Explaining the registration process for organic heterogeneous materials (OHM)
Creators: name: Feher, Judit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: SolACEPA

description: Problem: The threat that climate change poses to yield stability is increasing each year, with multiple abiotic and biotic stresses affecting crops all at the same time and much more frequently. Furthermore, the existing regulatory system for registering newly developed crop varieties is designed for uniform cultivars (i.e., homogeneous plant material) with little genetic diversity, obstructing the diversification in agricultural crop production. The process of variety breeding is by itself a lengthy, time and resource consuming, and expensive process. So is the registration of new varieties. Solution: One solution to this is using organic heterogeneous materials. (OHM), which is described as a plant grouping of a species that has common phenotypic characteristics but at the same time a high degree of genetic and phenotypic diversity (heterogeneity). OHM is not a variety, neither is it a mixture of varieties, therefore it is not a subject for variety registration, but a simpler process of notification. Within the SolACE project we found that farmers using OHM had no information on the notification procedure, hindering their uptake as a crop that can improve agrobiodiversity and resilience to climate change. To solve the issue of a lack of available information on OHM notification, we formed a booklet on this within the SolACE project. This practice abstract summarises the key elements of this booklet for external stakeholders with an interest in OHM. OHM is a category introduced by the new organic regulation (EU) 2018/848. It is characterised by a high level of genetic diversity and dynamic nature to evolve and adapt to certain conditions, for which DUS (distinctiveness, uniformity and stability) protocols are not applicable. Furthermore, for marketing, they are not subject to registration, only to a simplified notification process.

description: Angesichts des Einmarsches russischer Truppen in der Ukraine sind berechtigte Zweifel an der Wirksamkeit der Sanktionsmaßnahmen der Europäischen Union gegen Russland wegen dessen destabilisierenden Handlungen in der Ukraine aufgekommen. In dieser Arbeit werden die wirtschaftlichen und politischen Auswirkungen dieser Maßnahmen auf Russland vor der Eskalation der Ukrainekrise im Februar 2022 untersucht, um Stärken und Schwächen der Sanktionen zu ermitteln. Basierend auf einer umfassenden Literaturrecherche werden die Auswirkungen der Sanktionen auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Russlands bewertet und allfällige politische Veränderungen evaluiert. In wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht wird deutlich, dass die Sanktionen für den wirtschaftlichen Niedergang Russlands nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielten, während der sinkende Ölpreis und die Abwertung des Rubels einen viel stärkeren Einfluss hatten. Die Maßnahmen sorgten dennoch für einen erschwerten Zugang Russlands zu internationalen Finanzmärkten und für niedrigere Investitionen in Russland. Politisch gesehen waren die Sanktionen weder darin erfolgreich, Russland zu einer Änderung seiner außenpolitischen Ziele in der Ukraine zu zwingen, noch um sein Handeln dort einzuschränken, da die politische Elite Russlands der Theorie des Realismus‘ folgend russisch kontrollierte Einflusssphären für zwingend notwendig hält. Die Sanktionen der Europäischen Union haben daher das Ziel einer Deeskalation in der Ukraine und der vollständigen Umsetzung der Minsker Abkommen verfehlt.
description: In the light of the Russian Federation’s war of aggression against Ukraine, justified doubt has emerged regarding the effectiveness of the European Union’s sanctions regime adopted against Russia for her destabilising actions in Ukraine. This thesis researches the economic and political consequences of those measures on Russia prior to the escalation of the Ukrainian Crisis in February 2022 to find strengths and weaknesses of those sanctions. By means of a thorough literature review, this eclectic work evaluates the impact of sanctions on Russia’s economic development and investigates whether political change has occurred as a consequence of sanctions. Economically, it becomes evident that sanctions played only a subordinate role in the Russian economy’s decline, with the falling oil price and the depreciating rouble exerting a much stronger influence. Nevertheless, sanctions succeeded in impeding Russia’s access to international financial markets and in discouraging capital flows to Russia. Politically, sanctions were unsuccessful both in coercing Russia to change her foreign policy goals in Ukraine as well as in constraining her actions there. The realist point of view on international relations employed by Russia’s political elite necessitates Russian-controlled spheres of influence to ensure the state’s survival. Hence, the European Union’s sanctions were unsuccessful in achieving the goal of a de-escalation in Ukraine and a full implementation of the Minsk Agreements.

description: Neutrino propagation in space-time is not constrained to be unitary if very light states - lighter than the active neutrinos - exist into which neutrinos may decay. If this is the case, neutrino flavor-change is governed by a handful of extra mixing and "oscillation" parameters, including new sources of CP-invariance violation. We compute the transition probabilities in the two- and three-flavor scenarios and discuss the different phenomenological consequences of the new physics. These are qualitatively different from other sources of unitarity violation discussed in the literature.

