The ODISSEI Portal: Leveraging Metadata to Enhance Data Discovery
Creators: name: Maineri, Angelica Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Social research is evolving towards the use of complex, interlinked data sources, whereby survey data traditionally deposited at national repositories can be linked to data from other sources, e.g. administrative data stored at statistical offices or commercial data made available by private companies. However, these diverse data sources are scattered across different repositories, lack standardised access requirements and licence information, and are documented using different standards. Such heterogeneity hinders the ability of researchers to find and reuse the appropriate data for their research.

 The goal of the ODISSEI Portal is to make diverse data sources available through a unique search interface by leveraging metadata, therefore leaving data providers in control of the access to their datasets. The ODISSEI Portal consists of three main components: first, metadata from different providers is ingested, harmonised, and enriched using semantic artifacts such as multilingual thesauri. Second, the enriched metadata is used to build a knowledge graph that powers an enhanced search functionality. Third, a data access broker enables the user of the ODISSEI Portal to place a request to access a dataset and forwards the request to the data providers, who validate the request. The data access broker relies on a set of machine-readable licences designed to specify additional provisions that often apply to sensitive datasets.

 A prototype of the ODISSEI Portal is available (https://portal.odissei.nl/) in order to be able to get feedback from the community. Even though the ODISSEI Portal focuses on data providers in the Netherlands, there are plans to make the platform interoperable with the CESSDA infrastructure.

 The ODISSEI Portal fits with the purposes of the session because it shows the value of increasing the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of data to allow social scientists to answer complex and urgent questions, especially during challenging times.

description: It is shown that electro (magneto) static sector of Maxwell's electrodynamics coupled to the dilaton field in a string theory form possesses the symmetry group of the stationary General Relativity in vacuum. Performing the Ernst formalism, we develope a technique for generation of exact solutions in this modified electrodynamics on the base of the normalized Ehlers symmetry transformation. In the electrostatic case, we construct and study a general class of spherically symmetric solutions that describes a point-like sourse of the Coulomb type. It is shown that this source is characterized by asymptotical freedom of the electrostatic interaction at short distances. Also it is established that the total electrostatic energy of this source is finite and inversely proportional to the dilaton-Maxwell coupling constant.

description: Curcumin is a known naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agent derived from turmeric, and it is commonly used as a herbal food supplement. Here, in order to overcome the inherent hydrophobicity of curcumin (Cur), polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised using a solvent evaporation, and an oil-in-water emulsion method used to encapsulate curcumin. Polymeric NPs also offer the ability to control rate of drug release. The newly synthesised NPs were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), where results show the NPs range from 50 to 250 nm. NPs containing graded amounts of curcumin (0 %, 0.5 %, and 2 %) were added to cultures of NIH3T3 fibroblast cells for cytotoxicity evaluation using the Alamar Blue assay. Then, the curcumin NPs were incorporated into an alginate/gelatin solution, prior to crosslinking using a calcium chloride solution (200 nM). These hydrogels were then characterised with respect to their chemical, mechanical and rheological properties. Following hydrogel optimization, hydrogels loaded with NP containing 2 % curcumin were selected as a candidate as a bioink for three-dimensional (3D) printing. The biological assessment for these bioinks/hydrogels were conducted using THP-1 cells, a human monocytic cell line. Cell viability and immunomodulation were evaluated using lactate dehydrogenase (LHD) and a tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay, respectively. Results show that the hydrogels were cytocompatible and supressed the production of TNF-α. These bioactive hydrogels are printable, supress immune cell activation and inflammation showing immense potential for the fabrication of tissue engineering constructs.
The "not so good" thyroid cancer: a scoping review on risk factors associated with anxiety, depression and quality of life

