description: This paper presents a deep MIRI/JWST medium resolution spectroscopy (MRS) covering the rest-frame optical spectrum of the GN-z11 galaxy. The [OIII]5008 and H$α$ emission lines are detected and spectroscopically resolved. The line profiles are well-modeled by a narrow Gaussian component with intrinsic FWHMs of 189$\pm$25 and 231$\pm$52 kms$^{-1}$, respectively. We do not find any evidence of a dominant broad H$α$ emission line component tracing a Broad Line Region in a type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, a broad ($\sim$430-470 kms$^{-1}$) and weak ($<$ 20-30%) H$α$ line component, tracing a minor AGN contribution in the optical, cannot be ruled out completely with the sensitivity of the present data. The physical and excitation properties of the ionized gas are consistent with a low-metallicity starburst forming stars at a rate of SFR(H$α$)$=$24 $\pm$3$M_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$. The electron temperature of the ionized gas is $T_{\mathrm{e}}$(O$^{++}$)$=$14000$\pm$2100K, while the direct-$T_{\mathrm{e}}$ gas-phase metallicity is 12+$\log$(O/H)$=$7.91$\pm$0.07 (Z=0.17$\pm$0.03Z$_{\odot}$). The optical line ratios locate GN-z11 in the starburst or AGN region but more consistent with those of local low-metallicity starbursts and high-$z$ luminous galaxies detected at redshifts similar to GN-z11. We conclude that the MRS optical spectrum of GN-z11 is consistent with that of a massive, compact, and low-metallicity starburst galaxy. Due to its high SFR and stellar mass surface densities, close to that of the densest stellar clusters, we speculate that GN-z11 could be undergoing a feedback-free, highly efficient starburst phase. Additional JWST data are needed to validate this scenario, and other recently proposed alternatives, to explain the existence of bright compact galaxies in the early Universe.

description: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), owing to their intrinsic plasmonic properties, are widely used in applications ranging from nanotechnology and nanomedicine to catalysis and bioimaging. Capitalising on the ability of AuNPs to generate nanoscale heat upon optical excitation, we designed a nanobiocatalyst with enhanced cryophilic properties. It consists of gold nanoparticles and enzyme molecules, co-immobilised onto a silica scaffold, and shielded within a nanometre-thin organosilica layer. To produce such a hybrid system, we developed and optimized a synthetic method allowing efficient AuNP covalent immobilisation on the surface of silica particles (SPs). Our procedure allows to reach a dense and homogeneous AuNP surface coverage. After enzyme co-immobilisation, a nanometre-thin organosilica layer was grown on the surface of the SPs. This layer was designed to fulfil the dual function of protecting the enzyme from the surrounding environment and allowing the confinement, at the nanometre scale, of the heat diffusing from the AuNPs after surface plasmon resonance photothermal activation. To establish this proof of concept, we used an industrially relevant lipase enzyme, namely Lipase B from Candida Antarctica (CalB). Herein, we demonstrate the possibility to photothermally activate the so-engineered enzymes at temperatures as low as −10 °C.

description: This research employs market studies as a conceptual lens, drawing from Harrison and Kjellberg (2016), to explore how social media users organise themselves for sustainability activism, using the #ditchthestraw campaign as a case study. The work addresses how digital influence shapes activism, particularly in stimulating sustainable practices, crucial for addressing environmental concerns. This is significant because market studies provides a structured approach to understand the complex dynamics of digital activism such as #ditchthestraw. Market studies allows researchers to examine how markets are constituted, how they function, and their social impact (Harrison and Kjellberg, 2016). Using issue mapping in a multi-modal research approach, the findings identify micro-interactions in sustainability influence work on social media, moving beyond effectiveness discussions to understand practices. In utilising Callon's (1986) translation process, this research reveals how influence work reconfigures, contributing to understanding transformative processes in sustainability activism. Research Implications of this research include how actors shape sustainable markets through influence work, emphasising the role of hashtags and tagging in driving environmental advocacy. Moreover, the implication of this research extends to elucidate the transformative processes in sustainability activism, specifically how market actors employ digital tools such as hashtags to curate and influence sustainable markets. This research underscores the potency of social media in catalysing environmental advocacy, offering novel insights into mechanisms through which social media platforms can facilitate significant shifts in sustainable consumer practices and market trends. Furthermore, this research contributes to the fields of consumer behaviour by shedding light on how sustainability influence work on social media can promote sustainable consumer practices. Additionally, it contributes to the field of activism research by offering insights into how social media can serve as an effective tool for advocacy. The research offers insights into the mechanisms of sustainability influence work, aiding comprehension, and strategic planning for digital activism. Further exploration is needed to fully understand the dynamics between actors and digital devices in sustainability influence work, particularly regarding issue mapping in the digital realm. Thus, this study illuminates the critical role of social media in shaping environmental sustainability, marking a significant step towards harnessing the full potential of online activism in the pursuit of a more sustainable environment.

