description: Porcine cysticercosis (PC) infection is a zoonotic disease of public health concern globally, caused by Taenia solium larvae. The prevalence of PC infection is highest where domestic pigs scavenge for food in poor sanitary conditions. Western Kenya, especially peri urban areas, have a high concentration of domestic pigs reared under the scavenging system, which likely expose pigs and humans to PC infections resulting in huge economic losses. The objectives of this study were to determine PC prevalence, PC management practices and loss in carcass value associated with PC infection along the pork value chain in Busia and Kakamega Counties of Western Kenya. Data was obtained on random sample of 162 farms with 400 pigs in cross-sectional survey of randomly selected villages. PC infection was based on T. solium cysts presence and Ag-ELISA test. The mean prevalence of T. solium cysts within the scavenging pig’ population sample was 3.8 at the farms and 5.3% at the slaughter slabs while PC infection prevalence from meat inspection was 1.8%. Management practices at farm did not target controlling PC because majority of farmers reared pigs in free range scavenging (69.1%) though use of pit latrines (72.8%) was high but majority were not aware (82.7%) of the link between pig management system and PC, not aware (75.9%) of T. solium parasite and not aware (78.4%) of risk factors in the transmission of PC infection. The butchers associated pork from slaughter slabs (76.9%) and home slaughters (73.1%) with high risk. Consumers were in strong agreement that pork in the market is safe (86%), pork from the slaughter slabs is safer than pork from the farms (92%) and that pork from butcheries is safer than pork from the eateries (82%). PC infection in the sample villages was associated with an estimated annual loss of Kes 547,969.29 (US$ 5,478.70) worth of carcasses from meat inspection and would be Kes 1,613,465.10 (US$ 16,134.7) if carcasses were condemned on results of Ag-ELISA testing surveillance. While results provide evidence of PC infection being prevalent in Western Kenya and low awareness among farmers of management strategies for PC control and prevention, consumers perceive pork in the market as safe. The prevalence levels and low farmer awareness warrants enforcing mandatory pig confinement and effective use of latrines, effective meat inspection at local slaughter slabs and strengthening public education to create awareness on transmission risk factors and their control and prevention. Further studies should identify different Taenia species in cysticercoids pigs in Western Kenya to inform life cycles patterns for appropriate management intervention.

description: Mit dem Media Services Act, 2016 ist in Tansania am 3. Februar 2017 ein neues Mediengesetz in Kraft getreten, das die Pressefreiheit drastisch einschränkt und in klarem Widerspruch zur Verfassung von 1977 steht. Die umstrittenste Bestimmung betrifft die Verpflichtung von JournalistInnen zur Akkreditierung. Weitere Regelungen – wie z. B. die Möglichkeit zur Einstellung von Printmedien – entstammen früheren Gesetzen, deren Wurzeln bis in die Kolonialzeit reichen. Der Beitrag analysiert die unterschiedlichen Verordnungen seit 1912 und dokumentiert die Auswirkungen auf die journalistische Produktion in der jeweiligen Periode. Dabei zeigt sich, dass einmal eingeführte Kontrollmechanismen in den nachfolgenden Gesetzen weitgehend beibehalten wurden. Der Media Services Act, 2016 kann daher als drakonisches Mediengesetz mit kolonialen Wurzeln beschrieben werden.

