Fachberatungsstellen und die Digitalisierung geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt
Ergebnisse einer Umfrage unter Frauenberatungsstellen und Frauennotrufen im bff
Creators: name: Hartmann, Anna
Publisher: name: Universität Tübingen
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Gewalt gegen Frauen
subject: 360

description: Seit 2017 führt der bff das Projekt „Aktiv gegen digitale Gewalt“ durch. Das Projekt will sensibilisieren, intervenieren und weiterbilden. Cybergewalt als Ausdruck geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt beschäftigt Frauenberatungsstellen und Frauennotrufe bereits seit mehreren Jahren. „Aktiv gegen digitale Gewalt“ bietet nun die Möglichkeit, Fachwissen und vorhandene Erfahrungen in den Fachberatungsstellen zu bündeln und die bedarfsgerechte Unterstützung von Betroffenen weiterzuentwickeln. Im März 2017 wurde an alle 176 Fachberatungsstellen (Stand März 2017), die dem bff angeschlossen sind, ein Fragebogen versendet. Über 60 Fachberatungsstellen gaben Rückmeldungen zu ihren Erfahrungen mit digitaler Gewalt. Da es im Kontext der Beratung von gewaltbetroffenen Frauen bisher weder einen ausgearbeiteten konzeptionellen noch wissenschaftlichen Begriff von „Digitaler Gewalt“ gibt, lag der Umfrage folgendes Verständnis des Phänomens zugrunde: Mit digitaler Gewalt meinen wir alle Formen von Gewalt, die sich technischer Hilfsmittel und digitaler Medien (Handy, Apps, Internetanwendungen, Mails etc.) bedienen und/oder Gewalt, die im digitalen Raum, z.B. auf Online-Portalen oder sozialen Plattformen stattfindet. Wir gehen davon aus, dass digitale Gewalt nicht getrennt von „analoger Gewalt“ funktioniert, sondern meist eine Fortsetzung oder Ergänzung von Gewaltverhältnissen und -dynamiken darstellt.
Constructed Wetlands for Secondary Wastewater Treatment at the San Pedro Tesistán Wastewater Treatment Plant in Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico
Creators: name: Wentzel, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Lake Chapala is the largest lake in Mexico and supplies water to the Guadalajara Metropolitan Zone of Central West Mexico, where it is processed into drinking water serving a population of 4.3 million. The lake is very polluted from a combination of poorly treated wastewater and the industrially polluted rivers that feed into it. Due to immobilization of government funds to upgrade and maintain existing underperforming wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), a more sustainable treatment approach is needed. This report explores the design of an ecological treatment system as an add-on technology to one of these plants, the San Pedro Tesistán WWTP in Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico. Consultation with onsite maintenance personnel, the State of Jalisco Water Commission, and a cultural liaison from the University of Guadalajara provided current plant design, water quality data, and information about locally available materials. From this information, the cheapest option was developed, namely a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland system that was designed to meet Mexican water quality standards for discharge into Lake Chapala. This case study serves to demonstrate the feasibility for communities to better protect their drinking water sources with minimal capital expenditure and through utilization of culturally appropriate design and materials.

description: In this document, we outline a conceptual basis for examining whether there is ‘coherence’ in the Ethiopian education system with respect to equitable learning. Our approach includes a model of accountability relationships within the Ethiopian system using a framework drawing on Pritchett’s (2015) and di Gropello’s (2004) work on accountability within education systems. We also draw on Kingdon et al.’s (2014) approach to political economy analysis as a guide to understanding the multi-dimensional nature of power dynamics within these accountability relationships, and we further consider change over time from the design to implementation of education reforms.
A Technology Transfer Strategy for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' Superfund Basic Research Program

Year: 1993

description: A technology transfer strategy has been developed for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' Superfund Basic Research Program to facilitate the dissemination of information and the transfer of technology from basic to applied research and eventually commercialization. This strategy was developed by examining the evolution of U.S. technology transfer policy and its implementation by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Various methods of technology transfer are proposed by this strategy. These include developing and managing various information databases, the disseminating of information via publication and document mailouts, sponsoring and conducting conferences and workshops, supplying supplemental funds to grantees for scale-up and demonstration research, and providing a resource of contacts for our grantees within the environmental science field for technical assistance and the development of collaborative research efforts.

