description: This paper studies how rural-urban migration in China affects the vertical disintegration of firms. We construct a theoretical model and find that the inflow of rural migrants increases the output of firms in urban areas. This leads to a higher degree of vertical disintegration of firms due to the decreasing returns to scale. We also find that the wage of skilled workers relative to that of unskilled workers in urban areas is increased with rural migrants as the vast majority of rural migrants are unskilled. Our empirical findings are consistent with our model predictions using China’s population census and manufacturing firm-level data in 2005.

description: Ο αθλητισμός, έχει ευρέως αναγνωριστεί ως κοινωνικό εργαλείο για την ενθάρρυνση της διαπολιτισμικής επαφής και την προώθηση του διαπολιτισμικού διαλόγου στις σύγχρονες πολυπολιτισμικές κοινωνίες. Ωστόσο, το αθλητικό πλαίσιο μπορεί να οξύνει τις εθνοτικές συγκρούσεις και να προκαλέσεις εντάσεις αναδεικνύονται τις εθνικές και πολιτισμικές διαφορές. Ως εκ τούτου, ο τρόπος με τον οποίο διαμορφώνεται το αθλητικό περιβάλλον μπορεί να επηρεάσει σημαντικά το αποτέλεσμα της διαπολιτισμικής επαφής.  Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να συζητήσει το ρόλο του αθλητισμού και του αθλητικού περιβάλλοντος όπως αυτό διαμορφώνεται από τους προπονητές, στη διαδικασία του επιπολιτισμού, μέσω της οποίας τα άτομα ή οι ομάδες διαφορετικών πολιτισμών αλληλεπιδρούν ενεργά και ανταλλάσσουν πρακτικές, αξίες και τρόπους σκέψης. Για το σκοπό αυτό, αρχικά θα παρουσιαστούν σημαντικές θεωρίες στο πεδίο του επιπολιτισμού, ενώ θα συζητηθεί, με βάση την υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία, ο ρόλος του αθλητισμού τόσο στη διατήρηση της ταυτότητας των ατόμων από διαφορετικό εθνικό και πολιτισμικό υπόβαθρο όσο και στην αλληλεπίδρασή τους με την κοινωνία υποδοχής.  Στη συνέχεια θα παρουσιαστεί μια σύντομη επισκόπηση διαφόρων ερευνών που διερεύνησαν τη σχέση μεταξύ διαφόρων παραγόντων του αθλητικού περιβάλλοντος και των προτιμήσεων επιπολιτισμού τόσο των εισερχόμενων πληθυσμών όσο και των γηγενών. Τέλος, θα συζητηθούν μελλοντικές κατευθύνσεις έρευνας που θα μπορούσαν να προσφέρουν πολύτιμες πληροφορίες για  την καλύτερη αξιοποίηση του αθλητισμού στην προώθηση της ενσωμάτωσης και της πολυπολιτισμικότητας.

description: As Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies evolve at an unprecedented rate, global governance approaches struggle to keep pace with the technology, highlighting a critical issue in the governance adaptation of significant challenges. Depicting the nuances of nascent and diverse governance approaches based on risks, rules, outcomes, principles, or a mix across different regions around the globe is fundamental to discern discrepancies and convergences and to shed light on specific limitations that need to be addressed, thereby facilitating the safe and trustworthy adoption of GenAI. In response to the need and the evolving nature of GenAI, this paper seeks to provide a collective view of different governance approaches around the world. Our research introduces a Harmonized GenAI Framework, "H-GenAIGF," based on the current governance approaches of six regions: European Union (EU), United States (US), China (CN), Canada (CA), United Kingdom (UK), and Singapore (SG). We have identified four constituents, fifteen processes, twenty-five sub-processes, and nine principles that aid the governance of GenAI, thus providing a comprehensive perspective on the current state of GenAI governance. In addition, we present a comparative analysis to facilitate the identification of common ground and distinctions based on the coverage of the processes by each region. The results show that risk-based approaches allow for better coverage of the processes, followed by mixed approaches. Other approaches lag behind, covering less than 50% of the processes. Most prominently, the analysis demonstrates that among the regions, only one process aligns across all approaches, highlighting the lack of consistent and executable provisions. Moreover, our case study on ChatGPT reveals process coverage deficiency, showing that harmonization of approaches is necessary to find alignment for GenAI governance.

