description: The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) promotes the use of metadata in Research Data Management as a means to achieving data findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability (FAIR). These in turn enable or optimize software functionalities essential to automated research processes, such as multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary indexing and retrieval, versioning, provenance tracking, data contextualization, workflow reproduction, compliance assessment, publication. Metadata are also key to Hybrid Artificial Intelligence, i.e. the integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic techniques, which improves Machine Learning systems’ trainability and explainability. In this context, Hub Health is developing a framework for the identification and specification of metadata use cases in health data analysis workflows. This will provide stakeholders, e.g. researchers or developers, with insight into types and roles of metadata in a given workflow phase. For instance, metadata that are more extrinsic to the data, such as data format, are mostly needed during data acquisition. Metadata that are more intrinsic to the data, such as terminologies, may also contribute to the data analysis itself, for instance during feature extraction. The initial case study for the framework is Medical Imaging. This offers a template for workflows that are ubiquitous in medical research and practice (e.g. diagnostics and prognostics) and it can be extended to the analysis of data other than images, e.g. natural language or diagnostic test data. The toolkit KAAPANA, which supports AI-based medical data analysis workflows, is being used to benchmark the use of metadata in medical imaging workflows, to test new ideas and to integrate HMC resources, such as the Hub Health Information Portal or other tools from FAIR Data Commons or other Hubs. In particular, image segmentation in KAAPANA, a phase shared by many imaging workflows, is currently being reviewed from the perspective of the functionalities targeted in HMC (from indexing and retrieval to trainability and explainability).

description: Cognitive stimulation and/or rehabilitation activities for the elderly are generally carried out through face-to-face workshops, however during the covid-19 pandemic, with social isolation, activities and consultations became remote, in order to continue the assistance, mainly to the elderly, who are the population most at risk for the disease. The aim of this study is to analyze remote cognitive stimulation and/or telerehabilitation activities in the elderly as an intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a systematic review study, conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA - Statement) methodology. Among the main results, the feasibility and acceptance of remote cognitive stimulation activities with the use of technologies during the pandemic is highlighted, reflecting on future and expanded use for different realities and cultures. Studies also point to the stabilization and improvement of the cognitive state, depressive and anxious feelings and the maintenance of the independence of these participants with an increase in the scores of the applied scales before and after the interventions. The reinvention of techniques that aim to stimulate and rehabilitate the cognitive health of the elderly, such as the use of technologies as a strategy to replace or supplement face-to-face activities, promotes the cognitive and mental health and independence of the elderly.

description: Warum gibt es so wenig geniale, großartige Künstlerinnen, hat Linda Nochlin 1971 gefragt und wieso hängen die Werke so selten in Museen, ergänzten die Guerrilla Girls 1985. Meine Masterarbeit stellt die Frage, wie vergessen die sogenannten „Lost Women Artists” wirklich waren. Anhand von Archivmaterial, Biografien und Briefwechseln untersuche ich exemplarisch den Erfolg von drei Künstlerinnen zu Lebzeiten und vergleiche diesen mit der kunsthistorischen Rezeption bis einschließlich 1980. Ich gehe hier auf die Produktion des kunsthistorischen Kanons ein und setze mich kritisch mit der Arbeit von Kunsthistorikern auseinander.

Für meine Auswahl an Künstlerinnen habe ich bewusst drei Frauen ausgesucht, die schon zu Lebzeiten beruflichen Erfolg hatten und die eine künstlerische Ausbildung genossen haben. Alle Künstlerinnen sind im globalen Norden lokalisiert und haben Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gearbeitet. Maria Slavona (1865–1931) ließ sich in Berlin und München ausbilden, ging nach Paris, wo sie einen Salon führte und war Mitglied der Berliner Secession. Ihre impressionistischen Werke wurden zu ihren Lebzeiten hoch gelobt und sie selbst mit einer Gedenkausstellung der Berliner National-Galerie 1931 geehrt. Hilma af Klint (1962–1944) erlangte in den letzten Jahren mehr Berühmtheit als „Erfinderin der Abstraktion”. Ihre spiritistische Weltanschauung brachte sie 1906 dazu, abstrakt zu malen. Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927) war eine Dada-Künstlerin, die ihren Körper als Kunst betrachtete, Gedichte im Magazin The Little Review veröentlichte und die einige Forschende mittlerweile als die Erfinderin des Readymades ansehen.

