description: The approach of using existing data on economic values of local ecosystem services for an assessment of these values at a larger geographical scale can be called “scaling up”. In a scaling-up exercise, economic values from a particular study site are transferred to another geographical setting, for instance to the regional, national or global scale. This paper proposes a methodology for scaling up ecosystem service values to a European level, assesses the availability of data for conducting this method, and illustrates the procedure with a case study on wetland values. The proposed methodology makes use of meta-analysis to produce a value function that is subsequently applied to individual European wetland sites. Site-specific, study-specific and context-specific variables are used to define a price vector that captures differences between sites and over time. The proposed method is shown to be practicable and to produce reasonably reliable aggregate value estimates.

description: With the HDS (High Dispersion Spectrograph) on the Subaru telescope, we obtained high resolution optical region spectra of three red giant stars (cos 4, cos 82, and cos 347) in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheriodal galaxy. Chemical abundances in these stars have been analysed for 26 elements including alpha-, iron-peak, and neutron capture elements. All three stars show low abundances of alpha-elements (Mg, Si, and Ca) and two stars (cos 82 and cos 347) show high abundance of Mn compared to Galactic halo stars of similar metallicity. One star (cos 4) has been confirmed to be very metal deficient ([Fe/H]=-2.7) and found to show anomalously low abundances of Mn, Cu, and Ba. In another star cos 82 ([Fe/H]=-1.5), we have found large excess of heavy neutron-capture elements with the general abundance pattern similar to the scaled solar system r-process abundance curve. These observational results are rather puzzling: low abundances of alpha-elements and high abundance of Mn seem to sugggest a significant contribution of SNe Ia at low metallicity, while there is no hint of s-process (i.e., AGB stars) contribution even at [Fe/H]=-1.5, suggesting a peculiar nucleosynthetic history of the UMi dSph galaxy.

description: Increasing attention to autonomous passenger vehicles has also attracted interest in an autonomous racing series. Because of this, platforms such as Roborace and the Indy Autonomous Challenge are currently evolving. Electric racecars face the challenge of a limited amount of stored energy within their batteries. Furthermore, the thermodynamical influence of an all-electric powertrain on the race performance is crucial. Severe damage can occur to the powertrain components when thermally overstressed. In this work we present a race-time minimal control strategy deduced from an Optimal Control Problem (OCP) that is transcribed into a Nonlinear Problem (NLP). Its optimization variables stem from the driving dynamics as well as from a thermodynamical description of the electric powertrain. We deduce the necessary first-order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)s and form simplified loss models for the implementation within the numerical optimization. The significant influence of the powertrain behavior on the race strategy is shown.

The Innermost LightBURMAMemory is A Weapon
Original Artist Identity in Song examines the variables deployed when constructing public-facing identity in original songs, and the subsequent interaction of artist identity within the market ecology of popular music. The 2017 album, CousteauX, is a case study in the construction of artist identity.
Insights into the inner workings of creative practice arise, and the analytical auto-ethnographic method observes practice for patterns and themes in the songwriting, production and touring phases of the album’s release. This practice develops a model with which to reveal those song variables with bearing on the public impression of the original artist.
The music video for "When the Bloom has Left the Rose", which forms part of this collection, won Best Music Video at The London Independent Film Awards in October 2020.

This item contains music videos (hosted externally on the YouTube platform) for three songs from the album which forms the research output for this project.

description: Over 30 million lunches and 9.8 million breakfasts are served every day to children in participating American schools through the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. It is challenging for participating local school food authorities (SFAs) to serve appealing, healthful meals while covering food, labor, and other operating costs with USDA reimbursements. But it may be more difficult for some SFAs than others due to cost differences across locations. Analysis of data from a large national sample reveals that after controlling for differences in SFA characteristics, sharp differences in costs remained among rural, urban, and suburban SFAs and across regions. The highest costs occurred in Mid-Atlantic, suburban SFAs and the lowest cost existed in southwest, urban SFAs. Differences in food costs explained the largest share of this variation.

