description: In dynamic and cramped industrial environments, achieving reliable Visual Teach and Repeat (VT&R) with a single-camera is challenging. In this work, we develop a robust method for non-synchronized multi-camera VT&R. Our contribution are expected Camera Performance Models (CPM) which evaluate the camera streams from the teach step to determine the most informative one for localization during the repeat step. By actively selecting the most suitable camera for localization, we are able to successfully complete missions when one of the cameras is occluded, faces into feature poor locations or if the environment has changed. Furthermore, we explore the specific challenges of achieving VT&R on a dynamic quadruped robot, ANYmal. The camera does not follow a linear path (due to the walking gait and holonomicity) such that precise path-following cannot be achieved. Our experiments feature forward and backward facing stereo cameras showing VT&R performance in cluttered indoor and outdoor scenarios. We compared the trajectories the robot executed during the repeat steps demonstrating typical tracking precision of less than 10cm on average. With a view towards omni-directional localization, we show how the approach generalizes to four cameras in simulation. Video: https://youtu.be/iAY0lyjAnqY

Specimens examined. Five females, Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan, 53°15ʹN, 66°29ʹE, 5 October 2019, A.K. Is-sakova coll., from soil (in TSUMZ).
Remarks. The most recent taxonomic work on the family was by Mašán (2017), who comprehensively revised the generic concepts and morphological attributes of this family. A. corbiculus was described from British Isles in moss (Sowerby, 1806), and has been recorded from Europe, England and China (Mašán, 2017). It is now recorded in Kazakhstan for the first time, from soil. Mašán (2017) designated a lectotype of A. corbiculus, and synonymised Ameroseius norvegicus with A. corbiculus. Our specimens agree very well with the description given by Narita et al. (2015) (for A. norvegicus), also with modifications presented by Mašán (2017) for this species. Ameroseius corbiculus is easily recognised by the 29 pairs of stout and robust setae, long enough to reach the base of the next posterior setae, seta j1 flat, broad and serrate (Fig. 1) and five pairs of setae on the opisthogastric soft integument (JV4 absent) (Fig. 2).

title: Von Frauenlist und Männerklugheit
Creators: name: Bortis, Stefanie Theres
Year: 2019

description: Die Figurenkonstellation des Ehepaares, das sich in seinem Kampf um die Vorherrschaft innerhalb seiner Ehebeziehung wortreich überlistet, ist aus der mittelhochdeutschen Märendichtung kaum wegzudenken. Gerade Frauenfiguren wird in diesem Zusammenhang in der Märenforschung oftmals ein gewisses Maß an rhetorischer Überlegenheit attestiert, das textintern allerdings nicht selten als weibliche Geschwätzigkeit oder sprachliche Tücke ausgelegt wird. Abseits dieser misogynen Zuschreibungen erweisen sich sprachliche Täuschungsmanöver im Märe, werden sie in Anlehnung an die Sprechakttheorie John L. AUSTINS als Form sozialen Handelns verstanden, allerdings als komplexe Kommunikationssituationen, in denen soziale Beziehungen gestiftet, ausgehandelt oder aufgelöst werden können. Ausgehend von einem sprechakttheoretischen Verständnis des Phänomens der Sprachlist, setzt sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit dem listigen Sprechen weiblicher und männlicher Protagonist_innen in ausgewählten Ehestandsmären auseinander. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung stehen dabei die Mären Das heiße Eisen des Strickers, Die böse Adelheid, Ritter Beringer, Jacob Appets Der Ritter unter dem Zuber und Heinrich Kaufringers Die Rache des Ehemannes, die im Rahmen einer Textanalyse auf listige Kommunikationssituationen zwischen den handlungstragenden Figuren untersucht werden. Dabei wird anhand exemplarisch herausgearbeiteter rhetorischer Strategien des Märenpersonals aufgezeigt, wie die Sprachmacht einzelner Figuren in konflikthaften Gesprächssettings über das Geschlechterverhältnis in den dargestellten ehelichen Beziehungen entscheiden kann. Abseits der konkreten Untersuchungsergebnisse möchte die Arbeit am Beispiel der ausgewählten Ehestandsmären zeigen, inwiefern die Märenforschung zum Geschlechterverhältnis von einem sprechakttheoretischen Zugang zum Sprechen in den Erzählungen profitieren kann und damit eine versprechende Forschungsperspektive für die Zukunft eröffnen.

