title: Der Körper als Spielort der Differenzen
Creators: name: Rauchbauer, Christina
Year: 2012

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der theoretischen und empirischen Erforschung kultureller Körperpraxis jugendlicher Mädchen in einem Theaterkurs. Die Begriffe der habituellen und spielerischen Körperpraxis werden ausführlich thematisiert. Zusätzlich werden die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten zwischen determinierten, beständigen Habitus und ästhetischen, dynamischen Agieren im Theaterspiel aufgezeigt. Hauptaugenmerk ist hierbei die ästhetische und darstellerische Auseinandersetzung der Mädchen mit ihrem Körper. Die empirische Vorgehensweise kennzeichnet sich durch den interdisziplinären Ansatz der Arbeit, welcher zwischen der Theaterpädagogik und der Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie stattfand. Die Resultate der Forschung beruhen auf einer dreimonatigen Forschung eines Theaterkurses in einem Wiener Jugendzentrum. Beobachtungen, informelle Gespräche, Videoaufzeichnungen der Körperpraxis, sowie Reflexionen der Erfahrungen im Theaterkurs galten als Datenmaterial. Die darstellende und reflexive Beschäftigung mit dem Körper zeigte normative und gesellschaftliche Handlungsspielräume der Körperpraxis junger Mädchen auf, welche in dieser Arbeit ausführlich erläutert werden.
description: The present thesis deals with theoretical and empirical research on cultural body-practice of teenage girls in the setting of a theatre-course. Terms and definitions of habitual and performative body-practice are explained in detail. Thereby possibilities and restrictions of predetermined, constant habitus and aesthetic, dynamic agency in the theatre-course are presented. The main focus of this research lies in the girls´ intensive engagement in aesthetical and performance-related aspects of their own body. The empirical approach of this work is interdisciplinary and was conducted in the area of theatre-pedagogy and cultural and social anthropology. The results of the research are based on a three month research of a theatre-course in a youth center in Vienna. Observations, informal conversations, video records of the body-practice as well as reflections upon experiences in the theater-course constitute the data of the research. The reflective and performance-based engagement with the body illustrates normative and social freedom of action concerning the body practice of teenage girls.

description: A market analysis conducted by Gartner Dataquest in August 2001 has shown the typical characteristics of the AEC design process. High volatility in membership of AEC design groups and members dispersed over several external offices is the common collaboration scenario. Membership is most times short lived, compared to the overall duration of the process. A technical solution has to take that into account by making joining and leaving a collaborative work group very easy. The modelling of roles of collaboration between group members must be based on a commonly understood principle like the publisher / subscriber model, where the individual that is responsible for the distribution of vital information is clear. Security issues and trust in the confidentiality of the system is a central concern for the acceptance of the system. Therefore, keeping the subset of data that will be published under the absolute control of the publisher is a must. This is not the case with server-based scenarios, sometimes even due to psychological reasons. A loosely bound Peer-to-Peer network offers advantages over a server-based solution, because of less administrative overhead and simple installation procedures. In a peer-to-peer environment, a publish/subscribe role model can be more easily implemented. The publish/subscribe model matches the way AEC processes are modelled in real world scenarios today, where legal proof of information exchange between external offices is of high importance. Workflow management systems for small to midsize companies of the AEC industry may adopt the peer-to-peer approach to collaboration in the future. Further investigations are being made on the research level (WINDS) by integrating the viewer and redlining application Collaborate! into a collaborative environment.

title: Die Darstellung von "Fremden" in österreichischen Schulbüchern für den Englisch-Unterricht
Creators: name: Böck, Julia
Year: 2012

