Just Cause for Discharge and Its Relation to Unemployment Insurance
Creators: name: Wiener, Robert J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4407
subject: Policy and administration

description: The purpose of this study is, first, to examine cases of discharge for cause (that is, disciplinary discharges). The motive is to determine the justice or injustice of this exercise of managerial prerogative under particular circumstances. This should have general industrial applicability* The investigation has been given a special motive by the passage of forty-four state unemployment compensation laws. Since these acts attach a penalty to an employee who is otherwise eligible for benefits, but has allegedly been discharged for misconduct, it will become the duty of the state administrative agencies to determine in each contested case whether or not the claimant has been justly so accused. Because it was necessary to limit the scope of the investigation so that each aspect might properly be studied, the ultimate objective of providing a practical manual of principles with which to judge the justice of any discharge has been constantly kept in mind.The principles with which this study concludes are generalities also, but with a direct and practical relation to their field, of application. They have been derived from a study of selected individual cases which should simplify understanding, A further simplification, it is believed, is impractical.

description: We describe a laser-plasma platform for photon-photon collision experiments to measure fundamental quantum electrodynamic processes such as the linear Breit-Wheeler process with real photons. The platform has been developed using the Gemini laser facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. A laser wakefield accelerator and a bremsstrahlung convertor are used to generate a collimated beam of photons with energies of hundreds of MeV, that collide with keV x-ray photons generated by a laser heated plasma target. To detect the pairs generated by the photon-photon collisions, a magnetic transport system has been developed which directs the pairs onto scintillation-based and hybrid silicon pixel single particle detectors. We present commissioning results from an experimental campaign using this laser-plasma platform for photon-photon physics, demonstrating successful generation of both photon sources, characterisation of the magnetic transport system and calibration of the single particle detectors, and discuss the feasibility of this platform for the observation of the Breit-Wheeler process. The design of the platform will also serve as the basis for the investigation of strong-field quantum electrodynamic processes such as the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler and the Trident process, or eventually, photon-photon scattering.

description: Portugal é hoje uma sociedade multicultural e passou indubitavelmente de um país de emigrantes para um país de imigrantes.O seu número crescente levanta inevitavelmente a questão da qualidade de prestação de cuidados de saúde aos cidadãos estrangeiros.Atentos a esta realidade que se tem vindo a reflectir na casuística da Maternidade do Hospital de Santa Maria, estudámos prospectivamente os recém-nascidos filhos de mãe imigrante nascidos no nosso hospital num período de 6 meses com o objectivo de avaliar a qualidade da prestação de cuidados de saúde matemo-infantil. Constatou-se que o número de filhos de imigrantes corresponde actualmente a quase 10% dos recém-nascidos no hospital, verificando-se que a vigilância da gravidez nesta população é na sua generalidade adequada, usufruindo a grande maioria das mães de um subsistema de saúde. De realçar a importação de patologias infecciosas como infecção com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) e hepatite B. Em relação ao tipo de trabalho exercido pelos imigrantes em Portugal, este é semelhante ou com menor qualificação ao exercido nos países de origem. Parece verificar-se uma boa adaptação linguística. O seguimento posterior do RN está maioritariamente de acordo com as normas da Direcção-Geral de Saúde. Embora se trate de uma pequena amostra de uma população com múltiplos problemas, a prestação de cuidados de saúde materno-infantil foi adequada nas mães imigrantes que acorreram ao nosso hospital.

Das kann so weit gehen, dass sie andere Lebensbereiche vernachlässigen und trotz negativer Folgen ihr Verhalten nicht ändern. Möglicherweise sind hierbei besonders Menschen mit Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) gefährdet. Drei Hauptmerkmale von ADHS sind 1) Unaufmerksamkeit, 2) übermäßiger Bewegungsdrang oder innere Anspannung und 3) die Neigung zu unbedachtem Handeln. Diese Merkmale könnten dazu führen, dass es Menschen schwerer fällt, ihr Online-Verhalten einzuschränken. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Wie hängen die drei Hauptmerkmale von ADHS mit problematischer Internetnutzung zusammen? Drei Hauptmerkmale von ADHS sind Unaufmerksamkeit, übermäßiger Bewegungsdrang und die Neigung zu unbedachtem Handeln. Alle drei Merkmale hängen mit problematischer Internetnutzung zusammen. Wenn diese Merkmale stärker ausgeprägt sind, haben Menschen weniger Kontrolle über ihr Online-Verhalten und vernachlässigen andere Lebensbereiche.