Fighting fires: three essays on human capital and program outcomes in child welfare
Creators: name: Dhillon, Anita
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation unpacks how human capital instability and external control policies interact to influence outcomes in the context of stressed policy environments. Stressed environments are introduced as having high ambiguity, environmental complexity, vulnerable recipients, a chronic lack of resources, and work turbulence. Child welfare agencies are used to represent one such organizational context. The three subsequent essays explore how different human capital elements and external reform policies come together to affect child welfare outcomes. The first essay focuses on frontline caseworker turnover in the Texas child welfare system, and a human resource policy reform to address the chronically high turnover rates. The second essay focuses on another salient aspect of human capital in stressed organizations - frontline worker discretion - specifically in the policy reform context of privatization. The final essay continues to explore the implications of privatization, particularly on citizen perceptions and the attribution of blame during a crisis in child welfare service delivery. This essay further focuses on how the communication of managerial actions could mitigate or enhance the relationship between privatization and blame. The findings have implications that are relevant in other similarly stressed but understudied organizational contexts in public management literature. This includes juvenile justice systems, substance and mental health counseling, adult protective services, prisons, and policing. The dissertation highlights the alarming lack of ability of caseworkers and agencies to shape service delivery in child welfare. To combat this, the findings emphasize the need for more holistic contracting decisions that better encompass implementation and human resource policies that allow the people closest to the problem to have the best possible chance to perform their job and affect outcomes. Contracting is shown to bring additional instability to nonprofits and increased blame attribution to the government, pointing to the need for more research on the contracting-implementation interaction and the feedback of these findings to decision-makers that govern contracting policy. Human capital reforms, especially in stressed policy environments, need more long-term strategic planning and the development of an organizational identity, so that such organizations can move beyond just fighting fires to meet their outcomes effectively and equitably.

description: A common classification task situation is where one has a large amount of data available for training, but only a small portion is annotated with class labels. The goal of semi-supervised training, in this context, is to improve classification accuracy by leverage information not only from labeled data but also from a large amount of unlabeled data. Recent works have developed significant improvements by exploring the consistency constrain between differently augmented labeled and unlabeled data. Following this path, we propose a novel unsupervised objective that focuses on the less studied relationship between the high confidence unlabeled data that are similar to each other. The new proposed Pair Loss minimizes the statistical distance between high confidence pseudo labels with similarity above a certain threshold. Combining the Pair Loss with the techniques developed by the MixMatch family, our proposed SimPLE algorithm shows significant performance gains over previous algorithms on CIFAR-100 and Mini-ImageNet, and is on par with the state-of-the-art methods on CIFAR-10 and SVHN. Furthermore, SimPLE also outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in the transfer learning setting, where models are initialized by the weights pre-trained on ImageNet or DomainNet-Real.

title: Unterrichtsmomente in der Lehramtsausbildung Mathematik
Creators: name: Bäcker, Lukas
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit einem innovativen Ansatz nach PREDIGER (2013), die Idee sogenannter Unterrichtsmomente in die Lehramtsausbildung einzubinden. Unterrichtsmomente greifen Erkenntnisse aus der empirischen Erforschung des Lehrerprofessionswissens von BALL und BASS (2004) auf. Darüber hinaus beziehen auf Unterrichtsmomenten aufbauende Übungsaufgaben für Lehramtsstudierende prototypische Unterrichtssituationen mit ein, in deren Rahmen didaktisches Handeln durch mathematische Erwägungen fundiert werden soll. Zunächst werden bereits bestehende Aufgabenkonzepte betrachtet, die vielversprechende Ansätze zur Verknüpfung der Ausbildungsteile „Fachmathematik“ und „Fachdidaktik“ darstellen. Im Zuge der Arbeit werden anschließend vier reale Unterrichtssituationen aufgegriffen und im Sinne der Idee der Unterrichtsmomente zu Übungsaufgaben für Lehramtsstudierende ausgearbeitet. Der Ansatz der Unterrichtsmomente soll dazu beitragen, Lehramtsstudierende zu einer differenzierten Auseinandersetzung mit hochschulmathematischen Fragestellungen vor einem schulmathematischen Hintergrund zu motivieren. Dadurch soll jenem Problem der doppelten Diskontinuität entgegengewirkt werden, dass Schul- und Hochschulmathematik von Studierenden des Lehramts häufig als voneinander getrennte Welten wahrgenommen werden.

