title: Selling 'Favela' - Favelatourismus in Brasilien am Beispiel von der Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro
Creators: name: Mühlberger, Dominik
Year: 2014

description: Die vorliegende Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Inszenierung des brasilianischen Favelatourismus auf den Webseiten von sieben Favelatouranbieter_innen Rocinhas. Grundlegendes Ziel der Studie ist die Ausarbeitung von Konvergenzen und Divergenzen hinsichtlich der Präsentation der Favelatourangebote. Anhand einer vergleichenden Inhaltsanalyse der Text- und Bildinhalte werden die diversen Darstellungsmuster der Favelatouren erfasst und die Ergebnisse schließlich in einer Typologie zusammengefasst. Zu Beginn der Untersuchung werden elementare Definitionen, die angeführten Theorien und die Analysemethoden vorgestellt. Infolge wirft die Studie einen Blick auf den historischen Hintergrund des 'modernen' Slummings und führt vergleichend aktuelle Schauplätze des globalen Slumtourismus in Südafrika und Indien an. Fokussiert auf Rio de Janeiro wird die spezifische Thematik des Favelatourismus näher betrachtet und der zentrale Ort des Favelatourismus, Rocinha, vorgestellt. Im analytischen Teil der Untersuchung wird, wie oben angeführt, die Vermarktung des Phänomens anhand einer vergleichenden Inhaltsanalyse von sieben Webseiten von Favelatouranbieter_innen Rocinhas exemplarisch untersucht. Die Analyseergebnisse und die Theorien werden infolgedessen verknüpft um eine Typologie der Webseitendarstellungen zu erstellen.
description: This thesis analyzes the presentation of Brazilian favela tourism on the web pages of seven providers offering trips to Rocinha. The objective of this work is to determine similarities and differences regarding the 'staging' of favela tourism. By means of an extensive analysis of both visual and textual content, various modes of representation can be identified, isolated and ultimately used to provide a new kind of marketing typology. The introduction to the subject matter focuses mainly on elementary definitions, theories and the method of analysis. The thesis then tries to illustrate the historical background of 'modern' slumming and refers to regions that have recently become the focus of global slum tourism such as India and South Africa. Central to the analysis is the phenomenon of favela tourism in Rio de Janeiro, especially the district of Rocinha. Different touristic marketing strategies shall be studied by applying the method of comparative content analysis to the websites of seven favela tour providers. The results of the analyses will then be connected to the theories previously presented to create a model of how favela tourism is marketed online.

description: We examine the pricing decision of a multi-product monopolist in a two-sided market where the type structure of buyers on one side of the market is an important determinant of profit on the other side. In this situation it might be optimal to set prices below the maximum sellout price and to ration demand by a random mechanism in the first market to reach a type distribution more favorable for sales in the other market. The model establishes demand quality as an alternative link between markets in addition to standard quantitative effects and explains frequently observed underpricing, e.g. in the (sports) entertainment industry. It also provides an explanation for the effort a monopolist incurs to deter from resale.

description: The function of query improvement is to speed up query evaluation. The query improver frees the user from inputing efficient queries. The Rule-Based Query Improver is a component of TAU--a Database System Laboratory. It is a program written in C which improves the query given to it according to a set of rules. The program interacts with the database machine component of TAU, that is, the relative efficiencies or costs of the algorithms used by the database machine are available to the Improver. The rules used by the Improver can easily be changed to make it adapt to different environments, and can be experimented with for database research. This is unlike current query optimizers, which are hard coded, and hence static.

