Vetoed jet clustering: The mass-jump algorithm
Creators: name: Stoll, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new class of jet clustering algorithms is introduced. A criterion inspired by successful mass-drop taggers is applied that prevents the recombination of two hard prongs if their combined jet mass is substantially larger than the masses of the separate prongs. This "mass jump" veto effectively results in jets with variable radii in dense environments. Differences to existing methods are investigated. It is shown for boosted top quarks that the new algorithm has beneficial properties which can lead to improved tagging purity.

A new deformed Schioberg-type potential and ro-vibrational energies for some diatomic molecules
Creators: name: Mustafa, Omar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We suggest a new deformed Schioberg-type potential for diatomic molecules. We show that it is equivalent to Tietz-Hua oscillator potential. We discuss how to relate our deformed Schiöberg potential to Morse, to Deng-Fan , to the improved Manning-Rosen, and to the deformed modified Rosen-Morse potential models. We transform our potential into a proper form and use the supersymmetric quantization to find a closed form analytical solution for the ro-vibrational energy levels that are highly accurate over a wide range of vibrational and rotational quantum numbers. We discuss our results using 4-diatomic molecules NO, O2, O2+, and N2. Our results turn out to compare excellently with those from a generalized pseudospectral numerical method.

description: Background: Long-term outcome in schizophrenia remains unsatisfactory due to continued premature deaths and insufficient health treatment. Subjective quality of life (SQoL) measurements hold important information and have meaningful implications regarding ways of improving general health status. This study investigated the physical and mental SQoL and associated clinical and sociodemographic outcomes among community-dwelling middle-aged and older people with early-onset schizophrenia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional interview study where participants residing in the Region of Southern Denmark were identified through The Danish Psychiatric Central Register. Of a total of 278 eligible individuals, 59 people aged 55–82 years old participated. The SQoL measure Medical Outcomes Short Form 36 version 2 (SF36) was used. Scores were compared by age groups with normative data for the Danish population. Associated outcomes were measured using Positive And Negative Symptom Scale Remission and others. Results: Increased mental SQoL was associated with schizophrenia in remission (adjusted B 9.43, p = .001), increased Mental Health Recovery Measure score (adjusted B 0.55, p B 0.32, p p = .001) among 55–64-year olds, but presented levels similar to the general population at ages over 65 years. Physical quality of life was similar to the general population. Conclusion: Over 65-year olds with schizophrenia seemed to have SQoL similar to their age peers in the general population. Aiming treatment at achieving state of remission or recovery would be an amenable measure toward increasing mental SQoL among middle-aged people with schizophrenia.

description: Objective: The relationship between gender, age and the quality of mental health care among inpatients with depression is unclear. This study examined gender- and age-related differences in the quality of care as reflected by the fulfilment of process performance measures of care among inpatients with unipolar depression in Denmark. Methods: In a nationwide cohort study, 16,858 patients admitted to psychiatric hospital wards for depression between 2011 and 2016 were identified from the Danish Depression Database. Patients were divided according to age (18–39, 40–65, 66–79 and ≥80 years) and stratified by gender. Quality of care was defined as having fulfilled process performance measures of care, reflecting national clinical guideline recommendations. High overall quality of care was defined as having received ≥80% of the processes. The associations were assessed using binomial regressions. Results: With men in the age group 18–39 years serving as the reference, men and women in the age category ≥80 years were more likely to receive higher quality of care with an adjusted relative risk (aRR) of 1.43 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.98; 2.10] and 1.30 (95% CI = 0.90; 1.90), respectively. Likewise, for men and women aged 66–79 years, the aRRs as 1.34 (95% CI = 1.07; 1.67) and 1.47 (95% CI = 1.14; 1.90). For men and women aged 40–65, the aRRs was 1.15 (95% CI = 1.00; 1.33) and 1.07 (95% CI = 0.93; 1.24), respectively. Conclusion: Older patients received higher quality of inpatient care for depression, as reflected by a higher proportion of fulfilled guideline supported process measures. In contrast, we found no gender-related differences.

Year: 2016

description: Purpose: To contribute for the ongoing discussion about associations between art education and citizenship education, presenting Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed, as a theatre method that exercises active democracy by means of promoting epistemological development merging Art, Citizenship and Education. Design: Drawing form a selected set of relevant concepts and data in the fields of psychology, education, arts and performance studies, amongst others, the advantages and limitations of the artistic practice of theatre are analyzed in terms of its impact in epistemological and socio-cognitive development. Findings: A literature review shows several studies that evidence the benefits of artistic practices, namely theatre, in several indicators. Despite these evidences formal educative contexts, rooted in traditional pedagogic paradigms, resist to the entrance of arts, such as the performative, in school curricula, as well as other interactive practices indispensable in the promotion of participative citizenship. Research implications: Present existing methods alternative to formal education, exemplified by the method of the theatre of the oppressed, that aim to develop art, education and citizenship in one same practice. Practical implications: Evidence the need to reconsider formal education curricula with the objective of enhancing epistemological development, empowerment, autonomy and active citizenship.

