Quantum transport through open systems
Creators: name: Wu, Jinshan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: To study transport properties, one needs to investigate the system of interest when coupled to biased external baths. This requires solving a master equation for this open quantum system. Obtaining this solution is very challenging, especially for large systems. This limits applications of the theories of open quantum systems, especially insofar as studies of transport in large quantum systems, of interest in condensed matter, is concerned. In this thesis, I propose three efficient methods to solve the Redfield equation --- an example of such a master equation. The first is an open-system Kubo formula, valid in the limit of weak bias. The second is a solution in terms of Green's functions, based on a BBGKY (Bogoliubov--Born--Green--Kirkwood--Yvon)-like hierarchy. In the third, the Redfield equation is mapped to a generalized Fokker-Planck equation using the coherent-state representation. All three methods, but especially the latter two, have much better efficiency than direct methods such as numerical integration of the Redfield equation via the Runge-Kutta method. For a central system with a d-dimensional Hilbert space, the direct methods have complexity of d³, while that of the latter two methods is on the order of order of polynomials of log d. The first method, besides converting the task of solving the Redfield equation to solving the much easier Schrödinger's equation, also provides an even more important conceptual lesson: the standard Kubo formula is not applicable to open systems. Besides these general methodologies, I also investigate transport properties of spin systems using the framework of the Redfield equation and with direct methods. Normal energy and spin transport is found for integrable but interacting systems. This conflicts with the well-known conjecture linking anomalous conductivity to integrability, and it also contradicts the relationship, suggested by some, between gapped systems (Jz > Jxy) and normal spin conductivity. I propose a new conjecture, linking anomalous transport to the existence of a mapping of the problem to one for non-interacting particles.
Inventory behavior and economic instability in Japan

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether or not the behavior of Japanese inventory investment is consistent with the U.S. and Western European experience. The behavior of Japanese inventory investment could differ due to such factors as industry inventory management techniques (the "just in time" system), the relative influence of demand versus cost shocks, the relation between the level of output and the convexity (and or concavity) of the production function, and the ability of Japanese firms to successfully backlog unfilled demand. The next section of this paper examines the contribution of inventory investment to economic instability in Japan and compares the results with the U.S. and four large European economies. Section 3 specifies a general model of inventory investment and presents estimates of the model for Japan. The final section contrasts the results of this study with those for other countries and summarizes the principal conclusions.

description: In this paper we calculate the position and momentum space information entropies for the quantum states associated with a particular physical system, i.e. the isotonic oscillator Hamiltonian. We present our results for its ground states, as well as for its excited states. We observe that the lower bound of the sum of the position and momentum entropies expressed by the Beckner, Bialynicki-Birula and Mycielski (BBM) inequality is satisfied. Moreover, there exist eigenstates that exhibit squeezing in the position information entropy. In fact, entropy squeezing, which occurs in position, will be compensated for by an increase in momentum entropy, such that the BBM inequality is guaranteed. To complete our study we investigate the amplitude squeezing in $x$ and $p$-quadratures corresponding to the eigenstates of the isotonic oscillator and show that amplitude squeezing, again in $x$, will be revealed as expected, while the Heisenberg uncertainty relationship is also satisfied. Finally, our numerical calculations of the entropy densities will be presented graphically.

description: As the two largest economies of the free world, the United States and Japan share the responsibility of facing and surmounting a number of formidable challenges. They must work together to reduce their foreign trade and financial imbalances and to encourage other countries to do likewise, without endangering world economic growth and stability. Ways must be found to resolve the prospects of the poorest countries of Africa and Asia. Japan and the United States must cooperate in providing generous and disinterested assistance to the developing countries of South East Asia and in supporting the further development of the region. They must work together to ensure stability in world capital and financial markets. The author believes these are the aims of the Bush agenda in its relationship with Japan.

