title: Die Darstellung der Hölle in der mittelhochdeutschen Erzählliteratur und ihr Einfluss auf ausgewählte Medien der Gegenwart
Creators: name: Grillitsch, Sandra
Year: 2017

description: Das Rätsel des Todes im Allgemeinen und das Geheimnis des vermeintlichen Lebens danach im Speziellen beschäftigen die Menschen seit urgeschichtlichen Zeiten. Wie kaum eine andere Epoche ist das Mittelalter von einer enormen religiösen Angst vor dem Jenseits geprägt. Wo diese Furcht verankert ist und in welchem Ausmaß sie sich auf das Leben der Gesellschaft auswirkte, wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit ermittelt. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf der Vorstellung der Hölle, einem visionären Raum der Strafe und Folter. Diese Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Darstellung des Strafortes zu ermitteln, seine Entwicklung zu verfolgen und infolgedessen seine Auswirkung auf die gegenwärtige Vorstellung zu untersuchen. Das Bild der Hölle hat eine lange Tradition, doch vor allem in der mittelalterlichen Zeit manifestierten sich jene Merkmale, die für uns heutzutage als typisch gelten. Nicht zuletzt die Visionäre dieser Zeit und ihre detailreichen Überlieferungen – konkret wurden hier die Visio Tnugdali und die Visio Godeschalci untersucht – bereicherten die Geschichte der Strafortvorstellung. Um herauszufinden, ob die mittelalterlichen Motive des Höllenbildes noch heute vorherrschen, wurden die US-amerikanische Mystery-Serie Supernatural und der ebenfalls aus Amerika stammende Thriller Constantine herangezogen und hinsichtlich dieser Merkmale untersucht. Die Analyse hat ergeben, dass diese durchaus übernommen wurden und die gegenwärtige Vorstellung sich nicht wesentlich von jener des Mittelalters unterscheidet, wobei einige Elemente dem heutigen Zeitgeist angepasst wurden. Die Meinungsumfrage zum heutigen Bild der Hölle mit insgesamt 215 Beantwortungen unterstreicht dies zusätzlich.

description: Resumo

 A dermatite peri-anal causada pelo estreptococo p-hemolítico do grupo A (EpGA), embora com um quadro clínico bem definido, continua a não ser reconhecida ou a sé-lo tardiamente, com a sintomatologia a persistir durante semanas a meses. Se diagnosticada precocemente o quadro clínico é habitualmente discreto mas quando o diagnóstico é tardio poderá instalar-se dor na defecação, obstipação, incontinência, rectorragia, levar à realização de exames invasivos ou mesmo à suspeita de abuso sexual. O diagnóstico clínico é confirmado pela positividade do teste rápido para pesquisa de antigénios do EpGA e/ou cultura do exsudato peri-anal.Os autores apresentam 5 casos, discutindo alguns destes aspectos.

description: As multipath components (MPCs) are experimentally observed to appear in clusters, cluster-based channel models have been focused in the wireless channel study. However, most of the MPC clustering algorithms for MIMO channels with delay and angle information of MPCs are based on the distance metric that quantifies the similarity of two MPCs and determines the preferred cluster shape, greatly impacting MPC clustering quality. In this paper, a general framework of Mahalanobis-distance metric is proposed for MPC clustering in MIMO channel analysis, without user-specified parameters. Remarkably, the popular multipath component distance (MCD) is proved to be a special case of the proposed distance metric framework. Furthermore, two machine learning algorithms, namely, weak-supervised Mahalanobis metric for clustering and supervised large margin nearest neighbor, are introduced to learn the distance metric. To evaluate the effectiveness, a modified channel model is proposed based on the 3GPP spatial channel model to generate clustered MPCs with delay and angular information, since the original 3GPP spatial channel model (SCM) is incapable to evaluate clustering quality. Experiment results show that the proposed distance metric can significantly improve the clustering quality of existing clustering algorithms, while the learning phase requires considerably limited efforts of labeling MPCs.

