description: It was demonstrated that optical modulation together with simultaneous terahertz (THz) imaging application enables an increase in contrast by an order of magnitude illustrating hence the technique as convenient contactless tool for characterization of graphene deposited on high-resistivity silicon substrates. It was shown that the single- and double-layer graphene can be discriminated and characterized via variation of THz image contrast using a discrete frequency in a continuous wave mode. Modulation depth of 45 % has been reached, the contrast variation from 0.16 up to 0.23 is exposed under laser illumination for the single and double layer graphene, respectively. The technique was applied in the development and investigation of graphene-based optical diffractive elements for THz imaging systems.

description: An earlier work [18] proposes a method for solving the Lagrangian dual of a constrained binary quadratic programming problem via quantum adiabatic evolution using an outer approximation method. This should be an efficient prescription for solving the Lagrangian dual problem in the presence of an ideally noise-free quantum adiabatic system. However, current implementations of quantum annealing systems demand methods that are efficient at handling possible sources of noise. In this paper, we consider a subgradient method for finding an optimal primal-dual pair for the Lagrangian dual of a constrained binary polynomial programming problem. We then study the quadratic stable set (QSS) problem as a case study. We see that this method applied to the QSS problem can be viewed as an instance-dependent penalty-term approach that avoids large penalty coefficients. Finally, we report our experimental results of using the D-Wave 2X quantum annealer and conclude that our approach helps this quantum processor to succeed more often in solving these problems compared to the usual penalty-term approaches.

description: The influence of morphology of 1-D ZnO nanostructures (nanowires and nanotubes) on the performance
of ZnO nanowires/CdSe/CuSCN semiconductor sensitized solar cells has been investigated. Arrays of ZnO nanowires
and nanotubes with identical external dimensions have been obtained by electrochemical deposition and etching at low
temperature (80 °C) in a time compatible with large-scale production. The morphology of ZnO nanowires and nanotubes
has an influence on the light scattering, the maximum reflectivity being shifted from 405 to 525 nm for nanotubes and
nanowires, respectively. Both ZnO nanowires and nanotubes have been sensitized to solar light by coating them with a
CdSe extremely thin layer. A correlation between the light scattering in ZnO arrays and the absorption in ZnO/CdSe
nanostructures has been shown, the absorption being clearly enhanced when the scattering is higher. The ZnO
nanotubes/CdSe/CuSCN solar cells showed a 30 % (a.v.) increase of the solar energy conversion efficiency compared to
those based on ZnO nanowires/CdSe, due to the larger aspect ratio of the nanotubes. The ZnO/CdSe core-shell nanotubes
exhibit a more attractive morphology for the transfer of electrical charge carriers, and arrays of ZnO nanotubes are
indeed very promising building blocks for semiconductor sensitized nanostructured solar cells.

description: A cell process based on the BP Saturn platform for standard mono-crystalline Cz is presented whereby the cell response has been improved resulting in cell efficiencies of 17,9% as confirmed by FhG-ISE CalLab. The process flow makes use of the Saturn LGBC Silicon Nitride (SiN) Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (LPCVD) selective emitter approach enhanced via an optimized front surface passivation. Excellent bulk minority carrier lifetime exceeding 100 microseconds is achieved using standard resistivity 1 Ohm.cm Cz wafers via an optimized phosphorous gettering process fully compatible with current process equipment and flow. Standard screen print metallization techniques allow the realization of optimized aluminium (Al) back surface fields (BSF) which when coupled with the enhanced surface passivation and bulk lifetime result in open circuit voltages (Voc) of 635 mV. Overall, the proposed manufacturing flow lowers the process thermal budget relative to the current Saturn approach. In this manner it is possible to achieve an excellent spectral response of the device over a wide wavelength range. Front contact grid pattern optimization yield fill factors (FF) greater than 79% where the front screen printed contacts lie perpendicular to the heavily P diffused laser defined grid. Although the proposed contact scheme has been reported previously in the literature this work reports the suitability of the process scheme to an LPCVD based SiN antireflective coating approach. Throughout the cell development cycle a Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology has been followed to optimize each of the device process building blocks and will be presented in this paper. The responses have been extensively characterized via Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE), Laser Beam Induced Current (LBIC), electroluminescence (EL) imaging and standard diode characterization. PV modules using this cell technology have been made and have successfully passed both the IEC and more stringent BPS module reliability testing criteria. Module field data will also be presented highlighting the stability of the energy yield of the proposed cell technology.

