description: Background:
Concerning gaps in the HIV care continuum compromise individual and population health. We evaluated a combination intervention strategy (CIS) targeting prevalent barriers to timely linkage and sustained retention in HIV care in Mozambique.

Methods and findings:
In this cluster-randomized trial, 10 primary health facilities in the city of Maputo and Inhambane Province were randomly assigned to provide the CIS or the standard of care (SOC). The CIS included point-of-care CD4 testing at the time of diagnosis, accelerated ART initiation, and short message service (SMS) health messages and appointment reminders. A pre–post intervention 2-sample design was nested within the CIS arm to assess the effectiveness of CIS+, an enhanced version of the CIS that additionally included conditional non-cash financial incentives for linkage and retention. The primary outcome was a combined outcome of linkage to care within 1 month and retention at 12 months after diagnosis. From April 22, 2013, to June 30, 2015, we enrolled 2,004 out of 5,327 adults ≥18 years of age diagnosed with HIV in the voluntary counseling and testing clinics of participating health facilities: 744 (37%) in the CIS group, 493 (25%) in the CIS+ group, and 767 (38%) in the SOC group. Fifty-seven percent of the CIS group achieved the primary outcome versus 35% in the SOC group (relative risk [RR]CIS vs SOC = 1.58, 95% CI 1.05–2.39). Eighty-nine percent of the CIS group linked to care on the day of diagnosis versus 16% of the SOC group (RRCIS vs SOC = 9.13, 95% CI 1.65–50.40). There was no significant benefit of adding financial incentives to the CIS in terms of the combined outcome (55% of the CIS+ group achieved the primary outcome, RRCIS+ vs CIS = 0.96, 95% CI 0.81–1.16). Key limitations include the use of existing medical records to assess outcomes, the inability to isolate the effect of each component of the CIS, non-concurrent enrollment of the CIS+ group, and exclusion of many patients newly diagnosed with HIV.

Conclusions:
The CIS showed promise for making much needed gains in the HIV care continuum in our study, particularly in the critical first step of timely linkage to care following diagnosis.

description: The crossover region in the phase diagram of polymer solutions, in the regime above the overlap concentration, is explored by Brownian Dynamics simulations, to map out the universal crossover scaling functions for the gyration radius and the single-chain diffusion constant. Scaling considerations, our simulation results, and recently reported data on the polymer contribution to the viscosity obtained from rheological measurements on DNA systems, support the assumption that there are simple relations between these functions, such that they can be inferred from one another.

description: We introduce a reversible Markovian coagulation-fragmentation process on the set of partitions of $\{1,\ldots,L\}$ into disjoint intervals. Each interval can either split or merge with one of its two neighbors. The invariant measure can be seen as the Gibbs measure for a homogeneous pinning model \cite{cf:GBbook}. Depending on a parameter $λ$, the typical configuration can be either dominated by a single big interval (delocalized phase), or be composed of many intervals of order $1$ (localized phase), or the interval length can have a power law distribution (critical regime). In the three cases, the time required to approach equilibrium (in total variation) scales very differently with $L$. In the localized phase, when the initial condition is a single interval of size $L$, the equilibration mechanism is due to the propagation of two "fragmentation fronts" which start from the two boundaries and proceed by power-law jumps.
Testing the accuracy of radiative cooling approximations in SPH simulations

description: Hydrodynamical simulations of star formation have stimulated a need to develop fast and robust algorithms for evaluating radiative cooling. Here we undertake a critical evaluation of what is currently a popular method for prescribing cooling in SPH simulations, i.e. the polytropic cooling due originally to Stamatellos et al. This method uses the local density and potential to estimate the column density and optical depth to each particle and then uses these quantities to evaluate an approximate expression for the net radiative cooling. We evaluate the algorithm by considering both spherical and disc-like systems with analytic density and temperature structures. In spherical systems, the total cooling rate computed by the method is within around 20 for the astrophysically relevant case of opacity dominated by ice grains and is correct to within a factor of order unity for a range of opacity laws. In disc geometry, however, the method systematically under-estimates the cooling by a large factor at all heights in the disc. For the self-gravitating disc studied, we find that the method under-estimates the total cooling rate by a factor of 200. This discrepancy may be readily traced to the method's systematic over-estimate of the disc column density and optical depth, since (being based only on the local density and potential) it does not take into account the low column density route for photon escape normal to the disc plane. These results raise an obvious caution about the method's use in disc geometry whenever an accurate cooling rate is required, although we note that there are situations where the discrepancies highlighted above may not significantly affect the global outcome of simulations. Finally, we draw attention to our introduction of an analytic self-gravitating disc structure that may be of use in the calibration of future cooling algorithms.

