description: This study concerns the construction and the preservation of religious buildings, mainly from an historical point of view by reconstructing the urban city laws since the Italian Unification, through Fascism, the two World Wars and finally the rebuilding during the second postwar period. At the beginning of the Seventies, the first devolution occurred and places of worship, that had been constructed or consecrated for religious purposes, began to be provided with city plans and each federalist intervention occurred without any constitutional changes. It was only at the beginning of the new Millennium that the most significant constitutional reform happened with the overturning of the State and the Regions' legislative competences: the general legislative competence had been conferred to the Regions, while the State remained in charge of specific topics listed in the Constitution. However, even if the competence of the State and the religious Confessions relationships continued to be regulated by the State's laws, the construction of religious buildings began to be controlled by the local authorities. In the last chapter I have focused my attention on the specific case of Lombardia's law for the governance of territories (legge per il governo del territorio), in which five articles concerns the construction of religious buildings. The Lombard law maker demands a long series of requirements of religious Confessions in order to consider a probable construction of a religious edifice or a change in the use of an existing building. There seems to be no problem at present if the religious faith has stipulated an "agreement" with the State. However, the attempt to exclude the Islamic faith is evident, since that it has not made any agreements with the Public Authority. The unconstitutionality of Lombardia's urban city law is therefore evident because it is in contrast with the Italian Constitution articles 3,8, 19 and 20, which represent Italian Secularism and therefore an equal treatment for every religious faith without discrimination or preference for any of them.

description: The 1-bit compressed sensing framework enables the recovery of a sparse vector x from the sign information of each entry of its linear transformation. Discarding the amplitude information can significantly reduce the amount of data, which is highly beneficial in practical applications. In this paper, we present a Bayesian approach to signal reconstruction for 1-bit compressed sensing, and analyze its typical performance using statistical mechanics. Utilizing the replica method, we show that the Bayesian approach enables better reconstruction than the L1-norm minimization approach, asymptotically saturating the performance obtained when the non-zero entries positions of the signal are known. We also test a message passing algorithm for signal reconstruction on the basis of belief propagation. The results of numerical experiments are consistent with those of the theoretical analysis.

title: Grundvorstellungen zur Multiplikation und Division von Bruchzahlen und ihre Entwicklung über die Zeit
Creators: name: Neuwirth, Alexander
Year: 2021

description: Das Erwerben geeigneter Grundvorstellungen zählt zu einer der wichtigsten Aufgaben des Mathematikunterrichts. Bereits bei der Bruchrechnung, welche in der 6. Schulstufe erstmals unterrichtet wird, gelingt es teilweise nicht die benötigten Vorstellungen aufzubauen, was zu Verständnisproblemen und somit auch zu Schwierigkeiten im Umgang mit Textaufgaben führen kann. Dieser Mangel kann mit der Zeit zunehmen, aber auch durch weiteren Unterricht geschmälert oder sogar behoben werden. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es festzustellen, in welchem Ausmaß Grundvorstellungen zur Multiplikation und Division von Bruchzahlen im heutigen Mathematikunterricht am Gymnasium „BG und BRG St. Pölten“ aufgebaut werden und wie sich diese im Laufe der weiteren Schulzeit entwickeln. Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragestellung wurden mehrere Klassen des genannten Gymnasiums mit Hilfe eines Online-Fragebogens zu verschiedenen Grundvorstellungen befragt und die Daten einheitlich und mit Blick auf unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte ausgewertet. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler der befragten Schule in ihrer Schullaufbahn immer mehr passende Grundvorstellungen im Bereich der Multiplikation und Division von Brüchen aufbauen. Zusätzlich schnitt die Stichprobe in vielen Fällen deutlich besser ab, als es in Vergleichsstudien der Fall war, was auf mehrere Faktoren zurückgeführt werden könnte, welche in der Arbeit noch genauer erläutert werden.
description: Acquiring fitting mental models is one of the most important aims in mathematics education. Even the introduction of fractions, which is taught in 6th grade for the first time, can lead to a lack of comprehension and therefore also to difficulties when dealing with word problems. This shortage can evolve into an even greater deficit but can also be reduced or even remedied by further education. The objective of this work is to determine the extent to which mental models for multiplication and division of fractions are built up in today’s mathematics educa-tion at the “Gymnasium BG und BRG St.Pölten“ and how they develop in the process of further schooling. For dealing with this question several classes of the mentioned school were given an online questionnaire asking for different mental models. The obtained data was then evaluated in a uniform way several times, each having a different focus. The results of the empirical study suggest that the longer the mathematics education lasts the more the partici-pating students develop fitting mental models for the multiplication and division of fractions. Furthermore the sample group performed considerably better than groups of comparative studies which could be attributed to several factors itemised in this work.

