description: Since their proposal, Lorentz violating theories of gravity have posed a potential threat to black hole thermodynamics, as superluminal signals appeared to be incompatible with the very black hole notion. Remarkably, it was soon realized that in such theories causally disconnected regions of space-time can still exist thanks to the presence of universal horizons: causal barriers for signals of arbitrary high speed. Several investigations, sometimes with contrasting results, have been performed so to determine if these horizons can be associated with healthy thermodynamic properties similar to those associated with Killing horizons in General Relativity. In this work we offer what we deem to be the final picture emerging from this and previous studies. In summary we show that: 1) there is a thermal, and most of all species-independent, emission associated to universal horizons, determined by their surface gravity; 2) due to the modified dispersion relation of the matter fields, the low energy part of the emitted spectrum is affected by the presence of the Killing horizon, in a way similar to an effective refractive index, leading at low energies (w.r.t. the Lorentz breaking scale) to an emission that mimics a standard Hawking spectrum (i.e. one determined by the Killing horizon surface gravity); 3) the whole picture is compatible with a globally well defined vacuum state i.e. an Unruh state associated with preferred observers, which however at very low energies it is basically indistinguishable from the standard Unruh vacuum associated to metric free-falling observers. One can then conclude that Hawking radiation is remarkably resilient even within the context of gravitational theories entailing the breakdown of local Lorentz invariance.

title: Die Entstehung von Figuren als Akt der Wahrnehmung
Creators: name: Strampfer, Johanna

description: Die Aufführungsanalysen von Edward Albees "Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf...?", einer Inszenierung des Wiener Burgtheaters in der Regie von Jan Bosse aus der Saison 2008/09, und Alain Platels "pitié!", einer Tanztheaterproduktion im Tanzquartier Wien ebenfalls 2008/09, beschreiben, wie Figuren im Theater erst durch die Wahrnehmung des Zuschauers ihre Konkretisierung erfahren. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in der Beschreibung menschlicher Darsteller und ihrer körperlichen Äußerungen und den damit verbundenen Möglichkeiten in der Wahrnehmung des Zuschauers eine Figur entstehen zu lassen. Es geht dabei nicht um die Charakterisierung der Figuren im Sinne einer Interpretation der Regie und ihrer Intentionen. Vielmehr handelt es sich um eine phänomenologische Beschreibung, auf deren Basis die verschiedenen Vorgänge geschildert werden, und in deren Verlauf es erst zur Entstehung der Figuren kommt. Figuration als Prozess der Wahrnehmung lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit von der Interpretation und Bewertung einer Inszenierung auf das sinnliche Erlebnis einer ästhetischen Erfahrung, wie sie eine Aufführung darstellt.

description: We consider Abelian topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) in 3d and show that gaugings of invertible global symmetries naturally give rise to additive codes. These codes emerge as nonanomalous subgroups of the 1-form symmetry group, parameterizing the fusion rules of condensable TQFT anyons. The boundary theories dual to TQFTs with the anyons condensed, i.e. with the corresponding symmetry subgroup gauged, are "code" conformal field theories (CFTs). This observation bridges together, in the holographic sense, results on 1-form symmetries of 3d TQFTs with developments connecting codes to 2d CFTs. Building on this relationship, we proceed to consider the ensemble of maximal gaugings (topological boundary conditions) in a general, not necessarily Abelian 3d TQFT, and propose that the resulting ensemble of boundary CFTs has a holographic description as a gravitational theory -- the bulk TQFT summed over topologies.