description: Kritik an den harten Lebensbedingungen der Koranschüler ist in Senegal zwar nicht neu, erlangte jedoch mit dem international wieder erwachenden Interesse für Formen des „Menschenhandels“ in den 2000er Jahren eine neue Hochphase. Da viele der Kinder in Koranschulen untergebracht sind, die weit entfernt von ihrem Herkunftsort liegen, und für ihre maîtres täglich festgesetzte Beträge erbetteln müssen, trifft die durch das sogenannte Palermo-Protokoll (UN 2000) festgelegte Definition des Menschenhandels aus trans- und internationaler Perspektive auf sie zu. Diese Interpretation konfligiert aber nicht nur mit der religiös-konservativer Akteure in Senegal, für welche das Betteln integraler Bestandteil einer holistischen islamischen Ausbildung sowie Folge einer staatlichen Diskriminierung des Koranschulwesens ist, sondern auch mit den alltagsweltlichen Assoziationen, die von der Bevölkerung mit dem Begriff des Menschenhandels verbunden werden. Meine Analyse richtet ihr Augenmerk auf den Umgang staatlicher, zivilgesellschaftlicher und religiöser Akteure in Senegal mit dem – temporär – politisch und ökonomisch machtvollen Diskurs um Menschenhandel. Sie zeigt, dass bestimmte transnationale Konzepte zwar über unterschiedliche geographische und soziokulturelle Kontexte hinweg Wirkung entfalten, dabei jedoch Übersetzungsprozessen und wandelnden Sinngebungen ausgesetzt sind.

description: Directed, long-range and self-propelled transport of droplets on solid surfaces, especially on water repellent surfaces, is crucial for many applications from water harvesting to bio-analytical devices. One appealing strategy to achieve the preferential transport is to passively control the surface wetting gradients, topological or chemical, to break the asymmetric contact line and overcome the resistance force. Despite extensive progress, the directional droplet transport is limited to small transport velocity and short transport distance due to the fundamental trade-off: rapid transport of droplet demands a large wetting gradient, whereas long-range transport necessitates a relatively small wetting gradient. Here, we report a radically new strategy that resolves the bottleneck through the creation of an unexplored gradient in surface charge density (SCD). By leveraging on a facile droplet printing on superamphiphobic surfaces as well as the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the creation of the preferential SCD, we demonstrate the self-propulsion of droplets with a record-high velocity over an ultra-long distance without the need for additional energy input. Such a Leidenfrost-like droplet transport, manifested at ambient condition, is also genetic, which can occur on a variety of substrates such as flexible and vertically placed surfaces. Moreover, distinct from conventional physical and chemical gradients, the new dimension of gradient in SCD can be programmed in a rewritable fashion. We envision that our work enriches and extends our capability in the manipulation of droplet transport and would find numerous potential applications otherwise impossible.

description: Symmetry and topology play key roles in the identification of phases of matter and their properties. Both concepts are central to understanding quantum Hall ferromagnets (QHFMs), two-dimensional electronic phases with spontaneously broken spin or pseudospin symmetry whose wavefunctions also have topological properties. Domain walls between distinct broken symmetry QHFM phases are predicted to host gapless one-dimensional (1D) modes that emerge due to a topological change of the underlying electronic wavefunctions at such interfaces. Although a variety of QHFMs have been identified in different materials, probing interacting electronic modes at these domain walls has not yet been accomplished. Here we use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to directly visualize the spontaneous formation of boundary modes, within a sign-changing topological gap, at domain walls between different valley-polarized quantum Hall phases on the surface of bismuth. By changing the valley occupation and the corresponding number of modes at the domain wall, we can realize different regimes where the valley-polarized channels are either metallic or develop a spectroscopic gap. This behavior is a consequence of Coulomb interactions constrained by the symmetry-breaking valley flavor, which determines whether electrons in the topological modes can backscatter, making these channels a unique class of interacting Luttinger liquids.

description: Recent observations by Bania et al. (2002) measure He3 versus oxygen in Galactic HII regions, finding that He3/H is within a factor of 2 of the solar abundance for [O/H] > -0.6. These results are consistent with a flat behavior in this metallicity range, tempting one to deduce from these observations a primordial value for the He3 abundance, which could join D and Li7 as an indicator of the cosmic baryon density. However, using the same data, we show that it is not possible to obtain a strong constraint on the baryon density range. This is due to (i) the intrinsically weak sensitivity of the primordial He3 abundance to the baryon density; (ii) the limited range in metallicity of the sample; (iii) the intrinsic scatter in the data; and (iv) our limited understanding of the chemical and stellar evolution of this isotope. Consequently, the He3 observations correspond to an extended range of baryon-to-photon ratio, eta = (2.2 - 6.5) x 10^{-10}, which diminishes the role of He3 as a precision baryometer. On the other hand, once the baryon-to-photon ratio is determined by the CMB, D/H, or Li7/H, the primordial value of He3/H can be inferred. Henceforth new observations of Galactic He3, can in principle greatly improve our understanding of stellar and/or chemical evolution and reconcile the observations of the HII regions and those of the planetary nebulae.