Microgrids and Resilience to Climate-Driven Impacts on Public Health

Electric power distribution--Government policy

description: “Resilience” has burst into the lexicons of several policy areas in recent years, owing in no small part to climate change’s amplification of extreme events that severely disrupt the operation of natural, social, and engineered systems. Fostering resilience means anticipating severe disruptions and planning, investing, and designing so that such disruptions, which are certain to occur, are made shallower in depth and shorter in duration. Thus a resilient system or community can continue functioning despite disruptive events, return more swiftly to routine function following disruption, and incorporate new information so as to improve operations in extremis and speed future restorations.

As different policy communities apply the concept of resilience to their respective missions, they emphasize different objectives. This article examines how the definitions adopted by the public health and electricity communities can, but do not necessarily, converge in responses to electricity outages so severe that they affect the operation of critical infrastructure, such as wastewater treatment and drinking water facilities, hospitals, and cooling centers. Currently, such outages cause a form of handoff from utilities to their customers: grid power fails and a small constellation of backup generators maintained by atomized campuses, facilities, or individual structures switch on, or fail to switch on, or were never purchased and so leave the location dark and its equipment inoperative. This handoff is operational, but it reflects legal obligations—and their limits.

Enter the microgrid, a specially designed segment of the electricity distribution grid’s mesh that can either operate seamlessly as part of the wider grid, or as an independent “island” that serves some or all of the electricity users within its boundary even when the wider grid fails. Microgrids can, but do not necessarily, mitigate the adverse public health implications of the handoff that accompanies widespread and severe grid failure. To encourage the convergence of public health and electricity policy priorities in decisions about microgrid siting, design, and operation, this article makes several recommendations. Some of these should ideally be taken up at the federal level, but the bulk of the work they recommend should take place at the state-level, and would necessarily be implemented at the state and local levels.

description: The spectral radius ρ(G) of a digraph G is the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We present bounds on ρ(G) that are often tighter and are applicable to a larger class of digraphs than previously reported bounds. Calculating the final bound pair is particularly suited to sparse digraphs. For strongly connected digraphs, we derive equality conditions for the bounds, relating to the outdegree regularity of the digraph. We also prove that the bounds hold with equality only if ρ(G) is the r-th root of an integer, where r divides the index of imprimitivity of G.

description: Die Bruttostundenlöhne von abhängig Beschaftigten sind im Zeitraum 1995 bis 2022 trotz zuletzt hoher Inflation real um rund 15 Prozent gestiegen. Vor allem das unterste Lohndezil holte nach zwischenzeitlich starken Reallohnverlusten wieder gegenüber allen anderen Dezilen auf. Parallel dazu ging der Niedriglohnsektor seit 2007 um knapp fünf Prozentpunkte zuruck, in Ostdeutschland sogar um 14 Prozentpunkte. Im Jahr 2022 befanden sich 18,5 Prozent der abhängig Beschäftigten in Haupttatigkeit in diesem Lohnsegment. Die Haushaltsnettoeinkommen stiegen seit 1995 inflationsbereinigt um im Schnitt 35 Prozent. Beim Armutsrisiko deutet sich nach einer langen Phase des Anstiegs ein Trendbruch an. Unter Alleinerziehenden zeigt sich deutschlandweit seit 2010 ein Ruckgang um 4,3 Prozentpunkte, in Ostdeutschland sogar um knapp 15 Prozentpunkte. Will man das weiterhin hohe Armutsrisiko reduzieren, sollten Kinder und Jugendliche in den Blick genommen werden, da der Anteil der fruhen Schulabganger*innen zuletzt auf 13,1 Prozent gewachsen ist. Ohne qualifizierten Bildungsabschluss sind aber Armutskarrieren sehr wahrscheinlich. Gezielte Bildungsausgaben, die über höhere Steuern auf Vermögen finanziert werden konnten, sind auch aus diesem Grund dringend erforderlich.

