description: Background: Socioeconomic factors are increasingly recognised as related to health inequalities in Germany and are also identified as important contributing factors for an increased risk of acquiring infections. The aim of the present study was to describe in an ecological analysis the impact of different social factors on the risk of acquiring infectious diseases in an urban setting. The specific outcome of interest was the distribution of Rotavirus infections, which are a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis among infants and also a burden in the elderly in Germany. The results may help to generate more specific hypothesis for infectious disease transmission. Methods: We analysed the spatial distribution of hospitalized patients with Rotavirus infections in Berlin, Germany. The association between the small area incidence and different socio-demographic and economic variables was investigated in order to identify spatial relations and risk factors. Our spatial analysis included 447 neighbourhood areas of similar population size in the city of Berlin. We included all laboratory-confirmed cases of patients hospitalized due to Rotavirus infections and notified between 01/01/2007 and 31/12/2009. We excluded travel-associated and nosocomial infections. A spatial Bayesian Poisson regression model was used for the statistical analysis of incidences at neighbourhood level in relation to socio-demographic variables. Results: Altogether, 2,370 patients fulfilled the case definition. The disease mapping indicates a number of urban quarters to be highly affected by the disease. In the multivariable spatial regression model, two risk factors were identified for infants (

Promethean Desires: The Technician-Hero and Myths of Masculinity in Nineteenth-Century Literature

Publisher: name: unknown

Subjects: subject: European literature

subject: FOS: Psychology
subject: Nineteenth century
subject: British literature

description: Figures of scientists and engineers emerge during the nineteenth century as
icons of masculinity distinct from either the figure of the magician or the figure
of the military hero. I analyze these figures in three major works that trace an
arc from myth to realism across the first half of the century. Percy Bysshe
Shelley's lyric drama Prometheus Unbound, Mary Godwin Shelley's
Frankenstein, and Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea are the principal
case studies. Additionally, I examine several other Verne novels and such texts
as Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
H. G. Wells's The Invisible Man and The Island of Dr. Moreau, and the works of
Samuel Smiles, including Self-Help, Character, and The Lives of the Engineers. In
these works, images of Prometheus, elemental fire and water, and the Phallus,
as symbol of masculinity and male social power, express a struggle between
the ideal of disembodied reason and the expression of embodied love for
others. The technician-hero, whether he takes the form of a medical doctor or
an engineer, such as Verne's Captain Nemo, is chained in his body as he
struggles to assume the archetypal father's Law and control over Nature. The
Promethean Complex is an extension of the Oedipal rivalry of father and son
and the desire inscribed in sons to possess their father's knowledge-power. As
nineteenth-century bourgeois culture privileged a masculinity based on Logos
and disciplined control over bodies and Nature, the mentality of the technician
emerges as a distinct configuration. Constructed in opposition to Eros, the
body, the feminine, and the unconscious, the technician ego-ideal generates a
psychotic and paranoid subject, radically fragmented and unable to deal with
its ultimate inability to achieve omnipotence.
A Path Integral Approach to Migration and Inversion in Complex Media

Year: 2025
Subjects: path integral, seismic migration, inversion, complex media, diffraction, velocity lens, Kirchhoff, RTM

description: In this study, we introduce a novel migration and inversion framework inspired by path integral formulations in wave physics. Drawing on principles from our companion paper, A Path Integral Formulation of Wave Optics: From Spatial Interference to Temporal Effects (Singh, 2025), we demonstrate the application of path summation concepts to seismic imaging. Our focus is on environments with complex subsurface heterogeneities, including velocity lenses, where traditional ray-based methods struggle. We evaluate migration results across two frequency regimes (25 Hz and 40 Hz) and perform an inversion using a unique phase-based misfit function, optimized in a five-parameter lens model. The results indicate improved resolution, stability, and interpretability of subsurface features, validating the use of coherent path integration in complex media.