description: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased in recent years, leading to a growing number of survivors facing lifelong consequences. This scoping review investigated anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in thyroid cancer survivors compared to the general population, those with benign pathology, and survivors of other types of cancers. Moreover, we aimed to identify the risk factors associated with anxiety, depression, and QoL in thyroid cancer patients. A total of 727 articles were identified through PubMed, ProQuest, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases, and 68 articles that met the criteria were selected for data extraction. Thyroid cancer survivors have a poorer QoL compared to the general population, population with benign pathology, and survivors of other types of cancer associated with worse clinical outcomes. The main risk factors are grouped into socioeconomic factors, disease-specific factors, management factors, comorbidities, and patient perceptions. Effective communication between the patient and the medical team and behavioral interventions may reduce these risks. Despite the common perception of thyroid cancer as a "good cancer," the findings of this review demonstrate the need to address the risk factors associated with increased anxiety, depression, and lower QoL in survivors.

description: In Stealth Supersymmetry, bounds on superpartners from direct searches can be notably weaker than in standard supersymmetric scenarios, due to suppressed missing energy. We present a set of simplified models of Stealth Supersymmetry that motivate 13 TeV LHC searches. We focus on simplified models within the Natural Supersymmetry framework, in which the gluino, stop, and Higgsino are assumed to be lighter than other superpartners. Our simplified models exhibit novel decay patterns that differ significantly from topologies of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, with and without $R$-parity. We determine limits on stops and gluinos from searches at the 8 TeV LHC. Existing searches constitute a powerful probe of Stealth Supersymmetry gluinos with certain topologies. However, we identify simplified models where the gluino can be considerably lighter than 1 TeV. Stops are significantly less constrained in Stealth Supersymmetry than the MSSM, and we have identified novel stop decay topologies that are completely unconstrained by existing LHC searches.

description: The recently discovered $C_4$ tetragonal magnetic phase in hole-doped members of the iron-based superconductors provides new insights into the origin of unconventional superconductivity. Previously observed in Ba$_{1-x}A_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ (with $A =$ K, Na), the $C_4$ magnetic phase exists within the well studied $C_2$ spin-density wave (SDW) dome, arising just before the complete suppression of antiferromagnetic (AFM) order but after the onset of superconductivity. Here, we present detailed x-ray and neutron diffraction studies of Sr$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($0.10 \leq\ x \leq\ 0.60$) to determine their structural evolution and the extent of the $C_4$ phase. Spanning $Δx\sim 0.14$ in composition, the $C_4$ phase is found to extend over a larger range of compositions, and to exhibit a significantly higher transition temperature, $T_r \sim 65$K, than in either of the other systems in which it has been observed. The onset of this phase is seen near a composition ($x \sim 0.30$) where the bonding angles of the Fe$_2$As$_2$ layers approach the perfect $109.46^\circ$ tetrahedral angle. We discuss the possible role of this return to a higher symmetry environment for the magnetic iron site in triggering the magnetic reorientation and the coupled re-entrance to the tetragonal structure. Finally, we present a new phase diagram, complete with the $C_4$ phase, and use its observation in a third hole-doped 122 system to suggest the universality of this phase.

description: We discuss the energy distribution of free-electron Fermi-gas, a problem with a textbook solution of Gaussian energy fluctuations in the limit of a large system. We find that for a small system, characterized solely by its heat capacity $C$, the distribution can be solved analytically, and it is both skewed and it vanishes at low energies, exhibiting a sharp drop to zero at the energy corresponding to the filled Fermi sea. The results are relevant from the experimental point of view, since the predicted non-Gaussian effects become pronounced when $C/k_B \lesssim 10^3$ ($k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant), a regime that can be easily achieved for instance in mesoscopic metallic conductors at sub-kelvin temperatures.

