description: Wie viel Recht in Good Governance und seinen Verwendungen steckt, ist aus der Sicht des Entwicklungs- (verwaltungs-) rechts eine durchaus nahe liegende Frage. Good Governance dient heute als Maßstab für die Qualität der Regierungsführung eines Staates und als Standard, zu dessen Wahrung sich Staaten im Zuge der Enwicklunsgzusammenarbeit verpflichten. Die Verwendung von Good Governance ist zunächst eine politische Praxis und keine Rechtsanwendung, auch wenn der normative Standard mit einer Vielzahl von Regelungen des Völkerrechts und der Rechtsordnungen der Geber- wie der Empfängerstaaten übereinstimmt. Dass die Verwendung von Good Governance jedoch keineswegs in einem rechtsfreien Raum erfolgt, sondern dass sich vielmehr aus allgemeinen Regelungen des Völkerrechts und dem Statutenrecht der Verwender Maßstäbe zur Bewertung seiner Rechtmäßigkeit ergeben, zeigt dieser Beitrag. Er wirft außerdem die Frage auf, inwieweit die rechtlich eingebettete Praxis der verschiedenen Verwendungen von Good Governance zur Verrechtlichung eines Teilbereichs der internationalen Beziehungen beitragen können.
description: The paper assesses the juridical relevance of Good Governace from the perspective of international adminstrative law. Good Governance serves as a normative standard for the evaluation of governance exercised by governments and administrations. The concept is also used for a benchmark that states oblige themselves to measure up to in international development agreements. The use of Good Governance is essentially a political practice and not the execution of law, even though it conforms with various regulations of international law and the national law of donor and recipient states. However, Good Governance never comes to use within an extralegal sphere. As the paper shows, standards to evaluate its lawfulness derive from general international law and from the user state’s national law alike. Moreover, the paper reflects in how far the legally embedded practice of using Good Governance in international development corporation policy adds to the assumed „juridification“ of international relations.
Pulsar bow-shock nebulae. II. Hydrodynamical simulation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present hydrodynamical simulations, using a 2-D two component model (ambient medium and pul sar wind have different specific heat ratios), of bow shocks in a representative regime for pu lsar wind driven bow-shock nebulae. We also investigate the behaviour of a passive toroidal ma gnetic field wound around the pulsar velocity direction. Moreover we estimate the opacity of t he bow-shock to penetration of ISM neutral hydrogen: this quantity affects observable properti es of the nebula, like its size, shape, velocity and surface brightness distribution. Finally we compare these numerical results with those from an analytical model. The development of mor e realistic models is needed in order to tune the criteria for searches of new such objects, a s well as to interpret data on the known objects.

description: The consistent recursive subtraction of UV divergences order by order in the loop expansion for spontaneously broken effective field theories with dimension-6 derivative operators is presented for an Abelian gauge group. We solve the Slavnov-Taylor identity to all orders in the loop expansion by homotopy techniques and a suitable choice of invariant field coordinates (named bleached variables) for the linearly realized gauge group. This allows one to disentangle the gauge-invariant contributions to off-shell 1-PI amplitudes from those associated with the gauge-fixing and (generalized) non-polynomial field redefinitions (that do appear already at one loop). The tools presented can be easily generalized to the non-Abelian case.

description: This thesis examined exploitation of cell death to combat cancer from two angles: investigating cell death signalling pathways to find new targets for treatment, and using the novel anti-austerity approach to combat the tolerance of cancer cells to nutrient deprivation. Cancers often display high levels of genetic diversity, even within cancers of a particular organ. These genetic differences often make treatments which work with a particular cancer ineffective on another - even from the same origin, and lead to differences in outcomes to selective pressures such as nutrient deprivation. Current treatments are aimed at killing rapidly proliferating cells and often have severe side effects. Their efficacy is highly dependent on early diagnosis and many cancers are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs. In addition, cancer cells on the inside of tumours have the ability to survive under adverse conditions such as nutrient deprivation due to intermittent blood supply, Therefore, alternative treatment strategies must be explored. Defects in cell death play a large contributing factor to cancer progression and tumour growth and the evasion of cell death by cancers presents a major problem in its treatment Conventional cancer treatment relies on the activation of cell death in fast growing cancer cells while attempting to leave normal cells undamaged. Therefore, selective triggering of cell death in a cancer cell would be extremely useful. In order to achieve this goal a thorough understanding of the cell death response of a particular cell type to a particular stimulus must be known. Moreover, any novel or unusual cell death signalling pathways would provide more opportunities and targets for attempting to trigger selective cell death in cancers.
Is the photon-blockade breakdown a quantum effect? A neoclassical story