description: Since November 2012, there has been an increase in reported cases of hepatitis A in tourists returning from Egypt in several European countries. As of 24 April, 80 HAV cases in travellers with symptom onset after 1 November 2012 visiting different areas in Egypt have been reported. Four cases from Norway, six cases from the Netherlands and five cases from England share an identical hepatitis A viral RNA sequence. This increase in cases suggests that vaccination recommendations for travellers to hepatitis A endemic countries should be reinforced.
GOAL DELIBERATION AND PLANNING IN COOPERATIVE MULTI-ROBOT SYSTEMS

description: Intelligent robots are rational agents. The rationality of robots working cooperatively is significantly different from robots working independently. Cooperation between intelligent robots requires the high level of reasoning and complex interactions for successful operations. The required reasoning process includes knowledge representation and sharing as well as the ability to understand the context of a situation. The reasoning process heavily influences on the planning of deciding what actions need to be taken. Goal deliberation and planning is the process that deals with those requirements. This dissertation investigates the problem of goal deliberation and planning to enable such cooperation between goal-oriented intelligent robots, working as a team. The dissertation then proposes a multi-robot system model that embraces results of the investigation. The proposed model is realized on the top of the platform ‘robot operating system’ (ROS). The implemented system, named ‘goal-oriented multi agent systems’ (GOMAS), is demonstrated with the computer game, StarCraft II. Units in StarCraft II are individually controlled by the GOMAS robots and work cooperatively to attain a set of goals given from operators. The demonstration with the three different scenarios validates that the GOMAS system successfully and efficiently deliberates and plans the given goals.

description: Introduction: In the time of increasing resistance and paucity of new drug development there is a growing need for strategies to enhance rational use of antibiotics in German and Austrian hospitals. An evidence-based guideline on recommendations for implementation of antibiotic stewardship (ABS) programmes was developed by the German Society for Infectious Diseases in association with the following societies, associations and institutions: German Society of Hospital Pharmacists, German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology, Paul Ehrlich Society for Chemotherapy, The Austrian Association of Hospital Pharmacists, Austrian Society for Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, Austrian Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, Robert Koch Institute. Materials and methods: A structured literature research was performed in the databases EMBASE, BIOSIS, MEDLINE and The Cochrane Library from January 2006 to November 2010 with an update to April 2012 (MEDLINE and The Cochrane Library). The grading of recommendations in relation to their evidence is according to the AWMF Guidance Manual and Rules for Guideline Development. Conclusion: The guideline provides the grounds for rational use of antibiotics in hospital to counteract antimicrobial resistance and to improve the quality of care of patients with infections by maximising clinical outcomes while minimising toxicity. Requirements for a successful implementation of ABS programmes as well as core and supplemental ABS strategies are outlined. The German version of the guideline was published by the German Association of the Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF) in December 2013.

description: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus is classified as one species with three subtypes, namely the European subtype, the Siberian subtype and the Far Eastern subtype. TBE is distributed in an endemic pattern of so-called natural foci over a wide geographical area from Western Europe to the northern part of Japan. It is the most important flavivirus infection of the central nervous system in Europe and Russia, with about 13,000 estimated human cases per year. The epidemiology of TBE is closely related to the ecology and biology of ixodid ticks. In nature, TBE virus is propagated in a cycle involving permanently infected ticks and wild vertebrate hosts. Currently, the diagnosis of TBE is mainly based on the detection of specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. No specific treatment for the disease is available to date, but it can be prevented by active immunization.

description: Evaluation of perennial Glycine species for resistance to M. incognita   The Bartlett tests for homogeneity of variance for eggs per gram of root and gall index were not significant (P > 0.05) between trials, so data were pooled for analysis (Table 2). Our results demonstrate substantial variation in nematode reproduction and gall index among perennial Glycine accessions (Table 2 and Fig. 1). The susceptible check soybean cv. Pickett 71 was not significantly different from the resistant check cv. Forrest in eggs per gram of root but had a significantly greater gall index (Table 2; Fig. 1A, B). Ten perennial Glycine accessions (PIs 373990, 339655, 440932, 440960, 441001, 446974, 446983, 505197, 509472, and 559300) had significantly fewer eggs per gram of root than the susceptible check cv. Pickett 71, and fewer root galls (Fig. 1 C-F). Among the accessions, all but PI 440960 had significantly fewer eggs per gram of root than the resistant check cv. Forrest. All the tested PIs except PIs 573045 and 559298 had lower gall indices than cv. Pickett 71. Only G. tomentella PIs 339655 and 446983 had a significantly lower gall index (Fig. 1C) than cv. Forrest.