description: O síndrome de apneia obstrutiva do sono lem sido largamente estudado nos aduftos mas nas crianças só mais recentemente é que tem sido alvo de investigação.
O síndrome de apneia obstrutiva do sono nas crianças é um distúrbio da respiração que ocorre durante o sono, caracterizado por uma obstrução parcial das vias aéreas prolongada e/ou uma obstrução total intermitente, que altera a ventilação e os padrões normais do sono. É uma patologia com uma prevalência significativa (2-3%) e que pode associar-se a complicações graves, tais como, atraso de crescimento, deficiência de aprendizagem, problemas comportamentais e alterações cardiovasculares.

A maioria dos casos é secundária à hipertrofia adenoamigdalina mas a etiologia pode ser muito diversa, nomeadamente obesidade, doenças neuromusculares e anomalias craniofaciais.

A polissonografia nocturna é o método de diagnóstico "gold standard" e pode ser realizado com sucesso em crianças de todas as idades, A sua interpretação baseia-se em critérios apropriados para a idade, os quais ainda constituem motivo de alguma discórdia.

O tratamento de primeira Unha é geralmente a amígdalo-adenoidectomia. Nos últimos anos, a ventilação por pressão positiva tem-se revelado uma aliemativa segura e eficiente em casos particulares. Outros meios de tratamento continuam em investigação, tais como outras abordagens cirúrgicas.

Na literatura publicada verifica-se facilmente que existem ainda muitas discrepâncias sobre os melhores métodos de diagnóstico, os valores normativos dos parâmetros cardio-respiratórios do sono em crianças e a abordagem terapêutica.

title: Journalists: Champions of Children's Rights?
Creators: name: Mikhailova, Nathalie
Year: 2017

description: Internationale Diskussionen über den Status von Kindern in den Medien, drehen sich zunehmend um die Rolle von Journalisten, in Bezug auf die Rechte des Kindes. Dazu gehören Diskussionen über den Schutz des Kindes in journalistischen Praktiken, sowie über die Förderung des Wohlbefindens von Kindern durch die Medien. Dies spiegelt sich wieder, in dem Anliegen, sowohl unter Akademikern wie auch unter Praktikern, in Bezug auf die Prävalenz bestimmter Trends bei der Darstellung von Kindern in den Nachrichtenmedien. Angesichts dieser Realitäten soll in dieser Arbeit festgelegt werden, inwieweit die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Medien und Menschenrechtsexperten wünschenswert ist, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Erleichterung der Umsetzung der Kinderrechte. Dies geschieht zunächst durch die Erörterung der jeweiligen internationalen Normen und Standards der Praxis. Die Praxis der Nachrichtenmedien wurde dann, mittels einer quantitativen Medieninhaltsanalyse der Presseberichterstattung über Kinderrechtsfragen, ausgewertet. Die in dieser Arbeit vorgelegten Daten weisen darauf hin, dass die Prävalenz des internationalen Kinderrechtsrahmens in einzelnen Presseartikeln eher gering ist. Um die Diskussion abzuschließen, fasst diese Arbeit dann die potenziellen Mittel zur Sicherstellung der Sichtbarkeit der Kinder und ihrer Rechte in den Nachrichtenmedien zusammen.
description: International debates about the status of children in the media increasingly revolve around the role of the journalist with respect to the rights of the child. This includes discussions on how to protect the child in journalistic practices, as well as how to promote the well-being of children through media output. Reflecting this reality is the growing concern among both academics and human rights professionals with respect to the prevalence of certain trends in the portrayal of children in the news media. In light of these realities, this thesis sets out to define wherein the desirability of collaboration between news media and human rights professionals lies, particularly in view of facilitating the implementation of children’s rights. This is done by first discussing the respective international norms and standards of practice. The practice of news media was then evaluated by means of a quantitative media content analysis of press coverage of children’s rights issues. The data presented in this paper then points to the fact that the prevalence of the international children’s rights framework in individual press items is rather minimal. To conclude the discussion, this thesis then summarises the potential means of ensuring the visibility of children and of their rights in the news media.

