description: Der in Deutschland geborene Sohn türkischer Einwanderer und bei Bamberg wohnende Schriftsteller Nevfel Cumart und der historisch interessierte Kernphysiker Ulrich Waas veröffentlichten für die Schriftenreihe der Georges-Anawati-Stiftung ein grundlegendes historisches und kulturvergleichendes Werk über die Entwicklungen, Auseinandersetzungen und Befruchtungen zwischen Ost und West, Orient und Okzident, Morgenland und Abendland. Solide geschichtliche und politisch-religiöse Informationen ersetzen die verbreiteten Klischees im Umgang mit dem Thema. Ein pauschaler »Kampf der Kulturen« (Samuel P. Huntington) wird argumentativ widerlegt mit dem Hinweis auf einen sowohl in der islamischen, als auch der westlichen Welt verbreiteten »Kampf der gewaltbereiten Extremisten gegen diejenigen, die Vernunft und Menschenrechte propagieren« (S. 122). Die Autoren holen weit aus mit der Beschreibung der Frühgeschichte des Kulturtransfers von Vorderasien nach Europa. Anatolien liegt dabei mitten im fruchtbaren Halbmond des Nahen Ostens. Aus dieser Entwicklung entstand auch der Islam als wissenschaftliche und religiöse Hochkultur, die lange dem Westen überlegen war. Dieses bis Spanien reichende arabische Goldene Zeitalter des Islam begründete im Hochmittelalter einen Vorsprung vor der westlich-lateinischen Kultur. Nach dem Verlust der kulturellen Zentren – Cordoba im Westen 1236 durch die Eroberung König Ferdinands III. und Bagdad im Osten 1258 nach der Zerstörung durch die Mongolen – setzte eine Stagnation ein.

description: Nach einem einleitenden Überblick der hoch verdienten Herausgeberin versucht Jonathan Boyarin, Geschichte, Gegenwart und (mit Fragezeichen) Zukunft der jüdischen Familie zu skizzieren. Alfred Bodenheimer beugt sich über die – traditionell sehr starke – Rolle der orthodoxen Väter im postpatriarchalen Zeitalter, das auch in höchst konservativen Kreisen spürbar ist. Der Verfasser fragt aber auch, was ein in jüdischen Dingen gar nicht bewanderter Mann, der Vater wird und sein Kind jüdisch erziehen will, entdecken könnte, wenn er sein Judentum intellektuell oder emotional zurückholt. Dazwischen entfaltet Museumsdirektor Hanno Loewy mit großem Wis- sen und gewohnter Brillanz die Geschichte der Familie Hirschfeld aus Hohenems, die zu einem erheblichen Teil dem Judentum nicht mehr angehört, sich aber in der Heimat zu versammeln pflegt. Später erfährt man von Ellen Presser manches über jüdische Ehevorschriften und Hochzeitsbräuche, aber auch Probleme von Überlebenden, und fast am Ende arbeitet der zwischen Berlin und Tel Aviv pendelnde Journalist Assaf Uni den Kontrast zwischen Israel und Deutschland heraus, was den Kinderwunsch angeht, indem er aufzeigt, was Israelis sich Samen- bzw. Eizellenspenden (worauf auch Bodenheimer eingeht) kosten lassen. In fast allen zehn übrigen Beiträgen geht es um Überlebende und ihre Nachkommen. Diane L. Wolf war als Kleinkind in Holland versteckt; die Begegnung mit den überlebenden Eltern bedeutete einen Schock. Susanne Urban berichtet über ihre Arbeit beim International Tracing Service in Aroldsen; berührenden Erfolgsgeschichten steht die Trauer über die immer noch großen Lücken gegenüber. Michael Wuliger war auf vergeblicher Spurensuche in Kisvarda (Kleinwardein), einst ein (jüdischer) Ort, jetzt ein »Irgendwo im Nirgendwo «. Die hochdramatisch erfundene Lebensgeschichte eines Überlebenden und die trotzdem erarbeitete Entdeckung ihrer selbst schildert Jennifer Bligh. Die Hamburger Familientherapeutin Patricia Paweletz, deren Großvater bei der Waffen-SS gewesen war, stellt ihre Methode der Familienrekonstruktion dar und berichtet bewegend über ihren Besuch bei Überlebenden in New York.

