description: The SIMONA project (Sediment-quality Information, MONitoring and Assessment system to support transnational cooperation for joint Danube Basin water management) is an Interreg project within the Danube Transnational Programme. The Danube River catchment is a water system extending across 19 European countries, so international cooperation is the only solution for the quality and responsible management of its water resources. 29 partner institutions from 14 European countries are participating in the project. Some of them are represented by scientific institutions, while the rest are represented by public authorities. The purpose of the project is to establish a common, international drainage sediment quality monitoring system, whereby the quality refers to priority inorganic and organic substances content prescribed by the European Union Water Framework Directive. The project's objective is to harmonise and standardise protocols of sampling, laboratory analyses and evaluation of the drainage sediment quality in all participating countries. It also aims to create a web application that will serve as a data entry and evaluation system. The joint monitoring system will allow a complete evaluation of the drainage sediment quality in the Danube catchment area, as well as the exchange and comparison of data between participating countries. It will also provide data access to interested researchers from other branches of science.

description: Overview
 This questionnaire serves as the research instrument in the research project entitled "The engagement in policy practice of social workers in Germany, Israel, and Switzerland. A trinational study and comparison (PP:GIS)". The aim of this international collaborative research project is to examine the level, forms, and factors of policy practice engagement among social workers in Germany, Israel, and Switzerland. Background of the Research Project
 Social workers’ engagement in the policy arena has gained much attention in the professional, ethical, and research discourse of social work. According to the global definition of social work and the international code of ethics, social workers are obliged to advocate for social justice and for more just policies. One of the accepted ways to do so is to engage in policy practice. As service providers, social workers translate (social) policy into professional practice and thus experience how policy affects the well-being of service users. Due to this position, social workers are often depicted as “street-level bureaucrats”, working as public servants, routinely interacting with citizens, and having to deal with changes in public policy, including austerity measures. Therefore, social workers observe, can anticipate, and are often one of the first to detect unjust or inefficient policies and recognize their effects on the lives of service users. In such cases, social workers can use their expertise and their professional position to advocate for more suitable policies towards service users through policy practice engagement. Research concerning social workers’ policy engagement has primarily used the Civic Voluntarism Model and the Policy Practice Engagement (PPE) framework to explain social workers’ levels of PPE. These studies have examined a limited set of predictors at the social worker, organizational, and institutional levels. As a result, other explanatory mechanisms, such as the relationship between personality, job-related, worker, organization, and state-level predictors, have rarely been examined. Aims and Significance of the Research Project
 This study aims to elucidate the multi-layered mechanisms that determine social workers’ engagement in policy practice by utilizing a holistic approach to job-related behavior and professional decision-making. Therefore, the study addresses the following research questions: What forms and strategies of policy practice do social workers use to influence policymaking processes? Which factors and mechanisms associate with social workers’ policy practice engagement? What differences and similarities exist between the engagement of German, Israeli, and Swiss social workers in policy practice?

description: Theory predicts that, upon release from natural enemies in the new range, invasive species will evolve to allocate more resources towards traits that improve their ability to compete with native species. The motivation for most biological control programs is to re-introduce native enemies in order to oppose this effect and reduce or even reverse some of the negative impacts of invasive species on native and economically important ecosystems. In many cases, multiple biocontrol agents are introduced, often under the assumption that their impacts will be complementary. However, studies that attempt to quantify the nature of interactions among biocontrol agents tend to find unique outcomes: as yet, no general patterns have emerged. Here I describe the findings of a study of the impacts of the introduction of one species of biocontrol agent of invasive purple loosestrife, the leaf beetle Neogalerucella almariensis, on the reproductive success of a second biocontrol agent, the flower-feeding weevil Nanophyes marmoratus. Somewhat surprisingly, I found that more adult weevils tended to emerge from plants that were simultaneously infested with both types of beetles. This was true even when differences in flower number among plants were taken into account. Moreover, there were more aborted flowers on an inflorescence where both biocontrol agents were present. Finally, more pollinators visited the plants that were infested by both biocontrol agents. The observational data also show a positive correlation between the presence of the leaf beetle larvae and the number of adult flower weevils found on an inflorescence. I discuss various explanations, including the possibility that biocontrol-induced changes in flowering phenology and plant nutritional compounds could be, at least partially, responsible for these findings.

