description: Online adaptation to distribution shifts in satellite image segmentation stands as a crucial yet underexplored problem. In this paper, we address source-free and online domain adaptation, i.e., test-time adaptation (TTA), for satellite images, with the focus on mitigating distribution shifts caused by various forms of image degradation. Towards achieving this goal, we propose a novel TTA approach involving two effective strategies. First, we progressively estimate the global Batch Normalization (BN) statistics of the target distribution with incoming data stream. Leveraging these statistics during inference has the ability to effectively reduce domain gap. Furthermore, we enhance prediction quality by refining the predicted masks using global class centers. Both strategies employ dynamic momentum for fast and stable convergence. Notably, our method is backpropagation-free and hence fast and lightweight, making it highly suitable for on-the-fly adaptation to new domain. Through comprehensive experiments across various domain adaptation scenarios, we demonstrate the robust performance of our method.

description: Root reinforcement is a key factor when dealing with slope stability problems and is an important quantitative criterion for the evaluation of the protective function of forests against shallow landslides, as well as for the adoption of appropriate practices in protection forest management. Although many models have been developed to estimate root reinforcement, a reliable quantification that considers both its spatial and temporal variability still remains a challenge. This work aims to extend the understanding of the long term spatial and temporal dynamics of root reinforcement after forest harvest in subalpine spruce forests by supplying new experimental data and applying a state-of-the-art model. We estimated root reinforcement decay 5, 10 and 15 years after timber had been harvested in spruce stands in a small catchment in the Swiss Alps. We collected root distribution data at different distances from the trees and calibrated and validated a root distribution model (RootDis). To estimate root mechanical properties, we tested roots up to 12 mm diameter in the field, and computed root reinforcement for each case study with the Root Bundle Model. Finally, we developed a new model for the estimation of root reinforcement decay, based on the observed change in root distribution after felling and on the decay of the root pullout force. The final result is a model for the spatial-temporal prediction of root reinforcement heterogeneity and dynamics in subalpine spruce forest stands. Five year old harvested spruce forest in the climatic conditions of the study area provides 40% of the root reinforcement of live forest, while 15 years old harvested forest provides no reinforcement at all. Shrub species and natural regeneration could guarantee almost the 30% of the root reinforcement of a live forest after 15 years from cutting. Additional work is now required to further validate the model and implement these results in a slope stability analysis.

The new role of nurse practitioner in family practices in Switzerland
Creators: name: Schlunegger, Margarithe Charlotte
Year: 2022

description: Background: Due to rising numbers of chronic diseases, multimorbidity and increased shortage of health professionals, adaptation of primary health care is essential. New models of care, which focus on patient needs and thus ensure comprehensive care for chronically ill people, can be a way forward. The implementation of nurse practitioners in Swiss family practices is one such model, which holds great potential. Purpose: In this study, we investigated the contribution of nurse practitioners in the interprofessional context in two family practices in Switzerland. Methods: We conducted a multiple case study design. Two nurse practitioners working in Swiss family practices. The family practices were located in rural and mountainous regions. Qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were employed. For the within-case analyses, data were summarized inductively, thereby creating case narratives. Results: In both cases the nurse practitioners contribute to patient self-management, to prevention, and health promotion in complex, stable, and unstable patients. To date, these areas have not been adequately addressed by other health professionals in family practices. On home visits, nurse practitioners strengthen the connection between patients, relatives, the family practice, and home care services. They facilitate transparent communication and better coordination. As nurse practitioners gain experience, their self-confidence increases. Similarly, the confidence of the family doctors grows. Accordingly, the level of autonomy is changing and can grow during a working relationship. Nurse practitioners are not designated providers in the current Swiss health system. Therefore, legal bases and adequate reimbursement are lacking. Conclusion: The contribution of nurse practitioners in Swiss family practices seems important. However, competencies need to be clarified and a generic job description developed, to promote the implementation of nurse practitioners in Swiss family practices. Significance (Impact and Reach): This study provides first insights into the role implementation of nurse practitioners in Switzerland

description: Sound event localization and detection (SELD) is an important task in machine listening.
Major advancements rely on simulated data with sound events in specific rooms and strong spatio-temporal labels.
SELD data is simulated by convolving spatialy-localized room impulse responses (RIRs) with sound waveforms to place sound events in a soundscape.
However, RIRs require manual collection in specific rooms.
We present SpatialScaper, a library for SELD data simulation and augmentation.
Compared to existing tools, SpatialScaper emulates virtual rooms via parameters such as size and wall absorption.
This allows for parameterized placement (including movement) of foreground and background sound sources.
SpatialScaper also includes data augmentation pipelines that can be applied to existing SELD data. 
As a case study, we use SpatialSCaper to add rooms to the DCASE SELD data.
Training a model with our data led to progressive performance improves as a direct function of acoustic diversity.
These results show that SpatialScaper is valuable to train robust SELD models.