description: We present radial and rotation (v sini) velocity measurements, from UVES+VLT high resolution spectra of 61 stars in the blue horizontal branches (HB) of the Galactic globular clusters NGC 1904 (M79), NGC 2808, NGC 6093 (M80), and NGC 7078 (M15). The data reduction and the velocity determination, based on cross-correlation techniques, are discussed in detail. Most of this database has been used by Recio-Blanco et al. (2002) in their analysis of the rotation velocity properties of blue HB stars. Here we present additional data for NGC 2808. We confirm the results of the previous paper, in particular, a possible link between the HB jump and the abrupt change in the rotational velocity distribution around Teff ~ 11,500 K.

description: The RNN transducer is a promising end-to-end model candidate. We compare the original training criterion with the full marginalization over all alignments, to the commonly used maximum approximation, which simplifies, improves and speeds up our training. We also generalize from the original neural network model and study more powerful models, made possible due to the maximum approximation. We further generalize the output label topology to cover RNN-T, RNA and CTC. We perform several studies among all these aspects, including a study on the effect of external alignments. We find that the transducer model generalizes much better on longer sequences than the attention model. Our final transducer model outperforms our attention model on Switchboard 300h by over 6% relative WER.

description: Matthias Köckert legt in der Reihe Biblische Gestalten eine außerordentlich informative Monographie vor. Die biblischen Texte werden ausgehend von Fokussierungen der Erzähltechnik in ihrer Eigenart, in der Logik des Erzählens und in der Gesamtkonzeption von Genesis präzise vorgestellt und so für die Erschließung im schulischem Unterricht und in der Gemeindearbeit bestens zugänglich gemacht. Besonders gelungen ist die Darstellung der Abraham- Figur in der Wirkungsgeschichte: die Rezeption im Ersten Testament, im Judentum, intertextuelle Phänomene im NT und im Koran werden in der zweiten Hälfte des Buches differenziert nach Quellen, Perspektiven, Funktionen und Erzählungen entfaltet. Der Autor verweist im Nachwort mit Recht auf die Bedeutung der Abraham-Figur für den interreligiösen Dialog. Den Rang der Darstellung macht jedoch aus, dass diese Intention dem Thema nicht übergestülpt wird, sondern auf mehr als 200 Seiten an den Texten aus Judentum, Christentum und Islam aufgezeigt wird.

description: We consider Double Quintessence models for which the Dark Energy sector consists of two coupled scalar fields. We study in particular the possibility to have a transient acceleration in these models. In both Double Quintessence models studied here, it is shown that if acceleration occurs, it is necessarily transient. We consider also the possibility to have transient acceleration in two one-field models, the Albrecht-Skordis model and the pure exponential. Using separate conservative constraints (marginalizing over the other parameters) on the effective equation of state $w_{eff}$, the relative density of the Dark Energy $Ω_{Q,0}$ and the present age of the universe, we construct scenarios with a transient acceleration that has already ended at the present time, and even with no acceleration at all, but a less conservative analysis using the CMB data rules out the last possibility. The scenario with a transient acceleration ended by today, can be implemented for the range of cosmological parameters $Ω_{m,0}\gtrsim 0.35$ and $h\lesssim 0.68$.