Speaking of Belonging: Learning to be “Good Citizens” in the Context of Voluntary Language Coaching Projects in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Creators: name: Mosher, Rhiannon
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2015

description: This article explores citizenship education for adult immigrants through informal language education in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Based on data collected over thirteen months of ethnographic research among volunteer Dutch language coaches in Amsterdam, the primary methods used in this study were in-depth semi-structured interviews and participant observation. While the primary focus of this article is on the ways in which informal educational settings contribute to processes of adult citizenship education, this paper also underscores some of the perceived barriers to integration faced by adult immigrants in the Netherlands. Adopting a Foucauldian theoretical approach to governmentality, this paper considers how volunteer Dutch language coaches both reproduce and challenge contemporary discourses around citizenship and belonging in Dutch society. Experiences and expressions of citizenship among volunteer Dutch language coaches reveal how entangled discourses of cultural difference and neoliberal “active” citizenship shape state and everyday notions of good citizenship practice and integration.

description: We consider a circuit-QED setup that allows the induction and control of non-Markovian dynamics of a qubit. Non-Markovianity is enforced over the qubit by means of its direct coupling to a bosonic mode which is controllably coupled to other qubit-mode system. We show that this configuration can be achieved in a circuit-QED setup consisting of two initially independent superconducting circuits, each formed by one charge qubit and one transmission-line resonator, which are put in interaction by coupling the resonators to a current-biased Josephson junction. We solve this problem exactly and then proceed with a thorough investigation of the emergent non-Markovianity in the dynamics of the qubits. Our study might serve the context for a first experimental assessment of non-Markovianity in a multi-element solid-state device.

Raising Citizens: Parenting Education Classes and Somali Mothers’ Experiences of Childrearing in Canada
Creators: name: Fellin, Melissa
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2015

description: Mothers are viewed as the people who are raising future citizens of Canada; therefore, their parenting practices are being targeted for intervention by civic organizations funded by the state. In this article, I argue that modernity narratives and neoliberalism approaches to mothering inform parenting education classes for Somali refugee women to Canada. Thus, Somali women are often seen as victims. Stereotyped identities conceal their social and historical agency. This research draws on 15 individual interviews with Somali mothers and participant- observation in two parenting education classes in Canada.

Year: 2015

description: This paper explores first-hand experiences of citizenship education specifically-designed for immigrants from the perspective of native Dutch settlement workers and volunteers in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Based on eight months of ethnographic research and in-depth interviews with settlement workers, this article explores how these ‘minor figures’ influence and inform the ‘Infrastructure of Integration’ and reinterpret national Dutch cultural values and norms on a local level. Using past understandings of multiculturalism and the current project of assimilating all non-western Muslim immigrants into Dutch society, this article investigates how these minor figures reproduce exclusionary discourses of belonging to the imagined community of the Netherlands.

A Grounded Approach to Citizenship Education: Local Interplays Between Government Institutions, Adult Schools, and Community Events in Sacramento, California
Creators: name: Loring, Ariel
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2015

description: Following a grounded, bottom-up approach to language policy (Blommaert 2009; Canagarajah 2005; McCarty, 2011; Ramanathan, 2005), this paper investigates available resources and discourses of citizenship in Sacramento, California to those situated within the citizenship infrastructure. It analyzes how the discursive framing of local and national educational policies affects prospective citizens and the ways that resources and discourses differ across educational sites. These sites include a government field office, citizenship classes at adult schools and community centers, and a law school-sponsored citizenship fair. This article argues that adult schools and community events introduce their own de facto and de jure policies, in conjunction with top-down governmental policies, that tend to reduce the complexity of naturalization at the expense of full participation. Both top-down and bottom-up educational policies consequently affect prospective citizens’ understanding and enactment of citizenship.

