description: In den letzten Jahren gab es einen deutlichen Rückgang der Niederschläge in Deutschland. Niedrigwasser, Trockenheit und Dürre können weitreichende negative Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft haben. Um den Informationsbedarf zum Thema Niedrigwasser, Trockenheit und Dürre innerhalb der Bevölkerung zu ermitteln, wurde eine Online- Befragung mit 450 Teilnehmenden durchgeführt. Aus den Ergebnissen werden Empfehlungen abgeleitet, um passende Informationsangebote zur Sensibilisierung und Bewusstseinsbildung der Bevölkerung zum Thema Niedrigwasser, Trockenheit und Dürre zu entwickeln.
The Business Case For Transparency

description: We present a two-part study, the purpose of which is to highlight that new disclosure initiatives such as oil and mineral tax payment disclosure as mandated under the Transparency Amendment and as about to be mandated by the European Union, have a place in the investment world and an impact on investment decisions. The study identifies the listed companies that integrate the
principle of disclosure of tax payments on a country-by-country basis into their reporting activity and measures their financial performance as well as their performance with respect to human and environmental protection rights of the communities where they interact. This second type of performance is important from the investors’ point of view since it is intimately related to political
risk and the ‘social license to operate’.

description: We show that a dimer made of two gold nanospheres exhibits a remarkable efficiency for second-harmonic generation under femtosecond optical excitation. The detectable nonlinear emission for the given particle size and excitation wavelength arises when the two nanoparticles are as close as possible to contact, as in situ controlled and measured using the tip of an atomic force microscope. The excitation wavelength dependence of the second-harmonic signal supports a coupled plasmon resonance origin with radiation from the dimer gap. This nanometer-size light source might be used for high-resolution near-field optical microscopy.

description: The conduct of warfare in 1914-1918 included extensive population resettlement in all theatres of war in Europe, both as a result of pre-emptive decisions by civilians to flee in order to evade the conflict or to avoid the consequences of occupation, and as the outcome of tactics pursued by military leaders and their political masters, who on grounds of national security targeted people on occupied territory as well as home-grown minorities. These wartime practices included widespread recourse to forced labour drafts. Plans were also prepared for re-ordering population and territory in the post-war world; here too population resettlement became the order of the day.

Mirtazapine exposure during pregnancy: literature review and implications

Year: 2013
Subjects: Clinical psychology
Pharmacology

description: Depression is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders in America, and it's prevalent in 7-9% of pregnancies, which means its effects impact the mother, fetus and whole family. Pregnancy is a stressful time, physically and mentally. Coupled with maternal depression, it can increase the risk of impaired behavioral, cognitive and birth outcomes for the fetus. Therefore, some form of treatment is necessary. However more severe cases of depression might require an antidepressant. Mirtazapine is a newer antidepressant that has properties particularly helpful for relieving nausea and vomiting, which seem particularly appropriate for women experiencing morning sickness. However the risks and benefits of using mirtazapine and other antidepressants during pregnancy are unclear. Conflicting and even contradictory evidence provides an unclear path for pregnant mothers and clinicians. The current literature review hoped to summarize what has been found on exposure to mirtazap! ine in pregnancy and compare it to findings on other commonly used medications like SSRIs and TCAs.

description: Der Wärmesektor hat in Deutschland einen signifikanten Anteil an den Treibhaus- gasemissionen. Bis spätestens 2045 sollen Heizwärme und Warmwasser ausschließlich aus erneu- erbaren Energien und aus unvermeidbarer Abwärme erzeugt werden. Den Kommunen und ihren Stadtwerken kommt bei der Umsetzung und Gestaltung der Wärmewende eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Hierfür benötigen sie jedoch zentrale Entscheidungsunterstützungssysteme. Daher haben die Stadtwerke München im Rahmen ihrer Digitalisierungsstrategie mit dem Modell München ein ge- bäudescharfes Geoinformationssystem entwickelt, um die Wärmewende spartenübergreifend zu pla- nen und umzusetzen. Zudem wurde ein Multiagentensystem für die Simulation von Zukunftsszena- rien integriert. Inzwischen wird das Modell München nicht nur bei den Stadtwerken München für zahlreiche Anwendungsfälle eingesetzt, sondern auch von der Landeshauptstadt München für die kommunale Wärmeplanung.

