description: Shared control systems aim to combine human and robot abilities to improve task performance. However, achieving optimal performance requires that the robot's level of assistance adjusts the operator's cognitive workload in response to the task difficulty. Understanding and dynamically adjusting this balance is crucial to maximizing efficiency and user satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a novel benchmarking method for shared control systems based on Fitts' Law to formally parameterize the difficulty level of a target-reaching task. With this we systematically quantify and model the effect of task difficulty (i.e. size and distance of target) and robot autonomy on task performance and operators' cognitive load and trust levels. Our empirical results (N=24) not only show that both task difficulty and robot autonomy influence task performance, but also that the performance can be modelled using these parameters, which may allow for the generalization of this relationship across more diverse setups. We also found that the users' perceived cognitive load and trust were influenced by these factors. Given the challenges in directly measuring cognitive load in real-time, our adapted Fitts' model presents a potential alternative approach to estimate cognitive load through determining the difficulty level of the task, with the assumption that greater task difficulty results in higher cognitive load levels. We hope that these insights and our proposed framework inspire future works to further investigate the generalizability of the method, ultimately enabling the benchmarking and systematic assessment of shared control quality and user impact, which will aid in the development of more effective and adaptable systems.

description: As life expectancy among people living with HIV (PLWH) increases, there is a growing recognition of the importance of a psychological and neurocognitive well-being. This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of emotional distress and neurocognitive impairment in PLWH receiving care at the Elavoco Center. 204 participants were assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Mini-Mental State Examination. Results indicate that 62.7% of the participants exhibit significant levels of emotional distress, with 62.7% and 53.2% experiencing significant levels of anxiety and depression, respectively. Furthermore, 58.3% demonstrate impairment in global neurocognitive functioning. Participants reporting emotional distress have lower levels of education and monthly income. Gender, limited daily access to food and potable water are associated with an increased risk of distress. Participants displaying neurocognitive impairments are older, have fewer years of formal education, exhibit depressive symptoms, and have longer periods of infection. Results are indicative of a high prevalence of emotional distress among PLWH and highlight the significance of factors such as education, income, and access to necessities like food and clean water. Consequently, the development and implementation of mental health and social services to address these critical concerns are imperative.

description: Tractor-trailer wheeled robots need to perform comprehensive perception tasks to enhance their operations in areas such as logistics parks and long-haul transportation. The perception of these robots faces three major challenges: the asynchronous vibrations between the tractor and trailer, the relative pose change between the tractor and trailer, and the significant camera parallax caused by the large size. In this paper, we employ the Dual Independence Stabilization Motion Field Estimation method to address asynchronous vibrations between the tractor and trailer, effectively eliminating conflicting motion estimations for the same object in overlapping regions. We utilize the Random Plane-based Stitching Motion Field Estimation method to tackle the continuous relative pose changes caused by the articulated hitch between the tractor and trailer, thus eliminating dynamic misalignment in overlapping regions. Furthermore, we apply the Unified Vertex Motion Estimation method to manage the challenges posed by the tractor-trailer's large physical size, which results in severely low overlapping regions between the tractor and trailer views, thus preventing distortions in overlapping regions from exponentially propagating into non-overlapping areas. Furthermore, this framework has been successfully implemented in real tractor-trailer wheeled robots. The proposed Unified Vertex Motion Video Stabilization and Stitching method has been thoroughly tested in various challenging scenarios, demonstrating its accuracy and practicality in real-world.

description: The excited bands in optical lattices manifest an important tool for studying quantum simulation and many-body physics, making it crucial to measure high-band scattering dynamics under strong interactions. This work investigates both experimentally and theoretically the collisional scattering of $^{6}\rm Li_2$ molecular Bose-Einstein condensate in the $D$ band of a one-dimensional optical lattice, with interaction strength directly tunable via magnetic Feshbach resonance. We find a clear dependence of the $D$-band lifetimes on the interaction strength within the strongly interacting regime, which arises from the fact that the scattering cross-section is proportional to the square of the scattering length. The maximum lifetime versus lattice depth is measured to reveal the effects of interactions. We also investigate the scattering channels of $D$-band molecules under different interaction levels and develop a reliable two-body scattering rate equation. This work provides insight into the interplay between interaction and the collisional scattering of high-band bosons in optical lattices, paving the way for research into strong correlation effects in high-band lattice systems.