description: Orr Scharf hat grundlegende Texte aus dem Werk Martin Bubers zum jüdisch-christlichen Dialog im vorliegenden Band der Martin-Buber-Werkausgabe zusammengestellt. Die berühmte Schrift Bubers Zwei Glaubensweisen (1950; MBW 9) fußt auf den 1933/1934 von Buber am Jüdischen Lehrhaus in Frankfurt a. M. gehaltenen Vorträgen bzw. Vorlesungen über Judentum und Christentum. Diese liegen nun in kürzerer und längerer Fassung bzw. in Mitschriften vor. Zentrale Begriffe wie Glauben, Erlösung, Messianismus werden von Buber in Bezug auf beide Glaubensgemeinschaften diskutiert, Gemeinsamkeiten und vor allem Unterschiede herausgearbeitet. Buber wehrt sich vehement gegen ein sich imperial gebendes und verstehendes Christentum, das zentrale Glaubenslehren des biblisch-antiken Judentums für sich reklamiert und das zugleich auch die jahrhundertealte Trennlinie zwischen Synagoge und Ekklesia scharf markiert (S. 11). Der christlichen »Enterbungstheologie« gilt Bubers massive Kritik, die er aber nicht in »apologetischer Haltung « kritisiert, sondern in der präzisen Herausarbeitung der Grundlinien des biblischen Christentums in den synoptischen Evangelien und des biblischen Judentums. Die gemeinsamen Ursprünge dieser biblischen Grundlinien zwischen Judentum und Christentum seien das zentrale Glaubensanliegen, das sowohl durch ägyptische, gnostische und auch hellenistische Einflüsse gestört würde. Emuna (Glaube) sei, so Buber in der ersten Vorlesungsreihe über »Glauben«, nicht vergleichbar mit dem hellenistisch-griechischen Begriff Pistis, das im Deutschen ebenfalls mit Glauben wiedergegeben werde. Die jüdische Glaubensauffassung sei auch von den synoptischen Evangelien aufgenommen, dagegen sei die griechisch-hellenistische Fassung eher im Johannesevangelium und in den Paulusbriefen zu finden.

description: Auf den 11.– 14. Juni 1919, kurz nach Pfingsten, lud Martin Buber eine Anzahl »von Leuten […], die mit der Erneuerung des Erziehungswesens in Deutschland Ernst machen wollen«, zu einer Zusammenkunft an seinen damaligen Wohnort Heppenheim a. d. Bergstraße ein.2 Dem mit ihm befreundeten schlesischen Schriftsteller Hermann Stehr schrieb er am 21. April zur Organisation der Zusammenkunft: »Da auch Regierungsmitglieder dabei sind, ist anzunehmen, daß die Beschlüsse der Tagung bald verwirklicht werden können. Da es sich um wirkliche Verständigung und Arbeitsbeginn handelt, ist die Veranstaltung nichtöffentlich und mehr in der Form des Gesprächs als der Versammlungsdiskussion gedacht. Immerhin soll die Aussprache über die einzelnen Einrichtungen – die bestehenden und die zu schaffenden – durch kurze Darlegungen eingeleitet werden; nicht von Fachleuten im üblichen Sinn, sondern von solchen, die Wesentliches zu diesen Dingen zu sagen haben.« 3 Er, Buber, selbst, habe »das Referat über die Volkshochschule, d. h. nicht die gegenwärtige, sondern eine wirkliche, übernommen.« Dreißig Jahre später, in einem Brief an Louis Finkelstein (Jerusalem, 27.7.1949), stellt Buber die Tagung in den größeren Zusammenhang seiner jahrzehntelangen Bemühungen um die Erwachsenenbildung, die er »in ihrer ›intensiven‹ Ausprägung für eine zentrale Aufgabe unserer Zeit, und ganz besonders im Judentum« gehalten habe und noch halte. »1919 habe ich bei der geschlossenen Tagung ›Zur Erneuerung der Erziehung‹, die in Heppenheim stattfand und bei der viele Deutsche anwesend waren, die später den Geisteskampf gegen die Hitlerei zu führen versucht haben, den Hauptvortrag über diesen Gegenstand gehalten. « 4 Bubers vermutlich briefliche Einladung an Ernst Michel (geb. 1889) zur Teilnahme an der Heppenheimer Tagung, und damit das erste Dokument des fast 45 Jahre währenden, sehr bald freundschaftlichen und vielfältigen Kontaktes, ist nicht überliefert.5 In Michels schon mit dem Jahr 1917 abbrechender autobiographischer Skizze6 ist von Buber noch nicht die Rede.

