description: In einem wirtschaftlich und kulturell weiter zusammenwachsenden Europa stellt sich im Rechtsraum der Europäischen Union immer häufiger die Aufgabe, Parallelverfahren unter Beteiligung von Gerichten verschiedener Mitgliedstaaten zu koordinieren. Der folgende Beitrag stellt die Regelungen der EuGVVO zur Verfahrenskoordination dar und arbeitet die dahinterstehenden Prinzipien und rechtspolitischen Interessen heraus. Weiterhin unterzieht er die Einschränkungsbestrebungen bei der Anwendung dieser Regelungen, z.B. bezüglich der Torpedo-Problematik, einer kritischen Würdigung und analysiert in diesem Zusammenhang beispielhaft ein Urteil des EuGH. Zudem wird ein Ausblick auf die neue Fassung der EuGGVO gegeben, die am 10.1.2015 in Kraft getreten ist. As Europe is growing together both economically and culturally, the need to deal with parallel proceedings involving courts from different Member States is increasing in the European judicial area. The following article illustrates the provisions of the Brussels I Regulation for parallel proceedings and points out their leading principles. It also reviews the attempts to restrict their application (e.g. the issue of Italian Torpedoes) and analyses a decision of the ECJ concerning this subject. Moreover, there will be given an outlook for the recast of the Brussels I Regulation, which became effective on 10/1/2015.

Leisure as a Philosophical Act
Creators: name: Holba, Annette M.
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2015

description: Aristotle argued leisure was the first principle of all action; Thomas Hobbes suggested it was the mother of philosophy. Today leisure is more often associated with rest, relaxation, or idleness. These associations have contributed to a misunderstanding and lack of leisure. In our changing technological environment, leisure is overshadowed by a cult of speed where immediacy has replaced thoughtfulness and intentionality which poses communicative challenges to the human capacities of thinking, acting, and being. This essay suggests that reengaging leisure as a philosophical act, thus returning to its classical roots, provides recuperative possibilities for these challenges. Beginning with situating leisure as a philosophical act, then identifying the challenges that confront leisure, I demonstrate how leisure enables the necessary cultivation of thinking, acting, and being which provides recuperation of those human capacities even within our technological environment.

A Binary Scenario for the Formation of Strongly Magnetized White Dwarfs

description: Since their initial discovery, the origin of isolated white dwarfs (WDs) with magnetic fields in excess of $\sim$1 MG has remained a mystery. Recently, the formation of these high-field magnetic WDs has been observationally linked to strong binary interactions incurred during post-main-sequence evolution. Planetary, brown dwarf or stellar companions located within a few AU of main-sequence stars may become engulfed during the primary's expansion off the main sequence. Sufficiently low-mass companions in-spiral inside a common envelope until they are tidally shredded near the natal white dwarf. Formation of an accretion disk from the disrupted companion provides a source of turbulence and shear which act to amplify magnetic fields and transport them to the WD surface. We show that these disk-generated fields explain the observed range of magnetic field strengths for isolated, high-field magnetic WDs. Additionally, we discuss a high-mass binary analogue which generates a strongly-magnetized WD core inside a pre-collapse, massive star. Subsequent core-collapse to a neutron star may produce a magnetar.

description: This study addresses an image-matching problem in challenging cases, such as large scene variations or textureless scenes. To gain robustness to such situations, most previous studies have attempted to encode the global contexts of a scene via graph neural networks or transformers. However, these contexts do not explicitly represent high-level contextual information, such as structural shapes or semantic instances; therefore, the encoded features are still not sufficiently discriminative in challenging scenes. We propose a novel image-matching method that applies a topic-modeling strategy to encode high-level contexts in images. The proposed method trains latent semantic instances called topics. It explicitly models an image as a multinomial distribution of topics, and then performs probabilistic feature matching. This approach improves the robustness of matching by focusing on the same semantic areas between the images. In addition, the inferred topics provide interpretability for matching the results, making our method explainable. Extensive experiments on outdoor and indoor datasets show that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods, particularly in challenging cases. The code is available at https://github.com/TruongKhang/TopicFM.

