description: We consider second order elliptic operators with real, nonsymmetric coefficient functions which are subject to mixed boundary conditions. The aim of this paper is to provide uniform resolvent estimates for the realizations of these operators on Lp in a most direct way and under minimal regularity assumptions on the domain. This is analogous to the main result in [7]. Ultracontractivity of the associated semigroups is also considered. All results are for two different form domains realizing mixed boundary conditions. We further consider the case of Robin- instead of classical Neumann boundary conditions and also allow for operators inducing dynamic boundary conditions. The results are complemented by an intrinsic characterization of elements of the form domains inducing mixed boundary conditions.

description: How can data and networked digital technologies be used to cultivate collective sensibilities towards the presence of trees? How can the datafication of forests build on or depart from other ways of relating to trees, whether through mythology, mapping, camping, conservation, literature, logging, painting, planting, film, food, art installations, activist occupations, imperial expansion, indigenous stewardship, botany, birthing, or bathing (shinrin-yoku)? This piece briefly explores some of the emerging practices, infrastructures, and devices that are used to render trees experiencable, sensible, and relatable through digital data.

description: Supervised contrastive learning (SupCL) has emerged as a prominent approach in representation learning, leveraging both supervised and self-supervised losses. However, achieving an optimal balance between these losses is challenging; failing to do so can lead to class collapse, reducing discrimination among individual embeddings in the same class. In this paper, we present theoretically grounded guidelines for SupCL to prevent class collapse in learned representations. Specifically, we introduce the Simplex-to-Simplex Embedding Model (SSEM), a theoretical framework that models various embedding structures, including all embeddings that minimize the supervised contrastive loss. Through SSEM, we analyze how hyperparameters affect learned representations, offering practical guidelines for hyperparameter selection to mitigate the risk of class collapse. Our theoretical findings are supported by empirical results across synthetic and real-world datasets.

Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2020

description: Recent studies have suggested that musical rhythm perception ability can affect the phonological system. The most prevalent causal account for developmental dyslexia is the phonological deficit hypothesis. As rhythm is a subpart of phonology, we hypothesized that reading deficits in dyslexia are associated with rhythm processing in speech and in music. In a rhythmic grouping task, adults with diagnosed dyslexia and age-matched controls listened to speech streams with syllables alternating in intensity, duration, or neither, and indicated whether they perceived a strong-weak or weak-strong rhythm pattern. Additionally, their reading and musical rhythm abilities were measured. Results showed that adults with dyslexia had lower musical rhythm abilities than adults without dyslexia. Moreover, lower musical rhythm ability was associated with lower reading ability in dyslexia. However, speech grouping by adults with dyslexia was not impaired when musical rhythm perception ability was controlled: like adults without dyslexia, they showed consistent preferences. However, rhythmic grouping was predicted by musical rhythm perception ability, irrespective of dyslexia. The results suggest associations among musical rhythm perception ability, speech rhythm perception, and reading ability. This highlights the importance of considering individual variability to better understand dyslexia and raises the possibility that musical rhythm perception ability is a key to phonological and reading acquisition.

description: The study of molecular clouds in galaxies beyond the Local Group is limited by the need to efficiently sample diverse galactic environments across galactic discs, typically resulting in a loss of resolution. Using a high-resolution dust extinction technique, we image the dust (and gas) of 4 nearby galaxies (<18 Mpc; NGC 4689, NGC 628, NGC 1566, and NGC 4321) with resolutions between 5-9 pc. We present catalogues of spatially-resolved clouds for these galaxies, with which we investigate whether different galactic environments and morphologies have a significant impact on observed cloud properties. We find no systematic differences in cloud size, aspect ratio, or morphology with galactic environment or radius. We do find changes in cloud masses/surface densities between the centres and discs of galaxies, with clouds in centres typically displaying higher values of mass/surface density. Furthermore, we find distinct distributions of cloud surface densities across the bars of NGC 1566 and NGC 4321. Differences between the arm and inter-arm populations are more subtle, with some galaxies in the sample having much higher cloud masses/surface densities in their spiral arms, and other galaxies showing fairly similar arm/inter-arm distributions. These results suggest that, even within this small sample of galaxies, not all spiral arms and bars seem to behave and affect the interstellar medium equally. Therefore, performing a qualitative environment analysis, where clouds of different galaxies are all binned together under the same visual environmental classification, leads to the loss of information on interesting property variations which in turn demonstrate the impact of the underlying dynamics.