Warum waren diese Künstlerinnen so lange „vergessen” und welche Mechanismen könnten bei der ungenügenden Rezeption eine Rolle gespielt haben? Um einen tatsächlich kanonkritischen Blick zu etablieren, müssen wir dafür auch unsere eigene Disziplin in den Fokus rücken und uns fragen, wie und von wem kunsthistorisches Wissen produziert wird.

description: Current research on the complex effects of climate change on agriculture, food security, and human health is summarized in this review. It examines how climate change may affect agricultural productivity, both negatively and positively. It discusses the difficulties brought on by a rise in pests, a shortage of water, and degraded soil, as well as any potential advantages like CO2 fertilization and longer growing seasons. The analysis goes into additional detail about the consequences for food security, highlighting the threats that changing climate conditions pose to food safety and availability. It draws attention to growing worries about pesticide residues, mycotoxin contamination in crops, and foodborne diseases. The review also discusses the growing risk of vector-borne illnesses impacting human health as a result of changes in disease vectors' geographic ranges brought on by climate change. In order to fully comprehend and address these intricate difficulties, more study is clearly required, as the document's conclusion calls for integrated mitigation and adaptation methods. The review provides a resource for comprehending how agricultural practices, food safety, and public health are impacted by climate change.

description: We revisit the photon polarization tensor in a homogeneous external magnetic or electric field. The starting point of our considerations is the momentum space representation of the one-loop photon polarization tensor in the presence of a homogeneous electromagnetic field, known in terms of a double parameter integral. Our focus is on explicit analytical insights for both on- and off-the-light-cone dynamics in a wide range of well-specified physical parameter regimes, ranging from the perturbative to the manifestly nonperturbative strong field regime. The basic ideas underlying well-established approximations to the photon polarization tensor are carefully examined and critically reviewed. In particular, we systematically keep track of all contributions, both the ones to be neglected and those to be taken into account explicitly, to all orders. This allows us to study their ranges of applicability in a much more systematic and rigorous way. We point out the limitations of such approximations and manage to go beyond at several instances.

description: We report secondary eclipse photometry of two hot Jupiters, WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b, at 3.6 and 4.5 um taken with the InfraRed Array Camera aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope during the warm Spitzer mission and in the H and Ks bands with the Wide Field IR Camera at the Palomar 200-inch Hale Telescope. WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b are Jupiter-mass and twice Jupiter-mass objects orbiting an old, slightly evolved F star and an early G dwarf star, respectively. In the H, Ks, 3.6 um, and 4.5 um bands, respectively, we measure secondary eclipse depths of 0.047% +/- 0.016%, 0.109% +/- 0.027%, 0.176% +/- 0.013%, and 0.214% +/- 0.020% for WASP-48b. In the Ks, 3.6 um, and 4.5 um bands, respectively, we measure secondary eclipse depths of 0.234% +/- 0.046%, 0.248% +/- 0.019%, and 0.309% +/- 0.026% for HAT-P-23b. For WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b, respectively, we measure delays of 2.6 +/- 3.9 minutes and 4.0 +/- 2.4 minutes relative to the predicted times of secondary eclipse for circular orbits, placing 2-sigma upper limits on |e cos(omega)| of 0.0053 and 0.0080, both of which are consistent with circular orbits. The dayside emission spectra of these planets are well-described by blackbodies with effective temperatures of 2158 +/- 100 K (WASP-48b) and 2154 +/- 90 K (HAT-P-23b), corresponding to moderate recirculation in the zero albedo case. Our measured eclipse depths are also consistent with one-dimensional radiative transfer models featuring varying degrees of recirculation and weak thermal inversions or no inversions at all. We discuss how the absence of strong temperature inversions on these planets may be related to the activity levels and metallicities of their host stars.