description: [Myzantha melanotis F.E. Wilson] Myzantha melanotis F.E. Wilson, 1911: 124 (one of the Mallee districts, northwest Victoria). Now Manorina flavigula melanotis (F.E. Wilson, 1911). See Salomonsen, 1967: 443, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617. COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, which was based on three specimens. Two syntypes are in NMV. One of these, R.5039, adult male, collected north of Kow Plains (35.14S, 141.22E), Victoria, Australia, on 8 September 1911, by F.E. Wilson, was designated lectotype of Myzantha melanotis by Schodde and Mason (1999: 273); the other, R.5040, female, with the same data, by this action became a paralectotype (W. Longmore, personal commun.). The AMNH specimen, AMNH 694538, formerly considered a syntype, by the same action also became a paralectotype. It has been so marked and remains in the type collection. Paralectotype AMNH 694538, an adult male with the same data as the other two specimens in the type series, came from the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection and bears Wilson’s original label marked ‘‘Co Type,’’ a Mathews type label marked ‘‘Co-Type’’ with a reference to Wilson’s description, and an AMNH type label, marked ‘‘Cotype,’’ filled in by Charles Vaurie, probably when F. Salomonsen was at AMNH working on the Meliphagidae. I did not find the specimen listed in Mathews’ catalog. The form melanotis has variously been accorded species status, as in Salomonsen (1967: 443), Christidis and Boles (2008: 185– 191), and Higgins et al. (2008: 617), who cited mitochondrial DNA studies. Schodde and Mason (1999: 269–273) discussed melanotis and gave a summary of treatments and their reasons for considering it a subspecies of M. flavigula. Further study is needed.

description: We investigate the satisfiability problem for Horn fragments of the Halpern-Shoham interval temporal logic depending on the type (box or diamond) of the interval modal operators, the type of the underlying linear order (discrete or dense), and the type of semantics for the interval relations (reflexive or irreflexive). For example, we show that satisfiability of Horn formulas with diamonds is undecidable for any type of linear orders and semantics. On the contrary, satisfiability of Horn formulas with boxes is tractable over both discrete and dense orders under the reflexive semantics and over dense orders under the irreflexive semantics, but becomes undecidable over discrete orders under the irreflexive semantics. Satisfiability of binary Horn formulas with both boxes and diamonds is always undecidable under the irreflexive semantics.

description: Threads Entwined, Stories Unfolded, Futures Imagined is a thesis project which begins to unravel narratives of becoming, personhood and the radicality of imagination that Punjabi Sikh women, in my life, have cultivated. I bring forward and explore these themes in my work as an artist. Through artistic exploration of a scrap fabric collection of traditional, cultural garments that goes back decades in my family, I bring together modes of being and becoming. Navigating forms of braiding, tying, knotting, as well as sewing and reconstructing, these fabrics serve as the groundwork in approaching the complexities, resilience and strength these women carry in their limitlessness. The recognition of our being here in what we know to be “Canada” is weighted by stories of struggle, displacement and adaptation. This thesis project is geared toward paving space for our voices to be amplified, our experiences shared and reckoned with through celebration. Sublime are The Imaginative Forces Within Us.

