description: We show that, contrary to previous belief, the transition to the antiferromagnetic state of Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ in zero magnetic field does show up in the transverse resistivity. We attribute this to a change in transverse integrals associated to the magnetic ordering, which is evaluated considering hopping of the localized charge. The evolution of the resistivity anomaly associated to the magnetic transition under applied magnetic field is studied. It tracks the magnetic phase diagram, allowing to identify three different lines, notably the spin-flip line, associated with the reordering of the ferromagnetic component of the magnetization, and an intriguing line for field induced magnetism, also corroborated by magnetization measurements.
Social Media and the Idle No More Movement: Citizenship, Activism and Dissent in Canada
Creators: name: Tupper, Jennifer
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: This paper, informed by a critique of traditional understandings of citizenship and civic education, explores the use of social media as a means of fostering activism and dissent. Specifically, the paper explores the ways in which the Idle No More Movement, which began in Canada in 2012 marshalled social media to educate about and protest Bill C-45, an omnibus budget bill passed by the Federal Government. The paper argues that Idle No More is demonstrative of young people’s commitments to social change and willingness to participate in active forms of dissent. As such, it presents opportunities for fostering ethically engaged citizenship through greater knowledge and awareness of Indigenous issues in Canada, which necessarily requires an understanding of the historical and contemporary legacies of colonialism that continually position First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples as ‘lesser’ citizens. Finally, the paper suggests that the example of Idle No More stands in contrast to the notion of a “civic vacuum” that is often used to justify the re-entrenchment of traditional civic education programs in schools and as such, can be used as a pedagogic tool to teach for and about dissent.

The Prediction of Political Competencies by Political Action and Political Media Consumption
Creators: name: Reichert, Frank
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: Political competencies are often considered a precondition for political action; however, they are not independent of previous political participation, which may also include the frequency and the kind of political media consumption. My research aims at finding out the importance of participation in political activities in the past, as well as taking over civic responsibility in positions at school or university for cognitive political competencies. The focus is on structural political knowledge of the polity, symbolic political knowledge about political figures and actors, and political reasoning. The main hypothesis reads that the media primarily influence symbolic political knowledge, while structural political knowledge is mainly achieved by active political participation. The ability of political reasoning is assumed to be equally influenced by both, media consumption and political participation. By using a small, homogeneous sample of university students, these hypotheses are examined by taking into consideration socio-demographic control variables and political interest in statistical analyses and by considering differential effects of various political activities and different forms of political media consumption. The results are primarily discussed with respect to potential future research and by considering political education in modern societies.

description: We consider a model of a quenched disordered geometry in which a random metric is defined on ${\mathbb R}^2$, which is flat on average and presents short-range correlations. We focus on the statistical properties of balls and geodesics, i.e., circles and straight lines. We show numerically that the roughness of a ball of radius $R$ scales as $R^χ$, with a fluctuation exponent $χ\simeq 1/3$, while the lateral spread of the minimizing geodesic between two points at a distance $L$ grows as $L^ξ$, with wandering exponent value $ξ\simeq 2/3$. Results on related first-passage percolation (FPP) problems lead us to postulate that the statistics of balls in these random metrics belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class of surface kinetic roughening, with $ξ$ and $χ$ relating to critical exponents characterizing a corresponding interface growth process. Moreover, we check that the one-point and two-point correlators converge to the behavior expected for the Airy-2 process characterized by the Tracy-Widom (TW) probability distribution function of the largest eigenvalue of large random matrices in the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE). Nevertheless extreme-value statistics of ball coordinates are given by the TW distribution associated with random matrices in the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. Furthermore, we also find TW-GUE statistics with good accuracy in arrival times.

description: We have carefully studied how local measurements of the Hubble constant, $H_0$, can be influenced by a variety of different parameters related to survey geometry, depth, and size, as well as observer position in space. Our study is based on N-body simulations of structure in the standard $Λ$CDM model and our conclusion is that the expected variance in measurements of $H_0$ is far too small to explain the current discrepancy between the low value of $H_0$ inferred from measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the Planck collaboration and the value measured directly in the local universe by use of Type Ia supernovae. This conclusion is very robust and does not change with different assumptions about survey geometry and effective sky coverage or observer position in space.

