description: Fake news is another word for “disinformation”. It means information that looks and sounds like true, but which is false or not totally true. Sometimes, even if statements might be false, the events they are referring to might be real.
 Fake news is made to look like news: it is catchy so that it attracts the attention of more readers and gets more clicks or shares.
 The aims of this content are different: sometimes it is to mislead and manipulate the public, for ideological or economic gains (Baptista & Gradim, 2022). However, sometimes it can happen that fake news comes from lack of understanding and full knowledge of a situation.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Whiteness: A Revolution of Identity Politics in America

description: An enduring motif in American political history reflects the nation's slow progression towards inclusion of a once disenfranchised populace. In the annals of its jurisprudence, the nation recalls a time when citizenship was linked to race: a time when the racial perquisites for naturalization were not challenged based on its constitutionality, but on who could be professedly "white." President Obama's election ushered in a new chapter to this American narrative. His election and the response to it reveal how far we have come and how far we have left to travel on the path towards equality in citizenship. This Article frames a longstanding debate concerning race consciousness in the political sphere and how it consequently influences an ever-changing electorate. It explores the impact that our courts and our policymakers have had on shaping what it means to be white in America, and accordingly to possess a majority voice in society. The Article further seeks to explicate how politicized social institutions are sustained from generation to generation by way of an unabashed preservation of the status quo. Those who come to power do so by protracting nostalgic yearnings, summoning persistent lore and mythos about a way of life that has not always benefited an entire electorate, and not threatening or offending the mainstay of the American political complex. Obama's election revealed a model, embossed by a romanticized collective national history and a steadfast commitment to the ideals of American Exceptionalism, for transforming a minority candidate's use of identity politics to garner support, influence and ultimately the ability to govern.

title: Einfluß von Maßnahmen des Wassermanagements im Siedlungsgebiet auf die Gewässer gesamthafte Entwsässerungsplanung (GEP)
Creators: name: Fleckseder, Hellmut
Publisher: name: TU Wien

Subjects: Entwässerungsplanung

description: Im Wechselspiel zwischen dem Zwang der Menschen, die „Natur“ auch für die Belange der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft zu nützen, sie dabei aber auch in gleicher Weise vor einer überzogenen Nutzung zu schützen, kann der „Ausgleich“ hoffentlich durch eine „Gesamtschau“ erzielt werden. Vorarbeiten im Österreichischen Wasser- und Abfallwirtschaftsverband haben bezüglich der Entsorgung von Wasser und seiner Inhaltsstoffe aus dem Siedlungsraum zur Abfassung einer Methodik geführt, die „Gesamthafte Entwässerungsplanung“ genannt wird. Das Tagungsthema beschäftigt sich mit „zentralen“ bzw. „dezentralen“ Lösungen zur Abwasserreinigung. Entscheidungen in diesem Rahmen haben die gegebene Anwendungssituation und auch möglichst alle zulaßbaren Maßnahmen zu berücksichtigen; Verallgemeinerungen sind hier fehl am Platz. Die zu wählenden Maßnahmen des „Wassermanagements“ haben sich an den Forderungen des „Massenerhaltes“ sowohl für „(Ab)Wasser“ als auch für dessen „Inhaltsstoffe“ auszurichten und dabei auch weitere Forderungen (z.B. die Annäherung an einen „natürlichen Wasserkreislauf“ bzw. „möglichst naturnahe Gewässer“) zu berücksichtigen. Bezüglich des Niederschlages und seines Abflusses steht somit die „Versickerung“ im Vordergrund, bzw. auch die retardierte Ableitung an der Oberfläche, bei der Vermeidung in der „Abwasserentstehung“ auch die Frage, ob der Spülabort im „eher locker verbauten Raum“ der Weisheit letzter Schluß sei. Nach der Einordnung der Begriffe wird die Methodik des „Werkzeuges Gesamthafte Entwässerungsplanung“ mit Bezug auf den Tagungsinhalt dargestellt. Sich daraus ergebende zulaßbare Maßnahmen werden nicht nur durch die technische Komponente, sondern in gleicher Weise durch menschliche Akzeptanz (z.B. bezüglich des „Entwässerungskomforts“) und auch menschlichen Verhaltens (z.B. bezüglich der Gewißheit, daß menschliche Abgänge vom Grauwasser getrennt, aufgefangen und - nach Behandlung - dem Stoff-Nutzkreislauf übergeben werden) geprägt.

description: The presence of the light CP-odd scalar boson predicted in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM) and the simplest little Higgs model (SLHM) dramatically changes the phenomenology of the Higgs sector. We suggest a practical strategy to discriminate the underlying model of the CP-odd scalar boson produced in the decay of the standard model-like Higgs boson. We define the decay rate of "the non $b$-tagged jet pair" with which we compute the ratio of decay rates into lepton and jets. They show much different behaviors between the NMSSM and the SLHM.