description: We derive the third subleading (N$^3$LO) corrections of the quadratic-in-spin sectors via the EFT of spinning objects in post-Newtonian (PN) gravity. These corrections consist of contributions from $4$ sectors for generic compact binaries, that enter at the fifth PN order. One of these contributions is due to a new tidal interaction, that is unique to the sectors with spin, and complements the first tidal interaction that also enters at this PN order in the simple point-mass sector. The evaluation of Feynman graphs is carried out in a generic dimension via advanced multi-loop methods, and gives rise to dimensional-regularization poles in conjunction with logarithms. At these higher-spin sectors the reduction of generalized Lagrangians entails redefinitions of the position beyond linear order. We provide here the most general Lagrangians and Hamiltonians. We then specify the latter to simplified configurations, and derive the consequent gauge-invariant relations among the binding energy, angular momentum, and frequency. We end with a derivation of all the scattering angles that correspond to an extension of our Hamiltonians to the scattering problem in the simplified aligned-spins configuration, as a guide to scattering-amplitudes studies.

description: Background: Although there have been some epidemiological studies on the effects of diet and nutritional status on cervical carcinogenesis, evidence for a protective effect of antioxidant micronutrients against cervical neoplasia is insufficient. The relationship between serum antioxidant micronutrients and sociodemographic factors and the risk of cervical neoplasia was investigated in this multi-center, case-control study. Methods: The study population included women with histopathological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 (n=147), CIN 2/3 (n=177), cervical cancer (n=160), and a control group (n=378). Epidemiological data were collected and the serum concentrations of β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin plus lutein, retinol, α-tocopherol, and γ-tocopherol were measured using reverse-phase, gradient high-pressure liquid chromatography. Results: Cervical cancer was found to be associated with older age, increased body mass index, and lower socioeconomic status as measured by education level and income. The mean serum concentrations of β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin plus lutein, retinol, α-tocopherol, and γ-tocopherol of cervical cancer patients were significantly lower than those of control subjects. Odds ratio adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus infection status revealed a significant gradient of decreasing risk of CIN 1, CIN 2/3, and cervical cancer with increasing serum concentrations of most antioxidant micronutrients. Conclusions: The results of this study show an inverse association between serum antioxidant micronutrient concentrations and the risk of cervical neoplasia. These results suggest that antioxidant micronutrients play a role in the prevention of cervical carcinogenesis. Clin Chem Lab Med 2009;47:1005–12.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694533, adult male, collected at Turner’s Well, 20 miles northeast of Bow Hill, 34.54S, 139.37E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 10 November 1911, by S.A. White (no. 249). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10142) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of wilsoni as ‘‘ South Australia.’’ The holotype bears White’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. A second specimen of this form, collected at Turner’s Well on the same day (see White, 1913a: 180) is a paratype: AMNH 694534, male; it has a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1925a: pl. 547, upper fig., opp. p. 47, text p. 48), with no type status attributed to it. Higgins et al. (2008: 617) treated melanotis as a monotypic species, citing mitochondrial DNA studies. Schodde and Mason (1999: 269–273) discussed the complex interactions of the populations of Manorina flavigula and suggested retaining melanotis as a subspecies of that species. Futher studies seem indicated.

Die Auswahl an kommerziell verfügbaren Antikörpern gegen Markerproteine mit gut dokumentierter hoher bis sehr hoher Spezifität für bestimmte Primärtumoren ist jedoch begrenzt. Dazu gehören der Thyreoidale Transkriptionsfaktor-1, Uroplakin III, GCDFP-15, Östrogen- und Progesteronrezeptoren, (-Fetoprotein, der A103-Antikörper gegen MART-1, die Cytokeratine 7 und 20, Basalzell-Cytokeratine, das carcinoembryonale Antigen, CA-125, EMA, Vimentin, HepPar-1, PSA, Thyreoglobulin und das S100-Protein. Die meisten dieser Marker sind jedoch nicht absolut spezifisch, die mit ihnen erzielten Färbeergebnisse müssen daher im Kontext des klinischen und konventionell-histomorphologischen Gesamtbefundes bewertet werden. Je genauer im Rahmen dieses Gesamtbefundes das Spektrum der infrage kommenden Karzinome und ihre relativen a priori Wahrscheinlichkeiten abgeschätzt werden, um so genauer lassen sich auch auf der Grundlage des Bayes-Theorems aus den Färbeergebnisse der Marker diagnostisch relevante Aussagen (prädiktive Werte) gewinnen.
description: Immunohistochemical studies on metastatic carcinomas of unknown primary site are cost-effective and often allow a specific identification of the tumor origin, especially if the metastases are adenocarcinomas by light microscopy. Commercially available site-specific markers include prostate-specific antigen, thyreoglobulin, thyreoid transcription factor-1, uroplakin III, GCDFP-15, estrogen- and progesterone rezeptors, (-Fetoprotein, the A103 monoclonal antibody against MART-1, cytokeratins 7 and 20, cytokeratins of basal cell type, p63, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA-125, EMA, vimentin, HepPar-1, and S100 protein. However, immunostainings with most of these markers do not show an absolute specificity for a certain primary site. For this reason, histopathologists interpretating staining results with these markers should take into consideration the available clinical data and the histological features of the metastatic carcinoma. These data are necessary to estimate the relative a priori probabilities of possible carcinomas. Based on Bayes` theorem, the a priori probabilities can then be used to calculate the diagnostically relevant predictive values for immunostaining results with the chosen markers.