description: We determine the complexity of several constraint satisfaction problems using the quantum adiabatic algorithm in its simplest implementation. We do so by studying the size dependence of the gap to the first excited state of "typical" instances. We find that at large sizes N, the complexity increases exponentially for all models that we study. We also compare our results against the complexity of the analogous classical algorithm WalkSAT and show that the harder the problem is for the classical algorithm the harder it is also for the quantum adiabatic algorithm.

description: This article surveys the various movements toward social, national, and political revolution that emerged during and in the wake of World War I. The Russian revolutions of 1917 serve as the first case study, followed by the mutinies in France, and the collapse of monarchies in Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary, and Germany. Events in Italy and Greece show the danger of revolution even among the victors. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of modern Turkey, alongside French and British mandates, helped create the basis for the contemporary conflicts in the Middle East. The concluding remarks attempt to show the factors favoring stability over revolution by comparing the differences between specific cases.

Terrorism

description: Understanding attitudes, concerns and reactions of individuals and families is critical to emergency planning efforts on all levels. In order to have effective implementation of a disaster plan, people need to be confident in (a) the reliability of information from official sources, (b) the capacity of government to perform effectively in a crisis and (c) the capability of response systems, particularly the health systems and first responders. Absence of confidence in response systems or leadership may undermine the best of crisis plans, leading to unnecessary panic and potential excess loss of life. In August 2003, The National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, in collaboration with The Children's Health Fund, commissioned the Marist Institute for Public Opinion to conduct a survey of adults nearly two years after the multiple terrorist attacks on New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. The survey included both a national and a New York City representative sample of households contacted by telephone. Questions covered a wide range of issues including people's concern about potential new additional acts of terrorism in the U.S., the government's ability to protect citizens, and the health system's capacity to respond. Throughout, specific questions were asked of a subset of parents of children from four to eighteen years of age. To the extent possible, specific questions were replicated from four previous surveys commissioned by The Children's Health Fund since September 11, 2001 to identify trends in public attitudes and perceptions.
Biogeochemistry of Pb in the Northeastern subarctic Pacific Ocean and the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean
Creators: name: Charters, Jeffrey William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Using a method which simultaneously concentrates and isolates Pb from seawater, a total of 208 samples collected using trace-metal clean techniques were determined for dissolved Pb concentration in the subarctic Northeast Pacific and the Canada Basin of the southwestern Arctic Ocean. The analytical method found good agreement between determined values and consensus values of several seawater standards. Concentration in seawater was generally dictated by proximity to pollution sources which appeared to provide Pb via aeolian deposition and by proximity to primary productivity or freshly precipitated mineral phases which scavenged Pb to lower levels than expected based on previous research. Over the entire dataset, concentration ranged from 1.8 pmol/kg to 81.3 pmol/kg, with the highest values occurring just below the permanent mixed layer in the northeast Pacific and was of unknown origin. The lowest level was found in the Pacific water mass of the southern Beaufort Sea, which may be the result of interactions with sediment during transit through the Bering and Chukchi Seas. When samples that were expected to be contaminated are discounted, Pb levels were generally lowest in the Arctic, below 30 pmol/kg. Samples taken from three eddies along the British Columbian and southern Alaskan coasts found low [Pb] within the eddy relative to reference stations, though in two of the eddies a phytoplankton bloom had not occurred, suggesting that either the source water was low in Pb or scavenging had occurred by sorption onto precipitated mineral phases during estuarine processes. A low- resolution time series between 1992 and 2010 at Ocean Station Papa (OSP; 50°N, 145°W) found that Pb concentration at this location has remained quite steady over time, in contrast with the North Atlantic Ocean which showed a drastic decrease in concentration over the same time period. The difference may be attributed to formation of the water mass in the Sea of Okhotsk during the winter when atmospheric conditions would transport most Asian pollution away from the region where the water mass subducts and advects towards OSP, along with a different history of Pb pollution upwind of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

