description: Interkulturelle Handlungskompetenz ist eine überfachliche Schüsselqualifikation von weitreichender Bedeutung zur Bewältigung der mit zunehmender Internationalisierung und Globalisierung sich stellenden Anforderungen. Zunächst wird an einigen Beispielen die Bedeutung der Thematik für das Wirtschaftsleben und den erfolgreichen beruflichen Einsatz im Ausland erläutert. Auf diesen Grundlagen aufbauend werden die verschiedenen aufeinander Bezug nehmenden Phasen der Entwicklung interkulturellen Handelns präsentiert. So lässt sich nachvollziehen, dass interkulturelles Handeln nicht einfach so nebenbei aus praktischen Erfahrungen in der Interaktion mit ausländischen Partnern entstehen kann, sondern das Resultat eines komplexen Lern- und Entwicklungsprozesses darstellt. Im letzten Abschnitt werden zentrale Aspekte der zukünftigen Entwicklung interkultureller Handlungskompetenz als Thema von Ausbildung und Qualifizierung angesprochen, wie interkulturelle Trainings, interkulturelles Erfahrungswissen, Kulturspezifität trainingsdidaktischer Konzepte und die lebensbiographische Entwicklung interkultureller Handlungskompetenz.
description: Intercultural competence is a key qualification which mustn t be reserved for specific professions but has major importance for everybody in times of increasing demands due to internationalisation and globalisation. First, the importance of the topic for business and professional success abroad is explained on the basis of examples. In the course of this discussion the phenomenon of cultural convergence and divergence are explained. Building on that the different connected phases of intercultural interaction are presented, showing that competent intercultural behaviour is not an easily achieved side product of intercultural experience. It is the result of a complex learning and developmental process. The last chapter focuses on central aspects for future development of intercultural competence in education and qualification, e.g. intercultural trainings, intercultural experiential knowledge, culturally bound training concepts and the biographical development of intercultural competence.

description: In a Mirror Twin World with a maximally symmetric Higgs sector the little hierarchy of the Standard Model can be significantly mitigated, perhaps displacing the cutoff scale above the LHC reach. We show that consistency with observations requires that the Z2 parity exchanging the Standard Model with its mirror be broken in the Yukawa couplings. A minimal such effective field theory, with this sole Z2 breaking, can generate the Z2 breaking in the Higgs sector necessary for the Twin Higgs mechanism. The theory has constrained and correlated signals in Higgs decays, direct Dark Matter Detection and Dark Radiation, all within reach of foreseen experiments, over a region of parameter space where the fine-tuning for the electroweak scale is 10-50%. For dark matter, both mirror neutrons and a variety of self-interacting mirror atoms are considered. Neutrino mass signals and the effects of a possible additional Z2 breaking from the vacuum expectation values of B-L breaking fields are also discussed.

description: We investigate the global causal structure of the end state of a spherically symmetric marginally bound Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) \cite{Lemaitre, Tolman, Bondi} collapsing cloud (which is well studied in general relativity) in the framework of modified gravity having the generalized Lagrangian $R+αR^2$ in the action. Here $R$ is the Ricci scalar, and $α\geq 0$ is a constant. By fixing the functional form of the metric components of the LTB spacetime, using up the available degree of freedom, we realize that the matching surface of the interior and the exterior metric are different for different values of $α$. This change in the matching surface can alter the causal property of the first central singularity. We depict this by showing a numerical example. Additionally, for a globally naked singularity to have physical relevance, a congruence of null geodesics should escape from such singularity to be visible to an asymptotic observer for an infinite time. For this to happen, the first central singularity should be a nodal point. We here give a heuristic method to show that this singularity is a nodal point by considering the above class of theory of gravity, of which general relativity is a particular case.

description: We expand on a recent determination of the first global energy spectrum of the ocean's surface geostrophic circulation (Storer et al., 2022) using a coarse-graining (CG) method. We compare spectra from CG to those from spherical harmonics by treating land in a manner consistent with the boundary conditions. While the two methods yield qualitatively consistent domain-averaged results, spherical harmonics spectra are too noisy at gyre-scales ($>1000~$km). More importantly, spherical harmonics are inherently global and cannot provide local information connecting scales with currents geographically. CG shows that the extra-tropics mesoscales (100-500~km) have a root-mean-square (rms) velocity of $\sim15~$cm/s, which increases to $\sim30$-40~cm/s locally in the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio and to $\sim16$-28~cm/s in the ACC. There is notable hemispheric asymmetry in mesoscale energy-per-area, which is higher in the north due to continental boundaries. We estimate that $\approx25$-50\% of total geostrophic energy is at scales smaller than 100~km, and is un(der)-resolved by pre-SWOT satellite products. Spectra of the time-mean component show that most of its energy (up to $70\%$) resides in stationary mesoscales ($<500~$km), highlighting the preponderance of `standing' small-scale structures in the global ocean. By coarse-graining in space and time, we compute the first spatio-temporal global spectrum of geostrophic circulation from AVISO and NEMO. These spectra show that every length-scale evolves over a wide range of time-scales with a consistent peak at $\approx200$ km and $\approx2$-3~weeks.

