffman-Khovanov calculus of cycles in resolved diagrams can be straightforwardly applied to non-planar case. In simple examples we demonstrate that this construction preserves topological invariance -- thus implying the existence of HOMFLY extension of cabled Jones polynomials for virtual knots and links.

A non-strictly competitive, non-cooperative game model is presented here for two qubit quantum computations that allows for the characterization of Nash equilibrium in these computations via the inner product of their state space. Nash equilibrium outcomes are optimal under given constraints and therefore offer a game-theoretic measure of constrained optimization of two qubit quantum computations.

description: We address the sensor network localization problem given noisy range measurements between pairs of nodes. We approach the non-convex maximum-likelihood formulation via a known simple convex relaxation. We exploit its favorable optimization properties to the full to obtain an approach that: is completely distributed, has a simple implementation at each node, and capitalizes on an optimal gradient method to attain fast convergence. We offer a parallel but also an asynchronous flavor, both with theoretical convergence guarantees and iteration complexity analysis. Experimental results establish leading performance. Our algorithms top the accuracy of a comparable state of the art method by one order of magnitude, using one order of magnitude fewer communications.

description: In the context of group field theory condensate cosmology, we clarify the extraction of cosmological variables from the microscopic quantum gravity degrees of freedom. We show that an important implication of the second quantized formalism is the dependence of cosmological variables and equations on the quantum gravitational atomic number N (number of spin network vertices/elementary simplices). We clarify the relation of the effective cosmological equations with loop quantum cosmology, understood as an effective (hydrodynamic-like) approximation of a more fundamental quantum gravity theory. By doing so, we provide a fundamental basis to the idea of lattice refinement, showing the dependence of the effective cosmological connection on N, and hence indirectly on the scale factor. Our results open a new arena for exploring effective cosmological dynamics, as this depends crucially on the new observable N, which is entirely of quantum gravitational origin.

description: We present a general prescription by which we can systematically compute exact partition functions of five-dimensional supersymmetric theories which arise in Higgs branches of the $T_N$ theory. The theories may be realized by webs of 5-branes whose dual geometries are non-toric. We have checked our method by calculating the partition functions of the theories realized in various Higgs branches of the $T_3$ theory. A particularly interesting example is the $E_8$ theory which can be obtained by Higgsing the $T_6$ theory. We explicitly compute the partition function of the $E_8$ theory and find the agreement with the field theory result as well as the enhancement of the global symmetry to $E_8$.

title: Mediation through the prism of a realist approach
Creators: name: Klevaka-Myagchilova, Snezhanna
Year: 2021

description: In einem allgemein anerkannten Kontext ist die Mediation eines Konflikts eines der liberalen Mittel zu seiner Lösung, und ein unparteiischer Mediator wiederum ist eine Anleitung zum Erreichen des Ziels der Konfliktlösung. Ein Mediator, der eine solche Rolle übernimmt, kann sich jedoch auch von seinen eigenen Interessen leiten lassen und Mediation als politisches Instrument zur Erreichung seiner Ziele einsetzen. Dies bezieht sich auf die Betrachtung der Mediation aus dem Blickwinkel eines realistischen Ansatzes. Dies war ein Versuch, die Mediation unter einem kritischen Blick zu betrachten, der in der Masterarbeit durchgeführt wird. Als Fall wird der Berg-Karabach-Konflikt zwischen Armenien und Aserbaidschan und die diesbezüglichen Vermittlungshandlungen Russlands herangezogen. Die Masterarbeit präsentiert Gründe zu der Annahme, dass Russland als Vermittler des Konflikts auch seine geostrategischen, wirtschaftlichen und sonstigen Ziele verfolgt hat. Solche Ziele wurden zur Rechtfertigung seines Willens und Wunsches, an der Vermittlung des Konflikts mitzuwirken.
description: In a generally recognized context, mediation of a conflict is one of the liberal means of achieving its resolution, and an impartial mediator, in turn, is a guide for achieving the goal of resolving the conflict. However, a mediator, assuming such a role, can also be guided by its own interests and thus use mediation as a political tool to achieve its goals. This refers to the consideration of mediation from the angle of a realist approach. This was an attempt to view mediation under a critical eye that is undertaken in the Master Thesis. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and Russia’s mediating actions in relation to it are taken as a case. The Master Thesis presents reasons to believe that Russia, as a mediator of the conflict, also pursued its geo- strategic, economic and other goals. Such goals became the justification of its will and desire to participate in the mediation of the conflict.