description: The sudden spin-down in the rotation of magnetar 1E 2259+586 observed by Archibald et al. (2013) was a rare event. However this particular event, referred to as an anti-glitch, was followed by another event which Archibald et al. (2013) suggested could either be a conventional glitch or another anti-glitch. Although there is no accompanied radiation activity or pulse profile change, there is decisive evidence for the existence of the second timing event, judging from the timing data. We apply Bayesian Model Selection to quantitatively determine which of these possibilities better explains the observed data. We show that the observed data strongly supports the presence of two successive anti-glitches with a Bayes Factor, often called the odds ratio, greater than 40. Furthermore, we show that the second anti-gtlich has an associated frequency change $Δν$ of $-8.2 \times 10^{-8}$ Hz. We discuss the implications of these results for possible physical mechanisms behind this anti-glitch.

description: Geometrical arguments suggest that pore-mediated nucleation happens in general in a two-step fashion, the first step being nucleation within the pore, the second being nucleation from the filled pore into solution [Page & Sear, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 65701 (2006)]. The free energy barriers controlling the two steps of this process show opposite dependencies on pore size, implying that for given thermodynamic conditions there exists a pore size for which nucleation happens fastest. Here we show, within the two- and three-dimensional Ising lattice gas, that this preferred pore size tracks the size of the bulk critical nucleus, up to a numerical prefactor. This observation suggests a simple prescription for directing nucleation to certain locations within heterogeneous porous media.

title: Investigation of iris recognition in the visible spectrum
Creators: name: Radu, Petru
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: mong the biometric systems that have been developed so far, iris recognition systems have emerged as being one of the most reliable. In iris recognition, most of the research was conducted on operation under near infrared illumination. For unconstrained scenarios of iris recognition systems, the iris images are captured under visible light spectrum and therefore incorporate various types of imperfections. In this thesis the merits of fusing information from various sources for improving the state of the art accuracies of colour iris recognition systems is evaluated. An investigation of how fundamentally different fusion strategies can increase the degree of choice available in achieving certain performance criteria is conducted. Initially, simple fusion mechanisms are employed to increase the accuracy of an iris recognition system and then more complex fusion architectures are elaborated to further enhance the biometric system’s accuracy. In particular, the design process of the iris recognition system with reduced constraints is carried out using three different fusion approaches: multi-algorithmic, texture and colour fusion and multiple classifier systems. In the first approach, one novel iris feature extraction methodology is proposed and a multi-algorithmic iris recognition system using score fusion, composed of 3 individual systems, is benchmarked. In the texture and colour fusion approach, the advantages of fusing information from the iris texture with data extracted from the eye colour are illustrated. Finally, the multiple classifier systems approach investigates how the robustness and practicability of an iris recognition system operating on visible spectrum images can be enhanced by training individual classifiers on different iris features. Besides the various fusion techniques explored, an iris segmentation algorithm is proposed and a methodology for finding which colour channels from a colour space reveal the most discriminant information from the iris texture is introduced. The contributions presented in this thesis indicate that iris recognition systems that operate on visible spectrum images can be designed to operate with an accuracy required by a particular application scenario. Also, the iris recognition systems developed in the present study are suitable for mobile and embedded implementations.

description: Let $S_λ$ denote the Specht module defined by Dipper and James for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_n$ of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. When $e=2$ we determine the decomposability of all Specht modules corresponding to hook partitions $(a,1^b)$. We do so by utilising the Brundan-Kleshchev isomorphism between $\mathscr{H}$ and a Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebra and working with the relevant KLR algebra, using the set-up of Kleshchev-Mathas-Ram. When $n$ is even, we easily arrive at the conclusion that $S_λ$ is indecomposable. When $n$ is odd, we find an endomorphism of $S_λ$ and use it to obtain a generalised eigenspace decomposition of $S_λ$.

