description: Einleitung: Ein Schädelhirntrauma kann die Aufnahme von Betätigungen erschweren und Veränderungen der Sozialen Identität hervorrufen. Die Person, die Betätigungen und ihr sozialer Kontext stehen in wechselseitigem Zusammenhang. Die Soziale Identität, als Wissen über eigene Gruppenzugehörigkeiten, ist Teil des Selbstkonzeptes und bietet Grundlage für soziale Unterstützung. In der ergotherapeutischen Literatur besteht dazu eine Forschungslücke.

Ziel: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist herauszufinden, wie Erwachsene die Auswirkungen eines Schädelhirntraumas auf ihre Soziale Identität erleben. Daraus sollen ergotherapeutische Handlungsempfehlungen hergeleitet werden.

Methode: Nach einer Literaturrecherche in ergotherapeutischen, medizinischen, soziologischen und psychologischen Datenbanken wurden für die Beantwortung der Fragestellung drei Hauptstudien inkludiert. Die Haupterkenntnisse daraus wurden über zwei Modelle in Bezug zur Sozialen Identität gesetzt. Hergeleitete Praxisimplikationen wurden ausgewählten Enablement Skills zugeordnet.

Ergebnisse: Folgenden Themen wurden von den Autorinnen dieser Arbeit identifiziert: Verändertes Selbst, Diskrepanz zwischen der Sicht der Betroffenen und der Sicht der sozialen Umwelt, veränderte soziale Beziehungen, Abhängigkeit, etwas zurückgeben.

Schlussfolgerungen: Durch ein klientenzentriertes Vorgehen werden Betroffene unterstützt, viele Soziale Identitäten nach einem Schädelhirntrauma zu erhalten oder neue in ihr Selbst zu integrieren. In der Ergotherapie kann über Betätigung das Zusammenspiel zwischen der Person und ihrem sozialen Kontext beeinflusst werden.

description: The virtual corrections to $gg\to HH$ and $gg\to ZH$ are analytically evaluated combining an expansion in the small transverse momentum of the final particles with an expansion valid at high energies. The two expansion methods describe complementary regions of the phase space and we merge their results, extending the range of validity of both expansions using Padé approximants. We show that this approach can reproduce the available numerical results retaining the exact top quark mass dependence with an accuracy well below the 1% level. Our results allow a fast and flexible evaluation of the virtual corrections of the considered processes. Furthermore, they are available in different renormalisation schemes of the top quark mass.

description: This paper is an empirical investigation of the role of the financial sector in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). This topic is of particular interest because non-regulated entities are likely to have played an important part in increasing the efficiency of the EU ETS by reducing trading transaction costs and providing other services. Due to various reasons (new rules and regulations, reduced return prospects, VAT fraud investigations) banks have reduced their engagement in EU Emissions Trading and it is unclear how this will impact on the functioning of the carbon market. Our regression analysis based on data from the EU Transaction Log shows that large companies and companies with extensive trading experience are more likely to interact with the financial sector, which is why we expect banks’ pulling out of the EU ETS to affect larger companies more significantly. The semi-structured interviews we conducted with representatives of the financial sector, as well as companies liable under the EU ETS, confirm that banks were involved in the EU carbon market in various capacities, specifically as hedging partners for larger companies in the energy sector. Whether this particular role may be taken on by other financial players is unknown at this stage.