description: In this work, we demonstrate that highly oriented c-axis aluminium scandium nitride (AlScN) piezoelectric thin films can be deposited via microwave plasma-assisted reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering (MAR-HiPIMS), without the necessity of substrate heating. A combination of in situ plasma diagnostics, i.e. time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS), modified quartz crystal microbalance (m-QCM), and magnetic field measurements allowed to optimise the deposition conditions, in turn maximising the nitrogen supply and ionic flux at the substrate region, while maintaining stable discharge conditions. The AlScN thin films synthesised in this study were deposited as chemically gradient coatings with varying levels of scandium doping, and were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Obtaining highly textured films was made possible with the addition of microwave plasma to the optimised HiPIMS discharge, where the wurtzite AlScN films (with up to 20 at. % Sc) exhibited a stronger texture in the (0002) orientation compared to films prepared without microwave plasma. Additionally, the use of a microwave plasma led to a significant decrease in oxygen content in the films and increase in nitrogen content, ensuring stoichiometric compositions. Based on the results mentioned above, it is expected that the AlScN thin films fabricated via MAR-HiPIMS would exhibit a strong piezoelectric response.

Publisher: name: Tehran University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2015

description: Background: High intensity intermittent aerobic exercise is an elementary endurance training exercise to build soccer endurance. Many studies exist with professional soccer players. But limited research has been conducted with amateur soccer players. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare and assess the effects of the shuttle-run method and the Hoff-track method on the ability to recover in amateur soccer players within three weeks. Patients and Methods: Two amateur soccer teams were randomly assigned to shuttle-run group (n = 24; SRG) (SRG: shuttle-run group) or Hoff-track group (n = 18; HTG) (HTG: hoff-track group). They performed 2 times/week over three weeks their program. SRG performed a 20 m high speed shuttle-run until exhaustion and HTG covered at their highest speed level an obstacle track. Before and after training the yo-yo intermittent recovery test level 2 (YYIRTL2) was conducted. Results: Significant differences were observed within (P < 0.05) and between the groups (P = 0.06; ES = 0.50) in distance covering during YYIRTL2. Conclusions: Both training methods seem to improve the ability to recover in amateur soccer players within a short time period during the competition season.

description: The use of Mutual Information (MI) as a measure to evaluate the efficiency of cryptosystems has an extensive history. However, estimating MI between unknown random variables in a high-dimensional space is challenging. Recent advances in machine learning have enabled progress in estimating MI using neural networks. This work presents a novel application of MI estimation in the field of cryptography. We propose applying this methodology directly to estimate the MI between plaintext and ciphertext in a chosen plaintext attack. The leaked information, if any, from the encryption could potentially be exploited by adversaries to compromise the computational security of the cryptosystem.  We evaluate the efficiency of our approach by empirically analyzing multiple encryption schemes and baseline approaches. Furthermore, we extend the analysis to novel network coding-based cryptosystems that provide individual secrecy and study the relationship between information leakage and input distribution.

description: How is organizing accomplished in contexts that require coordination to be balanced with creative freedom? The paper addresses this question by building on literature that highlights the active role of objects in coordination and organizing processes as well as the recent turn to visual objects in organization studies. Using empirical data from a design process in artistic perfumery, the paper shows how independent actors and their sub-products are coordinated by means of a visual mood board that is able to maintain plurality while also having a directing and aligning effect. We discuss the potential of mood boards as an example of the wider phenomenon of aesthetic objects, connecting senses and emotion and providing a link across people in the creative industries and elsewhere.