description: Benchmarks are essential in the design of modern HPC installations, as they define key aspects of system components. Beyond synthetic workloads, it is crucial to include real applications that represent user requirements into benchmark suites, to guarantee high usability and widespread adoption of a new system. Given the significant investments in leadership-class supercomputers of the exascale era, this is even more important and necessitates alignment with a vision of Open Science and reproducibility. In this work, we present the JUPITER Benchmark Suite, which incorporates 16 applications from various domains. It was designed for and used in the procurement of JUPITER, the first European exascale supercomputer. We identify requirements and challenges and outline the project and software infrastructure setup. We provide descriptions and scalability studies of selected applications and a set of key takeaways. The JUPITER Benchmark Suite is released as open source software with this work at https://github.com/FZJ-JSC/jubench.

Για την υλοποίηση της συγκεκριμένης μελέτης, ζητήθηκε από 300 μαθητές/τριες (142 αγόρια και 158 κορίτσια) της Στ΄ τάξης, που φοιτούσαν σε δημοτικά σχολεία της κεντρικής Ελλάδας, να συμπληρώσουν ένα σταθμισμένο τεστ μαθηματικής ικανότητας, το «Προφίλ Φυσικής Δραστηριότητας των Νέων», καθώς και ερωτήσεις δημογραφικού περιεχομένου. Η ανάλυση αξιοπιστίας α του Cronbach έδειξε χαμηλούς ως αποδεκτούς δείκτες εσωτερικής συνοχής για τις κλίμακες «Προφίλ Φυσικής Δραστηριότητας των Νέων» (α = .43 έως .67) και «Τεστ Μαθηματικής Ικανότητας» (α = .78), αντίστοιχα. Η ανάλυση συσχέτισης έδειξε ότι η ΦΔ εκτός σχολείου σχετιζόταν θετικά με τη μαθηματική ικανότητα, ενώ αντίθετα οι καθιστικές συνήθειες των συμμετεχόντων σχετιζόταν αρνητικά με τη μαθηματική τους ικανότητα. Επιπλέον, βρέθηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στη μαθηματική ικανότητα και τη ΦΔ εκτός σχολείου λόγω φύλου, αθλητικής συμμετοχής, μορφωτικού επιπέδου γονέων, και οικονομικής κατάστασης της οικογενείας. Τέλος, στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές βρέθηκαν επίσης, στη μαθηματική ικανότητα των συμμετεχόντων λόγω φύλου, της αντίληψής τους για τη χρησιμότητα των μαθηματικών στην καθημερινή ζωή, και του ενδιαφέροντος τους για τα μαθηματικά. Εν κατακλείδι, από τα αποτελέσματα προέκυψε ότι τα παιδιά που συμμετείχαν σε εξωσχολικές αθλητικές δραστηριότητες παρουσίασαν καλύτερη επίδοση στο τεστ μαθηματικών.

title: Wiener Originale der Zwischenkriegszeit
Creators: name: Kraus, Friederike
Year: 2008