description: Human Ficolin-2 (L-ficolins) encoded by FCN2 gene is a soluble serum protein that plays an important role in innate immunity and is mainly expressed in the liver. Ficolin-2 serum levels and FCN2 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated to several infectious diseases. We initially screened the complete FCN2 gene in 48 healthy individuals of Vietnamese ethnicity. We genotyped a Vietnamese cohort comprising of 423 clinically classified hepatitis B virus patients and 303 controls for functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region (-986G>A, -602G>A, -4A>G) and in exon 8 (+6424G>T) by real-time PCR and investigated the contribution of FCN2 genotypes and haplotypes to serum Ficolin-2 levels, viral load and liver enzyme levels. Haplotypes differed significantly between patients and controls (P = 0.002) and the haplotype AGGG was found frequently in controls in comparison to patients with hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinoma (P = 0.0002 and PA, +2363G>A, +4882G>A) and one synonymous mutation in exon 8 (+6485G>T) was observed. Strong linkage was found between the variant -986G>A and -4A>G. The very first study on Vietnamese cohort associates both Ficolin-2 serum levels and FCN2 haplotypes to hepatitis B virus infection and subsequent disease progression.
URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKS: FUNCTIONAL TOPOLOGY AND INTERDEPENDENCE

description: Cities are composed of multiple interconnected, interdependent infrastructure networks. These networks are expected to continuously operate at near 100\% of their designed service capacities. When the operation of just one of these networks is disrupted the effects are often not contained to a single network. How these networks function and interact is critically important in increasing urban community resilience when subjected to stochastic disruptions. Despite apparent differences in the physical qualities of both infrastructure and cities this work, uses principles of complex network analysis to reveal stunning similarities in the functional topology of infrastructure networks around the globe. Network based models are used to demonstrate how failures cascade between infrastructure networks. The severity of these cascades is shown to be influenced by population, design decisions, and localized variance within the larger infrastructure networks. These results are important for all design, maintenance, retrofitting, and resilience aspects of urban communities.

description: In unseren Untersuchungen haben wir das säulenchromatographische Verfahren ABICAP® (Antibody Immuno Column for Analytical Processes) der Firma Senova, Jena, hinsichtlich seiner Eignung als Ultraschnelltest für den Nachweis von Francisella tularensis und Ebolavirus geprüft. In beiden Assays konnte eine vergleichbare Spezifität und Sensitivität wie mit den Referenzmethoden auf Grundlage der entsprechenden Capture-ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) erzielt werden. Der Einfluss von Störgrößen in Probenmatrizen beim Nachweis der Antigene war unterschiedlich hoch, führte jedoch in den meisten Fällen kaum zu einer Veränderung des Ergebnisses. Insgesamt wurde geschlussfolgert, dass sich der ABICAP® für die untersuchten Antigene als präsumtiver Schnelltest eignet und weitere Validierungsarbeiten in der Praxis durchgeführt werden sollten.