description: Abstract: We compare consumers’ attitude towards and willingness to pay (WTP) for gene-edited (GE) apples in Europe and the US. Using virtual choices in a lab and different technology messages, we estimate WTP of 162 French and 166 US consumers for new apples, which do not brown upon being sliced or cut. Messages center on (i) the social and private benefits of having the new apples, and (ii) possible technologies leading to this new benefit (conventional hybrids, GE, and genetically modified (GMO)). French consumers do not value the innovation and actually discount it when it is generated via biotechnology. US consumers do value the innovation as long as it is not generated by biotechnology. In both countries, the steepest discount is for GMO apples, followed by GE apples. Furthermore, the discounting occurs through “boycott” consumers who dislike biotechnology. However, the discounting is weaker for US consumers compared to French consumers. Favorable attitudes towards sciences and new technology totally offset the discounting of GE apples.
title: European Fan Efficiency Standard - Plans for Revision Including Standardised Product Information at Partial Load to Improve Fan Application
Creators: name: Lockwood, Geoff
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: The efficiency test standard FprEN 17166 "Fans – Procedures and methods to determine the energy efficiency for the electric input power range of 125 W to 500 kW" was developed at the request of the European Commission. It was requested to support regulation 327/2011 ecodesign requirements for fans driven by motors with electric input power between 125 W and 500 kW. In drafting the standard, technical experts of the technical committee CEN TC156 WG17 took the opportunity to create new terms and definitions to clarify issues that occurred with the publication of the regulation. But some aspects had to follow the legally binding requirements of the regulation leaving unresolved matters. The request in the European Commission annual Union work programme for European standardisation for 2021 gives an opportunity to put right those problems and provides an opportunity to further improve the system approach. The industry and other stakeholders should carefully consider what needs to be in the Standardisation Request (sReq) that will be the basis of the Commission’s instruction to CEN TC156 WG17. The European Ventilation Industry Association (EVIA) is being proactive with a proposal. Prior to FprEN17166, significant elements of the fan that are necessary to determine the performance were taken for granted. Fan engineers knew what was required, but not every element was defined. Some terms and definitions were missing from standards, and others unexpectedly interpretation. This resulted in misunderstanding and products being within the scope of the regulation, but without methods to determine the energy performance. The draft standard is close to being a desired system approach. A revision can put in place the requirements to provide integrators and users with information to make better informed decisions. Those requirements can include a common method to determine, publish and interpolate data across the complete operating range including partial load. Standards for motors and VSD have, and are in the process of, being revised to provide methodologies to determine the performance and losses at any operating point. A revision of the fan standard will provide an opportunity to incorporate those methods and to define when calculation methods are appropriate. The Fan working group of EVIA has defined the problems of aspects of the ecodesign fan regulation, listened to the requests of other stakeholders for revised standardisation and has made a proposal for change to the Commission. This paper describes those proposals.

description: Octyl gallate (OG) is an antioxidant commonly used in food, although there is no definition of its acceptable daily intake. There are reports in vitro and in vivo showing that food additives and drugs can alter lipid metabolism. Lipid droplet accumulation in hepatic cells is one of the main findings in the unregulated lipid metabolism and is strongly related to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the effects of OG on lipid metabolism in the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). The results have shown, for the first time, that treatment with OG increased the overall amount of lipids, the triglyceride concentration, the lipid droplet area, and SREBP-1c and PPAR-γ gene expression. Taken together, the findings indicate that OG induces lipid droplet accumulation in HepG2 cells through the regulation of SREBP-1c and PPAR-γ gene expression without involving mTOR/S6K1 and may contribute to NAFLD when used as a food additive.

description: We have used Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, SAURON Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) and adaptative optics assisted Gemini NIFS near-infrared K-band IFS to map the stellar and gas distribution, excitation and kinematics of the inner few kpc of the nearby edge-on S0 galaxy NGC 4111. The HST images map its $\approx$ 450 pc diameter dusty polar ring, with an estimated gas mass $\ge10^7$ M$_\odot$. The NIFS datacube maps the inner 110 pc radius at $\approx$ 7 pc spatial resolution revealing a $\approx$ 220 pc diameter polar ring in hot ($2267\pm166$ K) molecular H$_2$ 1-0 S(1) gas embedded in the polar ring. The stellar velocity field shows disk-dominated kinematics along the galaxy plane both in the SAURON large-scale and in the NIFS nuclear-scale data. The large-scale [O III] $\lambda5007$ Åvelocity field shows a superposition of two disk kinematics: one similar to that of the stars and another along the polar ring, showing non-circular motions that seem to connect with the velocity field of the nuclear H$_2$ ring, whose kinematics indicate accelerated inflow to the nucleus. The estimated mass inflow rate is enough not only to feed an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) but also to trigger circumnuclear star formation in the near future. We propose a scenario in which gas from the polar ring, which probably originated from the capture of a dwarf galaxy, is moving inwards and triggering an AGN, as supported by the local X-ray emission, which seems to be the source of the H$_2$ 1-0 S(1) excitation. The fact that we see neither near-UV nor Br$γ$ emission suggests that the nascent AGN is still deeply buried under the optically thick dust of the polar ring.