Creators: name: Neunteufl, Theresa
Year: 2022

description: Dieser Text befasst sich mit der zunehmenden Unterstützung des Rechtspopulismus in Europa als Reaktion auf die wachsende affektive Polarisierung, die in den letzten Jahren zunehmend zu verzeichnen ist. Genauer gesagt wird analysiert, wie der Rechtspopulismus Frauen in seiner Ideologie positioniert und welche Politiken und Werte Wählerinnen anziehen und sie folglich dazu bewegen, sich aktiv zunehmend an rechtsextremer Politik zu beteiligen. Die gewählte Forschungsmethode ist eine vergleichende Fallstudienanalyse von zwei Staaten und ihren jeweiligen rechtspopulistischen Parteien, genauer definiert der FPÖ in Österreich und der RN in Frankreich. Die Arbeit betrachtet das Thema mit einer intersektionalen feministischen Herangehensweise, welche den geeigneten theoretischen Rahmen bietet, um die ausgrenzende und diskriminierende Ideologie des Rechtspopulismus zu erörtern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die diskursive Zweideutigkeit der Geschlechtergleichheit innerhalb der rechtsextremen Ideologie und wie Narrative zur Konstruktion eines emanzipierten "Wir" die feministische Agenda in opportunistischer Weise instrumentalisieren. Die Ergebnisse porträtieren außerdem, wie wichtig die weibliche Wählerschaft für den Erfolg rechtspopulistischer Parteien ist und wie Wählerinnen gezielt angesprochen werden.
description: This thesis concerns itself with the increasing support for far-right populism in Europe as a reaction to the increasing affective polarisation observable in recent years. More specifically, the text analyses how different far-right populist parties portray women within their ideologies and which policies and values attract women voters and consequently persuade them to actively participate in their political sphere. The chosen method for research is a comparative case study analysis of two country cases and their respective far-right populist parties, namely the FPÖ in Austria and the RN in France. The whole issue is approached through the lens of intersectional feminism as a suitable theoretical framework to elaborate on the exclusionary and discriminatory ideology of far-right populism. The results show the discursive ambiguity of gender equality within far-right ideology and how narratives of constructing an emancipated “we” exploit the feminist agenda in an opportunistic manner. The results further reveal the importance of the women electorate for the success of contemporary far-right populist parties and how women voters are specifically addressed.

Despite the correlation length being always infinite the closing of the gap at the critical point makes the driving Hamiltonian of increasing complexity also in this case. To this aim we develop a hybrid strategy combining shortcut to adiabaticity and optimal control that allows us to achieve remarkably good performance in suppressing the defect production across the phase transition.

title: Conflicting women - analysing the role of Palestinian women in the first Intifada
Creators: name: Fürnkranz, Katharina
Year: 2022

description: In dieser Arbeit wird die Rolle der palästinensischen Frauen während der ersten Intifada analysiert, wobei den Frauenorganisationen besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, aufbauend auf früheren Forschungsarbeiten über Frauen in der Konfliktlösung und im Nahen Osten aufzuzeigen, wie und warum sich Frauen an dieser Bewegung beteiligten. Neben der Analyse der palästinensischen Gesellschaft während der ersten Intifada stützt sich die Arbeit auch auf die Feldforschung anderer Wissenschaftler:innen, während der ersten Intifada durchgeführt wurde, sowie auf Medienberichte. Es scheint einen starken Einfluss der sozioökonomischen Klasse und der Tradition zu geben, der bestimmt, auf welche Weise und in welchem Ausmaß Frauen am Widerstand teilnahmen, was auch die palästinensische Nationalbewegung beeinfloss. Durch die kombinierte Betrachtung von Geschlecht, Klasse und Werten können die Ursachen und Verläufe von Konflikten besser verstanden werden, was für den Befriedungs- und Versöhnungsprozess nach dem Waffenstillstand, nach dem Abkommen oder nach dem Konflikt von Nutzen sein könnte.
description: This thesis analyses the role of Palestinian women during the first Intifada and draws special attention to women’s organisations. Aim of this thesis is to highlight how and why women participated in this grassroots resistance, building on previous research on women in conflict resolution and the Middle East. Aside from the analysis of Palestinian society during the first Intifada, the thesis also draws from fieldwork conducted by other scholars during the first Intifada as well as media reports. There seems to be a strong influence in terms of socio-economic class and tradition that determines in what way and to what extent women participated in the resistance, which does not undermine their impact negatively the Palestinian national movement. In applying a combined lens of gender, class and values, the causes and courses of conflicts may be better understood, which could be beneficial to the pacification process and the reconciliation process post-armistice, post-agreement or post-conflict.

