description: (Schlagwörter: Serious Games, Wissenschaftskommunikation, Wirkungserfassung, Methoden der Medienwirkungsforschung, Systematische Literaturübersicht) Diese Arbeit bietet eine systematische Literaturübersicht zur Wirkungserfassung von Serious Games in der Wissenschaftskommunikation, durchgeführt nach der PRISMA-Methode. Die Untersuchung beleuchtet die unterschiedlichen methodischen Ansätze zur Messung der kognitiven, affektiven, behavioralen, motivationalen und sozialen Wirkungen von Serious Games. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Serious Games wirksame Mittel zur Vermittlung wissenschaftlicher Inhalte darstellen, indem sie das Verständnis und das Interesse der Spielenden fördern und Verhaltensänderungen begünstigen. Dabei identifiziert die Analyse quantitative Methoden, wie standardisierte Tests und Umfragen, als häufig verwendete Ansätze zur Messung von Wissenserwerb und Verhaltensmodifikationen, während qualitative Methoden, wie Interviews und Beobachtungen, tiefere Einblicke in die emotionalen und motivationalen Dimensionen bieten. Mixed-Methods-Ansätze werden als besonders geeignet bewertet, da sie eine umfassende Erfassung der vielfältigen Wirkungen ermöglichen. Die Arbeit deckt zudem Forschungslücken auf, darunter die fehlende Langzeitbetrachtung der Wirkungen und die Notwendigkeit einer stärkeren Standardisierung der Messinstrumente. Die Ergebnisse führen zu konkreten Empfehlungen für zukünftige Studien und die Entwicklung von Methodiken zur Verbesserung der Wirkungserfassung, um das Potenzial von Serious Games in der Wissenschaftskommunikation effektiver auszuschöpfen.

description: The present study attempts to determine the neutral technology, non-neutral technology and input use contribution differences between large and small sugarcane farms. Decomposition technique was used to achieve the study objectives. The contributions of neutral and non-neutral technologies were in favour of large farms. The input use contribution difference of large farms appeared to do better than small farms in sugarcane production. The study revealed that the highest input use contributing factor differences obtained by fertilizer followed by labour, pesticides with seed, and capital between large and small farms. The large sugarcane farms were more productive than small farms

description: The concept of self-dual supersymmetric nonlinear electrodynamics is generalized to a curved superspace of N = 1 supergravity, for both the old minimal and the new minimal versions of N = 1 supergravity. We derive the self-duality equation, which has to be satisfied by the action functional of any U(1) duality invariant model of a massless vector multiplet, and construct a family of self-dual nonlinear models. This family includes a curved superspace extension of the N = 1 super Born-Infeld action. The supercurrent and supertrace in such models are proved to be duality invariant. The most interesting and unexpected result is that the requirement of nonlinear self-duality yields nontrivial couplings of the vector multiplet to Kahler sigma models. We explicitly derive the couplings to general Kahler sigma models in the case when the matter chiral multiplets are inert under the duality rotations, and more specifically to the dilaton-axion chiral multiplet when the group of duality rotations is enhanced to SL(2,R).

description: This paper attempted to identify the socioeconomic characteristics of borrowers causing crop loan default by applying a discriminatant function analysis. The study shows that live c socioeconomic characteristics of borrowers make them defaulters. These include family size. per capita consumption expenditure, size of operated holdings, amount of loans taken from other sources and percentage of total expenditure to total income. These characteristics are usually possessed by large farmers. Thus the study implies that large farmers are generally defaulters of crop loans. These findings have great implications for credit policies in Bangladesh as policies of' hanks favour large farmers in advancing credit.

description: The study was undertaken to analyse the economics of marketing potatoes by farmers in some selected areas of Sadar Upozila of Naogaon district. The study reveals that average potato production is positively related with the size of farm under potato cultivation. The per farm sale was the highest ( 152 quintals) for large farms and the lowest (42 quintals) for small farms and the largest volume of sale (69%) was made at thee market place. The major elements of marketing cost of farmers are transportation, storage and wastage. The study reveals that higher proportion of potatoes (36%) kept for table purpose were stored at home while higher volume of potatoes (33%) used for seed purpose were stored in cold storage. The findings indicate an inverse relationship between farmer's net share and the length of marketing channel i.e. the larger the marketing channel, the lower was the farmer's net share.