description: Optical forces in the near fields have important applications in on-chip optical manipulations of small particles and molecules. Here, we report a study of optical force and torque on small particles induced by the optical polarization singularities of a gold cylinder. We show that the scattering of the cylinder generates both electric and magnetic C lines (i.e., lines of polarization singularities) in the near fields, and the C lines can induce complex force and torque on a dielectric/magnetic particle. The force and torque manifest dramatic spatial variations with interesting symmetry properties, providing rich degrees of freedom for near-field optical manipulations. The study, for the first time to our knowledge, uncovers the effect of optical polarization singularities on light-induced force and torque on small particles. The results contribute to the understanding of chiral light-matter interactions and can find applications in on-chip optical manipulations and optical sensing.

description: Modeling biological soft tissue is complex in part due to material heterogeneity. Microstructural patterns, which play a major role in defining the mechanical behavior of these tissues, are both challenging to characterize, and difficult to simulate. Recently, machine learning-based methods to predict the mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials have made it possible to more thoroughly explore the massive input parameter space associated with heterogeneous blocks of material. Specifically, we can train machine learning (ML) models to closely approximate computationally expensive heterogeneous material simulations where the ML model is trained on a dataset of simulations that capture the range of spatial heterogeneity present in the material of interest. However, when it comes to applying these techniques to biological tissue more broadly, there is a major limitation: the relevant microstructural patterns are both challenging to obtain and difficult to analyze. Consequently, the number of useful examples available to characterize the input domain under study is limited. In this work, we investigate the efficacy of ML-based generative models as well as procedural methods as a tool for augmenting limited input pattern datasets. We find that a Style-based Generative Adversarial Network with adaptive discriminator augmentation is able to successfully leverage just 1,000 example patterns to create the most authentic generated patterns. In general, diverse generated patterns with adequate resemblance to the real patterns can be used as inputs to finite element simulations to meaningfully augment the training dataset. To enable this methodological contribution, we have created an open access dataset of Finite Element Analysis simulations based on Cahn-Hilliard patterns. We anticipate that future researchers will be able to leverage this dataset and build on the work presented here.

description: Drone brood removal is a common practice for the control of the honeybee parasite Varoa destructor in beehives of Apis mellifera L. in Switzerland and other European countries. At present, the removed drone brood is not used. The demand for alternative protein sources is growing and drone brood has a big potential to become a new food product and a new income for beekeepers.

In contrast to insects currently produced for food, honeybees feed in an open system in the environment, which is difficult to control. Therefore, food borne pathogens from the environment on drone brood need to be assessed carefully. We analysed samples of drone brood from eight Swiss apiaries regarding important food borne pathogens.

This survey gives a first overview on microbiological food safety of drone brood from A. mellifera. Based on our results, further studies will be conducted to develop a process of drone brood production that is safe regarding food borne pathogens.

description: Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is associated with immunogenic responses and the survival of cancer patients. This study demonstrates how TMB levels impact the immune-related cells, genes, and miRNAs, and how miRNA/gene interactions respond to variations in the survival rate of patients with liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). LIHC patients were divided into two groups, either a low TMB (< median) or a high TMB (≥ median) group. We found that high TMB plays a positive role in immune-mediated infiltration, generating more CD4 T-cells and memory B cells. Among the 21 immune genes that altered significantly, only C9orf24 and CYP1A1 were expected to up-regulate in LIHC patients with high TMB. A total of 19 miRNAs, which regulate various functional pathways, were significantly altered in patients with LIHC. One of the miRNA/gene pair, hsa-miR-33a/ALDH1A3 was significantly associated with the survival rate of LIHC patients. Our results suggest that LIHC patients with high TMB can be treated more effectively with immunotherapy.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication impairment, delayed development, social function deficit, and repetitive behaviors. The Center for Disease Control reports an increase in ASD diagnosis rates every year. This systematic review evaluated the use of sulforaphane (SFN) therapy as a potential treatment option for individuals with ASD. PubMed.gov, PubMed Central, Natural Medicines, BoardVitals, Google Scholar and Medline were searched for studies measuring the effects of SFN on behavior and cognitive function. All five clinical trials included in this systematic review showed a significant positive correlation between SFN use and ASD behavior and cognitive function. The current evidence shows with minimal side effects observed, SFN appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for treating ASD.