description: Wird ein Problem chronisch, könnte man dies als Mangel an Kreativität interpretieren. Die Antwort auf die Frage „wie könnte eine Problemlösung ohne schädliche Nebenwirkungen aussehen?“ fällt häufig allerdings nicht leicht. 
Der vorliegende Arbeitsbericht hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, für solche Problemlösungen die Aufmerksamkeit auf eine Tür zu lenken, die heutzutage tendenziell verschlossen ist. Die Empfehlung lautet, das gewohnte Denken zu transzendieren. Viele große Künstler und Wissenschaftler sind diesen Weg gegangen und haben auf diese Weise Kreatives hervorgebracht. So hat sich z.B. Johannes Brahms für seine Kompositionen in einen besonderen Zustand versetzt, der ihm „transzendentale Offenbarungen“ ermöglichte. Er erwähnte auch, dass jeder Mensch über solche Möglichkeiten verfügt, um auf diese Weise unkonventionelle Problemlösungen auf die Erde zu holen.

description: Das Verhalten von Fußgängern wird seit einigen Jahrzehnten mit dem Ziel erforscht, Empfehlungen zur Reduzierung von Verletzten und Toten im Straßenverkehr auszusprechen. Diese Studie befasst sich mit ausgewählten Ergebnissen nationaler und internationaler Studien zum Fußgängerverhalten und verfolgt das Ziel, die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse anhand einer verdeckten Beobachtung von Fußgängern im Straßenverkehr zu überprüfen. Hierzu wurde das Verhalten an einer Fußgängerampel in Hannover an zwei Wochentagen mehrere Stunden lang beobachtet. Bei der Auswertung der Ergebnisse konnten signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen den untersuchten Einflussgrößen und dem Verhalten der beobachteten Personen festgestellt werden. Insbesondere deren Alter, die Anwesenheit weiterer Personen und das Fehlverhalten weiterer Personen erwiesen sich als die wichtige Prädiktoren für die Entscheidung, selbst bei Rot zu gehen.
description: The behaviour of pedestrians has been a matter of interest in the past decades, since the in-depth exploration of road traffic has come to the focus of scientific studies, with the aim to give recommendations for reducing injuries and deaths on the road. This study focuses on selected results of national and international studies on pedestrian behaviour and intends to proof and verify these research results on the basis of a covered observation of pedestrians in road traffic. For this purpose a pedestrian light in Hannover has been observed one morning and one afternoon of the same day of the week for several hours. Afterwards, the observed pedestrian behaviour has been statistical evaluated and interpreted. By analysing the results, significant relations between the cause variables and the subjects’ behaviour were detected. Especially their age, the presence of other persons and the misbehaviour of other persons turned out to be the most important influential factors for the pedestrian´s decision of crossing a street when the light is red.

description: "So what behavior is characteristic of an entrepreneur? Let me offer my experience as the founder of Materials Research Corporation (MRC), a premier supplier of thin film materials and the film process equipment for the semiconductor industry, as an example. As the semiconductor industry spread throughout the free world, I expanded the business by opening sales and service companies in several European countries as well as a manufacturing plant in Toulouse, France. Doing business in Japan, however, was not as straightforward because until 1980 foreign corporations could not organize a Japanese operation unless it was a Japanese majority-owned joint venture. Since my company had a considerable amount of proprietary technology, this was not acceptable to me. Therefore, for many years we were limited to working with distribution and sales agents in Japan."

description: As brown dwarfs cool, a variety of species condense in their atmospheres, forming clouds. Iron and silicate clouds shape the emergent spectra of L dwarfs, but these clouds dissipate at the L/T transition. A variety of other condensates are expected to form in cooler T dwarf atmospheres. These include Cr, MnS, Na2S, ZnS, and KCl, but the opacity of these optically thinner clouds has not been included in previous atmosphere models. Here, we examine their effect on model T and Y dwarf atmospheres. The cloud structures and opacities are calculated using the Ackerman & Marley (2001) cloud model, which is coupled to an atmosphere model to produce atmospheric pressure-temperature profiles in radiative-convective equilibrium. We generate a suite of models between Teff = 400 and 1300 K, log g=4.0 and 5.5, and condensate sedimentation efficiencies from fsed=2 to 5. Model spectra are compared to two red T dwarfs, Ross 458C and UGPS 0722-05; models that include clouds are found to match observed spectra significantly better than cloudless models. The emergence of sulfide clouds in cool atmospheres, particularly Na2S, may be a more natural explanation for the "cloudy" spectra of these objects, rather than the re-emergence of silicate clouds that wane at the L-to-T transition. We find that sulfide clouds provide a mechanism to match the near- and mid-infrared colors of observed T dwarfs. Our results indicate that including the opacity of condensates in T dwarf atmospheres is necessary to accurately determine the physical characteristics of many of the observed objects.