description: The quadratic complexity of self-attention in Transformers has hindered the processing of long text. To alleviate this problem, previous works have proposed to sparsify the attention matrix, taking advantage of the observation that crucial information about a token can be derived from its neighbors. These methods typically combine one or another form of local attention and global attention. Such combinations introduce abrupt changes in contextual granularity when going from local to global, which may be undesirable. We believe that a smoother transition could potentially enhance model's ability to capture long-context dependencies. In this study, we introduce Fovea Transformer, a long-context focused transformer that addresses the challenges of capturing global dependencies while maintaining computational efficiency. To achieve this, we construct a multi-scale tree from the input sequence, and use representations of context tokens with a progressively coarser granularity in the tree, as their distance to the query token increases. We evaluate our model on three long-context summarization tasks\footnote{Our code is publicly available at: \textit{https://github.com/ZiweiHe/Fovea-Transformer}}. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on two of them, and competitive results on the third with mixed improvement and setback of the evaluation metrics.
Ductile adhesive interface for glulam

description: Brettschichtholz wird schon lange für grosse Tragwerke eingesetzt, gegenüber Stahl hat Holz aber den Nachteil, dass es nicht duktil ist und darum eine relativ spröde Versagensart hat. Dies macht eine höhere Sicherheitsmarge notwendig was einen finanziellen Nachteil für die Holzkonstruktionen mitbringt. Im Gegensatz zu Metall kann bei Holz, einem natürlichen und gewachsenen Rohstoff, die Duktilität des Materials nicht beeinflusst werden. Aus diesem Grund kann nur über Verbindungen Duktilität in die Konstruktion gebracht werden. Im EC5 wird dies auch berücksichtigt, dies jedoch nur bei den stiftförmigen Verbindungsmitteln. In der Literatur und in Hightech Branchen wird immer wieder von duktilen Klebstoffen berichtet. Dieser Ansatz kann auf eine Klebefuge übertragen werden und somit auch auf den Brettschichtholzbalken. An der Berner Fachhochschule wurde vor einem Jahr zusammen mit weiteren Forschungspartnern sowie Industriepartner ein Forschungsprojekt, mit dem Ziel gestartet, eine anfänglich steife, im Bruchbereich jedoch duktile Klebefuge für Brettschichtholz zu entwickeln. Das dreijährige Projekt ist in vier Phasen unterteilt: Die theoretischen Abklärungen, die Klebstoffentwicklung, Biegeversuche sowie Langzeituntersuchungen. Die theoretischen Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass eine duktile Klebefuge auf der Biegezugseite die Spannungsverteilung im Querschnitt günstig beeinflussen kann. Dadurch kann eine um bis zu 20% höhere Tragfähigkeit des konventionellen BSH - Einfeldbalkens erreicht werden. Beim Durchlaufbalken kann die Bildung eines „plastischen“ Gelenkes über die mittleren Auflager zur Schnittkraftumlagerung führen, was eine weitere Erhöhung der Traglast möglich macht. Die eingeführte Duktilität führt damit bei Berücksichtigung im Konstruktionsentwurf zu einer erhöhten Sicherheit.

description: This study investigated the selection and use of research methodologies at doctoral level, with particular emphasis on the use of statistical practices in research and with a focus on the Saudi Arabian context. There are misapplications in certain studies when analysing the statistical data, and some of these inaccuracies come from using improper management and suitable statistical methods at the analysis stage, contributing to misleading research conclusions. A key question was ‘How do academics and PhD students from Education departments in a selected university in Saudi Arabia and a university in Scotland/United Kingdom, from different educational backgrounds, view their readiness, selection, and utilization of statistical methods in PhD research?’. The accurate use of Statistics is critical in academic research, Statistics provide a methodical and objective approach to data analysis and interpretation, allowing researchers to make meaningful conclusions and uncover noteworthy patterns. Thus, a study acquires credibility and assures the validity of its findings by using accurate statistics, allowing policymakers and stakeholders to make educated decisions and perform targeted adjustments that enhance every aspect of society. 

This study examined PhD students' perceptions of their preparedness for statistical analysis, as well as their statistical and mathematical skills. Currently in Saudi Arabia, a programme of development: Vision 2030, is being implemented and so an aim of this study was to show why reforms are needed in Saudi Arabia's education system and why future university students should have sufficient Mathematical understanding to maintain the PhD researcher's basic knowledge base (Mathematics and Statistics). This was accomplished by sending a questionnaire to PhD students in SA and UK and conducting interviews with Statistics lecturers for postgraduate students in Saudi Arabia. The study found there is data analysis problems, such as inaccurate statistical technique application, a lack of pre-existing Mathematical expertise, wrong data processing, and incorrect result analysis. To increase the accuracy of statistical methods employed in PhD research, the study recommends that qualified statisticians, Statistics centres, and quality Mathematics and Statistics material be developed in the KSA. Furthermore, the research showed the significance of developing educational cadres in Statistics, developing the literacy pathway in schools in Mathematics, and making advanced Statistics courses necessary for postgraduate students in order to improve the quality and credibility of research undertaken, and the significance of students having a mathematical foundation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