Assessment of Knowledge and Practice of Breast Self Examination among Female Undergraduate Students in Addis Ababa University, College of Bussiness and Economics, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Amare, Mikiyas
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Breast self-examination (BSE) is a simple, very low cost, non-invasive screening method used to detect breast cancer early which involves the woman herself looking at and feeling for any change in their breast as early as possible. Breast self-examination should be done for all women above the age of 20 years. Objective: To assess the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination among female undergraduate students in Addis Ababa University, College of Business and Economics, Ethiopia. Method: Institutional based crosssectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination among female undergraduate students in Addis Ababa University, College of Business and Economics. Departments were selected from College of Business and Economics by using lottery method. Then a simple random sampling technique was used to select a total of 407 female students from each department. Data was collected by using self-administered, structured and pre tested questionnaire from February 1-30, 2016. Quantitative method was employed to achieve the research objective. The data was entered into Epidata and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) window software. Binary logistic regression and multiple logistic regressions were done to confirm association between variables. Result A total of 407 respondents were enrolled in the study giving a respondent rate of 100%. 203(49.9%) of respondents had a good knowledge of BSE. Only 87(21.4%) of the study participants ever practiced breast self examination. The three main reasons for not doing BSE were didn't know how to perform BSE 95(29.7%), had no breast problem 81(25.3%), and carelessness 67(20.9%). Previous place of residence, attitude of BSE and knowing someone suffer from breast cancer found to be significantly associated with knowledge of BSE. Breast self-examination practice had showed significant association with family history of breast cancer, knowledge and attitude of BSE. Conclusion This study revealed half of study subjects have good knowledge of BSE however, majority of study subjects didn't ever practice BSE. Thus warrant to the concerned bodies for creation of awareness about breast self-examination and training students how to practice BSE. Key words knowledge, practice, Breast self-examination, female students

description: Complex Langevin simulations allow numerical studies of theories that exhibit a sign problem, such as QCD, and are thereby potentially suitable to determine the QCD phase diagram from first principles. Here we study QCD in the limit of heavy quarks for a wide range of temperatures and chemical potentials. Our results include an analysis of the adaptive gauge cooling technique, which prevents large excursions into the non-compact directions of the SL($3, \mathbb{C}$) manifold. We find that such excursions may appear spontaneously and change the statistical distribution of physical observables, which leads to disagreement with known results. Results whose excursions are sufficiently small are used to map the boundary line between confined and deconfined quark phases.

description: We introduce CaloFlow, a fast detector simulation framework based on normalizing flows. For the first time, we demonstrate that normalizing flows can reproduce many-channel calorimeter showers with extremely high fidelity, providing a fresh alternative to computationally expensive GEANT4 simulations, as well as other state-of-the-art fast simulation frameworks based on GANs and VAEs. Besides the usual histograms of physical features and images of calorimeter showers, we introduce a new metric for judging the quality of generative modeling: the performance of a classifier trained to differentiate real from generated images. We show that GAN-generated images can be identified by the classifier with nearly 100% accuracy, while images generated from CaloFlow are better able to fool the classifier. More broadly, normalizing flows offer several advantages compared to other state-of-the-art approaches (GANs and VAEs), including: tractable likelihoods; stable and convergent training; and principled model selection. Normalizing flows also provide a bijective mapping between data and the latent space, which could have other applications beyond simulation, for example, to detector unfolding.

