description: This brochure intends to provide a review of the main criminal justice data in Germany. It aims to inform the general public and, for the sake of conciseness, is therefore unable to include every detail or to engage in a discussion of academic literature. The brochure covers all levels of prosecution, sentencing and execution of sentence, from the work of the prosecution and court authorities through to conviction, imprisonment and probation. In order to give an idea of the scale of the problem, the brochure also includes the police crime figures on recorded crime and suspects. At the end some figures from the nationwide reconviction study are described and finally the German figures are contrasted to European data.

description: We present the first optical polarimetric study of the two transitional pulsars PSR J1023+0038 and XSS J12270-4859. This work is focused on the search for intrinsical linear polarisation (LP) in the optical emission from the two systems. We carried out multiband optical and NIR photo-polarimetry of the two systems using the ESO NTT at La Silla (Chile), equipped with the EFOSC2 and the SOFI instruments. XSS J12270-4859 was observed during its radio-pulsar state; we did not detect LP in all bands, with 3 sigma upper limits of, e.g., 1.4% in the R-band. We built the NIR-optical averaged spectral energy distribution (SED) of the system, that could be well described by an irradiated black body with radius $R_{*} = 0.33\pm0.03\,R_{\odot}$ and albedo $η=0.32\pm0.05$, without the need of further components (thus excluding the visible presence of an extended accretion disc and/or of relativistic jets). The case was different for PSR J1023+0038, that was in its accretion phase during our campaign. We measured a LP of $1.09\pm0.27\%$ and $0.90\pm 0.17\%$ in the V and R bands, respectively. The phase-resolved polarimetric curve of the source in the R-band reveals a hint of a sinusoidal modulation at the source 4.75 hr orbital period, peaked at the same orbital phase as the light curve. The measured LP of PSR J1023+0038 could in principle be interpreted as scattering with free electrons (that can be found in the accretion disc of the system or even in the hot corona that surrounds the disc itself) or to synchrotron emission from a relativistic particles jet or outflow. However, the NIR-optical SED of the system built starting from our dataset did not suggest the presence of a jet. We conclude that the optical LP observed for PSR J1023+0038 is possibly due to Thomson scattering with electrons in the disc, as also suggested from the possible modulation of the R-band LP at the system orbital period.

description: We study novel types of contributions to the partition function of the Maxwell system defined on a small compact manifold. These contributions, often not addressed in the perturbative treatment with physical photons, emerge as a result of tunneling transitions between topologically distinct but physically identical vacuum winding states. These new terms give an extra contribution to the Casimir pressure, yet to be measured. We argue that this effect is highly sensitive to a small external electric field, which should be contrasted with the conventional Casimir effect where the vacuum photons are essentially unaffected by any external field. Furthermore, photons will be emitted from the vacuum in response to a time-dependent electric field, similar to the dynamical Casimir effect in which real particles are radiated from the vacuum due to the time-dependent boundary conditions. We also propose an experimental setup using a quantum LC circuit to detect this novel effect. We expect physical electric charges to appear on the capacitor plates when the system dimension is such that coherent Aharonov-Bohm phases can be maintained over macroscopically large distances.

Ο τομέας της οδοντιατρικής ιατροδικαστικής είναι ο πλέον κατάλληλος για την αποστολή αυτή καθώς οι οδοντικοί ιστοί επηρεάζονται ελάχιστα από εξωτερικούς παράγοντες και μένουν αναλλοίωτοι σε ακραίες συνθήκες. Το ορθοπαντομογράφημα αποτελεί πολύτιμο εργαλείο στα χέρια της συγκεκριμένης επιστήμης και οι περισσότερες τεχνικές που έχουν αναπτυχθεί βασίζονται σε αυτό καθώς δίνει σαφείς πληροφορίες για όλο τον οδοντικό φραγμό αλλά και τα γύρω ανατομικά στοιχεία
description: The needs of the modern era with increasing mass disasters, frequent fatal accidents as well as huge immigration flows bring forensic science to the forefront of the issue of assessing a person's age and indeed his or her youth. The field of forensic dentistry is best suited for this mission as dental tissues are little affected by external factors and remain unchanged in extreme conditions. The orthopantomogram is a valuable tool in the hands of this science and most of the techniques that have been developed are based on it as it gives clear information about the entire dental barrier and the surrounding anatomical elements