description: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Laufkäferfauna in einem Gebiet der Rheinauen bei Rhäzüns und in einem Gebiet bei Mastrils aufgenommen. Ziel der Aufnahme war es, die Gebiete in Bezug auf die Laufkäferfauna zu bewerten und einen Beitrag für die neue Rote Liste der Laufkäfer und Sandlaufkäfer zu leisten. Dazu wurden mittels einer Literaturrecherche die theoretischen Grundlagen zu Käfern (Coleoptera) und im Speziellen den Laufkäfern (Carabidae), erarbeitet, die Hintergründe der verwendeten Beurteilungskonzepte vorgestellt und die Eigenschaften der untersuchten Gebiete aufgezeigt. Den zentralen Teil der Arbeit bilden zwölf Begehungen der Untersuchungsgebiete zwischen Juni und Oktober. Die Käfer wurden dabei in aktiver Suche bei Tag und auch bei Nacht in Handfängen gesammelt. Für neun Begehungen wurde zusätzlich die Umgebung der Funde – gegliedert in drei Bereiche (Ufer, Schwemmfläche und Waldrand) – erfasst. Sämtliche Aufnahmen wurden anschliessend durch Dr. A. Szallies bestimmt. Zur Auswertung wurden zusätzlich die Daten von neun weiteren Begehungen der beiden Gebiete von Dr. A. Szallies einbezogen. Somit konnten über 1'000 Funde von 70 verschiedenen Arten aus beiden Gebieten ausgewertet werden. Alle Funde mit nur einem Nachweis pro Gebiet wurden auf ein mögliches Vorkommen in dieser Region überprüft und als plausibel befunden. 44 Arten konnten in Rhäzüns, 59 in Mastrils und 33 in beiden Gebieten nachgewiesen werden. Von den Arten mit Nachweis in beiden Gebieten wurden am meisten Individuen gefangen. 37 Arten wurden nur in einem Gebiet nachgewiesen. In den Aufnahmen mit Erfassung der Umgebung konnten am meisten Arten im Uferbereich festgestellt werden, gefolgt vom Waldrand und zuletzt den Schwemmflächen. 44 bis 52 Prozent der Funde weisen eine Auenbindung auf. 13 Arten besitzen einen Gefährdungsgrad (darunter: Bembidion foraminosum, Dyschirius abditus, D. angustatus, D. laeviusculus, D. substriatus und Omophron limbatu. Funde dieser Arten wurden in dieser Arbeit einzeln beschrieben und interpretiert). Neun Arten sind als «Nationale Prioritäre Arten» eingestuft. Durch Vergleiche mit anderen Erhebungen konnten die Aufnahmen dieser Arbeit als realistisch eingeschätzt werden. Aufgrund der Grösse und Ursprünglichkeit der Gebiete wird jedoch eine höhere Artenvielfalt erwartet.

description: Dynamical systems theory has emerged as an interdisciplinary area of research to characterize the complex dynamical transitions in real-world systems. Various nonlinear dynamical phenomena and bifurcations have been discovered over the decades using different reduced-order models of oscillators. Different measures and methodologies have been developed theoretically to detect, control, or suppress the nonlinear oscillations. However, obtaining such phenomena experimentally is often challenging, time-consuming, and risky, mainly due to the limited control of certain parameters during experiments. With this review, we aim to introduce a paradigmatic and easily configurable Rijke tube oscillator to the dynamical systems community. The Rijke tube is commonly used by the combustion community as a prototype to investigate the detrimental phenomena of thermoacoustic instability. Recent investigations in such Rijke tubes have utilized various methodologies from dynamical systems theory to better understand the occurrence of thermoacoustic oscillations, their prediction and mitigation, both experimentally and theoretically. The existence of various dynamical behaviors has been reported in single as well as coupled Rijke tube oscillators. These behaviors include bifurcations, routes to chaos, noise-induced transitions, synchronization, and suppression of oscillations. Various early warning measures have been established to predict thermoacoustic instabilities. Therefore, this review paper consolidates the usefulness of a Rijke tube oscillator in terms of experimentally discovering and modeling different nonlinear phenomena observed in physics; thus, transcending the boundaries between the physics and the engineering communities.