description: Semantic segmentation as an approach to recognizing and localizing objects within an image is a major research area in computer vision. Now that convolutional neural networks are being increasingly used for such tasks, there have been many improve- ments in grand challenge results, and many new research opportunities in previously untennable areas. Using fully convolutional networks, we have developed a semantic segmentation pipeline for the identification of melanocytic tumor regions, epidermis, and dermis lay- ers in whole slide microscopy images of cutaneous melanoma or cutaneous metastatic melanoma. This pipeline includes processes for annotating and preparing a dataset from the output of a tissue slide scanner to the patch-based training and inference by an artificial neural network. We have curated a large dataset of 50 whole slide images containing cutaneous melanoma or cutaneous metastatic melanoma that are fully annotated at 40× ob- jective resolution by an expert pathologist. We will publish the source images of this dataset online. We also present two new FCN architectures that fuse multiple deconvolutional strides, combining coarse and fine predictions to improve accuracy over similar networks without multi-stride information. Our results show that the system performs better than our comparators. We include inference results on thousands of patches from four whole slide images, reassembling them into whole slide segmentation masks to demonstrate how our system generalizes on novel cases.

description: Process model quality has been an area of considerable research efforts. In this context, the correctness-by-construction principle of change patterns provides promising perspectives. However, using change patterns for model creation imposes a more structured way of modeling. While the process of process modeling (PPM) based on change primitives has been investigated, little is known about this process based on change patterns. To obtain a better understanding of the PPM when using change patterns, the arising challenges, and the subjective perceptions of process designers, we conduct an exploratory study. The results indicate that process designers face little problems as long as control-flow is simple, but have considerable problems with the usage of change patterns when complex, nested models have to be created. Finally, we outline how effective tool support for change patterns should be realized.
The Linguistic Landscape of Post-Soviet Bishkek

description: This study analyzes the linguistic landscape of the city in order to understand the relationship among Kyrgyz, Russian, and English, and society in post-Soviet Bishkek. The linguistic landscape is the visible language on public and private signs in a given territory. In Bishkek, the capital of the Kyrgyz Republic, the linguistic landscape not only includes the two languages given elevated status through the state’s official language policy, Russian and Kyrgyz, but also comprises the English language. My study is based on 104 photographed signs, 15 interviews with young residents of Bishkek, and 40 hours of participant observation. I argue that the status and function of Kyrgyz, Russian, and English in Bishkek society are closely tied to language ideologies resulting from globalization, social and linguistic hierarchies, and nationalistic and educational legacies of Soviet state-building. My findings have implications for the creation and adoption of multilingual nationalism in post-Soviet space.

description: Process model quality has been an area of considerable research efforts. In this context, correctness-by-construction as enabled by change patterns provides promising perspectives. While the process of process modeling (PPM) based on change primitives has been thoroughly investigated, only little is known about the PPM based on change patterns. In particular, it is unclear what set of change patterns should be provided and how the available change pattern set impacts the PPM. To obtain a better understanding of the latter as well as the (subjective) perceptions of process modelers, the arising challenges, and the pros and cons of different change pattern sets we conduct a controlled experiment. Our results indicate that process modelers face similar challenges irrespective of the used change pattern set (core pattern set versus extended pattern set, which adds two advanced change patterns to the core patterns set). An extended change pattern set, however, is perceived as more difficult to use, yielding a higher mental effort. Moreover, our results indicate that more advanced patterns were only used to a limited extent and frequently applied incorrectly, thus, lowering the potential benefits of an extended pattern set.