description: Present within this thesis is a critical edition of the works of ʿAḅed-Mšīḥā (10th century CE) written in Classical Syriac along with an accompanying English translation thereto. The edited and translated works consist of admonitions, epistles, and histories. These admonitions are attributed to ʿAḅed-Mšīḥā of Ḥīrtā and were written to hermits and monks in Classical Syriac. However, the question arises whether this work (attributed to ʿAḅed-Mšīḥā) is the complete full-text or simply an abridgement of the original. At this present time, it is quite difficult to make a conclusive argument.ʿAḅed-Mšīḥā, or the various authors and scribes for that matter, compile the Admonitions in chapters beginning with a common formula (Syriac: ܐܚܝܫܡ ܕܒܥܕ ܗܠܝܕ ܕܟ ܗܠܝܕ). Generally, the Admonitions are addressed to hermits, monks, and brothers, with a focus on theological, Christological, pastoral, and philosophical teachings. Epistles and replies to Domitius the Confessor, Stephen, Simon, Bacchus, Būḳzīd, Sargīs, Abraham, Ksōsṭāros, Moses d’Beṭ Sayādē, and Būḳtīšoʿ are all evident within the Admonitions. Furthermore, they include themes such as: How one should depart the world to become a monk, faith, love, virginity, leadership, fear of God, anger, jealousy, dreams, drunkenness (of wine), prayer, and the interaction between monks and minors. Finally, ʿAḅed-Mšīḥā makes references to and quotes the gospel (partially paraphrased), Pauline letters, prophetical literature, and Eusebius of Caesarea with a general mention of the Egyptian Fathers.

Culture, difference and social change: Theoretizations by Molara Ogundipe and Obioma Nnaemeka
Creators: name: John, Clara
Publisher: name: Stichproben - Wiener Zeitschrift für kritische Afrikastudien / Vienna Journal of African Studies
Year: 2017

description: The article departs from an argument by the Nigerian political scientist Claude Ake which he presented at the International Conference on Popular Participation in the Recovery and Development Process in Africa in Arusha, Tanzania, in February 1990. Ake asserts the idea of building on the indigenous in development processes in African contexts, of grounding social change practices within local people's spheres of relevance. An exploration of the underlying understanding of tradition, culture and collectivity in Ake's argument prompts a more differentiated approach that takes the contested character of these phenomena into account. The Nigerian scholars and activists Molara Ogundipe and Obioma Nnaemeka, centering their respective works around the life realities of African women, offer theoretical frameworks for such a critical and differentiating examination of social conditions in their oppressive and empowering dimensions. A reading of Ogundipe and Nnaemeka as cultural theorists enables an inquiry of the relationship between culture, difference and social change in their theoretizations. The analysis shows how the authors' conceptualizations of difference impede the construction of a simplified opposition between powerful and powerless and how the relationship to the past, certain traditions and cultural practices can contribute to social change aimed at empowerment, emphasizing the significance of negotiations over meaning.

description: With the development of small satellites, planar array has become a promising configuration in the very low frequency (VLF: 3--30 kHz) space-borne transmitting system in the near future. In this manuscript, a theory towards a VLF planar array immersed in magnetized plasmas is proposed, which contains both closed-form expressions and numerical techniques. The kernel function for the planar array is derived from the analytical expression of the field radiated by a point current source, and the integral equation is set up based on the boundary condition. By introducing the ten-term form of current distribution and the digital filter of fast Hankel transformation, the matrix of the integral equation is solved with considerable accuracy to determine the current distribution and fed-point impedance under various parameters. With the help of the induced EMF method, the mutual coupling impedance is also determined and discussed. All calculated data are presented in this item.