description: Viele Kleinsäuger der Schweiz sind nur schwer direkt nachzuweisen, weshalb allgemein wenig über ihre Verbreitung und deren Bestandesänderungen bekannt ist. Für den indirekten Nachweis hat sich in den letzten Jahren der Gebrauch von Spurentunnel bewährt. Eine vielversprechende Alternative bieten Nachweismethoden mit Fotofallen. Um das ganze Potential dieser Methoden ausschöpfen zu können, besteht jedoch noch Optimierungsbedarf. 
Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Weiterentwicklung und Optimierung der Fotofallenbox «Mostela». Hauptaugenmerk lag dabei auf der Verbesserung der Handhabung, sowie der Verbesserung der Bildqualität zur zuverlässigen Bestimmung von Kleinsäugern. Bisher wurden in der Mostela lediglich Infrarotblitzfotofallen verwendet. Die Aufnahmen dieser Kameras sind monochrom. Weil für die Unterscheidung einiger Kleinsäuger die Fellfärbung ent-scheidend ist, wurde zur Erhöhung der Bildqualität erstmals Weissblitzfotofallen zur Aufnahme von Farbfotos getestet. Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Bildqualität konnte in Feldversuchen verschiedene Modifikationen zur Kontrast- und Belichtungsoptimierung erprobt werden. Durch Umbau der Weissblitzfotofallen wurde versucht, deren Fokus und Bildwinkel so anzupassen, dass sie auch in einer kleineren Bauweise eingesetzt werden können. Unter Verwendung verschiedener Baumaterialien wurde versucht, kompaktere Prototypen in besonders handlicher Bauweise anzufertigen. Durch den Austausch der Objektive gelang es, den Fokus und Bildwinkel der verwendeten Fotofallen soweit anzupassen, dass die gebauten Prototypen nur noch halb so lang sind wie die Mostela. Der am besten gelungene Prototyp kann zudem für Transport und Lagerung in seine Einzelteile zerlegt werden. Da die Prototypen nur noch einen Bruchteil der Mostela wiegen, wird die zerlegbare Kiste rucksacktauglich und kann so auch problemlos an entlegenen Orten eingesetzt werden. 
Durch Verwendung von Farbfotos und Anpassungen der Bauweise konnte die Bildqualität und somit die Bestimmbarkeit von Kleinsäuger erhöht werden. In den Feldversuchen zeigte sich, dass durch eine geeignete Hintergrundwahl und die Verwendung eines passenden Blitzdiffusors, die Bestimmbarkeit weiter verbessern werden kann. Um letztendlich das ganze Potential der Nachweismethode aus-schöpfen zu können, wird in Zukunft neben der Handhabung und Bildqualität auch die Effizienz der Bildauswertung verbessert werden müssen.

description: Research has shown that agricultural commercialization is an effective way of boosting farmers’ welfare. Is this true for urban or peri-urban farmers? We attempt to answer this question by assessing the effects of rabbit commercialization on multidimensional poverty among urban farmers in Kenya. While previous studies have analyzed commercialization in terms of crops, small livestock such as rabbit has received little attention. Additionally, most studies use income to capture poverty without considering other deprivations such as education, health and living standards. Here, we assess the effect of rabbit commercialization on multidimensional poverty among urban and peri-urban farmers. Data from 260 respondents is used. Findings show that rabbit commercialization is associated with a decrease in multidimensional poverty among urban and peri-urban farmers. This means that rabbit commercialization has a potential of improving living standards of urban poor. Other ﬁndings show that multidimensional poverty is positively associated with increase in education, access to credit, and reduced family sizes. Policy implication of our ﬁndings is that there is need to focus on promotion of commercialization among smallholder urban farmers through expansion of microﬁnance sector among urban dwellers to reduce ﬁnancial market failures caused by inadequate access to ﬁnancial services. Additionally, we recommend the promotion of training programs in different sectors such as rabbit farming. Urban dwellers with large households to be empowered to ensure all household members participate in income generating activities such as rabbit farming and commercialization.