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, wie ‚Fremde’, worunter in ‚westlichen’ Diskursen konstruierte außereuropäische Gruppen und kulturelle Merkmale verstanden werden, in österreichischen Schulbüchern für den Englisch-Unterricht dargestellt werden. Mit Hilfe eines auf der Basis theoretischer Erwägungen erstellten Rasters wurden die im Schuljahr 2011/12 für den Englisch-Unterricht in der 7. und 8. Schulstufe in Hauptschulen und der AHS-Unterstufe zugelassenen Text- bzw. Coursebooks analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass zwischen den einzelnen Büchern signifikante Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Art und Häufigkeit der Darstellung ‚Fremder’ existieren. Während Bemühungen erkennbar sind, vorurteilsbelastete Darstellungen und Rassismen zu vermeiden, finden sich zahlreiche Repräsentationen, die stereotype, exotisierende oder evolutionistische Vorstellungen fördern. Auch hinsichtlich der Thematisierung von Migration und der Art und Weise, in der einige Bücher Vorurteils- und Rassismuskritik zu üben versuchen, konnten große Defizite festgestellt werden. Interkulturelle Inhalte finden zu wenig Beachtung oder werden zu unreflektiert präsentiert, sodass eurozentrische Perspektiven kaum überwunden werden.

title: Ausländische Direktinvestitionen in Serbien und Kroatien in Boom und Krise
Creators: name: Karner, Stefan
Year: 2012

description: Seit der Transformation in Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa (CESEE) setzten die politischen Eliten stark auf ausländische Kapitalzuflüsse. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Rolle von ausländischen Direktinvestitionen (FDI) in den Entwicklungsmodellen Serbiens und Kroatiens untersucht. Dazu werden die FDI-Anreizstrukturen, die Art und Verteilung von FDI und makroökonomische Kennzahlen betrachtet. Zu Beginn werden aus verschiedenen Theorien zu FDI Hypothesen zur Rolle von FDI in Serbien und Kroatien abgeleitet. Analytisch wird zwischen FDI in verschiedenen Wirtschaftssektoren differenziert, wobei insbesondere FDI im Finanzsektor und in der verarbeitenden Industrie größere Beachtung finden. Weiters wird der Zusammenhang zwischen den Entwicklungsmodellen und der Weltwirtschaftskrise ab 2008 betrachtet. Die Hauptergebnisse der Arbeit weisen auf ein stark außenabhängiges Entwicklungsmodell hin, das immanent krisenanfällig ist. In Serbien und vor allem in Kroatien überwiegen FDI im Finanzwesen. Investitionen in hochtechnologisierte Industrien im verarbeitenden Sektor der Realwirtschaft sind kaum vorhanden. Eine starke Exportstruktur konnte nicht aufgebaut werden, vielmehr führte FDI zu mehr Importen und einer Verschlechterung der Leistungsbilanz. FDI im Finanzwesen förderten einen Kreditboom, der Konsum, Importe und Außenverschuldung steigerte. Diese Arbeit führt zu folgender Hypothese: Ein Finanzwesen, das in ausländischem Besitz ist, führt im Kombination mit einem schwachen produktiven Sektor zu einer langfristigen Destabilisierung und zu einem fragilen Entwicklungsmodell. Güterimporte werden durch Kapitalimporte finanziert, was in der Folge zu Außenverschuldung führt. Ein solches Entwicklungsmodell ist nicht durchhaltbar und führt in die Krise. Serbien und Kroatien haben mit ihren konsum- und importorientierten Entwicklungsmodellen, die statt durch eine große produktive realwirtschaftliche Basis durch ausländische Kredite und FDI finanziert werden, denkbar schlechte Zukunftsaussichten.

description: On-chip generation of optical frequency combs using nonlinear ring resonators has opened the route to numerous novel applications of combs that were otherwise limited to mode-locked laser systems. Nevertheless, even after more than a decade of development, on-chip nonlinear combs still predominantly rely on the use of single-ring resonators. Recent theoretical investigations have shown that generating combs in a topological array of resonators can provide a new avenue to engineer comb spectra. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the generation of such a novel class of frequency combs, topological frequency combs, in a two-dimensional (2D) lattice of hundreds of nonlinear ring resonators. Specifically, the lattice hosts topological edge states that exhibit fabrication-robust linear dispersion and spatial confinement at the boundary of the lattice. Upon optical pumping of the topological edge band, these unique properties of the edge states lead to the generation of a nested frequency comb that is spectrally confined within the edge bands across $\approx$40 longitudinal modes. Moreover, using spatial imaging of our topological lattice, we confirm that light generated in the comb teeth is indeed spatially confined at the lattice edge, characteristic of linear topological systems. Our results bring together the fields of topological photonics and optical frequency combs, providing an opportunity to explore the interplay between topology and nonlinear systems in a platform compatible with commercially available nanofabrication processes.