description: This contribution reflects on a thesis difficult to prove: the impossibility of certain travelling architects to see and see too much beyond reality itself. It is also a reflection meant to warn against too facile automatic relationships of consequentiality between exploration and growth of a personal aesthetic vision in ‘biographical formats’ or research. These, in fact, tend to assimilate very different lives and events and recognise to such a formative process as travelling the same impact on the creative lives of different architects. One may say that travel drawing expresses the result of an impossibility, and it is significant that almost no trace of it is found in many architects whose drawing skills and travel experiences are well known. As happens with photography, travel drawing limits the perception of what is seen by forcing a conditioned gaze on the reproduction of the observed form. It is no wonder, hence, that many architects, like many travellers, prefer a more immersive journey, without any mediation between the eye and the thing observed. In short, it might be said that when architects travel early in life, for example at the end of formal education, their sketches reveal an apprenticeship in drawing which is measured against the elusiveness of the ‘real’ and gradually acquires the ability to synthesise and grasp it. When, on the other hand, the journey takes place in maturity, the architects’ line expresses the acquired ‘style’ which often acts as a filter for a true understanding of reality. The line says much more about the internal evolution of architects’ creativity and places of origin than of their ability to actually ‘see’ places visited perhaps for the first time.

Here, we present a study of surface loss in transmon devices, explicitly designed to have varying sensitivities to different surface loss contributors. Our experiments also encompass two particular different sapphire substrates, which reveal the onset of a yet unknown additional loss mechanism outside of surface loss for one of the substrates. Tests across different wafers and devices demonstrate substantial variation, and we emphasize the importance of testing large numbers of devices for disentangling different sources of decoherence.

description: We demonstrate the simultaneous dressing of both vacuum-to-exciton and exciton-to-biexciton transitions of a single semiconductor quantum dot in a high-Q micropillar cavity, using photoluminescence spectroscopy. Resonant two-photon excitation of the biexciton is achieved by spectrally tuning the quantum dot emission with respect to the cavity mode. The cavity couples to both transitions and amplifies the Rabi-frequency of the likewise resonant cw laser, driving the transitions. We observe strong-field splitting of the emission lines, which depend on the driving Rabi field amplitude and the cavity-laser detuning. A dressed state theory of a driven 4-level atom correctly predicts the distinct spectral transitions observed in the emission spectrum, and a detailed description of the emission spectra is further provided through a polaron master equation approach which accounts for cavity coupling and acoustic phonon interactions of the semiconductor medium.

description: This paper presents single lepton and dilepton kinematic distributions measured in dileptonic $t\bar{t}$ events produced in 20.2 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV $pp$ collisions recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Both absolute and normalised differential cross-sections are measured, using events with an opposite-charge $e\mu$ pair and one or two $b$-tagged jets. The cross-sections are measured in a fiducial region corresponding to the detector acceptance for leptons, and are compared to the predictions from a variety of Monte Carlo event generators, as well as fixed-order QCD calculations, exploring the sensitivity of the cross-sections to the gluon parton distribution function. Some of the distributions are also sensitive to the top quark pole mass; a combined fit of NLO fixed-order predictions to all the measured distributions yields a top quark mass value of $m_t^{\rm pole}=173.2\pm 0.9\pm0.8\pm1.2$ GeV, where the three uncertainties arise from data statistics, experimental systematics, and theoretical sources.

description: Based on the growing body of research and vivid scientific discourse, the Anthropocene is slowly making its way into the curricula of geography programs across the world. Unlike academic geography, the school subject seems to be more reluctant when it comes to the Anthropocene’s implicit implementation. Using content analysis, this article explores how geography curricula or compound subjects containing geography for lower secondary education in fifty countries represented the Anthropocene. The results showed that most curricula detached the Anthropocene from geological time and focused, in a disconnected manner, on three of its descriptors, namely, population growth, industrialization, and globalization. Greenhouse gases played a subordinate role. Also, most curricula operated at the national or global scale, leaving little room to navigate processes on several scales. The results also revealed few differences between curricula prescribing geography as an independent subject or as part of compound subjects, such as social studies or social sciences.

description: This paper presents a measurement of the polarisation of $\tau$ leptons produced in $Z/\gamma^{*}\rightarrow\tau\tau$ decays which is performed with a dataset of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2012. The $Z/\gamma^{*}\rightarrow\tau\tau$ decays are reconstructed from a hadronically decaying $\tau$ lepton with a single charged particle in the final state, accompanied by a $\tau$ lepton that decays leptonically. The $\tau$ polarisation is inferred from the relative fraction of energy carried by charged and neutral hadrons in the hadronic $\tau$ decays. The polarisation is measured in a fiducial region that corresponds to the kinematic region accessible to this analysis. The $\tau$ polarisation extracted over the full phase space within the $Z/\gamma^{*}$ mass range of 66$ < m_{Z/\gamma^{*}} < $ 116 GeV is found to be $P_{\tau} =-0.14 \pm 0.02 (\text{stat}) \pm 0.04 (\text{syst})$. It is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of $P_{\tau} =-0.1517 \pm 0.0019$, which is obtained from the ALPGEN event generator interfaced with the PYTHIA 6 parton shower modelling and the TAUOLA $\tau$ decay library.