description: There is a high level of interest in black hole-neutron star binaries, not only because their mergers may be detected by gravitational wave observatories in the coming years, but also because of the possibility that they could explain a class of short duration gamma-ray bursts. We study black hole-neutron star mergers that occur with high eccentricity as may arise from dynamical capture in dense stellar regions such as nuclear or globular clusters. We perform general relativistic simulations of binaries with a range of impact parameters, three different initial black hole spins (zero, aligned and anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum), and neutron stars with three different equations of state. We find a rich diversity across these parameters in the resulting gravitational wave signals and matter dynamics, which should also be reflected in the consequent electromagnetic emission. Before tidal disruption, the gravitational wave emission is significantly larger than perturbative predictions suggest for periapsis distances close to effective innermost stable separations, exhibiting features reflecting the zoom-whirl dynamics of the orbit there. Guided by the simulations, we develop a simple model for the change in orbital parameters of the binary during close encounters. Depending upon the initial parameters of the system, we find that mass transfer during non-merging close encounters can range from essentially zero to a sizable fraction of the initial neutron star mass. The same holds for the amount of material outside the black hole post-merger, and in some cases roughly half of this material is estimated to be unbound. We also see that non-merging close encounters generically excite large oscillations in the neutron star that are qualitatively consistent with f-modes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Jellyfish are a critical component of the pelagic zooplankton. A remarkable impact on zooplankton communities is expected related to an increased occurrence. Jellyfish utilize a complex mixture of bioactive substances for prey capture and defence. Little is known yet about the chemical composition of whole venoms and distinct molecular modes of action and effects in particular of northern scyphozoa. Cyanea capillata and Cyanea lamarckii and the Moon Jelly Aurelia aurita belong to the dominant scyphozoan species of northern coastal zones. A comprehensive toxicological and biochemical analysis of their highly effective bioactive substances includes a range of in vitro bioassays, multidimensional purification processes of the complex toxin mixtures and a chemical characterization in order to clarify structure – effect relationships and perform interspecies comparisons.

description: The five-point amplitude for the scattering of two distinct scalars with the emission of one graviton in the final state is calculated in exact kinematics for Einstein-Hilbert gravity. The result, which satisfies the Steinmann relations, is expressed in Sudakov variables, finding that it corresponds to the sum of two gauge invariant contributions written in terms of a new two scalar - two graviton effective vertex. A similar calculation is carried out in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for the scattering of two distinct quarks with one extra gluon in the final state. The effective vertices which appear in both cases are then evaluated in the multi-Regge limit reproducing the well-known result obtained by Lipatov where the Einstein-Hilbert graviton emission vertex can be written as the product of two QCD gluon emission vertices, up to corrections to preserve the Steinmann relations.

Evaluating the role of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides in hybrid poplar
Creators: name: Unda, Faride
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO) function as transport carbohydrates in the phloem, storage compounds in sink tissues, and as putative metabolic agents that combat plant stresses. Research on the RFO pathway has focused on seed biology and plants that transport raffinose as their primary photoassimilate. In contrast, few studies have explored this pathway in woody species. As such, this thesis investigated the fundamental function of the RFO enzymes in hybrid poplar, with emphasis on galactinol synthase (GolS), an enzyme key to the pathway. Phylogenetic comparisons of Populus Go1S with other known GolS suggest a putative role for these enzymes in stress response. Protein analysis of two heterologously expressed isoforms demonstrated that they are true Go1S; with Pa×gGolSI possessing a broader pH and temperature range than Pa×gGolSII. Expression patterns also revealed that the Pa×gGolSII transcript abundance varied seasonally. Together, the results suggest that Pa×gGolSI may be involved in basic metabolic activities, while Pa×gGolSII is likely involved in seasonal mobilization of carbohydrates. To further elucidate the in-planta Go1S function, transgenic trees with mis-regulated GolS were generated. Two AtGolS3 over-expression (OE) transgenic lines showed effects on growth, while other lines appeared normal and possessed marginally modified cell wall characteristics. The extreme over-expressers were severely stunted and had cell wall traits characteristic of tension wood. AtGolS3-OE lines showed reduction in the microfibril angle, increase in cell wall crystallinity and possessed higher cellulose, and lower mannose and lignin contents. Interestingly, although galactinol and raffinose contents increased dramatically, they were not more tolerant to abiotic stress under the conditions tested. These results suggest that the over-expression of GolS and its product galactinol may serve as a molecular signal that initiates different metabolic changes for combating stress, culminating in the formation of tension wood. Additionally, over expression of raffinose synthase (RFS) resulted in increased biomass and total cellulose content. However, it does not appear to have a similar signalling role. Collectively, this research opens new insight about functions of the RFO in poplar, with the participation of GolS in stress signalling and consequent tension wood formation, and the importance of RFS to carbon allocation and growth.