description: Bacterial biofilm matrices are nanocomposites of proteins and polysaccharides with remarkable mechanical properties. Efforts understanding and tuning the protein component have been extensive, whereas the polysaccharide part remained mostly overlooked. The discovery of phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) modified cellulose in biofilms revealed that polysaccharide functionalization alters the biofilm properties. To date, the pattern of pEtN cellulose and its mode of interactions with proteins remains elusive. Herein, we report a model system based on synthetic epitomes to explore the role of pEtN in biofilm-inspired assemblies. Nine pEtN-modified oligosaccharides were synthesized with full control over the length, degree and pattern of pEtN substitution. The oligomers were co-assembled with a representative peptide, triggering the formation of fibers in a length dependent manner. We discovered that the pEtN pattern modulates the adhesion of biofilm-inspired matrices, while the peptide component controls its stiffness. Unnatural oligosaccharides tune or disrupt the assembly morphology, revealing interesting targets for polysaccharide engineering to develop tunable bio-inspired materials.

description: The most common three-dimensional (3D) printing method is material extrusion, where a pre-made filament is deposited layer-by-layer. In recent years, low-cost polycaprolactone (PCL) material has increasingly been used in 3D printing, exhibiting a sufficiently high quality for consideration in cranio-maxillofacial reconstructions. To increase osteoconductivity, prefabricated filaments for bone repair based on PCL can be supplemented with hydroxyapatite (HA). However, few reports on PCL/HA composite filaments for material extrusion applications have been documented. In this study, solvent-free fabrication for PCL/HA composite filaments (HA 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% weight/weight PCL) was addressed, and parameters for scaffold fabrication in a desktop 3D printer were confirmed. Filaments and scaffold fabrication temperatures rose with increased HA content. The pore size and porosity of the six groups’ scaffolds were similar to each other, and all had highly interconnected structures. Six groups’ scaffolds were evaluated by measuring the compressive strength, elastic modulus, water contact angle, and morphology. A higher amount of HA increased surface roughness and hydrophilicity compared to PCL scaffolds. The increase in HA content improved the compressive strength and elastic modulus. The obtained data provide the basis for the biological evaluation and future clinical applications of PCL/HA material.

description: The internal mammary veins (IMV) are suitable vessels for thoracic wall reconstruction thanks to their relatively predictable anatomy and because they are less affected by atherosclerosis, injury or scarring of previous surgery and radiotherapy. Their position near to the lateral border of the sternum allows easier access for surgeon and the possibility of placing the most vascularized part of a flap for breast reconstruction in the medial thoracic region [1]. As the complexity of reconstruction has increased, the use of the caudal portion of IMV has been reported as a convenient option for additional venous drainage. This procedure, requires retrograde blood flow that could be altered by the presence of efficient valves in the IMV. In this study, we evaluated 32 IMVs dissected from 16 fresh cadaver thoracic walls. Retrograde blood flow and the presence of valves were investigated. We observed an efficient flow in 18 IMVs, partial flow in 7 IMVs and no flow in 5 IMVs. In these last, single and/or multiple sacciform swelling and competent valves were macroscopically observed. Histomorphological analysis by Haematoxylin and Eosin and Masson-Goldner Trichrome staining confirmed their presence. In addition, some rudimental valves, not identified macroscopically, were found during histomorphological analysis. Taking together, these data highlight the possible presence of complete or rudimental valves in IMV. This aspect should be considered when retrograde flow of IMV as a single venous drainage was performed during surgical breast and thoracic reconstruction.