description: The photon-blockade breakdown bistability can be intuitively explained invoking the energy spectrum of the interacting qubit-mode system. Yet, the neoclassical solution of the driven-dissipative Jaynes-Cummings model has been shown to capture several key aspects of the phenomenon. In this paper, we set out to compare a fully quantum solution with the neo- and semi-classical solutions. Although the neoclassical theory is founded on the assumption of a pure partial state for the qubit, it is not simply the $γ\to 0$ limit of the semiclassical theory; the semi- vs. neo-classical duality being a case of non-commutativity of limits. Furthermore, we show that the neoclassical predictions still hold in case of a small qubit decay. Tracing the bistable behavior for different detunings, we show that it is robust over a significant range of $Δ$ values. We demonstrate that the aptitude of the neoclassical description is founded on the high quantum purity of the bright state of the photon-blockade breakdown bistability, which sharply differentiates this phenomenology from conventional optical bistability. It is thereby demonstrated that driven-dissipative dynamics can produce closely separable pure steady states in an interacting bipartite.

description: We investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the global oscillation modes of a rotating fluid star in the magnetohydrodynamic approximation. We present general equations for the modification of any type of fluid mode due to a general magnetic field which is not aligned with the star's spin axis. In the case of any internal dipole magnetic field we derive the equations for the frequency corrections to the r-modes. We solve for the frequency correction explicitly for the case when the internal dipole field is force-free, including the uniform density case. In the weak-field limit, the spatial form of the r-mode velocity perturbation is unchanged, but the magnitude of the frequency in the rotating frame increases.

 Urometopus malyi Obenberger, 1914: 141.
 Taxonomy. Another species, Urometopus malyi Obenberger, 1914 from Uzbekistan, included in this genus also by LONA (1938) was overlooked by BOROVEC (2006). Its inaccurate description (OBENBERGER 1914: 141) does not allow to assign this weevil to any of the genera of Omiini keyed by BOROVEC (2006). The ligulate aedeagus depicted by OBENBERGER (1914: 142) is completely dissimilar from that of members of Omias Germar, 1817; only some species of this genus in Omiini have dark integument and vestiture somewhat like those described by OBENBERGER (1914). According to Josef Jelínek (pers. comm.), the type of U. malyi was missing in the Obenberger collection housed in the NMPC, but Borovec (pers. comm.) was able to find it elsewhere in the collection of the National Museum, Prague, two males; the first labeled: ‘ Jangi Kuduk Buchara c. Malý legit (printed) / Asia centr. Coll. Obenberger (printed) / Urometopus Malýi m. Typus (handwritten) Det. Obenberger (printed)’, and the second: ‘Malýi m. Typus (handwritten) Det. Obenberger (printed)’. Below one of the specimens there is an additional label ‘ Otiorhynchus ? christophi Fst. / Ing. J. Fremuth det. 1998’; therefore, according to the above notes by Borovec, Urometopus malyi should be moved to Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 as Otiorhynchus malyi (Obenberger, 1914), comb. nov. Its systematic position will be discussed in a forthcoming paper (R. Borovec, pers. comm).