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung hocheffizienter, edelmetallfreier Elektrokatalysatoren auf Basis von MEA und HEA für die elektrochemische Reduktion von CO2. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Design der MEA/HEA-Elektrokatalysatoren auf atomarer Ebene. Hierfür werden Basislegierungen hergestellt, mittels gepulster Laserablation zu hochreinen Nanopartikel weiterverarbeitet und als Elektrokatalysatoren in unterschiedlichen Elektrolytlösungen (K2CO3 und K2SO4) getestet. Die Mikrostruktur und die Zusammensetzung der Katalysatorsysteme werden mittels Rasterelektronenspektroskopie (REM), Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) und Röntgendiffrakometrie (XRD) charakterisiert. Da die katalytische Aktivität, Selektivität und Stabilität von Elektrokatalysatoren stark von der Größe und der Oberflächenchemie abhängt, wird der Einfluss organischer Stabilisatoren (Natriumcitrat und Polydiallyldimethylammoniumchlorid; PDA) auf die heterogene Katalyse untersucht. Die elektrokatalytische Aktivität und Stabilität der Katalysatorsysteme wird mithilfe elektrochemischer Techniken, wie die zyklische Voltammetrie, die lineare Voltammetrie und die Chronoamperometrie bestimmt.

description: The Survey of Mortgage Lenders (SML) was launched on 1st April 1992 to succeed the 5% Sample Survey of Building Society Mortgage Completions (BSM) (See GN:33191). The aims were to improve the survey in three principal ways:

a) to broaden the range of institutions surveyed to incorporate other mortgage lenders in addition to building societies and Abbey National. With the entry of the high street banks and then the centralised lenders into the mortgage market, information provided by the building societies no longer represented the whole market in the way it did when the BSM was set up in the 1960s.

b) to extend its coverage to include further advances, remortgages and top-up loans in addition to first mortgages.

c) to increase the level of detail on the questionnaire especially with respect to the characteristics of the mortgage loan.

An important consideration for users of the data is that the SML figures allow continuity with the BSM survey results to be maintained for a reasonable period.

description: Navigation satellites are known from numerical studies to reside in a dynamically sensitive environment, which may be of profound importance for their long-term sustainability. We derive the fundamental Hamiltonian of GNSS dynamics and show analytically that near-circular trajectories lie in the neighborhood of a Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifold (NHIM), which is the primary source of hyperbolicity. Quasi-circular orbits escape through chaotic transport, regulated by the NHIM's stable and unstable manifolds, following a power-law escape time distribution $P(t) \sim t^{-α}$, with $α\sim 0.8 - 1.5$. Our study is highly relevant for the design of satellite disposal trajectories, using manifold dynamics.

description: We present here a new method based on a transfer of population by adiabatic passage that allows to prepare cold atomic samples with a well defined ratio of atomic density and atom number. This method is used to perform a measurement of the cold collision frequency shift in a laser cooled cesium clock at the percent level, which makes the evaluation of the cesium fountains accuracy at the $10^{-16}$ level realistic. With an improved set-up, the adiabatic passage would allow measurements of atom number-dependent phase shifts at the $10^{-3}$ level in high precision experiments.

description: The advent of the new political dispensation in South Africa has seen an exponential growth in the rate of land transformation and encroachment by other land uses into valuable agro-ecological zones. Due to the socio-economic value of the often limited high-potential agricultural land in the country, a reliable determination of encroachment and transformation is necessary for effective monitoring and management of such agro-ecological resources. Using the robust support vector machine classification algorithm, this study adopted multi-temporal, remotely sensed datasets to assess the extent to which the physical development footprint in the uMngeni Local Municipality affected the existing agro-ecological zones from 1993 to 2003 and from 2003 to 2013. The results show a steady increase in built-up areas during the period under investigation. The study demonstrates the value of multi-temporal, remotely sensed datasets and techniques in mapping the vulnerability of existing agricultural land to urbanisation in the study area.