Political Participation as Public Pedagogy – The Educational Situation in Young People’s Political Conversations in Social Media
Creators: name: Andersson, Erik
name: Olson, Maria
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: In this article we argue that young people’s political participation in the social media can be considered ‘public pedagogy’. The argument builds on a previous empirical analysis of a Swedish net community called Black Heart. Theoretically, the article is based on a particular notion of public pedagogy, education and Hannah Arendt’s expressive agonism. The political participation that takes place in the net community builds up an educational situation that involves central characteristics: communication, community building, a strong content focus and content production, argumentation and rule following. These characteristics pave the way for young people’s public voicing, experiencing, preferences and political interests that guide their everyday political life and learning – a phenomenon that we understand as a form of public pedagogy.

When Parents United: A Historical Case Study Examining the Changing Civic Landscape of American Urban Education Reform

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: In this article we explore recent history to uncover the role that public engagement has played in the effort to reform America's urban schools. In the place of narratives that focus on elite actors (foundations, unions, corporations, etc.), we focus on the role of local stakeholders. Specifically, we look to how the changing political context (policy agendas and governance structures) of urban school systems has shifted possibilities for communities to participate in determining the direction of reform efforts in urban school systems. Through interviews and archival research, we examine the case of a single parent-led advocacy organization, Parents United for the D.C. Public Schools. Established in 1980 and remaining active until the late 1990s, Parents United developed a broad-based vision of educational equity and had a significant impact on the local public school system during that time. We show that in the current political and social context of education reform, communities may derive important lessons from Parents United while also devising new strategies for public engagement.

Near-Optimum Online Ad Allocation for Targeted Advertising

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: Motivated by Internet targeted advertising, we address several ad allocation problems. Prior work has established these problems admit no randomized online algorithm better than $(1-\frac{1}{e})$-competitive (\cite{karp1990optimal,mehta2007adwords}), yet simple heuristics have been observed to perform much better in practice. We explain this phenomenon by studying a generalization of the bounded-degree inputs considered by Buchbinder et al.~\cite{buchbinder2007online}, graphs which we call $(k,d)-bounded$. In such graphs the maximal degree on the online side is at most $d$ and the minimal degree on the offline side is at least $k$. We prove that for such graphs, these problems' natural greedy algorithms attain competitive ratio $1-\frac{d-1}{k+d-1}$, tending to \emph{one} as $d/k$ tends to zero. We prove this bound is tight for these algorithms. Next, we develop deterministic primal-dual algorithms for the above problems achieving competitive ratio $1-(1-\frac{1}{d})^k>1-\frac{1}{e^{k/d}}$, or \emph{exponentially} better loss as a function of $k/d$, and strictly better than $1-\frac{1}{e}$ whenever $k\geq d$. We complement our lower bounds with matching upper bounds for the vertex-weighted problem. Finally, we use our deterministic algorithms to prove by dual-fitting that simple randomized algorithms achieve the same bounds in expectation. Our algorithms and analysis differ from previous ad allocation algorithms, which largely scale bids based on the spent fraction of their bidder's budget, whereas we scale bids according to the number of times the bidder could have spent as much as her current bid. Our algorithms differ from previous online primal-dual algorithms, as they do not maintain dual feasibility, but only primal-to-dual ratio, and only attain dual feasibility upon termination. We believe our techniques could find applications to other well-behaved online packing problems.
The Struggling Concept of Social Issues in Social Studies: A Discourse Analysis on the Use of a Central Concept in Syllabuses for Social Studies in Swedish Upper Secondary School
Creators: name: Morén, Göran
name: Aldenmyr, Sara Irisdotter
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: This is a study of how the concept of social issues was used in various ways in syllabuses for the school subject Samhällskunskap (Social Studies) in Swedish upper secondary school from 1965 to 2011. The concept is present in all syllabuses, be it with shifting status and position. A discourse analysis of syllabus texts shows how the concept of social issues in some contexts functions as a subject content among other contents, while functioning as a central, organizing principle in others. This analysis also shows how the use of the concept of social issues further indicates what educational philosophies and working methods are advocated in the syllabuses. The use of the concept may in turn be interpreted as part of a discursive struggle of powers between advocators of a differentiated upper-secondary school model on the one hand and advocators of a unified upper-secondary school model on the other. In this sense, the study of a single concept used in syllabuses may contribute to a discussion about larger educational discourse and the normativity embedded in education in general and in the school subject Samhällskunskap in particular.