description: The eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai in January 2022[1] provides a unique insight into the Earth as a coupled system. We show for the very first time, evidence of the direct injection of volcanic material from the surface to well above the turbopause at 105km. We find that an absorber, which seems likely to be H2O, reached higher than 150km and with an area of about 4,000,000 square km at maximum extent. These observations are consistent with the injection of >100,000 metric tons of absorber into the thermosphere. To support these results, we report observations made by the low Earth orbit (NASA Global Ultraviolet Imager and Air Force DMSP Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager sensors [2-4] operating at short wavelengths (115 to 180nm). Soon after the 4:14 UTC eruption, at 4:54 UTC the SSUSI sensor on the DMSP F16 satellite flew nearly over Hunga-Tonga, followed by the DMSP F18 satellite at 5:11 UTC. The TIMED GUVI instrument made nighttime measurements at 7:40 UTC.This wonderful coincidence enabled us to observe a short-lived (less that 24 hrs), localized(~1400km diameter), well-defined diminution (>40%) in the signals from the major thermospheric constituents (H, O and N). The day and night coverage of these satellites enables us to estimate the decay time of the absorber injection ( ~6hrs) and the time to recovery of the upper atmosphere from this energy injection (~ 24 hrs).

Gibt es eine Paralleljustiz in Deutschland? Streitbeilegung im Rechtsstaat und muslimische Traditionen

description: Dieser Bericht stützt sich auf das vorhandene Material, insbesondere die Ergebnisse der einschlägigen Arbeit des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums der Justiz. Er soll den rechtlichen Rahmen klären und das Unproblematische von dem Problemfeld abschichten, indem er den Rechtsrahmen der Konfliktlösung im deutschen und im muslimischen Recht betrachtet, sich mit der Rolle der justiziellen Konfliktregelung in der gesellschaftlichen Realität auseinandersetzt und die private Mitwirkung an der Streitbeilegung einordnet. Dieser Bericht kann jedoch nicht leisten, was nur im Rahmen eines soziologischen Forschungsvorhabens erbracht werden kann, nämlich festzustellen, welche quantitative Bedeutung eine ggf. festzustellende religiös fundierte islamische Streitschlichtung in Deutschland tatsächlich hat und inwieweit sie ethnisch verankert bzw. auf Personen mit Migrationshintergrund beschränkt ist.
description: In der kritischen Diskussion über „Paralleljustiz“ werden – so die Studie weitgehend Einzelfälle beschrieben, die zwar für sich gesehen problematisch sind, aber keine Schlüsse auf den zahlenmäßigen Umfang des Problems zulassen. Die Studie sieht keinen aktuellen Bedarf für Gesetzänderungen, da das Problem weniger ein rechtliches als ein tatsächliches sei: Zur Problembewältigung seien die bestehenden Gesetze hinreichend. Offenheit für und Vertrauen in staatliche Institutionen sowie die Akzeptanz für deutsche Rechtsvorstellungen und das deutsche Rechtssystem zu schaffen, sei in erster Linie eine integrationspolitische Aufgabe, weniger eine justizpolitische. Die Erkenntnisse der Studie deuten darauf hin, dass es sich bei den „Friedensrichtern“ um ein Phänomen handelt, das durch die Herkunft aus bestimmten Regionen erklärbar ist und das in durch Clanstrukturen charakterisierten Milieus vorkommt, also nicht primär durch eine Religionszugehörigkeit definiert ist, wobei die Betroffenen allerdings oft aus einem muslimischen Kulturkreis stammen. Bereiche, in denen nach den vorliegenden Erkenntnissen besonders auf Anzeichen unzulässiger Einwirkungen geachtet werden müsse, seien vor allem das Familien- und das Strafrecht. Dies erkläre sich daraus, dass hier am ehesten „mitgebrachte“ Ehr- und Rechtsvorstellungen aus anderen Kulturkreisen zum Tragen kommen und zu Friktionen mit der deutschen Rechtsordnung führen könnten.