From Playful Pleasure to Dystopian Control

description: In this new century of (post)modernity and technological progress, it is easy to think that leisure lives have become more meaningful and important. Leisure is claimed to be the space or activity in which we become human, find our Self, and find belonging. There is an enormous range of literature that makes the case for contemporary leisure as a form that allows for meaningful human agency and human development, whether through the discipline of physical activity or the virtual communities of the internet. In this paper, I will make the opposite case. I will concede that leisure has had an important role to play in human development (as a Habermasian communicative discourse and playful pleasure) - but using Marx, Gramsci and especially Habermas, I will argue that the lifeworld of contemporary leisure has been swamped by the systems of global capitalism and captured by the power of hegemonic elites.

Riparian Seedling Establishment Defined by Sediment Mobilization and Water Availability In a Gravel Bed River

description: Stream hydrograph and morphology are the main drivers of riparian white alder distribution. White alder seeds are preferentially deposited on stream bars where stream morphology and flow result in eddies. This thesis predicts the establishment success of riparian seedlings as a function of root growth during the “establishment period” delineated by the seed deposition date, and date of sediment mobilization. Seeds must be deposited during the final spring recession so they are not remobilized by the flow. Following germination, roots must not necessarily maintain a connection with the water table, but must grow deeper than the depth of scour during the following fall/winter. The length of the establishment period depends on the date of the last stream recession, and the date stream flow increases to mobilize sediment. This analysis shows few years where seedling establishment can occur because winter flows are rarely low enough to avoid stream scouring.

description: Learned video compression has recently emerged as an essential research topic in developing advanced video compression technologies, where motion compensation is considered one of the most challenging issues. In this paper, we propose a learned video compression framework via heterogeneous deformable compensation strategy (HDCVC) to tackle the problems of unstable compression performance caused by single-size deformable kernels in downsampled feature domain. More specifically, instead of utilizing optical flow warping or single-size-kernel deformable alignment, the proposed algorithm extracts features from the two adjacent frames to estimate content-adaptive heterogeneous deformable (HetDeform) kernel offsets. Then we transform the reference features with the HetDeform convolution to accomplish motion compensation. Moreover, we design a Spatial-Neighborhood-Conditioned Divisive Normalization (SNCDN) to achieve more effective data Gaussianization combined with the Generalized Divisive Normalization. Furthermore, we propose a multi-frame enhanced reconstruction module for exploiting context and temporal information for final quality enhancement. Experimental results indicate that HDCVC achieves superior performance than the recent state-of-the-art learned video compression approaches.
Traffic Analysis of Two Scientific Web Sites

description: This thesis presents a workload characterization study of two scientific Web sites at the University of Calgary based on a four-month period of observation (from January 1, 2015 to April 30, 2015). The Aurora site is a scientific site for auroral researchers, providing auroral images collected from remote cameras deployed in northern Canada. The ISM site is a scientific site providing lecture materials to about 400 undergraduate students in the ASTR 209 course. Three main observations emerge from our workload characterization study. First, scientific Web sites can generate extremely large volumes of Internet traffic, even when the user community is seemingly small. Second, robot traffic and real-world events can have surprisingly large impacts on network traffic. Third, a large fraction of the observed network traffic is highly redundant, and can be reduced significantly with more efficient networking solutions.
Northrop Frye on Leisure as Activity
Creators: name: Graham, Brian Russell
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2015

description: This article argues that Frye’s theory of leisure as an activity (distinct from the leisure industry) represents an example of meliorist thought in relation to culture. Clarifying this view involves contrasting this conclusion about Frye with the Bourdieuian perspective, which makes up the content of the second main section. Before turning to social class, this article considers Frye’s discussion of leisure and boredom, and his overall view of the values, activities, historic struggles and class association of three sectors: industry, politics and leisure.

Es comprova que la televisió pública catalana només dedica el 14,39 % del temps del bloc d’esports a les competicions femenines. La recerca també incideix en el fet que el futbol és el gran protagonista de la secció esportiva, tant femenina com masculina.