description: The PV LEGAL project aims at reducing legal-administrative barriers for the development of
photovoltaic (PV) systems in 12 European countries. The action, co-funded by the “Intelligent Energy Europe”
programme and coordinated by BSW-Solar, will initially set-up a publicly accessible database illustrating the legaladministrative
procedures required to develop and install a PV system in the participating countries and later analyse,
discuss and propose framework changes resulting in more streamlined and proportionate procedures. This paper
introduces the project and describes how the initial research phase will be articulated. In order to exemplify the work
that will be carried out by the PV LEGAL project consortium over the next 3 years, the paper also focuses on Spain,
showing how the current framework places an disproportionate and unnecessary burden to developers of small PV
systems and how ASIF, an association part of the PV LEGAL consortium is collaborating to alleviate the problem.

description: The massive use of artificial neural networks (ANNs), increasingly popular in many areas of scientific computing, rapidly increases the energy consumption of modern high-performance computing systems. An appealing and possibly more sustainable alternative is provided by novel neuromorphic paradigms, which directly implement ANNs in hardware. However, little is known about the actual benefits of running ANNs on neuromorphic hardware for use cases in scientific computing. Here we present a methodology for measuring the energy cost and compute time for inference tasks with ANNs on conventional hardware. In addition, we have designed an architecture for these tasks and estimate the same metrics based on a state-of-the-art analog in-memory computing (AIMC) platform, one of the key paradigms in neuromorphic computing. Both methodologies are compared for a use case in quantum many-body physics in two dimensional condensed matter systems and for anomaly detection at 40 MHz rates at the Large Hadron Collider in particle physics. We find that AIMC can achieve up to one order of magnitude shorter computation times than conventional hardware, at an energy cost that is up to three orders of magnitude smaller. This suggests great potential for faster and more sustainable scientific computing with neuromorphic hardware.

description: We consider the real-time evolution of a strongly coupled system of lattice fermions whose dynamics is driven entirely by dissipative Lindblad processes, with linear or quadratic quantum jump operators. The fermion 2-point functions obey a closed set of differential equations, which can be solved with linear algebra methods. The staggered occupation order parameter of the t-V model decreases exponentially during the dissipative time evolution. The structure factor associated with the various Fourier modes shows the slowing down of low-momentum modes, which is due to particle number conservation. The processes with nearest-neighbor-dependent Lindblad operators have a decay rate that is proportional to the coordination number of the spatial lattice.

description: In this work novel wavelength-shifting (WLS) materials were prepared by dispersing 2,5-bis(5-tertbutyl-
2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene (BBOT) and 3-hydroxyflavone (3HF) in different transparent matrices. The dyes
were dispersed in polysiloxane films (BBOT), produced by means of spin coating, and in parylene films (BBOT and
3HF) produced by vapour co-deposition. FT-IR analysis was used to study the structure of WLS materials, while
their optical properties were characterized by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The transmission, excitation
and emission spectra were collected for all the produced materials and analysed to study the effect of the matrix on
the optical features of the dye.