description: When done manually, refactoring legacy code in order to eliminate uses of deprecated APIs is an error-prone and time-consuming process. In this paper, we investigate to which degree refactorings for deprecated Java APIs can be automated, and quantify the benefit of Javadoc code hints for this task. To this end, we build a symbolic and a neural engine for the automatic refactoring of deprecated APIs. The former is based on type-directed and component-based program synthesis, whereas the latter uses LLMs. We applied our engines to refactor the deprecated methods in the Oracle JDK 15. Our experiments show that code hints are enabling for the automation of this task: even the worst engine correctly refactors 71% of the tasks with code hints, which drops to at best 14% on tasks without. Adding more code hints to Javadoc can hence boost the refactoring of code that uses deprecated APIs.

description: We explore the properties of ultra-narrow spectral holes in ensembles of solid-state emitters in crystals over a range of sub-kelvin temperatures, with a focus on their potential application in frequency stabilization schemes as an alternative to ultrastable cavities. We investigate how the parameters used to burn the spectral hole impact its shape, and how these factors determine the minimum achievable linewidth. In addition to the stability of the hole's center frequency, the linewidth and contrast play a crucial role in frequency locking. At sub-kelvin temperatures, the temperaturedependent T^7 broadening from two-phonon Raman scattering is expected to be negligible, and the spectral hole's linewidth should therefore remain constant in this interval. We observe however a linear broadening with increasing temperature, highlighting the need for further investigation into the mechanisms governing the linewidth at ultra-low temperatures.

description: The exchange of messages has always carried with it the timeless challenge of secrecy. From whispers in shadows to the enigmatic notes written in the margins of history, humanity has long sought ways to convey thoughts that remain imperceptible to all but the chosen few. The challenge of subliminal communication has been addressed in various forms of steganography. However, the field faces a fundamental paradox: as the art of concealment advances, so too does the science of revelation, leading to an ongoing evolutionary interplay. This study seeks to extend the boundaries of what is considered a viable steganographic medium. We explore a steganographic paradigm, in which hidden information is communicated through the episodes of multiple agents interacting with an environment. Each agent, acting as an encoder, learns a policy to disguise the very existence of hidden messages within actions seemingly directed toward innocent objectives. Meanwhile, an observer, serving as a decoder, learns to associate behavioural patterns with their respective agents despite their dynamic nature, thereby unveiling the hidden messages. The interactions of agents are governed by the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and shaped by feedback from the observer. This framework encapsulates a game-theoretic dilemma, wherein agents face decisions between cooperating to create distinguishable behavioural patterns or defecting to pursue individually optimal yet potentially overlapping episodic actions. As a proof of concept, we exemplify action steganography through the game of labyrinth, a navigation task where subliminal communication is concealed within the act of steering toward a destination, and systematically validate the stego-system in terms of distortion, capacity, secrecy and robustness when subjected to simulated passive and active adversaries.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit setzt sich gemäß ihrem Titel „Nirgendwo im Film“ mit filmisch umgesetzten ‚Nicht-Orten‘ auseinander, bewegt sich hierbei aber innerhalb festgelegter Grenzen. Indem die Abhandlung Gedächtnisstrukturen in den Fokus rückt, treten Orte jeweils dann als Nicht-Orte in Erscheinung, sobald sie auf Erinnerungsprozesse zurückzuführen sind. Mittels der angewandten Termini Vergessen, Erinnern und Projizieren wird dabei jedoch ersichtlich, dass die Beschäftigung mit Gedächtnis immer verschiedene Zeitebenen zugleich umfasst, und daher per definitionem mit Ununterscheidbarkeit konfrontiert ist. (Sodass von klar abgesteckten Grenzen im Grunde nicht mehr die Rede sein kann.) Ausgehend von Augustinus‘ Darlegung der Sukzession der Gegenwarten werden die dazugehörigen Orte folglich als ‚unordentliche Unorte‘ deklariert. Der erste Theorieteil (2.1.) nimmt die Begrifflichkeiten Vergessen, Erinnern und Projizieren aus den Perspektiven von Psychoanalyse, Philosophie, Sozialpsychologie, Literatur, Medizin- und Kulturwissenschaften in den Blick. Im Zuge dessen findet eine Schwerpunktlegung auf die enge Verknüpfung von Erinnerung und Projektion statt, auf die Frage, wie Vergangenheit interpretiert und Erinnerung in Sprache übersetzt wird. Als Ergebnis von ‚Wahrheitssuche‘ präsentiert Marcel Proust in diesem Zusammenhang eine Wahrheit der Zeit; die Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit ist somit auf die Zukunft gerichtet. Unter 2.2. geraten Vergessen, Erinnern und Projizieren im Film in den Blick. Die Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Analysemethoden, Montageprinzipien, Bild- und Toneinsatzmöglichkeiten sowie der ganz eigenen Zeitdimension des Films bereitet das Fundament für die anschließende Untersuchung am konkreten Beispiel. Mit Die Ewigkeit und ein Tag von Theo Angelopoulos und Jenseits der Wolken von Michelangelo Antonioni und Wim Wenders fiel die Wahl nicht nur auf zwei Filme, die sich durch höchst unkonventionelle Verwendung zeitillustrierender Mittel auszeichnen; darüber hinaus führt Jenseits der Wolken als Antonionis letzter Spielfilm den Aspekt ‚Gedächtnis als Vermächtnis‘, Film als Erinnerungsträger, ein. Indem die Regisseure ihre Figuren innerhalb nichtexistenter Zeitgrenzen nicht(mehr)existente Orte betreten lassen, fördern sie surreale Erinnerungsbilder zu Tage, die das (heute) Unsichtbare sichtbar machen. Bilder eben, die nicht länger nirgendwo sind, sondern Nirgendwo im Film.