description: Abstract: -

Background: Oral hygiene practices play a crucial role in maintaining oral health, especially among the elderly population. In rural areas like Talavadi, traditional practices such as neem stick brushing are commonly used. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of neem stick brushing on oral hygiene and general health among the elderly population in Talavadi, a village in Erode district, Tamil Nadu.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 80 participants aged 50 years and above who use neem sticks for brushing their teeth. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, and oral examinations were conducted to assess dental health. The study analyzed the frequency of neem stick use, the prevalence of dental caries, and the presence of chronic health conditions such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Results: Among the 80 participants, 70% were females, and all were uneducated and below the poverty line. All participants had been using neem sticks for more than one year; 85% brushed once a day, and 15% brushed twice a day. The prevalence of dental caries was low (2.5%), and only a small proportion had hypertension (5%) and diabetes mellitus (1.25%). The findings suggest that neem stick brushing may be associated with good oral health and low prevalence of chronic conditions among the elderly.

Conclusion: Neem stick brushing appears to be an effective traditional oral hygiene practice among the elderly in rural Talavadi, contributing to low rates of dental caries and chronic conditions. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term benefits and potential integration of neem sticks into public health strategies for oral care, especially in underserved communities.

description: PURPOSE: To examine the effect of one bout of exercise on the metabolic biomarkers responses of breast cancer survivors (BCS) and healthy sedentary women controls (SW). METHODS: 9 women who completed major treatments for Stage I-III invasive breast cancer within 3-6 months and 9 SW without a history of cancer diagnosis completed a 30-minute bout of intermittent cycle ergometry exercise at 60% of VO2peak. Blood was taken pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, and 2 hr post-exercise and analyzed for blood lactate, glucose and free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations. RESULTS: Peak exercise lactate responses of BCS were significantly lower than SW (p<0.01). No differences existed in glucose responses for BCS and SW. BCS FFA response at 2 h post exercise was greater than SW (p<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Findings support that BCS do not have the same metabolic responses to exercise as non-cancer patients. The reason for the differing metabolic responses is unclear.

While the context of these archives varies — in size, the underlying technical architecture or in the specific services provided to researchers — the DAG focuses on common ground and is a useful tool for professionals new to data archiving or those who are knowledgeable in one domain and now seek to broaden their expertise.

 The full-day workshop was targeted mainly for new employees in data archives; people generally interested in the DAG were welcome as well.

 This workshop focused specifically on the Chapters Pre-Ingest, Ingest and FAIR with an additional excursion into the glossary to deepen partizipants knowledge in a playful way.

Student Privacy and School Surveillance Videos
Creators: name: Marlowe, Chanda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis takes a close look at school video surveillance case law, pertaining to both school employees and students, to try to determine what legal rights, if any, students have to be free from school video surveillance on public school grounds. It concludes that, unless a state law offers greater privacy protection, students have a right to be free from video surveillance in school locker rooms or other areas on campus that schools have designated for them to change clothes, but nowhere else. This thesis also takes a close look at the statutes, regulations, guidance, and court decisions that govern the disclosure of school surveillance videos to better understand who can get access to those videos and under what circumstances. Given a school’s broad authority to record its students and staff, the issue of who gets access to the surveillance footage after a student has been recorded is particularly salient. Finally, this thesis concludes with a set of best practices for public schools that are considering adopting or increasing school video surveillance.

description: Multilingual families use different language strategies and these seem to influence children’s language learning outcomes. A possible explanation for this relation is that the strategy used influences the quantity of input in each language children receive. The present study will investigate the hypothesized relation between family language strategy and input quantity, describe the strategies used in Montreal, and explore the effects of daycare language and of languages’ sociolinguistic status. I will do so using archival data from approximately 400 bilingual families raising an infant between 5 and 36 months old. I expect the result to demonstrate that family language strategies are used in different proportions, that they do relate to the language input received by infants, and that the additional factors previously mentioned can affect the strategy used and/or the input quantity received. The results will provide guidance for parents and experts in relation to strategy decision.