Constructions of the 'feminine': the interweaving of myth and history in exemplary religious narratives
Creators: name: Gallant, Sarah Marie
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2007

description: Bibliography: p. 99-104
description: This thesis will be an investigation of the relationship between myth and history as it figures in religion in the construction of "feminine" types. While myth and history have been considered separate entities in much contemporary theory and scholarship, this thesis will show that this perceived separation is a relatively modern distinction and that in religion an overlap has often occurred. Such an "intertwining" of myth and history has been an integral part of hagiography and other attempts to provide exemplars or models of ideal types. Two instances of such intertwining are examined: the hagiographical text of Mary of Egypt and the Goddess as she has been presented and constructed by Carol P. Christ. This study demonstrates that in the creation and presentation of such "feminine" figures an imaginative process is employed. This imaginative process draws on elements from both history and myth in order to present a purposefully constructed figure. The work of Paul Ricoeur will be examined in order to help establish the basis of this appeal to imagination and the proposal is made that Ricoeur's hermeneutics of suspicion provides a means of understanding such an imaginative process as well as the extremes that can occur when engaged in this imaginative process.

description: Mechanical feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is thought to be the dominant feedback mechanism quenching cooling flows and star formation in galaxy cluster cores. However, the mechanisms by which AGN couple to the intracluster medium (ICM) are not well understood. The nature of pressure supporting the cavities is not known. Using the MUSTANG-2 instrument on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), we aimed to measure thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect signals associated with the X-ray cavities in MS0735.6+7421, a moderate mass cluster hosting one of the most energetic AGN outbursts known. We use these measurements to infer the level of non-thermal sources of pressure, such as magnetic fields and turbulence, as well as relativistic and cosmic ray components, supporting the cavities. We used preconditioned gradient descent to fit a model for the cluster, cavities, and central point source directly to the time ordered data of the MUSTANG-2 signal. We use this model to probe the thermodynamic state of the cavities. We have shown that the SZ signal associated with the cavities is suppressed compared to the expectations for a thermal plasma with the temperature $\sim$few tens keV. The smallest value of the suppression factor $f$ that is consistent with the data is $\sim$0.4, lower than inferred in earlier work. Larger values of $f$ are possible once the contribution of the cocoon shock surrounding the bubbles is taken into account. The baseline model with this particular geometrical setup yields best-fitting value f~0.5, which at face value implies a mix of thermal and non-thermal pressure support. Larger values of $f$ (up to 1, i.e. no tSZ signal from the bubbles) are still possible when allowing for variations in the line-of-sight geometry.

A population of main belt asteroids co-orbiting with Ceres and Vesta

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We have carried out a search for Main Belt Asteroids (MBAs) co-orbiting with the large MBA Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. Through improving the search criteria used in (Christou, 2000b) and numerical integrations of candidate coorbitals, we have identified approximately 51 (44) objects currently in co-orbital libration with Ceres (Vesta). We show that these form part of a larger population of transient coorbitals; 129 (94) MBAs undergo episodes of co-orbital libration with Ceres (Vesta) within a 2 Myr interval centred on the present. The lifetime in the resonance is typically a few times 10^5 yr butcan exceed 2*10^6 yr. The variational properties of the orbits of several co-orbitals were examined. It was found that their present states with respect to the secondary are well determined but knowledge of it is lost typically after ~2*10^5 years. Objects initially deeper into the coorbital region maintain their coorbital state for longer. Using the model of Namouni et al. (1999) we show that their dynamics are similar to those of temporary coorbital NEAs of the Earth and Venus. As in that case, the lifetime of resonant libration is dictated by planetary secular perturbations, the inherent chaoticity of the orbits and close encounters with massive objects other than the secondary. In particular we present evidence that, while in the coorbital state, close encounters with the secondary are generally avoided and that Ceres affects the stability of tadpole librators of Vesta. Finally we demonstrate the existence of Quasi-satellite orbiters of both Ceres and Vesta and conclude that decametre-sized objects detected in the vicinity of Vesta by the DAWN mission may, in fact, belong to this dynamical class rather than be bona-fide (i.e. keplerian) satellites of Vesta.

description: The intense interest in triplet superconductivity partly stems from theoretical predictions of exotic excitations such as non-abelian Majorana modes, chiral supercurrents, and half-quantum vortices. However, fundamentally new, and unexpected states may emerge when triplet superconductivity appears in a strongly correlated system. In this work we use scanning tunneling microscopy to reveal an unusual charge density wave (CDW) order in the heavy fermion triplet superconductor, UTe2. Our high-resolution maps reveal a multi-component incommensurate CDW whose intensity get weaker with increasing field, eventually disappearing at the superconducting critical field, Hc2. To explain the origin and phenomenology of this unusual CDW, we construct a Ginzburg-Landau theory for a uniform triplet superconductor coexisting with three triplet pair density wave (PDW) states. This theory gives rise to daughter CDWs which would be sensitive to magnetic field due to their origin in a triplet PDW state, and naturally explains our data. Our discovery of a CDW sensitive to magnetic fields and strongly intertwined with superconductivity, provides important new information for understanding the order parameter of UTe2 and uncovers the possible existence of a new kind of triplet PDW order which has not been previously explored.