Fig. 21
 Taxonomy. Four species of Dermanura Gervais, 1856 are found in Brazil: D. anderseni (Osgood, 1916), D. bogotensis (Andersen, 1906), D. cinerea Gervais, 1856, and D. gnoma (Handley, 1987) (Nogueira et al. 2014). Dermanura gnoma can be separated from the other three species by the presence of a third lower molar (two in the other species) (Simmons and Voss 1998, Marques-Aguiar 2008, Lim and Engstrom 2001, Díaz et al. 2016). D. cinerea has the dorsal side of the uropatagium almost naked, without hairs extending beyond the posterior edge, while in D. anderseni and D. bogotensis it is conspicuously furred and the hairs extending beyond the posterior edge (Gonçalves and Gregorin 2004 Marques-Aguiar 2008, Lim et al. 2008, Calderón and Pacheco 2012, Díaz et al. 2016, Reis et al. 2017, Rocha et al. 2017b). Specimens from PECB (ZSP 035, 036; see Table 7 for measurements) presented bicolored dorsal fur with mid brown basis and dark brown tips, bicolored ventral fur with light brown basis and grayish brown tips, uropatagium almost naked with a shallow notch, and yellowish brown to bright yellow noseleaf and ear edges.
Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in the Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and Cerrado biomes, in the states of Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, Pará, Amapá, Roraima, Tocantins, Maranhão, Piauí, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina (Reis et al. 2013), with many records pending review (Reis et al. 2017). In São Paulo state, the species is recorded only in three locations of the coastal Atlantic Forest (Garbino 2016).
Field observations. One of the eight (5 males and 3 females) individuals was captured in a mist-net elevated 8 m over a stream in sampling site M27, and the other seven were taken in mist-nets set at ground-level in the sampling sites M21, M22, M23, M25, M27 and M28 (Appendix 1). Captures occurred in April, August and September. One pregnant female was captured in August.

description: Indian Amiseginae and Loboscelidiinae
At present, only one species of the subfamily Amiseginae, Indothrix longicornis Krombein, 1957, is recorded from India. Nevertheless, the occurrence of Amiseginae for India is largely underrated. The diversity of this subfamily was studied by Krombein (1980, 1983) in Sri Lanka, where he found 10 Amiseginae genera and 20 species, namely: Atoposega rieki (Krombein, 1957); Baeosega humida Krombein, 1983; Baeosega laticeps Krombein, 1983; Baeosega torrida Krombein, 1983; Cladobethylus aridulus Krombein, 1980; Cladobethylus ceylonicus Krombein, 1980; Imasega rufithorax Krombein, 1983; Indothrix wijesinhei Krombein, 1983; Isegama aridula (Krombein, 1980); Isegama meaculpa Krombein, 1983; Mahinda saltator Krombein 1983; Perissosega venablei Krombein, 1983; Saltasega bella Krombein, 1983; Saltasega distorta Krombein 1983; Serendibula deraniyagalai Krombein, 1980; Serendibula gracilis Krombein, 1983; Serendibula insolita Krombein, 1983; Serendibula karunaratnei Krombein, 1983; Serendibula kasyapai Krombein, 1983; Serendibula paradoxa Krombein, 1983. Some of these species, and likely some still undescribed ones, should be distributed in India too.
The occurrence of Lobosceliidinae in the country is also underestimated. Currently only two species are known: Loboscelidia incompleta Kimsey, 2012 and Loboscelidia indica Kimsey, 1988. Another two species are distributed in Sri Lanka: Loboscelidia atra Krombein, 1983 and Loboscelidia castanea Krombein, 1983. More than forty species of Lobosceliidinae are known in the Oriental region (Kimsey 2012) and therefore other species of Loboscelidia are expected for India as well. Although nothing is known about their biology, they were considered as egg parasitoids of walking stick insects (Phasmatodea), and their peculiar structural modifications imply a myrmecophilous behaviour (Krombein 1983; Kimsey 2012). It was recently supposed that also members of Rhadinoscelidia Kimsey, 1988, the second known genus of Loboscelidiinae, may be myrmecophilous (Hisasue & Mita 2020). This unusual behaviour in Chrysididae could explain why Loboscelidia and Rhadinoscelidia have rarely been collected so far.