Universal approach to quantum thermodynamics of strongly coupled systems under nonequilibrium conditions and external driving

description: We present an approach based on a density matrix expansion to study thermodynamic properties of a quantum system strongly coupled to two or more baths. For slow external driving of the system, we identify the adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions to thermodynamic quantities, and we show how the first and second laws of thermodynamics are manifested in the strong coupling regime. Particularly, we show that the entropy production is positive up to second order in the driving speed. The formulation can be applied both for Bosonic and Fermionic systems, and recovers previous results for the equilibrium case (Phys. Rev. B 98, 134306 [2018]). The approach is then demonstrated for the driven resonant level model as well as the driven Anderson impurity model, where the hierarchical quantum master equation method is used to accurately simulate the nonequilibrium quantum dynamics.

description: We show that the nonperturbative decay of ultralight scalars into Abelian gauge bosons, recently proposed as a possible solution to the Hubble tension, produces a stochastic background of gravitational waves which is constrained by the cosmic microwave background. We simulate the full nonlinear dynamics of resonant dark photon production and the associated gravitational wave production, finding the signals to exceed constraints for the entire parameter space we consider. Our findings suggest that gravitational wave production from the decay of early dark energy may provide a unique probe of these models.

title: Characterisation Of The Blazhko Effect In RR Lyrae Stars Using SuperWASP Data
Creators: name: Greer, Paul A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis investigates the characteristics of the Blazhko effect using data from the SuperWASP archive. The SuperWASP instrument combines wide-field coverage with a short cadence, providing time-series analysis on a range of timescales for a large number of stars. The Blazhko effect is the amplitude and frequency modulation of RR Lyrae variable pulsating stars. Its physical causes are still unexplained by stellar structure and evolution models. The stellar pulsation mechanism and modulation are introduced before comparing the WASP project to other wide-field surveys. The aim of this research is to identify correlations between the basic pulsation and Blazhko effect characteristics that may provide clues to its origins. To accomplish this, the Blazhko effect is investigated in temporal, frequency and phase spaces. A catalogue of 4963 RRab class RR Lyrae objects was created through the classification of phase-folded light curves. Blazhko periods were calculated for 18 out of 20 highly modulated objects by phase-folding the amplitude modulation induced upper envelope function of their light curves. 983 Blazhko objects have been identified using coincident low frequency peaks and sidebands, or equidistant sidepeaks, in frequency spectra created using the CLEAN algorithm. Analysis of pulsation and Blazhko attributes within this large sample shows no correlation between them. 140 Blazhko candidates were also identified by short-term periodic trends in their O-C diagrams. This phase domain analysis also led to the identification of 17 candidates for rare binary objects, due to their sinusoidal O-C curves. 73 objects had quadratic O-C curves, suggesting binary candidates with periods longer than the duration of SuperWASP observations. The classification and investigation of Blazhko effect and binary candidates contained herein provide the opportunity for further study with both existing, and future, ground- and space-based missions such as Gaia, the LSST and PLATO.
Adaptive Influence Maximization: If Influential Node Unwilling to Be the Seed

description: Influence maximization problem attempts to find a small subset of nodes that makes the expected influence spread maximized, which has been researched intensively before. They all assumed that each user in the seed set we select is activated successfully and then spread the influence. However, in the real scenario, not all users in the seed set are willing to be an influencer. Based on that, we consider each user associated with a probability with which we can activate her as a seed, and we can attempt to activate her many times. In this paper, we study the adaptive influence maximization with multiple activations (Adaptive-IMMA) problem, where we select a node in each iteration, observe whether she accepts to be a seed, if yes, wait to observe the influence diffusion process; If no, we can attempt to activate her again with a higher cost or select another node as a seed. We model the multiple activations mathematically and define it on the domain of integer lattice. We propose a new concept, adaptive dr-submodularity, and show our Adaptive-IMMA is the problem that maximizing an adaptive monotone and dr-submodular function under the expected knapsack constraint. Adaptive dr-submodular maximization problem is never covered by any existing studies. Thus, we summarize its properties and study its approximability comprehensively, which is a non-trivial generalization of existing analysis about adaptive submodularity. Besides, to overcome the difficulty to estimate the expected influence spread, we combine our adaptive greedy policy with sampling techniques without losing the approximation ratio but reducing the time complexity. Finally, we conduct experiments on several real datasets to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed policies.