description: Die hier vorliegende Arbeit untersucht das Buch „MenschInnen – Auf dem Weg zum geschlechtslosen Menschen“ der FPÖ-Politikerin Barbara Rosenkranz mit der Methode der ethnologischen Mythenanalyse und gibt Einblick in die Konstruktion neonationalistischen Gedankenguts in Hinblick auf Gender, Sex und Genderrollen. Die FPÖ wird dabei als Vertreterin neo-nationalistischer Politk verstanden. Theoretisch lässt sich die Arbeit im Zusammenhang kultur- und sozialanthropologischer Werke zu Neo-nationalismus, Sex, Gender und Reproduktion verorten. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit zeige ich auf, wie Neo-NationalistInnen normale nationale Identitäten konstruieren und naturalisieren und diese als ständig gefährdet inszenieren. Gefährdet nicht nur von äußeren Bedrohungszenarien (u.a. EU, Gender Mainstreaming, Fremde), sondern auch von inneren Bedrohungen (u.a. Gleichstellungspolitik, Anerkennung gleichgeschlechtlicher Lebensweise). Die detaillierten Analysen der erzählten Mythen zeigen auf, welche Plätze Neo- NationalistInnen Frauen, Männern, Homo/Heterosexuellen sowie Fremden in der österreichischen Nation im Sinne der FPÖ zuweisen. Unsicherheiten in Bezug zur eigenen geschlechtlichen und sexuellen Identität werden von jener Partei ebenso aufgegriffen und verstärkt wie Unsicherheiten in Bezug zur eigenen nationalen Identität. Dieses Aufgreifen von Unsicherheiten und die Instrumenatalisieurng für eigene politische Ziele können dabei als zentrale Elemente neo-nationalistischer Politk bezeichnet werden.

SkelFMM: A Simplified Fast Multipole Method Based on Recursive Skeletonization

description: This work introduces the kernel-independent multi-level algorithm "skelFMM" for evaluating all pairwise interactions between $N$ points connected through a kernel such as the fundamental solution of the Laplace or the Helmholtz equations. The method is based on linear algebraic tools such as randomized low rank approximation and "skeleton representations" of far-field interactions. The work is related to previously proposed linear algebraic reformulations of the fast multipole method (FMM), but is distinguished by relying on simpler data structures. In particular, skelFMM does not require an "interaction list", as it relies instead on algebraically-modified kernel interactions between near-neighbors at every level. Like other kernel independent algorithms, it only requires evaluation of the kernel function, allowing the methodology to easily be extended to a range of different kernels in 2D and 3D. The simplicity of the algorithm makes it particularly amenable to parallel implementation on heterogeneous hardware architectures.
 The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated through numerical experiments conducted on uniform and non-uniform point distributions in 2D and 3D, involving Laplace and (low frequency) Helmholtz kernels. The algorithm relies on a precomputation stage that constructs a tailored representation for a given geometry of points. Once the precomputation has completed, the matrix-vector multiplication attains high speed through GPU acceleration that leverages batched linear algebra.

description: We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to study non-equilibrium pathways of the phase transition in FeRh parametrized by the structural response. By increasing the pump-pulse duration beyond the electron-phonon coupling time, we suppress the electron-phonon non-equilibrium present upon femtosecond laser excitation but still photoexcite electrons to non-thermal states. Irrespective of the pump pulse duration, we find an optically induced nucleation of ferromagnetic domains on an $8\,\text{ps}$ timescale that starts as soon as the successively deposited energy surpasses the site-specific threshold energy. If in contrast, FeRh is only indirectly excited by diffusion of thermalized electrons from an opaque Pt cap layer, the ferromagnetic phase rises on a $50\,\text{ps}$ timescale. These findings unambiguously identify the photo-excitation of non-thermal electrons and not electron-phonon non-equilibria to enable the non-equilibrium pathway of the phase transition in FeRh.

description: This narrative review provides a brief horizon scanning on the available literature on cost-effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in rheumatology for biological medicines. The PubMed database was used to search for articles containing the key words ‘cost-effectiveness’ AND ‘therapeutic drug monitoring’ AND ‘rheumatology’ or ‘rheumatoid’ with no limits on year of publication. CHEERS pharmacoeconomic criteria were applied to review the robustness of the studies. Out of 42 initial hits, only 4 full-text articles and 2 abstracts matched the specified search criteria fully. They conclude that proactive TDM was more cost-effective for patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases undergoing maintenance therapy with infliximab. For rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the adalimumab dose tapering based on TDM led to an increased quality of life and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gain and entailed lower costs. Patient-initiated service on the basis of TDM resulted in reductions in primary and secondary healthcare services, and hence, lower costs than the usual care. The use of a JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor instead of a biologic disease modifying drug (DMARD) in a treat-to-target approach is cost-effective in conventional synthetic DMARD refractory RA patients; monitoring of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases and low disease activity or in remission undergoing biological therapy can be achieved with less resources. The findings in our mini-review suggest that TDM might result in cost-saving. Given the benefit other patients may gain from the resources saved, we encourage further clinical and cost-effectiveness studies.