description: With the rise in the wholesale adoption of Deep Learning (DL) models in nearly all aspects of society, a unique set of challenges is imposed. Primarily centered around the architectures of these models, these risks pose a significant challenge, and addressing these challenges is key to their successful implementation and usage in the future. In this research, we present the security challenges associated with the current DL models deployed into production, as well as anticipate the challenges of future DL technologies based on the advancements in computing, AI, and hardware technologies. In addition, we propose risk mitigation techniques to inhibit these challenges and provide metrical evaluations to measure the effectiveness of these metrics.

Ontology-based Consistent Specification and Scalable Execution of Sensor Data Acquisition Plans in Cross-Domain loT Platforms

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: Nowadays there is an increased number of vertical Internet of Things (IoT) applications that have been developed within IoT Platforms that often do not interact with each other because of the adoption of different standards and formats. Several efforts are devoted to the construction of software infrastructures that facilitate the interoperability among heterogeneous cross-domain IoT platforms for the realization of horizontal applications. Even if their realization poses different challenges across all layers of the network stack, in this thesis we focus on the interoperability issues that arise at the data management layer. Starting from a flexible multi-granular Spatio-Temporal-Thematic data model according to which events generated by different kinds of sensors can be represented, we propose a Semantic Virtualization approach according to which the sensors belonging to different IoT platforms and the schema of the produced event streams are described in a Domain Ontology, obtained through the extension of the well-known ontologies (SSN and IoT-Lite ontologies) to the needs of a specific domain. Then, these sensors can be exploited for the creation of Data Acquisition Plans (DAPs) by means of which the streams of events can be filtered, merged, and aggregated in a meaningful way. Notions of soundness and consistency are introduced to bind the output streams of the services contained in the DAP with the Domain Ontology for providing a semantic description of its final output. The facilities of the \streamLoader prototype are finally presented for supporting the domain experts in the Semantic Virtualization of the sensors and for the construction of meaningful DAPs. Different graphical facilities have been developed for supporting domain experts in the development of complex DAPs. The system provides also facilities for their syntax-based translations in the Apache Spark Streaming language and execution in real time in a distributed cluster of machines.

description: The main limitation of most ultracold chemistry studies to date is the lack of an analysis of reaction products. Here, we discuss the first generally tractable, rigorous theoretical framework for computing statistical product-state distributions for ultracold reactions in external fields. We show that fields have two main effects on the products of a statistical reaction, by: (1) modifying the product energy levels thus potentially reshaping the product distributions; and/or (2) adding or removing product states by changing the reaction exothermicity. By analyzing these effects and the strength of the formalism to distinguish between different reaction mechanisms in benchmark reactions involving $^{40}$K and $^{87}$Rb species, we argue that statistical predictions will help understanding product formation and control, and lead developments to realize the full potential of ultracold chemistry.

ELECTION TIMING IN CONSENSUAL SYSTEMS. LINKING COALITION BARGAINING AND VALENCE THEORY OF PARTY COMPETITION
Creators: name: BONGIORNI, IVAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the determinants of cabinet termination in parliamentary systems. A preliminary study will raise a fundamental question: do voters punish incumbents for calling anticipated elections? The scarce evidence available reached contradictory conclusions. For the first time in the literature I will link cabinet termination with valence theories of party competition, and I will individuate the determinants of this popularity cost. My valece theory will provide a solution to the existing debate, showing that all the findings provided up to now represent specific cases of a more general phenomenon. The core of my thesis is represented by a coalition bargaining model. In each stage of the game, incumbents observe their electoral expectations and choose between negotiating on public policies, forming a new cabinet with the opposition, and calling elections. My game will show a series of improvements: first, it will introduce time and account for its effects on the outcome of the negotiation; second, it will introduce spatial considerations, such as the ideological location of the players and their coalition opportunities; third, it will encompass a theoretical account of the popularity cost of opportunistic election calling. Its fundamental assumptions will then be tested. Its asumptions will be tested using voting intention trends from four European democracies, covering more than fifty years of parliamentary politics. Results will show that variations in the exit option for the governing parties efficiently explain the likelihood of cabinet termination. On consensual democracies, this kind of test had never been conducted before. A corollary research concludes the dissertation: if voting intention data can be used to explain cabinet termination, then the same data can be used to account for ministerial tenure. The dismissal of ministers, or alterations in their prerogatives, can be described as a currency in the power game among coalition partners. Such an hypothesis had never been tested before. Using duration analysis I will show how imbalances in incumbent parties' popularity are associated with more frequent redistributions of power withing the goverment coalition. Even in this case, my empirical models will include time-varying covariates, producing an empirical contribution to the literature.