description: Currently, palaeontology professors have been challenged to update and incorporate innovative teaching approaches into their planning to help students develop the necessary skills and competencies. However, today there is a mismatch between the current and the ideal teaching profiles. Objective: To describe the palaeontology teaching profile in undergraduate courses in Brazil. Design: Descriptive and exploratory study. Setting and participants: Palaeontology professors (n=37) in undergraduate courses at several Brazilian higher education institutions. Data analysis collection: Data were collected through a semi-structured online form (survey), triangulated and categorised into (a) general characteristics, (b) teacher education, (c) teaching experience, (d) undergraduate courses, (e) curriculum, syllabus, and programme discussion meetings, (f) inter and multidisciplinarity, and (g) curriculum. Results: Despite the limited scope (small sample size), the study results guided the focus of the research and improvement efforts, as there are still many difficulties and challenges to be overcome to raise the quality of teaching in undergraduate palaeontology across the country. Conclusions: The data from this study can serve as a valuable basis for professors-researchers, educational managers, and policymakers interested in implementing innovative continuing education programmes and in supporting management and policy decisions regarding potential reforms of palaeontology teaching in Brazilian undergraduate courses in higher education institutions.

description:  Invasive vegetation presents significant ecological and economic challenges across various environments. Recent years have seen considerable development in agricultural automation targeting weed eradication and control. However, these developments have focused on farmland, and urban environments have received far less attention. This paper describes a proof-of-concept study on the use of a mobile cobotic platform for targeted herbicide delivery on hard surfaces. The paper introduces a rapidly prototyped system, including a cobot, a single-board computer, a camera, and an herbicide dispersal mechanism, all mounted on a mobile platform. Computer vision algorithms are employed to execute targeted herbicide delivery. Experimental validation confirms the usefulness of the platform in urban environments.

description: Morris and Thorne developed wormhole solutions in the late 1980s when they discovered a recipe that wormholes must follow for travelers to cross them safely. They describe exotic matter as satisfying $-p_{r} > ρ$, where $p_{r}$ is the radial pressure and $ρ$ is the energy density of the wormhole. This is a notable characteristic of the General Relativity Theory. The current article discusses traversable wormhole solutions in $f(R, L, T)=R+αL+βT$, with $α$ and $β$ are model parameters. The wormhole solutions presented here satisfy the metric constraints of traversability while remarkably avoiding the exotic matter condition, indicating that $f(R, L, T)$ gravity wormholes can be filled with ordinary matter. The derived solutions for the shape function of the wormhole meet the required metric conditions. They exhibit behavior that is comparable to that of wormholes reported in earlier references, which is also the case for our solutions for the energy density of such objects.

Single-image camera calibration with model-free distortion correction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Camera calibration is a process of paramount importance in computer vision applications that require accurate quantitative measurements. The popular method developed by Zhang relies on the use of a large number of images of a planar grid of fiducial points captured in multiple poses. Although flexible and easy to implement, Zhang's method has some limitations. The simultaneous optimization of the entire parameter set, including the coefficients of a predefined distortion model, may result in poor distortion correction at the image boundaries or in miscalculation of the intrinsic parameters, even with a reasonably small reprojection error. Indeed, applications involving image stitching (e.g. multi-camera systems) require accurate mapping of distortion up to the outermost regions of the image. Moreover, intrinsic parameters affect the accuracy of camera pose estimation, which is fundamental for applications such as vision servoing in robot navigation and automated assembly. This paper proposes a method for estimating the complete set of calibration parameters from a single image of a planar speckle pattern covering the entire sensor. The correspondence between image points and physical points on the calibration target is obtained using Digital Image Correlation. The effective focal length and the extrinsic parameters are calculated separately after a prior evaluation of the principal point. At the end of the procedure, a dense and uniform model-free distortion map is obtained over the entire image. Synthetic data with different noise levels were used to test the feasibility of the proposed method and to compare its metrological performance with Zhang's method. Real-world tests demonstrate the potential of the developed method to reveal aspects of the image formation that are hidden by averaging over multiple images.