Interviewing as a Pedagogical Tool in Arts for Social Justice: A Case Study of an Afterschool Arts Program
Creators: name: Dewhurst, Marit

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: The rise of out-of-school youth arts organizations, especially those dedicated to addressing social issues with young people, suggests a growing need for spaces in which we prepare young people to creatively and critically shape their communities. While the popularity of these programs is certainly positive, it does little to tell us what pedagogical lessons we might learn from how youth arts organizations approach social justice teaching in the arts. In order to understand what it takes to do social justice art education, our research team investigated the pedagogical strategies used by Center for Urban Pedagogy, an out-of-school youth arts organization. Method: Through qualitative interviews, observations, and document analyses, this case study examined the specific pedagogical strategies used by educators in the Center for Urban Pedagogy’s (CUP) Urban Investigations program to engage young people in creating art for social justice aims. Findings: Our initial findings revealed that the process of interviewing is at the center of CUP’s approach to both social engagement and art-making. According to our research, interviewing reveals hidden layers of meaning to learners, offers opportunities to visualize personal connections, and provides a means to critically and collaboratively create artwork.

description: The ground--state magnetic phase diagram is investigated for the two-- and three--dimensional $t$--$t'$ Hubbard model. We take into account commensurate ferro--, antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate (spiral) magnetic phases, as well as phase separation into magnetic phases of different types, which was often missed in previous investigations. We trace the influence of correlation effects on the stability of both spiral and collinear magnetic order by comparing the results of employing both the generalized non-correlated mean--field (Hartree--Fock) approximation and generalized slave boson approach by Kotliar and Ruckenstein with correlation effects included. We found that the spiral states and especially ferromagnetism are generally strongly suppressed up to non-realistic large Hubbard $U$, if the correlation effects are taken into account. The electronic phase separation plays an important role in the formation of magnetic states and corresponding regions are wide, especially in the vicinity of half--filling. The details of magnetic ordering for different cubic lattices are discussed.

We present a toy-model potential reproducing the main features of the effective interaction: a non-zero-range repulsive potential competing with an attractive contact term. The existence of a single resonance is confirmed analytically. The toy model is than generalized to investigate the interplay between dipolar and contact interaction, giving an intuitive interpretation of the resonance mechanism.

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2017

description: The primary purpose of this essay is to further understanding of the relationship between social education programs in public schools in the United States and the health of its democracy. A secondary purpose is to encourage reflection on the condition of democracy in other countries and the adequacy of social education programs in these countries in preparing youths for democratic citizenship. Extant data on social education in American public schools are analyzed and discussed in relation to selected social and economic conditions and the health of democracy in the United States. The conclusion is that social education programs in the United States do not adequately prepare young people for political participation and this deficiency has contributed significantly to distress in American democracy.

description: We consider the extension of the general-linear and special-linear algebras by employing the Maxwell symmetry in $D$ space-time dimensions. We show how various Maxwell extensions of the ordinary space-time algebras can be obtained by a suitable contraction of generalized algebras. The extended Lie algebras could be useful in the construction of generalized gravity theories and the objects that couple to them. We also consider the gravitational dynamics of these algebras in the framework of the gauge theories of gravity. By adopting the symmetry-breaking mechanism of the Stelle-West model, we present some modified gravity models that contain the generalized cosmological constant term in four dimensions.