description: Mit dem Beginn der Reform des Wirtschaftssystems und der außenwirtschaftlichen Öffnung Anfang der 80er Jahre wurde die Politik einer regional ausgeglichenen Wirtschaftsentwicklung zugunsten einer gezielten Förderung ausgewählter Regionen ersetzt. Die neue Entwicklungsstrategie basierte im Wesentlichen darauf, dass die Küstenprovinzen ihre geographischen und ökonomischen Standortbedingungen für die Entfaltung einer exportorientierten Entwicklungsstrategie einsetzen sollten. Innerhalb der Küstenregion entstanden mit dem Perlflussdelta in den 80er Jahren und dem Yangzi-Delta in den 90er Jahren zwei unterschiedliche Wachstumspole. Obwohl sich ihr Entwicklungsmuster in den 90er Jahren angenähert hat, können doch einige Unterschiede aufgezeigt werden.

Entwicklung von Modellen zur speichergestützten Versorgung mit regenerativen Energien in Inselnetzen
Creators: name: Itschner, Harald
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2020

description: 1. In dieser Arbeit wird eine Methode zur Auslegung von regenerativ betriebenen Versorgungssystemen als Inselnetz unter Verwendung von Energiespeichern vorgestellt. Basis für die Auslegung sind statistische Modelle der Leistungsprofile von Verbrauchern und Erzeugern sowie Modelle von Netz, Speichern und weiteren Komponenten, beispielsweise Dieselgeneratoren. Die am Versorgungssystem beteiligten Komponenten sind dabei modular und skalierbar gehalten, wirtschaftliche Parameter sind mittels Kostenmodellen hinterlegt. Die Auslegung der Versorgungssysteme wird mithilfe einer Optimierungssoftware umgesetzt, die die Gesamtkosten des Versorgungssystems minimiert. 2. Die Validierung der mit den statistischen Modellen erzeugten Leistungsprofile wurde anhand von Messungen aus zwei realen Versorgungsgebieten vorgenommen. Die Abweichungen der synthetischen Leistungsprofile zu den Messungen fielen dabei gering aus. Die mit der Optimierungssoftware gefundene Auslegung der Systemkomponenten wurde mittels eines dafür geschriebenen Scripts überprüft. Dabei konnten für die untersuchten Systeme eine ausreichend große Dimensionierung der Systemkomponenten festgestellt werden. Der Vergleich der angenommenen Systemkosten vor der Optimierung mit den Kosten der optimierten Systeme zeigt, dass regenerativ betriebene Inselsysteme mit Speichern mit den getroffenen wirtschaftlich sind.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NURSING: EVALUATION IN REAL-WORLD HEALTHCARE SCENARIOS

Year: 2024
Subjects: Emotional Intelligence, Salovey and Mayer, skills model, personality model, mixed model, cognition.

description: Emotional Intelligence (EI) has gained recognition as a vital component of human cognition and behavior. Initially conceptualized by Salovey and Mayer in 1990, EI encompasses the capacity to accurately perceive and express emotions, as well as employ emotions for motivation, planning, and goal achievement. EI has established itself as an essential tool in various fields, such as education, psychology, and business, contributing to team cohesion, effective communication, leadership development, and productivity. Over time, different models of EI have emerged, providing various perspectives on this construct. These models include the skills model, which views EI as a malleable cognitive ability, the personality model, which considers EI a stable facet of one's character, and the mixed model, which combines abilities and personality traits in defining EI. Some experts propose that EI, distinct from traditional cognitive intelligence (IQ), represents another form of cognition that integrates emotions and can significantly enhance academic or professional performance. This paper explores the multifaceted nature of EI and its relevance in contemporary society. By investigating the different models of EI, it aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role’s emotions play in human intelligence and behavior.
European Dimension of German-Taiwanese Relations

description: The history of German-Taiwanese relations since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 and the retreat of Republican China’s Guomindang govern- ment to Taiwan after its defeat in the Chinese civil war in the very same year has no comprehensive written account yet. In a sense, one can speak of a no-history of these relations. Contrary to many other states in the Western hemisphere (and beyond), Germany never held diplomatic relations with the exiled Republic of China on Taiwan, not even before 1971 when Taipei finally lost its UN seat to the People’s Republic of China. German politics vis-ä-vis the ROC was very much a dependent variable of German politics towards the PRC, even more so after 1972 when Bonn and Beijing finalized their negotiations on mutual recognition and exchanged ambassadors. This general ap- proach has not changed until the very present.