description: Fifteen years have elapsed since the national vocational education act, commonly known as the Smith-Hughes Act, was passed by Congress and signed by President Wilson on February 23, 1917. In the meantime, the enrollment to all types of Federally-aided schools or departments of vocational agriculture has grown from a total of 15,450, in 1918, to 236,328, in 1931. In the light of this growth, it is interesting to study the wording of certain sections of the Smith-Hughes Act and the published reports of the Congressional hearings on that national legislation, which deal specifically with agricultural education, for the purpose of comparing the ideas and philosophies on vocational education to agriculture held by the framers of this legislation with the trends to its development since that time and as it is known today. To one who has made such a study it is evident that the major purpose to the minds of Congress when certain appropriations for the salaries of teachers of agricultural subjects were made available to the States, was to stimulate them in promoting a very specific and long neglected type of education which has for its major objective the more adequate preparation of persons 14 years of age and over "who have entered upon or who are preparing to enter upon the work of the farm or of the farm home.".

Neutrino Tridents in the NOvA Near Detector
Creators: name: Bowles, Reed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: NOvA is a long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment that measures electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance using the NuMI beam and a near detector, both located at Fermilab, as well as a far detector, located in Ash River, Minnesota. The high flux of muon neutrinos at the near detector allows for measurement of rare processes such as neutrino trident scattering, a process in which a charged-lepton pair is produced via neutrino-nucleus scattering. This process is allowed by the Standard Model and may also have contributions from new physics. This poster will discuss current estimates of the event rates and detail a signal selection with emphasis on the secondary track in a pair of two muons. It will also show current progress on a track reconstruction method tailored for dimuon events with small opening angles, which is being developed in order to maximize selected events.

Diese Arbeit untersucht, in welchem Grad die italienische Gesetzgebung und Praxis der Einzelhaft den Standards der Vereinten Nationen und des Europarats entsprechen. Die Arbeit ist in sieben Kapitel aufgeteilt. Das erste Kapitel behandelt die bestehenden Definitionen der Einzelhaft, das zweite ist eine historische Darstellung der Entstehung der Praxis der Isolierung von Häftlingen, und das dritte gibt einen Überblick über die gegenwärtigen Verwendungen der Einzelhaft. Das vierte Kapitel ist eine Untersuchung der VN-Standards und umfasst den Menschenrechtsausschuss, den Ausschuss gegen Folter, den Unterausschuss für die Verhütung von Folter, den Sonderbeauftragten für die Verhütung von Folter, den Sonderbeauftragten für Folter und die Mandela Regeln. Das fünfte Kapitel untersucht die Instrumente des Europarats hinsichtlich der Verhältnisse in Gefängnissen und daher auch die Europäischen Gefängnisregeln und andere Empfehlungen des Ministerrats des Europarats, des Europäischen Menschengerichtshofs und des Europäischen Ausschusses für die Verhütung von Folter. Kapitel sechs untersucht die italienische Gesetzgebung und Praxis der Einzelhaft und vergleicht sie mit den obengenannten internationalen Standards. Kapitel sieben erklärt schließlich den Schaden, den Einzelhaft verursachen kann, auch wenn sie für kurze Zeiträume verwendet wird.
description: Solitary confinement is a practice used in all prison regimes around the world and Italy is no exception. This research compares the level of compliance of the Italian legislation and practice of solitary confinement to the standards of the United Nations and the Council of Europe. The research is divided into seven chapters. The first one states the existing definitions of solitary confinement, the second is a historical account of the birth of the practice of isolating inmates, and the third gives an overview of the current uses of solitary confinement. The fourth chapter is a review of the UN standards and includes the Human Rights Committee, the Committee against Torture, the Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture, the Special Rapporteur on Torture, and the Mandela Rules. The fifth chapter reviews the instruments of the Council of Europe with regard to prison conditions hence the European Prison Rules and other recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, the European Court on Human rights, and the European Committee on the prevention of torture. Chapter six reviews the Italian legislation and practice of solitary confinement and compares them to the aforementioned international standards. Finally, chapter seven gives an account of the harm that solitary confinement can do even when it is used for short periods of time.