title: Durchgängige Sprachbildung als Instrument zur Verbesserung der Bildungschancen in einem mehrsprachigen Schulkontext
Creators: name: Thomic, Barbara
Year: 2021

description: An Schulen, die stark von sprachlicher Heterogenität geprägt sind, ist man sehr häufig mit eingeschränkter Bildungsgerechtigkeit konfrontiert. Neben dem sozialen Umfeld spielt der mehrsprachige Spracherwerbsprozess, der sich vom einsprachigen Erwerb deutlich unterscheidet, eine wesentliche Rolle. Diese Tatsache findet im Schulsystem zu wenig Berücksichtigung, vor allem auch im Hinblick auf bildungssprachliche Kompetenzen. Bildungssprache ist ein sprachliches Register, das klar definiert ist. Das Schulsystem sieht sich für den Aufbau dieser Kompetenzen nicht zuständig, wiewohl es Möglichkeiten gäbe, die Schülerinnen und Schüler in ihrem bildungssprachlichen Lernen zu unterstützen. Ein Ansatz, der diesem Anliegen nachgeht, ist die Durchgängige Sprachbildung. Das Konzept wurde von Ingrid Gogolin entwickelt und zielt auf eine Förderung der bildungssprachlichen Kompetenzen ab. Hierbei wird sowohl die vertikale Ebene, die Durchgängigkeit über das gesamte Schulsystem hinweg, als auch die horizontale Ebene, die Durchgängigkeit bezogen auf alle Unterrichtsfächer, berücksichtigt. Inwieweit die Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen der Primarstufe mit durchgängiger Sprachbildung bereits heute vertraut sind, wo und in welcher Form das Konzept im Unterricht Umsetzung findet und welchen Beitrag die Ausbildung der Lehrerinnen und Lehrer dazu leistet, wird in der gegenständlichen Arbeit beleuchtet. Im Fokus steht dabei stets das Potenzial durchgängiger Sprachbildung zur Verbesserung der Bildungschancen im mehrsprachigen Schulkontext.

description: We present the geometry of spacetimes that are tangentially approximated by de Sitter spaces whose cosmological constants vary over spacetime. Cartan geometry provides one with the tools to describe manifolds that reduce to a homogeneous Klein space at the infinitesimal level. We consider a Cartan geometry in which the underlying Klein space is at each point a de Sitter space, for which the combined set of pseudo-radii forms a nonconstant function on spacetime. We show that the torsion of such a geometry receives a contribution that is not present for a cosmological constant. The structure group of the obtained de Sitter-Cartan geometry is by construction the Lorentz group $SO(1,3)$. Invoking the theory of nonlinear realizations, we extend the class of symmetries to the enclosing de Sitter group $SO(1,4)$, and compute the corresponding spin connection, vierbein, curvature, and torsion.

I. The Well-Tempered Self: Structure and Autobiography in Victorian Sonnet Sequences, II. At Home With Generations: A Study of the Poetry and Prose of Wendell Berry, III. A Controlling Sympathy: The Style of Irony in Joyce's "The Dead"
Creators: name: Triggs, Jeffery A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1986