description: Light-based additive manufacturing holds great potential in the field of bioprinting due to its exceptional spatial resolution, enabling the reconstruction of intricate tissue structures. However, printing through biological tissues is severely limited due to the strong optical scattering within the tissues. The propagation of light is scrambled to form random speckle patterns, making it impossible to print features at the diffraction-limited size with conventional printing approaches. The poor tissue penetration depth of ultra-violet or blue light, which is commonly used to trigger photopolymerization, further limits the fabrication of high cell-density tissue constructs. Recently, several strategies based on wavefront shaping have been developed to manipulate the light and refocus it inside scattering media to a diffraction-limited spot. In this study, we present a high-resolution additive manufacturing technique using upconversion nanoparticles and a wavefront shaping method that does not require measurement from an invasive detector, i.e., it is a non-invasive technique. Upconversion nanoparticles convert near-infrared light to ultraviolet and visible light. The ultraviolet light serves as a light source for photopolymerization and the visible light as a guide star for digital light shaping. The incident light pattern is manipulated using the feedback information of the guide star to focus light through the tissue. In this way, we experimentally demonstrate that near-infrared light can be non-invasively focused through a strongly scattering medium. By exploiting the optical memory effect, we further demonstrate micro-meter resolution additive manufacturing through highly scattering media such as a 300-μm-thick chicken breast. This study provides a proof of concept of high-resolution additive manufacturing through turbid media with potential application in tissue engineering.

description: Model inversion is a fundamental technique in feedforward control. Unstable inverse models present a challenge in that useful feedforward control trajectories cannot be generated by directly propagating them. Stable inversion is a process for generating useful trajectories from unstable inverses by handling their stable and unstable modes separately. Piecewise affine (PWA) systems are a popular framework for modeling complicated dynamics. The primary contributions of this article are closed-form inverse formulas for a general class of PWA models, and stable inversion methods for these models. Both contributions leverage closed-form model representations to prove sufficient conditions for solution existence and uniqueness, and to develop solution computation methods. The result is implementable feedforward control synthesis from PWA models with either stable or unstable inverses. In practice, feedforward control alone may yield substantial tracking errors due to mismatch between the known system model and the unknowable complete system physics. Iterative learning control (ILC) is a technique for achieving robustness to model error in feedforward control. To demonstrate the primary contributions' validity and utility, this article also integrates PWA stable inversion with ILC in simulations based on a physical printhead positioning system.

description: Alpha-mannosidosis is an inherited rare disorder of mannose-containing oligosaccharides metabolism that is currently treated by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), bone marrow transplantation (BMT), or supportive therapy (ST). However, the relative cost-effectiveness of these treatment options is yet unknown. Our study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of the treatment options for mild to moderate alpha-mannosidosis. The study is based on a modeling approach using a Discrete-Event Simulation model to generate and simulate the course of the disease under the influence of each of the treatment options: ERT, BMT, and ST. The model had a lifetime horizon and was made from the perspective of the Serbian Health Insurance Fund. Currently, available causal therapy of mild to moderate alpha-mannosidosis with velmanase alpha enzyme replacement is not cost-effective compared with supportive therapy (ICER = 941,587,152 RSD) or bone marrow transplantation (ICER = −398,412,755 RSD). Bone marrow transplantation can be cost-effective compared to supportive therapy (ICER = 6,032,689 RSD), but only if the willingness-to-pay threshold is increased to 9 gross domestic products (GDP) per capita per QALY gained. According to the current threshold, velmanase-alfa is not cost-effective compared to BMT or ST. To make alfa-mannosidosis therapy widely accessible to patients, criteria for assessing the cost-effectiveness of orphan drugs must include not only the absolute value of ICER but other aspects like equity weightings of QALYs, risk-sharing, reimbursement of severe forms of a disease only, or availability of dedicated funding.