description: Isolated quantum systems with quenched randomness exhibit many-body localization (MBL), wherein they do not reach local thermal equilibrium even when highly excited above their ground states. It is widely believed that individual eigenstates capture this breakdown of thermalization at finite size. We show that this belief is false in general and that a MBL system can exhibit the eigenstate properties of a thermalizing system. We propose that localized approximately conserved operators (l$^*$-bits) underlie localization in such systems. In dimensions $d>1$, we further argue that the existing MBL phenomenology is unstable to boundary effects and gives way to l$^*$-bits. Physical consequences of l$^*$-bits include the possibility of an eigenstate phase transition within the MBL phase unrelated to the dynamical transition in $d=1$ and thermal eigenstates at all parameters in $d>1$. Near-term experiments in ultra-cold atomic systems and numerics can probe the dynamics generated by boundary layers and emergence of l$^*$-bits.

Reentrant disorder-disorder transitions in generalized multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson models

description: In the lattice version of the multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson (WR) model, each site can be either empty or singly occupied by one of $M$ different particles, all species having the same fugacity $z$. The only nonzero interaction potential is a nearest-neighbor hard-core exclusion between unlike particles. For $Mz_d(M)$. If $M\ge M_0$, there is an intermediate ordered "crystal phase" (composed of two nonequivalent even and odd sublattices) for $z$ lying between $z_c(M)$ and $z_d(M)$ which is driven by entropy. We generalize the multicomponent WR model by replacing the hard-core exclusion between unlike particles by more realistic large (but finite) repulsion. The model is solved exactly on the Bethe lattice with an arbitrary coordination number. The numerical calculations, based on the corner transfer matrix renormalization group, are performed for the two-dimensional square lattice. The results for $M=4$ indicate that the second-order phase transitions from the disordered gas to the demixed phase become of first order, for an arbitrarily large finite repulsion. The results for $M\ge M_0$ show that, as the repulsion weakens, the region of crystal phase diminishes itself. For weak enough repulsions, the direct transition between the crystal and demixed phases changes into a separate pair of crystal-gas and gas-demixed transitions; this is an example of a disorder-disorder reentrant transition via an ordered crystal phase. If the repulsion between unlike species is too weak, the crystal phase disappears from the phase diagram. It is shown that the generalized WR model belongs to the Ising universality class.

Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes se sienten muy motivados al momento de desarrollar sus actividades si se les proporcionan instrumentos apropiados y reciben información coherente para que puedan desarrollar ideas creativas. Se concluye que las herramientas TIC utilizadas generan la integralidad de acciones que permiten el fortalecimiento de las competencias en los estudiantes.
Is Being 'Soft on Crime' the Solution to Rising Crime Rates? Evidence from Germany

description: Based on a theoretical framework on informal, custodial and non-custodial sentencing, the paper provides econometric tests on the effectiveness of police, public prosecution and courts. Using a unique dataset covering German states for the period 1977- 2001, a comprehensive system of criminal prosecution indicators is derived and subsequently related to the incidence of six major offence categories using panel-econometrics. Empirical evidence suggests that the criminal policy of diversion failed as increasing shares of dismissals by prosecutors and judges enhance crime rates in Germany. Crime is significantly deterred by higher clearance and conviction rates, while the effects of indicators representing type (fine, probation, imprisonment) and severity (length of prison sentence, amount of fine) of punishment are often small and insignificant.
Genes explain susceptibility to a rare heart disease