description: Die Ampel-Koalition hatte sich vorgenommen, die Energiewende deutlich zu beschleunigen. Auf Basis der Daten des Ampel-Monitors Energiewende des DIW Berlin werden in diesem Bericht die Entwicklungen wichtiger Schlüsseltechnologien analysiert und eine Bilanz der Energiewendepolitik gezogen. Die Ziele der Ampel waren nicht nur sehr viel ambitionierter als die der Vorgängerregierung; die seither geltenden Vorgaben stehen auch weitgehend im Einklang mit wissenschaftlichen Szenarien zur Klimaneutralität. Dies gilt sowohl für den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien als auch für die Elektrifizierung der Sektoren Wärme, Verkehr und Industrie. In den meisten Bereichen kam der Ausbau in den drei Jahren Ampel-Koalition deutlich schneller voran als in den vorangegangenen vier Jahren der Großen Koalition, insbesondere bei der Solarenergie. Dennoch ist bei allen Schlüsseltechnologien eine weitere Beschleunigung notwendig, um die Ziele für 2030 zu erreichen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Erzeugung von grünem Wasserstoff, aber in hohem Maße auch für die Elektromobilität und den Ausbau von Wärmepumpen. Neben den bereits heute sichtbaren Ausbauerfolgen hat die Ampel in vielen Bereichen die Voraussetzungen für ein künftig deutlich beschleunigtes Wachstum geschaffen. Darauf sollte die nächste Bundesregierung aufbauen und gleichzeitig die von der Ampel teilweise offen gelassenen Baustellen angehen, etwa bei der Systemintegration und der Speicherung erneuerbarer Energien. Ein abermaliges Ausbremsen der neu entfachten Dynamik bei der Energiewende sollte vermieden werden.

description: We present an accurate measurement and a quantitative analysis of electron-beam induced displacements of carbon atoms in single-layer graphene. We directly measure the atomic displacement ("knock-on") cross section by counting the lost atoms as a function of the electron beam energy and applied dose. Further, we separate knock-on damage (originating from the collision of the beam electrons with the nucleus of the target atom) from other radiation damage mechanisms (e.g. ionization damage or chemical etching) by the comparison of ordinary (12C) and heavy (13C) graphene. Our analysis shows that a static lattice approximation is not sufficient to describe knock-on damage in this material, while a very good agreement between calculated and experimental cross sections is obtained if lattice vibrations are taken into account.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The interest in RNA:DNA ratio as an index of growth rates and reproductive capacity of marine copepods has highly increased in the past recent years. Such an index would allow the simplification of the time and labour consuming measurements techniques presently used, perminting a more extensive sampling in the field. Moreover, recent studies have emphasised the extreme importance of food quality for the copepods reproductive success, in which fatty acids composition has a crutial role. This work is still in progress and aims to describe temporal and spatial patterns of copepod secondary productivity in three different marine systems off south Portuguese coast: the Guadiana river estuary and adjacent coastal waters, the Ria Formosa lagoon system (river input enrichment) and the coastal pelagic ecosystem off Cape S. Vicente, the latter strongly influenced by coastal upwelling events.

We find relatively large contributions from N3LO 3N forces. Our results provide constraints for neutron-rich matter in astrophysics with controlled theoretical uncertainties.

description: We initiate a systematic study of the state space of non-extremal, stationary black hole bound states in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity. Specifically, we show that an exponential multitude of classically stable "halo" bound states can be formed between large finite temperature D4-D0 black hole cores and much smaller, arbitrarily charged black holes at the same temperature. We map out in full the regions of existence for thermodynamically stable and metastable bound states in terms of the core's charges and temperature, as well as the region of stability of the core itself. Several features of these systems, such as a macroscopic configurational entropy and exponential relaxation timescales, are similar to those of the extended family of glasses. We draw parallels between the two with a view toward understanding complex systems in fundamental physics.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Understanding the movements of Patagonian toothfish is an essential component of their fisheries management. As only one demersal longline vessel participates in this fishery in Falkland’s waters, over a vast slope area, the use of conventional tags to provide data on migration and stock assessment is not viable. In contrast, archival pop-up tags have enabled the examination of toothfish movements without having to recapture tagged individuals with reasonability high success rates. A total of 16 toothfish >132cm LT were tagged between 19/09/2007 and 7/08/2009 on the northeastern part of the Falkland Islands’ slope and northern and eastern slopes of the Burdwood Bank. The data from 9 tags that successfully released and uploaded data contradicted a hypothesis concerning the extent of migrations between their spawning and feeding grounds. Instead, the data revealed strong site fidelity, with five toothfish moving less than 50km from their release position over a 6 month period. In addition four individuals were found to move 100km or more from the south of the Burdwood Bank to the north of the bank or out towards the Scotia Ridge and one individual moved 126km north-westwards on the feeding grounds. Furthermore, our data revealed that toothfish undertake vertical migrations with movements ranging between 8 – 584m over six hourly periods. During the Austral summer three fish moved into deeper waters and one of these returned to shallower waters during the following autumn. The results of these data have made it necessary for us to reexamine the spawning behaviour of toothfish in the south Atlantic