Subjects: subject: Instagram

description: Since 2010, Instagram has grown to become one of the world’s most popular social media applications. Its popularity has shaped and affected the practices of many industries and institutions. An institution notably influenced by the expansion of Instagram use is art galleries. For art galleries, it is an important device for community engagement, education, promotion, interaction, participation, and the enhancing of the visitor experience. For gallery visitors, Instagram offers a social photography tool that may align with their experience objectives. There is limited research about the use of Instagram by galleries. Knowledge of gallery visitor Instagram use and the role it plays in their experience is also limited. This research focuses on a study into the use of Instagram by visitors to the Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (14 October 2017 – 4 February 2018). To examine how visitors experienced art through the lens of Instagram, I drew upon interviews conducted with 17 visitors and four Gallery staff. In addition, ethnographic (visual)-grounded theory fieldwork was conducted during the exhibition. 550 exhibition images were observed through Instagram and analysed in a grounded theory framework, informing the research findings. In this thesis, I explain how and why Instagram is used by art galleries and their visitors. Also, the impact that Instagram practices has on visitors and the gallery is examined. This research project was informed by theories of aesthetic experience, sharing, and space. The research findings revealed that the use of Instagram at the gallery engaged visitors in a manner that transcended the physical space and extended/evolved their aesthetic experience. It highlighted contemporary ways to experience art using technology and new ways to think about art appreciation. Further, the research revealed how sharing, sociality, and the social pedagogy of the gallery are impacted by Instagram use. This is particularly evident in the ways galleries and their visitors used Instagram to promote, raise awareness, and influence others to the experience of art. Recommendations are offered on how the knowledge presented in this thesis may impact upon the future practices of art galleries. The findings are significant for visitors, art galleries, and arts educators seeking to critically understand Instagram use and the opportunities for engagement.
Making Mistakes: Error as Emergent Property in Craft Practice

Subjects: Design

description: This thesis reframes error as a collaborator to develop form in analog and digital craft practices. When evaluating David Pye’s Maker Theory regarding the Workmanship of Risk and Certainty, makers and designers can have a very specific perspective of the role of digital technology in craft. With the use of Computer Numerically Controlled machining becoming more prevalent in today’s creative fields, it is important to understand the relationship that designers have with the tools they are using to produce their objects. When utilizing computational technology, a designer can create conditions for emergent properties to occur through error, which ultimately lead to developing a mindset that views the potential in giving agency to the machine. This evaluation of error is set against the trajectory in which design and technology are situated – a future that aims to eliminate failure or imperfection through technology, as well as a concentration on increasing levels of accuracy.

This framework of utilizing error as a collaborator can be a potential way to accelerate the discovery and exploratory process of a design. The projects conducted in this thesis establish several key findings about error and its creative capability. First, in order to be aware of the potential that mistakes can bring, one must adopt a mindset to not prematurely judge error as something negative. Next, there will be an aspect of vulnerability and letting go of control that many designers have a difficult time doing. Additionally, it is important to differentiate from the “happy accident” — projects conducted in this framework are an intentional effort to cause an error in order to see what unpredictable things might happen. Finally, in the realm of digital craft, the machine must be given agency or have its “personality” shine through error. The result of this collaboration between the designer and the machine is a record of the interaction that occurred.

description: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a relatively prevalent disorder that carries a severe impact on quality of life. Fortunately, while it is typical for people to experience elevated symptoms following a traumatic event, it is relatively rare for symptoms to maintain for a significant period of time, meaning PTSD is uncommon (Yehuda & McFarlane, 1995). Unfortunately, it is unclear why a minority of people maintain elevated symptoms and whether their reactions are meaningfully different from individuals who could be classified as resilient. If people who maintain elevated symptoms are indeed from a different population, then the ability to identify them pre-trauma and their specific symptom course has the potential to greatly assist prevention and early intervention efforts. Significant conceptual and procedural difficulties exist within the field of trauma response research related to the development and maintenance of symptoms over time. This study uses a prospective approach to overcome some of the past challenges and presents an innovative approach to statistical analysis to improve understanding and prediction of individual trauma reactions over time. 190 Queensland Ambulance Services recruits were followed across five time points using measures of risk factors, from induction through up to nine months after experiencing of a qualifying traumatic event. Growth mixture modeling was used to examine the presence of heterogeneous symptom trajectories and results identified two groups with distinct trajectories - one Low trauma trajectory, which would reflect the typical response and one High trauma trajectory that was indicative of long-term problematic outcomes. The results indicate that; a) pre-trauma risk factors of prior trauma, depression, and negative trauma cognitions and low levels of social support satisfaction were predictive of elevated and chronic trauma reactions, b) the Low trauma group were more likely, than their High trauma counterparts, to experience posttraumatic growth up to nine months after the event, and c) low depression and less negative trauma cognitions are key variables associated with more posttraumatic growth in the Low trauma group, whereas more prior trauma, cognitive rigidity, and less social support satisfaction are key predictors of posttraumatic growth. Results are discussed in relation to identifying individuals at-risk of negative trauma outcomes and prevention interventions.