title: How Translanguaging can Transform Teacher Education: Using Communicative Repertoires for Teacher Education in Colombia
Creators: name: Medina Riveros, Rosa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Using multimodal and digital ethnography, this year-long study makes visible how a community of seven Colombian English language teachers collaborate to make sense of, and use multilingual, multimodal, and digital literacy resources in innovative ways. This study draws on critical multilingualism, translanguaging, and communicative repertoires to respond to this question: How do teachers negotiate and co-construct multilingual, multimodal, and digital strategies for language learning in a Colombian university? Translanguaging and communicative repertoires are powerful theoretical and pedagogic tools that illuminate how to navigate semiotic and digital diversity in education. With translanguaging, García and Li (2014) advocate for the active and complex use of speaker’s linguistic and semiotic repertoires for learning. Likewise, Canagarajah (2007) and Rymes (2012) recommended the inclusion of communicative repertoires for language learning. transcripts, Notes of online teacher workshops, multimodal texts produced by the teachers, and surveys were analyzed using elements from constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2014), and multimodal narrative analysis (Barkhuizen, 2014). The findings reveal how teachers struggle to include local linguistic and cultural resources, and how translanguaging and multimodality can support language teacher education through a change of perspectives. Translanguaging in non-English dominant contexts must be contextualized and theorized in new ways. A second finding consisted in changing perspectives for teacher education. Using multimodal narrative analysis, the study revealed how using teachers’ whole communicative repertoires is beneficial for reflection and negotiation of meaning moving from monoglossic views to translanguaging.
title: Soziale Repräsentationen, soziale Identität und soziale Normen im Sportsponsoring am Beispiel österreichischer Fußballfans
Creators: name: Methlagl, Michael
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der sozialen Identität und den sozialen Repräsentationen von österreichischen Fußballfans im Sportsponsoringkontext. Im empirischen Teil wurden die sozialen Repräsentationen von österreichischen Fußballfans erhoben, indem Assoziationen zu den Begriffen Fußball und Vereinsname erfragt wurden. Ziel dieser Erhebung war es, herauszuarbeiten, welche Inhalte die Fans mit ihrer sozialen Fanidentität verbinden. Dabei sollte eruiert werden, ob die sozialen Repräsentationen bei verschiedenen Fangruppierungen variieren. Den Kern sozialer Repräsentationen zum Reizwort (Stimulus) Fußball bilden bei den meisten Fangruppierungen kognitive Inhalte (Vereinsnamen, Spielfeld etc.). Die Fans der weniger bis mittelmäßig erfolgreichen Vereine betonten emotionale Aspekte (Freude, Spaß etc.) und soziale Aspekte (Gemeinschaft, Fanszene etc.). Die sozialen Repräsentationen zum Stimulus Vereinsname zeigen, dass Fans der erfolgreichen Vereine vor allem Erfolge und Siege ihrer Mannschaft sowie kognitive Wissensinhalte hervorheben. Fans der weni- ger erfolgreichen Vereine betonten hingegen eher Fanszene, Fansupport und Leidenschaft. Zum Aufbau einer positiven sozialen Identität werden unterschiedliche Vergleichsdimen- sionen herangezogen. Entscheidend für deren Auswahl waren der sportliche Erfolg, der Bildungsstatus und das Alter der Fans. Ein weiteres Ziel dieser Studie bestand darin, die Rolle von sozialer Identität, Teamloyali- tät, sozialen Normen und der Einstellung zur Kommerzialisierung für den Kauf von Pro- dukten des Sponsors zu analysieren. Es zeigte sich, dass eine hohe soziale Identifikation mit dem Team zu einer erhöhten Identifikation mit dem Sponsor führt. Die soziale Identi- fikation sowohl mit dem Team als auch mit dem Sponsor führen zu einer Internalisierung der Gruppennormen. Die Kaufintention tritt am wahrscheinlichsten auf, wenn die Fans den Kauf als sozial erwünschtes Verhalten wahrnehmen (injunktive soziale Norm) und wenn sie der Meinung sind, dass andere Fans tatsächlich dieses Verhalten zeigen (deskriptive soziale Norm). Anders ist es bei Fans, die sich zwar mit dem Team identifizieren, die fortschreitende Kommerzialisierung im Sport aber ablehnen. Sie identifizieren sich nicht mit dem Sponsor und sehen den Kauf nicht als soziale Norm an, was dazu führt, dass die Produkte des Sponsors von diesen Fans nicht gekauft werden.

 Taxonomy. The diagnosis of P. recifinus is discussed above. The specimen from PECB (ZSP 055; see Table 7 for measurements) has a tetracolored dorsal fur with a narrow light brown band, followed by a brown band, a paler band and a chocolate brown distal band; ventral fur is grayish light brown; facial stripes are bright and well-marked; the uropatagium have a deep notch and furred edge; ears and noseleaf edges are pale; interramal vibrissae absent; and upper inner incisors are separated, and lower incisors are reduced and separated with flat margins.
Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Caatinga, in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Paraná, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo (Velazco 2005, Tavares et al. 2008, Reis et al. 2017). In São Paulo, the species is recorded on all the regions, however, in few localities (Garbino 2016).
Field observations. In September we captured one adult male in a mist-net set at ground-level on a wide trail in sampling site M22 (Appendix 1).