description: Der Betriebsratstypus des Co-Managers zieht zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Wir untersuchen in diesem Artikel am Beispiel von Betriebsräten im Öffentlichen Personennahverkehr, ob dieser Betriebsratstypus sich von anderen (konventionellen, engagierten oder ambitionierten) Betriebsratstypen hinsichtlich seiner Qualifizierungsprozesse und seiner Kommunikationsstrukturen unterscheidet. Basierend auf einer schriftlichen Befragung aller Betriebsräte zeigt sich, dass der Co-Manager mehr Weiterbildungsangebote in Anspruch nimmt und die dadurch erworbenen Kompetenzen häufiger durch interne Wissensvermittlungsprozesse an andere Betriebsratsmitglieder weitergibt. Die Kontaktflächen zur Geschäftsleitung sind deutlich ausgeprägter, ohne dass dies mit einer Reduzierung der Kontakte zu Gewerkschaften einhergeht. Darüber hinaus wird ein Schwerpunkt im Kontakt zu Betriebsräten anderer Unternehmen gelegt; hier sind Co-Manager deutlich variantenreicher und differenzierter als ihre Kollegen aus den anderen Betriebsratstypen.
description: The co-manager type is receiving increasing attention. Taking as an example works councils of public transport companies this article looks at whether the co-manager differs from other (conventional, engaged and ambitious) types of works councils in regard to qualification processes and communication structures. Based on a written survey of all works councils it shows that co-managers make more use of further education offers and refer more often the acquired competences to other works councils? members by internal processes of knowledge transfer. The contact areas to the management are more pronounced without reducing the contacts to the unions. Additionally contacts to other works councils of public transport companies are emphasised; in this respect co-managers are manifestly more versatile and more sophisticated than their colleagues of the other works councils types.

description: A regularized version of Mixture Models is proposed to learn a principal graph from a distribution of $D$-dimensional data points. In the particular case of manifold learning for ridge detection, we assume that the underlying manifold can be modeled as a graph structure acting like a topological prior for the Gaussian clusters turning the problem into a maximum a posteriori estimation. Parameters of the model are iteratively estimated through an Expectation-Maximization procedure making the learning of the structure computationally efficient with guaranteed convergence for any graph prior in a polynomial time. We also embed in the formalism a natural way to make the algorithm robust to outliers of the pattern and heteroscedasticity of the manifold sampling coherently with the graph structure. The method uses a graph prior given by the minimum spanning tree that we extend using random sub-samplings of the dataset to take into account cycles that can be observed in the spatial distribution.

Assesment of Knowledge about Cervical Cancer and Barriers towards Cervical Cancer Screening among HIV Positive Women, in Health Centers of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Shiferaw, Saba
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common women cancer with 528,000 new cases each year worldwide. Current estimates indicate that every year 7095 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4732 die from the disease in Ethiopia. The magnitude of precancerous cervical cancer lesions as well as invasive cervical cancer is higher in HIV-infected women than others. Participation in screening for cervical cancer is poor among Ethiopian HIV patients. The awareness women have about the disease can play a vital role in the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Information regarding this area is very scares in HIV patient of Ethiopia, so this study aims to assess women's knowledge about cervical cancer and barriers to cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in health centers of Addis Ababa city. Methodology: A facility based cross sectional study design using both quantitative and qualitative method was conducted among 594 HIV positive women with age between 21and 65 years. Univariate and binary logistic regression analysis were performed. Chi square test was used and p-value < 0.05 was considered for multiple regressions. Open code analysis was used to code and categorize qualitative data, and then thematic analysis was employed. Result: Out of 581 women enrolled with mean age 34.9±7.7 years, 41.1% were married, 34.1% had primary school while 57.8% of participants have heard about cervical cancer. Only 21.3% were knowledgeable about cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening, 86.2% were willing to be screened and 10.8%% were already screened for cervical cancer. In multivariate analysis educational status and knowing someone with cervical cancer were associated with knowledge score with p < 0.05. Conclusion and recommendation: Knowledge regarding cervical cancer is poor among HIV positive women and screening rate was low. The most commonly identified barrier was lack of awareness, so it is needed to scale up health education regarding cervical cancer and screening methods for HIV positive women in Addis Ababa.

description: Simultaneous Kerr comb formation and second-harmonic generation with on-chip microresonators can greatly facilitate comb self-referencing for optical clocks and frequency metrology. Moreover, the presence of both second- and third-order nonlinearities results in complex cavity dynamics that is of high scientific interest but is still far from well understood. Here, we demonstrate that the interaction between the fundamental and the second-harmonic waves can provide an entirely new way of phase-matching for four-wave mixing in optical microresonators, enabling the generation of optical frequency combs in the normal dispersion regime, under conditions where comb creation is ordinarily prohibited. We derive new coupled time-domain mean-field equations and obtain simulation results showing good qualitative agreement with our experimental observations. Our findings provide a novel way of overcoming the dispersion limit for simultaneous Kerr comb formation and second-harmonic generation, which might prove especially important in the near-visible to visible range where several atomic transitions commonly used for stabilization of optical clocks are located and where the large normal material dispersion is likely to dominate.