description: Originale stehen am Rand der Gesellschaft, deren Spielregeln sie nicht immer einhalten. In dieser Arbeit werden anhand von Wiener Beispielen aus der Ersten Republik Spezifika dieses Menschentypus und seine gesellschaftliche Funktion beleuchtet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Gräfin Triangi, der „Goldfüllfederkönig“ Winkler und der Baron-Karl. Das Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit war geprägt von politischen Konflikten und einer schwierigen wirtschaftlichten Lage. Trotzdem – oder gerade deshalb – wurde Unterhaltung gesucht. Rahmenbedingungen werden in der Arbeit skizziert, bevor anhand von Quellenmaterial und Zeitzeugeninterviews die Biografien dieser „Originale“ und die Rezeption ihrer Aktivitäten beschrieben werden. Die Gräfin Triangi, geboren 1868, war berühmt für ihre skurrilen, leicht anzüglichen Gesangsvorstellungen auf verschiedenen Wiener (Klein-)Bühnen sowie für ihre Auftritte vor Gericht bei zahlreichen Prozessen, in die sie vor allem wegen Ehrbeleidigung und Rufschädigung involviert war. Bei einem dieser Prozesse traf sie auf den „Goldfüllfederkönig“ Ernst Winkler, geb. 1886, der sich selbst, teils aus Geltungssucht, teils zur „Reklame“ für seine Geschäfte an ersten Wiener Adressen immer wieder in die Zeitungen brachte. Beide Personen waren über die Grenzen Wiens hinaus bekannt. Regionalere Bedeutung hatte Karl Baron, geb. 1882, der auf den Straßen Favoritens, des 10. Wiener Gemeindebezirks, lebte, und von der Bevölkerung, vor allem den Kindern, für seine sanfte und liebenswürdige Art geschätzt wurde. An diesen Personen konnte exemplarisch gezeigt werden: Originale stehen durch ihren Individualismus zwar in Opposition zur Gesellschaft, sie können aus dieser Position heraus aber auch eine Funktion erfüllen: Sie unterhalten, und sie halten, in der Tradition der Hofnarren, ihrem Umfeld einen Spiegel vor.

description: We report a systematic comparison of niobium nitride thin films deposited on oxidized silicon substrates by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS). After determining the nitrogen gas concentration that produces the highest superconducting critical temperature for each process, we characterize the dependence of the critical temperature on film thickness. The optimal nitrogen concentration is higher for HiPIMS than for DC sputtering, and HiPIMS produces higher critical temperatures for all thicknesses studied. We attribute this to the HiPIMS process enabling the films to get closer to optimal stoichiometry before beginning to form a hexagonal crystal phase that reduces the critical temperature, along with the extra kinetic energy in the HiPIMS process improving crystallinity. We also study the ability to increase the critical temperature of the HiPIMS films through the use of an aluminum nitride buffer layer and substrate heating.

description: We calculate the energy spectrum of the S-wave doubly heavy tetraquark systems, including the $ QQ^{(\prime)}\bar q\bar q$, $QQ^{(\prime)}\bar s\bar q$, and $ QQ^{(\prime)}\bar s\bar s$ ($Q^{(\prime)}=b,c$ and $q=u,d$) systems within the constituent quark model. We use the complex scaling method to obtain bound states and resonant states simultaneously, and the Gaussian expansion method to solve the complex-scaled four-body Schrödinger equation. With a novel definition of the root-mean-square radii, we are able to distinguish between meson molecules and compact tetraquark states. The compact tetraquarks are further classified into three different types with distinct spatial configurations: compact even tetraquarks, compact diquark-antidiquark tetraquarks and compact diquark-centered tetraquarks. In the $ I(J^P)=0(1^+) $ $QQ\bar q\bar q$ system, there exists the $ D^*D $ molecular bound state with a binding energy of $ -14 $ MeV, which is the candidate for $ T_{cc}(3875)^+ $. The shallow $\bar B^*\bar B$ molecular bound state is the bottom analog of $T_{cc}(3875)^+$. Moreover, we identify two resonant states near the $D^*D^*$ and $\bar B^*\bar B^*$ thresholds. In the $ J^P=1^+ $ $bb\bar q\bar q\,(I=0)$ and $bb\bar s\bar q$ systems, we obtain deeply bound states with a compact diquark-centered tetraquark configuration and a dominant $χ_{\bar 3_c\otimes 3_c}$ component, along with resonant states with similar configurations as their radial excitations. These states are the QCD analog of the helium atom. We also obtain some other bound states and resonant states with ``QCD hydrogen molecule" configurations. Moreover, we investigate the heavy quark mass dependence of the $ I(J^P)=0(1^+) $ $ QQ\bar q\bar q $ bound states. We strongly urge the experimental search for the predicted states.