description: Menschen mit Behinderungen (MmB) werden in den internationalen Entwicklungszielen (MDGs) nicht explizit angesprochen. Doch 80 Prozent aller MmB leben in Entwicklungsländern und nur 4 % davon haben Zugang zu Programmen der internationalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. Die Vereinten Nationen (VN) sind der wichtigste globale Normsender, sowohl in der Behindertenpolitik als auch im Bereich der internationalen Entwicklung. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die wichtigsten Normen der VN Behindertenpolitik und ihren Bezug zu Entwicklung. Menschenrechte und das 2008 in Kraft getretene Übereinkommen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen sind dabei von besonderer Bedeutung. Die Verbindung zwischen den MDGs und Behinderung wird kurz dargestellt, um mit der Behauptung zu schließen, dass ohne die Inklusion von MmB die internationalen Entwicklungsziele nicht erreicht werden können. Daher ist die unbedingte Berücksichtigung von MmB in der kommenden Entwicklungsagenda 2015 eine Notwendigkeit.
description: Pretty nearly 80 % of the World´s Disabled live in Developing Countries, estimated 4 % benefit from international development cooperation. Nevertheless People with Disabilities (PwDs) are not mentioned at all within the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). That is striking because the United Nations are seen as forerunner in disability policies. This thesis examines the adopted norms and standards of the UN´s disability policy and their connection to development. That is to be done with a special emphasis on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Further it shows in brief the close connection between the Convention and the MDGs. Finally it argues that inclusion of PwDs in development processes are a necessity of achieving global development goals. Therefore PwDs have to be included in the forthcoming development agenda in 2015.

description: Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843)
Fig. 24
 Taxonomy. Pygoderma Peters, 1863 is a monotypic genus represented by P. bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) (Gardner 2008c). Pygoderma bilabiatum is morphologically similar to A. centurio Gray, 1847, whose occurrence in Atlantic Forest was recently reported (Vilar et al. 2015). Pygoderma bilabiatum can be distinguished from A. centurio mainly by larger size (forearm> 36 mm in P. bilabiatum and <33.2 mm in A. centurio), by the presence of a double lip from the base of noseleaf to the corner of mouth (Lim and Engstrom 2001, Vilar et al. 2015, Díaz et al. 2016), and by the presence of “doughnut-shaped” glandular tissue masses surrounding the eyes (Tavares and Tejedor 2009). Specimens from PECB (ZSP 043, 044; see Table 6 for measurements) have tricolored dorsal fur, with a mid-brown basal band, light brown mid band and grayish brown distal band; ventral fur is light brown with white patches on the shoulders. The uropatagium is densely furred, the tragus yellowish, the eyes are well developed, and the double lip is evident.
Distribution. In Brazil the species is recorded in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado and Pantanal biomes, in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Carvalho-Neto et al. 2017, Reis et al. 2017). The type locality of the species is Ipanema, São Paulo state, where the species is widely distributed (Garbino 2016).
Field observations. The three individuals (2 males and 1 female) were captured in May and June, in mist-nets set at ground-level on dirt roads, in sampling sites M31 and M34 (Appendix 1).