description: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had an incisive effect on residents living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Local governments have introduced restrictive measures because of the danger posed by this virus. One increasing negative effect of these implementations among residents living in LTCFs is their subjective feelings of loneliness. This study assumed that these measures weighed heavily particularly on residents living in LTCFs, as this group of older people could not decide for themselves whether or how they should be implemented. Thus, this study investigated the retrospectively reported subjective loneliness of residents living in LTCFs. On a large-scale Swiss survey (N = 828; mean age: 87.78, 75% female), residents of 22 LTCFs filled out a questionnaire on their subjective feelings of loneliness during the pandemic. The retrospective loneliness scores of the residents living in LTCFs were found to exceed those reported in other studies focusing on community-dwelling older people. Multivariate regression analyses showed that females, individuals with lower values of joy in life and life satisfaction, and individuals who were not satisfied with the manner in which their care home coped with the COVID-19 measures significantly felt lonelier. Therefore, the subjective feelings of loneliness of residents in LTCFs should be monitored very carefully. As the measures have still not been completely lifted, residents of LTCFs are assumed to still experience social isolation and be at high risk of encountering prolonged feelings of loneliness, which can be detrimental to their mental health and well-being.

description: Sertoli cells (SeC) are the main components of the blood-testis barrier, are essential for spermatogenesis and are long known for their ability to secrete trophic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory factors [1]. For these reasons, SeC have been encapsulated in sodium alginate microcapsules and then used to create an ectopic immune-privileged environment to prolong survival of co-transplanted cells or modulate the immune responses [2]. Encapsulation has represented an improvement for the use of SeC. In fact, it has been reported that inside the microcapsules SeC (SeC-MC) act as a “micro-biofactory” and drug delivery system. By secreting immunomodulatory and trophic factors once injected into the peritoneal cavity of dystrophic mice [3], they can ameliorate muscle morphology and function. Since the manipulation of the microcapsules is rather complicated, we performed for the first time, an ultrastructure study on SeC-MC. The good cell morphology, along with viability of organellar compartment, was demonstrated.

description: We work endlessly. Whether it be justified by love,money, or both, it seems clear that the popular imaginary and contemporary conditions of the industrialised West are arranged such that there is always more work to do. We are always working — on ourselves, on others (things, relationships, people), presuming to understand its value and utility, and presuming that it will always increase the common good. Albert Camus’ famous inversion — to regard Sisyphus as the prototype of a happy person, always assured of work, always with something to do — is a seemingly benign allegory for microcultures in which continuous work is a must, a mantra, a mania and a meme; microcultures in which leisure is luxury, and sleep is optional.

description: Surface patterning of bio-compatible titanium (Ti) shows a growing interest in the medical field. The engineering of material surfaces can achieve bactericidal properties and osteointegration improvements in order to develop medical implants. Spikes-like surface morphologies have already demonstrated the development of promising bactericidal properties. A barely new method to produce nanometric-sized cones on titanium consists of helium (He) ion irradiation using low energies ( 100 eV) and temperatures comprised between 0.25 T/T 0.5 (with T being the melting temperature of the material). Ti, iron (Fe) and/or tungsten (W) were incorporated in a He beam, and their amounts were quantified using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The He ion energy was varied from 70 and 120 eV, the surface temperatures from 571 to 651 K for fluences approximately equal to 1024 m−2. After irradiation, the surface morphology was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Focused Ion Beam (FIB). This study demonstrated the capability for irradiated Ti surfaces to form cones with tunable density, aspect ratio, and heights with the incorporation of Ti, Fe and/or W in a He ion. Additionally, the growth rate of the cones was enhanced by about 30 times in comparison to pure He irradiation as a function of the chosen materials introduced in the He beam.