description: We derive frequency correlation and exit probability expressions for photons generated via spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) in nonlinear waveguides that exhibit linear scattering loss. Such loss is included within a general Hamiltonian formalism by connecting waveguide modes to reservoir modes with a phenomenological coupling Hamiltonian, the parameters of which are later related to the usual loss coefficients. In the limit of a low probability of SPDC pair production, the presence of loss requires that we write the usual lossless generated pair state as a reduced density operator, and we find that this density operator is naturally composed of two photon, one photon, and zero photon contributions. The biphoton probability density, or joint spectral intensity (JSI), associated with the two-photon contribution is determined not only by a phase matching term, but also by a loss matching term. The relative size of the loss coefficients within this term lead to three qualitatively different regimes of SPDC JSIs. If either the pump or generated photon loss is much higher than the other, the side lobes of the phase matching squared sinc function are washed out. On the other hand, if pump and generated photon loss are appropriately balanced, the lossy JSI is identical to the lossless JSI. Finally, if the generated photon loss is frequency dependent, the shape of the JSI can be altered more severely, potentially leading to generated photons that are less frequency correlated though also produced less efficiently when compared to photons generated in low-loss waveguides.

description: Mechanical stresses and strains in the microstructure of cathode materials evolving during charge/discharge cycles can reduce the long-term stability of intercalation-type alkali-metal-ion batteries. In this context, crystalline compounds exhibiting zero-strain (ZS) behavior are of particular interest. Near-ZS sodiation was experimentally measured in the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) type compound Na$_x$FeF$\mathrm{_3}$. Using a first-principles method based on density functional theory, we investigate the potential of iron-based fluoride compounds with tungsten bronze (TB) structures as ZS cathode materials. Simulations were conducted to study the intercalation of the alkali metal ions Li$\mathrm{^+}$, Na$\mathrm{^+}$, and K$\mathrm{^+}$ into the TTB and two related TB structures of the cubic perovskite (PTB) and hexagonal (HTB) types. We describe compensating local volume effects that can explain the experimentally measured low volume change of Na$_x$FeF$\mathrm{_3}$. We discuss the structural and chemical prerequisites of the host lattice for ZS insertion mechanism for alkali ions in TB structures and present a qualitative descriptor to predict the local volume change, that provides a way for faster screening and discovery of novel ZS battery materials.

description: Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) whose spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are reddened by dust either in their host galaxies or in intervening absorber galaxies are to a large degree missed by optical color selection criteria like the one used by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). To overcome this bias against red QSOs, we employ a combined optical and near-infrared color selection. In this paper, we present a spectroscopic follow-up campaign of a sample of red candidate QSOs which were selected from the SDSS and the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). The spectroscopic data and SDSS/UKIDSS photometry are supplemented by mid-infrared photometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. In our sample of 159 candidates, 154 (97%) are confirmed to be QSOs. We use a statistical algorithm to identify sightlines with plausible intervening absorption systems and identify nine such cases assuming dust in the absorber similar to Large Magellanic Cloud sightlines. We find absorption systems toward 30 QSOs, 2 of which are consistent with the best-fit absorber redshift from the statistical modeling. Furthermore, we observe a broad range in SED properties of the QSOs as probed by the rest-frame 2 μm flux. We find QSOs with a strong excess as well as QSOs with a large deficit at rest-frame 2 μm relative to a QSO template. Potential solutions to these discrepancies are discussed. Overall, our study demonstrates the high efficiency of the optical/near-infrared selection of red QSOs.

Applying ESA’s 4DEE framework to guide the development of ecological literacy for non-majors
Creators: name: Rodgers, Vikki
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2023

description: The Four-Dimensional Ecological Education (4DEE) framework, endorsed by the ESA Governing Board in November 2018, is the culmination of 30 years of work by the ecology community to clearly define ecological literacy. This poster identifies the parts most important for the non-major audience, and provides specific examples of integrating multiple dimensions within the context of real‐world challenges. Here we propose three scales for incorporating 4DEE: (1) a lesson, (2) a module or project, and (3) an entire course syllabus. A lesson is designed by adding one or more practice and explicit attention to one cross-cutting theme to a topic that involves both a core ecology concept and a human-environment interaction idea. A module or project includes several practices and cross-cutting concepts that are woven into solving a real-world problem. A non-majors course syllabus addresses specific learning objectives for the key elements and all of the practices and cross-cutting ideas, as well as an appropriate subset of the core ecology and human-environment concepts.

description: We investigate the trade-off between information gain and disturbance for a class of weak von Neumann measurements on spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles, and derive the unusual measurement pointer state that saturates this trade-off. We then consider the fundamental question of sharing the non-locality of a single particle of an entangled pair among multiple observers, and demonstrate that by exploiting the information gain disturbance trade-off, one can obtain an arbitrarily long sequence of consecutive and independent violations of the CHSH-Bell inequality.