It addresses their mobilization including their engagement with the war effort as well as their resistance to it. Women’s work during the war took a variety of forms, including essential waged labor and extensive volunteer work in and outside of their homes. The essay offers a brief comparative overview of women’s war work and mobilization. It argues that the precise impact of the war on women’s political and social experiences and opportunities remains complex and varied on a state and on an individual level.

description: The National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) 2005 survey of the  American public’s attitudes and views on terrorism, preparedness, and associated issues is the latest in a series of national surveys administered annually beginning in the months after September 11, 2001. The survey was completed in July 2005, just after the London Underground bombings and just before Hurricane Katrina. NCDP commissioned national and New York City public opinion polls in the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001 to gauge the American public’s views and attitudes on a wide range of topics germane to disaster preparedness and emergency events. Since the first polls which were completed 3 and 6-months after September 11, 2001, NCDP has annually commissioned a survey which goes to the field in July-August, just before the anniversary of September 11. The 2005 survey was the fourth annual. Each survey includes trended questions as well as “one-off” questions appropriate to the given time period. Trended questions include confidence in government; willingness and ability to evacuate; personal and family preparedness plans; personal sacrifice; community preparedness; perceptions and engagement of all-hazard preparedness; and other questions thematic with the afore listed.. All questions are cross-tabulated with a variety of demographics including race, age, gender, income, region, size of community, political affiliation, and education. Further, select questions establishing a division of respondent (e.g. those having personal and family preparedness plans versus those who do not) are cross-tabulated with other selected questions to observe correlations. (e.g. awareness of community preparedness plans). The surveys are developed by NCDP investigators in conjunction with Marist, who administers the survey, codes the data, and produces the frequency tables. Full data and trend tables are available on request.

description: This article surveys the major fiction, drama, and poetry connected with World War I produced by American writers. It outlines the anti-war writing of prominent authors including Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, e.e. cummings, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos, as well as the major American soldier-writers. It also explores work that is relatively optimistic and hopeful about American participation in the conflict. Edith Wharton, Ella Glasgow, and Willa Cather all had more positive visions that focused on the massive transformations on the home front and civic life that the War had accelerated. Finally, the article considers the literary production of socialist authors, African Americans, and veterans’ organizations, all of which struggled to shape the legacy of the conflict to their own particular agendas.

Die untersuchte Stichprobe wurde randomisiert zwei Untersuchungsgruppen (authentische vs. aggravierte Beschwerdendarlegung) zugeteilt. Ein Intelligenzassessment der Probandinnen erfolgte anhand von Untertests des Leistungsprüfsystems (LPS) sowie mithilfe einer Sozialformel. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung bieten Hinweise auf Zusammenhänge zwischen Intelligenz der Probandinnen und der Messbarkeit negativer Antwortverzerrung, wobei sich in der Teilgruppe von durch den SIRS-2 in ihrer Beschwerdenvalidität nicht eindeutig Begutachteten ein signifikanter Gruppenunterschied hinsichtlich der geschätzten Intelligenz zeigte. Übertreibende hatten deskriptiv einen höher geschätzten IQ. Zukünftige Forschung sollte diese Interaktionen weiterführend untersuchen.
description: This study is aimed to evaluate a potential correlation between the intelligence of subjects and how reliably malingering and deception can be detected using the German version of the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms 2 (SIRS-2). The subjects were randomized into two groups (authentic vs. malingered symptom-presentation). The assessment of intelligence was performed using the “Leistungsprüfsystem” (LPS) and a socio-demographic equation. The results of this trial indicate an interrelation between intelligence of the subjects and the measurability of feigning. The sub-group of inconclusively examined subjects showed a significant difference between the groups regarding the estimated intelligence. Malingering subjects had a higher estimated IQ. Future research should continue to examine this interaction.