description: Fuzzy (wave) dark matter (FDM), the dynamical model underlying an ultralight bosonic dark matter species, produces a rich set of non-gravitational signatures that distinguishes it markedly from the phenomenologically related warm (particle) dark matter (WDM) scenario. The emergence of extended interference fringes hosted by cosmic filaments is one such phenomenon reported by cosmological simulations, and a detailed understanding of such may strengthen existing limits on the boson mass but also break the degeneracy with WDM, and provide a unique fingerprint of interference in cosmology. In this paper, we provide initial steps towards this goal. In particular, we show in a bottom-up approach, how the presence of interference in an idealised filament population can lead to a non-suppressive feature in the matter power spectrum -- an observation supported by fully-cosmological FDM simulations. To this end, we build on a theoretically motivated and numerically observed steady-state approximation for filaments and express the equilibrium dynamics of such in an expansion of FDM eigenstates. We optimise the size of the expansion by incorporating classical phase-space information. Ellipsoidal collapse considerations are used to construct a fuzzy filament mass function which, together with the reconstructed FDM wave function, allow us to efficiently compute the one-filament power spectrum. We showcase our non-perturbative interference model for a selection of boson masses and confirm our approach is able to produce the matter power boost observed in fully-cosmological FDM simulations. More precisely, we find an excess in correlation between the spatial scale associated with the FDM ground state and the quantum pressure scale. We speculate about applications of this effect in data analysis.

description: We address unsupervised dependency parsing by building an ensemble of diverse existing models through post hoc aggregation of their output dependency parse structures. We observe that these ensembles often suffer from low robustness against weak ensemble components due to error accumulation. To tackle this problem, we propose an efficient ensemble-selection approach that considers error diversity and avoids error accumulation. Results demonstrate that our approach outperforms each individual model as well as previous ensemble techniques. Additionally, our experiments show that the proposed ensemble-selection method significantly enhances the performance and robustness of our ensemble, surpassing previously proposed strategies, which have not accounted for error diversity.

description: Randomized search heuristics have been applied successfully to a plethora of problems. This success is complemented by a large body of theoretical results. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these results regard problems with binary or continuous decision variables -- the theoretical analysis of randomized search heuristics for unbounded integer domains is almost nonexistent. To resolve this shortcoming, we start the runtime analysis of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, which are among the most successful randomized search heuristics, for unbounded integer search spaces. We analyze single- and full-dimensional mutation operators with three different mutation strengths, namely changes by plus/minus one (unit strength), random changes following a law with exponential tails, and random changes following a power-law. The performance guarantees we prove on a recently proposed natural benchmark problem suggest that unit mutation strengths can be slow when the initial solutions are far from the Pareto front. When setting the expected change right (depending on the benchmark parameter and the distance of the initial solutions), the mutation strength with exponential tails yields the best runtime guarantees in our results -- however, with a wrong choice of this expectation, the performance guarantees quickly become highly uninteresting. With power-law mutation, which is an essentially parameter-less mutation operator, we obtain good results uniformly over all problem parameters and starting points. We complement our mathematical findings with experimental results that suggest that our bounds are not always tight. Most prominently, our experiments indicate that power-law mutation outperforms the one with exponential tails even when the latter uses a near-optimal parametrization. Hence, we suggest to favor power-law mutation for unknown problems in integer spaces.