description: Due to the popularity of smart mobile phones and context-aware technology, various contextual data relevant to users' diverse activities with mobile phones is available around us. This enables the study on mobile phone data and context-awareness in computing, for the purpose of building data-driven intelligent mobile applications, not only on a single device but also in a distributed environment for the benefit of end users. Based on the availability of mobile phone data, and the usefulness of data-driven applications, in this paper, we discuss about mobile data science that involves in collecting the mobile phone data from various sources and building data-driven models using machine learning techniques, in order to make dynamic decisions intelligently in various day-to-day situations of the users. For this, we first discuss the fundamental concepts and the potentiality of mobile data science to build intelligent applications. We also highlight the key elements and explain various key modules involving in the process of mobile data science. This article is the first in the field to draw a big picture, and thinking about mobile data science, and it's potentiality in developing various data-driven intelligent mobile applications. We believe this study will help both the researchers and application developers for building smart data-driven mobile applications, to assist the end mobile phone users in their daily activities.

description: We discuss numerical solutions of Einstein's field equation describing static, spherically symmetric conglomerations of a photon gas. These equations imply a back reaction of the metric on the energy density of the photon gas according to Tolman's equation. The 3-fold of solutions corresponds to a class of physically different solutions which is parameterized by only two quantities, e.g. mass and surface temperature. The energy density is typically concentrated on a shell because the center contains a repelling singularity, which can, however, not be reached by timelike or null geodesics. The physical relevance of these solutions is completely open, although their existence may raise some doubts w.r. to the stability of black holes.

description: For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) owing to its low computational cost. However, the exact KS potential can be challenging to approximate, for example in the presence of localized subsystems where the exact potential is known to exhibit pathological features such as spatial steps. By modeling two electrons, each localized in a distinct potential well, we illustrate that the step feature has no counterpart in MBPTs (including Hartree-Fock and GW) or hybrid methods involving Fock exchange because the spatial non-locality of the self-energy renders such pathological behavior unnecessary. We present a quantitative illustration of the orbital-dependent nature of the non-local potential, and a numerical demonstration of Kohn's concept of the nearsightedness for self energies, when two distant subsystems are combined, in contrast to the KS potential. These properties emphasize the value of self-energy-based approximations in developing future approaches within KS-like theories.

description: Im zweiten Band von Gustav Nachtigals Reisebericht Saharâ und Sûdân (1881) befindet sich nach Seite 628 eine Bildplatte, welche den deutschen Sklaverei-Diskurs so nachhaltig prägte wie kaum eine andere Illustration dieses publizistischen Feldes. Die Abbildung ist Bestandteil eines komplexen Diskurses um die Verfasstheit afrikanischer Gesellschaften an der Grenze zwischen Sudan und Kongobecken. Hier „Baumwohnungen in Kimre“ unterschrieben, wurde die Abbildung in drei Phasen besonders intensiv rezipiert: einmal in Auswahlen und Nacherzählungen von Nachtigals Reisen in der deutschen Kolonialzeit, dann in popularisierenden Darstellungen der 1930er und 1940er Jahre, und dann noch einmal in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum afrikanischen Sklavereiwesen seit den 1960er Jahren. In allen drei Phasen erfuhr das Bild vereindeutigende Interpretationen als Veranschaulichung der Grausamkeit von Sklavenjagden. In der Rezeptionsgeschichte wurden die auf einem Baum Verschanzten zum Inbegriff des Afrikanisch-Indigenen; der ethnographische europäische Blick kondensierte sich zu einem moralischen Narrativ, das Urteile über Verwerflichkeit und Schutzwürdigkeit der abgebildeten Parteien und entsprechendes Handeln nahelegte.