description: For any group $G$ and set $A$, a cellular automaton over $G$ and $A$ is a transformation $τ: A^G \to A^G$ defined via a finite neighborhood $S \subseteq G$ (called a memory set of $τ$) and a local function $μ: A^S \to A$. In this paper, we assume that $G$ and $A$ are both finite and study various algebraic properties of the finite monoid $\text{CA}(G,A)$ consisting of all cellular automata over $G$ and $A$. Let $\text{ICA}(G;A)$ be the group of invertible cellular automata over $G$ and $A$. In the first part, using information on the conjugacy classes of subgroups of $G$, we give a detailed description of the structure of $\text{ICA}(G;A)$ in terms of direct and wreath products. In the second part, we study generating sets of $\text{CA}(G;A)$. In particular, we prove that $\text{CA}(G,A)$ cannot be generated by cellular automata with small memory set, and, when $G$ is finite abelian, we determine the minimal size of a set $V \subseteq \text{CA}(G;A)$ such that $\text{CA}(G;A) = \langle \text{ICA}(G;A) \cup V \rangle$.

description: We observed the J = 9-8 and 16-15 rotational transitions of the normal species and five 13C isotopologues of HC5N to study its formation mechanisms toward the cyanopolyyne peak in Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, with the 45-m radio telescope of Nobeyama Radio Observatory. We detected the five 13C isotopologues with high signal-to-noise ratios between 12 and 20, as well as the normal species. The abundance ratios of the five 13C isotopologues of HC5N are found to be 1.00:0.97:1.03:1.05:1.16 (0.19) for [H13CCCCCN]:[HC13CCCCN]:[HCC13CCCN]:[HCCC13CCN]:[HCCCC13CN]. We do not find any significant differences among the five 13C isotopologues. The averaged [HC5N]/[13C isotopologues] abundance ratio is determined to be 94 (6), which is slightly higher than the local interstellar elemental 12C/13C ratio of 60-70. Possible formation pathways are discussed on the basis of these results.

description: It is thought that a class of broad absorption line (BAL) QSOs, characterised by Fe absorption features in their UV spectra (called `FeLoBALs'), could mark a transition stage between the end of an obscured starburst event and a youthful QSO beginning to shed its dust cocoon, where Fe has been injected into the interstellar medium by the starburst. To test this hypothesis we have undertaken deep SCUBA-2 850 $μ$m observations of a sample of 17 FeLoBAL QSOs with 0.89 $\leq$ z $\leq$ 2.78 and -23.31 $\leq$ M$_{B}$ $\leq$-28.50 to directly detect an excess in the thermal emission of the dust which would probe enhanced star-formation activity. We find that FeLoBALs are not luminous sources in the submillimetre, none of them are individually detected at 850 $μ$m, nor as a population through stacking ($F_{s}=1.14\pm0.58$ mJy). Statistical and survival analyses reveal that FeLoBALs have sub-mm properties consistent with BAL and non-BAL QSOs with matched redshifts and magnitudes. An SED fitting analysis shows that the FIR emission is dominated by AGN activity, and a starburst component is required only in 6/17 sources of our sample; moreover the integrated total luminosity of 16/17 sources is L$\geq$10$^{12}$L$_{\odot}$, high enough to classify FeLoBALs as infrared luminous. In conclusion, we do not find any evidence in support of FeLoBAL QSOs being a transition population between a ULIRG and an unobscured QSO; in particular, FeLoBALs are not characterized by a cold starburst which would support this hypothesis.

A motivational approach to perfectionism and striving for excellence

description: Perfectionism has been the object of many disputes. One such debate pertains to the nature of perfectionistic strivings. Whereas perfectionistic concerns (PC) have been shown to correlate with negative outcomes, perfectionistic strivings (PS) have been associated with mixed outcomes. This view of perfectionism assumes a motivational perspective; however, commonly used questionnaires assess motivation only implicitly. To create a more explicit measure of motivation as regard perfectionism, we aimed to assess perfectionism in post-secondary education based on Deci and Ryan’s self-determination continuum. We posit that introjected motivation represents the variance common to both dimensions of perfectionism. External motivation is considered to be specific to PC and identified motivation to PS. Amotivation represents a lack of meaningful striving. Intrinsic motivation, lacking perfectionism’s pressure, is conceptualized to be a self-determined form of striving for excellence. We further posited that this continuum is implicitly underlain by a continuum of self-definition as defined by Blatt. The resulting questionnaire showed an adequate structure with ESEM, followed a simplex structure, and had adequate reliabilities (Study 1a/Study 2). It also showed adequate convergent validity (Study 1b/Study 2). Finally, the questionnaire proved to be invariant over a 6-week period (Study 2). Results suggest that the degree of active goal pursuit, in addition to standards setting, could be a distinguishing characteristic between dimensions of perfectionism as well as striving for excellence.