description: We discuss particle production associated with vacuum decay, which changes the mass of a scalar field coupled to a background field which induces the decay. By utilizing the Stokes phenomenon, we can optimally track the time-evolution of mode function and hence calculate particle production properly. In particular, we use real time formalisms for vacuum decay in Minkowski and de Sitter spacetime together with the Stokes phenomenon method. For each case, we consider the flyover vacuum decay model and stochastic inflation, respectively. Within the real time formalism, the particle production can be viewed as that caused by nontrivial external fields. This gives us a novel perspective of the real time formalism of vacuum decay.

description: Background and purpose: For correction of leg-length discrepancy or angular deformity of the lower limb in skeletally immature patients temporary or permanent (hemi-)epiphysiodesis can be employed. These are reliable treatments with few complications. Recently, radiographic analysis of treatment-related alterations of the central knee anatomy gained interest among pediatric orthopedic surgeons. To date the comparison and adequate interpretation of potential changes of the central knee anatomy is limited due to the lack of defined standardized radiographic references. We aimed to establish new reference values of the central knee anatomy. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of calibrated longstanding anteroposterior radiographs of 254 skeletally immature patients with a chronological age ranging from 8 to 16 years was conducted. The following radiographic parameters were assessed: (1) femoral floor angle, (2) tibial roof angle, (3) width at femoral physis, and (4) femoral notch–intercondylar distance. Results: All observed radiographic parameters were normally distributed with a mean age of 12.4 years (standard deviation [SD] 2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12.2–12.6). Mean femoral floor angle was 142° (SD 6, CI 141.8–142.9), mean tibial roof angle was 144° (SD 5, CI 143.7–144.1), mean width at femoral physis was 73 mm (SD 6, CI 72.8–73.9), and mean femoral notch–intercondylar distance was 8 mm (SD 1, CI 7.5–7.7). The estimated intraclass correlation coefficient values were excellent for all measurements. Conclusion: This study provides new radiographic reference values of the central knee anatomy for children between 8 and 16 years and we suggest considering values within the range of 2 SD as the physiological range.

description: Since December 2019 the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has been identified as the cause of the pandemic COVID-19. Early symptoms overlap with other common conditions such as common cold and Influenza, making early screening and diagnosis are crucial goals for health practitioners. The aim of the study was to use machine learning (ML), an artificial neural network (ANN) and a simple statistical test to identify SARS-CoV-2 positive patients from full blood counts without knowledge of symptoms or history of the individuals. The dataset included in the analysis and training contains anonymized full blood counts results from patients seen at the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, at São Paulo, Brazil, and who had samples collected to perform the SARS-CoV-2 rt-PCR test during a visit to the hospital. Patient data was anonymised by the hospital, clinical data was standardized to have a mean of zero and a unit standard deviation. This data was made public with the aim to allow researchers to develop ways to enable the hospital to rapidly predict and potentially identify SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. We find that with full blood counts random forest, shallow learning and a flexible ANN model predict SARS-CoV-2 patients with high accuracy between populations on regular wards (AUC = 94-95%) and those not admitted to hospital or in the community (AUC=80-86%). Here, AUC is the Area Under the receiver operating characteristics Curve and a measure for model performance. Moreover, a simple linear combination of 4 blood counts can be used to have an AUC of 85% for patients within the community. The normalised data of different blood parameters from SARS-CoV-2 positive patients exhibit a decrease in platelets, leukocytes, eosinophils, basophils and lymphocytes, and an increase in monocytes.