Preparing for Citizenship: Second Order Thinking Concepts in Social Science Education
Creators: name: Sandahl, Johan
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: Social Science as a school subject aims at making students knowledgeable in societal issues as well as preparing them for citizenship. Despite the strong position of Social Science in the Swedish school curricula little research has been done in the field. Previous research has mainly concentrated on factual knowledge and conceptual learning, or the role of deliberation in class activities. Less research has focused on the role of disciplinary thinking and how that might promote learning how to think like a social scientist and at the same time prepare students for citizenship. By using a conceptual framework from history didactics Social Science education is explored in search of second-order concepts. Also, the relationship between these concepts and democratic socialisation is investigated. By focusing on one substantial case, globalisation, this study tries to reach beyond the various topics commonly covered in Social Science education. This was done by observations of teaching in Social Science and interviews with six experienced teachers. Manifested in the teachers’ voices were ideas on how to organise, analyse, interpret and critically review discourses in society. The proposed second order concepts of Social Science found in the teachers’ voices were: social science perspectives, social science causality, social science evidence and inference, social science abstraction, social science comparison and contrast, and the evaluative dimension of social science. In order to reach their goals in Social Science the teachers underlined the importance of using these concepts. When pupils work scientifically they develop a way of thinking about society and they challenge their set opinions about different topics. Therefore, second order concepts are important for learning Social Science and at the same time preparing students for a life as citizens.

Social Science Teachers on Citizenship Education: A Comparative Study of Two Post-Communist Countries
Creators: name: Jeliazkova, Margarita
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: This paper presents some of the results of a comparative study of high school social science teachers in two post-communist European countries: Bulgaria and Croatia. In both countries, citizenship education was implemented as a part of the EU accession efforts. I discuss the ways teachers deal with the everyday dilemmas of teaching in a field which is by definition controversial and loaded with diverse political meanings. The study involved teachers in the two countries using Q-methodology, a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Five distinct ways of dealing with these questions, five types of views were found in Bulgaria: Pragmatic Conservatives, Deliberative Liberals, Local Social Guardians, Personal Growth Facilitators, and Global Future Debaters. In Croatia, the types of views were: Patriotic Conservatives, Liberal Democracy Mentors, Reflective Humanists, and Personal Growth Coaches. The differences and similarities between the teachers’ views in both countries are compared. The study highlights the crucial role of teachers, of their beliefs and experiences in shaping national and European citizenship education policies. The implications of the study findings for citizenship education policy, curriculum development, and teacher training are briefly discussed.