description: The influence of the core polarization on the effective nuclear interaction of asymmetric nuclear matter is calculated in the framework of the induced interaction theory. The strong isospin dependence of the density and spin density fluctuations is studied along with the interplay between the neutron and proton core polarizations. Moving from symmetric nuclear matter to pure neutron matter the crossover of the induced interaction from attractive to repulsive in the spin singlet state is determined as a function of the isospin imbalance.The density range in which it occurs is also determined. For the spin triplet state the induced interaction turns out to be always repulsive. The implications of the results for the neutron star superfluid phases are shortly discussed.

description: Representations of the Self and the Other in travel writing. Czech reflections on their global standing around 1918 In historical research, the relationship between Europe and the non-European world around 1918 has so far been looked at mainly as that of colonizers and colonized. This paper, however, focuses on a region usually left out of this picture: As an East Central European case study, the focus lies on the contacts and relations of the Czech society with the non-European world roughly between 1890 and 1938, concentrating mainly on aspects of national representations in Czech travelogues on non-European regions. Beginning in the last decade of the 9th century, and continuing throughout the Interwar years, the dealings with non-European regions grew rapidly in the Czech society, involving the economic sphere, tourism, diplomacy, as well as information available on far-away regions, including a growing number of travelogues. Various themes in these travelogues discuss the global presence of the Czech nation: The discussion of the Czech economic export reveals the desire to be globally more present; the recurring description of Czech expatriates suggests a global presence of the nation; while, on the other hand, the disinterested reactions toward the Czech nation in Africa or Asia call in question the self-proclaimed global activity especially in the Interwar years.

Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2010

description: Civilizing missions à la polonaise: Poland, Europe and the East With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the onset of the Eastern enlargement of the EU the political geography of Europe has become fluid and contested. The article investigates how Polish political actors in this context redefined Poland’s place in Europe both in relation to “the West” and with regard to their Eastern neighbors. Already before 1989 these blueprints involved transnational spaces legitimated by an interpretation of Poland’s past in the East, but also by its “Western” tradition. These spatial semantics can be interpreted as a peculiar civilizing mission. After elaborating this concept the article briefly introduces the historical narratives which were integrated into the Polish vision of EU-rope. The Eastern axis of Polish concepts of European space has remained unchallenged while discourses on modernization as a mode of ascribing spatial hierarchies were used as tools of getting access to a new “civilizational space”. As the EU was struggling with internal reforms itself the Polish position in the Union – based on a leading role in Eastern and Central Europe – strengthened.

description: Back to the world market – Two Hungarian companies in the electrical industry after the First World War This paper describes how two Hungarian companies, leaders of the electrical industry in their home market, adjusted their strategies to the fundamental political and economic changes after the First World War. The transnational perspective sharpens attention to these small actors ability / efforts to balance between the transnational flows of capital, knowledge, people and states’ attempts to control them by extending their room to manoeuvre between economic policies in their home and host market, interest conflicts within the structure of multinational conglomerates so as international capital flows motivated by political as well as profit reasons. This study argues that international cartels could, under specific circumstances, offer a solution for the adjustment to the fundamental political and economic changes by extending their widely shrunken home market, especially circumventing economic nationalism, and by giving access to transnational knowledge circulation, too. Means of state industrial development in Hungary had to be adjusted to the new circumstances as well, like supporting the companies’ position for international cartel negotiations.