What can quasi-periodic oscillations tell us about the structure of the corresponding compact objects?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show how one can estimate the multipole moments of the space-time, assuming that the quasi-periodic modulations of the X-ray flux (quasi-periodic oscillations), observed from accreting neutron stars or black holes, are due to orbital and precession frequencies (relativistic precession model). The precession frequencies $Ω_ρ$ and $Ω_z$ can be expressed as expansions on the orbital frequency $Ω$, in which the moments enter the coefficients in a prescribed form. Thus, observations can be fitted to these expressions in order to evaluate the moments. If the compact object is a neutron star, constrains can be imposed on the equation of state. The same analysis can be used for black holes as a test for the validity of the no-hair theorem. Alternatively, instead of fitting for the moments, observations can be matched to frequencies calculated from analytic models that are produced so as to correspond to realistic neutron stars described by various equations of state. Observations can thus be used to constrain the equation of state and possibly other physical parameters (mass, rotation, quadrupole, etc.) Some distinctive features of the frequencies, which become evident by using the analytic models, are discussed.

description: White matter lesions (WML) increase the risk of dementia. The relevance of WML location is less clear. We sought to determine whether a particular WML profile, based on the density and location of lesions, could be associated with an increased risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia over the following 7 years. In 426 healthy subjects from a cohort of community-dwelling people aged 65 years and over (ESPRIT Project), standardized cognitive and neurological evaluations were repeated after 2, 4 and 7 years. Patterns of WML were computed with a supervised data mining approach (decision trees) using the regional WML volumes (frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital regions) and the total WML volume estimated at baseline. Cox proportional hazard models were then constructed to study the association between WML patterns and risk of MCI/dementia. Total WML volume and percentage of WML in the temporal region proved to be the best predictors of progression to MCI and dementia. Specifically, severe total WML load with a high proportion of lesions in the temporal region was significantly associated with the risk of developing MCI or dementia. Above a certain threshold of damage, a pattern of WML clustering in the temporal region identifies individuals at increased risk of MCI or dementia. As this WML pattern is observed before the onset of clinical symptoms, it may facilitate the detection of patients at risk of MCI/dementia.

W.v.d.Emde wurde in Österreich ein Ausbildungssystem für Klärwärter geschaffen. Zusätzlich zur Grundausbildung ist jedoch auch eine laufende Fortbildung des Personals erforderlich. 1991 wurden daher für diesen Zweck Kläranlagen-Nachbarschaften gegründet. Die Einrichtung des Lehrberufes „Recycling- und Entsorgungstechniker“ fand bisher nur geringe Akzeptanz. Die Weiterführung in der bisherigen Form bzw. der Bedarf für diesen Lehrberuf sollte einer gewissenhaften Prüfung unterzogen werden. Die Entwicklung und derzeitige Ausbildung des Betriebspersonals von Abwasseranlagen in Österreich sowie die damit erzielten Erfahrungen werden dargestellt, zukünftige weitere Entwicklungen diskutiert. Die bisherige Aus- und Fortbildung im Rahmen des ÖWAV hat sich bis dato überaus bewährt. Mit geringem Aufwand konnten beachtliche Erfolge erzielt werden.

description: The first direct mass-measurement of $^{6}$He has been performed with the TITAN Penning trap mass spectrometer at the ISAC facility. In addition, the mass of $^{8}$He was determined with improved precision over our previous measurement. The obtained masses are $m$($^{6}$He) = 6.018 885 883(57) u and $m$($^{8}$He) = 8.033 934 44(11) u. The $^{6}$He value shows a deviation from the literature of 4$σ$. With these new mass values and the previously measured atomic isotope shifts we obtain charge radii of 2.060(8) fm and 1.959(16) fm for $^{6}$He and $^{8}$He respectively. We present a detailed comparison to nuclear theory for $^6$He, including new hyperspherical harmonics results. A correlation plot of the point-proton radius with the two-neutron separation energy demonstrates clearly the importance of three-nucleon forces.