description: Adolescence is characterized by manifold changes on a biological, social, cognitive, and not least on an emotional level, which are accompanied by high intra-individual variability in emotional experience. Previous findings from educational research suggest that this intraindividual variability is also reflected in retrospection effects (i.e., recall bias) of adolescents’ emotional experience. According to the findings by Bieg, Goetz, and Lipnevich (2014), adolescent students (at the age of about 16 years) generally overestimated the emotional experience in retrospective assessments, i.e., intensity bias as a type of recall bias, in which both positive and negative emotional experience is overestimated in retrospect. In contrast, Venetz and Zurbriggen (2016) found that 12-year-old students retrospectively report higher levels of positive activation (PA) and lower levels of negative activation (NA) than in situ, pointing to a positive recall bias (i.e., “rosy view”). In a study by Zurbriggen, Jendryczko, and Nussbeck (in revision), however, students in adolescence (at the age of about 15 years) reported lower PA and higher NA in retrospect than in situ, thus referring to a negative recall bias (i.e., “blue view”). Furthermore, the findings indicated a negative shift in recall bias of students’ emotion s ince the beginning of early adolescence. Studies on predictors of recall bias in adulthood indicate that primarily personality traits (especially neuroticism and extraversion) as well as individual differences in emotional regulation affect recall bias of reports of emotional experience (Levine, Prohaska, Burgess, Rice, & Laulhere, 2001; Safer & Keuler, 2002; Safer, Levine, & Drapalski, 2002; Robinson & Clore, 2002a). Research has repeatedly demonstrated correlations between emotion regulation strategies and mental disorders in adolescence (e.g. Compas et al., 2017), an important developmental phase of life that is already associated with a considerable increase in psychological problems such as anxiety and depression as (pathological) forms of internalizing experience and behavior (e.g., Bertha & Balázs, 2013; Valois, Zullig, Huebner, & Drane, 2004). In consideration of these findings, the present follow-up study examines whether personality factors and internalizing experience and behavior could predict a recall bias in adolescent students' emotional experience.
Social cognitive development during the latency years: an examination of three measures
Creators: name: Mosconi, Matthew W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: A host of research has focused on social cognitive development. Still, measurement limitations have hindered progress. Limitations include failures to examine developments in latency aged children and a scarcity of data examining related cognitive skills. We administered three social cognition measures, the Faux Pas Task (FP), the Movie Stills task (MS), and the Animations task, to 64 children between 6-12 years, and assessed children’s verbal ability. Results indicated that chronological age was related to MS and Animations task performance, but not to FP task performance after covarying children’s verbal ability. FP task performance was related to verbal mental age. Individual items of the FP task were separated in difficulty by whether or not they contained a negative word or phrase. Items with a negative word or phrase were answered correctly more often. These results and their implications for future research on social cognitive development are discussed.

Thaw Era

description: The Thaw period was defined by a new mobility. Young people were encouraged to explore the country, tourism develops both inside and abroad. The reopening of diplomatic relationships allowed travelling to the West to gather information about new technical and scientific research. Architects and engineers were thus sent to Europe in komandirovki, i.e. work journeys, to study European building techniques and design solutions. Their individual experiences were systematised with the widespread use of reports. These reports, collected in dossiers, provided the main source for handbooks and publications, thus enhancing dissemination of knowledge among Soviet specialists. But the travel experience was not limited to the technical-scientific information. As a matter if fact, subjective impressions began to play an important role in the narration of the journeys. Travel narrations were shared not only in reports, but also in published memories and public conferences. In the latter, the travellers’ experiences are displayed as a form of transgression. Rather than focusing on the observation of the formal aspects, the architects try to participate in the lives of the places and architectures they visit. Being in the state of transit, their perceptions and thoughts are free, stimulate self-reflection, and produce a change of mentality. We argue that these mental processes are the most important features of Soviet architects’ traveling experiences and influenced their future architectural thought.