1918 als Zäsur?
Creators: name: Wolf, Nikolaus
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2010

description: Was 1918 a break in the modern history of East-Central-Europe? While a look at the change in political and legal institutions suggests that it was indeed, the economic development of the region shows a striking continuity between 1890 and 1938. Per capita income continued to follow its pre-war trend of a very slow increase, and the pattern of trade flows changed surprisingly little. This paper suggests that 1918 can be seen as a structural break in terms of a coordination problem. The political actors after 1918 faced (and shaped) an environment that tended to be more democratic, but significantly less stable than prior to the war. Among the common aims of policymakers was it to meet the increased demand for public goods in their constituencies, such as better access to education and new amenities such as electricity or improvements to infrastructure. This implied efforts to realise the vast economic potential of the region and foster large-scale industrialisation, which in turn required access to foreign markets. While the underlying problem is more general it can be illustrated for capital markets within the macroeconomic policy trilemma. Policymakers tried to re-introduce the Gold Standard after the war, hence keep markets open with fixed exchange rates in order to attract foreign capital. The latter was necessary given the massive capital-shortage of the region. But due to the institutional instability of the region, capital inflows were limited. Moreover, the Gold Standard strategy seriously limited the scope for domestic economic policies, such as short-run stabilisation in response to a crisis. With the great depression and the ensuing political radicalisation (not at least in Germany), the Gold Standard became untenable and was replaced by a system of trade and currency blocs. The economic expansion of the late 90s did not reflect any solution to the coordination problem, but was largely driven by rearmament policies that foreshadowed the Second World War. It was not before the division of Europe that this coordination problem was settled, under the hegemony of the USA in the West and the USSR in the East. After 1945 we observe a break not only in the political and legal institutions but also in terms of economic development.

description: Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments were performed on the network compounds Ba1-xSrxAl2O4 at temperatures between 15 and 800 K. The ferroelectric phase of the parent BaAl2O4 is largely suppressed by the Sr-substitution and disappears for $x\geq0.1$. Structural refinements reveal that the isotropic atomic displacement parameter ($B_{\rm iso}$) in the bridging oxygen atom for $x\geq0.05$ is largely independent of temperature and retains an anomalously large value in the adjacent paraelectric phase even at the lowest temperature. The $B_{\rm iso}$ systematically increases as $x$ increases, exhibiting an especially large value for $x\geq0.5$. According to previous electron diffraction experiments for Ba1-xSrxAl2O4 with $x\geq0.1$, strong thermal diffuse scattering occurs at two reciprocal points relating to two distinct soft modes at the M- and K-points over a wide range of temperatures below 800 K [Y. Ishii et al., Sci. Rep. 6, 19154 (2016)]. Although the latter mode disappears at approximately 200 K, the former does not condense, at least down to 100 K. On the contrary, it still survives at low-temperature. The anomalously large $B_{\rm iso}$ observed in this study is ascribed to these soft modes existing in a wide temperature range.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) has the potential to improve communications security by offering cryptographic keys whose security relies on the fundamental properties of quantum physics. The use of a trusted quantum receiver on an orbiting satellite is the most practical near-term solution to the challenge of achieving long-distance (global-scale) QKD, currently limited to a few hundred kilometers on the ground. This scenario presents unique challenges, such as high photon losses and restricted classical data transmission and processing power due to the limitations of a typical satellite platform. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of such a system by implementing a QKD protocol, with optical transmission and full post-processing, in the high-loss regime using minimized computing hardware at the receiver. Employing weak coherent pulses with decoy states, we demonstrate the production of secure key bits at up to 56.5 dB of photon loss. We further illustrate the feasibility of a satellite uplink by generating secure key while experimentally emulating the varying channel losses predicted for realistic low-Earth-orbit satellite passes at 600 km altitude. With a 76 MHz source and including finite-size analysis, we extract 3374 bits of secure key from the best pass. We also illustrate the potential benefit of combining multiple passes together: while one suboptimal "upper-quartile" pass produces no finite-sized key with our source, the combination of three such passes allows us to extract 165 bits of secure key. Alternatively, we find that by increasing the signal rate to 300 MHz it would be possible to extract 21570 bits of secure finite-sized key in just a single upper-quartile pass.