description: Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are commonly found in existing and heritage buildings in Canada, either as infill or load-bearing walls. Such walls are vulnerable to sudden and brittle failure under blast loads due to their insufficient out-of-plane strength. The failure of such walls under blast pressures can also result in fragmentation and wall debris which can injure building occupants. Over the years, researchers have conducted experimental tests to evaluate the structural behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls under out-of-plane loading. Various strengthening methods have been proposed, including the use of concrete overlays, polyurea coatings and advanced fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is an emerging material which can also be used to strengthen and remove the deficiencies in unreinforced masonry walls. This composite material consists of a sequence of one or multiple layers of cement-based mortar reinforced with an open mesh of dry fibers (fabric). This thesis presents an experimental and analytical study which investigates the effectiveness of using FRCM composites to improve the out-of-plane resistance of URM walls when subjected to blast loading. As part of the experimental program, two large-scale URM masonry walls were constructed and strengthened with the 3-plies of unidirectional carbon FRCM retrofit. The specimens included one infill concrete masonry (CMU) wall, and one load-bearing stone wall. The University of Ottawa Shock Tube was used to test the walls under gradually increasing blast pressures until failure, and the results were compared to those of control (un-retrofitted) walls tested in previous research. Overall, the FRCM strengthening method was found to be a promising retrofit technique to increase the blast resistance of unreinforced masonry walls. In particular, the retrofit was effective in increasing the out-of-plane strength, stiffness and ultimate blast capacity of the walls, while delaying brittle failure and reducing fragmentation. As part of the analytical research, Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) analysis was performed to predict the blast behaviour of the stone load-bearing retrofit wall. This was done by computing wall flexural strength using Plane Section Analysis, and developing an idealized resistance curve for use in the SDOF analysis. Overall, the dynamic analysis results were found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental maximum displacements.

description: This is a practical guide with several instructions and tips on how authors can contribute to the dissemination of their published research, focused on open access publications. More than five thousand scientific articles are published daily, so authors need to make the best efforts to obtain visibility (Mendes-da-Silva, 2018). The sharing of scholarly articles enables collaboration, professional relationships and advances in science and discovery, so researchers should learn the art of using social media, scholarly collaboration networks, and other online platforms to engage with individuals and groups within and beyond academia, including key policy influencers and decision makers, and with individuals with shared interests. This way it will help to increase the dissemination of their work (Tripathy, Bhatnagar, Shewade, Kumar, Zachariah, & Harries, 2017). Many studies have shown that there is a statistically significant correlation between social media mentions such as posts, tweets, blogs and citation counts (Tripathy et al., 2017). However, the ways information is shared are rapidly evolving and how best to share articles can be unclear. Differences in journal policies can add to this confusion, so authors should always check the article's distribution license and the publisher’s self-archiving policy before sharing the full text with the community (How Can I Share It, 2020). With 10 main topics, this guide presents a non-exhaustive list of strategies to increase the dissemination of research results, in order to facilitate the effective impact of published scientific works.

title: Governing Races, Feminising Freedom: A Genealogy of the Black Caribbean Woman from Postcolonial Britain to the Post-Emancipation Caribbean
Creators: name: Noble, Denise Elizabeth Pottinger
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: The politics of race and Black representation now centre on contestations over the meaning of Black identity, and of freedom, in a postcolonial world. Whilst the end of formal colonialism has not eradicated racism, postcoloniality has unsettled Black identity, producing new struggles around gender, sexuality, and class. These internal struggles increasingly contest the both the terms and conditions of contemporary Black freedom and the meaning of Blackness. This study explores these themes using interviews with Black Caribbean women in London and analyses of Black women's cultural practices. It addresses these as practices of freedom through which women have sought to re-define themselves and govern their lives through the idea of freedom. Secondly it uses genealogy to historicise and critique these practices and to undertake a critical ontology of the figure of the Black Caribbean women within liberalism. This reveals the mutual constituitiveness of metropolitan and colonial liberal formations through three moments in the post-emancipation histories of Black Caribbean women and British liberal state reform. These are: - the post-war mass migration to the U. K. of Caribbean women between 1948 and 1962; the reformation of the British Caribbean from slave economies to free societies following the Abolition of slavery in 1834, and finally political decolonisation by Britain of its Caribbean territories between 1934 and 1962. These moments permit a critical history of our present, in which we encounter the traces of Britain's colonial past in contemporary social formations. This study concludes that the traces of colonial liberalism remain in contemporary advanced liberalism. Secondly that the category Black Caribbean woman is a category of liberal government, but also available as an ethical identity from which Black Caribbean women have and continue to both resist the governmentalities of race and gender, and use their liberties to expand the limits of freedom.