description: Die Vulnerabilität ist ein wesentliches Merkmal des Menschseins und ein vielschichtiges Phänomen, welches in der Ethik insgesamt, aber auch speziell in der Medizin- und Pflegeethik weitreichend behandelt wird. Unterschiedliche Faktoren können Gefühle der Verletzlichkeit hervorrufen, welche je nach individuellem Erleben und persönlichen Ressourcen intensiv oder weniger intensiv empfunden werden können, und es gibt mehrere Wege mit ihnen umzugehen. In dieser Masterarbeit wird die potenzielle Kraft des pflegerischen Dialogs untersucht, in Momenten der besonderen Vulnerabilität Positives zu bewirken und unangenehme Verletzlichkeitsgefühle bei Betroffenen zu reduzieren. Es wird darauf eingegangen, warum das Aufrechterhalten einer offenen, dialogischen Haltung während der professionellen Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege nicht nur wichtig ist, um besondere, pathogene Verletzlichkeiten vorzubeugen, sondern auch der erste Schritt ist, um eine adäquate Hilfe leisten und Gesundheit fördern zu können. Dafür wird sowohl das Phänomen der Verletzlichkeit vertiefend betrachtet als auch die Wichtigkeit und ethische Relevanz der verständnisfördernden Kommunikation zwischen professioneller Pflegeperson und zu pflegender Person verdeutlicht. Die empirischen Ergebnisse qualitativer Interviews ergänzen abschließend die theoretisch untersuchten Inhalte mit praktischen Beispielen aus der Sicht ehemaliger Patient*innen.
description: Vulnerability is a fundamental characteristic of being human. It’s a complex phenomenon, that is being dealt with extensively in ethics generally and specifically in medical and nursing ethics field. Various factors can create stronger or less intense feelings of vulnerability in human beings which depends on individual experience and personal resources. There are several ways to handle them. This master’s thesis examines a potential ability of creating and holding the dialogue. The dialogue gives a positive effect in particular moments of vulnerability state and reduces unpleasant feelings of vulnerability in those who are being affected. Author’s thesis states why maintaining an open and based on a dialog attitude in the field of professional healthcare is so important. Furthermore, it proofs that the dialog is not only preventing specific pathogenic vulnerabilities, but it also provides in the first step an adequate help and promotes health. For this purpose, the phenomenon of vulnerability is being examined in more detail. As well as, it clarifies the importance of ethical relevance in the field of understanding and promoting communication between professional caregivers and the persons who are being taken care of. Finally, the empirical results of qualitative interviews are being presented as the proof supplement. The author is providing theoretically examined content with practical examples from the perspective of former patients.

description: We investigate effects of triple-$α$ and $^{12}\rm C(α,γ) ^{16}O$ reaction rates on the production of supernova yields for a massive star of 25 $M_{\odot}$. We combine the reaction rates to examine the rate dependence, where the rates are considered to cover the possible variation of the rates based on experiments on the earth and theories. We adopt four combinations of the reaction rates from two triple-$α$ reaction rates and two $^{12}\rm C(α,γ)^{16}O$ ones. First, we examine the evolution of massive stars of 20 and 25 $M_{\odot}$ whose helium cores correspond to helium stars of 6 and 8 $M_{\odot}$, respectively. While the 25 $M_{\odot}$ stars evolve to the presupernova stages for all combinations of the reaction rates, evolutionary paths of the 20 $M_{\odot}$ stars proceed significantly different way for some combinations, which are unacceptable for progenitors of supernovae. Second, we perform calculations of supernova explosions within the limitation of spherical symmetry and compare the calculated abundance ratios with the solar system abundances. We can deduce some constraints to the reaction rates. As the results, a conventional rate is adequate for a triple-$α$ reaction rate and a rather higher value of the reaction rate within the upper limit for the experimental uncertainties is favorable for a $^{12}\rm C(α,γ)^{16}O$ rate.

description: This publication provides an overview of pediatric care at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, previously called the Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children, from 1926 to 1966. Throughout that period there were great advancements in pediatric medicine, not just for physical wellbeing, which is vital during times of rapid development, but also for emotional and mental health among younger patients, like allowing for less isolation between children receiving treatment and their parents. In addition, this issue highlights the work of a night clinic in what was then referred to as Portland’s skid row, located in the northwest area of the city. There, medical students, who were members of the Christian Medical Society, and physicians would treat those in need who might not otherwise be able to access more traditional outpatient care.

description: Strain control is one of the most promising avenues to search for new emergent phenomena in transition-metal-oxide films. Here, we investigate the strain-induced changes of electronic structures in strongly correlated LaNiO3 (LNO) films, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and the dynamical mean-field theory. The strongly renormalized eg-orbital bands are systematically rearranged by misfit strain to change its fermiology. As tensile strain increases, the hole pocket centered at the A point elongates along the kz-axis and seems to become open, thus changing Fermi-surface (FS) topology from three- to quasi-two-dimensional. Concomitantly, the FS shape becomes flattened to enhance FS nesting. A FS superstructure with Q1 = (1/2,1/2,1/2) appears in all LNO films, while a tensile-strained LNO film has an additional Q2 = (1/4,1/4,1/4) modulation, indicating that some instabilities are present in metallic LNO films. Charge disproportionation and spin-density-wave fluctuations observed in other nickelates might be their most probable origins.