description: Recent observational studies of $γ$-ray emission from massive globular clusters (GCs) have revealed possible evidence of dark matter (DM) annihilation within GCs. It is, however, still controversial whether the emission comes from DM or from milli-second pulsars. We here present the new results of numerical simulations, which demonstrate that GCs with DM can originate from nucleated dwarfs orbiting the ancient MW. The simulated stripped nuclei (i.e., GCs) have the central DM densities ranging from 0.1 to several ${\rm M_\odot pc^{-3}}$, depending on the orbits and the masses of the host dwarf galaxies. However, GCs born outside the central regions of their hosts can have no/little DM after their hosts are destroyed and the GCs become the Galactic halo GCs. These results suggest that only GCs originating from stellar nuclei of dwarfs can possibly have DM. We further calculate the expected $γ$-ray emission from these simulated GCs and compare them to observations of $ω$ Cen. Given the large range of DM densities in the simulated GCs, we suggest that the recent possible detection of DM annihilation from GCs should be more carefully interpreted.

description: The objective of this paper was to analyze, in terms of marketing strategy, the geographical indications (GIs) as a competitive differential in the wine market. The paper is based on research that targeted the wine consumers from the Distrito Federal (Federal District) with a high degree of involvement with the product. This research had an exploratory-descriptive nature and used self-administrated structured questionnaires. Marketing strategies, mainly market segmentation and positioning and consumers’ behavior, were its conceptual basis. The target group’s perceptions about several marketing factors which influence wine consumption, especially the geographical indications, were analyzed. According to the consumers, the GIs are a differentiating factor in this market and a relevant characteristic of the wines. Most of these consumers were willing to pay more for wines that have a GI. Finally, considering the niche market analyzed in this study, it was concluded that the GIs are a differentiating factor. Therefore, the producers, wineries and their respective regions that construct a market positioning based on geographical indications and on consumers with a high degree of involvement with the wine product as their target market can obtain positive commercial results.

A structured questionnaire, built in Likert scale, was applied through interviews to all the producers of the districts that best represented the socioeconomic and environmental conditions of the studied micro region. The data were treated with factorial analysis, descriptive statistics and rank tests. A pre-disposition to create company associations was observed among most of the producers; nevertheless, some important elements (for instance awareness and management tools) must still be elaborated in order to implement these associations, especially in one of the studied districts.

description: Fair trade is a commercial practice that aims to help small farmers in underdeveloped countries through mechanisms that can modify the supply chain. This paper, through exploratory, quantitative and transversal research, tries to investigate this structuring effect of fair trade on the productive nodule of the chain, examining the cohesion caused by this intervention on a small Cooperative of Coffee Family Farmers (organic and conventional SAT-no agro toxic substances used in production) in Poço Fundo in the state of Minas Gerais. The social network and supply chain perspectives, suported by Granovetter’s embeddeness theory, were used to analyze the information surveyed. Although a high degree of cohesion was observed, there were also some hints of potential conflicts between the new and the previous fair trade beneficiaries. The pioneers who, having been members of the local Cooperative for a longer period of time and helped to establish fair trade in Poço Fundo, and who produce organic coffee have a greater commitment to fair trade. This is a consequence of their greater emotional and economic investment. In the end, the Cooperative’s success will depend on a greater commitment among the new producers and the producers of SAT coffee.

description: More than 30 years ago Edwards and co-authors proposed a model to describe the statistics of granular packings by an ensemble of equiprobable jammed states. Experimental tests of this model remained scarce so far. We introduce a simple system to analyze statistical properties of jammed granular ensembles to test Edwards theory. Identical spheres packed in a nearly two-dimensional geometrical confinement were studied in experiments and numerical simulations. When tapped, the system evolves towards a ground state, but due to incompatible domain structures it gets trapped. Analytical calculations reproduce relatively well our simulation results, which allows us to test Edwards theory on a coupled system of two subsystems with different properties. We find that the joint system can only be described by the Edwards theory if considered as a single system due to the constraints in the stresses. The results show counterintuitive effects as in the coupled system the change in the order parameter is opposite to what is expected from the change in the compactivity.

