description: Am 12. April 2024 wurde das Gesetz über die Selbstbestimmung in Bezug auf den Geschlechtseintrag (SBGG) im Bundestag beschlossen. Trans*, intergeschlechtliche und nicht-binäre Personen können ab dem 1. November 2024 ohne entwürdigende Verfahren ihren Vornamen und Geschlechtseintrag beim Standesamt durch Eigenerklärung ändern. Zur Weiterverfolgbarkeit des Individuums nach Namensänderung war zwischenzeitlich eine automatisierte Datenweitergabe an Sicherheitsbehörden vorgesehen. Die entsprechende Vorschrift wurde in den Ausschussberatungen ersatzlos gestrichen. Zur Begründung dafür wurde die Vereinheitlichung mit dem sonstigen Namensrecht angeführt, nicht aber Datenschutzbedenken. Die ursprünglich in § 13 Abs. 5 SBGG-Regierungsentwurf (RegE) geplante Regelung könnte jedoch in einer geplanten Reform des Namensänderungsgesetzes erneut aufgegriffen werden, woraus sich berechtigte Sorgen bzgl. Überwachung, Datenschutz und Diskriminierung ergeben. Diesen kann mit einer auf Multi-Party Computation basierenden Lösung begegnet werden, welche eine datensparsame Handhabung ermöglicht. Dieser Beitrag betrachtet datensparsame behördliche Datenabgleiche zu Nachverfolgbarkeitszwecken am Beispiel des nunmehr verworfenen § 13 Abs. 5 SBGG-RegE aus interdisziplinär rechtlich-kryptographischer Sicht.
Locally finite near-fields
Creators: name: Groves, Susan Dancs
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1974
Subjects: subject: Algebraic fields

description: A near-field is locally finite if every finite subset of it generates a finite sub-near-field. The main aim of this thesis is to give a coherent account of locally finite-near-fields, including finite ones. The well known results for finite near-fields are lised and proofs are given where appropriate. The results of Zassenhaus classify finite regular near-fields according to their order, pln, and the order of centres, pl, and Luneburg has determined the number of isomorphism types within each class. A polynomial h is given here which, together with the triple p, l, n, completely determines a finite regular near-field, up to isomorphism. The sub-near-field structure is determined in terms of these invariants and some results concerning near-field embeddings are included.

description: In this paper, we present two related results on curves of genus 3. The first gives a bijection between the classes of the following objects: * Smooth non-hyperelliptic curves C of genus 3, with a choice of an element a in Jac(C)[2]-{0}, such that the cover C/|K_C+a|^* does not have an intermediate factor; up to isomorphism. * Plane curves E,Q in P^2 and an element in b' in Pic(E)[2]-{0}, where E,Q are of degrees 3,2, the curve E is smooth and Q,E intersect transversally ; up to projective transformations. We discuss the degenerations of this bijection, and give an interpretation of the bijection in terms of Abelian varieties. Next, we give an application of this correspondence: An EXPLICIT proof of the reconstructability of ANY smooth plane quartic from its bitangents.

The paper introduces the specialization of an arbitrary finitely generated R-module by the substitution of u to elements of k. This definition does not depend on the presentation of the given module and preserves basic properties and operations on modules (e.g. annihilator, dimension, Ext and Tor) for almost all specializations.

A microsimulation model of human fertility : theory and applications to the Yoruba of Western Nigeria