description: The first part explores the theory and practice of Victorian sonnet sequence writers in the light of Elizabethan practices. Major works considered include Shakespeare's Sonnets, Dante Rossetti's The House of Life, and Christina Rossetti's Manna Innominata. Because Romantic and Victorian sonnet writers had grown away from a sense of the way Elizabethans used conventions, they interpreted Elizabethan sonnets in terms of their own autobiographical notions of poetry. This is responsible for the many misreadings of Shakespeare which emphasize the "real" identity of characters like the "dark lady." Poets like the Rossettis reconceived the sonnet sequence, because of such misreadings, as a means of autobiographical expression. Dante Rossetti conceives the sonnet sequence as a grand autobiography structured around individual epiphanies much like Wordsworth's "spots of time." Christina Rossetti, equally compelled to autobiographical expression, structures her sequences as macrosonnets, each sonnet corresponding functionally to one line of a sonnet. This enables her to give a long, confessional poem the cohesion usually associated with individual lyrics. The second part traces the development of Wendell Berry's poetry in the light of his philosophical and critical writings. Beginning as a writer in the tradition of Understanding Poetry, Berry has come increasingly to emphasize history, a sense of place, and his experience as a farmer in his poetry. He believes the writer must not shrink from a role in the affairs of the world. All through his career Berry has written elegiac poems, and these best display his incorporation of such concerns into poetry of increasing individuality and subtlety. The third part is a close reading of "The Dead" with attention to the way Joyce uses a shifting narrative perspective to control our view of his characters. Though some critics have argued that Joyce employed a withering irony against his characters, careful consideration of "The Dead" as an individual work suggests that the irony is actually gentle and embracing, looking forward to the development of his mature work.

description: A Josephson qubit is designed via the application of a tensile strain to a topological insulator surface sandwiched between two s-wave superconductors. The strain applied leads to a shift in the Dirac point without changing the pre-existing conducting states, on the surface of a topological insulator. Strain applied can be tuned to form a $π$ junction in such a structure. Combining two such junctions in a ring architecture leads to the ground state of the ring being in doubly degenerate state- the "0" and "1" states of a qubit. A qubit designed this way is quite easily controlled via the tunable strain applied. We report on the conditions necessary to design such a qubit. Finally the operating time of a single qubit phase gate is derived.

Measurement of the W boson helicity in events with a single reconstructed top quark in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A measurement of the W boson helicity is presented, where the W boson originates from the decay of a top quark produced in pp collisions. The event selection, optimized for reconstructing a single top quark in the final state, requires exactly one isolated lepton (muon or electron) and exactly two jets, one of which is likely to originate from the hadronization of a bottom quark. The analysis is performed using data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2012. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The measured helicity fractions are F[L] = 0.298 +/- 0.028 (stat) +\- 0.032 (syst), F[0] = 0.720 +/- 0.039 (stat) +/- 0.037 (syst), and F[R] = -0.018 +/- 0.019 (stat) +/- 0.011 (syst). These results are used to set limits on the real part of the tWb anomalous couplings, gL and gR.

description: Genderqueeren Identitäten wird von Sprache zu Sprache verschieden viel Raum gegeben. Diese Unterschiede zeigen sich unter anderem bei der Übersetzung nicht binärer Charaktere vom Englischen ins Deutsche. Außer von sprachlichen Hindernissen, hängt die Qualität der Übersetzung auch von der Bereitschaft der daran beteiligten Personen ab, queere Inhalte in die Zielsprache zu übertragen – und vom Wissen der Übersetzer_innen zu ebensolchen Themen. In dieser Arbeit werden drei Übersetzungen und ihr Umgang mit nicht binären Charakteren einer Übersetzungskritik unterzogen und miteinander verglichen, um unterschiedliche Umgangsstrategien und etwaige Gemeinsamkeiten festzustellen. Dabei werden Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens, Textmodalität und extra- sowie paratextuelle Quellen einbezogen. Bei den Werken handelt sich um Stone Butch Blues. Träume in den erwachenden Morgen von Leslie Feinberg/Claudia Brusdeylins, Drag King Träume von Leslie Feinberg/Ekpenyong Ani und Steven Universe von Rebecca Sugar (Übersetzer_in unbekannt). Die Bewertung erfolgt in Anlehnung an Marc Démont, dabei werden die verwendeten Strategien in Misrecognizing (Mißachtung), Minoritizing (Einschränkung) und Queering (Queeren) des genderqueeren Potentials aufgeteilt. Außerdem wird das Kritikmodell um die Strategie Blurring (Verwischen) erweitert. Die Analyse zeigt Unterschiede, aber auch einige unerwartete Parallelen, zwischen den Übersetzungen auf. Alle drei Werke vermischen einige oder alle genannten Übersetzungsstrategien, die Ergebnisse gehen jedoch weit auseinander.
description: The amount of attention given to genderqueer identities varies from language to language. Said differences become evident in the translation of non-binary characters from English to German. Apart from linguistic obstacles, the translation quality also depends on the willingness of everyone involved, to introduce queer content into the target language - and on the translators' knowledge of such topics. In this paper, three translations and their treatment of non-binary characters are subjected to a translation critique and compared with each other, in order to determine different strategies and potential similarities . To this end, publication dates, textual modality, and extra- and paratextual sources are also taken into consideration. The texts in question are Stone Butch Blues. Träume in den erwachenden Morgen by Leslie Feinberg/Claudia Brusdeylins, Drag King Träume by Leslie Feinberg/Ekpenyong Ani, and Steven Universe by Rebecca Sugar (translator unknown). The evaluation uses Marc Démonts proposal to divide translation strategies into “Misrecognizing”, “Minoritizing”, and “Queering” of the genderqueer potential. Furthermore, another strategy named Blurring is added to the model. The analysis reveals differences, but also some unexpected parallels, between the translations. All three texts use some or all of the mentioned translation strategies, but the overall results diverge widely.