Hurricane Katrina (2005)

description: Background: Catastrophic disasters often are associated with massive structural, economic, and population devastation; less understood are the long-term mental health consequences. This study measures the prevalence and predictors of mental health distress and disability of hurricane survivors over an extended period of recovery in a postdisaster setting. Methods: A representative sample of 1077 displaced or greatly affected households was drawn in 2006 using a stratified cluster sampling of federally subsidized emergency housing settings in Louisiana and Mississippi, and of Mississippi census tracts designated as having experienced major damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Two rounds of data collection were conducted: a baseline face-to-face interview at 6 to 12 months post-Katrina, and a telephone follow-up at 20 to 23 months after the disaster. Mental health disability was measured using the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 12, version 2 mental component summary score. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted examining socioeconomic, demographic, situational, and attitudinal factors associated with mental health distress and disability. Results: More than half of the cohort at both baseline and follow-up reported significant mental health distress. Self-reported poor health and safety concerns were persistently associated with poorer mental health. Nearly 2 years after the disaster, the greatest predictors of poor mental health included situational characteristics such as greater numbers of children in a household and attitudinal characteristics such as fatalistic sentiments and poor self-efficacy. Informal social support networks were associated significantly with better mental health status. Housing and economic circumstances were not independently associated with poorer mental health. Conclusions: Mental health distress and disability are pervasive issues among the US Gulf Coast adults and children who experienced long-term displacement or other serious effects as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. As time progresses postdisaster, social and psychological factors may play greater roles in accelerating or impeding recovery among affected populations. Efforts to expand disaster recovery and preparedness policies to include long-term social re-engagement efforts postdisaster should be considered as a means of reducing mental health sequelae.

description: We demonstrate a simple network-analyzer technique to make quantitative measurements of the bias dependence of spin torque in a magnetic tunnel junction. We apply a microwave current to exert an oscillating spin torque near the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the tunnel junction's free layer. This produces an oscillating resistance that, together with an applied direct current, generates a microwave signal that we measure with the network analyzer. An analysis of the resonant response yields the strength and direction of the spin torque at non-zero bias. We compare to measurements of the spin torque vector by time-domain spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance.

Reading the visual : the role of picturebooks in facilitating young adult literacy
Creators: name: Thomson, Katherine Margaret Nicholson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Many studies have examined the ways in which images in picturebooks aid in the development of positive attitudes towards reading. Additionally, studies have shown the ways that illustrations in picturebooks help readers to connect with literature and to comprehend themes and concepts that might otherwise be difficult to deconstruct. This study investigated whether images in a sample of three complex picturebooks: Fox by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks, The Rabbits by John Marsden and Shaun Tan and The Island by Armin Greder might be used to support struggling readers in the secondary school classroom. Perry Nodelman’s (1988; 2003) theory of narrative art was used as a framework for a close reading of three sample texts. The decision to use this framework was based on the desire to develop a manageable framework for students that would enable them to confidently read the visual elements of complex picturebooks. Specific elements of Nodelman’s theory: format and design, mood and atmosphere, style of illustrations and visual objects were identified as being elements that can be taught and be plausibly grasped by secondary-aged readers. This study supports the notion that complex picture books provide a valuable resource for teachers to engage secondary-aged readers in critical thought through analysis of the images in these texts.

description: Urbanization of a watershed increases impervious area, and consequently increases stormwater runoff. When left uncontrolled, these increases in stormwater runoff cause downstream flooding, accelerate channel erosion, and impair aquatic habitat. Increases in the magnitude and duration of stormwater runoff that accompany uncontrolled development allow a stream to carry more sediment than it could prior to watershed development. When a watershed cannot supply the stream with the volume of sediment it has the capacity to carry, channel degradation may occur in the form of incision, lateral migration, or a combination of both. This study evaluates the potential impact of watershed development on sediment transport in a prototype headwater stream subjected to typical residential development. Event based and continuous simulations, using 50 years of hourly rainfall records were performed with two climatically different locales. The first in the semiarid climate of Fort Collins, Colorado and the other in a typical southeastern climate, Atlanta, Georgia. Five conditions were evaluated for the study watershed, including: current (undeveloped) conditions, fully developed conditions, without stormwater controls, and fully developed conditions with stormwater controlled using (a) the City of Fort Collins flood control standard, (b) the City of Fort Collins flood control standard and water quality capture volume (WQCV) criteria, and, (c) using common standards of practice in the United States: control of the 100- and 2-year storms to historic peak discharge rates and control of the WQCV. For each scenario examined, sediment transport potential is evaluated for two noncohesive soil types: medium gravel and medium sand.