description: The thesis falls naturally into two parts, with the first being concerned with the construction and validation of a model and the second with the use of the model as an experimental tool. In the first part, comprising Chapters One to Four, an examination of historical and contemporary models of population growth led to the decision to study changes in fertility by means of a biological microsimulation model. This model was tested against Hutterite data after the reasons for using such a model had been discussed, and after the "best" input data had been selected and variations in these data tested on the model. The main emphasis of the second part of the thesis, comprising Chapters Five to Eight, was the testing of the effect on Yoruba fertility of variations in the duration of the post partum period of non-susceptibility to conception and in the level of infant and child mortality rates; further simulations were performed to discover the impact on fertility of the use of contraception to attain different family sizes both with and without the additional effect of infant and child mortality. The model was also used to test the efficiency of the Brass method of estimating childhood survivorship rates under different levels of fertility and mortality. Low fertility simulations were performed to assess the effect of different spacing strategies on ultimate family size. The simulations quantified our notions of the extent to which the Westernisation of the Yoruba is capable of producing an increase in average parity, one facet of this Westernisation being the widespread abandonment of long periods of post partum sexual abstinence without the compensatory adoption of efficient contraception. Declines in the infant mortality rate were also seen as an aspect of "modernisation" which has contributed to increased fertility, and suggestions were made for further simulations to test the magnitude of the increases which could be expected to occur through decreased levels of adult morbidity and mortality. As one would neither want morbidity and mortality rates to revert to former levels, nor be able to reinstate the post partum taboo to its previous level of importance, suggestions are presented for the institution of effective family planning programmes. Bearing in mind, also, the results of the low fertility simulations of the penultimate chapter, some indication is given of the desirable progression of the rationale for the use of contraception.

description: Restoring operation of critical infrastructure systems after catastrophic events is an important issue, inspiring work in multiple fields, including network science, civil engineering, and operations research. We consider the problem of finding the optimal order of repairing elements in power grids and similar infrastructure. Most existing methods either only consider system network structure, potentially ignoring important features, or incorporate component level details leading to complex optimization problems with limited scalability. We aim to narrow the gap between the two approaches. Analyzing realistic recovery strategies, we identify over- and undersupply penalties of commodities as primary contributions to reconstruction cost, and we demonstrate traditional network science methods, which maximize the largest connected component, are cost inefficient. We propose a novel competitive percolation recovery model accounting for node demand and supply, and network structure. Our model well approximates realistic recovery strategies, suppressing growth of the largest connected component through a process analogous to explosive percolation. Using synthetic power grids, we investigate the effect of network characteristics on recovery process efficiency. We learn that high structural redundancy enables reduced total cost and faster recovery, however, requires more information at each recovery step. We also confirm that decentralized supply in networks generally benefits recovery efforts.

SN 1993Y and SN 1993Z appear to be normal SN Ia events with similar rates of decline, but we do not have data near maximum brightness. The colors of SN 1994C suggest that it suffers from significant reddening or is intrinsically red. The light curves of SN 1994Y are complicated; they show a slow rise and gradual decline near maximum brightness in $VRI$ and numerous changes in the decline rates at later times. SN 1994Y also demonstrates color evolution similar to that of the SN IIn 1988Z, but it is slightly more luminous and declines more rapidly than SN 1988Z. The behavior of SN1994Y indicates a small ejecta mass and a gradual strengthening of the H$α$ emission relative to the continuum.

description: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease transmitted by species of Phlebotominae sand flies. CL is responsible for more than 1000 reported cases per year in Ecuador. Vector collection studies in Ecuador suggest that there is a strong association between the ecological diversity of an ecosystem, the presence of potential alternative or reservoir hosts and the abundance of sandfly species. Data collected from a coastal community in Ecuador showed that Leishmania parasites may be circulating in diverse hosts, including mammalian and potentially avian species, and these hosts may serve as potential hosts for the parasite. There has been limited reporting of CL cases in Ecuador because the disease is non-fatal and its surveillance system is passive. Hence, the actual incidence of the CL is unknown. In this study, an epidemic model was developed and analysed to understand the complexity of CL transmission dynamics with potential non-humans hosts in the coastal ecosystem and to estimate critical epidemiological quantities for Ecuador. The model is fitted to the 2010 CL outbreak in the town of Valle Hermoso in the Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas province of Ecuador and parameters such as CL transmission rates in different types of hosts (primary and alternative), and levels of case reporting in the town are estimated. The results suggest that the current surveillance in this region fails to capture 38% (with 95% CI (29%, 47%)) of the actual number of cases under the assumption that alternative hosts are dead-end hosts and that the mean CL reproduction number in the town is 3.9. This means that on the average 3.9 new human CL cases were generated by a single infectious human in the town during the initial period of the 2010 outbreak. Moreover, major outbreaks of CL in Ecuador in the coastal settings are unavoidable until reporting through the surveillance system is improved and alternative hosts are managed properly. The estimated infection transmission probabilities from alternative hosts to sand flies, and sand flies to alternative hosts are 27%, and 32%, respectively. The analysis highlights that vector control and alternative host management are two effective programs for Ecuador but need to be implemented concurrently to avoid future major outbreaks.