description: The spectroscopic analysis of 117 serendipitous sources in the HELLAS2XMM 1df (1 degree field) survey is described. Of these, 106 sources, of which 86% have a spectroscopic redshift, are used to evaluate the fraction of X-ray absorbed (log NH>22) Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the 2--10 keV flux range 0.8-20E-14 erg/cm2/s. This fraction turns out lower than what is predicted by two well known Cosmic X-Ray Background synthesis models, and the discrepancy is significant at the 99.999% level. This result consolidates the findings recently obtained by other authors. In the flux interval explored, the data are consistent with an intrinsic distribution of the absorbing columns (flat per decade above logNH>21) independent of luminosity and redshift, together with an AGN luminosity function evolving purely in luminosity. It is shown that, on the other hand, extrapolation to lower fluxes fails to reproduce the results inferred from the Chandra Deep Field North survey. It is found that about 40% of the high luminosity sources in our sample have best fit logNH>22, and the surface density of these X-ray obscured QSOs can then be estimated at about 48 per square degree, at the flux limit of ~1E-14} erg/cm2/s of the HELLAS2XMM 1df survey. As a side issue, 5 or 6 out of 60 sources, that is about 10%, identified with broad line AGN, turn out to be affected by logNH>22 absorption.

description: Decoupled hidden sectors can easily and generically result in a period of cannibal domination, during which the dominant component of the Universe has an equation of state intermediate between radiation and matter due to self-heating by number-changing interactions. We present for the first time the consequences of a cannibal-dominated era prior to big bang nucleosynthesis for structure formation on small scales. We find that an early cannibal-dominated era imprints a characteristic peak on the dark matter power spectrum, with scale and amplitude directly determined by the mass, lifetime, and number-changing interaction strength of the cannibal field. This enhancement to the small-scale matter power spectrum will generate early-forming dark matter microhalos, and we provide a detailed and transparent map between the properties of the cannibal species and the characteristic mass and formation time of these structures. These relations demonstrate how the internal workings of a hidden sector leave a potentially observable imprint on the matter power spectrum even if dark matter has no direct couplings to the Standard Model.

description: We numerically study the impact-induced hardening in dense suspensions. We employ the lattice Boltzmann method and perform simulations of dense suspensions under impacts, which incorporate the contact between suspended particles with the free surface of the suspension. Our simulation for a free-falling impactor on a dense suspension reproduces experimental results, where rebound takes place for frictional particles at high-speed impact and high volume fraction shortly after the impact before subsequently sinking. We found that the shear stress of the suspension is not affected by the impact, which clearly distinguishes the impact-induced hardening from the discontinuous shear thickening. Instead, we found the existence of a localized region with distinctively high value of normal stress corresponding to the dynamically jammed region. Our simulation indicates that the frictional interaction between suspended particles is important for the impact-induced hardening to maintain the dynamically jammed region. Furthermore, persistent homology analysis successfully elucidates the topological structure of force chains.

description: In English, prosody adds a broad range of information to segment sequences, from information structure (e.g. contrast) to stylistic variation (e.g. expression of emotion). However, when learning to control prosody in text-to-speech voices, it is not clear what exactly the control is modifying. Existing research on discrete representation learning for prosody has demonstrated high naturalness, but no analysis has been performed on what these representations capture, or if they can generate meaningfully-distinct variants of an utterance. We present a phrase-level variational autoencoder with a multi-modal prior, using the mode centres as "intonation codes". Our evaluation establishes which intonation codes are perceptually distinct, finding that the intonation codes from our multi-modal latent model were significantly more distinct than a baseline using k-means clustering. We carry out a follow-up qualitative study to determine what information the codes are carrying. Most commonly, listeners commented on the intonation codes having a statement or question style. However, many other affect-related styles were also reported, including: emotional, uncertain, surprised, sarcastic, passive aggressive, and upset.

