Platforms for Dwelling

description: Under contemporary capitalism and platform urbanism, domesticity distorts to take on new forms. Dwelling is simultaneously decentralised and re-distributed via digital and urban networks. This article argues that these new forms of dwelling necessitate new modes of critique – ones primed for this networked, spatially distributed condition. It proposes to supplement typological and topographical approaches to dwelling with the more ‘anexactly rigorous’ relational cartography offered by the field of topology. The article begins with an outline of topology, drawing on mathematics, philosophy and geography towards a reconceptualisation of architecture as a boundary-drawing apparatus. The topological condition of modern dwelling is then retraced as a genealogy of interpenetrating edifices, mediating membranes, and prosthetic equipment, which have prefigured present-day formations of domesticity. The second half of the article trains this topological lens onto three architectural tendencies in response to platform urbanism: convivial arrangements of networked living, commoning platforms and thresholds, and counter-protocols of distributed domesticity. Through unpacking these trajectories, the article illustrates the potential that a topological approach engenders via new modes of mapping, critiquing, resisting and subverting the unequally distributed agency and power underlying the circuits of platform urbanism.

description: Excerpts from the paper: This document first details the data bank and variable naming conventions adopted by the Forecast Support Group (FSG) of the Commodity Economics Division, ERS to facilitate its data related operations on the Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates/Boeing Computer Services, Inc. (WEFA/Boeing) System and then provides a directory of the variables currently residing on its banks. The data being placed on the WEFA/BOEING System are comprised essentially of U.S. domestic prices and supply and disappearance statistics and other statistics to support the FSG models. Emphasis is being placed on collection of U.S. aggregate statistics with state, region, and city data placed on the system as required for empirical work. Specialized data for analytical support of individual program areas within CED has also been loaded into the system. Foreign data has been placed on the banks only on an as needed basis. The following discussion details the FSG's data bank and variable names, descriptions, units and source for each variable on the three historic data banks.
Materiality, Authority, and Digital Religion: The Case of a Neo-Pagan Forum
Creators: name: Evolvi, Giulia
Publisher: name: Entangled Religions
Year: 2020

description: The study of material culture increasingly pays attention to digital religion, but there are certain aspects, such as religious authority, that remain under-researched. Some questions are still open for inquiry: What can a material approach contribute to the understanding of religious authority in digital venues? How can authority be materially displayed on the Internet? This article shows how religious authority is affected by material practices connected with digital media use through the qualitative analysis of a Neo-Pagan forum, The Celtic Connection. Neo-Pagans tend to hold a non-traditional notion of authority, accord great importance to material practices, and extensively use the Internet. The analysis of the forum suggests that Neo-Pagans use digital venues to look for informal sources of authority and strategies to embed materiality in online narratives. The article claims that it is important to develop new frameworks to analyze non-traditional authority figures and new definitions of media that include both physical objects and communication technologies.

description: The Schiff base, 3-hydroxy-4-{[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]imino}-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one, and its Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Pd(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by microanalysis, conductance, 1H NMR, infrared and electronic spectral measurements. The ligand exists in the ketoimine form in chloroform, and in the enolimine form in the solid state, as shown by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopies. The ligand coordinates to the metal ions in the ratio 1:1, using NO chromophores forming complexes of the type [MLNO3]H2O, with the exception of the Zn(II) and Pd(II) complexes. Electronic measurements are indicative of a four coordinate square-planar geometry for all the complexes, except for the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes which assume a tetrahedral geometry. None is an electrolyte in nitromethane. The ligand and the metal complexes are air–stable, but decomposed on heating at 120 °C and in the range 150-156 °C respectively. The antibacterial studies reveal that the Co(II) and the Cu(II) complexes exhibit broad-spectrum activity against Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with inhibitory zones range of 14.0-22.0 and 13.0-25.0 mm respectively. The antiproliferative studies show that the Zn(II) complex has the best in-vitro anticancer activity against both HT-29 (colon) carcinoma and MCF-7 (human breast) adenocarcinoma with IC50 values of 6.46 μm and 3.19 μm, which exceeds the activity of Cis-platin by 8 % and 63 % respectively.