description: I explored variation in maternal investment strategies. I investigated whether infant sex, food availability, female feeding competition or infanticide risk influenced lactation length, the context of nursing cessation and the extent to which mothers can simultaneously gestate and lactate in a wild colobine. I combined long-term records and new observations of Colobus vellerosus. I extracted 40 nursing cessations, 13 exact lactation lengths, and 26 durations between nursing cessation and subsequent births. The independent variables did not influence lactation length, and nursing cessation did not differ by infant sex or cluster with food availability. Lactation length, maternal age, infant sex, infanticide risk, feeding competition, and potential infant handlers available did not influence the duration length to the next birth. This study eliminated some potential variables that may have explained nursing cessation and lactation length variation in our species, although it is evident that other underlying factor(s) are causing the variation.

description: Detection Transformers represent end-to-end object detection approaches based on a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture, exploiting the attention mechanism for global relation modeling. Although Detection Transformers deliver results on par with or even superior to their highly optimized CNN-based counterparts operating on 2D natural images, their success is closely coupled to access to a vast amount of training data. This, however, restricts the feasibility of employing Detection Transformers in the medical domain, as access to annotated data is typically limited. To tackle this issue and facilitate the advent of medical Detection Transformers, we propose a novel Detection Transformer for 3D anatomical structure detection, dubbed Focused Decoder. Focused Decoder leverages information from an anatomical region atlas to simultaneously deploy query anchors and restrict the cross-attention's field of view to regions of interest, which allows for a precise focus on relevant anatomical structures. We evaluate our proposed approach on two publicly available CT datasets and demonstrate that Focused Decoder not only provides strong detection results and thus alleviates the need for a vast amount of annotated data but also exhibits exceptional and highly intuitive explainability of results via attention weights. Our code is available at https://github.com/bwittmann/transoar.

description: We extend quantum field theory by including purely virtual "cloud" sectors, to define physical off-shell correlation functions of gauge invariant quark and gluon fields, without affecting the $S$ matrix amplitudes. The extension is made of certain cloud bosons, plus their anticommuting partners. Both are quantized as purely virtual, to ensure that they do not propagate ghosts. The extended theory is renormalizable and unitary. In particular, the off-shell, diagrammatic version of the optical theorem holds. We calculate the one-loop two-point functions of dressed quarks and gluons, and show that their absorptive parts are gauge independent, cloud independent and positive (while they are generically unphysical if the cloud sectors are not purely virtual). A gauge/cloud duality simplifies the computations and shows that the gauge choice is just a particular cloud. It is possible to dress every field insertion with a different cloud. We compare the purely virtual extension to previous approaches to similar problems.

Tant la docència com la recerca han estat travessades per les lògiques de la competència, de la rendibilitat i la seva comptabilitat. Els plans d’estudis s’han reduït i fragmentat, i el que és fonamental es dissol en el que és nou. Al mateix temps, a la docència hi preval el com, per damunt del què. Aquestes tendències són visibles especialment en els graus professionalistes, com és el cas de Periodisme, que, a més, pot caure amb facilitat en el tecnocentrisme.

description: There is accumulating evidence of sex differences in multiple sclerosis, making hormones a possible research avenue for therapeutic agents. Oral contraceptives are a source of synthetic hormones, however, it is unclear whether hormone-based therapies help, hinder, or have no effect on the disease in women. In an attempt to elucidate the role of sex hormones, we are currently conducting an observational study of oral contraceptives in optic neuritis, a condition that often occurs in parallel with multiple sclerosis. The thesis describes the study rational and supporting evidence for the hypothesis that oral contraceptive use in our study population will be associated with beneficial outcomes. I also share experiences with study implementation and preliminary data. The final section of the thesis offers insight for researchers on the areas of optical coherence tomography, hormones, and human research.