description: Incentive based policies can play an important role in improve agricultural sustainability. This paper applies a Choice Experiment approach to elicit small scale farmers’ preferences for a potential policy scheme. Latent class models were used to analyse the farmers’ responses to investigate their preferences, heterogeneity in preferences and the willingness to accept compensations. The results revealed that farmers are willing to participate however; overall they show an aversion to drastic changes in their farming activities. The analysis suggested that majority of the farmers preferred schemes with shorter contract lengths and moderate reduction in chemical use. Furthermore, the study also informs policy makers by identifying the farm and farmer characteristics that influence farmers’ behaviour.
Nepotistic nosiness : inclusive fitness and vigilance of kin's romantic relationships
Creators: name: Faulkner, Jason Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: People often express concern over their kin's romantic relationship outcomes. Evolutionary psychological reasoning, informed by inclusive fitness logic, implies several testable predictions about the conditions under which people will devote greater vigilance to their kin's romantic relationships. Four studies presented in this dissertation tested these novel predictions. Results of all four studies revealed that, as predicted, people are more vigilant of their genetically closer kin. Additional findings that emerged from one of these studies suggested that this effect is mediated by the perception of characteristics in kin that, at a heuristic level, connote genetic relatedness. Results of these studies provided evidence partially supporting predicted sex differences in relationship vigilance. Three studies indicated that women are more vigilant of their kin's relationships than men. Three studies also indicated that people are more vigilant of their female kin's relationships, compared to their male kin's relationships, but only under conditions for which greater inclusive fitness consequences are likely at stake. One study also tested and provided support for the prediction that people are relatively more vigilant of their kin's long-term, committed romantic relationships. Two additional studies tested predictions derived from inclusive fitness logic about the preferences that people hold for their kin's romantic partners. Both studies provided some evidence suggesting that, as predicted, people hold different preferences for their male and female kin's partners. One of these studies also tested and supported the prediction that people hold their kin's long-term romantic partners to relatively higher standards. These findings suggest that people's concerns about their kin's romantic relationships are the product of several factors not considered in previous research. These findings also imply that a subtle form of nepotism is reflected in the vigilance that people hold over their kin's relationships.
What Makes Commodity Prices Move Together? An Answer From A Dynamic Factor Model

description: This paper aims to investigate the common movement of commodity prices. Two alternative hypotheses explaining the origin and nature of this common movement are put forward: the interdependence and the common latent factor hypotheses. This latter is assessed by specifying a DF/FAVAR model whose latent factors move around a zero-mean short-term level and a non-stationary long-run equilibrium level, respectively. Four heterogeneous and mostly unrelated commodities are considered (crude oil, copper, wheat, beef). Using IMF monthly prices over the 1980:1-2016:4 period, a Kalman Filter ML estimation is performed and results suggest that, beside the increasing price volatility, the last decade experienced a significant rise of the long-term equilibrium price. Some implications of this major result are also discussed

description: Dominique Bourel hat mit seiner Buber-Biografie nicht nur ein akribisch recherchiertes, sondern auch ein herausragendes Buch vorgelegt. Der Untertitel des Werkes »Was es heißt, ein Mensch zu sein« ist deswegen bedeutsam, weil Dominique Bourel sich an wesentlichen Begriffen der Buberschen Philosophie orientiert: Begegnung, Beziehung, Vergegnung, Dialog, Heiliger Weg, Geheimnis u.a. In 35 Kapiteln entfaltet der Autor das Leben Martin Bubers und seine Verteidigung des jüdischen Glaubens im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert, was immerhin »den Zusammenbruch von vier Monarchien, zwei Weltkriege, die jüdische Tragödie und den israelischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg« umfasst (S. 14) – dazu eine Materialfülle unermesslichen Ausmaßes, die Dominique Bourel für Lesende ungeheuer spannend erzählen kann. Die Arbeit an diesem Band dauerte mehr als 20 Jahre, und herausgekommen ist ein unsagbar wertvolles Buch, das den Lesenden von der ersten Seite an in den Bann zieht und nicht mehr loslässt. Bedeutsam ist auch, dass Dominique Bourel seine Biografie entlang der Buberschen Dokumente entwickelt und so dem Schaffen Bubers einen Vorrang einräumt (S. 16) und ihn als »Hüter der Menschlichkeit« (S. 22) lebendig werden lässt. Martin Buber wurde am 8.2.1878 in Wien geboren und ist am 13.6.1965 in Jerusalem gestorben: »Ich habe keine Lehre, aber ich führe ein Gespräch« (S. 691; Martin Buber: Aus einer philosophischen Rechenschaft, in: Neue Rundschau Jg. 72, 1961, Heft 3 bzw. Werke, Band 1, S. 1114). Der Vater, Carl, stammte aus Lemberg, die Mutter Elise aus Odessa. 1879 verlässt die Mutter die eheliche Wohnung und Buber wird zu den Großeltern nach Lemberg gebracht. Der Großvater Salomon war ein bekannter Ausleger von Talmud- und Midraschtexten. Lemberg war zu dieser Zeit eine multikulturelle Metropole, das Geistesleben vielschichtig und für den kleinen Martin äußerst anregend (S. 31). Buber lernte über seinen Großvater und im alltäglichen Erleben verschiedene Strömungen des zeitgenössischen Judentums kennen, so den osteuropäischen Chassidismus, die jüdische Orthodoxie, das konservative Judentum und auch das aufgeklärte liberale Judentum, das aus der Haskala, der jüdischen Aufklärung entwachsen ist (S. 32). Am 8.2.1891 findet Bubers Bar- Mitzwa zu Hos 2, 21 statt. 1892 kehrt der Vater Carl nach Lemberg zurück, und Buber lebt hinfort bei Vater und Stiefmutter (S. 35). Die Großmutter Bubers, Adele Buber, ist vielseitig interessiert und gebildet und liest z.B. heimlich die Zeitschrift Friedrich Schillers (Die Horen).