description: Aktuelle Untersuchungen verdeutlichen die Vorteile des Einsatzes von Jugendsprache im Sprachunterricht. Die besondere, zweisprachige Situation in Kärnten mit den Sprachen Slowenisch und Deutsch wurde hierbei bislang allerdings weder von deutschen noch slowenischen Linguisten erforscht. Aus diesem Grunde untersucht die vorliegende Diplomarbeit die Kärntner slowenische Jugendsprache sowie deren Merkmale und präsentiert die daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse. Hierfür wurden qualitative Interviews mit Absolventen des slowenischen Gymnasiums und der zweisprachigen Handelsakademie, die sich beide in Klagenfurt befinden, geführt. Anschließend werden anhand der Interviews Konsequenzen für den Slowenischunterricht an österreichischen Schulen gezogen.
description: Recent research has shown that language teaching would benefit from incorporating students' youth language. Although German and Slovenian linguists have already analysed youth language, it has not yet been investigated in the specific case of German and Slovenian bilingualism in Carinthia. Thus, this paper presents insights into the youth language of Carinthian Slovenes and its features by conducting qualitative interviews with graduates of the Slovenian gymnasium and the bilingual secondary commercial college, which are both located in Klagenfurt. Based on the insights of these interviews, conclusions for teaching Slovenian in Austrian schools are being drawn.
Cognitive aspects of depression: Stylistic or personal?
Creators: name: Goldman, Lee Alan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study assessed the degree to which cognitive distortions such as rating biases and reduced variability are general as opposed to personal cognitive phenomena. The biases of both "self-" and "other-" ratings were examined in order to assess the generality of these phenomena. Experimental subjects were undergraduate student volunteers who scored above 12 on the Beck Depression Inventory, while control subjects were those scoring below 9. After completing the Zung Depression Scale (to confirm previous depression ratings) the subjects performed nine perceptual tasks and rated themselves on their performance, estimating how well "other" students would do on the same task. Results do not demonstrate any relationship between variability and depression. However, the dysphoric group provided lower self-ratings and higher "other"-ratings than did the control group. Implications for cognitive theories of depression are discussed.
Should Local Governments be Included in the Constitution? A Comparative Analysis Between the U.S. and Brazilian Supreme Courts’ Reasoning Regarding Annexation Laws
Creators: name: Arlota, Carolina
Publisher: name: University of Bologna Law Review
Year: 2017
Subjects: Constitutional Design; U.S. Federalism; Annexation Law; United States Supreme Court; Local Governments; Comparative Law; Law and Development; Voting Rights Act; Legal Transplants; Brazilian Federalism

description: Annexation of local governments is a contentious topic. Litigation of annexation often addresses important constitutional provisions, such as property rights, federalism, limitations to police powers, equality and, more specifically, the Voting Rights Act. The United States Constitution is famously silent about local governments. In light of this omission and considering individual constitutional rights, would it make a difference to have local governments in the constitutional text? And to whom would it matter the most? This research developed an original dataset to answer those questions. This article focuses on annexation as proxy for local powers, and it compares the U.S. federalism scheme with the Brazilian unprecedented experience of leveling local governments alongside the states and the federal union in the Constitution of 1988. This research is unique in its comparison of the reasoning of the U.S. Supreme Court (U.S.S.C.) and its Brazilian counterpart, the Supremo Tribunal Federal (S.T.F.), with regard to annexation laws. The main contributions of this study to the literature are straightforward. First, it advances the literature on constitutional design by focusing on local governments, instead of states and the federal union. Second, and related to such an advancement, this paper departs from traditional federalism comparisons which were restricted to developed countries. Third, this research provides evidence contradicting previous claims that the U.S. constitutional omission of local governments was a failure of constitutional design relating to future matters. In addition, this study analyzes the consequences of the Brazilian constitutional design. This article concludes that there is no evidence supporting the proposition that the inclusion of municipalities as federal actors is necessarily superior to the current comparative trend that uses the dual spheres system of the U.S. federalism as a paradigm. Therefore, this research leads to unexpected results and provides evidence that contradicts the understanding of the U.S. constitutional omission of local governments as a failure of constitutional design.

Colorful Language: Morris Louis, Formalist Criticism, and Masculinity in Postwar America
Creators: name: Vincent, Paul
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: American art at mid-century went through a pivotal shift when the dominant gestural style of Abstract Expressionism was criticized for its expressive painterly qualities in the 1950s. By 1960, critics such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried were already championing Color Field painting for its controlled use of color and flattened abstract forms. Morris Louis, whose art typifies this latter style, and the criticism written about his work provides a crucial insight into the socio-cultural implications behind this stylistic shift. An analysis of the formalist writing Greenberg used to promote Louis's work provides a better understanding of not only postwar American art but also the concepts of masculinity and gender hierarchy that factored into how it was discussed at the time.