title: Marketing in North-Central Thailand. A study of socio-economic organisation in a Thai market town.
Creators: name: Kuwinpant, Preecha
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Anthropological studies of marketing have generally been both of theoretical and empirical importance, but in Thailand such studies have been very limited owing to a predominant interest in village studies, and the commercial domination of the Chinese. In this dissertation I discuss marketing organisation in Wang Thong, a small town in Phitsanulok Province in North-Central Thailand. Very little work has been done on the social organisation of Thai market towns. By concentrating on marketing and on the social structure of Wang Thong, I explore the pattern of interpersonal relationships between individuals and groups. A study of the market enables me to obtain insights into various aspects of social, economic and political activities. The marketing community can be viewed as a 'moral' community whereby traders are 'related' to each other through kinship, friendship and neighbourliness, though only siblings and parents children relationships are significant where marketing is concerned. I argue from an analysis of trader-customer relations that an emphasis on only one aspect of the relationship, i.e. the relationship based on universalistic or particularistic principles, is misleading, for in Wang Thong the two aspects co-exist as part and parcel of the overall marketing organisation. The market has been dominated by the Chinese and Sino-Thai who, unlike the Chinese in Bangkok where a high degree of 'Chinese-ness' has been preserved, have been largely assimilated into Thai society through education and inter-marriage. Marketing organisation is analysed to demonstrate the linkage between the Chinese in Bangkok, Phitsanulok, Wang Thong and the villages. Wang Thong town is a centre for social, economic and political activities. The analysis touches on the dynamic relationship between traders, officials, and farmers and among the traders themselves. The study shows that traders are also innovators introducing new cash crops and modern equipment to farmers, and thus social integration and economic development can be realised through the marketing network, i.e. by strengthening the links and feeding in information concerning marketing and production. Finally, the study sheds lights on mobility and change within the marketing community, this being a reflection of the general conditions of the rural economy.

description:

March 2020: as Coronavirus continues spreading across the globe, the well-known novel La Peste (1947) by Albert Camus appeals to new readers all over the world. This article offers a new modest reading of La Peste by adopting an approach which emerges from the intersection between Environmental Humanities and Postcolonial Studies. We will explore to what extent the plague is an allegory of human suffering and isolate the different levels on which the allegory may work. Furthermore, we will focus on the link between the representation of the plague outbreaking in Oran and the French-Algerian, multiethnic society. What will the “epidemic fiction” reveal about social structures and practices in the context of colonial Algeria’s last years of existence, and how? The representation of the epidemic seems to mirror the inequalities of that colonial society that is not depicted in the novel, and yet it reminds the reader that societies are constructed and thus, can be improved.

description: Given the importance of species diversity as a tool for assessing recovery during forest regeneration and active restoration, robust approaches for assessing changes in tree species diversity over time are urgently needed. We assessed changes in tree species diversity during natural regeneration over 12–20 years in eight 1-ha monitoring plots in NE Costa Rica, six second-growth forests and two old-growth reference forests. We used diversity profiles to show successional trajectories in measures of observed, asymptotic and standardized tree diversity and evenness as well as sample completeness. We randomly subsampled 1-ha plot data to evaluate how well smaller spatial subsamples would have captured temporal trajectories. Annual surveys in eight 1-ha plots were missing substantial numbers of rare or infrequent species. Older second-growth sites showed consistent declines in tree diversity, whereas younger sites showed fluctuating patterns or increases. Subsample areas of 0.5 ha or greater were sufficient to infer the diversity of abundant species, but smaller subsamples failed to capture temporal trajectories of species richness and yielded positively biased estimates of evenness. In tropical forest regions with high levels of diversity, species diversity from small sample plots should be assessed using methods that incorporate abundance information and that standardize for sample coverage.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Understanding forest landscape restoration: reinforcing scientific foundations for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration’.