Subjects: subject: Computer Engineering
subject: Electrical and Computer Engineering

description: CMOS based computing is reaching its limits. To take computation beyond Moores law (the number of transistors and hence processing power on a chip doubles every 18 months to 3 years) requires research explorations in (i) new materials, devices, and processes, (ii) new architectures and algorithms, (iii) new paradigm of logic bit representation. The focus is on fundamental new ways to compute under the umbrella of rebooting computing such as spintronics, quantum computing, adiabatic and reversible computing. Therefore, this thesis highlights explicitly Quantum computing and Adiabatic logic, two new computing paradigms that come under the umbrella of rebooting computing. Quantum computing is investigated for its promising application in high-performance computing. The first contribution of this thesis is the design of two resource-efficient designs for quantum integer division. The first design is based on non-restoring division algorithm and the second one is based on restoring division algorithm. Both the designs are compared and shown to be superior to the existing work in terms of T-count and T-depth. The proliferation of IoT devices which work on low-power also has drawn interests to the rebooting computing. Hence, the second contribution of this thesis is proving that Adiabatic Logic is a promising candidate for implementation in IoT devices. The adiabatic logic family called Symmetric Pass Gate Adiabatic Logic (SPGAL) is implemented in PRESENT-80 lightweight algorithm. Adiabatic Logic is extended to emerging transistor devices.

title: Die Aufbereitung mittelhochdeutscher Erzähltexte in der Sekundarstufe I und II anhand von ausgewählten Lehrwerken
Creators: name: Eckert, Fiona
Year: 2017

description: Im Zentrum dieser Arbeit steht die Darstellung älterer deutscher Literatur in einigen Lehrwerken für den deutschsprachigen Literaturunterricht der Sekundarstufe I und II. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf dem Heldenepos Das Nibelungenlied und die Frage ob dieses Werk im Laufe der Zeit aus den Schullese- und Literaturbüchern verschwunden ist. Die Periode vom Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges bis zur Gegenwart stellt den Untersuchungszeitraum für die Arbeit dar. Am Beginn der Untersuchung wurden für die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus Lesebücher als Untersuchungsgegenstand ausgewählt. Die Analyse der Werke und Illustrationen ergab, dass die altertümlichen und mittelalterlichen Heldenstoffe zu ideologischen und propagandistischen Zwecken missbraucht wurden und deshalb eine bedeutende Rolle für den Deutschunterricht dieser Zeit spielten. Das Nibelungenlied wurde als deutsches Nationalepos stilisiert. Unmittelbar nach dem Ende des Dritten Reiches verschwand die ältere deutsche Literatur aus den Schullehrwerken, jedoch fand sie schon kurze Zeit später ihren Weg in den Deutschunterricht zurück. In den Lesebüchern der 60er und 70er Jahre konnte festgestellt werden, dass die mittelalterlichen Helden wieder präsent sind, jedoch in reduzierterer Form. Für den Zeitraum von den 80er Jahren bis zur Gegenwart wurden Literaturbücher für die Oberstufe als Untersuchungsgegenstand ausgewählt. Es zeigte sich, dass nun auch strukturelle Aspekte und die Rezeptionsgeschichte der Werke der älteren deutschen Literatur im Unterricht behandelt werden. Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass durch die Untersuchungen für die Arbeit deutlich wurde, dass sich die Darstellung der älteren deutschen Literatur im Laufe der Zeit zwar verändert hat, aber dass sie nach wie vor ein fester Bestandteil des Unterrichts ist.

description: Resumo

Determinar o prognóstico do neurodesenvolvimenío de um recém nascido afectado por qualquer problema neurológico constitui um desafto com uma importância decisiva, quer para os pais quer para os clínicos. A utilização, em determinados contextos clínicos, de um conjunto de técnicas actualmente disponíveis, pode ajudar a definir com maior precisão o prognóstico. O objectivo desta revisão é apresentar aos nconatologistas e pediatras o modo como, no actuai estado da arte, é possível estabelecer o prognóstico em recém-nascidos com encefalopatia hipóxico-ísquemica, enfarte cerebral ou problemas neurológicos associados à prematuridade.

Podemos estabelecer um prognóstico bem definido em muitos destes recém-nascidos correlacionando os sinais observados no exame neurológico padrão (com índices dc optimização bem definidos), com os observados com técnicas exequíveis á cabeceira do doente, tais como a ecografta cerebral transfontanelar, a medição do fluxo sanguíneo com Doppler, o electroencefalograma de amplitude integrada (ou monitor de função cerebral), e com os obtidos através de técnicas cada vez mais disponíveis, como a ressonância magnética e a espectroscopia. O conhecimento e a aplicação destes avanços pode ajudar os clínicos na difícil tarefa de aconselhamento dos pais e no planeamento do seguimento adequado a curto e a longo prazo.

description: Thouless pump is a one-dimensional dynamic topological effect that stems from the same topological mechanism as the renowned two-dimensional Chern insulators, with one momentum dimension replaced by a time variant evolution parameter. The underlying physics is abelian, concerning topologies of individual bands. By introducing multi-band non-abelian topology into pumping, much richer physics is expected that goes beyond the abelian counterpart. Here we report the observation of a non-abelian Thouless pump in an acoustic waveguide array with judiciously engineered coupling configurations. The observed non-abelian effect originates from time-evolution of eigen-states in Z_3 pump cycles that traverse across several band degeneracies in the parameter space in a three-band system. Interestingly, the pump of the eigenstates exhibits non-commutativity, i.e. the final state depends critically on the order of the pumping paths. Our study paves ways for exploring and utilizing non-abelian dynamical effects in classical systems.