Asian American student identities and experiences in higher education
Creators: name: Lee, Hyun
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: With a population of over 24 million, Asian Americans are the most misunderstood and oversimplified racial and ethnic group in the United States. In higher education, Asian American college students are a rapidly growing population, yet their challenges in navigating their Asian American identity in college environments and surroundings have often gone unnoticed. Existing racial, structural, and systemic racial inequities in higher education have constrained Asian American students. One of the biggest educational issues facing Asian American college students today involves misunderstandings about their Asian American identity. This research sought to examine how Asian American students make sense of the ways that race and racism impact their experiences and identities. To assess and address this reality, I used Asian Critical Theory (AsianCrit) as a tool to understand the racial and racialized experience of Asian American students in higher education. In conducting my research, I used a qualitative research design (semi-structured interviews, affinity group reflection sessions) to investigate and uncover changes in Asian American students’ perceptions, understanding, and knowledge of their own identities as they developed critical awareness of those identities and critical understanding of race and racialization. By using a Participatory Action Research methodology and a photovoice intervention tool, I studied how student participants viewed, defined, and experienced progress in self-empowerment and the development of their own identities. The methodology produced findings that highlighted the diverse and complex nature of Asian American identity and ways in which they are misrepresented and oversimplified by others. Results showed that students’ empowerment and positive identity awareness became enhanced as they engaged in making choices about their photovoice project, gained meaning from their projects, and participated in collaborative critical reflection with their peers and the researcher. The findings also suggested a future research path for Asian American student identity development that is focused on photovoice methodology, amplifying student voices, encouraging student narratives, and critical reflection. The implications of these findings validated pre-existing literature on the value of support for Asian American students and the importance of an accurate understanding of their diverse identities and experiences in higher education. Such support and accuracy in understanding will enhance the Asian American student experience, encourage Asian American students to participate more actively in the culture of higher education institutions. The resulting interactions will have mutual benefits for Asian American students, students who are not Asian American, and higher education professionals.

description: We design a proof system for propositional classical logic that integrates two languages for Boolean functions: standard conjunction-disjunction-negation and binary decision trees. We give two reasons to do so. The first is proof-theoretical naturalness: the system consists of all and only the inference rules generated by the single, simple, linear scheme of the recently introduced subatomic logic. Thanks to this regularity, cuts are eliminated via a natural construction. The second reason is that the system generates efficient proofs. Indeed, we show that a certain class of tautologies due to Statman, which cannot have better than exponential cut-free proofs in the sequent calculus, have polynomial cut-free proofs in our system. We achieve this by using the same construction that we use for cut elimination. In summary, by expanding the language of propositional logic, we make its proof theory more regular and generate more proofs, some of which are very efficient. That design is made possible by considering atoms as superpositions of their truth values, which are connected by self-dual, non-commutative connectives. A proof can then be projected via each atom into two proofs, one for each truth value, without a need for cuts. Those projections are semantically natural and are at the heart of the constructions in this paper. To accommodate self-dual non-commutativity, we compose proofs in deep inference.

description: Many networked applications, e.g., in the domain of cyber-physical systems, require strict service guarantees, usually in the form of jitter and latency bounds, for time-triggered traffic flows. It is a notoriously hard problem to compute a network-wide traffic plan that satisfies these requirements, and dynamic changes in the flow set add even more challenges. Existing traffic-planning methods are ill-suited for dynamic scenarios because they either suffer from high computational cost, can result in low network utilization, or provide no explicit guarantees when transitioning to a new traffic plan that incorporates new flows. Therefore, we present a novel approach for dynamic traffic planning of time-triggered flows. Our conflict-graph based modeling of the traffic planning problem allows to reconfigure active flows to increase the network utilization, while also providing per-flow QoS guarantees during the transition to the new traffic plan. Additionally, we introduce a novel heuristic for computing the new traffic plans. Evaluations of our prototypical implementation show that we can efficiently compute new traffic plans in scenarios with hundreds of active flows for a wide range of scenarios.