The Role of Effort Advantage in Consumer Response to Loyalty Programs: The Idiosyncratic Fit Heuristic
Creators: name: Kivetz, Ran
name: Simonson, Itamar
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Business

description: Over the past few years, customer relationship management and loyalty programs (LPs) have been widely adopted by companies and have received a great deal of attention from marketers, consultants, and, to a lesser degree, academics. In this research, we examine the effect of the level of effort required to obtain a LP's reward on consumers' perception of the LP's attractiveness. We propose that, under certain conditions, increasing the program requirements can enhance consumers' likelihood of joining the program, thus leading consumers to prefer a dominated option. Specifically, we hypothesize that consumers often evaluate LPs based on their individual effort to obtain the reward relative to the relevant reference effort (e.g., the effort of typical other consumers). When consumers believe they have an effort advantage relative to typical others (i.e., an idiosyncratic fit with the LP), higher program requirements magnify this perception of advantage and can therefore increase the overall perceived value of the program. This proposition was supported in a series of studies in which the perceived idiosyncratic fit was manipulated either by reducing the individual effort or by raising the reference effort. The findings also indicate that (a) idiosyncratic fit considerations are elicited spontaneously, (b) idiosyncratic fit mediates the effect of effort on consumer response to LPs, and (c) an alternative account for the results based on signaling is not supported. We conclude that these findings are part of a broader phenomenon, which we term the idiosyncratic fit heuristic, whereby a key factor that affects consumers' response to marketing programs and promotional offers is the perceived relative advantage or fit with the individual's idiosyncratic conditions and preferences.

description: Zunächst wird der Koalitionsvertrag daraufhin analysiert, welche Aussagen zur Zukunft der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung darin enthalten sind und welche Vorhaben sich an den betreffenden Aussagen ablesen lassen. Daran schließt sich eine Darstellung des ‚Gesundheitsprämienmodells’ von CDU und FDP an, das darauf folgend einer systematischen Kritik unterzogen wird. Wegen seiner besonderen Stellung in der gegenwärtigen gesundheitspolitischen Diskussion wird im Anschluss daran der so genannte ‚Sozialausgleich’ näher betrachtet. Dieser Begriff erweist sich bei näherer Betrachtung als irreführende ‚Fehletikettierung’, denn geplant ist nicht ein umfassender ‚sozialer Ausgleich’, wie ihn die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung gegenwärtig gewährleistet, sondern lediglich ein staatlicher Beitragszuschuss für hilfebedürftige Geringverdiener. Im Rahmen der Erörterung werden auch die zentralen Begründungsmuster für die Einführung eines steuerfinanzierten ‚Sozialausgleichs’ einer systematischen Kritik unterzogen. Dabei wird auch herausgearbeitet, dass die Umstellung auf eine Steuerfinanzierung der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung keineswegs zwangsläufig zu einer sozial gerechten Verteilung von Finanzierungslasten führt, wie dies von führenden Vertretern der Regierungskoalition behauptet wird.

description: We study how the combination of long and short laser pulses, can be used to induce torsion in an axially chiral biphenyl derivative (3,5-difluoro-3',5'-dibromo-4'-cyanobiphenyl). A long, with respect to the molecular rotational periods, elliptically polarized laser pulse produces 3D alignment of the molecules, and a linearly polarized short pulse initiates torsion about the stereogenic axis. The torsional motion is monitored in real-time by measuring the dihedral angle using femtosecond time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging. Within the first 4 picoseconds, torsion occurs with a period of 1.25 picoseconds and an amplitude of 3 degrees in excellent agreement with theoretical calculations. At larger times the quantum states of the molecules describing the torsional motion dephase and an almost isotropic distribution of the dihedral angle is measured. We demonstrate an original application of covariance analysis of two-dimensional ion images to reveal strong correlations between specific ejected ionic fragments from Coulomb explosion. This technique strengthens our interpretation of the experimental data.