description: The European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) requires companies to carry out a so-called Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) if the processing of personal data is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. But how can it be determined whether a risk should be considered ‘high’ and thus makes a DPIA necessary? Furthermore, if a DPIA is required, how exactly should this be performed? In response to these questions, various guidelines concerning DPIA have been published. The aim of this paper is to give those affected by the new Data Protection law an insight into three current DPIA guidelines and to support them in implementing a GDPR-compliant impact assessment. To this end, each of the selected guidelines will be described, and evaluated in terms of GDPR compliance and DPIA feasibility, i.e. on the one hand, whether the guideline complies with the relevant GDPR articles, and on the other hand what tools are provided to facilitate the operational execution of a DPIA. The study results in an overall evaluation matrix, which shows that all three guidelines have different strengths and propose differing methods for DPIA implementation.

description: Even though a broad range of social robots are currently available on the market, social robots are not yet an integral part of companies, healthcare providers, or public institutions. This might be due to the fact that the prevalent developer perspective immanently focuses on technological advancements, whereas a human-centered view remains underrepresented. In this paper, we argue that a human-centered perspective which integrates values and beliefs of relevant technology stakeholders needs to complement existing approaches to social robot design. Therefore, we propose to apply value sensitive design (VSD) to improve the process of social robot development and design. Even though VSD has become popular in recent years and it represents an established approach to foster innovative technologies, it has not yet been widely applied in the context of social robotics. Concretely, in this paper we will outline the added value of using VSD for social robots and we will explain how to utilize this methodology to enrich research and practice in social robotics.

description: Two glass lined reactors in a launch platform facility operated by Syngenta have been damaged during a crystallization-process of an organic compound due to electrostatic discharges. The goal of this thesis was to design and commission a unique setup to measure charges and currents generated by such suspensions in a laboratory-scale reactor. These measurements made it possible to then calculate and estimate resulting discharge energies. An improved and more sophisticated setup was then proposed for possible implementation in their own laboratories. With this novel setup, the electrostatic charging of stirred suspensions involving non conductive solvents could be accurately measured in the context of a case study that involved the suspension that led to liner damages in the production facilities of Syngenta.

Subjects: subject: 780 - Musik

description: The purpose of this paper is to document my investigation into the origins of the notational system known as Shape-Note. This style of notation was first developed early in the 19th century in the northeastern part of the United States, then spread west and south. In modern practice, the religious genre is known for its raw approach to singing the three or four part choral pieces, and for the unique notation from which the repertoire is read. It is a system of four shapes that replace the traditional note heads, and each represents one of four solmization syllables. This paper will show the connection of the four syllable Shape-Note system to the earlier English four syllable solmization system popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and answer the question of why the shaped-note system was created. The answer lies in the foundations of public music education in New England, and the religious practice of Psalm-Tune singing, popular there in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Domenico Scarlatti´s Essercizi per Gravicembali: Didactic Value and the Mystery of the Title
Creators: name: Kokoshynskyy, Dmytro

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 780 - Musik

description: This work is dedicated to Domenico Scarlatti’s Essercizi per gravicembali published in London in 1738. It explores the term “essercizi”, or “exercise” in English, through an excursus in the similar collections and pieces throughout Europe: the English Lessons, the German Clavier-Übungen, the Italian Essercizi and the French Leçons. While in some cases the term is employed in generic titles for non didactic collections of music, in others it is used in sacred music. Some of the dictionaries also provide us with the definition of spiritual exercise. The second half of the work includes the analysis of 12 selected sonatas from the collection from a didactic point of view. Each of them imposes new technical challenges to the student and may be used by different ages and skill levels. Even though the collection was not printed as clearly didactic material, it can be and is widely used as such.
Harpeslagere und irländische Harpfenisten. Ein Update für die Spielpraxis und Didaktik auf Harfen der frühen Neuzeit
Creators: name: Margraf, Carolin Sophie