description: Scarcity and seasonality of supply of cereals (for human and livestock feed) causes fluctuation in quantity, quality and increase in feed cost. This results in poor livestock growth, low reproductive performance and high production cost. Prosopis juliflora pods have been used to mitigate this, but success has been hampered by their high content of anti-nutritive compounds (ANC); tannins, crude fibre (CF) phytic acid and aflatoxins. Fermentation has been reported to reduce ANC concentrations. This study investigated the effects of fermentation technology in enhancement of the pods’ nutritional value for rabbit diets. Mature pods from Marigat, Baringo County were fermented; spontaneously, with cultures of Lactobacillus salivarius (SL), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) and a mixture of LS/SC for 24, 48 and 2 hours. Amino acid profile, acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), proximate and ANC analyses of maize, fermented ground mature Prosopis pods (FGMPP) and unfermented ground mature Prosopis pods (UGMPP) were conducted. In a completely randomized design (CRD), a digestibility experiment was conducted using 15 adult bucks. In a randomized complete block design (RCBD) a feeding trial was conducted using 60, 42- week-old growers and a lactation experiment using 15 primiparous does in a CRD. Different statistical softwares were used in data analyses; SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics; probabilities, quantiles and random sample (PQRS) for randomization and descriptive statistics and SAS for data analysis in experimental designs. Tukey’s HSD was used to separate significant means at (p˂0.05). Except for aflatoxin, all fermentation methods reduced the ANC and improved (p˂0.05) the crude protein (CP) and amino acid profiles. Fermentation and addition of cornstarch affected (p˂0.05) dry matter intake (DMI) and digestibilities of dry matter (DM), CF, CP, ash and ether extract (EE). Grower rabbits offered diet with 30% FGMPP exhibited higher (p˂0.05) average daily gain (ADG), lower mortality, and there was treatment effect (p˂0.05) on blood haematological and metabolite indices. There was no treatment effect (p>0.05) for carcass characteristics except dressing % and caecal pH (p˂0.05). Inclusion of FGMPP and UGMPP had no effect (p>0.05) on overall rating of descriptive sensory attributes of meat. There was economic benefit (p˂0.05) of incorporating 30% FGMPP in grower rabbit diets. There was no treatment effect (p>0.05) on lactation performance. The study recommended the inclusion of 30% FGMPP in diets of grower and lactating rabbits.

description: Summary: TP53-mutant blood cancers remain a clinical challenge. BH3-mimetic drugs inhibit BCL-2 pro-survival proteins, inducing cancer cell apoptosis. Despite acting downstream of p53, functional p53 is required for maximal cancer cell killing by BH3-mimetics through an unknown mechanism. Here, we report p53 is activated following BH3-mimetic induced mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, leading to BH3-only protein induction and thereby potentiating the pro-apoptotic signal. TP53-deficient lymphomas lack this feedforward loop, providing opportunities for survival and disease relapse after BH3-mimetic treatment. The therapeutic barrier imposed by defects in TP53 can be overcome by direct activation of the cGAS/STING pathway, which promotes apoptosis of blood cancer cells through p53-independent BH3-only protein upregulation. Combining clinically relevant STING agonists with BH3-mimetic drugs efficiently kills TRP53/TP53-mutant mouse B lymphoma, human NK/T lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia cells. This represents a promising therapy regime that can be fast-tracked to tackle TP53-mutant blood cancers in the clinic.

description: The importance of rigorous hive management in apiculture, particularly when aligned with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) bee studies, cannot be overstated. While the enclosed methods may not suit large-scale bee farming, the Apiary Management system presented in this paper is a valuable solution for those who wish to maintain meticulous records of their bee colonies. This system holds distinct advantages in fostering accuracy, transparency, and disease management for apiarists engaging in research pursuits or recreational beekeeping. One significant advantage of this approach is its specific hive equipment allocation, preventing equipment mixing across colonies. At a time when bee populations face threats from multiple diseases, the apiary management system serves as a proactive tool to protect colony health and resilience, making it an essential asset for apicultural research. Key to the apiary management system is the creation of a detailed audit trail for every aspect of equipment and processes relevant to each colony. This thorough record-keeping extends to the colony’s status, providing a solid foundation of information for bee studies. This data trail promotes transparency from the initial colony installation, fostering a culture of accountability and traceability in line with GLP principles, ultimately enhancing the reliability of research outcomes.

description: This is the report about the first GATE Research Meeting, which took place on April 4th, 2025, in a hybrid format, welcoming in-person and online participants at Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Germany. This open-call meeting marked a foundational step in aligning the research direction of the Open Science Learning GATE initiative and served as a collaborative exchange of ideas across disciplines.