description: Context. The wind mass transfer from a giant to its white dwarf companion in symbiotic binaries is not well understood. For example, the efficiency of wind mass transfer of the canonical Bondi-Hoyle accretion mechanism is too low to power the typical luminosities of the accretors. However, recent observations and modelling indicate a considerably more efficient mass transfer in symbiotic binaries. Aims. We determine the velocity profile of the wind from the giant at the near-orbital-plane region of eclipsing S-type symbiotic binaries EG And and SY Mus, and derive the corresponding spherical equivalent of the mass-loss rate. With this approach, we indicate the high mass transfer ratio. Methods. We achieved this aim by modelling the observed column densities taking into account ionization of the wind of the giant, whose velocity profile is derived using the inversion of Abel's integral operator for the hydrogen column density function. Results. Our analysis revealed the spherical equivalent of the mass-loss rate from the giant to be a few times 10^{-6}M_{Sun}/yr, which is a factor of >=10 higher than rates determined by methods that do not depend on the line of sight. This discrepancy rules out the usual assumption that the wind is spherically symmetric. As our values were derived from near-orbital-plane column densities, these values can be a result of focusing the wind from the giant towards the orbital plane. Conclusions. Our findings suggests that the wind from giants in S-type symbiotic stars is not spherically symmetric, since it is enhanced at the orbital plane and, thus, is accreted more effectively onto the hot component.

description: A radiopure cadmium tungstate crystal scintillator, enriched in 106-Cd to 66%, with mass of 216 g (106-CdWO4) was used in coincidence with four ultra-low background HPGe detectors contained in a single cryostat to search for double beta decay processes in 106-Cd. New improved half-life limits on the double beta processes in 106-Cd have been set on the level of 1e20-1e21 yr after 13085 h of data taking deep underground (3600 m w.e.) at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of INFN (Italy). In particular, the limit on the two neutrino electron capture with positron emission T1/2 >1.1e21 yr, has reached the region of theoretical predictions. The resonant neutrinoless double electron captures to the 2718, 2741 and 2748 keV excited states of 106-Pd are restricted on the level of T1/2 > 8.5e20 - 1.4e21 yr.

description: We report an anti-levitation behavior of Landau levels in vanishing magnetic fields in a high quality hetero-junction insulated-gated field-effect transistor. We found, in the Landau fan diagram of electron density versus magnetic field, the positions of the magneto-resistance minima at Landau level fillings ν=4, 5, 6 move below the 'traditional' Landau level line to lower electron densities. Moreover, the even and odd filling factors show quantitatively different behaviors in anti-levitation, suggesting that the exchange interactions may be important.

description: Delay differential equations take into account the transmission time of the information. These delayed signals may turn a predictable system into chaotic, with the usual fractalization of the phase space. In this work, we study the connection between delay and unpredictability, in particular we focus on the Wada property in systems with delay. This topological property gives rise to dramatical changes in the final state for small changes in the history functions.
Telekommunikation in Britisch-Indien (ca. 1850–1930).

description: So far, the history of the telegraph has been told from a trans-Atlantic perspective. Likewise, the history of the telegraph has been written as a history of technological invention and scientific progress measurable in the mileage of underwater cables. However, the social consequences of the new communication medium have been neglected almost completely. Taking South-Asia (British India) into consideration it becomes evident that the history of the telegraph is by far more complex than hitherto assumed. In the first place contemporary telegraphic connection across the Atlantic was as important as connecting British India with the centre of the British Empire, i.e. London, simply for economic and financial reasons. Secondly, the invention of a practicable telegraphic system took place in the USA, in Great Britain and British India simultaneously during the 1830s. In British India one of the world’s largest telegraph system was constructed outside Europe and the USA. Thirdly, completing the world-wide network of telegraph systems at the beginning of the twentieth century caused massive tariff-competition among the globally acting telegraph cartells leading to strikes in the US and British India which had enormous social consequences for the telegraph personnel. Fourthly, as in Europe and the USA, the possibility to telegraphically transmit information created new forms of news, journalism and newspaper-layouts in British India (as well as in other parts of the world) and helped to establish an all-India public sphere by the 1920s.