The FES/NIFES provided reliable data on expenditure and income in relation to household characteristics. The results of the survey show how expenditure patterns of different kinds of households vary, and the extent to which individual members of a household contribute to the household income. Although originally commissioned to provide expenditure details for the calculation of weights for the Retail Price Index, the FES/NIFES collected much additional information was also collected on the characteristics of co-operating households and the incomes of their members. It thus became a multi-purpose survey, and provided a unique fund of important economic and social data.

From 1968 the Great Britain FES incorporated a sample drawn from the NIFES to become the UK FES. The FES was replaced in 2001 by a new survey series, the Expenditure and Food Survey (EFS) (see under GN 33334), covering the whole of the UK. The EFS is an amalgamation of the previous National Food Survey (NFS) (see under GN 33071) and UK FES.

description: Although Uganda has poor soils with low organic matter, fertiliser is not widely adopted, especially by female-headed households. Thus we examine the role of gender in inorganic fertiliser adoption using a national household survey. We estimate separate models for female- and male-headed households to ascertain if the drivers of adoption differ by gender. With respect to male-headed households, we find the number of extension visits, age of head of household, and non-farm earnings significant, but education and distance to market insignificant. With respect to femaleheaded households, we find education and distance to market significant, but the number of extension visits, age of head of household and non-farm earnings insignificant. Our results are robust in that they hold using parametric as well as semiparametric single index models. These findings suggest that different policies may be needed to incentivise fertiliser adoption by male- and female-headed households.

description: We use public V-band imaging data from the wide-angle surveys conducted by the ESO Imaging Survey project (EIS) to further investigate the nature of the EIS galaxy cluster candidates. These were originally identified by applying a matched-filter algorithm which used positional and photometric data of the galaxy sample extracted from the I-band survey images. In this paper, we apply the same technique to the galaxy sample extracted from V-band data and compare the new cluster detections with the original ones. We find that ~75% of the low-redshift cluster candidates (z<0.6) are detected in both passbands and their estimated redshifts show good agreement with the scatter in the redshift differences being consistent with the estimated errors of the method. For the ``robust'' I-band detections the matching frequency approaches ~85%. We also use the available (V-I) color to search for the red sequence of early-type galaxies observed in rich clusters over a broad range of redshifts. This is done by searching for a simultaneous overdensity in the three-dimensional color-projected distance space. We find significant overdensities for ~75% of the ``robust'' candidates with z_I<0.6. We find good agreement between the characteristic color associated to the detected "red sequence" and that predicted by passive evolution galaxy models for ellipticals at the redshift estimated by the matched-filter. The results presented in this paper show the usefulness of color data, even of two-band data, to both tentatively confirm cluster candidates and to select possible cluster members for spectroscopic observations. Based on the present results, we estimate that ~150 EIS clusters with z_I<0.6 are real, making it one of the largest samples of galaxy clusters in this redshift range currently available in the southern hemisphere.

description: The vacuum energy for a massless conformally coupled scalar field in a brane world set up, corresponding to de Sitter branes in a bulk anti-de Sitter spacetime, is calculated. We use the Euclidean version of the metric which can be conformally related to a metric similar in form to the Einstein universe (S^4 times R). Employing zeta-function regularisation we evaluate the one-loop effective potential and show that the vacuum energy is zero for the one brane and non-zero for the two brane configuration. We comment on the back-reaction of this Casimir energy and on the inclusion of a mass term or non-conformal coupling.