The study is made in the framework of the local potential approximation. We show that the required physical discontinuity of the magnetic susceptibility $χ(M)$ at $M=\pm M_0$ ($M_0$ spontaneous magnetization) is reproduced only if the cut-off function which separates high and low energy modes satisfies to some restrictive explicit mathematical conditions; we stress that these conditions are not satisfied by a sharp cut-off in dimensions of space $d<4$.

The Causes of Racial Disturbances: A Comparison of Alternative Explanations

Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology
subject: African Americans

description: A range of hypotheses of varying specificity is examined in this paper in an attempt to account for the location of racial disorders during the 1960's. The initial sections consider what general assumptions must be met by any satisfactory explanation of the distribution of the disorders. Mathematical models are constructed which embody the most prevalent assumptions as to the determinants of community disorder-proneness, and their predictions are compared with empirical data. The specific assumptions considered are: (1) all cities have an identical probability of experiencing a disorder; (2) communities are heterogeneous in their underlying disorder propensities; (3) a process of reinforcement characterizes the occurrence of disorders; (4) contagion among communities contributes to the distribution of racial disturbances. Only the heterogeneity assumption is supported by the data. The concluding sections consider the explanatory abilities of several additional theories, each of which assumes the importance of particular community characteristics. All are rejected in favor of an explanation which argues that the racial disorders of the 1960's were responses to frustrations which are uniformly felt by Negroes, irrespective of their community situations.
Adam's Mirror: The Frontier in the Imperial Imagination

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: World history

description: To the centre of any empire, the frontier is a site of anxiety, of potential harm, of barbarians who could be marching towards the gate. The imperial imaginations of the medieval Arab dynasties, the colonial British, and now the United States have been dominated by this anxiety. We have to plant our historiographical feet in the frontier space of present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and north India to see the concerns which emerge from within a regional imagination, in a regionally specific conversation and in regional stories. Situating ourselves in the frontier reveals varied perspectives that are invisible to the imperial eye. To pay attention to the localised production of history and memory is to decontextualise the only context that appears relevant -- the imperial one. This shift in perspective reveals that the oft-designated "frontier" has a centrality all of its own.

description: An attempt to achieve a high level of interaction between a real-time vision system capable of tracking moving objects in 3-D and a robot arm with gripper that can be used to pick up a moving object is described. The interplay of hand-eye coordination in dynamic grasping tasks such as grasping of parts on a moving conveyor system, assembly of articulated parts, or for grasping from a mobile robotic system is explored. The goal is to build an integrated sensing and actuation system that can operate in dynamic as opposed to static environments. The system built addresses three distinct problems in using robotic hand-eye coordination for grasping moving objects: fast computation of 3-D motion parameters from vision, predictive control of a moving robotic arm to track a moving object, and interception and grasping. The system operates at approximately human arm movement rates. Experimental results in which a moving model train is tracked, stably grasped, and picked up by the system are presented. The algorithms developed to relate sensing to actuation are quite general and applicable to a variety of complex robotic tasks.

description: ERV accurate calculations of the energies of the 1s2 1S and 1s2s3S states of helium have been made recently. It is now possible to consider the contributions of relativistic and electrodynamic effects to the observed ionization energies in a meaningful way. These small effects must still be added to the large calculated nonrelativistic energy, however, before a comparison with experiment can be made. In the 3P states, the spin-dependent part of the theoretical electromagnetic interaction of the two electrons can be compared directly with observed fine-structure splittings. Recent improvements in the experimental accuracy of the fine-structure measurements, 45 particularly the direct observation of the splittings as radio-frequency transitions, have made such a comparison possible to an order of accuracy including higher order electrodynamic corrections to the usual fine structure formulas.