Undulations including their anharmonic properties are evaluated by means of polarimetric imaging and light diffraction experiments in cells with various thicknesses. The key role in stripe formation is played by high negative values of the thermal expansion coefficient.

description: FLASH-RT has proven beneficial in preclinical studies. However, the lack of accurate real time 2D dosimetry is a limiting factor. In this work, an innovative solution for 2D real time dosimetry in UHDR electron beams is presented. The in-house developed ImageDosis system consists of a scientific camera, with high temporal resolution, and a coating, containing 12% of Y$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$:Ce$^{3+}$ as scintillating material. Reference dosimetry was performed by means of radiochromic film, and a (C$_{38}$H$_{34}$P$_2$)MnBr$_4$ point scintillator was used to validate the pulse discrimination properties of the ImageDosis system. Irradiations were performed in two centers (Antwerp and Orsay), with an ElectronFlash accelerator, with varying number of pulses, pulse length, pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and energy. Also, the temporal resolution and 2D properties were investigated. For doses > 3.5 Gy, the ImageDosis showed a linear dose response up to at least 13 Gy. No dose rate dependence was found for an average dose rate up to 140 Gy/s, a dose per pulse up to 2 Gy and a PRF up to 300 Hz. The ImageDosis system showed capable of measuring the dose of the individual pulses up to a PRF of 250 Hz, but did not detect 3% of the pulses, because these pulses were delivered during the dead time of the camera. The maximal difference in FWHM of the field size between the ImageDosis system and the reference was 3.6%. For a nominal field size of 100 mm and 120 mm, a decreased output was observed on the superior part of the field. The ImageDosis system showed linear dose response and no dose rate nor energy dependence. It showed capable of discriminating and measuring the dose of individual pulses and promising 2D characteristics that need further optimization.

description: The impact of COVID-19 vaccination on hospitalizations in individuals with solid malignancies remains uncertain. This nationwide retrospective study aims to clarify this issue. We analyzed data from 1,126,946 confirmed COVID-19 cases between March 2020 and June 2022, obtained from the Ministry of Health’s United Information Portal. Outcomes were compared between fully vaccinated and non-vaccinated cohorts, stratified by sex, age and viral variant. Among the 1,126,946 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 0.53% (n = 6025) had solid malignancies and comorbidities. Of these, 31.3% (n = 1797) had sole solid malignancies. In this subgroup, 40% (n = 764) required hospitalization, with a median age of 63 years. Unadjusted univariate analysis showed a significant reduction in hospitalization rates among COVID-19 vaccinated patients with isolated solid malignancies [OR 0.2776 (95% CI 0.1621 to 0.4753); p < 0.0001], especially in those aged over 63 [OR 0.5981 (95% CI 0.4244 to 0.8429); p = 0.0033]. Lower ICU admission rates favored vaccinated cohorts [OR 0.3418 (95% CI 0.2023 to 0.5777); p = 0.0001]. These reductions were observed exclusively with mRNA-based vaccines [OR 0.5845 (95% CI 0.4333 to 0.7884); p = 0.0004]. Statistically significant vaccination benefits were found only within the omicron cohort [OR 0.2307 (95% CI 0.13687 to 0.3890); p < 0.0001]. The results from the analysis suggest that individuals with sole solid malignancies face an increased risk of hospitalization and ICU admission. However, these risks can be mitigated through vaccination, particularly with an mRNA-based vaccine, especially in those aged 63 years or older.
title: Das tschetschenische Familienrecht im Spannungsfeld zwischen russischem Recht, Scharia und Adat
Creators: name: Adensamer, Eva
Year: 2012