description: We make progress on three long standing conjectures from the 1960s about path and cycle decompositions of graphs. Gallai conjectured that any connected graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $\left\lceil \frac{n}{2}\right\rceil$ paths, while a conjecture of Hajós states that any Eulerian graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $\left\lfloor \frac{n-1}{2}\right\rfloor$ cycles. The Erdős-Gallai conjecture states that any graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. We show that if $G$ is a sufficiently large graph on $n$ vertices with linear minimum degree, then the following hold. (i) $G$ can be decomposed into at most $\frac{n}{2}+o(n)$ paths. (ii) If $G$ is Eulerian, then it can be decomposed into at most $\frac{n}{2}+o(n)$ cycles. (iii) $G$ can be decomposed into at most $\frac{3 n}{2}+o(n)$ cycles and edges. If in addition $G$ satisfies a weak expansion property, we asymptotically determine the required number of paths/cycles for each such $G$. (iv) $G$ can be decomposed into $\max \left\{\frac{odd(G)}{2},\frac{Δ(G)}{2}\right\}+o(n)$ paths, where $odd(G)$ is the number of odd-degree vertices of $G$. (v) If $G$ is Eulerian, then it can be decomposed into $\frac{Δ(G)}{2}+o(n)$ cycles. All bounds in (i)-(v) are asymptotically best possible.

description: Through the data on Beijing urban residents' purchasing decisions of the name-brand livestock and poultry products, the article analyzes consumers’ food safety awareness about the name-brand livestock and poultry products and the effects on the purchasing decisions of the name-brand livestock and poultry products. Research shows that urban residents obtain information on food safety through TV programs and newspaper and there are a great of problems in food. 55.43% of the consumers consider that the name-brand livestock and poultry products are safer than ordinary livestock and poultry products. The result of the model shows that food safety awareness about the name-brand livestock and poultry products has dramatically affected urban residents' purchasing decisions of livestock and poultry products. The biggest effect is on the brand of eggs and pork as the major daily consumer goods. Furthermore, income and prices are still the determining factors affecting the consumers' purchasing decisions of the name-brand livestock and poultry products. And the features of livestock and poultry products (nutrition, taste) significantly affect the name-brand livestock and poultry products.

description: This paper discusses a community-led fencing project in the Koup, an arid, predominantly sheepfarming district in the South African Karoo. The project was managed by farmers but had a strong empowerment dimension in that fencing team leaders were drawn from the ranks of unemployed people in the town of Laingsburg. These leaders were responsible for recruitment into the project and for the day-to-day operations. By comparing information collected from participants with local census data, we show that the public works programme was appropriately targeted to the poor. This was in part because workers were required to camp on farms for two weeks at a time, thereby resulting in the project automatically selecting for those most committed to earning additional income. In explaining the success of the programme we highlight the role of supportive government officials in sourcing funding, and the importance of leadership in overcoming collective action problems amongst the participating farmers. This holds important lessons for the design of future public works programmes and for the kinds of mixed research methods that may be appropriate for evaluating such programmes.

Jeremy Bentham: Transcripts of Original Manuscripts

description: The aim of the Bentham Project is to produce a new scholarly edition of the works and correspondence of Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), the influential jurist, philosopher and social scientist, whom A.J.P. Taylor described as 'the most formidable reasoner who ever applied his gifts to the practical questions of administration and politics'.

The case for producing a new edition of Bentham's works rests partly on the importance of his thought, and partly on the inadequate and incomplete fashion in which his works were previously published. His writings are remarkable for their range, originality and influence. He was one of the greatest reformers, perhaps the greatest, in the history of English law. He was a major thinker in the disciplines of legal and political philosophy, ethics, public administration, social policy and economics. He has been recognised, too, as a pioneer in other fields ranging from international law and the birth control movement to motivational psychology and deontic logic.