Eliciting priors and relaxing the single causal variant assumption in colocalisation analyses.
Creators: name: Wallace, Chris
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2020

description: Horizontal integration of summary statistics from different GWAS traits can be used to evaluate evidence for their shared genetic causality. One popular method to do this is a Bayesian method, coloc, which is attractive in requiring only GWAS summary statistics and no linkage disequilibrium estimates and is now being used routinely to perform thousands of comparisons between traits. Here we show that while most users do not adjust default software values, misspecification of prior parameters can substantially alter posterior inference. We suggest data driven methods to derive sensible prior values, and demonstrate how sensitivity analysis can be used to assess robustness of posterior inference. The flexibility of coloc comes at the expense of an unrealistic assumption of a single causal variant per trait. This assumption can be relaxed by stepwise conditioning, but this requires external software and an LD matrix aligned to study alleles. We have now implemented conditioning within coloc, and propose a new alternative method, masking, that does not require LD and approximates conditioning when causal variants are independent. Importantly, masking can be used in combination with conditioning where allelically aligned LD estimates are available for only a single trait. We have implemented these developments in a new version of coloc which we hope will enable more informed choice of priors and overcome the restriction of the single causal variant assumptions in coloc analysis.

description: BACKGROUND:There is guidance in the United Kingdom about what long-term care stroke survivors should receive, but a lack of guidance about who should deliver it and where this care should take place. This is a key issue given the evidence that current needs are not well addressed. The purpose of this study was to explore when a referral from generalist to specialist services is appropriate in the long-term management of stroke survivors. METHODS:A modified RAND-Appropriateness method was used to gain consensus from a range of stroke specialist and generalist clinicians. Ten panelists rated fictional patient scenarios based on long-term post-stroke needs. Round 1 was an online survey in which panelists rated the scenarios for a) need for referral to specialist care and b) if referral was deemed necessary, need for this to be specifically to a stroke specialist. Round 2 was a face-to-face meeting in which panelists were presented with aggregate scores from round 1, and invited to discuss and then re-rate the scenarios. RESULTS:Seventeen scenarios comprising 69 referral decisions were discussed. Consensus on whether the patient needed to be referred to a specialist was achieved for 59 (86%) decisions. Of the 44 deemed needing referral to specialists, 18 were judged to need referral to a stroke-specialist and 14 to a different specialist. However, for 12 decisions there was no consensus about which specialist the patient should be referred to. For some scenarios (spasticity; incontinence; physical disability; communication; cognition), referral was deemed to be indicated regardless of severity, whereas indications for referral for topics such as risk factor management and pain depended on complexity and/or severity. CONCLUSIONS:There was broad agreement about when a stroke survivor requires referral to specialist care, but less agreement about destination of referral. Nevertheless, there was agreement that some of the longer-term issues facing stroke survivors are best addressed by stroke specialists, some by other specialists, and some by primary care. This has implications for models of longer-term stroke care, which need to reflect that optimal care requires access to, and better co-ordination between, both generalist and specialist healthcare.

description: A literature survey was conducted to investigate the host and geographical distribution patterns of three Corynosoma species (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae), viz. C. magdaleni, C. semerme and C. strumosum. All three species appear to be restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. Occurrence records of C. magdaleni are limited to the Northern Atlantic coasts, while C. semerme has a circumpolar distribution. The geographical range of Corynosoma strumosum encompasses the distributions of the other two species, but also extends into warmer southern regions. Some Corynosoma populations are living with their definitive hosts in very isolated locations, such as in the brackish Baltic Sea or different freshwater lakes (e.g. Lake Saimaa). All three species have a heteroxenous life cycle, comprising a peracaridan intermediate host, a fish paratenic host and a mammalian definitive host. Occasionally, an acanthocephalan may enter an accidental host, from which it is unable to complete its life cycle. The host records reported here are categorised by type, i.e. intermediate, paratenic, definitive or accidental. While most of the definitive hosts are shared amongst the three Corynosoma species, C. strumosum showed the broadest range of paratenic hosts, which reflects its more extensive geographical distribution. One aim of this study and extensive literature summary is to guide future sampling efforts and therewith contribute to throw more light on the on-going species and morphotype discussion for this interesting parasite species.