description: Footprint 32 looks into the many ways the digital turn has impacted the architecture of dwelling. The issue originates from a simple observation: After the digital turn, the house as a paradigm for the discipline seemed to have gone missing from architecture debates. Recent theorisations of the digital in architecture have almost exclusively focused on new methods of production and notions of materiality alongside profound changes to the urban and social dimensions of the built environment. The question of dwelling after the digital turn leads to scrutiny of the history of the digitisation of the house and the shifting nature of domesticity, and to an exploration of involved motivations and values, oscillating between a techno-utopianism to a techno-capitalism. While the boundaries between real and virtual realms are blurred, the house and dwelling find a reconceptualisation in ecological and relational terms, thereby dissolving the house as a discrete object or entity. Privacy, autonomy, and physicality are in need of a rebalancing. Issue editors: Dirk van den Heuvel and Nelson Mota

description: The capabilities of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) to reconstruct the spatial and calorimetric information of neutrino events have made them the detectors of choice in a number of experiments, specifically those looking to observe electron neutrino ($ν_e$) appearance. The LArTPC promises excellent background rejection capabilities, especially in this "golden" channel for both short and long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We present the first experimental observation of electron neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in the ArgoNeut LArTPC, in the energy range relevant to DUNE and the Fermilab Short Baseline Neutrino Program. We have selected 37 electron candidate events and 274 gamma candidate events, and measured an 80\% purity of electrons based on a topological selection. Additionally, we present a of separation of electrons from gammas using calorimetric energy deposition, demonstrating further separation of electrons from background gammas.

description: A search with the ATLAS detector is presented for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced by vector-boson fusion and decaying to a pair of bottom quarks, using 20.2 ${fb}^{-1}$ of LHC proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV. The signal is searched for as a resonance in the invariant mass distribution of a pair of jets containing $b$-hadrons in vector-boson-fusion candidate events. The yield is measured to be $-0.8 \pm 2.3$ times the Standard Model cross-section for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV. The upper limit on the cross-section times the branching ratio is found to be 4.4 times the Standard Model cross-section at the 95% confidence level, consistent with the expected limit value of 5.4 (5.7) in the background-only (Standard Model production) hypothesis.

description: Large-scale, high-input, and intensified agriculture poses threats to sustainable agroecosystems and their inherent biodiversity. The EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) covers a great number of nature conservation programs (Agri-Environment and Climate Measures, AECM) aiming to encourage sustainable agriculture. Currently, farmers are not encouraged to broadly implement these measures due to the lack of structured information, overly complicated and unclear application procedures, and a high risk of sanctions. In addition, the current structures are associated with time-consuming monitoring and control procedures for the paying agencies. Digital technologies can offer valuable assistance to circumvent relevant barriers and limitations and support a broader uptake of AECM. NatApp is a digital tool that supports and guides farmers through the complete process of choosing, applying, implementing, and documenting AECM on their fields in accordance with legal requirements in Germany. We introduce the concept of NatApp and analyze how it can simplify and encourage the uptake and implementation of AECM. This study identifies its unique features for the provision of information and documentation opportunities compared with other digital farming tools focused on sustainable agriculture and outline how it can support farmers to actively contribute to more sustainable agriculture.
Closure properties of classes of multiple testing procedures
Creators: name: Hahn, Georg
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Statistical discoveries are often obtained through multiple hypothesis testing. A variety of procedures exists to evaluate multiple hypotheses, for instance the ones of Benjamini-Hochberg, Bonferroni, Holm or Sidak. We are particularly interested in multiple testing procedures with two desired properties: (solely) monotonic and well-behaved procedures. This article investigates to which extent the classes of (monotonic or well-behaved) multiple testing procedures, in particular the subclasses of so-called step-up and step-down procedures, are closed under basic set operations, specifically the union, intersection, difference and the complement of sets of rejected or non-rejected hypotheses. The present article proves two main results: First, taking the union or intersection of arbitrary (monotonic or well-behaved) multiple testing procedures results in new procedures which are monotonic but not well-behaved, whereas the complement or difference generally preserves neither property. Second, the two classes of (solely monotonic or well-behaved) step-up and step-down procedures are closed under taking the union or intersection, but not the complement or difference.