description: The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm~II (NSGA-II) is the most popular multi-objective optimization heuristic. Recent mathematical runtime analyses have detected two shortcomings in discrete search spaces, namely, that the NSGA-II has difficulties with more than two objectives and that it is very sensitive to the choice of the population size. To overcome these difficulties, we analyze a simple tie-breaking rule in the selection of the next population. Similar rules have been proposed before, but have found only little acceptance. We prove the effectiveness of our tie-breaking rule via mathematical runtime analyses on the classic OneMinMax, LeadingOnesTrailingZeros, and OneJumpZeroJump benchmarks. We prove that this modified NSGA-II can optimize the three benchmarks efficiently also for many objectives, in contrast to the exponential lower runtime bound previously shown for OneMinMax with three or more objectives. For the bi-objective problems, we show runtime guarantees that do not increase when moderately increasing the population size over the minimum admissible size. For example, for the OneJumpZeroJump problem with representation length $n$ and gap parameter $k$, we show a runtime guarantee of $O(\max\{n^{k+1},Nn\})$ function evaluations when the population size is at least four times the size of the Pareto front. For population sizes larger than the minimal choice $N = Θ(n)$, this result improves considerably over the $Θ(Nn^k)$ runtime of the classic NSGA-II.

description: Edge labels are typically at various granularity levels owing to the varying preferences of annotators, thus handling the subjectivity of per-pixel labels has been a focal point for edge detection. Previous methods often employ a simple voting strategy to diminish such label uncertainty or impose a strong assumption of labels with a pre-defined distribution, e.g., Gaussian. In this work, we unveil that the segment anything model (SAM) provides strong prior knowledge to model the uncertainty in edge labels. Our key insight is that the intermediate SAM features inherently correspond to object edges at various granularities, which reflects different edge options due to uncertainty. Therefore, we attempt to align uncertainty with granularity by regressing intermediate SAM features from different layers to object edges at multi-granularity levels. In doing so, the model can fully and explicitly explore diverse ``uncertainties'' in a data-driven fashion. Specifically, we inject a lightweight module (~ 1.5% additional parameters) into the frozen SAM to progressively fuse and adapt its intermediate features to estimate edges from coarse to fine. It is crucial to normalize the granularity level of human edge labels to match their innate uncertainty. For this, we simply perform linear blending to the real edge labels at hand to create pseudo labels with varying granularities. Consequently, our uncertainty-aligned edge detector can flexibly produce edges at any desired granularity (including an optimal one). Thanks to SAM, our model uniquely demonstrates strong generalizability for cross-dataset edge detection. Extensive experimental results on BSDS500, Muticue and NYUDv2 validate our model's superiority.

description: Conversational Swarm Intelligence (CSI) is an AI-facilitated method for enabling real-time conversational deliberations and prioritizations among networked human groups of potentially unlimited size. Based on the biological principle of Swarm Intelligence and modelled on the decision-making dynamics of fish schools, CSI has been shown in prior studies to amplify group intelligence, increase group participation, and facilitate productive collaboration among hundreds of participants at once. It works by dividing a large population into a set of small subgroups that are woven together by real-time AI agents called Conversational Surrogates. The present study focuses on the use of a CSI platform called Thinkscape to enable real-time brainstorming and prioritization among groups of 75 networked users. The study employed a variant of a common brainstorming intervention called an Alternative Use Task (AUT) and was designed to compare through subjective feedback, the experience of participants brainstorming using a CSI structure vs brainstorming in a single large chat room. This comparison revealed that participants significantly preferred brainstorming with the CSI structure and reported that it felt (i) more collaborative, (ii) more productive, and (iii) was better at surfacing quality answers. In addition, participants using the CSI structure reported (iv) feeling more ownership and more buy-in in the final answers the group converged on and (v) reported feeling more heard as compared to brainstorming in a traditional text chat environment. Overall, the results suggest that CSI is a very promising AI-facilitated method for brainstorming and prioritization among large-scale, networked human groups.