description: Die im Jahr 2015 unter der Schirmherrschaft der Vereinten Nationen verabschiedeten Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung stellen einen umfassenden Plan für eine Zukunft dar, die auf den Säulen Umweltschutz, gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt und wirtschaftlicher Wohlstand beruht. Bislang hat eine Vielzahl von AkteurInnen - von den Vereinten Nationen, Staaten, internationalen Nichtregierungsorganisationen und regionalen Organisationen bis hin zu WissenschaftlerInnen und Unternehmen - an der Entwicklung von Methoden gearbeitet, welche die globale Leistung bei der Erreichung der SDGs adäquat erfassen. Diese Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zu den Bemühungen, verschiedene Wege zu analysieren, wie die SDGs miteinander vernetzt sind und konzentriert sich dabei auf Regionen und die Auswirkungen, die Länder auf ihre Nachbarn bei der Erreichung der SDGs haben. Durch die Verschmelzung eines Dreiklangs von Theorien aus den internationalen Beziehungen und dem Völkerrecht will die Studie neue Einblicke in die Bewertung bei der Umsetzung der SDGs bieten. Regionale Verflechtungen, die indirekt durch den International Spillover Index widergespiegelt werden, könnten die Vorgehensweisen verändern, wie Länder bei der Erreichung der SDGs untereinander Einfluss nehmen und miteinander interagieren. Bei der Ausarbeitung von Strategien und der Umsetzung bestimmter Aktivitäten kann ein Land nicht nur seine SDG-Leistung verbessern oder verschlechtern, sondern auch die Art und Weise beeinflussen, wie seine Nachbarländer die nachhaltige Entwicklung angehen. Angesichts der nun seit zwei Jahren andauernden globalen Stagnation bei der Verwirklichung der Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung sollte der Ansatz für die Verteilung von Ressourcen und die Festlegung von Agenden neu überdacht werden, damit die Weltbevölkerung wieder auf den richtigen Weg kommt, um die angestrebten Ziele für unsere gemeinsame wohlhabende Zukunft zu erreichen.
Economic Citizenship and Socio-Economic Rationality as Foundations of an Appropriate Economic Education
Creators: name: Schank, Christoph
name: Lorch, Alexander
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: In this article we argue that social science education needs to convey more than operational mechanisms of society. Especially in socio-economic education, questions of business ethics, i.e. phenomena of economics and society need to be integrated and reflected, decidedly focusing on the moral content of economics. With the introduction of economic citizenship as the ideal economic actor to be the purpose of economic education, this paper proposes that economic education needs to connect economic expertise and moral judgment and should also allude to the necessity of every market action’s conditional legitimization by society. We propose to discuss different ‘sites’ of morality as a heuristic approach to the different areas of economic responsibility. The individual, organizational and political level of responsibility helps to categorize the different moral issues of economic activity and serves as a great pattern to explain economic relations to scholars and students.

description: Die multilaterale Außenpolitik ist ein oft vergessener Eckpfeiler des militärischen Krisenmanagements der EU bei der Bekämpfung maritimer Sicherheitsbedrohungen. Diese Masterarbeit beabsichtigt, die internen und internationalen Kooperationserfahrungen der EU bei der Bekämpfung der Piraterie vor der somalischen Küste und der Eindämmung des Menschenschmuggels im Mittelmeer kritisch zu untersuchen. In einer vergleichenden Studie wird untersucht, wie sich der politische Wille der EU-Mitgliedstaaten, die Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der EU-Institutionen und insbesondere die EU-NATO Zusammenarbeit auf den Erfolg von zwei GSVP-Militäroperationen, EUNAVFOR Atalanta und EUNAVFOR Sophia, auswirken. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Faktor der effektiven Zusammenarbeit in der Vorbereitungsphase und in der erfolgreichen Umsetzung der Ziele bei Atalanta überwiegt, während Sophia große Lücken bezüglich der EU-Solidarität bei der Bewältigung des Flüchtlingsstroms nach Europa offenbart. Insgesamt muss festgestellt werden, dass wirtschaftliche Interessen die politische EU-Agenda dominieren und die humanitären Rettungsaktionen der EU-Streitkräfte auf See dem militärischen Kampf gegen die Schlepperboote untergeordnet werden.

description: We describe a compact, ultra-clean device used to deploy radioactive sources along the vertical axis of the KamLAND liquid-scintillator neutrino detector for purposes of calibration. The device worked by paying out and reeling in precise lengths of a hanging, small-gauge wire rope (cable); an assortment of interchangeable radioactive sources could be attached to a weight at the end of the cable. All components exposed to the radiopure liquid scintillator were made of chemically compatible UHV-cleaned materials, primarily stainless steel, in order to avoid contaminating or degrading the scintillator. To prevent radon intrusion, the apparatus was enclosed in a hermetically sealed housing inside a glove box, and both volumes were regularly flushed with purified nitrogen gas. An infrared camera attached to the side of the housing permitted real-time visual monitoring of the cable's motion, and the system was controlled via a graphical user interface.