description: This special issue is, for many reasons, an extra special issue. Not only it is the first ever publicationof the International Journal on Complementary Currencies Research (IJCCR) in a language otherthan English. It also emerged through collaboration across many cultures, countries and languages -Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan and English -, and is filled with great research done in Spain, Centraland South America. For those reasons we are very proud of this winter issue, which started takingshape as an invitation and challenge to the Scientific Committee of the IV International Conferenceon Complementary and Social Currencies headed by Dr. August Corrons from our hosts, theUniversidad Oberta de Cataluña (UOC), given the many and great contributions of Spanish-speaking-and-writing authors to the conference and to the scientific field. With this effort, we aimto honour those contributions and authors, and share some of the research presented anddiscussed in Barcelona in May 2017. Our hope is also to facilitate the spread of knowledge to awider audience of activists, researchers, entrepreneurs and practitioners across the Spanishspeaking world. As the second biggest native language in the worldi, with an estimated 512.9million users, having this Special Issue in Spanish is also a symbolic departure from the hegemonyof a single use language in the IJCCR, and an entrance into the rich and vibrant world of multiple,complementary languages.

description: While the muon $g-2$ anomaly can be successfully explained by some new physics models, most of them are severely constrained by the $μ\to e γ$ bound. This tension is more transparent from the effective field theory perspective, in which the two phenomena are encoded in two very similar operators. However, with the ${\cal O}(1)$ Wilson coefficients, the current upper bound on $μ\to e γ$ indicates a new-physics cutoff scale five orders smaller than that needed to eliminate the $(g-2)_μ$ anomaly. By summarizing all the formulae from the one-loop contributions to the muon $g-2$ with the internal-particle spin not larger than 1, we point out two general methods to reconcile the conflict between the muon $g-2$ and $μ\to e γ$: the GIM mechanism and the non-universal couplings. For the latter method, we use a simple scalar leptoquark model as an illustration.

description: Various objective priors have been defined for the common correlation coefficient concerning several bivariate normal populations. In this paper, the proposed approach relies on the asymptotic matching of coverage probabilities corresponding to Bayesian credible intervals considering the corresponding frequentist ones. In the present paper, we focus on several matching criteria including quantile matching, distribution function matching, highest posterior density matching, and matching via inversion of test statistics. In addition, we consider reference priors for different groups of ordering. The proposed methods are investigated and compared between each other in terms of a frequentist coverage probability and then, they are illustrated through a simulation study and two real data examples.

description: The quality control of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is paramount in advancing electronic device technology. While numerous machine learning methodologies have been utilized to augment defect detection efficiency and accuracy, previous studies have predominantly focused on optimizing individual models for specific defect types, often overlooking the potential synergies between different approaches. This paper introduces a comprehensive inspection framework leveraging an ensemble learning strategy to address this gap. Initially, we utilize four distinct PCB defect detection models utilizing state-of-the-art methods: EfficientDet, MobileNet SSDv2, Faster RCNN, and YOLOv5. Each method is capable of identifying PCB defects independently. Subsequently, we integrate these models into an ensemble learning framework to enhance detection performance. A comparative analysis reveals that our ensemble learning framework significantly outperforms individual methods, achieving a 95% accuracy in detecting diverse PCB defects. These findings underscore the efficacy of our proposed ensemble learning framework in enhancing PCB quality control processes.