Organised by the Zentrum für Konstruktive Erziehungswissenschaft (ZKE) and GATE partners, the meeting aimed to explore how data collected by GATE could contribute to an actionable, community-driven GATE Report, informing about emerging and changing Open Science (OS) guiding thoughts and practices. It brought together GATE’s core team and a panel of external experts, each contributing insights into how to model, analyse, and translate the qualitative data gathered from Open Science supporters.

The Programme was organised as follows:

Part 1: What is the GATE’s internal research process?

Welcome from the GATE supporters, Katharina Miller (MIK)

The GATE service: Prompting and GATE data, Marie Alavi (CAU) & Anika Müller-Karabil (MIK)

About the GATE - Research Challenges and Gaps, Prof. Dr. Julia Priess-Buchheit (ZKE)

Part 2: Answers from external researchers

The GATE Report and Knowledge Graphs, Dr. Daniel Mietchen: Using the GATE data and building a design pattern for organising the guiding thoughts of Open Science, including their semantic relationships.

How could the GATE Report become an ontology?, Tim Errington, PhD: Reiterating prompting and modelling opens a door towards the representation of Open Science fields, good practices, and relations between these practices.

Modelling the GATE Data for the Target Group from the European Research Area, Prof. Dr. Thalheim: Starting with the target group's needs, conceptual modelling is a way to convey information.

The meeting highlighted that the GATE’s potential lies in its qualitative richness, community participation, and capacity for adaptable infrastructure. With constructive input from all speakers, several next steps were outlined:

Refining data modelling through qualitative analysis methods and possibly AI-supported tools.

Building formal vocabularies and graph models to structure GATE's open-ended responses into machine-readable formats.

Developing stakeholder-specific outputs—from granular reports to web-based dashboards.

Preparing the 2025 GATE Report, targeting release in autumn, using insights from the meeting to shape content and format.

Fostering iterative collaboration, including needs assessment with community stakeholders and co-designing future meetings for more interactive, discussion-based formats.

description: By using numerical simulations we show that the 4D $J=\pm 1$ Edwards Anderson spin glass in magnetic field undergoes a mean field like phase transition. We use a dynamical approach: we simulate large lattices (of volume $V$) and work out the behavior of the system in limit where both $t$ and $V$ go to infinity, but where the limit $V \to \infty$ is taken first. By showing that the dynamic overlap $q$ converges to a value smaller than the static one we exhibit replica symmetry breaking. The critical exponents are compatible with the ones obtained by mean field computations.

description: In the standard paradigm for cosmological structure formation, clustering develops from initially random-phase (Gaussian) density fluctuations in the early Universe by a process of gravitational instability. The later, non-linear stages of this process involve Fourier mode-mode interactions that result in a complex pattern of non-random phases. We present a novel mapping technique that reveals mode coupling induced by this form of nonlinear interaction and allows it to be quantified statistically. The phase mapping technique circumvents the difficulty of the circular characteristic of phi_k and illustrates the statistical significance of phase difference at the same time. This generalized method on phases allows us to detect weak coupling of phases on any Delta k scales.

description: The metallic means (also known as metallic ratios) may be defined as the limiting ratio of consecutive terms of sequences connected to the Fibonacci sequence via the INVERT transform. For example, the Pell sequence (invert transform of the Fibonacci sequence) gives the so-called silver mean, and the invert transform of the Pell sequence leads to the bronze mean. The limiting ratio of the Fibonacci sequence itself is known as the golden mean or ratio. We introduce a new family of kth-degree metallic means obtained through invert transforms of the generalized kth-order Fibonacci sequence. As it is the case for k=2, each generalized metallic mean is shown to be the unique positive root of a kth-degree polynomial determined by the sequence.