description: Using symmetry considerations, we derive Ward identities which relate the three point function of scalar perturbations produced during inflation to the scalar four point function, in a particular limit. The derivation assumes approximate conformal invariance, and the conditions for the slow roll approximation, but is otherwise model independent. The Ward identities allow us to deduce that the three point function must be suppressed in general, being of the same order of magnitude as in the slow roll model. They also fix the three point function in terms of the four point function, upto one constant which we argue is generically suppressed. Our approach is based on analyzing the wave function of the universe, and the Ward identities arise by imposing the requirements of spatial and time reparametrization invariance on it.

Encouraging Classroom Discussion
Creators: name: McKee, Robert Joseph

description: Classroom discussion has the potential to enhance the learning environment and encourages students to become active participants in the educational process. Student participation in classroom discussion has been shown to significantly improve the student learning experience. Research suggests that classroom discussion is an effective method for encouraging student classroom participation and for motivating student learning beyond the classroom. Participation in classroom discussion encourages students to become active collaborators in the learning process, while at the same time providing instructors with a practical method of assessing student learning. Classroom discussion is an effective tool for developing higher-level cognitive skills like critical thinking. Despite the potential discussion holds for student learning, many in academia lament the lack of participation in the classroom. The lack of student participation in classroom discussion is not a recent problem; it is one that has frustrated instructors for decades. Instructors report that some of the more current methods for encouraging classroom discussion can be exasperating and at times non-productive. This two-year study of 510 college and university students provides insight into the reasons why some students do not participate in classroom discussion. This study, which also elicited input from sixteen college and university professors and two high school teachers, offers some suggestions for creating and encouraging an environment conducive to student participation in the classroom.

title: Zwischen Frauenbild, Gewaltdarstellung und Erinnerung
Creators: name: Gotz, Lucia
Year: 2022

description: Rund um die seit 1993 dokumentierten Femizide in Ciudad Juárez hat sich vor allem seit den 2000er Jahren eine stetig wachsende literarische Bewegung entwickelt, die sich dem polizeilichen und politischen Diskurs der Marginalisierung und Ignoranz dieser Problematik explizit entgegenstellt. Anhand von ausgewählten diskursanalytischen Fragestellungen wird die Diversität und Vielfältigkeit dieser literarischen Bewegung dargestellt und analysiert. Dafür werden zwei zentrale Bögen gespannt: Einerseits sollen die Spezialdiskurse ‘Frauen-bild’, ‘Gewaltdarstellung’ und ‘Erinnerung’ in ausgewählten literarischen Texten untersucht werden, da sie nicht nur zentrale Thematiken des Problemfeldes Femizid verkörpern, son-dern gleichzeitig gewissermaßen den Ablauf eines Femizids darstellen – ein misogynes Frauenbild führt zu extremer Gewalt, die in der Ermordung einer weiblichen Person kulmi-niert, danach bleibt nur noch die Erinnerung an die Ermordete. Andererseits geben die sechs für diese Analyse zentralen Texte die Vielfalt der literarischen Bewegung rund um die Femizide in Ciudad Juárez wieder. Mit Humberto Robles’ Mujeres de Arena ist ein Theater-stück, mit Isaac Gomez’ The Way She Spoke ein Hörspiel vertreten, Alicia Gaspar de Albas Desert Blood und Sam Hawkens The Dead Women of Juárez repräsentieren die Gattung der Romane und die Gedichtbände Each and Her von Valerie Martínez und Primera tormenta von Susana Chávez Castillo repräsentieren die lyrische Gattung. Gleichzeitig zeigen diese sechs Werke die sprachliche und personelle Diversität der Texte und ihrer Autor:innen auf.
LEO intermediary propagation as a feasible alternative to Brouwer's gravity solution

description: The performance of Brouwer's gravity solution is compared with Deprit's second-order radial intermediary. Taking the main problem of the artificial satellite as the test model, that is perturbations are limited to the effects of the second zonal harmonic, it is demonstrated that the intermediary solution provides an efficient alternative for the analytical propagation of low earth orbits in a range determined by non-impact orbits with eccentricities below one tenth.