It examines first the efforts to justify the war to the public in the neutral countries, and subsequently, to the German public as well. For this purpose the development of the ideas of 1914 receives special attention here. The article then considers political unions between individual intellectuals, which became important as a consequence of the strict censure of the press around the debate about German war aims and regarding problems with political reforms. Finally some cultural aspects of the war will be discussed.

description: Generalizing the group structure of the Euclidean space, we construct a Riemannian metric on the deformed set \ $\mathbb{R}^n_q$ \ induced by the Tsallis entropy composition property. We show that the Tsallis entropy is a "hyperbolic analogue" of the "Euclidean" Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon entropy and find a geometric interpretation for the nonextensive parameter $q$. We provide a geometric explanation of the uniqueness of the Tsallis entropy as reflected through its composition property, which is provided by the Abe and the Santos axioms. For two, or more, interacting systems described by the Tsallis entropy, having different values of $q$, we argue why a suitable extension of this construction is provided by the Cartan/Alexandrov/Toponogov metric spaces with a uniform negative curvature upper bound.

description: Belgium had suffered considerable economic losses during the war, which was fought on part of its territory. Aside from the direct damages as a result of warfare, industry nearly came to a standstill under the German occupation, causing mass unemployment, leaving Belgium to pay for the occupation costs. German marks were introduced as means of payment, which led to monetary expansion. It was up to the post-war governments to handle these complications. Financial problems raised most issues, since reconstruction was begun in 1918 on the supposition that Germany would pay for the war damages, which proved not to be the case. The financial burden that had led to monetary instability was only solved as late as 1926.

It highlights a plan from 1920 to import a huge quantity of railway equipment to show that the Bolshevik regime regarded War Communism as a viable system for delivering industrial modernisation, and that the NEP marked an enforced retreat from such optimistic planning. The article stresses the need for more research to clarify the nature of economic activity in non-Bolshevik areas during the civil war.

description: Vorangegangene Studien zeigen eine erhöhte Inzidenz koloretaler Karzinome und eine gestörte NK-Zell-Funktionalität bei Adipositas. Der Einfluss von Adipositas auf NK-Zellen und die Entstehung kolorektaler Karzinome wurde im Tierexperiment untersucht. Die Karzinogenese wurde mittels Injektionen von Azoxymethan (AOM) bei Diät-induziert adipösen und normalgewichtigen Ratten induziert. Adipöse AOMbehandelte Tiere wiesen eine erhöhte Anzahl, Größe und Gewicht sowie Aggressivität kolorektaler Neoplasien auf. Im Blut adipöser Ratten wurden erhöhte proinflammatorische und verminderte antiinflammatorische Zytokinkonzentrationen gemessen. Immunhistochemische und molekularbiologische Untersuchungen zeigten im Milzgewebe adipöser Tiere eine verminderte NK-Zell-Anzahl sowie eine erhöhte mRNA-Expression aktivierender NK-Zell-Rezeptoren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Adipositas die Anzahl und Funktionalität von NK-Zellen beeinflusst und somit vermutlich die Entstehung kolorektaler Karzinome fördert.
description: Obesity has been associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer and altered natural killer (NK) cell functions. In this animal study, we investigated the influence of obesity on the NK cell functionality and the development of colorectal carcinomas. Colon cancer growth was induced by injection of azoxymethane (AOM) in dietinduced obese and normal-weight rats. Compared to the normal-weight toumor group, obese AOM-treated animals had an increased number, size and weight, as well as aggressiveness of colorectal neoplasia. Obese rats exhibited higher plasma concentrations of proinflammatory and a lower level of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Immunohistochemical and molecular analyses of splenic tissue showed decreased numbers of NK cells but higher expression levels of activating NK cell receptors in obese animals. The results demonstrated that obesity influences the number and functional parameters of NK cells and thus, probably promotes the development of colorectal carcinomas.