description: Motivated by the drawbacks of cloud-based federated learning (FL), cooperative federated edge learning (CFEL) has been proposed to improve efficiency for FL over mobile edge networks, where multiple edge servers collaboratively coordinate the distributed model training across a large number of edge devices. However, CFEL faces critical challenges arising from dynamic and heterogeneous device properties, which slow down the convergence and increase resource consumption. This paper proposes a heterogeneity-aware CFEL scheme called \textit{Heterogeneity-Aware Cooperative Edge-based Federated Averaging} (HCEF) that aims to maximize the model accuracy while minimizing the training time and energy consumption via adaptive computation and communication compression in CFEL. By theoretically analyzing how local update frequency and gradient compression affect the convergence error bound in CFEL, we develop an efficient online control algorithm for HCEF to dynamically determine local update frequencies and compression ratios for heterogeneous devices. Experimental results show that compared with prior schemes, the proposed HCEF scheme can maintain higher model accuracy while reducing training latency and improving energy efficiency simultaneously.

description: Chiral anomalies resulting from the breaking of classical symmetries at the quantum level are fundamental to quantum field theory and gaining ever-growing importance in the description of topological materials in condensed matter physics. Here we present analytical solutions of the Dirac equation for massless 3+1 fermions confined to an infinite stripe and placed into a background gauge field forming a triangular potential well across the width of the stripe. Such an effective 1+1 system hosts zero-energy modes resulting in the gauge field-dependent chiral anomaly structure. This problem has a direct relation to a half-bearded graphene nanoribbon placed into an in-plane external electric field and offers it an exact solution in terms of new special functions that are similar but not reducible to Airy functions.

description: We discuss how to extract numerically the expected lowest quasi-normal mode (QNM) associated with the pressure anisotropy for a Bjorken flux evolution to equilibrium. This QNM was easily decoded subtracting the hydrodynamical attractors and was compared with other authors calculations. After evolutions with transients close to the expected lowest QNM the system goes to a tail (pure imaginary frequency) for late times. We analyze the relevance of Navier-Stokes, second order and Borel attractors at each stage of the evolution, which begins far-from-equilibrium and ends close to equilibrium.

description: Multitask learning is a widely used paradigm for training models on diverse tasks, with applications ranging from graph neural networks to language model fine-tuning. Since tasks may interfere with each other, a key notion for modeling their relationships is task affinity. This includes pairwise task affinity, computed among pairs of tasks, and higher-order affinity, computed among subsets of tasks. Naively computing either of them requires repeatedly training on data from various task combinations, which is computationally intensive. We present a new algorithm Grad-TAG that can estimate task affinities without this repeated training.
 The key idea of Grad-TAG is to train a "base" model for all tasks and then use a linearization technique to estimate the loss of the model for a specific task combination. The linearization works by computing a gradient-based approximation of the loss, using low-dimensional projections of gradients as features in a logistic regression to predict labels for the task combination. We show that the linearized model can provably approximate the loss when the gradient-based approximation is accurate, and also empirically verify that on several large models. Then, given the estimated task affinity, we design a semi-definite program for clustering similar tasks by maximizing the average density of clusters.
 We evaluate Grad-TAG's performance across seven datasets, including multi-label classification on graphs, and instruction fine-tuning of language models. Our task affinity estimates are within 2.7% distance to the true affinities while needing only 3% of FLOPs in full training. On our largest graph with 21M edges and 500 labeling tasks, our algorithm delivers estimates within 5% distance to the true affinities, using only 112 GPU hours. Our results show that Grad-TAG achieves excellent performance and runtime tradeoffs compared to existing approaches.