The multichannel calculations predict two groups of resonances above the lowest asymptotic energy. One of these groups dissociates to an atomic pair with the 2p excitation on the fermionic atom and the other dissociates to two asymptotes which correspond to the 2p excitation on either atom. Many of these resonances could be identified with levels in the single-channel calculation although the differences in energies were large. The total parity was found to have a significant influence on the ability to make these identifications. No purely bound states were found, although several resonances with line widths smaller than 1 MHz were obtained.

description: We construct the effective field theory of a perfect fluid in the early universe. Focusing on the case where the fluid has the equation of state of radiation, we show that it may lead to corrections to the background dynamics that can dominate over those of an effective field theory of gravity alone. We describe the periods of accelerated expansion, in the form of inflationary and bounce solutions, that arise in the background dynamics and discuss their regime of validity within EFT.
“A Good Citizen is What You’ll Be”: Educating Khmer Youth for Citizenship in a United States Migrant Education Program
Creators: name: McGinnis, Theresa Ann
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2015

description: Citizenship education is a complex and multidimensional construct. This article adds to the discussion of citizenship education by examining, ethnographically the ways the “vision” of a US Migrant Education Program is circulated through the program’s discourse practices to Khmer American children of migrant agricultural workers. The article does not discuss the formal legal status of citizenship, but the program coordinators’ beliefs about the skills and dispositions needed for the Khmer youth to become “good citizens.” Within the coordinators’ visions, the fixing of the youth’s perceived deficiencies drive the curriculum, and as such the full participation of the youth as active citizens is not achieved.

description: The Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric assumes comoving spatial rigidity of metrical properties. The curvature term in comoving coordinates is environment-independent and cannot evolve. In the standard model, structure formation is interpreted accordingly: structures average out on the chosen metrical background, which remains rigid in comoving coordinates despite nonlinear structure growth. The latter claim needs to be tested, since it is a hypothesis that is not derived using general relativity. We introduce a test of the comoving rigidity assumption by measuring the two-point auto-correlation function on comoving scales---assuming FLRW comoving spatial rigidity---in order to detect shifts in the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak location for Large Red Galaxy (LRG) pairs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. In tangential directions, subsets of pairs overlapping with superclusters or voids show the BAO peak. The tangential BAO peak location for overlap with Nadathur & Hotchkiss superclusters is $4.3\pm1.6$ Mpc/h less than that for LRG pairs unselected for supercluster overlap, and $6.6\pm2.8$ Mpc/h less than that of the complementary pairs. Liivamagi et al. superclusters give corresponding differences of $3.7\pm2.9$ Mpc/h and $6.3\pm2.6$ Mpc/h, respectively. We have found moderately significant evidence (Kolmogorov--Smirnov tests suggest very significant evidence) that the BAO peak location for supercluster-overlapping pairs is compressed by about 6% compared to that of the complementary sample, providing a potential challenge to FLRW models and a benchmark for predictions from models based on an averaging approach that leaves the spatial metric a priori unspecified.

description: The need for more—and better—educated employees is predicated on several factors inherent in the workforce today. First, there is a growing shift in what job opportunities will be available to young workers. Second, existing gaps in education and employment are expanding. A preponderance of research has shown that the lack of a high school degree in this current day relegates a person to a lifetime of poorly paid, unskilled labor opportunities (Seidman & Ramsey, 1995). Further, low postsecondary attainment levels keep many more from experiencing high-paid, middle class job opportunities (Carnevale et al, 2010; Castellano et al, 2003). Gaps between disadvantaged, underserved populations extend inequity (Kao & Thompson, 2003; Ross et al, 2012; Lumina, 2015; U.S. Department of Labor [USDOL], 2015). Shifting economies in combination with growing demand for skills and education in the future will only exacerbate inequalities—unless appropriate interventions are implemented. The jobs of tomorrow are here today. They require enhanced skill sets and higher levels of education. Attainment has already fallen behind economic development, though. Because traditional transitions and traditional approaches have not served all students well in the past, educators have turned focus to diverse options to meet requirements for academic achievement. These reforms meet college ready standards while also fulfilling student interests and developing career skills for the future. Technical coursework has been an ideal area for this type of reform implementation. Policymakers have turned towards practices which lead to better transitions between high school, higher education, and the workforce. This study looks at one such reform model. It examines student outcomes associated with participation in Career and Technology Education (CTE), specifically Tech Prep programming. The study explores the benefits of participation in Tech Prep across P-16+ transitions in both Texas and the Rio Grande Valley (RGV)—an area known for its unique context and widespread implementation of Tech Prep.