description: We critically examine entrepreneurship as a solution to grand challenges from a mythic perspective. We argue that the prevailing discourse on entrepreneurship as a means of solving societal problems is based on mythical narratives that offer an incomplete and deceptive account of its capabilities. By focusing on what is excluded or negated, we unveil the myth of entrepreneurship as a solution to grand challenges. Using the concept of ‘structural injustice,’ we demonstrate how explicitly political, complex-sensitive, and holistic explanations of grand challenges are marginalized in entrepreneurship research. We identify three mechanisms, which we call ‘figures of thought,’ that perpetuate the myth while suppressing alternative explanations such as structural injustice. These figures of thought include ‘technical rationality,’ ‘extrapolation fallacy,’ and ‘positive acculturation.’ To demystify entrepreneurship research, we call for a reevaluation of its fundamental pillars, including the researchers themselves, the research methods used, and the language used when discussing entrepreneurship.

description: Although digitization is a buzzword in almost every election campaign, the political parties leave voters largely in the dark about their specific positions on digital issues. In the run-up to the 2019 elections in Switzerland, the ‘Digitization Monitor’ project (DMP) was launched in order to change this situation. Within the framework of the DMP, all 4,736 candidates were surveyed about their digital policy positions and values. The DMP is designed as a digital policy supplement to the existing ‘smartvote’ voting advice application. This enabled a direct comparison of the digital policy attitudes according to the DMP with the topics of the ‘smartvote’ questionnaire which are comprehensive in content but mainly related to conventional policy areas. This paper’s main research goal is to analyze and visualize possible differences between conventional and digital policy areas in terms of response patterns between and within political parties. The analysis is based on dimensionality reduction methods (multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis) for the visualization of inter-party differences, and on standard deviation as a measure of variation for the evaluation of intra-party unity. The results reveal that digital issues show a lower degree of inter-party polarization compared to conventional policy areas. Thus, the parties have more common ground in issues on digitization than in conventional policy areas. In contrast, the study reveals a mixed picture regarding intra-party unity. Homogeneous parties show a lower degree of unity in digitization issues whereas parties with heterogeneous positions in conventional areas have more united positions in digital areas. All things considered, the findings are encouraging as less polarized conditions apply to the debate on digital development compared to conventional politics. For the future, it would be desirable if in further countries similar projects to the DMP could emerge to broaden the basis for conclusions

description: Interventions on infrastructure networks in cities cause disruptions to the services provided by those but also to other networks that have to be at least partially shut down for the interventions executed. Due to these effects, there is substantial benefit to be obtained by grouping interventions on networks that are spatially close to one another. This benefit is principally due to reduced costs of intervention and reduced service disruption. In this paper, two intervention grouping methodologies to develop work programs for infrastructure networks are investigated. The first is based on static, the second is based on dynamic grouping. The two methodologies are investigated by developing work programs on multiple infrastructure networks in an urban area and compared against the same methodologies, albeit without coordination. In the example, interventions on the objects of five different infrastructure networks are grouped based on failure probability of the objects and their closeness. It is found that the dynamic grouping methodology results in work programs that result in a better consideration and prioritisation of objects that are in urgent need for an interventi, while accounting for the synergies that can be created due to efficient coordination. The advantages, disadvantages and future research directions are discussed.