description: We develop a semi-analytic model of hierarchical galaxy formation with an improved treatment of the evolution of galaxies inside dark matter haloes. We take into account not only dynamical friction processes building up the central dominant galaxy, but also binary aggregations of satellite galaxies inside a common halo described using the kinetic Smoluchowski equation. The description of gas cooling, star formation and evolution, and Supernova feedback follows the standard prescriptions widely used in semi-analytic modelling. We find that binary aggregations are effective in depleting the number of small/intermediate mass galaxies over the redshift range 1-16. We compare our predicted luminosity functions with those obtained from deep multicolor surveys in the rest-frame B and UV bands for the redshift ranges 01 and even more at z ~ 3 by the effect of binary aggregations. The predictions from our dynamical model are discussed and compared with the effects of complementary processes which may conspire in affecting the shape of the luminosity function.

description: With an ever-increasing number of mobile devices competing for our attention, quantifying when, how often, or for how long users visually attend to their devices has emerged as a core challenge in mobile human-computer interaction. Encouraged by recent advances in automatic eye contact detection using machine learning and device-integrated cameras, we provide a fundamental investigation into the feasibility of quantifying visual attention during everyday mobile interactions. We identify core challenges and sources of errors associated with sensing attention on mobile devices in the wild, including the impact of face and eye visibility, the importance of robust head pose estimation, and the need for accurate gaze estimation. Based on this analysis, we propose future research directions and discuss how eye contact detection represents the foundation for exciting new applications towards next-generation pervasive attentive user interfaces.

description: In our rapidly evolving digital age, the documentation of cultural heritage has become its own rich and extensive field of study, with many technologies being developed to aid scientists and researchers in their pursuit of surveying and researching artifacts. This paper aims to give an overview of various 3D scanning technologies, namely photogrammetry, LIDAR, structured light, and computed tomography, which are actively being applied in the field. Through an extensive review of literature, it is attempted to determine the roles and applications of these methods in the documentation of cultural heritage for scientific study, preservation, and restoration purposes. It’s also attempted to
present advantages and limitations of using each of these technologies. The main goal of the paper is to identify the optimal applications of these methods within the realm of cultural heritage, and ultimately to provide the reader with sufficient knowledge to choose the right technology for their specific purposes.

description: We present results from observations of H110alpha recombination-line emission at 4.874 GHz and the related 4.8-GHz continuum emission towards the Carina Nebula using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. These data provide information on the velocity, morphology and excitation parameters of the ionized gas associated with the two bright HII regions within the nebula, Car I and Car II. They are consistent with both Car I and Car II being expanding ionization fronts arising from the massive star clusters Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16, respectively. The overall continuum emission distribution at 4.8 GHz is similar to that at lower frequencies. For Car I, two compact sources are revealed that are likely to be young HII regions associated with triggered star formation. These results provide the first evidence of ongoing star formation in the northern region of the nebula. A close association between Car I and the molecular gas is consistent with a scenario in which Car I is currently carving out a cavity within the northern molecular cloud. The complicated kinematics associated with Car II point to expansion from at least two different centres. All that is left of the molecular cloud in this region are clumps of dense gas and dust which are likely to be responsible for shaping the striking morphology of the Car II components.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preschoolers' cognitive abilities and their fairness-related allocation behaviors in a dilemma of equity-efficiency conflict. Four- to 6-year-olds in Experiment 1 (N = 99) decided how to allocate 5 reward bells. In the first-party condition, preschoolers were asked to choose among giving more to self (self-advantageous inequity), wasting one bell (equity) or giving more to other (self-disadvantageous inequity); while in the third-party condition, they chose to allocate the extra bell to one of two equally deserving recipients or to waste it. Results showed that compared to the pattern of decision in the third-party condition, preschoolers in the first-party condition were more likely to give the extra bell to other (self-disadvantaging behaviors), and age, inhibitory control (IC) and theory of mind (ToM) were positively correlated with their self-disadvantaging choices, but only IC mediated the relationship between age and self-disadvantaging behaviors. Experiment 2 (N = 41) showed that IC still predicted preschoolers' self-disadvantaging behaviors when they could choose only between equity and disadvantageous inequity. These results suggested that IC played a critical role in the implementation of self-disadvantaging behaviors when this required the control over selfishness and envy.