description: Genus Sinocallipus Zhang, 1993
Sinocallipus Zhang, 1993:129. Shelley et al., 2000:59.
Type species. Sinocallipus simplipodicus Zhang, 1993, by original designation.
Diagnosis. A genus of moderate­size Callipodida with low, narrow, primary crests, secondary and tertiary crests absent, without crest transition or setal migration. Gonopodal coxa with two medial, clavate processes anteriad and long, slender cannula, either curved or coiled, directed anteriolaterad, terminating freely, not interconnecting apically with telopodite; latter without prostatic groove, with three or four slender, narrowly separated, terminal projections directed anteriomediad and overlapping or terminating close to coxal processes. 9th legs in males with distomedial, deeply excavated trochanteral lobe, possessing central pore and spur­like to subspiniform projections.
Distribution. Known from one locality each in Yunnan Province, China, and Champasak/Attapu Provinces, in southern Laos, both of which are south of the Tropic of Cancer. These sites are approximately 600 mi (960 km) apart, which constitutes the known generic range.
Species. One is known, but others may exist in the projected ordinal area in southeastern Asia. Callipodidan telopodites usually exhibit distinct prostatic grooves and are the presumably “functional” elements that inseminate females. They are also typically elaborate structures possessing most of the taxonomic characters at the specific levels, so without such a telopodite and with so few specimens available, it is unknown how specific differences manifest themselves in Sinocallipus. Whether features like a markedly longer cannula that curves rather than coils reflect reproductive isolation remains for future workers to determine. Cannula length could also vary geographically or clinally, being longer in southern populations and indicative of geographic races that may warrant taxonomic recognition at the subspecific level. The Laotian specimens differ from Zhang’s account of those from China in both somatic and gonopodal features; not knowing how much taxonomic value to place on them, we adopt the conservative treatment and assign the specimens to S. simplipodicus. Additional material from other localities is needed before species and subspecific distinctions in Sinocallipus can be properly evaluated.

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit psychisch erkrankten Menschen in der Sozialhilfe, insbesondere dann, wenn die psychische Erkrankung nicht diagnostiziert ist, sondern nur ein Verdacht besteht. Die zentrale Frage ist dabei, wie Sozialarbeitende für den Umgang mit Sozialhilfebeziehenden bei Verdacht auf eine psychische Erkrankung sensibilisiert werden können.

Die Fragestellung wird mithilfe von Literatur in Form von Empirie, Studien, Fachartikel und auch anhand der Berufsethik beantwortet. Nach einer Problemanalyse und Problembewertung werden die Ergebnisse als Handlungsempfehlungen formuliert.

Die Analyse zeigt, dass für einen sensibilisierten Umgang nicht nur Handlungen auf der Mikroebene, sondern auch auf der Meso- und Makroebene notwendig sind. Ein sensibilisiertes Krankheitsbewusstsein, personenzentrierte Arbeit mit Fokus auf der Lebensqualität sowie der bewusste Umgang mit dem Spannungsfeld zwischen den strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen und der Profession sind wichtige Empfehlungen auf der Mikroebene. Gewisse Veränderungen bedingen eine Änderung auf den höheren Ebenen. Dazu gehört eine funktionierende interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit, Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, verbesserte Finanzierung der Sozialhilfe und die Betonung der Professionalität in der Sozialhilfe.

title: Schöpferische Regieoper versus klassikerzertrümmernde Destruktion. Regietheater und Werkgerechtigkeit am Beispiel von W.A. Mozarts und Lorenzo Da Pontes Don Giovanni
Creators: name: Koscher, Stefanie Susanne
Year: 2011