Imperfect fluid cosmological model in modified gravity

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this article, we considered the bulk viscous fluid in the formalism of modified gravity in which the general form of a gravitational action is $f(R, T)$ function, where $R$ is the curvature scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy momentum tensor within the frame of flat FRW space time. The cosmological model dominated by bulk viscous matter with total bulk viscous coefficient expressed as a linear combination of the velocity and acceleration of the expansion of the universe in such a way that $ξ=ξ_0+ξ_1\frac{\dot{a}}{a}+ξ_2\frac{\ddot{a}}{\dot{a}}$, where $ξ_0$, $ξ_1$ and $ξ_2$ are constants. We take $p=(γ-1)ρ$, where $0\leγ\le2$ as an equation of state for perfect fluid. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained by assuming a particular model of the form of $f(R, T)=R+2f(T)$, where $f(T)=λT$, $λ$ is constant. We studied the four possible scenarios for different values of $γ$, such as $γ=0$, $γ=\frac{2}{3}$, $γ=1$ and $γ=\frac{4}{3}$ with the possible positive and negative ranges of $λ$ to observe the accelerated expansion history of the universe. Finally, a big-rip singularity is observed.

description: Registered dietitians (RDs) subjectively assess muscle loss as part of the nutrition-focused physical examination (NFPE), using standardized malnutrition guidelines. Computed tomography (CT) scans provide an objective measure of skeletal muscle mass and adipose tissue, which can then be used to determine skeletal muscle loss and level of adiposity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between muscle assessment through the NFPE with muscle assessment through CT imaging, and how excess adiposity impacts this relationship. This study supports the use of the NFPE for muscle assessment, and suggests that excess adiposity may influence the accuracy of the NFPE.
Vaccine Hesitancy in Hispanic/Latine Undergraduate Students Aged 18+ in Miami
Creators: name: Orozco, Cristina
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: COVID-19, vaccine hesitancy, undergraduate students, Hispanic/Latine, perceptions, interviews

description: Hispanic/Latine people in the U.S. are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 (Longoria, et al., 2021) Though rates in vaccination have increased, Hispanic/Latine groups are less likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine (Longoria, et al., 2021). Further, they disproportionately present as vaccine hesitant. Students are currently at risk to develop COVID-19 due to the re-opening of in-person classes, travel between home and class, and communal living arrangements on and off campus (Sharma, et al., 2021). Consequently, the current work explores vaccine hesitancy in Hispanic/Latine, college undergraduates aged 18+ via seven semi-structured interviews. Interviews were manually coded, and emergent themes include medical mistrust and not knowing, conceptions of time, social influences, and Latinidad, fear and alternative medicine. Not knowing was the primary driver of hesitancy and came in varying forms despite vaccination status. Students felt they did not know about COVID-19 vaccine development and side effects and felt many uncertainties due to rumors and inconsistent information from the CDC. Students also felt the COVID-19 vaccine was developed too quickly, which was also seen despite vaccine statuses. Social influences from friends, family, and physicians were significant. Only non-vaccinated students cited reliance on alternative medicine as a cultural practice. Students generally would have felt more comfortable receiving the vaccine if there was more transparency and communication regarding the vaccine. There should be individual and population-based efforts to increase vaccination rates, reduce medical mistrust, and disseminate accurate health information to students of color. Dissecting the ways not knowing interacted with the other themes can work toward improving health outcomes for Hispanic/Latine students with proper cultural considerations in a post-COVID world.
Transverse-momentum resummation for Higgs boson pair production at the LHC with top-quark mass effects

description: We consider Higgs boson pair production via gluon fusion in hadronic collisions. We report the calculation of the transverse-momentum ($q_T$) distribution of the Higgs boson pair with top-quark mass ($M_t$) effects fully taken into account. At small values of $q_T$ we resum the logarithmically-enhanced perturbative QCD contributions up to next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. At intermediate and large values of $q_T$ we consistently combine resummation with the ${\cal O}(α_S^3)$ fixed-order results. After integration over $q_T$, we recover the next-to-leading order (NLO) result for the inclusive cross section with full dependence on $M_t$. We present illustrative numerical results at LHC energies, together with an estimate of the corresponding perturbative uncertainties, and we study the impact of the top-quark mass effects.

description: Energy systems with high shares of renewable energy are characterized by local variability and grid limitations. The synthesis of such energy systems, therefore, requires models with high spatial resolution. However, high spatial resolution increases the computational effort. Here, we present the SpArta method for rigorous optimization of regionally resolved energy systems by Spatial Aggregation and decomposition. SpArta significantly reduces computational effort while maintaining the full spatial resolution of sector-coupled energy systems. SpArta first reduces problem size by spatially aggregating the energy system using clustering. The aggregated problem is then relaxed and restricted to obtain a lower and an upper bound. The spatial resolution is iteratively increased until the difference between upper and lower bound satisfies a predefined optimality gap. Finally, each cluster of the aggregated problem is redesigned at full resolution. For this purpose, SpArta decomposes the original synthesis problem into subproblems for each cluster. Combining the redesigned cluster solutions yields an optimal feasible solution of the full-scale problem within a predefined optimality gap. SpArta thus optimizes large-scale energy systems rigorously with significant reductions in computational effort. We apply SpArta to a case study of the sector-coupled German energy system, reducing the computational time by a factor of 7.5, compared to the optimization of the same problem at full spatial resolution. As SpArta shows a linear increase in computational time with problem size, SpArta enables computing larger problems allowing to resolve energy system designs with improved accuracy.