description: In the large N limit cold dense nuclear matter must be in a lattice phase. This applies also to holographic models of hadron physics. In a class of such models, like the generalized Sakai-Sugimoto model, baryons take the form of instantons of the effective flavor gauge theory that resides on probe flavor branes. In this paper we study the phase structure of baryonic crystals by analyzing discrete periodic configurations of such instantons. We find that instanton configurations exhibit a series of "popcorn" transitions upon increasing the density. Through these transitions normal (3D) lattices expand into the transverse dimension, eventually becoming a higher dimensional (4D) multi-layer lattice at large densities. We consider 3D lattices of zero size instantons as well as 1D periodic chains of finite size instantons, which serve as toy models of the full holographic systems. In particular, for the finite-size case we determine solutions of the corresponding ADHM equations for both a straight chain and for a 2D zigzag configuration where instantons pop up into the holographic dimension. At low density the system takes the form of an "abelian anti-ferromagnetic" straight periodic chain. Above a critical density there is a second order phase transition into a zigzag structure. An even higher density yields a rich phase space characterized by the formation of multi-layer zigzag structures. The finite size of the lattices in the transverse dimension is a signal of an emerging Fermi sea of quarks. We thus propose that the popcorn transitions indicate the onset of the "quarkyonic" phase of the cold dense nuclear matter.

description: Recent technological advancements have enabled generating and collecting huge amounts of data in a daily manner. This data is used for different purposes that may impact us on an unprecedented scale. Understanding the data, including detecting its outliers, is a critical step before utilizing it. Outlier detection has been studied well in the literature but the existing approaches fail to scale to these very large settings. In this paper, we propose DBSCOUT, an efficient exact algorithm for outlier detection with a linear complexity that can run in parallel over multiple independent machines, making it a fit for the settings with billions of tuples. Besides the theoretical analysis, our experiment results confirm orders of magnitude improvement over the existing work, proving the efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness of our approach.

description: Aktuelle Befragungsergebnisse zeigen, dass nur rund die Hälfte aller Erwachsenen in Deutschland einer pauschalen Ruckerstattung von 80 Prozent der Einnahmen aus der CO2-Bepreisung in Form eines Klimageldes zustimmen wurde. Sie belegen aber auch, dass ein angemessen hohes Klimageld selbst bei deutlich höheren CO2-Preisen zu einer höheren Akzeptanz fuhrt. Derzeit vertritt noch knapp die Hälfte der Befragten eine eher ambivalente, also leicht zustimmende oder leicht ablehnende Meinung zum Klimageld. Diejenigen, die eine Ruckerstattung von 80 Prozent der Einnahmen aus der zum Befragungszeitpunkt geltenden CO2-Bepreisung ablehnen, bekunden vor allem ihre generelle Ablehnung der CO2-Bepreisung. Als weiterer Grund wird die Skepsis hinsichtlich der klimapolitischen Wirksamkeit des betrachteten Klimagelds genannt. Der Grad der Zustimmung variiert zudem hinsichtlich einiger soziodemographischer Merkmale. In Anbetracht der absehbar steigenden CO2-Preise wird ein sozialer Ausgleich beispielsweise in Form eines Klimageldes notwendig sein. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, die vorhandenen Bedenken zur klimapolitischen Wirksamkeit und der gerechten Verteilung der Kosten zu adressieren. Hierzu müssen die Ausgestaltung und Wirksamkeit des Klimageldes besser erläutert werden.

description: Using a vehicle toy (in next future called vehicle) as a moving object an automatic road lighting system (ARLS) model is constructed. A digital video camera with 25 fps is used to capture the vehicle motion as it moves in the test segment of the road. Captured images are then processed to calculate vehicle speed. This information of the speed together with position of vehicle is then used to control the lighting system along the path that passes by the vehicle. Length of the road test segment is 1 m, the video camera is positioned about 1.1 m above the test segment, and the vehicle toy dimension is 13 cm \times 9.3 cm. In this model, the maximum speed that ARLS can handle is about 1.32 m/s, and the highest performance is obtained about 91% at speed 0.93 m/s.