description: The sports club setting is a key context for health promotion, but it can also be associated with risky behaviours. Sports coaches play a crucial role in supporting the physical, mental and social health of sport participants but often lack the resources and support to do so. This paper proposes a guide to help coaches become health promoters by aligning their actions with the Health Promoting Sports Club model, which represents the setting-based approach applied to sports clubs. An embedded mixed-method study with a QUAL (qual) design was used, where 15 experts took part in 5 meetings and 299 coaches provided input through an online survey. Four steps were carried out: (1) defning the health-promoting sports coach and key action principles, (2) co-constructing progression stages using the settings-based approach, (3) identifying key actions for promoting health in diferent moments of coaching (i.e., before, during, and after training and competition, and outside of coaching), and (4) developing long-term intervention components.A defnition of the health-promoting sports coach was produced, and eight key action principles have been identifed, divided into three dimensions: connection with the system, adoption of a coaching philosophy, and focus on participants. Five stages of progression for integrating health promotion into coaching have been established, ranging from risk prevention to a global approach involving the entire sports system. Specifc actions for each moment of coaching (before, during, and after training and competition, and outside of coaching) have been identifed, such as monitoring the physical, mental, and social health of participants or plan the coaching session to ensure safety, inclusion, and well-being for all sports participants, staying open for last-minute changes. Finally, long-term intervention components to support the implementation of these actions in practice have been developed, based on what coaches are already doing, the skills they possess and the fve stages of progression.This paper enables the development of a guide to help sports coaches promote health by identifying concrete actions and short- and long-term interventions, whilst making links with the health promoting sports club model. It broadens the scope of coaching by incorporating health principles, while emphasising the need to adapt to the environment and context of the club. This work calls for future research to test the efectiveness and feasibility of these approaches in various sporting environments.
title: Produktionsökologische Analyse eines Bestandes der Bach-Pestwurz, Petasites hybridus (Asteraceae), in der Lunzer Seeau (NÖ)
Creators: name: Traxler, Tanja
Year: 2008

description: Inhalt der Diplomarbeit war die ökologische Charakterisierung der Seebachau am Lunzer Untersee in NÖ. Sie stellt ein vom Mensch nur wenig beeinflußtes Ökosystem dar, welches vorwiegend durch eine sehr starke Dynamik mit häufigem Wechsel von Überschwemmungen und Trockenfall mit starkem Nährstofftransport und -Umsatz geprägt wird. Zusätzlich ermöglicht auch die lokale Klimasituation durch rel. niedrige Temperaturen und hohe Niederschlagstätigkeit die Entwicklung einer überaus üppigen, bachbegleitenden Vegetation und reichen Evertebratenfauna. Unter diesen sind vor allem Schnecken und Insekten die wichtigsten Mitglieder der Fauna in der Au und in hoher Biodiversität vorhanden. Über 20 Jahre lang wurden an der Biologischen Station Lunz Landökologische Kurse abgehalten, die sich überwiegend mit diesem Ökosystem auseinander setzten. Einerseits, um eine qualitative Bestandesaufnahme von Fauna und Flora im Zusammenhang mit räumlichen und zeitlichen Verteilungsmustern zu erstellen, andererseits, um Einblick in quantitative, funktionelle Zusammenhänge von Stoff-und Energiefluss durch eine Bachau zu gewinnen. Hier bot sich vorrangig die Zönose an, welche sich von der Pestwurz Petasites hybridus ernährt und aus verschiedenen Arten von Gehäuseschnecken, Käfern und den Raupen von Plattwespenarten besteht. I Insbesondere waren dabei die produktionsökologischen Aspekte zwischen Nährstofftransport, pflanzlicher Produktion, Konsumation und Populationsdynamik der häufigen Hainschnecke, Arianta arbustorum, von zentralem Interesse, zumal sich die Fraßtätigkeit an den Blättern gut ermitteln lässt und auch über einige Monate hindurch als bedeutende Leistung eines phytophagen Konsumenten feststellbar ist. So z.B. verzehrt die Schneckenpopulation in der Au vom Frühjahr bis zum Sommer 5 % der Blattmasse von Petasites und bis zum Herbst 11 %. Um zu solchen Daten zu gelangen, mussten nicht nur zahlreiche Wägungen von Frisch- und Trockengewichten sondern auch zeitaufwändige Planimetrierungen der Fraßstellen zwischen Sommer und Herbst durchgeführt werden. Zusätzlich erfolgte auch die Bestimmung der zeitlichen Biomasse-Veränderung in der Schneckenpopulation unter Einbindung des Energiegehaltes, sowie des Phosphor- und Stickstofftransportes in der Pflanze selbst. I Die Diplomarbeit vernetzte dazu kritisch die Ergebnisse unterschiedlicher älterer Untersuchungen mit umfangreichen eigenen zu einer ganzheitlichen Darstellung des Nährstofftransfers zwischen Produzent und Konsument und fasste zugleich alle verstreuten Daten zum Artenbestand von Fauna und Flora der Seebachau zusammen, soweit solche als gesichert gelten konnten. Die produktionsökologischen Ergebnisse sollen später auszugsweise in einem Fachjournal veröffentlicht werden. Bilder befinden sich auf den Seiten 44 und 45.