description: Purpose: This article explores the classical relationship between socioeconomic status and political domains, and the need to include different variables (contextual and individual) to measure the effect of economic and cultural capitals on youth participation and knowledge. Method: A multivariate analysis of covariance was performed on a sample of 732 Portuguese students, from Grades 8 and 11, in order to analyse how different socioeconomic variables related to family and schooling contexts have an effect on their political knowledge and experiences. Findings: The article highlights the differential role of socioeconomic variables on political knowledge and participatory patterns. Low economic capital instigates participation, while high cultural capital is related with higher political literacy. However, both forms of capital interact with the schooling context, revealing more complex patterns of behaviour and knowledge in students attending public and private schools.

description: Purpose: To develop an open-source, high-performance, easy-to-use, extensible, cross-platform, and general MRI simulation framework (Koma). Methods: Koma was developed using the Julia programming language. Like other MRI simulators, it solves the Bloch equations with CPU and GPU parallelization. The inputs are the scanner parameters, the phantom, and the pulse sequence that is Pulseq-compatible. The raw data is stored in the ISMRMRD format. For the reconstruction, MRIReco.jl is used. A graphical user interface utilizing web technologies was also designed. Two types of experiments were performed: one to compare the quality of the results and the execution speed, and the second to compare its usability. Finally, the use of Koma in quantitative imaging was demonstrated by simulating Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) acquisitions. Results: Koma was compared to two well-known open-source MRI simulators, JEMRIS and MRiLab. Highly accurate results (with MAEs below 0.1% compared to JEMRIS) and better GPU performance than MRiLab were demonstrated. In an experiment with students, Koma was proved to be easy to use, eight times faster on personal computers than JEMRIS, and 65% of them recommended it. The potential for designing acquisition and reconstruction techniques was also shown through the simulation of MRF acquisitions, with conclusions that agree with the literature. Conclusions: Koma's speed and flexibility have the potential to make simulations more accessible for education and research. Koma is expected to be used for designing and testing novel pulse sequences before implementing them in the scanner with Pulseq files, and for creating synthetic data to train machine learning models.

title: Die wirtschaftlichen Gewinner und Verlierer des China-US Handelskriegs
Creators: name: Benesch, Julian
Year: 2022

description: Der China-US Handelskrieg ist als Folge eines wachsenden Handelsdefizites der USA gegenüber China ausgebrochen. Inoffizielle Gründe, die zu diesem Ereignis geführt haben, sind die Angst der USA ihre wirtschaftliche als auch globale Vormachtstellung zu verlieren, ein möglicher Technologiediebstahl Chinas und der Made in China 2025 Plan. Grundcharakteristika des Handelskriegs sind, dass direkt beteiligte Länder, sprich die USA und China, die Hauptbetroffenen des Disputs sind, während Drittländer, die von den Handelsumlenkungen profitieren, als Gewinner hervorgehen können. In den USA sind vor allem die Konsumenten und Bauern von den eingeführten chinesischen Zöllen betroffen. Hingegen sind in China die Aktienmärkte abhängig von den Verhandlungen mit den Vereinigten Staaten und die chinesischen Exporteure müssen über längere Zeit mit Einbußen am amerikanischen Markt rechnen. Insbesondere südostasiatische Länder, allen voran Vietnam, ziehen ihren Nutzen aus dem Konflikt der beiden größten Volkswirtschaften.
description: The China-US trade war has erupted as a result of a growing US trade deficit with China. Unofficial reasons that led to this event are the fear of the USA to lose its economic as well as global supremacy, a possible technology theft of China and the Made in China 2025 plan. The basic characteristics of the trade war are that directly involved countries, i.e. the U.S. and China, are the main victims of the dispute, while third countries that benefit from the trade diversion can emerge as winners. In the U.S., consumers and farmers are the main ones affected by the imposed Chinese tariffs. In China, on the other hand, stock markets are dependent on the negotiations with the United States, and Chinese exporters can expect losses in the U.S. market over a longer period of time. Southeast Asian countries in particular, above all Vietnam, are benefiting from the conflict between the two largest economies.
Constraints and Meaning-Making: Dealing With the Multifacetedness of Social Studies in Audited Teaching Practices
Creators: name: Strandler, Ola
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education

description: Purpose: The backdrop of the article is the emergence of an international and politically motivated ambition that aims at standardising the purpose and outcomes of teaching practices via various forms of outcome controls. This ambition of standardisation is discussed in a Swedish context in relation to social studies teaching, which, at its core, has highly diverse and sometimes conflicting aims and purposes. The purpose of the article is to analyse tensions that arise in practice as ten experienced Swedish social studies teachers implement outcome-focused reforms in their teaching, and to critically discuss implications for social studies teaching. Method: Interviews, observations and a conceptual framework built on Paul Ricœur’s discussion on the concept of practical reason has been used to analyse tensions that arose when the teachers implemented standardised tests and grading. Findings: Teaching practices shifted from social studies extrinsic dimensions (emphasising an open and individual understanding from social issues) toward social studies intrinsic dimensions (emphasising knowledge about a predetermined content) as a result of policy changes, teachers meaning-making of the reforms, and in relation to external constraints. In conclusion, it is argued that this shift risks circumscribing tools that can be used to deal with inherently complex subject dimensions.