description: Maintenance of bone integrity is mediated by the balanced actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Because macroautophagy/autophagy regulates osteoblast mineralization, osteoclast differentiation, and their secretion from osteoclast cells, autophagy deficiency in osteoblasts or osteoclasts can disrupt this balance. However, it remains unclear whether upregulation of autophagy becomes beneficial for suppression of bone-associated diseases. In this study, we found that genetic upregulation of autophagy in osteoblasts facilitated bone formation. We generated mice in which autophagy was specifically upregulated in osteoblasts by deleting the gene encoding RUBCN/Rubicon, a negative regulator of autophagy. The rubcnflox/flox;Sp7/Osterix-Cre mice showed progressive skeletal abnormalities in femur bones. Consistent with this, RUBCN deficiency in osteoblasts resulted in elevated differentiation and mineralization, as well as an increase in the elevated expression of key transcription factors involved in osteoblast function such as Runx2 and Bglap/Osteocalcin. Furthermore, RUBCN deficiency in osteoblasts accelerated autophagic degradation of NOTCH intracellular domain (NICD) and downregulated the NOTCH signaling pathway, which negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation. Notably, osteoblast-specific deletion of RUBCN alleviated the phenotype in a mouse model of osteoporosis. We conclude that RUBCN is a key regulator of bone homeostasis. On the basis of these findings, we propose that medications targeting RUBCN or autophagic degradation of NICD could be used to treat age-related osteoporosis and bone fracture.

description: Current methods for measuring magnetic flux are based on performing many measurements over a large ensemble of electrons. We propose a novel method based on wavefunction "revival" for measuring the flux modulo hc/2e using only a single electron. A preliminary analysis of the feasibility of the experiment is provided.

description: Der Fußballsport gilt als die beliebteste Sportart der Welt, sodass auch immer mehr Frauen den Frauenfußball für sich entdecken. Der Entwicklungsdiskurs sieht in dem „Sport and Development“-Ansatz viele Vorteile, die der Fußballsport für das Individuum und die Gesellschaft mit sich bringen kann. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt das Potential des Fußballsports für die internationale Entwicklung auf und stellt besonders das Empowerment von Frauen durch die Teilnahme an dem Fußballsport in den Fokus. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es darzulegen, inwiefern Frauen durch den Frauenfußball empowert werden. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage behandelt: „Wie kann der Frauenfußball zum Empowerment von Frauen beitragen?“ Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten wurden die Aussagen der Expert*innen während der FIFA Women’s Football Convention (2019) herangezogen und mithilfe der Empowerment-Dimensionen von Malhotra et al. (2002) und der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2015) analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Frauen in den ökonomischen, soziokulturellen, familiären bzw. zwischenmenschlichen, rechtlichen, politischen und psychologischen Dimensionen durch den Frauenfußball auf unterschiedlichste Art und Weise empowert werden.
description: Football is considered as the most popular sport in the world and more and more women discover women's football for themselves. The development discourse observes in the "sport for development" approach many benefits that football can bring to the individual and society. This thesis shows the potential of football for development studies and focuses especially on the empowerment of women through participation in football. The aim of this thesis is to present to what extent women are empowered through women's football. The following research question is addressed, "How can women's football contribute to women's empowerment?" To answer the research question, the statements of the experts during the FIFA Women's Football Convention (2019) were utilized and analyzed using the empowerment dimensions of Malhotra et al. (2002) and qualitative content analysis according to Mayring (2015). The results show that women are empowered in different ways by women's football in the economic, socio-cultural, familial or interpersonal, legal, political and psychological dimensions.

description: HI-rich galaxies typically have high star-formation rates (SFR), but there exist interesting HI-rich and low star-forming (low-SF) galaxies. Previous work on a sample of these galaxies identified from HI-MaNGA (HI follow-up to the MaNGA survey) using an infrared indicator of specific-SFR (sSFR; namely W2-W3~<2) could find no single physical process to explain their unusual behaviour. The method by which galaxies are identified as low sSFR may be important in this conclusion. In this Research Note, we explore how an HI-rich, low sSFR sample of HI-MaNGA galaxies differs using H alpha, single stellar population, and ultraviolet estimators of SFR. We find that samples are statistically similar to each other so long as W2-W3~<2 is interpreted as corresponding to sSFR<10^{-11.15} yr^{-1}.
title: Developing methods for field experiments using commercially reared bumblebee colonies – initial colony strength and experimental duration as influential factors