Centrifugally Driven Mass Loss and Outbursts of Massive Stars

description: Rotation and mass loss are crucially interlinked properties of massive stars, strongly affecting their evolution and ultimate fate. Massive stars rotating near their breakup limit shed mass centrifugally, creating Be stars with circumstellar disks and possibly driving outbursts. Using the MESA stellar evolution code, we examine the effects of efficient angular momentum transport on the main sequence and post-main sequence rotational evolution of massive stars. In rapid rotators, angular momentum transported from the contracting core to the expanding envelope can spin up the surface layers past the breakup rate, particularly for stars near (or beyond) the end of the main sequence and in low-metallicity environments. We also demonstrate that centrifugal instabilities could arise in rapidly rotating massive stars, potentially triggering the S Doradus outbursts observed in luminous blue variable stars. Prior mass accretion from a binary companion increases both the likelihood and the intensity of centrifugal mass loss. We discuss implications for massive stellar evolution, Be stars, and luminous blue variables.

description: In this work, we present a reduced-order model for a nonlinear cross-diffusion problem from population dynamics, for the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto (SKT) equation with Lotka-Volterra kinetics. The finite-difference discretization of the SKT equation in space results in a system of linear--quadratic ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The reduced order model (ROM) has the same linear-quadratic structure as the full order model (FOM). Using the linear-quadratic structure of the ROM, the reduced-order solutions are computed independent of the full solutions with the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The computation of the reduced solutions is further accelerated by applying tensorial POD. The formation of the patterns of the SKT equation consists of a fast transient phase and a long steady-state phase. Reduced order solutions are computed by separating the time, into two-time intervals. In numerical experiments, we show for one-and two-dimensional SKT equations with pattern formation, the reduced-order solutions obtained in the time-windowed form, i.e., principal decomposition framework (P-POD), are more accurate than the global POD solutions (G-POD) obtained in the whole time interval. Furthermore, we show the decrease of the entropy numerically by the reduced solutions, which is important for the global existence of nonlinear cross-diffusion equations such as the SKT equation.

description: In Nicaragua and elsewhere in Central America, small-scale farmers are weighing the risks of entering into contracts with supermarket chains. We use unique data on negotiated prices from Nicaraguan farm cooperatives supplying supermarkets to study the impact of supply agreements on producers’ mean output prices and price stability. We find that prices paid by the domestic retail chain approximate the traditional market in mean and variance. In contrast, we find that mean prices paid by Wal-mart are significantly lower than the traditional market but that Wal-Mart systematically reduces price volatility compared with the traditional market. We find some evidence, however, that farmers may be paying too much for this contractual insurance against price variation.

description: In this work we have analysed various data on radio pulsars and we have shown that magnetic field decay of a factor about 10-20 is necessary to explain their evolution, in particular to remove the discrepancy between the characteristic and the real ages. The character of the field decay is exponential with a characteristic time of about 3$\times10^6$ yr. Observational data on single X-ray pulsars which radiate due to cooling also support this result.

Der professionsethische Kompass von ChatGPT in der
Sozialen Arbeit: Eine quantitative Analyse
Creators: name: Stettbacher, Julie
Publisher: name: Hochschule Luzern – Soziale Arbeit
Year: 2025

description: Die vorliegende Masterthesis beschäftigt sich mit der Nutzung von ChatGPT in der Sozialen Arbeit unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Ethik. Der Einsatz von solchen Modellen in realen Szenarien birgt potenzielle Risiken, wie beispielsweise das Verstärken von Stereotypen oder Diskriminierung, was sich direkt und nachteilig auf Klient:innen der Sozialen Arbeit auswirken kann. Ziel der Studie ist es daher zu prüfen, ob sich die Normvorstellungen hinter ChatGPT mit professionsethischen Grundsätzen der Sozialen Arbeit vereinbaren lassen.