The task of producing the new edition is a daunting one. It involves the exploration of a very substantial body of manuscript material, the principal collections being those of University College London and the British Library. Since 1968, twenty-five volumes of the new Collected Works have been published under the auspices of the Bentham Committee. It is envisaged that when complete the edition will comprise approximately seventy volumes, of which fourteen will be devoted to Bentham's correspondence. Such an edition will, it is hoped, make available a fuller and more inclusive view of Bentham's thought and of his contribution to the science of man and society than has been possible hitherto.

HETG observations allow us to resolve spectrally the velocity profiles of Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe emission lines and monitor their evolution as tracers of the ejecta-circumstellar medium (CSM) interaction. To explain the diversity of X-ray line profiles, we explore several possible geometrical models. Based on the highest S/N 2009 epoch, we find that a polar geometry with two distinct opening angle configurations and internal obscuration can successfully reproduce all of the observed line profiles. We extend this model to seven further epochs with a lower S/N ratio and/or lower spectral-resolution between 2000-2018, yielding several interesting evolutionary trends.

description: This article starts with a profile of African agricultural trade. Using the pre-release version 9.2 of the GTAP database, we then show that the results for tariff elimination on intra-African trade are promising, but these tariff barriers are not as significant as the various trade-related barriers outside of tariffs. Impressive results were forecast by simulating both a 50% reduction in what can be considered traditional non-tariff barriers and a modest 20% reduction in the costs associated with transit time delays at customs, terminals and internal land transportation. Gains from tariff elimination, non-tariff barrier reductions and time in transit cost reductions are likely to be cumulative and would generate very large gains to Africa. The policy implications are clear: while cooperation will enhance the gains, much of the benefits will result from unilateral actions and regional cooperation that does not need the long and drawn-out processes associated with FTA negotiations.

description: The magnetic properties of the two-dimensional $J_{1}-J_{2}$ model with both exchanges $J_{1}$ and $J_{2}$ being antiferromagnetic and a single-ion anisotropy at nonzero temperature are investigated. As $J_{2}/J_{1}<1/2$ ($>1/2$), only the Néel (collinear) state exists. When $J_{2}/J_{1}=1/2$, both the Néel and collinear states can exist and have the same Néel temperature. The calculated free energies show that there can occur a phase transition between the two states below the Néel point when the single-ion anisotropy is strong enough. It is a first-order transition at nonzero temperature. It is possible that the doping in real materials can modify the ratio of $J_{2}/J_{1}$ to reach $1/2$ so as to implement the phase transition.

Road Accident Data, 1998
Road Accident Data, 1985-
Creators: name: Department Of The Environment, Transport
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2001

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.

 The second edition of the dataset (May 2001) includes information on location of accident (Easting/Northing, Road Number etc.) not previously deposited with the UK Data Archive.
Initial condition of scalar perturbation in inflation

description: A formula for the power spectrum of curvature perturbations having any initial conditions in inflation is obtained. Based on the physical conditions before inflation, the possibility exists that the initial state of scalar perturbations is not only the Bunch-Davies state, but also a more general state (a squeezed state). For example, the derived formula for the power spectrum is calculated using simple toy cosmological models. When there exists a radiation-dominated period before inflation, the behavior of the scalar perturbation is revealed not to vary greatly; however, from large scales to small scales the power spectrum of the curvature perturbations oscillates around the normal value. In addition, when inflation has a large break and the breaking time is a radiation- dominated period, a large enhancement is revealed to occur which depends on the length of the breaking time.