description: Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit ist das Familienrecht in Tschetschenien in dem ihm eigenen rechtspluralistischen Umfeld. Das Familienrecht der Russischen Föderation konkurriert mit dem Schariarecht und dem tschetschenischen Gewohnheitsrecht. Nach der Darlegung der zum Verständnis wichtigen Kontextinformationen über Geschichte, Religion, Sozialstruktur von Tschetschenien und der geschichtlichen Entwicklung seines Familienrechts untersucht die Arbeit empirisch, welche Normenordnung unter welchen Bedingungen und aus welchen Gründen vorrangig angewendet wird, wie Konflikte gelöst werden und über welche Rechtskenntnisse die tschetschenische Bevölkerung verfügt. Im Zentrum der Forschung stehen die Rechtsbereiche Eheschließung, vermögens- und unterhaltsrechtliche Bestimmungen während der Ehe, Scheidung, Obsorge und Erbrecht. In der Arbeit werden Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung sowie Literaturrecherche mit theoretischen Ausführungen über Rechtspluralismus verknüpft und analysiert.
description: This diploma thesis deals with the subject of family law in Chechnya, which is characterised by a pluralistic legal system with the family law of the Russian Federation, islamic (sharia) law and Chechen customary law existing side by side. Having first outlined the context information required for an understanding of the issue, i.e. Chechnya's history, religion and social structure as well as the development of family law, an empirical approach was used in order to determine the normative order applied as a matter of preference and the conditions and reasons for such application; how conflicts are being resolved; and what Chechen people know about law. The research focused on areas of law concerning marriage, property and alimony in marriage, divorce, custody and inheritance. The findings of both empirical and bibliographical research were linked to the theoretical discussions of legal pluralism and were then analysed.

description: The traditional leather industry releases different chemical wastes into the environment, which calls for the use of alternative, nonpolluting processes. The use of biological catalysts in industrial processing has received a great deal of attention in recent years, mainly for environmental reasons. The main objective of this study was to produce and characterize keratinase enzyme from Bacillus subtilis ES5 and evaluate its potential application for leather dehairing. The gene encoding keratinase was validated with a fragment length of approximately 1100 bp. The keratinase exhibited maximum activity at temperature and pH of 45 °C and 8, respectively. Among the tested metal ions, Ca2+ and Mg2+ improved keratinase activity by 132.56 and 111.78%, respectively, at concentrations of 5 mM. β-mercaptoethanol enhanced keratinolytic activity. However, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) significantly inhibited it, indicating that the enzyme is a member of the metalloprotease family. It completely dehaired goat/sheep skins within 14 h, resulting in decreased biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), and overall pollution load by 57.39, 70.53, 93.59, 94.90, and 79.10%, respectively. The results demonstrated the pivotal advantages of this keratinase, addressing environmentally friendly processing and sustainable solid waste management. The improved properties of enzyme-treated dehaired pelts suggest that crude keratinase could be used in ecologically friendly holistic leather manufacturing to avoid the pollution issues associated with the use of chemicals.

description: We disprove the generalized Chern-Hamilton conjecture on the existence of critical compatible metrics on contact $3$-manifolds. More precisely, we show that a contact $3$-manifold $(M,α)$ admits a critical compatible metric for the Chern-Hamilton energy functional if and only if it is Sasakian or its associated Reeb flow is $C^\infty$-conjugate to an algebraic Anosov flow modeled on $\widetilde{SL}(2, \mathbb R)$. In particular, this yields a complete topological classification of compact $3$-manifolds that admit critical compatible metrics. As a corollary we prove that no contact structure on $\mathbb{T}^3$ admits a critical compatible metric and that critical compatible metrics can only occur when the contact structure is tight.

description: Clustering algorithms are often used to find subpopulations in exploratory data analysis workflows. Not only the clusters themselves, but also their shape can represent meaningful subpopulations. In this paper, we present FLASC, an algorithm that detects branches within clusters to identify such subpopulations. FLASC builds upon HDBSCAN*, a state-of-the-art density-based clustering algorithm, and detects branches in a post-processing step that describes within-cluster connectivity. Two variants of the algorithm are presented, which trade computational cost for noise robustness. We show that both variants scale similarly to HDBSCAN* in terms of computational cost and provide stable outputs using synthetic data sets, resulting in an efficient flare-sensitive clustering algorithm. In addition, we demonstrate the benefit of branch-detection on two real-world data sets.