description: Madagascar connaît une tendance à la baisse des créations d'entreprises. L'Economic Development Board of Madagascar fait état d'un affaiblissement des ressources. L'EDBM fait état d'une baisse de la création d'entreprises depuis plusieurs années. Avec la tendance actuelle, l'année s'est achevée avec 800 entreprises créées, contre 950 en 2011. Cette baisse s'explique par la diminution des ressources financières des investisseurs locaux potentiels. L'inclusion financière à Madagascar est sous-exploitée. La pauvreté démotive et empêche les entrepreneurs de financer leurs projets. De plus, les taux d'intérêt sont très élevés et les jeunes ont peur d'accéder au crédit. La question de recherche est la suivante: Quelle stratégie adopter pour faciliter la création d'entreprise, et quelle politique formuler par l'Etat pour créer un environnement propice à la création d'entreprise à Madagascar? L'objectif de ce manuscrit est de formuler une approche plus appropriée pour promouvoir et encourager les entrepreneurs à créer leurs propres entreprises dans notre pays. Une recherche documentaire a été menée afin de comparer les résultats théoriques avec les résultats empiriques. Madagascar a une vocation agricole: 85% des Malgaches sont des agriculteurs. Après l'agriculture, l'autre grand secteur pourvoyeur d'emplois pour la population est le secteur informel non agricole. 35,7% des ménages possèdent au moins une entreprise non agricole. Les résultats montrent que 37% des répondants ont entre 52 et 67%. Cette tranche d'âge représente la majorité des entrepreneurs sélectionnés. Ensuite, 24% ont entre 36 et 51 ans, suivi des plus de 68 ans (représentant 21% des répondants). Le retard technologique de la plupart des entreprises malgaches est évident dans la plupart des secteurs. Cette situation est aggravée par le manque d'esprit d'entreprise. L'Etat doit soutenir les entrepreneurs pour réduire les frais d'intérêts bancaires.

description: We present muon spin relaxation ($μ$SR) and specific-heat versus temperature $C(T)$ measurements on polycrystalline and single-crystal samples of the pyrochlore magnet Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$. $C(T)$ exhibits a sharp peak at a $T_\mathrm{C}$ of 0.21 and 0.26~K for the single-crystal and polycrystalline samples respectively. For both samples, the magnetic entropy released between 50~mK and 30~K amounts to $R\ln2$ per Yb. At temperatures below $T_\mathrm{C}$ we observe a steep drop in the asymmetry of the zero-field $μ$SR time spectra at short time scales, as well as a decoupling of the muon spins from the internal field in longitudinal magnetic fields of $\leq0.25$~T for both the polycrystalline and single-crystal samples. These muon data are indicative of static magnetic moments. Our results are consistent with the onset of long-range magnetic order in both forms of Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$.

Year: 2022

description: In this position, we promote the concept of Scientific & Technological (S&T) infrastructures and advise to: Adopt a comprehensive and inclusive approach to infrastructures; Boost the transition to open science; Advance modes for access, optimise models and cover integral costs. Jennifer Herek (Vice-President & Treasurer and Co-Chair of Task Force Openness of S&T) said: “Universities of S&T such as our Members use infrastructures across their entire mission, i.e. for scientific and technological excellence and development, education and training, innovation and services to society. “We therefore promote the broader and more inclusive concept of S&T infrastructures, thus encouraging the convergence and linking of efforts around research and technological infrastructures. “With this position, we hereby underscore the need to improve partnerships and cooperation in infrastructure ecosystems. With the adoption of a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to S&T infrastructures, we hope to create more impact on local, regional and global levels.” Please reference the S&T infrastructure position using http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7193160
0298 War Painting and the Soldier as the New Man
Creators: name: Drobe, Christian
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal

description: With his series of pilot portraits during the First World War, the Viennese painter Karl Sterrer made a significant contribution to the depiction of a modern heroic figure. It has not yet been analysed in the context of the modern soldier and his masculinity, which came under strain in the brutal trench warfare. At the mercy of an abstract war machine, the common soldiers could hardly find heroic moments to impress. Only a few new types of troops, such as the aviators, succeeded in doing so, which gave them a great deal of public recognition and made them part of modern visual culture. Ultimately, they were seen as New Man, above the horrors of modern warfare. At the same time, they were also role models for a noble habitus that met the phenomena of modernity calmly. This aspiration was evident in their elegant countenance, their extraordinary physiognomy. Unlike previous attempts in art history, however, this article provides a look at the conservative take on the subject – by a traditional, academic artist. This focus underlines the extent to which old and new soldierly values overlapped in modernity and became actualised by different artists regardless of their political orientation. The same applies to the stylistic realisation, which intertwines traditional elements with those of new movements such as New Objectivity.