Text Analysis of CARES Bot

description: Back in March 27th, the US government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in response to the ongoing pandemic. Unemployment benefits increased to $600 a week for four months and benefits were extended to furloughed workers and other kinds of workers who found it difficult to continue working during the pandemic. The CARES Act also provided a one-time $1200 stimulus check to all Americans and allowed people to receive an additional $500 for each child dependent they had. It also appears that the CARES Act was effective in alleviating poverty. Indeed, a study from a group of researchers at Columbia University found that the CARES Act prevented about 12 million people from going into poverty. To better understand what Americans thought about the CARES Act, Data For Progress, a liberal polling firm, surveyed registered voters in July and asked how the provisions in the CARES Act impacted their lives. If a respondent stated that they either received a $1200 stimulus check or went on unemployment at the start of the pandemic, they were then asked, "What was the effect of receiving this additional money had on you?" (NOTE: The question has since changed to "How has losing or going without more aid impacted you?" since the provisions in the CARES Act have not been renewed nor has Congress passed more aid for Americans since). Open-ended responses in surveys can give political scientists, pollsters, and others who study politics insight into what people are thinking, which can lead to formulating research questions on subjects such as voter behavior, polarization, etc. However, while typical survey questions such as asking a respondent - "On a scale from 1 - 10, do you approve of the Affordable Care Act" are readily easy to analyze as the data will come in a tabular format, extracting and analyzing text data can prove challenging. Moreover, while text data ostensibly carries useful insights, text data tends to be noisier than other forms of data. However, even with these challenges, text data can be extracted and analyzed. For this project, I scraped the Twitter feed of CARES Bot and performed basic text and sentiment analysis to try and understand how the CARES has effected these voters and what kinds of words different types of voters used to discuss the impact of the CARES Act.

Satellite tracking with NOT – Limitations and possibilities

description: Tracking of artificial objects in orbit around Earth (for example satellites and discarded rocket bodies), as well as characterisation of capabilities, ownership, and operational status is an integral part of space situational awareness. This activity is becoming increasingly important as space gets more congested, but it also has relevant implications in other areas, such as policy making, diplomacy, and defence. In this talk we will be presenting the results of efforts to test the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) for tracking and characterising satellites in different orbits. The aim was to assess NOT:s capabilities in the use-case and evaluate both its possibilities and present limitations. The results show that NOT can track objects with angular speeds of 120”/s or slower, approximately equivalent to objects in orbits 4200 km from the surface and above. This includes for example satellites in geosynchronous orbit and navigation constellations such as GPS and Galileo. We will also present results from characterisation of satellites using polarimetry and spectroscopy with the ALFOSC instrument, and direct lucky imaging with FASTCAM. We found that polarimetry alone is an efficient way to distinguish satellites

description: The current study aims to determine the values parents in Turkey try to teach their children. Parents from various cities (Ankara, Diyarbakır, Hakkâri, Hatay, Iğdır, İstanbul, Kastamonu, Kırşehir, Muğla) around Turkey were selected through maximum variation sampling, a purposive sampling method. The current study was conducted within the qualitative research methods. Results were obtained through content and descriptive analyses of data collected with open-ended question forms. Parents try to teach the value of honesty as the first priority within family. Other values that families try to teach their children are, respectively, giving importance to family unity, respect, responsibility, affection, industriousness, patriotism, care for health, and tolerance.

description: We calculate the quark self-energy at one-loop level at high temperature, taking into account contributions from both the (chromo)electric scale $gT$ and the (chromo)magnetic scale $g^2T$. While reproducing standard massive excitations due to the electric scale, we uncover a novel massless excitation ascribable to the magnetic scale. The residue of this massless excitation is nonpositive at all temperatures, which consequently gives rise to positivity violation in the quark spectral functions. This demonstrates the profound impact of confinement effects on thermal quark collective excitations, which manifest genuine long-range correlations in the system.