description: Robust estimation is essential in computer vision, robotics, and navigation, aiming to minimize the impact of outlier measurements for improved accuracy. We present a fast algorithm for Geman-McClure robust estimation, FracGM, leveraging fractional programming techniques. This solver reformulates the original non-convex fractional problem to a convex dual problem and a linear equation system, iteratively solving them in an alternating optimization pattern. Compared to graduated non-convexity approaches, this strategy exhibits a faster convergence rate and better outlier rejection capability. In addition, the global optimality of the proposed solver can be guaranteed under given conditions. We demonstrate the proposed FracGM solver with Wahba's rotation problem and 3-D point-cloud registration along with relaxation pre-processing and projection post-processing. Compared to state-of-the-art algorithms, when the outlier rates increase from 20% to 80%, FracGM shows 53% and 88% lower rotation and translation increases. In real-world scenarios, FracGM achieves better results in 13 out of 18 outcomes, while having a 19.43% improvement in the computation time.

description: The rolling tachyon is a non-canonical scalar field model well motivated in string theory which naturally predicts variations of the fine-structure constant. Such variations can in principle lead to interesting observable consequences, but they can also lead to extremely tight constraints on these kinds of models. In this work we subject the rolling tachyon model evolving in a variety of potentials to current data and show that most cosmologically interesting evolutions are already strongly excluded. We find $|1+w_0| < 10^{-3}$ from cosmological data and $|1+w_0| < 10^{-9}$ from fine-structure data, leaving the rolling tachyon to either play a role almost entirely equivalent to a cosmological constant or that of a test field. We also find that in most of the allowed parameter space the field evolves very slowly, allowing its evolution to be approximated as an equivalent canonical scalar field.

description: Mobile health has the potential to revolutionize health care delivery and patient engagement. In this work, we discuss how integrating Artificial Intelligence into digital health applications-focused on supply chain, patient management, and capacity building, among other use cases-can improve the health system and public health performance. We present an Artificial Intelligence and Reinforcement Learning platform that allows the delivery of adaptive interventions whose impact can be optimized through experimentation and real-time monitoring. The system can integrate multiple data sources and digital health applications. The flexibility of this platform to connect to various mobile health applications and digital devices and send personalized recommendations based on past data and predictions can significantly improve the impact of digital tools on health system outcomes. The potential for resource-poor settings, where the impact of this approach on health outcomes could be more decisive, is discussed specifically. This framework is, however, similarly applicable to improving efficiency in health systems where scarcity is not an issue.

description: Quantum information theory explores numerous properties that surpass classical paradigms, offering novel applications and benefits. Among these properties, negative conditional von Neumann entropy (CVNE) is particularly significant in entangled quantum systems, serving as an indicator of potential advantages in various information-theoretic tasks, despite its indirect observability. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between CVNE and the violation of Bell inequalities. Our goal is to establish upper bounds on CVNE through semi-definite programming applied to entangled qubits and qutrits, utilizing selected Bell operators.
 Our findings reveal that a semi-device-independent certification of negative CVNE is achievable and could be practically beneficial. We further explore two types of robustness: robustness against detection efficiency loopholes, measured by relative violation, and robustness against white noise and imperfections in state preparation, measured by critical visibility. Additionally, we analyze parametrized families of Bell inequalities to identify optimal parameters for different robustness criteria.
 This study demonstrates that different Bell inequalities exhibit varying degrees of robustness depending on the desired properties, such as the type of noise resistance or the target level of negative CVNE. By bridging the gap between Bell inequalities and CVNE, our research enhances understanding of the quantum properties of entangled systems and offers insights for practical quantum information processing tasks.