description: Galactic winds are a key physical mechanism for understanding galaxy formation and evolution, yet empirical and theoretical constraints for the character of winds are limited and discrepant. Recent empirical models find that local star-forming galaxies have a deficit of oxygen that scales with galaxy stellar mass. The oxygen deficit provides unique empirical constraints on the magnitude of mass loss, composition of outflowing material and metal reaccretion onto galaxies. We formulate the oxygen deficit constraints so they may be easily implemented into theoretical models of galaxy evolution. We parameterize an effective metal loading factor which combines the uncertainties of metal outflows and metal reaccretion into a single function of galaxy virial velocity. We determine the effective metal loading factor by forward-fitting the oxygen deficit. The effective metal loading factor we derive has important implications for the implementation of mass loss in models of galaxy evolution.

description: This paper shows a novel method to precisely measure the laser power using an optomechanical system. By measuring a mirror displacement caused by the reflection of an amplitude modulated laser beam, the number of photons in the incident continuous-wave laser can be precisely measured. We have demonstrated this principle by means of a prototype experiment uses a suspended 25 mg mirror as an mechanical oscillator coupled with the radiation pressure and a Michelson interferometer as the displacement sensor. A measurement of the laser power with an uncertainty of less than one percent (1 sigma) is achievable.

How Empty are Disk Gaps Opened by Giant Planets?

description: Gap clearing by giant planets has been proposed to explain the optically thin cavities observed in many protoplanetary disks. How much material remains in the gap determines not only how detectable young planets are in their birth environments, but also how strong corotation torques are, which impacts how planets can survive fast orbital migration. We determine numerically how the average surface density inside the gap, sigma_gap, depends on planet-to-star mass ratio q, Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity parameter alpha, and disk height-to-radius aspect ratio h/r. Our results are derived from our new GPU-accelerated Lagrangian hydrodynamical code PEnGUIn, and are verified by independent simulations with ZEUS90. For Jupiter-like planets, we find sigma_gap \propto q^-2.2 alpha^1.4 (h/r)^6.6, and for near brown dwarf masses, sigma_gap \propto q^-1 alpha^1.3 (h/r)^6.1. Surface density contrasts inside and outside gaps can be as large as 10^4, even when the planet does not accrete. We derive a simple analytic scaling, sigma_gap \propto q^-2 alpha^1 (h/r)^5, that compares reasonably well to empirical results, especially at low Neptune-like masses, and use discrepancies to highlight areas for progress.

Analysis of the real activity of school principals in Morocco: A case study of four primary schools in the Rahmna region

description: School principals play a key role in improving student outcomes by mobilizing the school community, fostering teacher motivation and capacity, and influencing the climate and work environment [1,2,3,4]. While the role of principals is crucial, their duties have evolved, and they face increased complexity and demands [5]. Therefore, there is a need to rethink initial training to increase their level of preparation. However, it is not possible to talk about a training program without a minimum analysis of the tasks it involves and the actual activities that characterize it [6]. This research proposes to analyse in detail and in depth the real activity of a sample of four Moroccan primary school principals and to collect, in an ethnographic approach, information on their work and on their school results and academic success. We will work with school principals from the region of Rhamna, who have been in their position for less than three years and who were randomly selected among the respondents to a previous national quantitative survey. We will analyse the actual practices and tasks of the principals based on self-confrontation interviews conducted activity traces (anthropological approach) but also based on 360 videos recorded during the main working sessions between each principal and other actors of the school community. In the field of school administration studies in Morocco (and in Africa), there is no experience with this relatively recent perspective. Thus, we hope that the results of this research will contribute to the construction of a theoretical and methodological framework, which will subsequently become a potential reference for the design of a training program for school principals.