description: It has been recently claimed that no protocol for measuring quantum work can satisfy standard required physical principles, casting doubts on the compatibility between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the classical limit. In this Letter, we present a solution for this incompatibility. We demonstrate that the standard formulation of these principles fails to address the classical limit properly. By proposing changes in this direction, we prove that all the essential principles can be satisfied when work is defined as a quantum observable, reconciling quantum work statistics and thermodynamics.

description: In this short paper we determine the effects of structure on the cosmological consistency relation which is valid in a perfect Friedmann Universe. We show that within $Λ$CDM the consistency relation is violated by about 1.5% for redshifts $z\simeq 2$ and this violation raises up to 2% at $z\simeq 5$ and 3% at $z\simeq 10$ after which it settles at about 2.7% for $z>10$. This effect of cosmic structure on the distance redshift relation is also very sensitive to the determination of the dark energy equation of state via cosmic distances. It actually leads to an apparent unphysical behavior of $w(z)$ which even diverges at $z\sim 2.5$ and which we also discuss here.

description: We systematically study all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional (2,0) supergravity with a null isometry. In particular, every such solution with at least four real supersymmetries is also a supersymmetric solution of a (1,0) theory preserving the same absolute amount of supersymmetry. This implies that no genuinely new solutions of this type can be found in this framework. The microstate geometries associated to supersymmetric black holes within Mathur's proposal are generically supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional supergravity. A direct consequence of our result is that supersymmetric microstate geometries of single centre supersymmetric black holes should carry only one compact 3-cycle.

description: We introduce a new elliptic integrable $σ$-model in the form of a two-parameter deformation of the Principal Chiral Model on the group $\text{SL}_{\mathbb{R}}(N)$, generalising a construction of Cherednik for $N=2$ (up to reality conditions). We exhibit the Lax connection and $\mathcal{R}$-matrix of this theory, which depend meromorphically on a spectral parameter valued in the torus. Furthermore, we explain the origin of this model from an equivariant semi-holomorphic 4-dimensional Chern-Simons theory on the torus. This approach opens the way for the construction of a large class of elliptic integrable $σ$-models, with the deformed Principal Chiral Model as the simplest example.

We describe and make use of a new algorithm for creating a single, unified void catalogue by combining different samples from the posterior. The catalogue is complete out to $135\,h^{-1}\mathrm{\,Mpc}$, with void abundances matching theoretical predictions. Finally, we compute stacked density profiles of those voids which are reliably identified across posterior samples, and show that these are compatible with $Λ$CDM expectations once environmental selection (e.g., the estimated $\sim 4\%$ under-density of the Local Super-Volume) is accounted for.

description: With the Chandra X-ray Telescope we have detected a zero-redshift OVII He-alpha absorption line along the sight line toward 3C 273. This line detection is highly significant, with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 6.4. We explore two models, which associate this line with (1) the intragroup gas in the Local Group, and (2) the hot halo gas in the vicinity of our Milky Way. In the first model, we find that for a standard beta-model of the gas distribution in the Local Group, the temperature is constrained to 2.3e5 < T < 1.2e6 K and the baryon overdensity is delta_b ~ 100; both results are consistent with the properties of the so-called warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) predicted by cosmological simulations. We also find the core radius of the gas distribution should be > 100 kpc. In the second model we discuss several possible Galactic origins for the absorption, and we comment on the possibility that the OVII is associated with the OVI absorption observed in this direction by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). We find that there is a strong indication that collisional ionization is the dominant ionization source for the observed absorption.

description: Applying the mean surface density of companions, Sigma(r), to the dynamical evolution of star clusters is an interesting approach to quantifying structural changes in a cluster. It has the advantage that the entire density structure, ranging from the closest binary separations, over the core-halo structure through to the density distribution in moving groups that originate from clusters, can be analysed coherently as one function of the stellar separations r. This contribution assesses the evolution of Sigma(r) for clusters with different initial densities and binary populations. The changes in the binary, cluster and halo branches as the clusters evolve are documented using direct N-body calculations, and are correlated with the cluster core and half-mass radius. The location of breaks in the slope of Sigma(r) and the possible occurrence of a binary gap can be used to infer dynamical cluster properties.