description: Anhand W.A. Mozarts und Lorenzo Da Pontes Don Giovanni behandelt diese Arbeit die Frage nach der Legitimation von zeitgenössischen Musiktheater-Regiekonzepten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in der ausführlichen Analyse der beiden Don Giovanni-Inszenierungen der Regisseure Calixto Bieito und Peter Sellars. Ihre Konzepte zum Don Giovanni basieren beide auf der Grundidee der Aktualisierung von klassischen Stoffen. Die Methode der Aktualisierung in der zeitgenössischen Musiktheaterregie hat sich mittlerweile soweit etabliert, dass sich durch die Fülle an Inszenierungen dieser Art klare Unterschiede im Umgang mit der Werkgerechtigkeit zeigen. So wird im ersten Teil der Arbeit ein Überblick über die Geschichte der Darstellung des Titelhelden skizziert, um mögliche Einflüsse und Parallelen in der Aufführungsgeschichte zu zeitgenössischen Inszenierungen sichtbar zu machen. Es soll deutlich gemacht werden, aus welchem historisch-gesellschaftlichen Kontext heraus sich die Figur des Don Giovanni hin zum Regietheater bewegt hat. In weiterer Folge wird versucht, die Unterschiede im Umgang mit der Werkgerechtigkeit durch die Regie sichtbar zu machen, um so die Notwendigkeit einer intensiveren Auseinandersetzung mit der Thematik offensichtlich werden zu lassen. Es soll aufgezeigt werden, dass es nicht mehr möglich ist, aktualisierende Inszenierungen allgemein als „nicht werkgerecht“ zu kategorisieren. Es besteht heute die Notwendigkeit, gründlichere Analysen anzustellen, um nach dem Maß an Werkgerechtigkeit einer Inszenierung auf mehreren analytischen Ebenen zu suchen. So kann auch die These aufgestellt werden, dass das moderne Musikregietheater einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Verhinderung eines „tödlichen Theaters“ nach Peter Brook und somit zum Fortleben des Operbetriebes per se leistet.

description: While Nash equilibria are guaranteed to exist, they may exhibit dense support, making them difficult to understand and execute in some applications. In this paper, we study $k$-sparse commitments in games where one player is restricted to mixed strategies with support size at most $k$. Finding $k$-sparse commitments is known to be computationally hard. We start by showing several structural properties of $k$-sparse solutions, including that the optimal support may vary dramatically as $k$ increases. These results suggest that naive greedy or double-oracle-based approaches are unlikely to yield practical algorithms. We then develop a simple approach based on mixed integer linear programs (MILPs) for zero-sum games, general-sum Stackelberg games, and various forms of structured sparsity. We also propose practical algorithms for cases where one or both players have large (i.e., practically innumerable) action sets, utilizing a combination of MILPs and incremental strategy generation. We evaluate our methods on synthetic and real-world scenarios based on security applications. In both settings, we observe that even for small support sizes, we can obtain more than $90\%$ of the true Nash value while maintaining a reasonable runtime, demonstrating the significance of our formulation and algorithms.

description: Models proposing a non-gravitational interaction between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (CDM) have been extensively studied as alternatives to the standard cosmological model. A common approach to describing the DE-CDM coupling assumes it to be linearly proportional to the dark energy density. In this work, we consider the model with interaction term $Q=3Hγ{ρ_{x}^{2}}/{(ρ_{c}+ρ_{x})}$. We show that for positive values of $γ$ this model predicts a future violation of the Weak Energy Condition (WEC) for the dark matter component, and for a specific range of negative values of $γ$ the CDM energy density can be negative in the past. We perform a parameter selection analysis for this model using data from Type Ia supernovae from the Pantheon sample, $H(z)$ measurements from the Cosmic Chronometers sample, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from the DESI survey, and Cosmic Microwave Background data from the Planck combined with the Hubble constant $H_0$ prior. Imposing a prior to ensure that the WEC is not violated, our model is consistent with $Λ$CDM in 2$σ$ C.L., yet exhibits a preference for smaller values of $σ_8$, alleviating the $σ_8$ tension between the CMB results from Planck 2018 and the weak gravitational lensing observations from the KiDS-1000 cosmic shear survey.

O processo legislativo no Brasil. 4.1 A participação popular e o processo legislativo. 4.2 A não cultura de participação e instrumentos democráticos. Considerações finais. Referências. ABSTRACT: This article will review the so-called democratic legislative process stated in the Federal Constitution of 1988. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that although popular sovereignty is envisaged as one of the constitutional foundations, historically there was never a culture of participation in Brazil, what creates a distance between it and a true democratic state. KEYWORDS: Legislative Process; Popular Sovereignty; Popular Participation; Democratic State.