description: In the first formal study of its kind, an international team of researchers has identified two different genetic variants that make certain populations in sub-Saharan Africa more susceptible to a form of heart disease that is present throughout the developing world . Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a progressive cardiomyopathy, or disease of the heart muscle, that is characterized by abnormal changes to the inner lining of the heart ventricles, which leads to narrowing of the heart cavities. Its causes are unknown, but the disease has previously been linked to poverty and various environmental factors. It develops only in some people but not others, however, and is known to cluster within both families and certain ethnic groups, suggesting that genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to it. Andrea Beaton of the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and her colleagues therefore examined genes of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) system in 71 patients with severe EMF and 137 healthy controls, recruited from the Mozambique Heart Center, the Ugandan Heart Institute and the cardiology ward at Mulago Hospital in Uganda. HLA genes encode the proteins called the human antigen leukocyte complex, which help the immune system distinguish between the body’s own proteins and those produced by viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing microbes. In both of the populations studied, the researchers found that more females than males suffered from EMF, and that the condition predominantly affected the right rather than the left side of the heart. They also identified two distinct alleles, or variants, of HLA genes, each associated with susceptibility to EMF in one of the populations. One of these, called HLA-A*02:02, occurred more frequently in Ugandan patients with EMF, whereas the other, HLA-B*58, was more prevalent in EMF patients from Mozambique. “EMF is quite a rare cardiomyopathy compared to others,” says Beaton, “but further investigations should be aimed at confirming that these genetic variants predict susceptibility, and understanding why this is the case.” HLA genes play an essential role in the functioning of the immune system, and differences in them between individuals can both protect and predispose people to a wide variety of difference diseases. However, exactly how these newly identified genetic variants contribute to the development of EMF is still unclear. “We still have very little understanding of the cause of EMF,” adds Beaton, “and an understanding of why some people get the disease while others do not could help advance this understanding.”Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

description: Execution graphs of parallel loop programs exhibit a nested, repeating structure. We show how such graphs that are the result of nested repetition can be represented by succinct parametric structures. This parametric graph template representation allows us to reason about the execution graph of a parallel program at a cost that only depends on the program size. We develop structurally-parametric polynomial-time algorithm variants of maximum flows. When the graph models a parallel loop program, the maximum flow provides a bound on the data movement during an execution of the program. By reasoning about the structure of the repeating subgraphs, we avoid explicit construction of the instantiation (e.g., the execution graph), potentially saving an exponential amount of memory and computation. Hence, our approach enables graph-based dataflow analysis in previously intractable settings.

description: We are developing transition-edge sensor (TES)-based microcalorimeters for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (XIFU) of the future European X-Ray Observatory Athena. The microcalorimeters are based on TiAu TESs coupled to 250μm squared, AuBi absorbers. We designed and fabricated devices with different contact geometries between the absorber and the TES to optimise the detector performance and with different wiring topology to mitigate the self-magnetic field. The design is tailored to optimise the performance under Frequency Domain Multiplexing. In this paper we review the main design feature of the pixels array and we report on the performance of the 18 channels, 2-5MHz frequency domain multiplexer that will be used to characterised the detector array.

Screening for geriatric delirium in the emergency department
Creators: name: Herlihy, Jill
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of Project: Prior to project implementation, there was no routine screening process for geriatric delirium detection in the emergency department (ED) at the organization. The purpose of the project was to increase the consistency of ED geriatric delirium screening through the implementation of the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM).Methodology: This quality improvement project involved analysis of pre-implementation and post-implementation data from chart-reviews. A standard process for geriatric delirium screening was executed in the ED of an urban state-designated trauma center in northern New Jersey. ED nurses were educated on delirium screening with the CAM tool through informal educational sessions. The nurses were taught to implement therapeutic delirium management techniques for positive CAM screenings. A paired samples t-test was used to determine if the average number of CAM screenings improved with statistical significance from one month of pre-implementation to one month of post-implementation. Percent agreement was calculated to determine the inter-user reliability between a co-project investigator CAM screening and ED nurse CAM screening.Results: On average, the consistency of CAM screenings increased with statistical significance from 0% during the pre-CAM phase to 32.5% during the post-CAM phase, t(39) = -4.33, p = 0.0000499. The percent agreement between a co-project investigator CAM screening and an ED nurse CAM screening was 89.58%.Implications for Practice: The increased consistency of CAM screenings demonstrates the effectiveness of standardizing the process for ED geriatric delirium screening. Accurate identification of delirium through routine screening is essential to avoid adverse medical and financial consequences.