description: We present the magneto-transport and the thermoelectric (Seebeck and Nernst coefficient) studies of the Nb-doped Bi2Se3 topological superconductor. The angle-dependent magnetoresistance study highlights the anisotropy in the upper critical field (Hc2) with the anisotropy parameter Gamma ~1.2. We observed a gradual decrease in low-temperature Hall resistivity on the application of magnetic field like any conventional superconductor, instead of the finite Hall resistivity which was linked to the chiral superconducting phase. The estimated value of the carrier concentration (~ 10^19 cm-3) for Nb0.2Bi2Se3 is one order larger than for Bi2Se3. Doping of Nb shows a significant decrease in the Seebeck coefficient value and the estimated Fermi temperature of the three-dimensional Fermi surface at the centre of Brillouin zone in the zero-temperature limit enhances by ~4 times in comparison to pristine Bi2Se3. We have observed a large value (~2.3 micro V K-1 T-1) of Nernst coefficient for Bi2Se3 at room temperature which decreases with Nb doping ( ~0.5 micro V K-1 T-1).

Obwohl der Anteil der Indigenen an Kanadas Bevölkerung geringer als vier Prozent ist, sind sie als Opfer von innerstaatlichem Menschenhandel überrepräsentiert. Das erhöhte Risiko, Opfer von Menschenhandel zu werden, ist nicht individuell bedingt, sondern das Ergebnis von Sexismus, kolonialen Stereotypen, sozioökonomischen Faktoren und insgesamt fehlendem Schutz durch den kanadischen Staat. Die Untersuchung des Menschenhandels dieser Gruppe bringt eine düstere Realität ans Licht – dieses Verbrechen bringt nicht eine, sondern mehrere Rechtsverletzungen mit sich. Eine historische Betrachtung sowie die Untersuchung der aktuellen Gegebenheiten zeigt, dass diese Gruppe sowohl sichtbarer als auch verborgener Unterdrückung ausgesetzt ist. Kanada hat mit der Übernahme internationaler Standards in Bezug auf Menschenhandel und der entsprechenden Anpassung des Strafgesetzbuches positive Maßnahmen gesetzt. Kanadas Engagement zeigt sich außerdem in dem Nationalen Aktionsplan zur Bekämpfung von Menschenhandel (2012-2016). Obwohl der Aktionsplan bestätigt, dass diese Gruppe besonders gefährdet ist, Opfer von Menschenhandel zu werden, fehlen die nötigen Maßnahmen zur Prävention. Bewusstseinsbildung ist ein wichtiger Schritt, um Diskussionen über ein verborgenes Verbrechen wie dieses anzuregen, aber, um das Leben von indigenen Frauen und Mädchen zu verbessern und die Risikofaktoren zu reduzieren, reicht dies nicht aus.
description: Indigenous women and girls are considered the most vulnerable group in Canada. Although Indigenous people living in Canada comprise of less than four per cent of the population, they are overrepresented in domestic trafficking. Their risk factors to trafficking are not of an individual cause, but that of sexism, colonial stereotypes, socio-economic factors, and overall, failure of protection from the Canadian state. Investigating trafficking of this group surfaces a grim reality – there is not one, but multiple violations surrounding this crime. Through a historical lens and examination of the current realities, this group faces both visible and hidden oppression. Canada has made positive efforts through acceding international standards on human trafficking and has aligned their Criminal Code accordingly. Further, Canada’s commitment can be seen in its National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking (2012-2016). Although the Action Plan acknowledges that this group is vulnerable to trafficking, the prevention strategies are lacking. Raising awareness is an important step in igniting discussions about a clandestine crime like this, however, to improve the lives of Indigenous women and girls and reduce their risk factors, it is not enough.
The Teutonic Knights in Latvia