description: Η παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία πραγματεύεται την εξέλιξη της συλλογικής κατοικίας στην μετεπαναστατική Ρωσία & μετέπειτα ΕΣΣΔ, κατά την περίοδο 1917-1935.
Κατά τις πρώτες δεκαετίες του 20ου αιώνα επήλθαν μεγάλες και ριζικές αλλαγές στην ανθρώπινη ιστορία, τόσο σε κοινωνικό όσο και σε επιστημονικό και τεχνολογικό επίπεδο. Συγκεκριμένα, με την Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση του 1917 και την ίδρυση του πρώτου εργατικού σοσιαλιστικού κράτους, δημιουργήθηκε ένα νέο πλαίσιο αναφορικά με το στεγαστικό ζητήματα της εργατικής τάξης.
Η εν λόγω ερευνητική εργασία αναφέρεται τόσο στα πρακτικά,  όσο και στα θεωρητικά ζητήματα που απασχόλησαν τους αρχιτέκτονες και το κράτος, για την χωρική έκφραση της νέας σοσιαλιστικής ζωής.
Μέσα από μία χρονική αναδρομή από την εμφάνιση των πρώτων μορφών συλλογικής κατοίκησης στις απαλλοτριωμένες αστικές κατοικίες, τα πρώτα μετεπαναστατικά χρόνια, μέχρι την εφαρμογή των κρατικών οικιστικών προγραμμάτων από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 1920, παρουσιάζεται η εξέλιξη  της συλλογικής κατοίκησης στην ΕΣΣΔ, ως προϊόν έντονων αναζητήσεων και πειραματισμών. Η αρχιτεκτονική δημιουργία συμβάλει καθοριστικά ως διαμορφωτής του «νέου τρόπου ζωής», μέσω της συλλογικής κατοίκησης, που αποτελεί ένα οικονομικό, κοινωνικό και πολιτικό εργαλείο, προς την οικοδόμηση της σοσιαλιστικής κοινωνίας.

Als typisches Beispiel für einen „Emerging Market“ im asiatischpazifischen Raum weist der taiwanische Aktienmarkt einige landesspezifische Besonderheiten auf, die ihn von anderen Emerging Markets unterscheiden, u.a. die von innen- und außenpolitischen Krisen angetriebene Regulierungspraxis. Im Hinblick auf Größe, Branchenstruktur, Öffnung für internationale Anleger und andere Indikatoren ist der taiwanische Aktienmarkt durchschnittlich weit entwickel .

description: The oxidation behavior of polymer‐derived (HfₓTa₁₋ₓ)C/SiC nanocomposites at 1200 °C and 1400 °C for up to 100 h is investigated in this work. Overall, the chemical modification of the polycarbosilane‐based precursor with Hf and Ta leads to an improved oxidation behavior due to an increased densification. Shifting the Hf/Ta ratio from (Hf₀.₂Ta₀.₈)C/SiC to (Hf₀.₇Ta₀.₃)C/SiC results in an improved oxidation behavior due to Hf₆Ta₂O₁₇ formation and the reduction of Ta₂O₅ formation, which reduces cracking of the samples. The formation and microstructure of SiO₂ as well as the internal oxidation of (HfₓTa₁₋ₓ)C precipitates is explained by thermodynamic and kinetic considerations.

description: Am 1. Juli 2001 hielt Jiang Zemin in seiner Funktion als Generalsekretär der KPCh eine knapp zweistündige „wichtige Rede“, die im staatlichen Fernsehen landesweit ausgestrahlt wurde. Anlass war der achtzigste Jahrestag der Gründung der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas, als deren Gründungstag traditionell der 1. Juli 1921 gilt. Für Jiang Zemin bot der Jahrestag eine der letzten großen Gelegenheiten, sein ideologisches Vermächtnis zu formulieren und sich damit in die Reihe Mao Zedongs und Deng Xiaopings zu stellen, bevor im Herbst 2002 auf dem XVI. Parteitag die vierte Führungsgeneration der KPCh nachrücken wird. Jiang Zemin wird dann zwar voraussichtlich noch das Amt des Vorsitzenden der Zentralen Militärkommission beibehalten, sein gegenwärtiges Amt des Generalsekretärs der Partei - sowie das auf zwei Perioden befristete Amt des Staatspräsidenten - aber aufgeben.

In den asiatischen Wirtschaftsgesellschaften gehe es, von einigen wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, augenscheinlich erneut bergauf. Mehr noch: Zahlreiche Beobachter zeigen sich geradezu demonstrativ überzeugt, dass die tiefgreifende Krisenphase der dritten großen Schlüsselregion der Weltwirtschaft der Vergangenheit angehöre.