See Salomonsen, 1967: 445, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 295–296, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 618–619. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696555, adult male, collected at Alexandria Spring (5 Alexandra), 19.00S, 136.42E (Times Atlas), Northern Territory, Australia, on 30 October 1905, by Wilfred Stalker. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3395) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of territori as ‘‘ Northern Territory.’’ The holotype bears Stalker’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The number ‘‘812’’ on the reverse of Stalker’s label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). The head of this specimen was almost completely shot away. Ingram (1907: 414) listed this single specimen of A. rufogularis from the Alexandria area, and it was the only specimen Mathews had from Northern Territory.

Methode: Prospektiv wurden die Aa. umbilicales bei 75 dichorialen und 30 monochorialen Geminischwangerschaften zwischen 15 und 38 Schwangerschaftswochen dopplersonographisch untersucht. Verglichen wurden die Messergebnisse der monochorialen mit den der dichorialen Zwillinge und denen von Einlingen in fünf Schwangerschaftsaltersgruppen (< 24, 24-27, 28-31, 32-35 und 36-39 SSW). Berücksichtigt wurden ausserdem fünf Fälle mit fetofetalem Transfusionssyndrom (FFTS). Ergebnis: Kein signifikanter Unterschied konnte zwischen den Medianwerten der monochorialen Gemini (mit und ohne FFTS) und denen der dichorialen Gemini bzw. denen der Einlinge festgestellt werden. Nachweisbar sind Unterschiede im Abfall des Resistance-Index im Schwangerschaftsverlauf. Benachbarte Altersgruppen gleicher Chorionizität weisen signifikante Sprünge (p
description: The Resistance-Index in the umbilical artery in dichorionic twins compared with monochorionic twins. Burkhardt T, Kilavuz Ö, Vetter K Department of Obstetrics, Vivantes Hospital Neukolln Berlin Objective: The aim of this study was to detect differences in the resistance-index in the umbilical artery between dichorionic and monochorionic twins. Additional, the resistance-index in twin pregnancies was compared to the reference values of single pregnancies. Methods: In a prospective study Doppler recordings of the umbilical arteries of 75 dichorionic and 30 monochorionic twins were obtained. The Doppler examinations were performed between 15 and 38 weeks of gestation. According the gestational age the Doppler findings were divided in five week groups (< 24, 24-27, 28-31, 32-35 and 36-39 weeks) and were compared within placentation and between the different placentations. In five monochorionic twins a twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) was diagnosed. These five pairs were analyzed in a separate group. Results: There are no significant differences in the resistance index in the umbilical arteries in monochorial without TTTS and dichorial twins compared to the reference values of single pregnancies. Monochorial twins without TTTS compared with dichorial twins showed no significant increased resistance indices in the umbilical arteries. Dichorial twins showed significant (p
Nonequilibrium current-carrying steady states in the anisotropic $XY$ spin chain

description: Out-of-equilibrium behavior is explored in the one-dimensional anisotropic $XY$ model. Initially preparing the system in the isotropic $XX$ model with a linearly varying magnetic field to create a domain-wall magnetization profile, dynamics is generated by rapidly changing the exchange interaction anisotropy and external magnetic field. Relaxation to a nonequilibrium steady state is studied analytically at the critical transverse Ising point, where correlation functions may be computed in closed form. For arbitrary values of anisotropy and external field, an effective generalized Gibbs' ensemble is shown to accurately describe observables in the long-time limit. Additionally, we find spatial oscillations in the exponentially decaying, transverse spin-spin correlation functions with wavelength set by the magnetization jump across the initial domain wall. This wavelength depends only weakly on anisotropy and magnetic field in contrast to the current, which is highly dependent on these parameters.