description: We use exact techniques to demonstrate theoretically the pumping of fractional charges in a single-level non-interacting quantum dot, when the dot-reservoir coupling is adiabatically driven from weak to strong coupling. The pumped charge averaged over many cycles is quantized at a fraction of an electron per cycle, determined by the ratio of Lamb shift to level-broadening; this ratio is imposed by the reservoir band-structure. For uniform density of states, half an electron is pumped per cycle. We call this "adiabatic almost-topological pumping", because the pumping's Berry curvature is sharply peaked in the parameter space. Hence, so long as the pumping contour does not touch the peak, the pumped charge depends only on how many times the contour winds around the peak (up to exponentially small corrections). However, the topology does not protect against non-adiabatic corrections, which grow linearly with pump speed. In one limit the peak becomes a delta-function, so the adiabatic pumping of fractional charges becomes entirely topological. Our results show that quantization of the adiabatic pumped charge at a fraction of an electron does not require fractional particles or other exotic physics.

description: Keck spectroscopy is presented for four dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. At this distance, the mean velocity and velocity dispersion are well resolved as a function of radius between 100 to 1000 pc, allowing a clear separation between nuclear and surrounding galaxy light. We find a variety of dispersion profiles for the inner regions of these objects, and show that none of these galaxies is rotationally flattened.

description: Many sightings of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis) have been reported during the past several decades, but nobody has managed to obtain the clear photo that is regarded as the standard form of evidence for documenting birds. Despite reports of sightings by teams of ornithologists working independently in Arkansas and Florida, doubts cast on the persistence of this iconic species have impeded the establishment of a meaningful conservation program. An analysis of the expected waiting time for obtaining a photo provides insights into why the policy of insisting upon ideal evidence has failed for this species. Concepts in statistics and probability are used to analyze video footage that was obtained during encounters with birds that were identified in the field as Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. One of the videos shows a series of events that are consistent with that species but are believed to be inconsistent with every other species of the region. Another video shows a large bird in flight with the distinctive wing motion of a large woodpecker. Only two large woodpeckers occur in the region, and the flap rate is about ten standard deviations greater than the mean flap rate of the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus).

Low scale type I seesaw model for lepton masses and mixings

description: In contrast to the original type I seesaw mechanism that requires right-handed Majorana neutrinos at energies much higher than the electroweak scale, the so-called low scale seesaw models allow lighter masses for the additional neutrinos. Here we propose an alternative low scale type I seesaw model, where neither linear nor inverse seesaw mechanisms take place, but the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry at an energy scale much lower than the model cutoff is responsible for the smallness of the light active neutrino masses. In this scenario, the model is defined with minimal particle content, where the right-handed Majorana neutrinos can have masses at the $\sim 50\mbox{ GeV}$ scale. The model is predictive in the neutrino sector having only four effective parameters that allow to successfully reproduce the experimental values of the six low energy neutrino observables.

Contribution of the Large Magellanic Cloud to the Galactic Warp

description: Multi-scale interaction between the LMC, Galactic halo, and the disk is examined with N-body simulations, and precise amplitudes of the Galactic warp excitation are obtained. The Galactic models are constructed most realistically to satisfy available observational constraints on the local circular velocity, the mass, surface density and thickness of the disk, the mass and size of the bulge, the local density of the halo matter at the solar radius, and the mass and orbit of the LMC. By using hybrid algorithm (SCF-TREE) I have succeeded to follow the evolution with millions of particles. The orbiting satellite excites density enhancement as a wake, and the wake exerts a tidal force on the disk. Because of the additional torque from the wakes in the halo, the amplitudes of the induced warps are much larger than the classical estimate by [hunt1969], who considered only the direct torque from the LMC. The obtained amplitudes of m=0, 1, 2 warps in the larger halo model show very good agreement with the observed amplitude in the Milky Way. This result revives the LMC as a possible candidate of the origin of the Galactic warp. Our smaller halo model, however, yield only weak warps in all the harmonic modes. Therefore the halo still has significant influence on excitation of warp even in the interaction scenario for excitation of warps.