description: Objective of the Study: In 1974, Ericksen (5) observed that the analyses of production capacity involved four basic factors or types of information: (1) the supply relationship in both a positive and a normative economic sense, (2) demand of both the domestic and export sectors, (3) the resource base available to U.S. agriculture and (4) the nature of technological advance in agriculture (the productivity of resources in agriculture). AGSEM provides the capability to evaluate the relationships of these four factors within the U.S. agriculture using a highly aggregate mathematical programming model. The model is designed to trace the general impacts of exogenous factors on the performance of the U.S. food and fiber sector. It is not designed to make statistically precise estimates, but rather to identify the set of impacts, indicate their directions, and provide a preliminary estimate of their magnitude. The basic procedure is to identify the nature of the exogenous factor from sources outside the project and include it in the model in the form of revised coefficients, new production processes or restrictions. The methodology thus provides capability for (1) determining the relative importance and possible impacts of a multitude of potential issues, (2) assisting in the choice of particular issues that warrant more in-depth analyses and (3) integrating the results of other research projects that are in the specific areas of supply, demand, resources and technology.

description: Coherent diffractive imaging of individual free nanoparticles has opened novel routes for the in-situ analysis of their transient structural, optical, and electronic properties. So far, single-shot single-particle diffraction was assumed to be feasible only at extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and X-ray free-electron lasers, restricting this research field to large-scale facilities. Here we demonstrate single-shot imaging of isolated helium nanodroplets using XUV pulses from a femtosecond-laser driven high harmonic source. We obtain bright wide-angle scattering patterns, that allow us to uniquely identify hitherto unresolved prolate shapes of superfluid helium droplets. Our results mark the advent of single-shot gas-phase nanoscopy with lab-based short-wavelength pulses and pave the way to ultrafast coherent diffractive imaging with phase-controlled multicolor fields and attosecond pulses.

description: We consider a biased Normal-Superconducting junction with various types of superconductivity. Depending on the class of superconductivity, a Majorana bound state may appear at the interface. We show that this has important consequences on the distribution of waiting times of electrons flowing out of such an interface. Therefore, the waiting time distribution is shown to be a clear fingerprint of Majorana bound state physics and may be considered as an experimental signature of its presence.
A Demometric Analysis of Ulpian’s Table

description: Ulpian’s table is a famous ancient text that is preserved in edited form in Justinian’s Digest, a compendium of Roman law compiled by order of the emperor Justinian I in the sixth century AD. This passage probably provides a rough estimation of Roman life expectancy in the early third century AD. The paper begins with a discussion of the demographic properties and peculiarities of Ulpian´s table. Then the Gompertz distribution and some of its extensions are used to fit life expectation functions to Ulpian´s data. The model can be used to estimate important demographic functions and parameters of the Roman life table. Inter alia, the average and median remaining life expectancies are calculated, and compared with the results of other investigations, e.g., Frier’s life table for the Roman Empire. It turns out that Ulpian´s life table is characterized by a steep decline of the life expectancy function in the advanced age classes, which is much steeper than in life expectancy functions of other life tables based on data. The modal or normal age at death, which is between 55 and 60 years, is comparatively high.