Microscopic Theory of Nuclear Fission: A Review

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article reviews how nuclear fission is described within nuclear density functional theory. In spontaneous fission, half-lives are the main observables and quantum tunnelling the essential concept, while in induced fission the focus is on fragment properties and explicitly time-dependent approaches are needed. The cornerstone of the current microscopic theory of fission is the energy density functional formalism. Its basic tenets, including tools such as the HFB theory, effective two-body effective nuclear potentials, finite-temperature extensions and beyond mean-field corrections, are presented succinctly. The EDF approach is often combined with the hypothesis that the time-scale of the large amplitude collective motion driving the system to fission is slow compared to typical time-scales of nucleons inside the nucleus. In practice, this hypothesis of adiabaticity is implemented by introducing (a few) collective variables and mapping out the many-body Schrödinger equation into a collective Schrödinger-like equation for the nuclear wave-packet. Scission configurations indicate where the split occurs. This collective Schrödinger equation depends on an inertia tensor that includes the response of the system to small changes in the collective variables and also plays a special role in the determination of spontaneous fission half-lives. A trademark of the microscopic theory of fission is the tremendous amount of computing needed for practical applications. In particular, the successful implementation of the theories presented in this article requires a very precise numerical resolution of the HFB equations for large values of the collective variables. Finally, a selection of the most recent and representative results obtained for both spontaneous and induced fission is presented with the goal of emphasizing the coherence of the microscopic approaches employed.

Immunization Coverage and Surveillance: Challenges for the Poliomyelitis Global Eradication Initiative
Creators: name: Sasse, Andre P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: In May 1988 the Forty-first World Health Assembly committed WHO to the global eradication of poliomyelitis by the year 2000 (Resolution WHA41.28). Global eradication, as has been achieved for smallpox, can be defined as the complete and permanent cessation of the natural transmission of an infectious-disease agent. The broad objectives of the global poliomyelitis eradication initiative are to achieve, by the year 2000, no case of clinical poliomyelitis associated with wild poliovirus, and no wild poliovirus identified worldwide through sampling of communities and the environment. Global poliomyelitis eradication will be highly beneficial. Apart from the huge benefit associated with the control of the disease - more than 200,000 cases of paralytic poliomyelitis are estimated to occur each year - the main cost savings for all countries, developed as well as developing, would be provided by abandoning poliomyelitis immunization. In the United States alone, the expected savings are estimated to be $114 million per year. However, because of the epidemiological features of poliomyelitis, all control efforts directed at the disease can be dropped only when worldwide eradication has been achieved and certified. Two of the main problems to solve before global eradication can be realized are how to implement and maintain a) high-coverage immunization programs and b) effective surveillance systems all over the world. The purpose of this paper is to review the progress and the remaining problems in these two key areas.

description: The notion of multiplier Hopf monoid in any braided monoidal category is introduced as a multiplier bimonoid whose constituent fusion morphisms are isomorphisms. In the category of vector spaces over the complex numbers, Van Daele's definition of multiplier Hopf algebra is re-obtained. It is shown that the key features of multiplier Hopf algebras (over fields) remain valid in this more general context. Namely, for a multiplier Hopf monoid A, the existence of a unique antipode is proved --- in an appropriate, multiplier-valued sense --- which is shown to be a morphism of multiplier bimonoids from a twisted version of A to A. For a regular multiplier Hopf monoid (whose twisted versions are multiplier Hopf monoids as well) the antipode is proved to factorize through a proper automorphism of the object A. Under mild further assumptions, duals in the base category are shown to lift to the monoidal categories of modules and of comodules over a regular multiplier Hopf monoid. Finally, the so-called Fundamental Theorem of Hopf modules is proved --- which states an equivalence between the base category and the category of Hopf modules over a multiplier Hopf monoid.

Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Peri-Urban Rwandan Homes
Creators: name: Fulton, Blake
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Populations across the world use solid-fuel-burning cookstoves to prepare food and to heat homes. Adverse health outcomes have been documented due to exposures to smoke and other toxicants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). We investigated PAH exposure in 180 households in peri-urban Gisenyi, Rwanda, during two surveys one year apart. In each household, the primary cook’s breathing-zone exposure to PAHs was measured over a 24-h period. In addition, we investigated how cooking location, stove type, fuel type, and kindling material affected exposure to PAHs. The mean PAH concentrations were at hazardous levels, comparable to certain occupational exposures. Gas-phase PAH concentrations were significantly higher than particle-phase PAHs (p <0.0001). PAH concentrations were higher in indoor than outdoor cooking settings (p < 0.025). The highest mean personal PAH concentrations in the baseline survey were measured during the use of traditional 3-stone cookstoves (3.20 µg/m^3), but the levels were not significantly different from portable charcoal cookstoves (2.17 µg/m^3, p = 0.54), the most commonly used stove. In the intervention survey, fixed charcoal cookstoves produced the highest personal mean PAH concentrations (3.88 µg/m^3). The households where fuelwood was used as a fuel and small sticks/fuelwood as kindling material had the highest personal mean PAH exposures (5.84 µg/m^3 and 2.62 µg/m^3, respectively). Cookstove operators in households who adopted Mini Moto cookstoves had significantly lower mean PAH exposure compared to those who used portable charcoal cookstoves (1.47 µg/m^3 and 2.31 µg/m^3, respectively, p = 0.04). These findings warrant further exploration into cleaner burning cookstoves and fuels.
BV Analysis of Tachyon Fluctuation around Multi-brane Solutions in Cubic String Field Theory
Creators: name: Hata, Hiroyuki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study whether the tachyon mode exists as a physical fluctuation on the 2-brane solution and on the tachyon vacuum solution in cubic open string field theory. Our analysis is based on the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. We first construct a set of six string states which corresponds to the set of fields and anti-fields containing the tachyon field. Whether the tachyon field can exist as a physical fluctuation is determined by the 6x6 matrix defining the anti-bracket in the present sector. If the matrix is degenerate/non-degenerate, the tachyon field is physical/unphysical. Calculations for the pure-gauge type solutions in the framework of the KBc algebra and using the Ke-regularization lead to the expected results. Namely, the matrix for the anti-bracket is degenerate/non-degenerate in the case of the 2-brane/tachyon-vacuum solution. Our analysis is not complete, in particular, in that we have not identified the four-fold degeneracy of tachyon fluctuation on the 2-brane solution, and moreover that the present six states do not satisfy the hermiticity condition.

Multi-domain electromagnetic absorption of triangular quantum rings

description: We present a theoretical study of the unielectronic energy spectra, electron localization, and optical absorption of triangular core-shell quantum rings. We show how these properties depend on geometric details of the triangle, such as side thickness or corners' symmetry. For equilateral triangles, the lowest six energy states (including spin) are grouped in an energy shell, are localized only around corner areas, and are separated by a large energy gap from the states with higher energy which are localized on the sides of the triangle. The energy levels strongly depend on the aspect ratio of the triangle sides, i.e., thickness/length ratio, in such a way that the energy differences are not monotonous functions of this ratio. In particular, the energy gap between the group of states localized in corners and the states localized on the sides strongly decreases with increasing the side thickness, and then slightly increases for thicker samples. With increasing the thickness the low-energy shell remains distinct but the spatial distribution of these states spreads. The behavior of the energy levels and localization leads to a thickness dependent absorption spectrum where one transition may be tuned in the THz domain and a second transition can be tuned from THz to the infrared range of electromagnetic spectrum. We show how these features may be further controlled with an external magnetic field. In this work the electron-electron Coulomb repulsion is neglected.

Towards in silico toxicity prediction: Analyzing superfund chemicals for their biological properties using the Toxcast data
Creators: name: Nguyen, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: In 1980, the Superfund program was established in response to the growing concern about hazardous waste sites in the United States. Many toxicological exposure assessments, remediation processes and estimation of human health risks at Superfund sites depend on animal studies as a model for assessment. However, with the existence of thousands of potentially harmful toxicants, using a traditional in vivo approach to prioritize chemicals can become time-consuming and expensive. In this project, we set out to prioritize chemicals found at U.S. Superfund sites by incorporating a novel computational toxicological modeling tool, ToxPi, and half-maximal activity (AC50) data from in vitro assays run by the ToxCast program. Focusing on the biological processes (n=11) defined by ToxCast, we defined overall biological potency profiles, derived a rank based on a score for the 244 SPL toxicants which had a statistically significant correlation to the ATSDR 2013 SPL Rankings, and identified unique bioactivity trends.

description: The aim of this note is to determine whether certain non-o-minimal expansions of o-minimal theories which are known to be NIP, are also distal. We observe that while tame pairs of o-minimal structures and the real field with a discrete multiplicative subgroup have distal theories, dense pairs of o-minimal structures and related examples do not.

description: Exposure to air pollution is associated with many serious diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, decreased lung function, cardiovascular disease, and lung cancer. Consequently, air pollution is currently contributing to significant increases in morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite these adverse health effects, the cellular mechanisms underlying air pollutant-induced disease remain largely unknown. In this study we set out to investigate the genome-wide responses of lung cells exposed to multiple air pollutant exposure conditions. We first employ a toxicogenomic approach to evaluate the response of human lung cells exposed to gaseous pollutant mixtures present in urban atmospheres. Specifically, genomic responses are evaluated by identifying transcripts and molecular networks modulated upon exposure to freshly emitted air pollutants. These responses are then compared to those modulated upon exposure to photochemically altered pollutant mixtures, containing secondary pollutants. The results demonstrate that secondary pollutant mixtures produced from primary pollutants reacting under sunlight initiate a robust genomic response in lung cells, far greater than primary pollutants After identifying this trend, we focus a more detailed analysis on potential mechanisms underlying lung cell response to individual secondary pollutants. Here, we evaluate global microRNA expression modifications within lung cells exposed to formaldehyde, a secondary pollutant found in both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Our analysis reveals that formaldehyde induces significant changes in microRNA levels, which may in turn, regulate genes associated with inflammation and cancer. Together, these investigations reveal novel mechanisms potentially underlying air pollutant-induced disease.