description: With the rapid advance of high-performance computing and electronic technologies, understanding thermal conductivity in materials has become increasingly important. This study presents a novel method: the Site-projected Thermal Conductivity (SPTC) that quantitatively estimates the local (atomic) contribution to heat transport, leveraging the Green-Kubo thermal transport equations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on disordered and amorphous graphene, amorphous silicon, and grain boundaries in silicon-germanium alloys. Amorphous graphene reveals a percolation behavior for thermal transport. The results highlight the potential of our method to provide new insights into the thermal behavior of materials, offering a promising avenue for materials design and performance optimization.

title: Einfluss von Antioxidantien auf die Frataxinexpression
Creators: name: Aichinger, Corinna
Year: 2008

description: Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit war es den möglichen Einfluss von Antioxidantien und Oxidantien auf die Frataxinexpression in den humanen Neuroblastomazellen SH-SY5Y zu untersuchen. Die genaue Funktion des mitochondrialen Proteins Frataxin, dessen verminderte Expression die neurodegenerative Erkrankung Friedreich´s Ataxie verursacht, ist noch unklar. Die Erkenntnis, dass oxidativer Stress in der Pathologie von FRDA eine wichtige Rolle spielt und die Vermutung, dass Frataxin eine Wirkung als Antioxidant besitzt, war Anlass für Therapieversuche mit verschiedenen Antioxidantien. Diese zeigen jedoch nur geringe Verbesserungen der Symptome.
description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the influence of antioxidants and oxidants on the frataxin expression in human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y. The exact function of the mitochondrial protein frataxin, whose decreased expression causes the neurodegenerative disorder Friedreich’s ataxia, is still unknown. The finding that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of FRDA as well as the often proposed assumption of frataxin´s antioxidative function, therapy approaches with antioxidants have been investigated. These show a partial albeit very little improvement of the symptoms.

description: Determining the inner structure of the molecular torus around an active galactic nucleus is essential for understanding its formation mechanism. However, spatially resolving the torus is difficult because of its small size. To probe the clump conditions in the torus, we therefore perform the systematic velocity-decomposition analyses of the gaseous CO rovibrational absorption lines ($v=0\to 1,ΔJ=\pm 1$) at $λ\sim 4.67 \mathrm{μ{m}}$ observed toward four (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies using the high-resolution ($R\sim 5000\text{--}10000$) spectroscopy from the Subaru Telescope. We find that each transition has two to five distinct velocity components with different line-of-sight (LOS) velocities ($V_\mathrm{LOS}\sim -240\text{--}+100\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$) and dispersions ($σ_V\sim 15\text{--}190\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$); i.e., the components (a), (b), ..., beginning with the broadest one in each target, indicating that the tori have clumpy structures. By assuming a hydrostatic disk ($σ_V\propto R_\mathrm{rot}^{-0.5}$), we find that the tori have dynamic inner structures, with the innermost component (a) outflowing with velocity $|V_\mathrm{LOS}|\sim 160\text{--}240\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$, and the outer components (b) and (c) outflowing more slowly or infalling with $|V_\mathrm{LOS}|\lesssim 100\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$. In addition, we find that the innermost component (a) can be attributed to collisionally excited hot ($\gtrsim 530$K) and dense ($n_\mathrm{H_2}\gtrsim 10^6\mathrm{cm^{-3}}$) clumps, based on the level populations. Conversely, the outer component (b) can be attributed to cold ($\sim 30\text{--}140$K) clumps radiatively excited by a far-infrared-to-submillimeter background with a brightness temperature higher than $\sim 20\text{--}400$K. These observational results demonstrate the clumpy and dynamic structure of tori in the presence of background radiation.