description: This article examines coercive state responses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as one option among several types of state capacity that may be mobilised in times of crisis. While states respond to crises with their available capacity, strategies change over time, especially as deploying coercive capacities can be costly. We use variables from the CoronaNet Research Project, an original dataset of over 170,000 policy entries from 195 countries, including nearly 26,000 policies on Russia, to show timing and substitution effects where different types of state capacity were leveraged in different policy arenas and at different times in the pandemic.

description: Following the end-Permian mass extinction, reef ecosystems underwent an astonishing recovery and radiation in the Middle and Late Triassic which culminated in the Norian-Rhaetian reef optimum. Extensive and abundant coral-dominated Norian-Rhaetian reefs are well documented in the Tethys Ocean. In the Panthalassic Ocean, Norian-Rhaetian reefs are much smaller in number and volume. Panthalassan reefs developed on small, volcanic island shelves and back-arc ramp settings. Due to their rare occurrence, we have a limited understanding of Triassic reef development in the Panthalassic Ocean. To improve our understanding of reef evolution in the Panthalassic Ocean, a newly measured section and early Norian coral reef in the lower member of the Luning-Berlin assemblage in Garfield Hills, Nevada are described. The stratigraphic context and the reef microfacies are described. Thin sections were point counted to assess the relative abundance of reef and interstitial components and grouped into distinct reef facies using hierarchal clustering analysis. The reef is a 7.5 meter thick, coral-sponge biostrome that developed within the middle ramp of a back-arc mixed carbonate-siliciclastic ramp system. The reef framework is primarily composed of platy and branching coral framestone followed by inozoan sponge framestone. Framestones are 50-80% reef builders, and have a micritic and bioclastic mudstone/wackestone matrix. Garfield Hills reef ecology and depositional environment is most like the early Norian deep slope coral-sponge biostromes and reefs in the Pilot Mountains, Nevada and Sierra del Alamo, Sonora. Panthalassan and Tethyan Norian-Rhaetian coral reefs have several ecological differences which reinforces the need for further investigation into the ecology and stratigraphic context of Triassic Panthalassan reefs.

description: Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum were analyzed by digital image processing in a manner that immediately shows the following parameters: wave propagation velocity, period length, wave amplitude und wave shape. We have characterized the aggregation of AX-2 and the streamer F mutant NP 377 in terms of these parameters and investigated the influence of caffeine and ammonia. It was found that during normal aggregation oscillation frequency increases while at the same time wave propagation velocity decreases. Caffeine, a known inhibitor of cyclic AMP relay, reduces oscillation frequency and wave propagation velocity in a dose-dependent manner but most notably leads to the appearance of bimodal (harmonic) oscillations. These bimodal waves are also found in streamer F mutants without caffeine during early aggregation. The effect of caffeine is interpreted as an increase in the average chemotactic deadaptation time due to elevated cyclic GMP levels after a cyclic AMP stimulus. This increased deadaptation time results in some cells responding to every chemotactic signal, while others respond only to every second signal, leading to mixed population behavior and hence biphasic optical density waves. Ammonia has no significant influence on oscillation frequency and wave propagation velocity but shows a clear increase in the amplitude of the optical density waves. This may indicate a more vigorous chemotactic response by individual cells or a better synchronization of the responding cell populations due to shortened chemotactic deadaptation times.

description: The concept of self-efficacy, introduced by Bandura (1986), plays a crucial role in understanding how individuals perceive their abilities to handle challenging tasks. A strong sense of self-efficacy is associated with successful task completion, learning through observation, confidence in one's success, and reduced anxiety. Individuals with high self-efficacy tend to anticipate and achieve success, while those with low self-efficacy often doubt their abilities, leading to reduced success and lower self-esteem. This phenomenon is particularly significant in educational settings, where students' academic success is partly influenced by their self-efficacy beliefs (Chemers et al., 2001). This paper examines the impact of self-efficacy on students' academic performance, exploring the mechanisms through which self-efficacy influences learning outcomes and the implications for educational practices.