description: Purpose: To explore changes in upper secondary students´ conceptions of environmental issues in how prices are determined and how they should be determined. Design: The study uses an ’alternative frameworks’ conceptual change approach to examine change in the conceptions of fifteen business and economic students. Students were asked about the prices of familiar products and asked to explain prices for eco-friendly and eco-unfriendly products. A first interview was conducted in the second year of education and the second interview a year later when students were 18 years old and in the final year of schooling. Interviews were carried out out by a researcher independent from the schools and carried out in schools. Findings: Identifies the fragmentary nature of students´ every-day thinking in relation to productivity, consumer preference and negative externalities. Results show characteristics of partial conceptions, which are considered as students´ conceptions in a process of change towards a more scientific understanding of relationships between price and environmental impacts. Practical implications: The study clarifies conceptions, which students bring to the classroom and the directions that development in understanding may take. The study should help teachers to design effective strategies to support students’ learning.

description: Many astrophysical disks, such as protoplanetary disks, are in a regime where non-ideal, plasma-specific magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects can significantly influence the behavior of the magnetorotational instability (MRI). The possibility of studying these effects in the Plasma Couette Experiment (PCX) is discussed. An incompressible, dissipative global stability analysis is developed to include plasma-specific two-fluid effects and neutral collisions, which are inherently absent in analyses of Taylor-Couette flows (TCFs) in liquid metal experiments. It is shown that with boundary driven flows, a ion-neutral collision drag body force significantly affects the azimuthal velocity profile, thus limiting the flows to regime where the MRI is not present. Electrically driven flow (EDF) is proposed as an alternative body force flow drive in which the MRI can destabilize at more easily achievable plasma parameters. Scenarios for reaching MRI relevant parameter space and necessary hardware upgrades are described.

description: Containerization approaches based on namespaces offered by the Linux kernel have seen an increasing popularity in the HPC community both as a means to isolate applications and as a format to package and distribute them. However, their adoption and usage in HPC systems faces several challenges. These include difficulties in unprivileged running and building of scientific application container images directly on HPC resources, increasing heterogeneity of HPC architectures, and access to specialized networking libraries available only on HPC systems. These challenges of container-based HPC application development closely align with the several advantages that a new universal intermediate binary format called WebAssembly (Wasm) has to offer. These include a lightweight userspace isolation mechanism and portability across operating systems and processor architectures. In this paper, we explore the usage of Wasm as a distribution format for MPI-based HPC applications. To this end, we present MPIWasm, a novel Wasm embedder for MPI-based HPC applications that enables high-performance execution of Wasm code, has low-overhead for MPI calls, and supports high-performance networking interconnects present on HPC systems. We evaluate the performance and overhead of MPIWasm on a production HPC system and AWS Graviton2 nodes using standardized HPC benchmarks. Results from our experiments demonstrate that MPIWasm delivers competitive native application performance across all scenarios. Moreover, we observe that Wasm binaries are 139.5x smaller on average as compared to the statically-linked binaries for the different standardized benchmarks.

Group Problem Solving as a Different Participatory Approach to Citizenship Education
Creators: name: Guérin, Laurence
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: The main goal of this article is to define and justify group problem solving as an approach to citizenship education. It is demonstrated that the choice of theoretical framework of democracy has consequences for the chosen learning goals, educational approach and learning activities. The framework used here is an epistemic theory of deliberative democracy. It is argued that such an approach enhances teachers’ and pupils’ autonomy. Design/methodology/approach: First, it was discussed what kind of theory of democracy lies behind the mainstream approach to citizenship education. Then, it was demonstrated how a chosen theory of democracy and citizenship leads to a specific translation into educational principles. In order to define and translate the chosen framework into educational principles and learning activities, different disciplines were drawn upon: political philosophy, cognitive and educational psychology. Findings: Group problem solving was defined as an alternative participatory educational approach to citizenship education and four educational principles were defined: argumentation, connected learning, decision making and thinking together. Practical implications: Educationalists, policy makers and researchers working on citizenship education should discuss their ideals of democracy and citizenship in order for these to become an object of scrutiny in the curriculum.