description: Pinellia cordata (Araceae) is a perennial herb species distributed in China and Japan. Several studies have shown that there are two types of this species, and chromosome counts have shown irregular variation among populations. In this study, we investigated the morphological characteristics, established the chromosome number in root tips, reconstructed phylogenetic relationship based on whole chloroplast genomes, and elucidated biogeographic patterns based on data collected from the Chinese Virtual Herbarium (CVH) and the Plant Photo Bank of China (PPBC) for the two types of P. cordata, including type I (greenish leaf blade) and type II (colored leaf blade). We found stable significant differences in morphometric characteristics (color of the leaf blade abaxially, petiole, spathe, and appendix) and the number of chromosomes. The results of the phylogenetic analysis showed that types I and II were located in different places in the evolutionary tree compared to the group. The distribution regions of these types of P. cordata were also slightly different in Mainland China. These findings suggested that P. cordata should be divided into P. cordata (Type I) and P. discolor (Type II, a cryptic species), and the latter is here described as a new species.

description: Morphometric analyses: Mature individuals during sexual reproductive stage (43 for Pinellia cordata and 52 for P. discolor, from the end of March to the middle of May, 2021) were used to determine 44 morphological characteristics. Statistical analysis should be carried out with Excel 2010® based on 18 quantitative traits among these 44 determined characteristics. Chromosome numbering: Root tips were used to chromosome preparation: stained and crushed in carbol fuchsin, and then were observed and photographed (Olympus® BX53) (Liu et al., 1987). Chloroplast genome analysis and phylogenetic analyses: The complete chloroplast genome annotation (Tillich et al., 2017) and SSRs analysis (Thiel et al., 2003) for P. discolor were carried out. Furthermore, whole chloroplast genome comparision between P. discolor and P. cordata (MT863558, Luo et al., 2021) were executed on the basis of re-annotation. Biogeographic pattern analysis: Chinese Virtual Herbarium (CVH, https://www.cvh.ac.cn/) and Plant Photo Bank of China (PPBC, http://ppbc.iplant.cn/) were used to collected geographic distribution information of P. cordata and P. discolor in field.
Quantum spin pumping mediated by magnon

description: We theoretically propose quantum spin pumping mediated by magnons, under a time-dependent transverse magnetic field, at the interface between a ferromagnetic insulator and a non-magnetic metal. The generation of a spin current under a thermal equilibrium condition is discussed by calculating the spin transfer torque, which breaks the spin conservation law for conduction electrons and operates the coherent magnon state. Localized spins lose spin angular momentum by emitting magnons and conduction electrons flip from down to up by absorbing the momentum. The spin transfer torque has a resonance structure as a function of the angular frequency of the applied transverse field. This fact is useful to enhance the spin pumping effect induced by quantum fluctuations. We also discuss the distinction between our quantum spin pumping theory and the one proposed by Tserkovnyak et al.

description: Iteration functions for the approximation of zeros of a polynomial P are usually given as explicit functions of P and its derivatives. We introduce a class of iteration functions which are themselves constructed according to a certain algorithm given below. The construction of the iteration functions requires only simple polynomial manipulation which may be performed on a computer.
Generalized Sequences with Applications to the Discrete Calculus

description: Mikusinski [17] has introduced a theory of generalized functions which is algebraic in nature. Generalized functions are introduced in a way which is analogous to the extension of the concept of number from integers to rationals. In this paper, an analogous theory of "generalized sequences" is constructed for the discrete calculus. This theory serves a dual purpose. It provides a rigorous foundation for an operational calculus and provides a powerful formalism for the solution of discrete problems.

description: To every polynomial P of degree n we associate a sequence of n-1 polynomials of increasing degree which we call the associated polynomials of P. The associated polynomials depend in a particularly simple way on the coefficients of P. These polynomials have appeared in many guises in the literature, usually related to some particular application and most often going unrecognized. They have been called Horner polynomials and Laguerre polynomials. Often what occurs is not an associated polynomial itself but a number which is an associated polynomial evaluated at a zero of P. The properties of associated polynomials have never been investigated in themselves. We shall try to demonstrate that associated polynomials provide a useful unifying concept. Although many of the results of this paper are new, we shall also present known results in our framework.

description: One of the main problems in cryptography is to give criteria to provide good comparators of cipher systems. The security of a cipher system must include the security of the algorithm, the security of the key generator and management module (see [BM94], [CM97],[Mau92a]) and the security of the cryptographic key agreement protocol (see [Mau93a],[MC94],[Mau93b],[Mau92b]). This paper gives show the necessary mathematical background to estimate the most important cryptographic measures of the key generators and of the unconditionally key agreement protocols. These cryptographic measures are the Shannon entropy (for the key generator module) and Renyi entropy of order alpha for the key agreement protocol.