Impact of biaxial birefringence in polar ice at radio frequencies on signal polarizations in ultra-high energy neutrino detection

description: It is known that polar ice is birefringent and that this can have implications for in-ice radio detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos. Previous investigations of the effects of birefringence on the propagation of radio-frequency signals in ice have found that it can cause time delays between pulses in different polarizations in in-ice neutrino experiments, and can have polarization-dependent effects on power in radar echoes at oblique angles in polar ice. I report, for the first time, on implications for the received power in different polarizations in high energy neutrino experiments, where the source of the emitted signal is in the ice, a biaxial treatment at radio wavelengths is used, and the signals propagate at oblique angles. I describe a model for this and compare with published results from the SPICE in-ice calibration pulser system at South Pole, where unexpectedly high cross-polarization power has been reported for some geometries. The data shows behaviors indicative of the need for a biaxial treatment of birefringence inducing non-trivial rotations of the signal polarization. The behaviors include, but are not limited to, a time delay that would leave an imprint in the power spectrum. I explain why this time delay has the potential to serve as both an in-ice neutrino signature and a measurement of the distance to the interaction. While further work is needed, I expect that proper handling of the effects presented here will increase the science potential of ultra-high energy neutrino experiments, and may impact the optimal designs of next-generation detectors.

description: Im Fokus der vorliegenden Masterarbeit steht die Thematik der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf von alleinerziehenden Müttern. Diese sind in ihrem Alltag mit der vorwiegend alleinigen Verantwortung fur die Familie und für den Lebensunterhalt konfrontiert. Da die Lebensbereiche Familie und Beruf widersprüchliche Verhaltensanforderungen und unterschiedliche zeitliche Strukturen verlangen, können sich dabei für Alleinerzieherinnen eine Vielzahl an Herausforderungen stellen. Ausgehend davon wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit der Frage nachgegangen, welche Erfahrungen alleinerziehende Mütter mit der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf machen. Die Basis der Untersuchung bilden zwei biographisch narrative Interviews mit berufstätigen, alleinerziehenden Müttern, die in Anlehnung an Schütze (1983) einer Analyse unterzogen wurden. Aus den Analysen wurden Bedingungen sichtbar, die Einfluss auf die Erfahrungen der alleinerziehenden Mütter mit der Vereinbarkeit der Lebensbereiche nehmen. Neben der gesamten Lebensgeschichte stellt die Unterstützung des sozialen Netzwerkes, vor allem der Herkunftsfamilie, einen bedeutenden Stellenwert dazu dar, wie die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf von alleinerziehenden Müttern erlebt wird.
description: In the following master thesis the issue of compatibility of family and work of single mothers is made subject of discussion. In everyday life they are solely confronted with the responsibility for the family and at the same time means of subsistence. Due to conflicting needs in behaviour and temporal structures of these two aspects of life, single mothers have to face a multitude of challenges. Based on this knowledge this piece of work deals with experiences of single mothers who arrange family and work. Two biographic narrative interviews of working single mothers, that are analysed in reference to Schütze (1983), serve as a basis for the investigation. These analyses showed the conditions that influence the experience of single mothers with the compatibility between family and work. In summary, it can be stated, that biography as well as social networking play an important role on single mothers’ perception of compatibility of family and work.

description: With the advancement of computer technology, there is a surge of interest in effective mapping methods for objects in higher-dimensional spaces. To establish a one-to-one correspondence between objects, higher-dimensional quasi-conformal theory can be utilized for ensuring the bijectivity of the mappings. In addition, it is often desirable for the mappings to satisfy certain prescribed geometric constraints and possess low distortion in conformality or volume. In this work, we develop a unifying framework for computing $n$-dimensional quasi-conformal mappings. More specifically, we propose a variational model that integrates quasi-conformal distortion, volumetric distortion, landmark correspondence, intensity mismatch and volume prior information to handle a large variety of deformation problems. We further prove the existence of a minimizer for the proposed model and devise efficient numerical methods to solve the optimization problem. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework using various experiments in two- and three-dimensions, with applications to medical image registration, adaptive remeshing and shape modeling.