Για τη μέτρηση των παραγόντων προσωπικότητας και ειδικότερα για τους παράγοντες του Νευρωτισμού, της Ευσυνειδησίας και της Συνεργατικότητας, χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο IPIP-50, ενώ για την μέτρηση της προβληματικής χρήσης και της μοναξιάς χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τα ερωτηματολόγια PIUQ-9 και UCLA-3. Βασικές υποθέσεις της έρευνας ήταν ότι 1) ο υψηλός Νευρωτισμός αναμένεται να σχετίζεται θετικά και να προβλέπει την PIU. Αντίθετα, η χαμηλή Ευσυνειδησία και Συνεργατικότητα αναμένεται να σχετίζονται αρνητικά με την PIU. 2) Αναμένεται ακόμη ότι οι υψηλές βαθμολογίες στην κλίμακας της Μοναξιάς θα σχετίζονται θετικά με αλλά και θα προβλέπουν την εκδήλωση PIU. 3) Ακόμη, υποτέθηκε ότι άτομα που εμφανίζουν υψηλά σκορ στον Νευρωτισμό και ταυτόχρονα βιώνουν την συνθήκη του εγκλεισμού ως περισσότερο μοναχική και με λιγότερη κοινωνική υποστήριξη, θα διατρέχουν τον υψηλότερο κίνδυνο εκδήλωσης PIU. Όλες οι υποθέσεις επαληθεύτηκαν, εκτός από την περίπτωση της αρνητικής συσχέτισης της Συνεργατικότητας με την PIU. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας θέτουν σημαντικές προεκτάσεις για περαιτέρω διερεύνηση του πεδίου, ειδικά στον τομέα της πρόληψης και της θεραπείας.
description: The purpose of the present study is to assess and examine the relationship between the 5 factors of personality (especially Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness), feelings of loneliness and problematic internet use (PIU). To this end, the IPIP-50, UCLA 3 and PIUQ-9 scales were administered respectively. The basic hypotheses of the study are presented as follows: 1) Higher Neuroticism is expected to positively correlate with and predict PIU. Also, high scores in Conscientiousness and Agreeableness are expected to correlate negatively with PIU. 2) High scores in the Loneliness scale (UCLA 3) will also correlate with and predict PIU. 3) Finally, it was hypothesized that High scores in both Neuroticism and Loneliness (eg with higher anxiety and less social support) should have the most detrimental and impactful effect in PIU, due to their combined effect. All hypotheses were confirmed except for the negative correlation of Agreeableness with PIU. The results of the present study pose important implication for further research in this field, especially in developing preventive and therapeutic interventions.

The phase diagram of the iron nitrides is very complex. Over a broad range of nitrogen concentrations they are ferromagnetic metals. The spin density is concentrated around the iron atoms and the value of the magnetic moment of the iron atom is characteristic of the number of nearest neighbour nitrogen atoms. A careful analysis of the results of a series of DFT calculations shows, that the strong covalent iron-nitrogen bond causes the characteristic dependence of the magnetic moment on the nitrogen environment. On the basis of this analysis a simple model is proposed, that correctly describes the decrease of the magnetic moment of the unit cell with increasing nitrogen concentration, that is found in the DFT calculations. However, close to the composition Fe_2N the calculations (and the model as well) give a ferromagnetic ground state. In contrast to this, the experimental results rule out a ferromagnetic ground state. It seems, that current exchange and correlation functionals do not describe the electronic structure of the iron nitrides with the composition Fe_2N. The strong iron-nitrogen bonding affects the nitrogen diffusionas well. The activation energy and the transition rate between adjacent interstitial sites were calculated for typical diffusion paths in the ferromagnetic phase of gamma-Fe_4N and epsilon-Fe_3N. In the paramagnetic phase the activation energies are significantly smaller, so that a higher transition rate can be expected. Possible links to the observed disorder of nitrogen in paramagnetic samples are discussed. The second class of nitrides studied are those of the composition A_3N_4, where A in {Si, Ge, Sn}. The ground state structure of these insulators was determined by calculating the energy vs. volume curves for the compounds in the phenakite and the spinell structure. Whereas Si_3N_4 and Ge_3N_4 cristallize in the phenakite structure, the ground state structure of Sn_3N_4 is the spinell structure. It is shown, that the chemical bond between the group IV element and nitrogenis of a mixed covalent-ionic type. The heavier the group IV element, the larger is the ionic contribution to the bond. Thus, for Sn_3N_4 the close-packed spinell structure is energetically more favourable than the phenakit structure.