description: Finanzkompetenzen gewinnen heutzutage immer mehr an Bedeutung. Der Begriff Finanzkompetenz ist ein multidimensionales Konstrukt, zu dem unter anderem Finanzverhalten, Einstellungen zu und Interesse an Finanzthemen, Finanzwissen und Bewusstsein gezählt werden. Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist die Evaluierung des „CURE-Runners Workshop Finanzkompetenz” vom Sozialunternehmen Three Coins in Hinblick auf seine Fähigkeit, die Finanzkompetenzen von österreichischen Jugendlichen zu verbessern. 185 Jugendliche aus Niederösterreich im Alter von 14-18 Jahren gingen in die Analyse ein. Die Evaluation wurde an drei Messzeitpunkten durchgeführt, einer vor dem Workshop, einer direkt danach und einer zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt. Die Analyse demonstrierte, dass sich das Interesse an Finanzthemen, die Einstellungen zu Finanzthemen und das Finanzverhalten der Jugendlichen durch die Teilnahme am Workshop verbesserten. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass der Workshop positiv zur Entwicklung von Finanzkompetenzen beitragen kann.
description: Financial literacy is becoming more and more important. The term financial literacy is a multidimensional construct including among other things financial behavior, attitudes and interest in financial topics, financial knowledge and awareness. The aim of this master thesis is the evaluation of the “CURE-Runners Workshop Finanzkompetenz” by the social enterprise Three Coins regarding its ability to increase the financial literacy of Austrian teenagers. 185 teenagers from Lower Austria aged 14-18 years took part in the evaluation. The evaluation was conducted at three times of measurement, one before, one right after and one later. The analysis showed that interest in financial topics, attitudes concerning financial topics, and financial behavior improved by participating in the workshop. The results suggest that the workshop contributes to the development of financial literacy.

description: We propose a method to generate magnetic skyrmions by focusing spin waves totally reflected by a curved film edge. Based on the principle of identical magnonic path length, we derive the edge contour that is parabolic and frequency-independent. Micromagnetic simulations are performed to verify our theoretical design. It is found that under proper conditions, magnetic droplet first emerges near the focal point where the spin-wave intensity has been significantly enhanced, and then converts to magnetic skyrmion accompanied by a change of the topological charge. The phase diagram about the amplitude and frequency of the driving field for skyrmion generation is obtained. Our finding would be helpful for the designment of spintronic devices combing the advantage of skyrmionics and magnonics.

description: Diese Arbeit handelt von Nachrichtenwerten in den Qualitätszeitungen Österreichs. Die Nachrichtenfaktoren sind seit Jahren im Journalismus ein wichtiger Faktor für die Platzierung und Veröffentlichung von Meldungen, der durch den technologischen Fortschritt sowie die Konkurrenz zwischen klassischen und neuen Medien weiter an Bedeutung gewinnt. Wie die herkömmlichen Medien in Konkurrenz mit neuen Medien stehen und wie diese Medien ein Verhältnis bezüglich der Inhalte mit einander haben, werden analysiert. Ein Vergleich wurde zwischen Onlinezeitungen und Printausgaben der Qualitätszeitungen Österreichs gezogen. Untersucht wurde, inwiefern sich Nachrichtenwerte in Onlinezeitungen von Offlinezeitungen unterscheiden. Als Erklärungsgrundlage diente die Nachrichtenwerttheorie, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf Gatekeeping und Nachrichtenselektion liegt. Der letzte Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Anteil von harten und weichen Nachrichten online und offline. Drei Nachrichtenwerte wurden online durch Varianzanalyse als signifikant befunden. Eine positive und eine negative signifikante Korrelation wurden zwischen Nachrichtenwerten und Umfang der Beiträge ermittelt. Beim Vergleich zwischen Online- und Offlinemedien, hatten die harten Nachrichten im Print einen höheren Anteil, aber das Ergebnis war insignifikant.
description: This paper investigates news values in quality Austrian newspapers. For years, news values have been an important factor for the placement and publishing of news. Advanced technologies have made it more important to analyze how conventional media and new media compete with each other, especially in terms of their content. In this study, online and print versions of quality Austrian newspapers are compared to analyze the differences in the news values of online and offline newspapers. The study uses news value theory in the context of gatekeeping and news selection for analysis. The final part of the paper addresses the proprtion of hard and soft news present in the online and offline versions of the newspapers. Variance analysis tests found significant differences in three news values in the online and offline versions of the newspapers. One positive and one negative correlation were found between the number of news values in an article and the length of the article. Additionally, more hard news were found in print newspapers; however, this result was insignificant.