Indicateur multimétrique

description: La mise en œuvre de la Directive Cadre Stratégie Milieu Marin prévoit, dans le cadre de la thématique « Poissons et Céphalopodes », de développer des indicateurs en vue de l’évaluation du Bon Etat Ecologique (BEE) prévue en 2022. Un indicateur doit notamment être développé pour renseigner le descripteur D1 (Biodiversité) sur le groupe des poissons démersaux des milieux meubles côtiers. Des séries historiques de données sont disponibles pour ces milieux, notamment dans le golfe de Gascogne. Ces données ont été utilisées pour mettre au point un indicateur côtier, après avoir vérifié que la stratégie d’échantillonnage était suffisamment robuste et standardisée pour ne pas introduire de biais. La méthodologie développée pour construire l’indicateur s’est rapprochée de celle mise en place pour calculer l’indicateur poisson utilisé dans le cadre de la Directive Cadre sur l’Eau en zone estuarienne (indicateur ELFI). Ceci a été possible grâce à la similarité des protocoles d’échantillonnage en zone côtière et en zone estuarienne. Ce rapport présente donc, dans un premier temps, les résultats des tests pour vérifier l’absence de biais lié aux modifications (date d’échantillonnage, marée, …) du protocole d’échantillonnage sur la série historique 2000 – 2020. Ensuite, l’indicateur ELFI a été calculé (sans modification) sur les données disponibles en zone côtière afin d’évaluer l’applicabilité de cet indicateur sur cette zone dont les communautés ichtyologiques sont proches de celles présentes en zone estuarienne. Néanmoins certaines métriques poissons utilisées pour l’ELFI se révélant peu adaptées aux communautés côtières (densité des espèces diadromes, peu présentes en zone côtière), de nouvelles métriques et de nouveaux seuils ont été ensuite définis pour construire un nouvel indicateur côtier (ELFI-C). Une comparaison entre l’évaluation du BEE avec ce nouvel indicateur et avec l’ELFI a ensuite été effectuée.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht anhand von Hegels, Marx' und Foucaults Gedanken zu dem Zusammenhang von Staat, Eigentum und Kapital den vor allem in linken Kreisen populären Verfassungsidealismus einer Kritik zu unterziehen. Entgegen der weitverbreiteten Ansicht, wonach der moderne Staat mit seinen verfassungsmäßig garantierten Grundsätzen Freiheit und Gleichheit den Gamechanger schlechthin für die Etablierung sozialer Gerechtigkeit darstellt, soll die These stark gemacht werden, dass selbiger gerade wegen seiner auf Freiheit und Gleichheit beruhenden Rechts- und Verfassungsordnung ursächlich verantwortlich für besagte Ungerechtigkeiten ist. Ausgehend von Hegels Vorstellung des Staates als Inkarnation der Vernunft und seiner Interpretation der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft als „System allseitiger Abhängigkeiten“ macht Marx' Kapitalanalyse deutlich, dass die ungleiche Eigentumsordnung seitens des staatlichen Gewaltmonopols nicht bekämpft, sondern überhaupt erst ermöglicht wird. Die Freiheit des Privateigentums ist demnach nicht mit der freien Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit zu verwechseln, sondern erzeugt aufgrund ihrer Exklusivität ein ökonomisches Zwangsverhältnis, das die Besitzer*innen der Arbeitskraft von den sachlichen Voraussetzungen ihrer Betätigung trennt. Der vielzitierte Gleichheitsgrundsatz hat schließlich durch die Gleichbehandlung von ökonomisch Ungleichen die Verewigung dieser Ungleichheit und damit die Installierung eines Klassenstaates zur Folge. Aus der Perspektive Foucaults bedarf das damit verbundene Kapitalverhältnis nicht nur der Disziplinierung der Arbeitnehmer*innen, sondern auch der Etablierung eines Sozialstaates, da die bürgerliche Konkurrenzgesellschaft andernfalls an ihren eigenen Prinzipien zugrunde zu gehen droht.

description: In this work, we systematically calculate transition magnetic moments, radiative decay widths, and axial-vector coupling constants of octet hidden-charm molecular pentaquark states with different flavor representations in constituent quark model. We discuss the relations between transition magnetic moments and decay widths for pentaquark states. For octet pentaquark states with the $8_{1f}$ and $8_{2f}$ flavor representations, decay widths of the processes $P_ψ|\frac{3}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes1^-)}\to P_ψ|\frac{1}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes0^-)}γ$ and $P_ψ|\frac{1}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes1^-)}\to P_ψ|\frac{1}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes0^-)}γ$ are quite close, decay widths of the $P_ψ|\frac{3}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes1^-)}\to P_ψ|\frac{1}{2}^-\rangle_{(\frac{1}{2}^+\otimes1^-)}γ$ process are close to zero, and we notice that the axial-vector coupling constants of the pentaquark states are generally smaller than that of the nucleon.