description: Η δηλητηρίαση από μονοξείδιο του άνθρακα αποτελεί σημαντικό πρόβλημα δημόσιας υγείας λόγω της χρήσης καυσίμων βασισμένων σε χημικές ενώσεις του άνθρακα και των μη ειδικών συμπτωμάτων που περιγράφονται κατά την εισπνοή των αερίων που παράγονται από τις ατελείς καύσεις. Υπάρχει διαφορετική επίπτωση και επιπολασμός της δηλητηρίασης από μονοξείδιο του άνθρακα σε διάφορα κράτη ανά τον κόσμο, λόγω διαφορών στην οικιακή χρήση καυσίμων, στο γεωγραφικό πλάτος, στο κοινωνικό-οικονομικό επίπεδο, καθώς επίσης και ανομοιογένειας μεταξύ των συστημάτων καταγραφής των περιστατικών. Η θεραπευτική προσέγγιση της δηλητηρίασης από μονοξείδιο του άνθρακα πρέπει να είναι ταχεία. Για την αποφυγή απώτερων νευρολογικών επιπλοκών συνιστάται η χρήση υπερβαρικής οξυγονοθεραπείας, η οποία δεν είναι πάντα υπαρκτή, προσιτή ή προσβάσιμη στα διαφορετικά συστήματα υγείας. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η ανάδειξη των αιτιών, των παθοφυσιολογικών μηχανισμών της δηλητηρίασης από μονοξείδιο του άνθρακα, της ποικιλομορφίας των σημείων και συμπτωμάτων ανά ασθενή, καθώς και η παρουσίαση των νεότερων δεδομένων για τη θεραπευτική αντιμετώπιση. Η δηλητηρίαση από μονοξείδιο του άνθρακα αποτελεί σημαντικό πρόβλημα δημόσιας υγείας και ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό μπορεί να προληφθεί. Η εύκολη πρόσβαση σε μονάδες υπερβαρικής οξυγονοθεραπείας αποτελεί έγκυρη θεραπευτική προσέγγιση. Η ενημέρωση και επιμόρφωση του πληθυσμού όσον αφορά αυτό το σημαντικό πρόβλημα δημόσιας υγείας διαδραματίζει καθοριστικό ρόλο.
description: Carbon monoxide poisoning is a major public health issue due to the use of coal-based fuels and the non-specific symptoms described when inhaling gases produced by incomplete combustion. There is a different incidence and prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning in different countries around the world, due to differences in household fuel use, latitude, socio-economic status, as well as inhomogeneity between incident recording systems. The therapeutic approach to carbon monoxide poisoning must be rapid. To avoid further neurological complications, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended, which is not always available, affordable or accessible in the different health systems. The purpose of the present study is to highlight the causes, the pathophysiological mechanisms of carbon monoxide poisoning, the diversity of signs and symptoms per patient, as well as the presentation of the newest data on therapeutic management. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a major public health issue and a large percentage of this incidence is preventable. Easy access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy units is a valid therapeutic approach. Informing and educating the population regarding this important public health issue plays a decisive role.

description: The blocking probability of a finite-source bufferless queue is a fixed point of the Engset formula, for which we prove existence and uniqueness. Numerically, the literature suggests a fixed point iteration. We show that such an iteration can fail to converge and is dominated by a simple Newton's method, for which we prove a global convergence result. The analysis yields a new Turán-type inequality involving hypergeometric functions, which is of independent interest.

description: As former military bases within the United States are closed and repurposed for civilian use, there is an increased risk that the general public will be exposed to land contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO), potentially leading to injury or death. Recent research has shown how to quantitatively determine the risk of exposure to UXO at Ford Ord, a former Army base in Monterey, CA. It remains unclear how to best communicate this risk to the public. Eight different communications with varying amounts of risk information were developed and randomly distributed to 493 individuals residing near Fort Ord. Surveys were given to assess individuals' cognitive and emotional responses, as well as numerical ability. It was found that risk communications that include graphical figure(s) and are carefully tailored to a specific audience have the potential to increase comprehension among those to whom the risk most matters.