description: We use halo dwarf stars with photometrically determined metallicities that are located within 2 kpc of the Sun to identify local halo substructure. The kinematic properties of these stars do not indicate a single, dominant radial merger event (RME). The retrograde Virgo Radial Merger (VRM) component has [Fe/H] = -1.7. A second, non-rotating RME component we name Nereus is identified with [Fe/H] = -2.1 and has similar energy as the VRM. A possible third RME we name Cronus is identified that is co-rotating with the disk, has lower energy than the VRM, and has [Fe/H] = -1.2. We identify the Nyx Stream in the data. In addition to these substructures, we observe metal-poor halo stars ([Fe/H] ~ -2.0 and $σ_v$ ~ 180 km s$^{-1}$) and a disk/Splash component with lower rotational velocity than the disk and lower metallicity than typically associated with the Splash. An additional excess of halo stars with low velocity and metallicity of [Fe/H] = -1.5 could be associated with the shell of a lower energy RME or indicate that lower energy halo stars have higher metallicity. Stars which comprise the "Gaia Sausage" velocity structure are a combination of the components identified in this work.

description: Neighborhood Preserving Embedding (NPE) is an important linear dimensionality reduction technique that aims at preserving the local manifold structure. NPE contains three steps, i.e., finding the nearest neighbors of each data point, constructing the weight matrix, and obtaining the transformation matrix. Liang et al. proposed a variational quantum algorithm (VQA) for NPE [Phys. Rev. A 101, 032323 (2020)]. The algorithm consists of three quantum sub-algorithms, corresponding to the three steps of NPE, and was expected to have an exponential speedup on the dimensionality $n$. However, the algorithm has two disadvantages: (1) It is incomplete in the sense that the input of the third sub-algorithm cannot be obtained by the second sub-algorithm. (2) Its complexity cannot be rigorously analyzed because the third sub-algorithm in it is a VQA. In this paper, we propose a complete quantum algorithm for NPE, in which we redesign the three sub-algorithms and give a rigorous complexity analysis. It is shown that our algorithm can achieve a polynomial speedup on the number of data points $m$ and an exponential speedup on the dimensionality $n$ under certain conditions over the classical NPE algorithm, and achieve significant speedup compared to Liang et al.'s algorithm even without considering the complexity of the VQA.

description: The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental property in the measurement of stellar masses and galaxy star formation histories. In this work we focus on the most massive galaxies in the nearby universe $\log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot})>11.2$. We obtain high quality Magellan/LDSS-3 long slit spectroscopy with a wide wavelength coverage of $0.4μ{\rm m}-1.01μ{\rm m}$ for 41 early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE survey, and derive high S/N spectra within an aperture of $R_{\rm e}/8$. Using detailed stellar synthesis models, we constrain the elemental abundances and stellar IMF of each galaxy through full spectral modeling. All the ETGs in our sample have an IMF that is steeper than a Milky Way (Kroupa) IMF. The best-fit IMF mismatch parameter, $α_{\rm IMF}=(M/L)/(M/L)_{\rm MW}$, ranges from 1.12 to 3.05, with an average of $\langle α_{\rm IMF} \rangle=1.84$, suggesting that on average, the IMF is more bottom-heavy than Salpeter. Comparing the estimated stellar mass with the dynamical mass, we find that most galaxies have stellar masses smaller than their dynamical masses within the $1σ$ uncertainty. We complement our sample with lower-mass galaxies from the literature, and confirm that $\log(α_{\rm IMF})$ is positively correlated with $\log(σ)$, $\log(M_{\star})$, and $\log(M_{\rm dyn})$. The IMF in the centers of more massive ETGs is more bottom-heavy. In addition, we find that $\log(α_{\rm IMF})$ is positively correlated with both [Mg/Fe] and the estimated total metallicity [Z/H]. We find suggestive evidence that the effective stellar surface density $Σ_{\rm Kroupa}$ might be responsible for the variation of $α_{\rm IMF}$. We conclude that $σ$, [Mg/Fe] and [Z/H] are the primary drivers of the global stellar IMF variation.