description: This dissertation includes two studies. The first study investigated longitudinal associations between the home and classroom environments at age 3 and academic and social outcomes at age 9 as well as the mediating role of attention regulation and language in these associations. Study 2 examined the continuity and change in the level of the quality of the home environment across ages 3 to 5 and its association with school readiness outcomes at age 5. Data for both studies came from four waves (baseline, age 3, 5 and 9) from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, which includes 4898 children (52.4% male) and primary caregivers. Twenty one percent of the mothers for the total sample were White, 47% were Black, 27% were Hispanic, and 4% identified as other. Sixty five percent of mothers had an education level of high school or less, 24% completed some college, 11% had a college degree or higher. Results for study 1 indicated that better quality home and classroom environments at age 3 were related to stronger language skills at age 5, and the quality of the classroom environment was significantly related to better attention regulation at age 5. Further, mediation analyses indicated that children’s language skills at age 5 mediated the associations between both early contexts and later academic skills, and attention regulation at age 5 mediated associations between the classroom environment and later academic skills. Results for study 2 indicated that there was not stability in the quality of the home environment between the ages of 3 to 5. In addition, higher quality home environments at age 3 and change in the quality of the home environment predicted greater gains in children’s attention regulation, language, and social emotional competence. Taken together, findings from these studies inform our understanding of the importance of early environments for children’s school readiness and later skills and have potential implications for future research, policy, and interventions designed to promote healthy development in early and middle childhood.

description: a b s t r ac t Alessandro de’ Medici’s life and its representation reveal important beliefs about family, politics, and genealogy during the Italian Renaissance. Duke Alessandro’s government marked the end of the Florentine Republic and the beginning of hereditary rule. Many scholars interpret Alessandro’s assassination as a fitting end to the tyrannical usurpation of Florentine liberty. This moral and political interpretation, championed by supporters of Italian unification and cherished by writers from the Romantic period until this day, has dominated assessments of Alessandro’s life and rule. The fact that he was illegitimate has given rise to many accounts of his origins and to the related controversies over the possibility that his mother was a peasant or a slave. The slave controversy admits a further question: was his mother’s background North African? Or Southern (i.e., sub-Saharan) African? Such arguments assume that slaves are black and that blacks are a clearly defined group. The history of Alessandro de’ Medici is inseparable from claims made for liberal society against tyranny, from evolving concepts of race, and from ideas of European cultural superiority over Africa. This essay studies images, both written and visual, of Alessandro de’ Medici with a focus on race and on the changing significance of traits now associated with ideologies of ethnicity and nationhood.

description: Als Antwort auf die nach wie vor häufigen Lebensmittel-übertragenen Infektionen wurde in Deutschland ein neuer Ansatz entwickelt, der durch die Kombination von epidemiologischen, mikrobiologischen und klinischen Daten gekennzeichnet ist. Ein interdisziplinäres Netzwerk von Wissenschaftlern auf nationaler, regionaler und lokaler Ebene führte Surveillance- und epidemiologische Forschungsprojekte zu Lebensmittel-übertragenen Erregern (Shigatoxin produzierende Escherichia coli (STEC), Salmonellen und Campylobacter) durch. Die Zielstellungen des Netzwerks beinhalten: 1) Bestimmung der Inzidenz und Verteilung von STEC und Salmonellen in Deutschland, 2) Bewertung der Bedeutung einer Typisierung für Campylobacter-Stämme, 3) Ermittlung von Risikofaktoren für sporadische STEC-Infektionen, 4) Entwicklung eines Systems zur Entdeckung diffuser Ausbrüche, einschließlich einer Referenzdatenbank für PFGE-Muster, 5) Untersuchung von Risikofaktoren für Ausbrüche, 6) Durchführung einer quantitativen Risikoabschätzung für den Verzehr von frischem Hühnerfleisch, 7) Bestimmung der Langzeitfolgen nach einer HUS-Erkrankung.
description: In order to respond to emerging food borne diseases, a new data-driven approach guided by epidemiologic and microbiologic data has been developed in Germany. An interdisciplinary network of scientists at the national, regional and local levels conducted surveillance and epidemiologic research of foodborne pathogens (Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Salmonella and Campylobacter). The objectives of the network include (1) determining incidence and distribution of STEC and Salmonella, (2) assessing the importance of typing systems for Campylobacter, (3) determining risk factors for sporadic STEC infections, (4) developing a system for detection of disperse outbreaks, including a national reference library of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns, (5) examining risk factors for outbreaks, (6) carrying out a quantitative microbiological risk assessment for consumption of fresh chicken and (7) determining long-term sequelae of HUS patients.