description: A new study by researchers at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and in Doha, Qatar, suggests that public health strategies could have a major impact on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the Qatari population.Paul Christos and his colleagues examined demographic, lifestyle and medical information of 512 heart attack and 262 stroke patients admitted to the Hamad Medical Corporation between June 2006 and June 2008, and compared them to that of 382 control patients randomly selected from unrelated departments of the hospital during the same period.They found that more than two-thirds of heart attacks and one half of strokes occurred in people under 55 years of age, with 12% and 7%, respectively, in people under 40 — which is among the highest rates in young people around the world. Most of these were male, with Qatari nationals making up 13% of heart attack and 25% of the cases of stroke. Expatriates, who make up more than 70% of the population of the small Gulf state, made up the rest.About 40% of the study participants were overweight and an additional 30% were obese. Many of the heart attack and stroke patients had diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and/or were smokers, whereas controls were much less likely to have these factors.All of these factors are associated with reduced physical activity and increased consumption of high-fat foods. “Both Qatari nationals and expatriates should adopt healthier lifestyles to reduce the prevalence of these risk factors,” says Christos. Diabetes was the largest preventable risk factor to decrease heart attacks and strokes.Heart attack and stroke are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, which have killed an estimated 17.1 million people in 2004, according to the World Health Organization. This is projected to increase to more than 23 million by 2030, with the largest increase to occur throughout the Middle East, due in part to the adoption of the sedentary Western lifestyle.The findings show that the risk factors in Qatar are comparable with those reported in 52 other countries around the world. The importance of diabetes as a risk factor, however, was found to be higher than other countries in the Gulf region and significantly higher than the US.“Public health officials should design programmes to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and management of risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension,” says Christos, as well as work on effective awareness campaigns to create a culture of preventive health in Qatar.Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

Terror and the Costs of Crime

description: This paper argues that terrorism, beyond its immediate impact on innocent victims, also raises the costs of crime, and therefore, imposes a negative externality on potential criminals. Terrorism raises the costs of crime through two channels: (i) by increasing the presence and activity of the police force, and (ii) causing more people to stay at home rather than going out for leisure activities. Our analysis exploits a panel of 120 fatal terror attacks and all reported crimes for 17 districts throughout Israel between 2000 and 2005. After controlling for the fixed-effect of each district and for district-specific time trends, we show that terror attacks reduce property crimes such as burglary, auto-theft, and thefts-from-cars. Terror also reduces assaults and aggravated assaults which occur in private homes, but increases incidents of trespassing and "disrupting the police." Taken as a whole, the results are consistent with a stronger deterrence effect produced by an increased police presence after a terror attack. A higher level of policing is likely to catch more people trespassing, and at the same time, reduce the number of property crimes. The decline in crimes committed in private houses is likely an indication that the tendency for individuals to stay home after a terror attack further increases the costs of crime.