Untersuchungen am Aufnahmeapparat für die Welte-Philharmonie-Orgelrollen

description: Das Museum für Musikautomaten Seewen besitzt seit 1991 ein Aufnahmegerät für Orgelrollen der Firma M. Welte & Söhne. Da das Aufnahmeverfahren von Welte weitestgehend unbekannt ist, kann eine Untersuchung der Funktionsweise dieses Gerätes Hinweise auf das Verfahren und seine Genauigkeit geben. Der Apparat hat einige interessante technische Details wie eine präzise arbeitende Spurhaltung des laufenden Papierbandes und einen Drehzahlmesser mit Skala zur laufenden Kontrolle der Papiergeschwindigkeit. Diese lässt sich mit einem Schiebewiderstand einstellen. Der Apparat ist für die Aufnahme von 150 Spuren eingestellt, wie sie auf den Welte-Philharmonie-Rollen vorhanden sind. Eine spätere Erweiterung wäre leicht möglich gewesen, denn die Vorrichtung besitzt schon 175 Rädchen. Untersuchungen zur Papiergeschwindigkeit haben ergeben, dass diese bei Aufnahme und Wiedergabe gleich war. Bei Betrachtung aller Faktoren kann man annehmen, dass Welte die gleiche Technik mit den Schreibröllchen für die Aufnahme von Klavierrollen benutzt hat. Aber es finden sich keine Hinweise, wie bei Welte die Aufnahme der Dynamik beim Klavierspiel funktioniert hat.

description: The aim of this secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional Swiss Nursing Homes Human Resources Project (SHURP) study was to describe the prevalence of residents' verbal, physical and sexual aggression toward care workers in Swiss nursing homes and to explore their association with context and care worker factors. The study's sample incorporated data from 155 randomly selected nursing homes, including 402 units. Among care workers (n = 3919), 66% reported experiencing verbal, 42% physical and 15% sexual aggression. Logistic regression analyses indicated that non-special care units and care workers' higher perception of staffing and resources adequacy and higher age were associated with a decreased likelihood of aggression, whereas emotional exhaustion was associated with an increased likelihood. Our results suggest an association of aggressive resident behavior with modifiable context and care worker factors. Knowledge about this may contribute to a continuous improvement process, enhancing residents' well-being alongside care workers' safety and satisfaction.

description: Stages of Change were assessed for three stage definitions and two modes of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) in a representative telephone survey in Switzerland (participation 55.8%; n = 1471). Two five-stage definitions focusing either on intention to change or current behavior were integrated into a seven-stage concept, taking into account both aspects. The two target behaviors were activities with at least moderate intensity and activities with vigorous intensity. According to the two five-stage definitions, at least half of the participants were either in precontemplation (focus on intention) or in preparation (focus on behavior). Upon classification into the seven stages these large stage groups were differentiated. There were differences in the pros for change between the new stages of the seven-stage concept. One in seven participants was regularly active according to the moderate criteria, but not using the vigorous criteria, and one in every eight participants reported the inverse. Results show that an individual can be in different Stages of Change depending on the stage definition and be regularly active or not depending on the target behavior. The practical implications of the seven-stage algorithm and a two-dimensional matrix to classify participants for both moderate and vigorous intensity activities in an Internet-based HEPA program are presented.

Co-creating knowledge in transdisciplinary art and climate science collaborations: Exploring epistemic justice in applied methods and procedures
Creators: name: Paschen, Johanna
Year: 2024

description: Transdisciplinary collaborations between art and climate science aim to co-create knowledge to strive for climate and ecological justice. This research explores developed and applied methods and procedures that promote epistemic justice between artists, climate scientists, societal actors, and the more-than-human to avoid marginalising knowledge and contribute to social justice. That means collaborations strive to co-create knowledge to increase climate and ecological justice, but the co-creation processes are not necessarily practised just and on eye level. Thus, the main research question concerns how to reach epistemic justice in terms of knowledge co-creation regarding the climate crisis between artists, climate scientists, society, and the more-than-human in art and climate science transdisciplinary collaborations through uncovering underlying assumptions and dynamics and investigating just, participatory, and pluralistic methodologies, practices, and processes. The research aims to answer this based on the three interdependent types of knowledge in transdisciplinary research. System knowledge describes the current state of the problem, followed by the target knowledge referring to the desired future scenario development based on values, norms, and system knowledge, and finally, transformation knowledge deals with initiating the actual change and how to turn system and target knowledge into practice (Buser & Schneider, 2021). Combining the concepts of ecological art, transdisciplinarity, and climate and ecological justice provides the research framework. Drawing on qualitative and transdisciplinary research methods by applying participatory interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, actor constellation, and storywall in the context of Switzerland, I will suggest emerging challenges, issues, and inspirations in transdisciplinary collaboration processes. The case studies will provide examples from which priorities of some practices over others through reflection can be observed, which can help conduct future art and climate science transdisciplinary research projects. Recognising present power dimensions in collaborations and inter- and intrapersonal dynamics is crucial in the context of art, ecology, the environment, and marginalised knowledge on a societal, political, and scientific level.