Nationale Unterschiede im westeuropäischen Massenkonsum.

description: National Differences in Western European Mass Consumption. Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy, 1950–1970 The article takes issue with the notions of “Americanization” and “Europeanization” of mass consumption in the period following World War II. It is argued that, for this period, processes of Americanization and globalization have been overestimated. Even where influence from the outside made itself felt, it took different forms in different countries. The article examines the following dimensions of mass consumption: motorization, domestic equipment, advertising, retail trade and nutrition, and consumers´ organizations. Because developments in these fields attenuated regional and social divisions within countries, the national cultures became actually more homogenous. The transition to mass consumption was a distinctively national experience which helps to explain the resistance to globalization processes since the 1970s.

„Brüderbund und Freundschaft mit den sozialistischen Ländern darf nicht spekulativ genutzt werden.“

description: „Brotherhood and friendship with socialist countries must not be used for speculation“. German-Polish illicit trade in Leipzig as consumer culture „from below“ During the communist rule in the Eastern Bloc the economy of shortage influenced everyday life in the GDR and Poland in a decisive way. While facing problems of supply, people in Leipzig developed informal practices like contraband trade to fulfil their needs and wishes of consumption. Transborder encounters between the societies of GDR and Poland in the seventies and eighties fuelled an exchange of goods of shortage in Leipzig’s contraband trade structures. Practices reached from spontaneous help by acquaintances to professionalized groups of smugglers and dealers. The grade of implicitness, stability and structure of this informal phenomenon can be described as an own “culture of consumption from below”. In the atmosphere of political and social difficulties and distrust this led to a negative perception by the government bodies and by the public sphere of Leipzig alike.

description: We predict a two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic (AFM) boron (designated as M-boron) by using ab initio evolutionary methodology. M-boron is entirely composed of B20 clusters in a hexagonal arrangement. Most strikingly, the highest valence band of M-boron is isolated, strongly localized, and quite flat, which induces spin polarization on each cap of the B20 cluster. This flat band originates from the unpaired electrons of the capping atoms, and is responsible for magnetism. M-boron is thermodynamically metastable and is the first cluster-based 2D magnetic material in the elemental boron system.

Internationalisierung und Kulturtransfer von Marken

Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag

description: Internationalisation and cultural transfer of brands Everyone knows them – brands which are known all over the world and bring up coherent assignments. But how did such brands develop and become internationally intelligible carriers of meaning working cross-cultural? Within a process of Internationalisation brands received a check of multiple assimilation both to changes in their home- and main-markets and to new forms of communication-channels and -rooms. Thereby the prime markets took wide influence on the definition and direction of this assimilation which was increasingly geared by internationally understood value-based concepts. Coeval transatlantic transfers proceeded that were not only reciprocal and unique but bred another transfer – a re-transfer – on the basis of a transfer that occurred before. Using the example of the Jaguar and Porsche brands it is shown on the basis of a theoretical as well as empirical comparative study how corporate brand strategies and brand communication evolved within the automobile industry.

description: This study analyzes the impact of Venezuelan migrants on local frustration levels in Colombia. The study found a relationship between the influx of Venezuelan migrants and the level of frustration among locals towards migrants, infrastructure, government, and geopolitics. Additionally, we identified that frustration types have an impact on other frustrations. The study used articles from a national newspaper in Colombia from 2015 to 2020. News articles were coded during a previous study qualitatively and categorized into frustration types. The code frequencies were then used as variables in this study. We used path modeling to statistically study the relationship between dependent and independent variables through mediator variables. This paper aims to fill the research gap by contributing a unique model to the literature and insights about host community attitudes towards migrants and national migration response.