description: We introduce collinear drop jet substructure observables, which are unaffected by contributions from collinear radiation, and systematically probe soft radiation within jets. These observables can be designed to be either sensitive or insensitive to process-dependent soft radiation originating from outside the jet. Such collinear drop observables can be exploited as variables to distinguish quark, gluon, and color neutral initiated jets, for testing predictions for perturbative soft radiation in Monte Carlo simulations, for assessing models and universality for hadronization corrections, for examining the efficiency of pileup subtraction methods, and for any other application that leaves an imprint on soft radiation. We discuss examples of collinear drop observables that are based both on clustering and on jet shapes. Using the soft-collinear effective theory we derive factorization expressions for collinear drop observables from QCD jets, and carry out a resummation of logarithmically enhanced contributions at next-to-leading-logarithmic order. We also identify an infinite class of collinear drop observables for which the leading double logarithms are absent.

description: This thesis outlines the course of French immigration and settlement in Australia, concentrating on the years 1788-1947. It also briefly reviews the early explorations of the French navigators along the Australian coast (as witness the French place names) and the recent developments of the period 1947-1976. It uses various statistical and historical materials, both published and unpublished; the former reveal the patterns of immigration and settlement, the latter illustrate these patterns and bring to light both the reasons for the presence of the French in Australia and their contributions to its development. Although the immigration of French people into Australia has always been relatively small and their settlement scattered, their presence has been noticeable throughout the history of Australia, not only through the French culture and language but in such different areas as farming, winegrowing, science, technology and trade. The friendly relations which France and Australia entertained during the two World wars have also been important in maintaining the French presence in Australia. The immigration of the French into Australia has usually been one of individuals who came to this part of the world because they had some interest here (land, gold, wool, diffusion of French culture, etc.) and subsequently settled, as individuals rather than as members of ethnic settlements. This limited the number of ethnic communities and organizations, though a few did appear and survive. In spite of their small numbers and scattered settlement, however, the French in Australia have often successfully contributed to the development of many areas, as many were well-qualified and enterprising settlers. Because of their small numbers, but even more so because of their characteristics and patterns of immigration and settlement>the history of the French in Australia is very different from that of most other immigrant populations.

description: Recently Sahu et al., using the Hubble Space Telescope to monitor stars in the direction of the old globular cluster M22, detected six events in which otherwise constant stars brightened by ~50% during a time of <1 day. They tentatively interpret these unresolved events as due to microlensing of background bulge stars by free-floating planets in M22. I show that if these spike events are due to microlensing, the lensing objects are unlikely to be associated with M22, and unlikely to be part of a smoothly distributed Galactic population. Thus either there happens to be a massive, dark cluster of planets along our line-of-sight to M22, or the spike events are not due to microlensing. The lensing planets cannot be bound to stars in the core of M22: if they were closer than 8 AU, the lensing influence of the parent star would have been detectable. Moreover, in the core of M22, all planets with separations > 1 AU would have been ionized by random stellar encounters. Most unbound planets would have escaped the core via evaporation which preferentially affects such low-mass objects. Bound or free-floating planets can exist in the outer halo of M22; however, for reasonable assumptions, the maximum optical depth to such a population falls short of the observed optical depth, tau ~ 3x10^{-6}, by a factor of 5-10. Therefore, if real, these events represent the detection of a significant free-floating Galactic planet population. The optical depth to these planets is comparable to and mutually exclusive from the optical depth to resolved events measured by microlensing survey collaborations toward the bulge, and thus implies a similar additional mass of lensing objects. Such a population is difficult to reconcile with both theory and observations.