description: Semi-field and field experiments with commercially used bumblebees (e.g. Bombus terrestris) gain more and more importance for both ecological studies and trials on potential side effects of plant protection products. However, standardized, replicable experimental methods are lacking so far and need further development. For example, initial strength of bumblebee colonies may vary across experiments but may be a key factor in successful colony development under field conditions. Trial duration and termination may impact results on total reproductive output (e.g. number of newly produced queens). In this study commercially reared bumblebee colonies of different initial strengths (number of worker bees) were placed along the field margin of each of six field sites. Each site was nested within one of two seasons and planted with one of two arable crops (Brassica napus and Phacelia tanacetifolia). Each colony was spaced approx. 50 m apart from the next colony, and its development was monitored once a week. While the development of half of the colonies was terminated at the first sighting of newly emerging queens within the nesting area, the other half of the colonies was left to develop further until the end of their natural colony cycle. Newly emerging queens were kept within the colonies using queen excluders. Colonies of different initial strengths showed very similar developmental patterns with medium and large colonies peaking slightly earlier than small colonies. Results may help to develop optimal parameters for standardized field tests.

description: The connectivity index, defined as the number of decoupled components of a separable quantum system, can change under deformations of the Hamiltonian or during the dynamical change of the system under renormalization group flow. Such changes signal a rearrangement of correlations of different degrees of freedom across spacetime and field theory space. In this paper we quantify such processes by studying the behavior of entanglement entropy in a specific example: the RG flow in the Coulomb branch of large-N superconformal field theories. We find evidence that the transition from the non-separable phase of the Higgsed gauge theory in the UV to the separable phase of deformed decoupled CFTs in the IR exhibits sharp features in the middle of the RG flow in the large-N limit. The entanglement entropy on a sphere with radius $\ell$ exhibits the formation of a separatrix on the co-dimension-two Ryu-Takayanagi surface in multi-centered brane geometries above a critical value of $\ell$. We discuss how other measures of entanglement and separability based on the relative quantum entropy and quantum mutual information might detect such transitions between non-separable and separable phases and how they would help describe some of the key properties of the IR physics of such flows.

title: Separation-Individuation, Identitätsentwicklung und Rumination im Emerging Adulthood
Creators: name: Kratzer, Lina Marie

description: Sowohl der Individuationsprozess als auch die Identitätsentwicklung spielen eine bedeutsame Rolle beim Übergang ins Erwachsenenalter. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurde der Separation-Individuation Prozess, die Identitätsentwicklung sowie die Neigung zu Rumination bei Emerging Adults untersucht. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte anhand eines Online-Fragebogens im Querschnittsdesign. Zur Erhebung des Separation-Individuation Prozesses wurde die Kurzversion des Individuation Test for Emerging Adults (Komidar et al., 2018) eingesetzt. Die Identitätsentwicklung wurde mittels der Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (Luyckx, Schwartz, Berzonsky et al., 2008) untersucht. Zur Erfassung der Rumination wurde der Perserverative Thinking Questionnaire (Ehring et al., 2011) eingesetzt. Die Stichprobe umfasst 278 Emerging Adults (18-29 Jahre). Es wurden vier verschiedene Individuationstypen, die sich qualitativ hinsichtlich der Beziehung zu den primären Bezugspersonen unterscheiden, identifiziert. Die Vier Cluster werden inhaltlich differenziert als den Abhängigen, den Ängstlichen, den Individuiert-Verbundenen sowie den Individuiert-Unabhängigen Typ. Im Einklang mit bisherigen Studien (Kavčič & Zupančič, 2018) zeigt sich in der vorliegenden Untersuchung, dass die Proband*innen, die den Individuierten Typen zugeordnet werden, durchschnittlich älter sind, als die Teilnehmer*innen, die dem Abhängigen oder Ängstlichen Typ zugeordnet werden. Die Annahme, dass sich eine gelungene Individuation durch die Balance zwischen Nähe und Unabhängigkeit hinsichtlich der Beziehung zur primären Bezugsperson auszeichnet, wird in dieser Studie bestätigt (Smollar & Youniss, 1989; Grotevant & Cooper, 1986). Der Individuiert-Verbundene Typ verkörpert in der vorliegenden Stichprobe diese Merkmalskombinationen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie deuten daraufhin, dass eine individuierte Beziehung zu den Eltern eine wichtige Ressource im Hinblick auf die Identifikation mit Verpflichtungen, aber auch ein protektiver Faktor hinsichtlich einer maladaptiven Explorationsweise sowie der Neigung zu Rumination darstellt. Limitationen und Implikationen der Studie werden diskutiert.