description: Die Diagnostik der Aussprachestörungen von mehrsprachigen Kindern stellt Sprachtherapeuten vor Herausforderungen. Ein Grund dafür ist das fehlende Wissen „über die Interferenz der phonologischen Systeme der Erst- und Zweitsprache“ (Kannengieser, 2012, zitiert nach Neumann, Meinusch, Verdon & McLeod, 2016, S. 166). Um zwischen phonetisch-phonologisch auffälligen und unauffälligen mehrsprachigen Kindern unterscheiden zu können, kann eine systematische Gegenüberstellung von Lautsystemen für Fachpersonen hilfreich sein. In dieser Arbeit werden Unterschiede in Lautsystemen des Deutschen, Italienischen und Spanischen aufgedeckt und darauf basierend Hypothesen über die Erwartungsfehler aufgestellt. Aus dem Vergleich gewonnene Fehlerprognosen werden im ersten Teil der Arbeit zusammengefasst und dienen als Nachschlagewerk bei Unsicherheiten über die Aussprachefehler bei mehrsprachigen Kindern. Ausserdem werden die neuesten Erkenntnisse aus der Optimalitätstheorie in die Analyse einbezogen und mit dem Zweitspracherwerb in Verbindung gebracht. Es gilt des Weiteren herauszufinden, ob und wie die aufgedeckten Phänomene aus der Sicht der aktuellen Theorie erklärt werden können. Somit liefert eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit einigen Erwartungsfehlern im zweiten Teil der Arbeit ein besseres Verständnis der Fehler und stellt eine Grundlage für weitere Forschung dar. Die Ergebnisse einer solchen Analyse sollen den Fachpersonen schlussendlich helfen, transferbedingten phonetisch-phonologischen Abweichungen im Deutschen kontrolliert und effektiv zu begegnen.

description: Photometric redshift uncertainties are a major source of systematic error for ongoing and future photometric surveys. We study different sources of redshift error caused by choosing a suboptimal redshift histogram bin width and propose methods to resolve them. The selection of a too large bin width is shown to oversmooth small scale structure of the radial distribution of galaxies. This systematic error can significantly shift cosmological parameter constraints by up to $6 \, σ$ for the dark energy equation of state parameter $w$. Careful selection of bin width can reduce this systematic by a factor of up to 6 as compared with commonly used current binning approaches. We further discuss a generalised resampling method that can correct systematic and statistical errors in cosmological parameter constraints caused by uncertainties in the redshift distribution. This can be achieved without any prior assumptions about the shape of the distribution or the form of the redshift error. Our methodology allows photometric surveys to obtain unbiased cosmological parameter constraints using a minimum number of spectroscopic calibration data. For a DES-like galaxy clustering forecast we obtain unbiased results with respect to errors caused by suboptimal histogram bin width selection, using only 5k representative spectroscopic calibration objects per tomographic redshift bin.

title: Behinderung und gesellschaftliche Zuschreibungen
Creators: name: Kemna, Ines
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Erfahrungen behinderte Personen mit gesellschaftlichen Zuschreibungen erleben und wie diese Zuschreibungen mit einer ableismuskritischen Herangehensweise gesellschaftstheoretisch eingeordnet werden können. Ableismus lässt sich als Diskriminierungsform gegenüber Menschen mit Behinderung und als in gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse eingebettete Denkform begreifen. Die Kritik an Ableismus problematisiert die gesellschaftlichen Fähigkeitsideale und Körpernormen. Anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse autobiographischer Texte von Personen mit Behinderung werden deren Zuschreibungserfahrungen erhoben und es zeigt sich, dass den ableistischen Stereotypen und strukturellen Ausschlüssen von behinderten Menschen, gesellschaftliche Strukturen und Denkformen – wie die Konstruktion von Normalität, das Ideal von (Leistungs-)Fähigkeit und Autonomie und der Leugnung von Abhängigkeit – zugrunde liegen. Mit der vorliegenden Theoretisierung von Ableismus wird ein im deutschsprachigen Raum noch weitgehend unbekannter Zugang vorgestellt. Damit beginne ich eine Forschungslücke zu schließen und verorte mich innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Disability Studies.
description: This master's thesis deals with the question of what experiences disabled persons have with social attributions and how these attributions can be classified in terms of social theory using an approach critical of ableism. Ableism can be understood as a form of discrimination against people with disabilities and as a form of thinking embedded in social relations. The critique of ableism problematizes the socially embedded ideals of ability and body norms. By means of a qualitative content analysis of autobiographical texts of persons with disabilities, their experiences with social attributions are surveyed and show that ableist stereotypes and structural exclusions of disabled people are based on social structures and forms of thinking such as the construction of normality, the ideal of ability, efficiency and autonomy and the denial of dependency. With the theorization of ableism, an approach still largely unknown in the German speaking research is presented. Thus, I begin to fill a gap in research and locate myself within German speaking disability studies.
Locally optimal designs for errors-in-variables models

description: This paper considers the construction of optimal designs for nonlinear regres- sion models when there are measurement errors in the predictor. Corresponding (approximate) design theory is developed for maximum likelihood and least squares estimation, where the latter leads to non-concave optimisation problems. For the Michaelis-Menten, EMAX and exponential regression model D-optimal designs can be found explicitly and compared with the corresponding designs derived under the assumption of no measurement error in concrete applications.