Creators: name: Nicula-Golovei, Teodor
Year: 2022

description: Die Migrationskrise 2015 war eine weitere Herausforderung für die demokratischen Parteiensysteme in Europa. Diese Arbeit vergleicht die Entwicklung des politischen Diskurses über Migration in Österreich und Deutschland im Laufe des Jahres 2015. Sie zeichnet die Muster der Ansteckung von der populistischen radikalen Rechten (PRR) bis zum Mainstream-Diskurs in Bezug auf Argumente, Rahmungen und rhetorische Techniken nach, die verwendet werden, um über die Herausforderung der Migration zu sprechen. Die Arbeit beginnt mit der Darstellung des historischen Hintergrunds und des theoretischen Rahmens, bevor Hypothesen entwickelt und diese durch eine qualitative Analyse von Parlaments- und Pressekonferenzreden überprüft werden. Die Hauptergebnisse dieser Untersuchung sind, dass PRR Parteien, wenn sie im Parlament vertreten sind, eine viel größere Ansteckungsgefahr darstellen, dass sie eher den Stil als den Inhalt der Kommunikation der etablierten Parteien beeinflussen und dass die restriktiveren asylpolitischen Positionen der Mitte- Rechts-Parteien die stärkste substantielle Annäherung der etablierten Parteien an radikalere einwanderungsfeindliche Ansichten darstellen.
description: The 2015 migration crisis represented yet another challenge for European democratic party systems. This thesis compares the evolution of the political discourse about migration in Austria and Germany over the course of 2015. It traces patterns of contagion from populist radical right (PRR) to mainstream discourse in terms of arguments, framings, and rhetorical techniques used to talk about the migration challenge. The thesis starts by setting the historical background, theoretical framework before developing hypotheses and testing these through a qualitative analysis of parliamentary and press conference speeches. The main findings of this research are that PRR parties can cause much more contagion when represented in parliament, that they exert influence on the style rather than substance of mainstream party communication, and that the more restrictive asylum policy positions of the centre-right were the strongest substantial convergence of the mainstream with more radical anti-immigrant views.
What’s Wrong With Secondary School Economics and How Teachers Can Make it Right - Methodological Critique and Pedagogical Possibilities
Creators: name: Brant, Jacek Wiktor
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: In the wake of current world financial crisis serious efforts are being made to rethink the dominant economic assumptions. There is a growing movement in universities to make economics more relevant and to embrace an understanding of diverse models. Additionally, philosophical schools such as critical realism have provided new tools for thinking about economics. However, not much attention has been paid to relate these developments to school economics and this paper aims to respond to this need. It is about economics as a discipline, school economics and issues pertaining to the teaching and learning of school economics. Mainstream economists focus predominately on static neo-classical models that are poor predictors of the future and do not even adequately explain current states of affairs. I argue that conceptualised differently, economics can be seen as a social science, concerned with understanding the often conflicting values, interests, and capacities of large numbers of individuals operating within the constraints of limited resources. In line with this orientation, I recommend that economics teachers start engaging in exploring the purpose of economics and adopt an interactive pedagogy that seeks to explain the world in which we live.

description: In these lectures we cover basics of the theory of heights starting with the heights in the projective space, heights of polynomials, and heights of the algebraic curves. We define the minimal height of binary forms and moduli height for algebraic curves and prove that the moduli height of superelliptic curves $\mathcal H (f) \leq c_0 \tilde H (f)$ where $c_0$ is a constant and $\tilde H$ the minimal height of the corresponding binary form. For genus $g=2$ and 3 such constant is explicitly determined. Furthermore, complete lists of curves of genus 2 and genus 3 hyperelliptic curves with height 1 are computed.

description: A famous conjecture of Ryser is that in an $r$-partite hypergraph the covering number is at most $r-1$ times the matching number. If true, this is known to be sharp for $r$ for which there exists a projective plane of order $r-1$. We show that the conjecture, if true, is also sharp for the smallest previously open value, namely $r=7$. For $r\in\{6,7\}$, we find the minimal number $f(r)$ of edges in an intersecting $r$-partite hypergraph that has covering number at least $r-1$. We find that $f(r)$ is achieved only by linear hypergraphs for $r\le5$, but that this is not the case for $r\in\{6,7\}$. We also improve the general lower bound on $f(r)$, showing that $f(r)\ge 3.052r+O(1)$. We show that a stronger form of Ryser's conjecture that was used to prove the $r=3$ case fails for all $r>3$. We also prove a fractional version of the following stronger form of Ryser's conjecture: in an $r$-partite hypergraph there exists a set $S$ of size at most $r-1$, contained either in one side of the hypergraph or in an edge, whose removal reduces the matching number by 1.