description: Every great historical movement has been associated with collateral currents set up by the people who had found it advantageous to put the selfish proceedings of their own under the shelter of the leaning ideas of the time. Also the conquest of Latvia by the Teutonic Knights might be regarded as debased re-echo of the great crusading drama. It would be impossible to trace in the Teutonic action in Latvia that sense of religious duty and spirit of chivalry which were displayed by the Christian Knights in the long struggle with the Islam. It was German adventurers, not always free from a shadow of a criminal past, that came to Latvia looking there for fortune and easy life. Assisted by German monks and merchants and directed by the Holy See, they started the conquest of the country and reduced the native population to slavery. As it was advantageous to show this enterprise as being in harmony with the predominant spirit of the time, the knights called it "Convention of the pagans to Christianity."This general view held by the writer in regard to the nature end significance of the Teutonic rule in Latvia, has determined the scope and the direction of the present outline as well as the selection of facts important to the course of following events. The occurrences have been placed in a chronological order as far as they are concerned with the conquest of the country during the thirteenth century, for it was the sole period when the succession of events gradually led to some final result achieved by the Knights. The following centuries of the Teutonic rule presented no advance toward the formation of a political community, and therefore they are but of small interest to the political history. The unceasing civil war in which various Teutonic parties were busily engaged did not give that period a character of a linear development, but rather that of a circular movement. Owing to these circumstances, the Teutonic history during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries might be regarded as a complex of episodes of mutual warfare the only significance of which consisted in their final result, i.e. in the loss of the Teutonic independence. In our narrative we have quoted the typical episodes of that civil war and we have made an attempt to define its most important tendencies, supporting our generalizations by the facts and events which took place at that period.

description: ${}^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids realized in neutron stars are the largest topological quantum matters in our Universe. We establish the existence and stability of non-Abelian half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in ${}^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids with strong magnetic fields. Using a self-consistent microscopic approach, we find that a singly quantized vortex is energetically destabilized into a pair of two non-Abelian HQVs owing to the strongly spin-orbit-coupled pairing. We find a topologically protected Majorana fermion on each HQV, thereby providing two-fold non-Abelian anyons characterized by both Majorana fermions and a non-Abelian first homotopy group.

description: KLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel "Welche Gehirnbereiche sind gleichzeitig aktiv, wenn Menschen zusammenarbeiten?". Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Als testlesende Person war Anowi beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Menschen arbeiten oft zusammen. Das können Freunde sein, die gemeinsam eine Aufgabe lösen oder zusammen Musik machen. Daher ist es wichtig, die Grundlagen von Zusammenarbeit besser zu verstehen. Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, zu untersuchen, was in den Gehirnen von Menschen passiert, die zusammenarbeiten. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Welche Bereiche der Gehirne sind gleichzeitig aktiv, wenn Menschen zusammenarbeiten? Wenn Personen zusammenarbeiten, finden sich dafür auch biologische Grundlagen im Gehirn. Es sind dann vor allem folgende Gehirnbereiche bei den ihnen gleichzeitig aktiv: der präfrontale und der temporoparietale Cortex. Das sind Bereiche an der Stirnseite des Gehirns und zwischen den Schläfen und dem Scheitel.

description: Hypersonic flight regime is conventionally defined for Mach larger than 5; in these conditions, the flying object becomes enveloped in a plasma. This plasma is densest in thin surface layers, but in typical situations of interest it impacts electromagnetic wave propagation in an electrically large volume. We address this problem with a hybrid approach. We employ Equivalence Theorem to separate the inhomogeneous plasma region from the surrounding free space via an equivalent (Huygens) surface, and the Eikonal approximation to Maxwell equations in the large inhomogeneous region for obtaining equivalent currents on the separating surface. Then, we obtain the scattered field via (exact) free space radiation of these surface equivalent currents. The method is extensively tested against reference results and then applied to a real-life re-entry vehicle with full 3D plasma computed via Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations. We address both scattering (RCS) from the entire vehicle and radiation from the on-board antennas. From our results, significant radio link path losses can be associated with plasma spatial variations (gradients) and collisional losses, to an extent that matches well the usually perceived blackout in crossing layers in cutoff. Furthermore, we find good agreement with existing literature concerning significant alterations of the radar response (RCS) due to the plasma envelope.