description: El turismo es una de las actividades que aportan al crecimiento económico de la ciudad de Cartagena y por consiguiente, a la economía interna del país. Es razón de gran valor para contribuir con la amplitud de su competitividad tecnológica y así facilitar su proceso de facturación. Por ende es necesaria una herramienta que brinde sencillez y eficiencia en este proceso, por lo que se ha desarrollado este trabajo de investigación que lleva por título “Componente de Facturación Orientado a las Pymes del Sector Turístico de la Ciudad de Cartagena Basado en Cloud Computing”. Este proyecto se destacó por su innovación tecnológica por su orientación al software como servicio (SaaS) y por ende, cloud computing, cumpliendo con los objetivos planteados en el PNTIC. En este se utilizó una investigación de tipo mixta, ya que fue necesaria de investigación documental para obtener información detallada sobre ERPs de código abierto y cómo evaluar su calidad por medio de normas internacionales como la ISO 25000:2005, además, de información acorde al proceso de facturación en Colombia. Seguidamente se necesitó de investigación de campo a través de visitas y entrevistas a diferentes pymes para verificar y obtener requerimientos a partir de las prácticas realizadas en ellas. Y posteriormente, se desarrolló el proyecto objetivo a objetivo, cumpliendo a cabalidad con cada uno de ellos y procediendo con la ejecución de cada una de las etapas de desarrollo de un software Como resultados más relevantes se destacan el análisis realizado a los ERPs seleccionados, en el que se pudo observar que estos cumplen de manera genérica con el proceso de facturación, pero no están estructurados para este tipo de empresas y no cumplen a cabalidad con la normatividad legal. Adicionalmente, el propósito de la aplicación, concebida como un módulo de facturación para pymes del sector turístico de Cartagena, da respuesta a un problema que se presenta muy a menudo en las pymes en el ámbito de facturación, por falta de conocimiento y organización, con el cual se brinda facilidad en el manejo de facturas e informes correspondientes a los datos de estas, clientes y usuarios del sistema.

description: We construct the five-dimensional supergravity dual of the $\mathcal{N}=1^*$ mass deformation of the $\mathcal{N} =4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $S^4$ and use it to calculate the universal contribution to the corresponding $S^4$ free energy at large 't Hooft coupling in the planar limit. The holographic RG flow solutions are smooth and preserve four supercharges. As a novel feature compared to the holographic duals of $\mathcal{N} = 1^*$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$, in our backgrounds the five-dimensional dilaton has a non-trivial profile, and the gaugino condensate is fixed in terms of the mass-deformation parameters. Important aspects of the analysis involve characterizing the ambiguities in the partition function of non-conformal $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric theories on $S^4$ as well as the action of S-duality on the $\mathcal{N}=1^*$ theory.

description: InAs/InP multiwavelength quantum dash lasers are promising solutions to rising data loads in our telecommunications systems, as one laser chip can replace many lasers operating at a single wavelength. Quantum dashes are quasi-one-dimensional nanoparticles that offer equal or increased performance as laser gain media when compared to equivalent quantum well devices. InAs/InP quantum dashes are ideal for laser devices emitting in the C-band region, centred around 1550 nm. The quantum dashes in this thesis are epitaxially grown via the self assembled Stranski-Krastanow mode. Characterizing how structure and composition of these quantum dashes affect the energy level spacing and emission wavelengths is crucial for designing better performing telecommunications lasers. In this thesis a method for determining the average heights and widths of these nanoparticles from atomic force microscopy measurements of uncapped InAs/InGaAsP/InP quantum dashes is developed. Single quantum dash simulations are built in Crosslight Photonic Integrated Circuit Simulator (PICS3D) with the lowest energy transition tuned to photoluminescence peak wavelengths provided by National Research Council Canada. These simulations are used to determine the impact of quantum dash dimensions, compositions, and heterostructure changes to the overlap integrals and emission energies. Phosphorus concentration within the quantum dash and wetting layer can modify the predicted emission wavelength by ∼200 nm, and increasing quantum dash lengths beyond 200 nm has negligible effect on emission energy and energy level spacing. The sublayer thickness is increased from 0.1 to 1 nm, and shows that emission energy will increase for GaP sublayers and decrease for GaAs sublayers by up to 30 meV. The role of the wetting layer on energy level spacing is discussed and determined to increase the emission energy by ∼15 meV when the 0.5 nm wetting layer is removed for a 2 nm quantum dash. The role of As/P intermixing is investigated in three ways: by incorporating phosphorus concentration in (1) the quantum dash and wetting layer, (2) the wetting layer, and (3) the lower portion of the quantum dash without a wetting layer. There is negligible change in the overlap integral for these three cases with all other variables held constant, and the trends between each case remain the same. Further experimental analysis of buried InAs quantum dashes is recommended for compositional information. The implementation of variable strain profiles in this model is also recommended, in addition to developing vertically coupled quantum dash simulations. Finally, performing these simulations at varying temperatures will better represent the operating conditions of quantum dash lasers.