description: A family of pentagonal quasicrystals can be defined by projecting a section of the five-dimensional cubic lattice to two dimensions. A single parameter, the sum of intercepts $Γ=\sum_j γ_j$, describes this family. Each value of $0\le Γ\le \frac{1}{2}$ defines a unique local isomorphism class for these quasicrystals, with $Γ=0$ giving the Penrose lattice. Except for a few special values of $Γ$, these lattices lack simple inflation-deflation rules making it hard to count how frequently a given local configuration is repeated. We consider the vertex-tight-binding model on these quasicrystals and investigate the strictly localized states (LS) for all values of $Γ$. We count the frequency of localized states both by numerical exact diagonalization on lattices of $~10^5$ sites and by identifying localized state types and calculating their perpendicular space images. While the imbalance between the number of sites of the sublattices of the bipartite quasicrystal grows monotonically with $Γ$, we find that the localized state fraction first decreases and then increases as the distance from the Penrose lattice grows. The highest LS fraction of $~10.17\%$ is attained at $Γ=0.5$ while the minimum is $~4.5\%$ at $Γ\simeq 0.12$. The LS on the even sublattice are generally concentrated near sites with high symmetry, while the LS on the odd sublattice are more uniformly distributed. The odd sublattice has a higher LS fraction, having almost three times the LS frequency of the even sublattice at $Γ=0.5$. We identify 20 LS types on the even sublattice, and their total frequency agrees well with the numerical exact diagonalization result for all values of $Γ$. For the odd sublattice, we identify 45 LS types. However, their total frequency remains significantly below the numerical calculation, indicating the possibility of more independent LS types.

description: Galaxy formation and evolution simulations are essential tools to probe poorly known astrophysics processes, but particular care is needed to compare simulations with galaxy observations, as observed data need to be modelled as well. We present a method to generate mock galaxies from the hydro-dynamical IllustrisTNG simulations which are suited to compare with integral field spectroscopic observation of galaxies from the SDSS-IV/MaNGA survey. Firstly, we include the same instrumental effects and procedures as adopted in the acquisition and analysis of real data. Furthermore, we generate the galaxy spectra from the simulations using new stellar population models based on the MaNGA stellar library (MaStar). In this way, our mock data cubes have the same spatial sampling, cover the same wavelength range (3600-10300 Å), and share the same spectral resolution ($R\approx1800$) and flux calibration of real MaNGA galaxy spectra. In this first paper, we demonstrate the method over an early-type and a late-type simulated galaxy from TNG50. We analyse the correspondent mock MaNGA-like data cubes with the same full spectral fitting code, \textsc{FIREFLY}, which was used for the observed spectra. We find that the intrinsic and recovered age and metallicity gradients are consistent within 1$σ$, with residuals over all tassels consistent with $0$ at the 68$\%$ confidence level. We also perform the challenging test at comparing intrinsic and recovered star formation histories, finding a close resemblance between input and output. In follow-up papers, we will present a full simulated MaNGA-like catalogue ($\approx10,000$ galaxies) with a comprehensive comparison of TNG50 simulations to MaNGA observational results.
"Any Little Thing of Help": A Qualitative Analysis of the Challenges of Navigating WIC in Chicago and the Roots of Unenrollment

subject: WIC

description: This research project seeks to understand why coverage rates (percentage of eligible individuals that are enrolled) for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, aka the food assistance program WIC, are so low in Illinois— at 41.8 percent in 2017 compared to the national average of 51.1 percent— and what is causing mothers to unenroll or not enroll at all. Using the city of Chicago as a case study for this issue, this paper will describe the barriers to obtaining and maintaining WIC benefits that low-income mothers face under Chicago’s paper colored coupon system that provides a fundamentally different benefits experience to North Side versus South and West Side residents of the city. In particular, this study will uncover the disparities between mothers’ access to WIC and the challenges they face in obtaining and maintaining their benefits. I will elaborate on ways that WIC can improve in the future to be more accessible to mothers, and ways in which the coming transition to an electronic benefits system (EBT) across the country might aid in creating a benefits process that is easier to navigate. Extensive semi-structured interview data is used in this study to highlight both the experiences of those that are directly affected by WIC enrollment, i.e. low-income mothers, as well as the expertise of those who are practitioners and scholars in the field of public benefits. It is concluded that WIC’s time, resource, and safety demands on low-income mothers is a significant barrier to initial and continued enrollment for many, and that the stakes could not be higher for mothers and their children. In order to create a more accessible system, WIC must make efforts to reduce the restrictions around WIC and increase the flexibility of the program to ease the navigation of this complicated public benefits system, already fraught with many bureaucratic barriers.