description: Kleine und mittlere Unternehmen können von KI-Technologien profitieren, indem sie ihre Effizienz und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit steigern. Retrieval-Augmented Generation-Systeme stellen dabei für KMU eine wertvolle Ressource dar, da sie dabei helfen, große Datenmengen systematisch auszuwerten und gezielt relevante Informationen zu extrahieren. Sie versprechen zudem Verbesserungen in der Informationsverarbeitung und zielen darauf ab, Herausforderungen wie niedrige Antwortqualität und Halluzinationen durch LLMs zu mildern, indem sie Dokumente dynamisch abrufen und diese zur Steuerung der Antworten großer Sprachmodelle nutzen. Jedoch gibt es Herausforderungen, die während der Implementierung auftreten können. In dieser Arbeit erörtern wir die Erkenntnisse, die wir durch Fallstudien gewonnen haben, und setzen sie in Bezug zum aktuellen Forschungsstand.

description: Digitization of Cultural Heritage is an exciting application area of many computing technologies. It opens possibilities to preserve cultural heritage in times of armed conflicts, natural hazards, and the climate crisis. Nevertheless, there are risks related to the digitization of cultural inheritance. Some are rooted in the fact that reduction and construction are inherent properties of computer science applications. In this paper, some of the issues as well as ethical concerns are presented. A set of activities related to software projects is proposed that help reduce risks in the digitization of cultural heritage.

description: Measurement of quantum systems inevitably involves disturbance in various forms. Within the limits imposed by quantum mechanics, however, one can design an "ideal" projective measurement that does not introduce a back action on the measured observable, known as a quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement. Here we demonstrate an all-electrical QND measurement of a single electron spin in a gate-defined quantum dot via an exchange-coupled ancilla qubit. The ancilla qubit, encoded in the singlet-triplet two-electron subspace, is entangled with the single spin and subsequently read out in a single shot projective measurement at a rate two orders of magnitude faster than the spin relaxation. The QND nature of the measurement protocol is evidenced by observing a monotonic increase of the readout fidelity over one hundred repetitive measurements against arbitrary input states. We extract information from the measurement record using the method of optimal inference, which is tolerant to the presence of the relaxation and dephasing. The QND measurement allows us to observe spontaneous spin flips (quantum jumps) in an isolated system with small disturbance. Combined with the high-fidelity control of spin qubits, these results pave the way for various measurement-based quantum state manipulations including quantum error correction protocols.

Confession in Dostoevskii : with special reference to Les Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau: three case studies
Creators: name: Howard, Barbara
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, 1821-1881
subject: Rousseau, Jean-Jacques, 1712-1778. Confessions

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to elucidate further the function of confession in Dostoevskii's mature writings. Confession is of central importance in many of Dostoevskii's works, both in the early and late periods of his career, and has therefore frequently been the subject of discussion by students and critics of Dostoevskii's works. While commentators have examined the thematic significance of confession in Dostoevskii's writings, the function of confession in his works has rarely been investigated in depth, or with a proper sense of its development and interaction with other elements in the narrative -- a neglect due in part, doubtless, to the complex nature of the subject; particularly, to the difficulties involved firstly, in defining confession precisely and secondly, in clearly distinguishing it from other related literary forms such as autobiography and first person narrative. This dissertation does not pretend to examine all aspects of this topic, for the subject is a broad one, whose limits are not easy to determine. It is hoped that it will throw light on those aspects of confession which, in Dostoevskii's view, have an affinity with Les Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Complex X-ray spectral variability in Mkn 421 observed with XMM-Newton

description: The bright blazar Mkn 421 has been observed four times for uninterrupted durations of ~ 9 - 13 hr during the performance verification and calibration phases of the XMM-Newton mission. The source was strongly variable in all epochs, with variability amplitudes that generally increased to higher energy bands. Although the detailed relationship between soft (0.1 - 0.75 keV) and hard (2 - 10 keV) band differed from one epoch to the next, in no case was there any evidence for a measurable interband lag, with robust upper limits of $| τ| < 0.08 $ hr in the best-correlated light curves. This is in conflict with previous claims of both hard and soft lags of ~1 hr in this and other blazars. However, previous observations suffered a repeated 1.6 hr feature induced by the low-Earth orbital period, a feature that is not present in the uninterrupted XMM-Newton data. The new upper limit on $|τ|$ leads to a lower limit on the magnetic field strength and Doppler factor of $ B δ^{1/3} \gs 4.7 $ G, mildly out of line with the predictions from a variety of homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton emission models in the literature of $ B δ^{1/3} = 0.2 - 0.8 $ G. Time-dependent spectral fitting was performed on all epochs, and no detectable spectral hysteresis was seen. We note however that the source exhibited significantly different spectral evolutionary behavior from one epoch to the next, with the strongest correlations in the first and last and an actual divergance between soft and hard X-ray bands in the third. This indicates that the range of spectral variability behavior in Mkn 421 is not fully described in these short snippets; significantly longer uninterrupted light curves are required, and can be obtained with XMM-Newton.