description: An all orders formula for the $S$-matrix for 2 $\rightarrow$ 2 scattering in large N Chern-Simons theory coupled to a fundamental scalar has recently been conjectured. We find a scaling limit of the theory in which the pole in this $S$-matrix is near threshold. We argue that the theory must be well described by non-relativistic quantum mechanics in this limit, and determine the relevant Schroedinger equation. We demonstrate that the $S$-matrix obtained from this Schroedinger equation agrees perfectly with this scaling limit of the relativistic $S$-matrix; in particular the pole structures match exactly. We view this matching as a nontrivial consistency check of the conjectured field theory $S$-matrix.

description: A numerical analysis of a one-dimensional Hamiltonian system, composed by $N$ classical localized Heisenberg rotators on a ring, is presented. A distance $r_{ij}$ between rotators at sites $i$ and $j$ is introduced, such that the corresponding two-body interaction decays with $r_{ij}$ as a power-law, $1/r_{ij}^α$ ($α\ge 0$). The index $α$ controls the range of the interactions, in such a way that one recovers both the fully-coupled (i.e., mean-field limit) and nearest-neighbour-interaction models in the particular limits $α=0$ and $α\to\infty$, respectively. The dynamics of the model is investigated for energies $U$ below its critical value ($U

description: This document is a result of INTAROS WP6 Task 6.5 on Arctic greenhouse gas exchange. The reported work rests upon results provided in WP3, more specifically tasks 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. It synthesizes data stored in databases SOCAT and GLODAP and additional data from a Ferry box system crossing the Barents Sea opening and from Greenland fjords. To show the potential establishing long term monitoring of the carbon system variables as suggested in INTAROS, trends in ocean uptake and transport of carbon, ocean acidification and deoxygenation can be produced. Examples on synthesis of carbon system data are shown, with the aim of analyzing trends in ocean acidification in the Nordic Seas. The results reported by each of the marine science partners in Task 6.5 include: UiB. The main task has been to prepare for a comparison of pCO2 field extracted from 2018 data in the SOCAT database, and test a self-organising map technique, a type of artificial neural network that uses machine learning. This was implemented to estimate surface water pCO2values for the Barents Sea opening (10°E-30°E; 70°N-77.5°N). NIVA. A FerryBox system was equipped on M/S Norbjørn which made approximately 25-30 round-trip crossings per year through the Barents Sea Opening between Tromsø, Norway and Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The FerryBox system included several physical, chemical, and biological sensors. UA. In Greenland, measuring ocean CO2and carbonate chemistry is included in the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) Programme. Although these long-term programs provide essential time-series of change, the three sites do not cover the spatial variation across the vast Greenland coastal zone

description: Since the beginning of the 21st century, academics in various disciplines have stressed the need to address democratic deficits in Europe as well as lacunae in the citizenship development of European youth. In this article we explore the value of various types of democratic engagement for strengthening the democratic character of local and international communities throughout Europe. To this end, we present our democratic engagement typology and its derivation from empirical and conceptual research, and discuss several strengths and limitations of each type of engagement. We also explain the additive value of our typology in relation to existing engagement typologies, and conclude that in order to vitalize democratic communities, local and (inter)national communities and institutions also need to cultivate a thick type of democratic engagement among European youth.

description: We show how a broad class of lattice spin-1/2 models with angular- and distance-dependent couplings can be realized with cold alkali atoms stored in optical or magnetic trap arrays. The effective spin-1/2 is represented by a pair of atomic ground states, and spin-spin interactions are obtained by admixing van der Waals interactions between fine-structure split Rydberg states with laser light. The strengths of the diagonal spin interactions as well as the "flip-flop", and "flip-flip" and "flop-flop" interactions can be tuned by exploiting quantum interference, thus realizing different spin symmetries. The resulting energy scales of interactions compare well with typical temperatures and decoherence time-scales, making the exploration of exotic forms of quantum magnetism, including emergent gauge theories and compass models, accessible within state-of-the-art experiments.