Subjects: subject: 780 - Musik

description: Die Forschung auf dem Gebiet der frühneuzeitlichen Harfen hat bisher vor allen Dingen Quellen aus dem italienischen und spanischen Raum in den Fokus genommen. Bestehende Arbeiten zum Musiktransfer zwischen den mittel- und nordeuropäischen Hofkapellen und verschiedene Quellen im Bereich des englischen Consort-Spiels geben aufschlussreiche Hinweise zur Verbreitung und Verwendung der unterschiedlichen Harfentypen in England, Dänemark und im deutschsprachigen Raum. Am häufigsten treten im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert Harfen mit Darmsaiten und Schnarrhaken, sowie metallbesaitete Harfen nach irischer bzw. schottischer Bauweise auf. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurden in ganz Europa bautechnische Versuche zur chromatischen Erweiterung angestellt. Mehrreihige Harfen wurden langezeit vor allem in Südeuropa verwendet. Zwei schriftliche Quellen beleuchten mögliche Herangehensweisen an das Spiel auf den in Mittel- und Nordeuropa hauptsächlich verwendeten, einreihigen Harfen. Die beiden Manuskripte GB-Lbl Add. 14905 und D-LEm I. 8° 191 enthalten das früheste, für die europäische Harfe überlieferte Repertoire und gewähren Einblicke in verschiedene Aspekte der Spieltechnik und die Intabulierungspraxis der frühen Neuzeit. Spielpraktische Versuche werden herangezogen, um die technischen Indizien aus den untersuchten Quellen zu ergründen. Die gesammelten Erkenntnisse werden für den Gebrauch im historischen Harfenunterricht heutzutage aufgearbeitet und ergänzen die bisherige, harfenpädagogische Praxis.
La pratique du violon, un outil pour jouer la trompette naturelle

Lamentatio. Music from the Portuguese Renaissance to the Holy Week
Creators: name: Neiva, Luís
Publisher: name: Hochschule für Musik Basel FHNW, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 780 - Musik

description: Founded in 1131 and extinct in 1834, the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra has a long-standing history that intimately intertwines with the history of Portugal. Supported by political and religious powers, it rapidly became the most important cultural establishment in the country. When studying the ‘new institution’ born from the 1527 reform, one is confronted with twenty-one surviving musical sources reuniting a sum of more than a thousand works. From these sources, the P-Cug MM3, is at the center of this publication, more specifically a set of Lamentationes Jeremiae Prophetae, the critical edition of which is the main purpose of this thesis. The text of this piece derives from the Book of Lamentations which consists of five poems that narrate and dwell on the destruction of Jerusalem, in 587-586 BC, which find its liturgical purpose in the Holy Week, during the Tenebrae, a long visual and sonic experience that depends on the music, light manipulation, and spoken word to create the desired cathartic effect on the congregation.
Enhancing the Sustainability of Water Resources in the Arid Region of Jordan

Subjects: arid region; Jordan precipitation; water resources; wet period estimation

description: This study presents simple computational models to estimate the return period and the number of wet events that could emerge during the operation period of surface water resources. While the majority of previous studies indicated the ability of tree-ring reconstructions to characterize dry periods, this study has used tree-ring reconstructed precipitation for Madaba, began in 1743, to thoroughly detect the occurrence of wet periods in the arid region of Jordan. The analysis of the 71 years of historical precipitation indicated the occurrence of wet periods ranging between 1 to 4 years. The magnitude of the largest observed wet period was 454mm of rainfall. The analysis of the 239 years of reconstructed precipitation indicated the occurrence of long wet periods, i.e. 7 years event, of 551mm total magnitude that is 20% larger than the magnitude observed after the analysis of historical precipitation.

title: Trauma, PTSD und Substanzabhängigkeit
Creators: name: Hellmer, Ildico
Year: 2008