description: We study radiative corrections to the electroweak parameters in the Higgs model with the Y=1 triplet field, which is introduced in the scenario of generating neutrino masses based on the so-called type II seesaw mechanism. In this model, the rho parameter deviates from unity at the tree level. Consequently, the electroweak sector of the model is described by the four input parameters such as $α_{\text{em}}$, $G_F$, $m_Z$ and $\sin^2θ_W$. We calculate the one loop contribution to the W boson mass as well as to the rho parameter in order to clarify the possible mass spectrum of the extra Higgs bosons under the constraint from the electroweak precision data. We find that the hierarchical mass spectrum among $H^{\pm\pm}$, $H^{\pm}$ and $A$ (or $H$) is favored by the precision data especially for the case of $m_A$ $(\simeq m_H)>m_{H^+}>m_{H^{++}}$, where $H^{\pm\pm}$, $H^{\pm}$, $A$ and $H$ are the doubly-charged, singly-charged, CP-odd and CP-even Higgs bosons mainly originated from the triplet field. We also discuss phenomenological consequences of such a mass spectrum with relatively large mass splitting. The decay rate of the Higgs boson decay into two photons is evaluated under the constraint from the electroweak precision data, regarding the recent Higgs boson searches at the CERN LHC.

description: Identifying the three processes of “normalization”, liberalization, and militarization as key features of postwar Germany, this essay attempts to explain the dissonance between a largely successful military and economic demobilization, and an eventually failing cultural demobilization. While there was universal agreement that returning soldiers should get their former jobs back, ascribing meaning to the war proved highly divisive. Veterans supporting the new Weimar Republic, led by the “''Reichsbanner''”, advocated a pacifist interpretation, whereas their rightist enemies, led by the “''Stahlhelm''”, proposed a heroic and essentially revanchist reading, which eventually prevailed in the profound crisis at the end of the 1920s.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die Entwicklung eines webbasierten Rechners dar, der zur Entscheidungsunterstützung und Akzeptanzsteigerung für Photovoltaik (PV) und Speichersystemen im gewerblichen Umfeld beitragen soll. Grund hierfür ist das hohe Dachflächenpotenzial bei gewerblichen genutzten Gebäuden sowie der Bedarf an einem schnellen Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien, um die Klimaschutzziele einzuhalten. Die wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Kriterien sind die wichtigsten Gründe für die Investition in eine PV-Anlage. Für eine detaillierte Prognose der Rentabilität ist das verwendete Betreibermodell des Unternehmens relevant. Die Auswahl eines passenden Models ist wiederum abhängig von solarer Eigenversorgung. Aufgrund von Unterschieden zwischen den Lastprofilen verschiedener Gewerbetypen bietet der entwickelte PV- Rechner die Option, ein spezielles Lastprofil für die Berechnungen hochzuladen. Anhand dieser Prognose wirtschaftlicher und ökologischer Faktoren soll die Anwendung zur betrieblichen Entscheidungsunterstützung beitragen. Ein schnell erhältlicher Überblick der Ergebnisse kann zusätzlich die Akzeptanzsteigerung für PV ermöglichen. Ergänzende Simulationsrechnungen und weitere Ergebniskennzahlen können zukünftig zur optimierten Prognose relevanter Faktoren einer PV-Anlage beisteuern.

description: Many privacy and data protection laws, such as Article 8 GDPR and the CCPA, establish different requirements when establishing a legal basis for collecting personal data about children. Our study asks whether and how children’s websites collect consent. We conduct an automated analysis of 2, 066 educational and gaming websites, and a manual analysis of 13 large sites. We measure the prevalence of deceptive patterns identified in prior work, plus a new design consideration, whether the dialog is addressed to the child user’s parent or guardian. A small minority of websites address dialogs for children, which suggest the majority of children’s websites in our sample may not comply with Article 8 GDPR.
Active carbon transport and feeding ecology of pelagic decapods in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