description: We study theoretically the effect of a rotating electric field on a diffusive nanowire and find an effect that is analogous to spin pumping, which refers to the generation of spin through a rotating magnetic field. The electron spin couples to the electric field because the particle motion induces an effective magnetic field in its rest frame. In a diffusive system the velocity of the particle, and therefore also its effective magnetic field, rapidly and randomly changes direction. Nevertheless, we demonstrate analytically and via a physical argument why the combination of the two effects described above produces a finite magnetization along the axis of rotation. This manifests as a measurable spin-voltage in the range of tens of microvolts.

description: We consider an asymptotically free vectorial gauge theory, with gauge group $G$ and $N_f$ fermions in a representation $R$ of $G$, having an infrared (IR) zero in the beta function at $α_{IR}$. We present general formulas for scheme-independent series expansions of quantities, evaluated at $α_{IR}$, as powers of an $N_f$-dependent expansion parameter, $Δ_f$. First, we apply these to calculate the derivative $dβ/dα$ evaluated at $α_{IR}$, denoted $β'_{IR}$, which is equivalent to the anomalous dimension of the ${\rm Tr}(F_{μν}F^{μν})$ operator, to order $Δ_f^4$ for general $G$ and $R$, and to order $Δ_f^5$ for $G={\rm SU}(3)$ and fermions in the fundamental representation. Second, we calculate the scheme-independent expansions of the anomalous dimension of the flavor-nonsinglet and flavor-singlet bilinear fermion antisymmetric Dirac tensor operators up to order $Δ_f^3$. The results are compared with rigorous upper bounds on anomalous dimensions of operators in conformally invariant theories. Our other results include an analysis of the limit $N_c \to \infty$, $N_f \to \infty$ with $N_f/N_c$ fixed, calculation and analysis of Padé approximants, and comparison with conventional higher-loop calculations of $β'_{IR}$ and anomalous dimensions as power series in $α$.

description: The topic of this paper is: "The life of Makarios Notaras (1731-1805): The acceptance and consolidation of the Fathers in the Modern History of Greece." The purpose of this paper is to study a great teacher of the Church and of our Nation, one of the most brilliant and charismatic figures of the hagiography of modern times, who emerged as a pious and humble hierarch, the Founder of Philokalia, a luminous hermit with the gift of miracles, a renowned mentor of neo-martyrs, a valuable writer and miraculous saint, who remained willingly in obscurity, although he acted in a pioneering, revolutionary and very creative way. Through this work we have been given the opportunity to study the life of Saint Makarios of Notaras, and to see the acceptance and consolidation of the fathers in the modern history of Greece.

description: Computer-aided analysis of biological images typically requires extensive training on large-scale annotated datasets, which is not viable in many situations. In this paper we present GAN-DL, a Discriminator Learner based on the StyleGAN2 architecture, which we employ for self-supervised image representation learning in the case of fluorescent biological images. We show that Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks combined with linear Support Vector Machines enable high-throughput compound screening based on raw images. We demonstrate this by classifying active and inactive compounds tested for the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection in VERO and HRCE cell lines. In contrast to previous methods, our deep learning based approach does not require any annotation besides the one that is normally collected during the sample preparation process. We test our technique on the RxRx19a Sars-CoV-2 image collection. The dataset consists of fluorescent images that were generated to assess the ability of regulatory-approved or in late-stage clinical trials compound to modulate the in vitro infection from SARS-CoV-2 in both VERO and HRCE cell lines. We show that our technique can be exploited not only for classification tasks, but also to effectively derive a dose response curve for the tested treatments, in a self-supervised manner. Lastly, we demonstrate its generalization capabilities by successfully addressing a zero-shot learning task, consisting in the categorization of four different cell types of the RxRx1 fluorescent images collection.

description: Owing to growing demands by customers for comfort and safety in cars, the weight of the respective individual automobile increases constantly. Hence, the role of construction materials, such as aluminium and magnesium alloys in car body production becomes ever more important. Especially magnesium is highly attractive because of its small density, its positive mechanic-technological properties, and the ready availability as raw material. It is known that magnesium has a reduced formability at room temperature and needs to be heated up to temperatures at around 300°C to be deformable with technologically useful forming rates. So therefore to form sheets made of magnesium alloys, the workpiece has to be heated previously. The idea of combining the processes "inductive heating" and "pulsed magnetic forming" led to the following research work. The aim was to develop a tool that combines both processes to be able to heat up the forming zone at the workpiece to a significant temperature and to form it afterwards without changing the tool. However, in order to manufacture sheet metal components from magnesium innovative manufacturing technologies are necessary. The Institute for Machine Tools and Factory Management (IWF) carries out research and develops solutions in the field of pulsed magnetic forming.