description: Solar flare forecasting can be realized by means of the analysis of magnetic data through artificial intelligence techniques. The aim is to predict whether a magnetic active region (AR) will originate solar flares above a certain class within a certain amount of time. A crucial issue is concerned with the way the adopted machine learning method is implemented, since forecasting results strongly depend on the criterion with which training, validation, and test sets are populated. In this paper we propose a general paradigm to generate these sets in such a way that they are independent from each other and internally well-balanced in terms of AR flaring effectiveness. This set generation process provides a ground for comparison for the performance assessment of machine learning algorithms. Finally, we use this implementation paradigm in the case of a deep neural network, which takes as input videos of magnetograms recorded by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on-board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO/HMI). To our knowledge, this is the first time that the solar flare forecasting problem is addressed by means of a deep neural network for video classification, which does not require any a priori extraction of features from the HMI magnetograms.

title: Maria Jeritza und die (Selbst-)Inszenierung der veristischen Diva
Creators: name: Padouvas, Lisa
Year: 2017

description: Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich, neben einer biografischen Annäherung an das Leben der österreichischen Opernsängerin mit tschechischen Wurzeln, Maria Jeritza, vor allem mit ihrer Selbstinszenierung und der von außen intendierten und geleiteten Darstellung als veristische Diva. Dabei liegt das Hauptaugenmerk auf der Analyse der Rezeption der Künstlerin durch die Wiener Tagespresse und Publizistik, mit einer Eingrenzung der Quellen auf die Jahre 1912 bis 1921, die vor allem wegen der Tätigkeit der Sängerin an der Wiener Hof- beziehungsweise Staatsoper einen wichtigen Abschnitt ihrer Karriere markieren. Durch die exemplarische Auswahl relevanter Pressemeldungen wird gezeigt, dass Maria Jeritza vor allem wegen ihres Talents als Singschauspielerin verehrt wurde und es wird deutlich, welchen Status die Sängerin im öffentlichen und gesellschaftlichen Leben Wiens einnahm. Ein wesentlicher Teil der Arbeit ist die Analyse der 1924 veröffentlichen Autobiografie der Künstlerin "Sunlight and Song. A Singer’s life", die als wichtiges Zeugnis ihrer Selbstinszenierung und -darstellung gesehen werden kann. Auch die Darstellung Maria Jeritzas auf Rollenportraits wirft eine interessante Spur auf.

description: We consider the problem of obtaining image quality representations in a self-supervised manner. We use prediction of distortion type and degree as an auxiliary task to learn features from an unlabeled image dataset containing a mixture of synthetic and realistic distortions. We then train a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using a contrastive pairwise objective to solve the auxiliary problem. We refer to the proposed training framework and resulting deep IQA model as the CONTRastive Image QUality Evaluator (CONTRIQUE). During evaluation, the CNN weights are frozen and a linear regressor maps the learned representations to quality scores in a No-Reference (NR) setting. We show through extensive experiments that CONTRIQUE achieves competitive performance when compared to state-of-the-art NR image quality models, even without any additional fine-tuning of the CNN backbone. The learned representations are highly robust and generalize well across images afflicted by either synthetic or authentic distortions. Our results suggest that powerful quality representations with perceptual relevance can be obtained without requiring large labeled subjective image quality datasets. The implementations used in this paper are available at \url{https://github.com/pavancm/CONTRIQUE}.

description: The crystalline structure of minerals due to the highly ordered assembly of its constituent atoms, ions or molecules confers a considerable hardness and brittleness to the materials. As a result, they are generally subject to fracture. Here we report that microcrystals of natural inorganic salt hydrates such as sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na2SO4.10H2O) and magnesium sulfate hexahydrate (MgSO4.6H2O) can behave remarkably differently: instead of having a defined faceted geometrical shape and being hard or brittle, they lose their facets and become soft and deformable when in contact with their saturated salt solution at their deliquescence point. As a result, the hydrated crystals simultaneously behaves as crystalline and liquid-like. We show that the observed elasticity is a consequence of a trade-off between the excess capillary energy introduced by the deformation from the equilibrium shape and viscous flow over the surface of the microcrystals. This surprising, unusual mechanical properties reported here reveals the role of the water molecules present in the crystalline structure. Although many compounds can incorporate water molecules in their crystalline frameworks, the relationship between the different hydrates and anhydrate crystal forms are still poorly investigated. Our results on the floppy behaviour of such crystalline structure reveals some unexplored properties of water molecules entrapped in the crystalline structure and can open novel routes for their application in various fields such as pharmaceutical sciences, thermal energy storage and even the traceability of water on Mars.