description: Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is a well established technique for the study of the properties of thin films. Despite the noticeable
and well-known advantages offered by SE in such field, the use of this technique for the characterization of multi-layer polymer solar
cells is still scarce. Nevertheless, SE allows getting valuable information for each of the deposited layers of the cells in a reliable and
non destructive way. These aspects, as well as the short time needed for the measurement, make ellipsometry a really attracting
candidate for the study of organic devices and for in line quality control in the future production process of such devices.
In this work we present the results of a systematic optical characterization of multilayer thin films used for bulk heterojunction
polymeric solar cells based on the well established donor-acceptor system poly(3-hexylthiophene)/phenyl-C61-butirric acid methyl
ester (P3HT:PCBM) as well as on different conjugated polymers, namely poly[9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene-co-4,4’-
triphenylamine] (PEFTPA), a material exhibiting a good hole mobility. The polymer solar cell architecture considered is the standard
Glass/ITO/PEDOT-PSS/blend multilayer structure. Ellipsometric measurements were also compared with results coming from
traditional techniques such as contact profilometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy and a good agreement among the results was shown.
Solving Optimization Problems by the Public Goods Game

description: We introduce a method based on the Public Goods Game for solving optimization tasks. In particular, we focus on the Traveling Salesman Problem, i.e. a NP-hard problem whose search space exponentially grows increasing the number of cities. The proposed method considers a population whose agents are provided with a random solution to the given problem. In doing so, agents interact by playing the Public Goods Game using the fitness of their solution as currency of the game. Notably, agents with better solutions provide higher contributions, while those with lower ones tend to imitate the solution of richer agents for increasing their fitness. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method allows to compute exact solutions, and suboptimal ones, in the considered search spaces. As result, beyond to propose a new heuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, our work aims to highlight the potentiality of evolutionary game theory beyond its current horizons.

description: Mg/Ag cathode electrodes suitable as selective contacts for CuPc:C60-based bulk heterojunction organic solar
cells are demonstrated. An optimum cathode structure was formed by the nominal thickness adjustment of the Mg and Ag
layers sequentially deposited by the physical vapor deposition onto the fresh surface of the CuPc:C60 absorber. This
procedure ensures formation of an electrode with a Mg:Ag/Ag structure; the Mg:Ag alloy-layer with an optimum work
function simultaneously acts as an ohmic contact to effectively collect the electrons from C60 acceptor material and a
blocking contact to effectively push the holes from the CuPc/cathode interface. As a result, efficiencies of (3.0 ± 0.3)% have
been achieved. The chemical, structural, and electronic properties of the interface between the CuPc:C60 absorber and the
Mg:Ag/Ag cathode were investigated by combining grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) and x-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. Both GI-XRD and XPS measurements revealed the diffusion of Mg into the absorber
bulk. Additionally, a reaction between Mg and Cu2+ with a concurrent change of oxidation state of both metals at the
absorber/cathode interface was detected by the XPS analysis. The photoelectrical properties of complete devices were
correlated with the nominal Mg and Ag layer thicknesses in the Mg/Ag-cathode structure. A model for an effective selective
interface between an organic bulk heterojunction absorber and an inorganic electrode is proposed.

description: Spatially localised defect structures emerge spontaneously in a hydrodynamic description of an active polar fluid comprising polar 'actin' filaments and 'myosin' motor proteins that (un)bind to filaments and exert active contractile stresses. These emergent defect structures are characterized by distinct textures and can be either static or mobile - we derive effective equations of motion for these 'extended particles' and analyse their shape, kinetics, interactions and scattering. Depending on the impact parameter and propulsion speed, these active defects undergo elastic scattering or merger. Our results are relevant for the dynamics of actomyosin-dense structures at the cell cortex, reconstituted actomyosin complexes and 2D active colloidal gels.

description: Technological advances and globalisation brings tremendous opportunities for human advancement. It also brings societal challenges through increasing economic inequalities, job uncertainty, shifiting global migration patterns, the need to dissolve humanitarian crises and rebuild social capital. As the impact of global warming and climate change becomes more visible, creative solutions and innovative projects are required to address the ever increasing 21st century challenges. Facing these unprecedented challenges and opportunities, university graduates today require an education that not only gives them a sound knowledge skill-set, they also need to know how to collaborate with others from different disciplines and cultures, in a way that solves complex problems and in doing so, create economic and social value. Of critical importance is the preparation of graduates for an era of unprecedented complexity that will change the world of work as we know it today.