title: Shared Functional Connections Between TDP-43 and RGNEF Proteins in Disease.
Creators: name: Abbassi, Yasmine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RGNEF) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) mainly involved in regulating the activity of Rho-family GTPases. It is a bi-functional protein, acting both as a guanine exchange factor and as an RNA binding protein. RGNEF is known to act as a destabilising factor of neurofilament light chain RNA (NEFL) and it could potentially contribute to their sequestration in nuclear cytoplasmic inclusions. Most importantly, RGNEF inclusions in the spinal motor neurons of ALS patients have been shown to co-localise with inclusions of TDP-43, the major well-known RNA binding protein aggregating in the brain and spinal cord of human patients. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that loss-of-function of both proteins following aggregation may contribute to motor neuron death/survival in ALS patients. To further characterise their relationship, we have compared the transcriptomic profiles of neuronal cells depleted of TARDBP and ARHGEF28 and show that these two factors predominantly act in an antagonistic manner when regulating the expression of axon guidance genes. From a mechanistic point of view, our experiments show that the effect of these genes on the processivity of long introns can explain their mode of action. Taken together, our results show that loss-of-function of factors co-aggregating with TDP-43 can potentially affect the expression of commonly regulated neuronal genes in a very significant manner, potentially acting as disease modifiers. This finding further highlights that neurodegenerative processes at the RNA level are the result of combinatorial interactions between different RNA binding factors that can be co-aggregating in neuronal cells.

description: This research presents a novel depth estimation algorithm based on a Transformer-encoder architecture, tailored for the NYU and KITTI Depth Dataset. This research adopts a transformer model, initially renowned for its success in natural language processing, to capture intricate spatial relationships in visual data for depth estimation tasks. A significant innovation of the research is the integration of a composite loss function that combines Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) with Mean Squared Error (MSE). This combined loss function is designed to ensure the structural integrity of the predicted depth maps relative to the original images (via SSIM) while minimizing pixel-wise estimation errors (via MSE). This research approach addresses the challenges of over-smoothing often seen in MSE-based losses and enhances the model's ability to predict depth maps that are not only accurate but also maintain structural coherence with the input images. Through rigorous training and evaluation using the NYU Depth Dataset, the model demonstrates superior performance, marking a significant advancement in single-image depth estimation, particularly in complex indoor and traffic environments.

Framing the environment: a critical analysis of news media in Vietnam

description: When citizens are enabled to participate in the decisions that affect their lives, the outcomes of government policy and programmes are improved and society benefits from greater stability and increased well-being.

This thesis studies public participation in governance but is ultimately a study of power. The processes of participation in governance necessarily entail a redistribution of power from government to citizens. The study explores how state power affects public participation in Vietnam - a one-party Communist State - and applies its findings to a re-evaluation of theory as it relates to the practice of participation in the study's unique political context.

In this context, the study conducts a critical discourse analysis, comparing explicit political discourse in the official texts of legal and policy documents with implicit discourse in the news media. The primary research method - a quantitative/qualitative news discourse analysis - analyses how news reports on environmental issues frame public participation in governance.

Findings from the primary research indicate that news reports on environmental issues in Vietnam overwhelmingly characterise the public as victims while state authorities are portrayed as the dominant actors. The news allocates responsibility for addressing environmental issues solely with the State with citizens acting under the direction of state authorities.

The findings suggest a dominant news discourse that avoids the allocation of causal responsibility, portrays individual citizens and communities as victims, and places the responsibility and power to act exclusively with state actors. The dominant news discourse, which I term a 'dominance of the State' discourse, stands in sharp contrast to the political discourse explicit in the official texts of legal and policy documents, which represents a 'right to participate' discourse. While the inconsistencies between the discourses appear irreconcilable, an analysis of the socio-political context demonstrates the influence of the 'dominance of the State' discourse on the practice of participation in Vietnam.