description: Multimodal image alignment is the process of finding spatial correspondences between images formed by different imaging techniques or under different conditions, to facilitate heterogeneous data fusion and correlative analysis. The information-theoretic concept of mutual information (MI) is widely used as a similarity measure to guide multimodal alignment processes, where most works have focused on local maximization of MI that typically works well only for small displacements; this points to a need for global maximization of MI, which has previously been computationally infeasible due to the high run-time complexity of existing algorithms. We propose an efficient algorithm for computing MI for all discrete displacements (formalized as the cross-mutual information function (CMIF)), which is based on cross-correlation computed in the frequency domain. We show that the algorithm is equivalent to a direct method while asymptotically superior in terms of run-time. Furthermore, we propose a method for multimodal image alignment for transformation models with few degrees of freedom (e.g. rigid) based on the proposed CMIF-algorithm. We evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method on three distinct benchmark datasets, of aerial images, cytological images, and histological images, and we observe excellent success-rates (in recovering known rigid transformations), overall outperforming alternative methods, including local optimization of MI as well as several recent deep learning-based approaches. We also evaluate the run-times of a GPU implementation of the proposed algorithm and observe speed-ups from 100 to more than 10,000 times for realistic image sizes compared to a GPU implementation of a direct method.

description: Die Verbindung von Satire und Journalismus aus Sicht der ProduzentInnen satirischer Formate ist ein bislang schwach erforschtes Feld in der deutschen Kommunikationswissenschaft. Die Arbeit versucht erste Lücken zu schließen. Hierfür wurden 36 Satirebetreibende aus Deutschland und Österreich mithilfe qualitativer halb-standardisierter Leitfadeninterviews zu ihren Motivationen und Zielen, ihrer Einschätzung der Satire und der Verbindung von Satire und Journalismus interviewt. Die Satirebetreibenden können in ähnliche Rollenbilder wie JournalistInnen eingeordnet werden. Sie nehmen eine unterhaltende Rolle ein, bemühen sich aber auch um Aufklärung sowie um Kritik und Kontrolle. Ihre Tätigkeiten ähneln journalistischen, unterscheiden sich jedoch stark in den Zielvorstellungen, da sie sich der Individualität und Subjektivität verschreiben. Außerdem sind sie auf den Journalismus als Informationslieferanten angewiesen und können deshalb lediglich als unterstützendes Element am Rande des journalistischen Feldes angesehen werden. Sie selbst sehen sich vermehrt als KünstlerInnen, nur ein Bruchteil sieht sich als JournalistIn.
description: The connection between satire and journalism from the perspective of the producers of satirical formats is a nearly unexplored field in the German-speaking communication science. This thesis tries to close first gaps. Therefore, 36 satirists from Germany and Austria were questioned (interviewed) with a half-structured guided interview on their motivation and aims, their appraisal of satire and the connection between satire and journalism. The satirists can be categorized by similar role dimensions as journalists. They take entertaining roles yet strive for enlightenment as well as critic and control. Their occupation is quite like journalistic ones, but strongly distinguished in their objectives. They dedicate themselves to individualism and subjectivism. Besides, satirists are reliant on journalists as providers of information. Therefore, they can only be seen as a supporting element of journalism at the border of the journalistic field. Most of the satirists see themselves as artists, only a small part as journalists.