Mittels einer quantitativen Vignettenstudie (multifaktorieller Survey) wird untersucht, inwiefern sich ChatGPT in Entscheidungssituationen Sozialer Arbeit an den Grundsätzen der Gleichbehandlung, Partizipation, Integration, Ermächtigung und Selbstbestimmung orientiert. Dabei werden verschiedene Merkmale einer Situationsbeschreibung systematisch variiert und die Reaktionen auf die unterschiedlichen Stimuli analysiert. Die Studie vergleicht die Antworten von ChatGPT zusätzlich mit denjenigen von Fachpersonen Sozialer Arbeit und versucht, Unterschiede im Antwortverhalten zu identifizieren und zu erklären.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die Normvorstellungen lediglich im Punkt der Gleichbehandlung decken – es lässt sich weder bei ChatGPT noch bei Fachpersonen Sozialer Arbeit diskriminierendes Verhalten bezüglich Geschlecht oder Nationalität identifizieren. Alle anderen Grundsätze werden von Fachpersonen stärker berücksichtigt als von ChatGPT. In diesen Bereichen sind die Normvorstellungen demzufolge unterschiedlich. Überdies zeigt ChatGPT ein relativ homogenes Antwortverhalten, was der Komplexität sozialarbeiterischer Handlungspraxis nicht gerecht wird. Dies führt zum Schluss, dass ChatGPT (noch) nicht in der Lage ist, ethisch begründete Entscheidungen im Kontext der Sozialen Arbeit zu treffen. Die Studie betont zudem, wie wichtig es ist, Antworten von ChatGPT stets zu reflektieren.

Elastic models for the non-Arrhenius viscosity of glass-forming liquids

description: This paper first reviews the shoving model for the non-Arrhenius viscosity of viscous liquids. According to this model the main contribution to the activation energy of a flow event is the energy needed for molecules to shove aside the surrounding, an energy which is proportional to the instantaneous shear modulus of the liquid. Data are presented supporting the model. It is shown that the fractional Debye-Stokes-Einstein relation, that quantitatively expresses the frequently observed decoupling of, e.g., conductivity from viscous flow, may be understood within the model. The paper goes on to review several related explanations for the non-Arrhenius viscosity. Most of these are also "elastic models," i.e., they express the viscosity activation energy in terms of short-time elastic properties of the liquid. Finally, two new arguments for elastic models are given, a general solid-state defect argument and an Occam's razor type argument.

description: A magyar szőlő-bor ágazat fejlődését alapvetően befolyásolja a Közösségi Borpiaci Reform kapcsán megváltozó új jogi szabályozás, mely három új, egységes borkategóriát vezet be az Európai Unióban. A Balatoni Borrégió termelési szerkezetéből megállapítható, hogy borainak 99%-a földrajzi árujelzőkkel kerül forgalomba. Ezen árujelzők jövőbeli használatához termékleírás elkészítése kötelező. A termékleírás elkészítése felveti a jelenleg használt földrajzi árujelzők régiós elvek szerinti újragondolását. A „Balatoni” kategóriát oltalom alatt álló földrajzi jelzős termékkategóriává alakítva biztosítható lenne a – termelők nagy részének nagyfokú önállósága melletti – régiós borkategória. Erre építve a jelenlegi m.t. minőségi és védett eredetű kategóriákat, szigorú termelési feltételek előírásával, a speciális helyi termékekre szabad korlátozni. A borreform kapcsán felvetődik a dűlők egyértelmű és beazonosítható lehatárolása is, melyre mindmáig nem került sor a Borrégióban. --------------------------------------- Development of the Hungarian wine industry is fundamentally affected by the new legal regulations arising from the Community Wine Market Reform, which introduced three universal wine categories in the European Union. Due to the structure of the Lake Balaton Wine Region, 99% of the wine made here will be market with the place of origin. To use these designations, product descriptions must be prepared. Making these product descriptions raises the issue of re-thinking geographical designations to make them compatible with the Community concept. By turning ‘Balatoni’ into protected geographical indication, a regional wine category could be created, while a large portion of producers could keep their high degree of independence. Based on this, the current categories (quality wine produced in specified region, protected designation of origin) should be limited to special local products, based on strict growing and processing standards. The wine reform also raises the issue of clear and identifiable separation of vineyard stretches, which has not yet been done in this wine region.