The study concludes by proposing a model of public participation appropriate to Vietnam's unique political context. The model is prescriptive and meant to benefit practitioners by facilitating better planning, implementation, and assessment of public participation in Vietnam.

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wurden nun ausgewählte Identitätskonstruktionen auf Social Network Sites am Beispiel von Facebook aufgezeigt. So wurden zunächst Identitätstheorien nach Mead, Goffman und Keupp erörtert, um eine Einführung in die Diskussion um Identitäten zu ermöglichen. Danach wurden die wichtigsten Begriffe der erwähnten Identitätstheorien aufgegriffen und in Bezug auf Social Network Sites angewendet. Diverse Funktionen, die Facebook den Userinnen und Usern zur Selbstdarstellung bietet, wurden kritisch untersucht und anhand von Screenshots dargestellt. Da das Hauptaugenmerk auf der Darstellung des Einzelnen auf Profilbildern und Fotos auf Facebook lag, wurden von Usern eigens hochgeladene Fotos unter gewissen Kriterien untersucht und in die Analyse eingebunden. Dazu wurden lediglich Fotos von Usern verwendet, die ihre Fotos und Profilbilder zu besagtem Zeitpunkt für die gesamte Facebook-Community sichtbar und öffentlich zugänglich gemacht haben. Sprich: Sämtliche Fotos, die in der vorliegenden Arbeit vorangestellt wurden, waren zum angegebenen Zeitpunkt für alle Facebook-Mitglieder zur Ansicht verfügbar. Die Namen der User wurden nicht vollständig angegeben und Gesichter wurden mit Gesichtsbalken unkenntlich gemacht. Sollte letztlich dennoch eine Urheberrechtsverletzung bekannt werden, wird um Meldung bei der Verfasserin ersucht.

description: Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is a class of light – absorbing secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Previous studies have identified BrC compounds and measured the absorption of atmospheric BrC, but little is understood about the hygroscopic properties. Further, the effect of changing reactant composition and concentration, reaction time, and the effect photolysis on the hygroscopic properties and particle absorption have not been explored in detail. To better understand cloud formation properties of BrC SOA, aerosols are generated from reactions of methylglyoxal (MeGX) with two atmospherically relevant compounds: glycine (Gly) and ammonium sulfate (AS). Nonreactive mixtures of MeGX and sodium chloride (NaCl) are studied as a control. Water uptake studies, product composition and absorbance measurements are conducted using a humidified tandem differential mobility analyzer (HTDMA), ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (UPLC-HRMS) and ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectrophotometer, respectively. Reactant concentrations range from mole ratios of 1:10 to 200:1 MeGX:"other" for 3, 35 and 76 days of reaction time. The water uptake of MeGX:AS mixtures is similar to non-reacting MeGX:NaCl mixtures with the persistence of an observed deliquescence with ratios of 175:1. The water uptake of MeGX:Gly mixtures is dependent on reactant concentration and reaction time and can be linked to changes in the identified reaction products. Photolyzed samples of BrC SOA mixtures show increasing absorbance, decreasing hygroscopicity, and loss of reaction products. Improved understanding of these processes allows climate modelers to reduce uncertainties in predictions of cloud formation and persistence in the atmosphere.

description: Battery technology is increasingly important for global electrification efforts. However, batteries are highly sensitive to small manufacturing variations that can induce reliability or safety issues. An important technology for battery quality control is computed tomography (CT) scanning, which is widely used for non-destructive 3D inspection across a variety of clinical and industrial applications. Historically, however, the utility of CT scanning for high-volume manufacturing has been limited by its low throughput as well as the difficulty of handling its large file sizes. In this work, we present a dataset of over one thousand CT scans of as-produced commercially available batteries. The dataset spans various chemistries (lithium-ion and sodium-ion) as well as various battery form factors (cylindrical, pouch, and prismatic). We evaluate seven different battery types in total. The manufacturing variability and the presence of battery defects can be observed via this dataset. This dataset may be of interest to scientists and engineers working on battery technology, computer vision, or both.