description: We investigate the scattering halos resulting from collisions between discrete momentum components in the time-of-flight expansion of interaction-tunable $^6\rm Li_2$ molecular Bose-Einstein condensates. A key highlight of this study is the observation of the influence of interactions on the collisional scattering process. We measure the production of scattering halos at different interaction levels by varying the number of particles and the scattering length, and quantitatively assess the applicability of perturbation theory. To delve into a general theory of scattering halos, we introduce a scattering factor and obtain a universal relation between it and the halo ratio. Furthermore, we simulate the formation of scattering halos under non-perturbative conditions and analyze the discrepancies between simulation results and experiments through a return pulse experiment. This study enhances our understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying scattering processes in many-body systems and provides new perspectives for further theoretical research.
Identification of low-momentum muons in the CMS detector using multivariate techniques in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV

description: "Soft" muons with a transverse momentum below 10 GeV are featured in many processes studied by the CMS experiment, such as decays of heavy-flavor hadrons or rare tau lepton decays. Maximizing the selection efficiency for these muons, while simultaneously suppressing backgrounds from long-lived light-flavor hadron decays, is therefore important for the success of the CMS physics program. Multivariate techniques have been shown to deliver better muon identification performance than traditional selection techniques. To take full advantage of the large data set currently being collected during Run 3 of the CERN LHC, a new multivariate classifier based on a gradient-boosted decision tree has been developed. It offers a significantly improved separation of signal and background muons compared to a similar classifier used for the analysis of the Run 2 data. The performance of the new classifier is evaluated on a data set collected with the CMS detector in 2022 and 2023, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 62 fb$^{-1}$.

title: Von der Geworfenheit zur Getragenheit
Creators: name: Merkl, Martin
Year: 2011

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Transformation des Heideggerschen Seinsbegriffes durch die Philosophie Peter Sloterdijks. Dabei werden im ersten Teil als Grundlage für die weitere Erkundung die wichtigsten Positionen des Existenzialismus von Martin Heidegger genau analysiert. Der Fokus liegt hier vor allem auf Heideggers Frage nach dem Sein und deren Verlegung ins einzelne Dasein. Schließlich wird Heideggers Untersuchung des Alltags dieses Daseins einer Prüfung unterzogen. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf der Darstellung folgender von Heidegger so benannten Existenzialien: das In-der-Welt-Sein, die Verfallenheit an das Man, die Geworfenheit, die Angst, die Sorge, die Fürsorge, die Sorge im Umgang mit Dingen, das Sein zum Tode und dem Ruf der Eigentlichkeit. Die Ergebnisse dieser Darstellung werden dann mit dem Daseins-Verständnis von Peter Sloterdijk in Vergleich gesetzt. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wird zuerst eine Einordnung von Sloterdijks Werk ins Koordinatensystem der Philosophie vorgenommen. Danach folgt eine ausführliche Analyse seiner besonderen Schreibmethode. Unter dem Stichwort „Sphärologie“ wird die Existenzgeschichte des Menschen sowohl mikro- als auch makrohistorisch nachgezeichnet. Die aus der „Sphärologie“ gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden Heideggers Existenzialien gegenübergestellt. Nun kann verständlich gemacht werden, wo die entscheidenden Kritikpunkte Sloterdijks an der Heideggerschen Existenzphilosophie zu finden sind und des Weiteren, wo und mit welchen Mitteln Sloterdijk an Heidegger anschließt, und einige seiner Thesen in die Sprache des 21. Jahrhunderts transformiert.

description: This study extends the research of Ferreira and Teles (2019), who synthesized works by Cialdini (2007), Gragg (2003), and Stajano and Wilson (2011) to propose a unique list of persuasion principles in social engineering. While Ferreira and Teles focused on email subject lines, this research analyzed entire email contents to identify principles of human persuasion in phishing emails. This study also examined the goals and targets of phishing emails, providing a novel contribution to the field. Applying these findings to the ontological model by Mouton et al. (2014) reveals that when social engineers use email for phishing, individuals are the primary targets. The goals are typically unauthorized access, followed by financial gain and service disruption, with Distraction as the most commonly used compliance principle. This research highlights the importance of understanding human persuasion in technology-mediated interactions to develop methods for detecting and preventing phishing emails before they reach users. Despite previous identification of luring elements in phishing emails, empirical findings have been inconsistent. For example, Akbar (2014) found 'authority' and 'scarcity' most common, while Ferreira et al. (2015) identified 'liking' and 'similarity.' In this study, 'Distraction' was most frequently used, followed by 'Deception,' 'Integrity,' and 'Authority.' This paper offers additional insights into phishing email tactics and suggests future solutions should leverage socio-technical principles. Future work will apply this methodology to other social engineering techniques beyond phishing emails, using the ontological model to further inform the research community.