description: Use of supraglottic airways by emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians has increased for patients of all ages. However, data are limited on real-world use in the prehospital setting, including success rates, complications, and paramedic experience. The objective of this study was to determine frequency of successful i-gel® insertion and associated complications, and to describe paramedic perception of i-gel® use. This was a prospective study of i-gel® use in adult patients at four fire-based EMS Provider Agencies in Los Angeles (LA) County from June to September 2021. All paramedics received asynchronous and hands-on training prior to implementation. The i-gel® was indicated for adult patients in respiratory and/or cardiac arrest of any etiology, as directed by LA County protocols. Patients were included if a paramedic attempted i-gel® placement at any point. After transition of care, paramedics completed a web-based questionnaire and contacted an on-call EMS physician investigator to discuss the case. Further data were abstracted from the EMS electronic patient care record. The primary outcome was successful placement of i-gel® based on adequate ventilation post insertion confirmed with capnography. Secondary outcomes were frequency of complications and paramedic perceived ease of placement and of ventilation with i-gel® measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were reported. Of the 102 adult patients, 55 (54%) were female and the median age was 69 years (IQR 53–79). The majority 91 (89%) of the patients had a paramedic impression of non-traumatic cardiac arrest. Placement was successful in 90 (88%) patients overall with 85 (83%) i-gel® insertions successful on the first attempt. Complications included: 28 (28%) cases with regurgitation/emesis, bleeding (8, 8%), hypoxia (7, 7%), and dislodgement (5, 5%). Among cases of successful i-gel® placement, the majority of paramedics rated both ease of placement and ease of ventilation as “very easy” (69% and 78%, respectively) or “somewhat easy” (23% and 9%). Paramedics were successful in 88% of i-gel® insertion attempts with the most common complication being regurgitation/emesis. Paramedics rated the ease of placement and ease of ventilation of the i-gel® device as “very easy” or “somewhat easy” in the vast majority of cases.

description: Spear and spearthrower technology was once familiar to a wide range of hunter-gatherer societies (see Garrod, 1955; Kellar, 1955; Krause, 1902; von Luschan, 1896), yet, to the prehistorian the performance characteristics and the mechanical principles which governed the operation of this technology remain largely unknown. The aim of this thesis is therefore to provide an increased understanding of one of man's simplest and possibly oldest technologies, by defining these principles and relating them to the structural variation extant in Australian spears and spearthrowers.

description: Introduction: Learning is essential and life-long for faculty and students. Often students and teachers use ineffective learning strategies and are not aware of evidence-based strategies. Methods: A multicenter, international, cross-sectional, online survey-based assessment of awareness of evidence-based learning strategies among health professions students (n = 679) and faculty (n = 205). Results: Students endorsed many study habits which violate evidence-based principles, including studying whatever is due soonest (389/679, 57%), failing to return to course material once a course has ended (465/679, 68%), and re-reading underlined or highlighted notes (298.679, 44%). While the majority of faculty surveyed (125/157, 80%) reported recommending effective study strategies for their students, most students (558/679, 82%) said they did not study the way they do because of instruction from faculty. The majority of faculty (142/156, 91%) and students (347/661, 53%) believe students have different learning styles. Discussion: The results of this study demonstrate health professions students continue to use many ineffective study strategies, and both students and faculty hold misconceptions about evidence-based learning. While planning a curriculum, medical educators should focus on teaching students how to learn and use higher order thinking procedures in addition to teaching content.