An Assessment of Challenges of Urban Good Governance: the Case of Fitche Town Administration
Creators: name: Teferi, Zeleke
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The study aimed at assessing the practice and the challenges of good governance through the approaches of the implementation of accountability and transparency in the selected public sectors of fitche town administration particularly municipality, and trade and market development offices. Descriptive survey design by using mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative sequentially) was used to accomplish the objective of the study. The respondents of the study were selected using simple random sampling and convenience technique. In all 96 sample employees were asked to fill the questionnaire and 92 were responded and used for analysis. Also 24 customers from the two selected offices were participated in the study through interview. The data collected from participants of the study were analyzed through descriptive statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The result of the study was presented using charts, graphs and tables. The study revealed that poor practice of implementing accountability and transparency. It was also found that lack of capacity, weak low enforcement, malfunction with corruption, lack of commitment and awareness were identified as challenges of good governance. Therefore, the study recommended that the studied sectors should mainly focus on the effectiveness of accountability and transparency. In addition the sectors should promote effective good governance through minimizing the influence of the identified challenges of good governance in the public sectors of the town.
title: Organisationsübergreifende Führungskräfteausbildung auf operativer Ebene nach der Richtlinie für das Führen im Katastropheneinsatz
Creators: name: Kutschera, Florian
Year: 2023

description: Die SKKM-Strategie 2020 des Österreichischen Bundesministeriums für Inneres hat die organisationsübergreifende Ausbildung als einen ihrer Schwerpunkte definiert. Trotz intensiver Zusammenarbeit der verschiedenen Einsatzkräfte und Organisationen, bleiben dennoch getrennte Ausbildungskonzepte und verschiedene Schulungsansätze bestehen Diese Arbeit setzt sich mit der organisationsübergreifenden Führungskräfteausbildung auf der operativen Ebene in Österreich auseinander. Die Kernaufgaben von Feuerwehr, Polizei und Rettungsdiensten unterschiedlichen sich grundlegend. Diese Unterschiede, die verschiedenen Ansätze in der Führungskräfteausbildung und der fehlende Einblick in andere Einsatzorganisationen, erschweren die Kooperation. Der bisherige Ansatz des Österreichischen Krisen- und Katastrophenschutzes konzentriert sich, neben den SKKM-Ausbildungsmodulen, hauptsächlich auf gemeinsame Katastrophenschutzübungen. Ein spezifisches Ausbildungskonzept oder ein entsprechender Lehrgang, für eine ergänzende organisationsübergreifende Führungskräfteausbildung ist bisher noch nicht vorhanden. Diese Masterarbeit soll festzustellen, wie die organisationsübergreifende Ausbildung auf der operativen Führungsebene weiter verwirklicht und dadurch die Kooperation in Großschadenslagen verbessert werden kann.
description: The SKKM-strategy 2020 of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior defined the cross-organizational training as one of its main focuses. Nevertheless, despite intensive collaboration among various emergency forces and organizations, separate training concepts and different approaches to education still persist. This master thesis addresses cross-organizational leadership training at the operational level in Austria. The core tasks of the firedepartment, the police, and the emergency-medical-services differ fundamentally. These differences, along with the varied approaches to leadership training and the lack of insight into other emergency organizations, complicates the cooperation. The current approach of the Austrian crisis- and disastermanagement primarily centers on joint disaster preparedness exercises, besides the SKKM-trainingmodules. However, there is currently no specific trainingconcept or course available for complementary cross-organizational leadership training. This master thesis aims to determine how cross-organizational training at the operational leadershiplevel can be further implemented and thereby enhance cooperation in major emergencies.

description: Inelastic neutron scattering reveals a broad continuum of excitations in Pr$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$, the temperature and magnetic field dependence of which indicate a continuous distribution of quenched transverse fields ($Δ$) acting on the non-Kramers Pr$^{3+}$ crystal field ground state doublets. Spin-ice correlations are apparent within 0.2 meV of the Zeeman energy. A random phase approximation provides an excellent account of the data with a transverse field distribution $ρ(Δ)\propto (Δ^2+Γ^2)^{-1}$ where $ Γ=0.27(1)$ meV. Established during high temperature synthesis due to an underlying structural instability, it appears disorder in Pr$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ actually induces a quantum spin liquid.