Optimisation

description: First-order methods such as Stochastic Gradient Descent are methods of choice for solving non-convex optimization problems in machine learning. These methods primarily rely on the gradient of the loss function to estimate descent direction. However, they have a number of drawbacks, including converging to saddle points (as opposed to minima), slow convergence, and sensitivity to parameter tuning. In contrast, second order methods that use curvature information in addition to the gradient, have been shown to achieve faster convergence rates, theoretically. When used in the context of machine learning applications, they offer faster (quadratic) convergence, stability to parameter tuning, and robustness to problem conditioning. In spite of these advantages, first order methods are commonly used because of their simplicity of implementation and low per-iteration cost. The need to generate and use curvature information in the form of a dense Hessian matrix makes each iteration of second order methods more expensive.
 In this work, we address three key problems associated with second order methods – (i) what is the best way to incorporate curvature information into the optimization procedure; (ii) how do we reduce the operation count of each iteration in a second order method, while maintaining its superior convergence property; and (iii) how do we leverage high-performance computing platforms to significant accelerate second order methods. To answer the first question, we propose and validate the use of Fisher information matrices in second order methods to significantly accelerate convergence. The second question is answered through the use of statistical sampling techniques that suitably sample matrices to reduce per-iteration cost without impacting convergence. The third question is addressed through the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) in distributed platforms to deliver state of the art solvers. Through our work, we show that our solvers are capable of significant improvement over state of the art optimization techniques for training machine learning models. We demonstrate improvements in terms of training time (over an order of magnitude in wall-clock time), generalization properties of learned models, and robustness to problem conditioning.

description: Readings of literary texts are always shaped by a reader’s particular location and knowledge, but those locations are themselves defined by their histories. Romeo and Juliet has inspired new sets of allegorical vocabularies of history in locations without confrontations with the English heritage in colonial contexts. Why is the reading of a canonical text often said to authorize a meaning different from what it literally says when read cross-culturally? How do allegory and local histories develop and intersect on stage? As an integral part of the cultural practice of narrativizing local history, allegorical interpretation plays an important role in creating a sense of semiotic referentiality for theatre works that cater predominantly to audiences in local markets. This article examines two productions of Romeo and Juliet in Taiwan and southwestern China (in the forms of Taiwanese opera, gezaixi, and Yunnan flower lantern opera, huadengxi) characterized by their decidedly local networks of signification.
La parola al silenzio. Un rimedio alla parola parlata
Creators: name: Candia, Roberta
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano

description: Il panorama estetico contemporaneo sembra prestarsi ad accogliere ma-nifestazioni artistiche caratterizzate dalla completa estrinsecazione, ver-bale e non, dei significati che veicolano, annullando così l’aspetto simboli-co e misterioso dell’opera d’arte e fornendo ai fruitori interpretazioni preconfezionate della stessa. È il fenomeno del kitsch, che mortifica il potere evocativo dell’arte, trasformandone i prodotti in forme non più che artigianali e in beni di immediato consumo. A questa tendenza cercano di fare fronte, attraverso la potenza granitica del silenzio, alcuni tentativi di pochi ma significativi nomi, legati ad ambiti artistici differenti, con la volontà di restituire vigore e autenticità alla parola abusata, risemantizzandola.

Bakhtin, Theory of Mind, and Pedagogy: Cognitive Construction of Social Class
Creators: name: Zunshine, Lisa
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Eighteenth century
subject: Social classes
subject: English literature
subject: Teaching

description: This essay brings together cognitive literary theory and Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of dialogic imagination to illuminate the construction of social class in the eighteenth-century novel. It offers a close reading of selected passages from Frances Burney’s Evelina (1778), made possible by combining Bakhtinian and cognitive poetics. It also discusses the theoretical ramifications of this approach and demonstrates its use in an undergraduate classroom.