At the hearth of the nation : the Woman’s Missionary Society and Victoria’s Chinese Rescue Home 1886-1923
Creators: name: Ikebuchi, Shelly Dee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The Chinese Rescue Home was an important feature of Victoria's (British Columbia, Canada) moral and racial landscape. It was envisioned by Methodist missionaries and later the Women's Methodist Missionary Society (WMS) to be a sanctuary for Chinese and Japanese women who were thought to be prostitutes or slave girls or who were believed to be at risk of falling into these roles. Despite its significance to British Columbian and Canadian history, there has yet to be a sustained and systematic study of the Home. Using a range of archival sources including WMS reports, newspapers, and legal cases, this dissertation offers an in-depth and empirical case study of the Chinese Rescue Home. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and drawing from theoretical and methodological developments in sociology, history, and geography, I use the concept of domesticity to examine the complex, contradictory, and contentious relationships between gender, race, and religion. While white women derived their own inclusion in the nation by policing the boundaries of race and reimagining the places of Chinese and Japanese women, they did so by including these women as part of the 'Christian family.' Therefore, this dissertation contributes to the Canadian literatures on Chinese and Japanese immigration by foregrounding the ways in which racial power operated through both inclusion and exclusion. Domesticity, here, was central to the shaping of not only the types of relationships that were permitted, but also the spaces in which they took place.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We present a method for simultaneously estimating movement and behaviour of marine animals from data from electronic data loggers. The method is an extension of the hidden Markov model geolocation technique and can, in theory, encompass infinitely many behaviour states. However, for models with more than two states, estimation becomes difficult, especially with smaller and noisier data sets. A typical two-state behaviour model would include a resident state which represents foraging, resting or spawning in a relatively confined area and a migratory state that represents fast and often directional persistent movement. The method gives the posterior probability distribution of positions and behaviour states at all time steps from which we can create informative marginal distributions by summing over time, space and/or behaviour state. These marginals can uncover how movement behaviour relates to certain locations and certain seasons. We can also pose a collection of nested, yet differently parameterised, models and conduct likelihood based model selection. In doing so we can test the statistical significance of a one-state model relative to a two-state model, or the significance of a two state model including advection terms, relative to one without. To illustrate the performance of the method we present results from a simulation study where the accuracy of the switching estimation, the movement estimation and model selection were analysed. We also present an analysis of PSAT data from southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in Australian waters that uses an observation model based on light (longitude) and sea surface temperature (latitude) data.

description: Gelingt es mit einer App Kinder zu motivieren, ein Programm zu erstellen, welches beim Lösen von mathematischen Aufgaben hilft? Ist der intrinsische Reiz stark genug, um die Kinder zu besseren Mathematikleistungen zu führen?
 Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich zunächst mit dem Einsatz der App in einer 5. Klasse. Das «Vorwissen» der SuS wird verwendet und nicht ein Game gespielt, sondern mit einer App – welches ein Game ist, mit dem man Games programmieren kann – ein Programm erstellt. Eine hohe Herausforderung mit einem ungewissen Ausgang.
 Das Augenmerk wird auf die Einführung der App gelegt und auf die Lösungen mathematischer Aufgaben. Grosse Freude und Motivation haben diese Schritte begleitet in einer Zeit, als Corona wieder in die zweite Welle startete.
 Die Auswertungen zeigen positive Resultate. Die SuS haben ihre soziale Kompetenz erhöht wie auch ihre mathematischen Leistungen. Trotzdem wurden sie nicht «spielsüchtiger» in dieser Zeit.
 Der Einsatz des Pocket Code Games muss gezielt und genau geplant werden. Zudem gilt es, einige Dinge zu verbessern oder anders anzugehen.
 Es zeigte sich, dass die Selbstbestimmungstheorie von Deci & Ryan im Unterricht eingesetzt werden kann und dass Gamification positive Wirkungen hat.
 Wie auch immer: Die Freude der SuS wird auf jeden Fall bleiben oder sogar noch stärker ausfallen.

description: Recently, the new strongly intensive measures of fluctuations $Δ$ and $Σ$ have been proposed. In this publication their properties are tested using an example of event-by-event transverse momentum fluctuations. The obtained values are compared to the long used $Φ$ measure of pT fluctuations. Several tests are preformed within data produced by fast generators, as well as by the UrQMD model. The UrQMD calculations are presented for the systems and energies which are planned to be studied in the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron.