 Taxonomy.In Brazil, Vampyressa Thomas, 1900 is currently represented by V. pusilla (Wagner, 1843) and V. thyone Thomas, 1909 (Nogueira et al. 2014). In Brazil, V. thyone was recorded only in Amazon, in the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazônia and Rondônia. Vampyressa pusilla is slightly larger (forearm 32.3 to 36.0 mm) than V. thyone (forearm 29.3 to 34.0 mm). Additional external characters that distinguish these species are hairier legs and forearm in V. pusilla and legs and forearm relatively less furred in V. thyone; dorsal fur longer and clearly extending beyond the uropatagium edge, forming a fringe in V.pusilla, while in V. thyone the fur is shorter not extending beyond the uropatagium edge; noseleaf uniformly brown in V. pusilla and with a yellowish outer edge in V. thyone; and margin of ears faintly paler in V. pusilla and yellow in V. thyone (Lim et al. 2003, Arroyo-Cabrales 2008, Tavares et al. 2014, Reis et al. 2017). The specimens from PECB (ZSP 058; see Table 7 for measurements) have the set of characters listed above to V. pusilla, and presented a tetracolored dorsal fur, with narrow whitish basis, followed by a mid brownmid-brown band, a paler light brown band and mid brown tips; and venter weakly bicolored, with mid brown basis and grayish brown tips.
Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Pantanal biomes, in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia, Alagoas, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Tavares et al. 2008, Reis et al. 2013). In São Paulo the species is represented by few records from sparse localities, but all the vegetational formations (Garbino 2016).
Field observations. In September we captured an adult male in a mist-net set at ground-level on a wide trail in sampling site M21 (Appendix 1).

description: This study assessed the degree to which cognitive distortions such as rating biases and reduced variability are general as opposed to personal cognitive phenomena. The biases of both "self-" and "other-" ratings were examined in order to assess the generality of these phenomena. Experimental subjects were undergraduate student volunteers who scored above 12 on the Beck Depression Inventory, while control subjects were those scoring below 9. After completing the Zung Depression Scale (to confirm previous depression ratings) the subjects performed nine perceptual tasks and rated themselves on their performance, estimating how well "other" students would do on the same task. Results do not demonstrate any relationship between variability and depression. However, the dysphoric group provided lower self-ratings and higher "other"-ratings than did the control group. Implications for cognitive theories of depression are discussed.

description: Synchronization has recently been explored deep in the quantum regime with elementary few-level quantum oscillators such as qudits and weakly pumped quantum Van der Pol oscillators. To engineer more complex quantum synchronizing systems, it is practically relevant to study composite oscillators built up from basic quantum units that are commonly available and offer high controllability. Here, we consider a minimal model for a composite oscillator consisting of two interacting qubits coupled to separate baths, and show that this system exhibits a wide variety of synchronizing behaviors. We study the phase response of the constituent qubits as well as the system as a whole, when one of the qubits is weakly driven. We consider the thermal baths to have positive as well as effective negative temperatures, and discover effects that occur only when the temperatures of the baths for the two qubits are of opposite signs. We propose and analyze a circuit quantum electrodynamics implementation of this model, which exploits recent advances in dissipation engineering to realize effective negative temperature baths. Our work demonstrates the potential for assembling complex quantum synchronizing systems from basic building units, which is of pragmatic importance for advancing the field of quantum synchronization.

description: We studied the effects of cluster environments on galactic structures by using the TNG50 cosmological simulation and observed galaxies in the Fornax cluster. We focused on galaxies with stellar masses of $10^{8-12}M_{\odot}$ at z=0 that reside in Fornax-like clusters with total masses of $M_{200c} = 10^{13.4-14.3}M_{\odot}$. We characterized the stellar structures by decomposing each galaxy into a dynamically cold disk and a hot non-disk component, and studied the evolution of both the stellar and gaseous constituents. In TNG50, we find that the cold gas is quickly removed when a galaxy falls into a Fornax-mass cluster. About 87\% of the galaxies have lost $80\%$ of their star-forming gas at 4 billion years after infall, with the remaining gas concentrating in the inner regions of the galaxy. The radius of the star-forming gaseous disk decreases to half its original size at 4 billion years after infall for 66\% of the galaxies. As a result, star formation in the extended dynamically cold disk sharply decreases, even though a low level of SF persists at the center for a few additional gigayears. This leads to a tight correlation between the average stellar age in the dynamically cold disk and the infall time of galaxies. Furthermore, the luminosity fraction of the dynamically cold disk in ancient infallers is only about 1/3 of that in recent infallers, controlling for galaxy stellar mass. This quantitatively agrees with what is observed in early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster. Gas removal stops the possible growth of the disk, with gas removed earlier in galaxies that fell in earlier, and hence the cold-disk fraction is correlated with the infall time. The stellar disk can be significantly disrupted by tidal forces after infall, through a long-term process that enhances the difference among cluster galaxies with different infall times.