description: In an open Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space background, we study the classical and quantum cosmological models in the framework of the recently proposed nonlinear massive gravity theory. Although the constraints which are present in this theory prevent it from admitting the flat and closed FRW models as its cosmological solutions, for the open FRW universe, it is not the case. We have shown that, either in the absence of matter or in the presence of a perfect fluid, the classical field equations of such a theory adopt physical solutions for the open FRW model, in which the mass term shows itself as a cosmological constant. These classical solutions consist of two distinguishable branches: One is a contacting universe which tends to a future singularity with zero size, while another is an expanding universe having a past singularity from which it begins its evolution. A classically forbidden region separates these two branches from each other. We then employ the familiar canonical quantization procedure in the given cosmological setting to find the cosmological wave functions. We use the resulting wave function to investigate the possibility of the avoidance of classical singularities due to quantum effects. It is shown that the quantum expectation values of the scale factor, although they have either contracting or expanding phases like their classical counterparts, are not disconnected from each other. Indeed, the classically forbidden region may be replaced by a bouncing period in which the scale factor bounces from the contraction to its expansion eras. Using the Bohmian approach of quantum mechanics, we also compute the Bohmian trajectory and the quantum potential related to the system, which their analysis shows are the direct effects of the mass term on the dynamics of the universe.

description: La digitalització ha provocat canvis en les estratègies de recerca de feina per part dels joves, cada cop més dependents dels portals especialitzats a internet. Per als graduats en Comunicació, disposar de competències digitals és, a més, un requisit per aconseguir una feina en aquest sector professional. En aquest treball s’estudia l’impacte de la digitalització en els graduats en Comunicació en els dos vessants de l’accés al mercat laboral. Amb aquest doble propòsit, es va fer una enquesta a titulats recents (N=198) per conèixer les seves estratègies en la recerca de feina, i entrevistes a professionals del sector de la comunicació (N=11) per identificar les competències i habilitats que les empreses exigeixen als joves graduats. Els resultats indiquen que els contactes personals encara són la via principal per obtenir un lloc de treball, i que les empreses del sector demanen als nous graduats competències tècniques/ tecnològiques que sembla que la formació universitària no està atenent prou.

description: Photoluminescence and polarized reflection spectra of quantum well structures with symmetric Cd$_{0.9}$Zn$_{0.1}$Te/CdTe/Cd$_{0.9}$Zn$_{0.1}$Te and asymmetric Cd$_{0.9}$Zn$_{0.1}$Te/CdTe/Cd$_{0.4}$Mg$_{0.6}$Te barriers were studied. The Stokes parameters of the reflected light from these structures were measured. In the structures with symmetric barriers, exciton resonances were found in the reflection spectra and were not present in the photoluminescence spectra. In structures with asymmetric barriers, in the region of exciton resonances, the phenomenon of light birefringence was detected, caused by a lower symmetry of the interfaces compared to the symmetry of bulk crystals. A discussion of both phenomena was given.

description: The current study examined the social cognition of young adults with “high functioning” autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) following the completion of a manualized social skills intervention. The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills for Young Adults (PEERS-YA; Laugeson & Frankel, 2015) is a 16-week parent/caregiver-supported, evidence-based, out-patient clinical group intervention designed to help young adults with HFASD develop and maintain lasting friendships. Young adult participants and their parent/caregiver completed formal psychological measures of social skills and social cognition (emotional intelligence and theory of mind) at four time intervals: 1) baseline (3 months before the intervention), 2) pre-test (immediately before the intervention), 3) post-test (one week after the intervention), and 4) follow-up (3 months post-intervention). The results indicate significant improvements in parent-reported social skills and in emotional intelligence at post-test and at follow up, and in theory of mind at post-test. The implications of these findings will be discussed.

description: In order to increase the accelerating gradient of Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities, Magnesium Diboride (MgB2) opens up hope because of its high transition temperature and potential for low surface resistance in the high RF field regime. However, due to the presence of the small superconducting gap in the π band, the nonlinear response of MgB2 is potentially quite large compared to a single gap s-wave superconductor (SC) such as Nb. Understanding the mechanisms of nonlinearity coming from the two-band structure of MgB2, as well as extrinsic sources, is an urgent requirement. A localized and strong RF magnetic field, created by a magnetic write head, is integrated into our nonlinear-Meissner-effect scanning microwave microscope [1]. MgB2 films with thickness 50 nm, fabricated by a hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition technique on dielectric substrates, are measured at a fixed location and show a strongly temperature-dependent third harmonic response. We propose that at least two mechanisms are responsible for this nonlinear response, one of which involves vortex nucleation and penetration into the film. [1] T. M. Tai, X. X. Xi, C. G. Zhuang, D.