title: Myth In Reception: Insights From Stourhead Gardens
Creators: name: Harrison, John Edward
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The focus of my thesis is the reception of classical myth in Georgian Britain as exemplified by responses to the garden imagery at Stourhead, Wiltshire. Previous explanations have tended to the view that the gardens were designed to recapitulate Virgil’s Aeneid. However, the garden owner, Henry Hoare II, left no record to substantiate this, or any other theme, and it is not mentioned in the many extant visitor accounts from the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. My approach to understanding the garden began with the systematic collection of information on the garden’s content and evolution. This endeavour yielded more than 20 further visitor reports, as well as visual and literary sources not considered in previous secondary accounts. This research has shown that the garden included a number of artefacts unknown to previous theorists. It has also shown that the true provenance and acquisition of extant garden elements is often different to that listed in the Stourhead secondary literature. I conclude that visitor reception of the gardens yields highly idiosyncratic interpretation, the emotional and cognitive content of which was largely determined by information obtained from published literature, garden guides and fellow visitors. A strong further influence on the interpretation of the gardens by some visitors was familiarity with the Roman and wider Italian influences on the garden content. I have especially considered visitor experience of the Grand Tour in this context. I propose that visits to Stourhead elicited emotional and cognitive responses from visitors. An effect of encountering the garden edifices and artefacts was to prompt memories, particularly of prior visits to the original Roman or Italian buildings and artefacts, but also of copies encountered in English landscape gardens and elsewhere.

description: We present a highly parallelisable scheme for treating functional Renormalisation Group equations which incorporates a quasi-particle-based feedback on the flow and provides direct access to real-frequency self-energy data. This allows to map out the boundaries of Fermi-liquid regimes and to study the effect of quasi-particle degradation near Fermi liquid instabilities. As a first application, selected results for the two-dimensional half-filled perfectly nested Hubbard model are shown.

description: Automatic pronunciation error detection (APED) plays an important role in the domain of language learning. As for the previous ASR-based APED methods, the decoded results need to be aligned with the target text so that the errors can be found out. However, since the decoding process and the alignment process are independent, the prior knowledge about the target text is not fully utilized. In this paper, we propose to use the target text as an extra condition for the Transformer backbone to handle the APED task. The proposed method can output the error states with consideration of the relationship between the input speech and the target text in a fully end-to-end fashion.Meanwhile, as the prior target text is used as a condition for the decoder input, the Transformer works in a feed-forward manner instead of autoregressive in the inference stage, which can significantly boost the speed in the actual deployment. We set the ASR-based Transformer as the baseline APED model and conduct several experiments on the L2-Arctic dataset. The results demonstrate that our approach can obtain 8.4\% relative improvement on the $F_1$ score metric.