description: SUMMARY: This paper reports on the first of a series of ethnographic case studies about the experiences of Mexican immigrants from Cowland (pseudonym), a rural city of southern New Jersey. The study explored how the translocal identity of four Oaxacan and Poblano families are manifested in their literacy practices. It also examined the opportunities and challenges born from their translocal identity, in the context of the post-2016 U.S. election era, characterized by contentious discourse around immigration along with heightened nationalistic tendencies in immigration policy. Using translocality, translingualism, and raciolinguistics, the author found that, although sometimes beneficial, their translocal identities afford participants substantial challenges. The discussion centers around participants’ perception of their experiences as members of the community in which they live, work, and educate their children. Study implications and recommendations for future research are presented.
RÉSUMÉ : Cet article présente la première d’une série d’études de cas ethnographiques à propos des expériences d’immigrants mexicains d’une ville rurale du sud du New Jersey. L’étude a examiné comment l’identité translocale de quatre familles mexicaines se manifeste dans leurs pratiques d’alphabétisation, ainsi que les possibilités et défis nés de cette identité. Cette investigation se déroule aux États-Unis, dans une époque post-élection 2016, caractérisée par un discours polémique autour de l’immigration ainsi que des tendances nationalistes en matière de politique d’immigration. Utilisant la translocalité, le translinguisme et la raciolinguistique, l’auteur a constaté que, bien que parfois bénéfiques, leurs identités posent aux participants des défis considérables. La discussion tourne autour de la perception des participants envers leur expérience en tant que membres de la communauté dans laquelle ils vivent, travaillent et éduquent leurs enfants. Les implications de l’étude et des recommandations pour de futures recherches sont présentées.

description: This thesis uses an ethnographic approach to investigate the microprocesses of a peace operation to understand whether peacekeepers on the ground can make a difference to their security environment. I examine the work of UNIFIL in South Lebanon since the implementation of Resolution 1701 in 2006 and describe the work of local actors in the UNIFIL mission and their engagement at three levels: the local, the national and the international. This thesis asked the following research questions: (1) How do peace operations influence their security environment? and; (2) What factors effect UNIFIL local engagement? This research has found that at the subnational or local level, UNIFIL is able to influence its security environment and thus contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security. It does this by sustaining local connections that serve to alert the mission to small incidents that it prevents from developing into bigger conflicts. The area of operations has experienced peace for almost eight years and this would suggest that these activities at the micro level have helped to provide an environment conducive to peace. On a practical level, the UNIFIL mission has achieved this in three main ways: first by monitoring, reporting and intervening in Blue Line violations as part of a response mechanism, to avoid escalation. Second, through the preventative mechanisms of liaising between the IDF and the LAF to encourage local level cooperation and produce micro security agreements to prevent misunderstandings. Third, UNIFIL has a very comprehensive local engagement mechanism that enables the mission to maintain local consent and avoid being affected by intrastate conflict.

description: Half-maximal, $\,\mathcal{N}=4\,$, sectors of $\,D=4\,$ $\,\mathcal{N}=8\,$ supergravity with a dyonic ISO(7) gauging are investigated. We focus on a half-maximal sector including three vector multiplets, that arises as a certain $\,\textrm{SO}(3)_{\textrm{R}}$-invariant sector of the full theory. We discuss the embedding of this sector into the largest half-maximal sector of the $\,\mathcal{N}=8\,$ supergravity retaining six vector multiplets. We also provide its canonical $\,\mathcal{N}=4\,$ formulation and show that, from this perspective, our model leads in its own right to a new explicit gauging of $\,\mathcal{N}=4\,$ supergravity. Finally, expressions for the restricted duality hierarchy are given and the vacuum structure is investigated. Five new non-supersymmetric AdS vacua are found numerically. The previously known $\,\mathcal{N}=2\,$ and $\,\mathcal{N}=3\,$ AdS vacua are also contained in our $\,\mathcal{N}=4\,$ model. Unlike when embedded in previously considered sectors with fewer fields, these vacua exhibit their full $\,\mathcal{N}=2\,$ and $\,\mathcal{N}=3\,$ supersymmetry within our $\,\mathcal{N}=4\,$ model.