description: Darstellung des Themas: Der Sexualität von Frauen mit einer Querschnittlähmung wird während der Rehabilitation kaum Beachtung geschenkt. Für eine ganzheitliche Behandlung von Betroffenen ist die Betätigung Sexualität in der ergotherapeutischen Praxis durchaus relevant. 

Ziel: Bedürfnisse von erwachsenen Frauen mit einer traumatisch erworbenen Querschnittlähmung bezüglich Sexualität während der Rehabilitation evaluieren. Daraus sollen Empfehlungen für die ergotherapeutische Praxis aufgezeigt werden. 

Methode: Zur Erreichung des Ziels dieser Bachelorarbeit wurde ein systematisches Literaturreview in den Datenbanken AMED, CINAHL, IBSS, Medline, OTDBase, PsycINFO und WebOfScience durchgeführt. Anhand bestimmter Einschlusskriterien wurden fünf Hauptstudien inkludiert, welche zusammengefasst und kritisch gewürdigt wurden. Die gefundenen Bedürfnisse von betroffenen Frauen wurden in das „Canadian Model of Occupation Performance and Engagement“ [CMOP-E] eingeteilt und mithilfe des „Canadian Model of Client-Centred Enablement“ [CMCE] passende ergotherapeutische Handlungsansätze evaluiert. 

Relevante Ergebnisse: Ein Grossteil der Betroffenen empfindet die Aufklärung während der Rehabilitation als ungenügend. Sie wünschen sich, dass eine adäquate und individuelle Aufklärung während der Rehabilitation, sowie auch danach, vorhanden ist. 

Schlussfolgerung: Ergotherapeuten und Ergotherapeutinnen stellen mit ihren Enablement Skills kompetente Fachpersonen dar, um die Sexualität bei Frauen mit einer QL während der Rehabilitation zu thematisieren. Dabei steht der Grundsatz der Klientenzentrierung im Vordergrund.
The Cosmological Constant Problem and Running Vacuum in the Expanding Universe

description: It is well-known that quantum field theory (QFT) induces a huge value of the cosmological constant, $Λ$, which is outrageously inconsistent with cosmological observations. We review here some aspects of this fundamental theoretical conundrum (`the cosmological constant problem') and strongly argue in favor of the possibility that the cosmic vacuum density $ρ_{\rm vac}$ may be mildly evolving with the expansion rate $H$. Such a `running vacuum model' (RVM) proposal predicts an effective dynamical dark energy without postulating new ad hoc fields (quintessence and the like). Using the method of adiabatic renormalization within QFT in curved spacetime we find that $ρ_{\rm vac}(H)$ acquires a dynamical component ${\cal O}(H^2)$ caused by the quantum matter effects. There are also ${\cal O}(H^n)$ ($n=4,6,..$) contributions, some of which may trigger inflation in the early universe. Remarkably, the evolution of the adiabatically renormalized $ρ_{\rm vac}(H)$ is not affected by dangerous terms proportional to the quartic power of the masses ($\sim m^4$) of the fields. Traditionally, these terms have been the main source of trouble as they are responsible for the extreme fine tuning feature of the cosmological constant problem. In the context under study, however, the late time $ρ_{\rm vac}(H)$ around $H_0$ is given by a dominant term ($ρ_{\rm vac}^0$) plus the aforementioned mild dynamical component $\propto ν(H^2-H_0^2)$ (with $|ν|\ll1$), which makes the RVM to mimic quintessence. Finally, on the phenomenological side we show that the RVM may be instrumental in alleviating some of the most challenging problems (so-called `tensions') afflicting nowadays the observational consistency of the `concordance' $Λ$CDM model, such as the $H_0$ and $σ_8$ tensions.