Fig. 28
 Taxonomy. Five species of Cynomops Thomas, 1920 are registered in Brazil: C. abrasus (Temminck, 1826), C. greenhalli Goodwin, 1958, C. milleri (Osgood, 1914), C. mastivus (Thomas, 1911) and C. planirostris (Peters, 1866) (Nogueira et al. 2014, Moras et al. 2018). Cynomops abrasus and C. mastivus can be readily distinguished from its congeners by size (forearm> 41 mm in C. abrasus and C. mastivus, and <39 mm in the other three species) (Peters et al. 2002, Eger 2008, López-Baucells et al. 2016, Moras et al. 2018). Cynomops abrasus can be differed from the northern South American C. mastivus by the gracile and small skull (robust in C. mastivus); the smooth slope of the anterior face of the lacrimal ridges on the forehead (there is an abrupt angle in C. mastivus); and by the presence of deep and narrow trigonid on the M 1 (shallow and wide in C. mastivus – Moras et al. 2016, 2018). The specimen from PECB (ZSP 021; see Table 8 for measurements) have general reddish dark-brown fur, and cinnamon-brown venter; flattened muzzle; upper incisors separated and resembling canines in shape; ears rounded and separated; and a rounded antitragus, without a constriction at the base. The skull characters are in agreement with the diagnosis provided by Moras et al. (2016, 2018).
Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in all biomes, except Pampas, in the states of Goiás, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Tavares et al. 2008, Reis et al. 2017). In of São Paulo, the species is also widely distributed, occurring in all the vegetational formations (Garbino 2016).
 Field observations.In December we captured an adult male in a roosting site on a building roof in sampling site S7 (Appendix 1). At the same roosting site we captured eleven individuals of Molossus molossus and one Molosssus rufus.

description: American art at mid-century went through a pivotal shift when the dominant gestural style of Abstract Expressionism was criticized for its expressive painterly qualities in the 1950s. By 1960, critics such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried were already championing Color Field painting for its controlled use of color and flattened abstract forms. Morris Louis, whose art typifies this latter style, and the criticism written about his work provides a crucial insight into the socio-cultural implications behind this stylistic shift. An analysis of the formalist writing Greenberg used to promote Louis's work provides a better understanding of not only postwar American art but also the concepts of masculinity and gender hierarchy that factored into how it was discussed at the time.

title: Development of Global and Local Spatial Descriptors of the Radiotherapy Dose: a tool to improve the search for dose-toxicity relationships in hollow organs
Creators: name: Gioscio, Eliana

description: External beam radiotherapy is a clinical standard for treating tumours, involving approximately 50% of cancer patients. This technique aims to administer a high dose of ionising radiation to the target volume while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Technological developments in imaging (CT, MRI, PET) and treatment delivery technology have improved responses to treatments, increasing 5-year survival rates for many tumour sites. Therefore, research focuses heavily on reducing treatment complications (including late ones) and improving patients’ quality of life in cancer survivors.

The benefit of increasing the dose to the tumour target is limited by the presence of organs at risk (OAR). Current treatment plans are based on dose constraints for OARs and predictions of side effects development.

Normal-tissue complication probability (NTCP) models are used in clinical practice to help select the optimal treatment plan that minimises each individual’s risk of complications. However, current dosimetric models have some limitations. They reduce the three-dimensional dose distribution within the organ to a one-dimensional representation (dose-volume histogram, DVH), ignoring the spatial heterogeneity of doses and possible intra-organ radiosensitivity.

This has led to a methodological evolution towards more sophisticated models integrating local spatial descriptors of dose distributions. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of dose-surface histograms (DSH) and dose-surface maps (DSM) to overcome the limitations of DVH. These allow for a better understanding of local dose-response relationships, especially in hollow organs. Although DSM-based analysis is established, it remains fragmented and insufficient for predictive modelling due to the lack of automation in DSM creation, in-depth studies on large patient datasets, and inclusion of patient-specific risk factors.

In response to these challenges, we developed a dedicated software platform that enables automatic computation of DSH/DSM dosimetric metrics and real-world analysis to better understand global and local dose-response relationships for all relevant side effects after radiotherapy, all including modulation from patient specific risk factors.

The research was conducted at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (Milan, Italy), which provided access to data from two important clinical studies on prostate cancer. These studies served as training and use cases for developing the platform.

The document is structured into five chapters based on work presented at international conferences and in preparation for publication, all of which have been co-authored.