description: Quality of selected commercial pickles and chutneys were evaluated by conducting a baseline survey on the consumer attitude towards the products and analyzing the selected products for adulterants and performing sensory evaluation. The pickle and chutney samples were analyzed in selected accredited laboratories for the physicochemical parameters such as fluid portion percent by mass of the net mass, acidity as citric acid (% mg/gm), sodium benzoate (mg/Kg), arsenic (mg/Kg), Lead (mg/Kg), copper (mg/Kg), zinc (mg/Kg), tin (mg/Kg). The result showed that all the commercial samples have fluid portion within the BSTI range except samples ‘D’ and ‘E’ and all the heavy metals were below the detection level. In case of samples ‘A’ and ‘B’ acidity was lower than the optimum value. However, preservative used in the samples are much higher than that of accepted level. From the sensory and organoleptic evaluation it was found that the average scores obtained by the pickles and chutney products for colour & texture, taste & flavor, absence of defects and total scores were satisfactory in comparison to BSTI standard. Concerning to total energy content mango pickles sample ‘A’ has greater energy content than sample ‘B’. Among chutneys sample ‘C’ has greater energy content where sugar is the main source of energy. In conclusion, commercial pickle and chutney may be recommended as safe and fit for consumption as the values for quality and sensory parameters comply with the BSTI standards. The current views of consumers about the quality of commercial pickle and chutney obtained from the baseline survey has been proved wrong after comparing analyzed values with those standards

description: Deep placement of super granular urea is very laborious and time consuming work for manually operation. To overcome the human stress and drudgery to place the super granular urea, a low cost manually operated pull type 2- rows granular urea applicator (GUA) was designed and developed in the department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The performance of machine was done in agronomy field of Bangladesh Agricultural University. The effective field capacity was 0.11 ha/hr at a forward speed of 1.78 km/hr and 78.89 % field efficiency of developed granular urea applicator. The average distance between two dropped granular urea (GU) from left hopper & right hopper were 40.64 cm and 40.89 cm respectively. The average missing rate of GU dropped during field operation was 1.65% for granular urea size of 2.83 gm. The depth of granular urea placement was 7-10 cm in puddle field. The pulling force and draft of the developed applicator were varied between 5-11 kg and 3-6.62 kg respectively. The draft power was 0.027 kW for 55.38 N pulling force at 1.78 km/hr speed. The application rate of the GUA was 170 kg/ha. The results of field and laboratory test of the developed applicator were better in comparison to other models of GUA. The operational cost of the applicator is 390 Tk/ha which is lower than 22.16% of BARI made push type GUA and 53% lower than the manually placement of GU. Average grain yield was highest (5234 kg/ha) when granular urea were applied by the developed applicator and followed by GU applied by BRRI made push type GUA (5213 kg/ha) and GU applied by manually (5209 kg/ha). The highest straw yield (6787 kg/ha) was obtained when GU applied by manually. However the differences of grain yields and straw yields were not significantly difference for applying GU by the applicators and manually operation. The manufacturing cost of the applicator is only Tk.6000. The weight and the drawbar power of the applicator were 15 kg and 0.03 kW respectively. Therefore one person (man or women) is enough to pull the machine. Overall performance of the applicator was found quite satisfactory. For this reason, the applicator may be introduced in Bangladesh to apply super granular urea.

description: A new approach, motivated by Fock space localization, for constructing a reduced many-particle Hilbert space is proposed and tested. The self-consistent Hartree-Fock (SCHF) approach is used to obtain a single-electron basis from which the many-particle Hilbert space is constructed. For a given size of the truncated many particle Hilbert space only states with the lowest number of particle-hole excitations are retained and exactly diagonalized. This method is shown to be more accurate than previous truncation methods, while there is no additional computational complexity.

description: In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for analyzing a large family of Q-learning algorithms, based on switching system perspectives and ODE-based stochastic approximation. We show that the nonlinear ODE models associated with these Q-learning algorithms can be formulated as switched linear systems, and analyze their asymptotic stability by leveraging existing switching system theories. Our approach provides the first O.D.E. analysis of the asymptotic convergence of various Q-learning algorithms, including asynchronous Q-learning and averaging Q-learning. We also extend the approach to analyze Q-learning with linear function approximation and derive a new sufficient condition for its convergence.