description: Pelagic decapods were collected during two cruises in the central North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG): in 2011 depth stratified samples with a MOCNESS-10 (10 m² Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System) were carried out at two stations to the west and north of the Hawaiian island of Oahu (21°20.6'N, 158°16.4'W and 22°45'N, 158°00'W), and in 2004 samples were collected using three different micronekton sampling gears in the shallow backscattering layer (SSL) and deep backscattering layer (DSL) off the southwest coast of Hawaii. A total of 40 decapod taxa were identified. Amongst the 22 species with sufficient representation, three migration classes were identified: full migrators (6 species); partial migrators (13 species); and non-migrators (3 species). Using measured local temperature profiles along with published models of respiration, excretion and mortality, the individual and total active downward carbon flux was calculated. From the 2004 samples, diets of nine pelagic decapod species were established through stomach content analysis. It was found that decapod diet varied not only with size, but also with taxonomy. All decapods fed more in the SSL at night than in the DSL during the day or night. However, decapods did not feed entirely at night in the SSL, a common assumption made in previous estimates of active flux for a wide variety of organisms. Instead, feeding in the DSL was equal to 9.67 – 44.69% of feeding in the SSL by weight. Using these feeding estimates, and assuming a micronekton sampling efficiency of 33.33% for the MOCNESS-10, the active flux due to decapod migrations was calculated to be 382.7 - 625.0 µgC/m²/day. Compared to the local passive flux, this active flux was equal to 4.8 - 7.8% of passive flux at the mean night time residence depth (710.7 m), 2.1 - 3.4% of passive flux at the mean daytime residence depth (261.8 m), and 1.5 - 2.4% of passive flux at the base of the euphotic zone (173 m).

description: We deform Heisenberg algebra and corresponding coalgebra by twist. We present undeformed and deformed tensor identities. Coalgebras for the generalized Poincaré algebras have been constructed. The exact universal $R$-matrix for the deformed Heisenberg (co)algebra is found. We show, up to the third order in the deformation parameter, that in the case of $κ$-Poincaré Hopf algebra this $R$-matrix can be expressed in terms of Poincaré generators only. This implies that the states of any number of identical particles can be defined in a $κ$-covariant way.

description: Informledge System (ILS) is a knowledge network with autonomous nodes and intelligent links that integrate and structure the pieces of knowledge. In this paper, we aim to put forward the link dynamics involved in intelligent processing of information in ILS. There has been advancement in knowledge management field which involve managing information in databases from a single domain. ILS works with information from multiple domains stored in distributed way in the autonomous nodes termed as Knowledge Network Node (KNN). Along with the concept under consideration, KNNs store the processed information linking concepts and processors leading to the appropriate processing of information.

Spatial and temporal variation in kelp-derived detritus and its dietary importance to consumers along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada

description: Stable isotope analysis was used to determine spatial and temporal patterns of suspended kelp-derived detritus (KDD) and its contribution to consumers along a gradient of kelp abundance driven by recovering sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations along the west coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI). During the summer and winter, ocean surface size-fractionated particulate organic matter (POM), dominant kelp species (order Laminariales), surface plankton and benthic organisms were sampled along offshore transects (0 – 30 km), and analyzed for carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes. Phytoplankton isotope fractionation characteristics were utilized along with principal component analysis to determine seasonally and size fraction specific δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values. Blooming size fractions of phytoplankton were enriched in ¹³C by 2.5 to 5.4 ‰ and enriched by 0.3 to 3.1 ‰ in ¹⁵N. There were significant within and among region, and between season differences in kelp isotopic values. For example, during the summer, the otter-present Macrocystis pyrifera mean δ¹³C value (-13.17 ± 1.12 ‰) was more enriched than Nereocystis luetkeana (-16.89 ± 1.88 ‰; p < 0.001). These results were used in a Bayesian isotope mixing model (MixSIR) to estimate KDD contributions. The contribution to POM showed the greatest variability with distance from the kelp forest within the otter-absent region. However, in general, there was little difference among regions with respect to KDD contribution. Seasonally, KDD contribution to POM was greater during the summer. KDD contribution to total POM and 20 – 63 µm POM was similar and generally greater than 0.7 – 20 µm POM. Modeled estimates of KDD contribution to benthic invertebrates and fish were high (> 40 %) and similar with size, among regions and between seasons, with the exception of red turban snails (Astraea gibberosa) in the otter-present region where KDD contribution was 41.2 to 96.6 % lower than the otter-absent region. These results indicate that kelp abundance is not the only driver of KDD dispersal spatially and temporally. Factors such as local oceanography, kelp forest community composition, large variation in kelp isotope values, and similarity between kelp and phytoplankton isotope values may affect these patterns and lead to high uncertainty in modeled KDD contributions.