description: Untersucht wird, inwieweit Traumaerfahrung oder das Vorhandensein einer PTSD einen Einfluss auf die Schwere der Substanzabhängigkeit hat. Unterscheiden sich Substanzabhängige mit PTSD von Substanzabhängigen ohne PTSD hinsichtlich der Schwere der Substanzabhängigkeit? Diese Frage wird für lebenszeitlich aufgetretene, aktuelle und komplexe PTSD überprüft. Zusätzlich wird der Einfluss von Traumatisierung in der Kindheit auf die Schwere der Substanzabhängigkeit überprüft und der Frage nachgegangen, ob das Vorhandensein einer PTSD Auswirkungen auf Exekutivfunktionen hat. Weiters, ob Substanzabhängige mit PTSD häufiger komorbide Störungen aufweisen. Untersucht wird eine Stichprobe von 70 Suchtpatienten in stationärer Langzeittherapie. Zur Erhebung von Trauma und PTSD werden IES-R, SCID-Modul für PTSD, IK-PTBS und CTQ vorgegeben. Die Schwere der Substanzabhängigkeit wird mit dem Addiction Severity Index, der neben dem Substanzkonsum auch die Beeinträchtigung in wichtigen Lebensbereichen (körperlicher Zustand, finanzielle Situation, rechtliche Probleme, soziale und Familienprobleme und psychische Probleme) erfasst, erhoben. Exekutivfunktionen wurden mit dem WCST erfasst und komorbide Störungen mittels BDI, FDS und SCID-II. Es zeigt sich mit 92,9 % eine ähnlich hohe Traumarate, wie in bisherigen Untersuchungen, sowie ein hoher Anteil von lebenszeitlich aufgetretener PTSD (57,1%). Es zeigt sich, dass sich PTSD nicht auf die Schwere des Substanzkonsums an sich auswirkt, sondern, dass bei PTSD ein deutlich schlechter psychischer Zustand vorliegt. 5,6% des psychischen Zustandes kann durch Traumatisierung in der Kindheit erklärt werden. Suchtpatienten mit komplexer PTSD weisen einen schlechteren gesundheitlichen Zustand auf. Außerdem zeigt sich eine höhere kognitive Flexibilität mit PTSD. Suchtpatienten mit PTSD sind darüber hinaus deutlich depressiver.

description: The human brain connectome is a topologically complex, spatially embedded network. One of the characteristic, basic, nonrandom rules on which brain topology relies on is the tendency of brain networks nodes to cluster into modules with high efficiency and short path length, thus reflecting an intrinsic small-world behavior, functionally segregated (local clustering) and integrated (global efficiency) [1]. Although network topology seems to be somehow connected to network geometry, one of the most challenging issues of the current network science is to infer the hidden geometry from the mere topology of a complex network. Here in, aiming at disclosing the latent geometry of the brain, we apply coalescent embedding – a novel advanced technique able to map a given network in the hyperbolic space inferring the node angular coordinates - on different structural brain networks [2]. Interestingly, we show that we can unsupervisedly reconstruct the intrinsic brain geometry with an incredible level of accuracy and that it strongly resembles the known brain anatomy. As a matter of fact, the first rule of organization of brain networks emerging in the hyperbolic space is their structural segregation into two distinct sections corresponding to the left and right hemispheres, which is a simple concept yet quite neglected in previous studies on brain connectomics. In addition, we demonstrate that the human structural brain networks exhibited a significant different geometry in two age range-specific groups. Finally, we show that the intrinsic geometry of Parkinson’s Disease patients is significantly altered compared to the healthy subjects as revealed by two novel latent geometry markers. The present study may bridge the gap between brain networks topology and geometry and may open a completely new scenario towards the realization of latent geometry network markers for the evaluation of brain disorders.

description: An enormous range of building materials that is almost impossible to keep track of is available. The trend toward building densification in cities continues apace. Coupled with climate change, a situation is emerging that poses ecological as well as economic risks in terms of living comfort in public, urban spaces. Building designers need help (tools) to be able to address a wide range of requirements within their planning. The development of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model BASK (engl. “Construction Materials for Cities in Climate Change”) is presented. The goal of the model is to assist building designers in determining surface materials for wall, ground and roof construction and help determine the best compromise between environmental, economic, and building practice criteria. Currently available criteria are heat stress, visual reflectance, CO equivalents, electricity production, retrofitability, sound absorption, construction costs, and life span. The criteria can be weighted by the designer, resulting in a customized ranking of construction systems that best meets the designer’s prioritized criteria. The design of BASK basically allows for an extension of the criteria. The version of BASK described in this paper includes 10 construction systems covering a wide range of construction types focused on walls. The tool requires technical data for materials considered in construction systems included, which are made available via a data base. The scope of construction systems can also be extended in the future. Based on the restricted set of construction systems the results of a sensitivity analysis and initial validation are given.