im Pflegebereich dienen. Dazu wird zunächst ein Rückblick auf die Vorgeschichte und Hintergründe des Stellenabbaus sowie die Auswirkungen des Pflege-Förderprogramms und dessen Überführung in das DRG-System gegeben. Da die Frage einer staatlichen Regulierung der Personalbesetzung im Pflegedienst der Krankenhäuser sehr eng mit der Verteilung der Gesetzgebungskompetenzen zwischen Bund und Ländern verbunden ist, werden im darauf folgenden Kapitel Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Regulierung durch Landesrecht oder Bundesrecht vorgestellt und diskutiert. Daran schließt sich ein Überblick über die wichtigsten bisher vorgelegten Überlegungen und Vorschläge für eine staatliche Regulierung der Personalbesetzung an. Im darauf folgenden Kapitel werden die bisherigen Vorschläge einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen, dabei wird insbesondere auf die Frage der Eignung des DRG-­Systems als Ansatzpunkt für eine Regulierung der Personalbesetzung eingegangen. Daran anschließend werden zwei Regulierungsansätze, die möglicherweise besser geeignet wären, um verbindlich einzuhaltende Personalbesetzungsstandards nicht nur vorzugeben, sondern auch durchzusetzen: Eine Regulierung auf Landesebene im Rahmen der Krankenhausplanung und eine Regulierung auf Bundesebene, die den OPS nutzt, um die Einhaltung vorgegebener Personalbesetzungsstandards zur Bedingung für die Kodierung und somit auch Abrechnung von Leistungen macht. Das letzte Kapitel ist der Frage der Finanzierung verbindlich eizuhaltender Personalbesetzungsstandards gewidmet.

description: We study holographic three-dimensional fluids with vorticity in local equilibrium and discuss their relevance to analogue gravity systems. The Fefferman-Graham expansion leads to the fluid's description in terms of a comoving and rotating Papapetrou-Randers frame. A suitable Lorentz transformation brings the fluid to the non-inertial Zermelo frame, which clarifies its interpretation as moving media for light/sound propagation. We apply our general results to the Lorentzian Kerr-AdS_4 and Taub-NUT-AdS_4 geometries that describe fluids in cyclonic and vortex flows respectively. In the latter case we associate the appearance of closed timelike curves to analogue optical horizons. In addition, we derive the classical rotational Hall viscosity of three-dimensional fluids with vorticity. Our formula remarkably resembles the corresponding result in magnetized plasmas.

description: In this paper we make a contribution to this debate by considering several fundamental questions: What are the appropriate boundaries for the agenda of the WTO? What would constitute a "fair" agreement? What are the characteristics of a "fair" negotiating process? There are no universal answers to these questions, but there are answers that derive legitimacy from commonly agreed values implemented in a democratic process. This paper presents a set of values with a Rawlsian flavor, which we believe is consistent with the development focus of this round and a concern for social justice. In some cases we make the implications of these principles for the outcome of the negotiations explicit, however in most cases we refer the reader to more detailed discussion in Stiglitz and Charlton (2004).

description: Preparing molecules at rest and in a highly pure quantum state is a long standing dream in chemistry and physics, so far achieved only for a select set of molecules in dedicated experimental setups. Here, a quantum-limited combination of mass spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy is proposed that should be applicable to a wide range of molecular ions. Excitation of electrons in the molecule followed by uncontrolled decay and branching into several lower energy states is avoided. Instead, the molecule is always connected to rotational states within the electronic and vibrational ground-state manifold, while a co-trapped atomic ion provides efficient entropy removal and allows for extraction of information on the molecule. The outlined techniques might enable preparation, manipulation and measurement of a large multitude of molecular ion species with the same instrument, with applications including, but not limited to, precise determination of molecular properties and fundamental tests of physics.

description: The Middle Triassic Halfway Formation in west-central Alberta is interpreted as a series of prograding shoreface facies associations in a ramp setting within a progradational series of parasequence sets. These parasequence sets have been reworked syndepositionally by laterally discontinuous tidal inlet channels cutting perpendicular to the shoreline trend. During the course of this study 131 core from the Middle Triassic Halfway Formation were analyzed which have led to the documentation of ten lithofacies from the Halfway Formation. Depositional environment interpretations range from offshore marine to arid continental. From these ten lithofacies, five genetically related facies associations have been created by grouping together commonly occurring lithofacies. These facies associations include: distal shoreface and proximal shoreface siliciclastics, tidal inlet/channel bioclastic fill, continental evaporates, and biostrome carbonates. Major hydrocarbon exploration targets from this region include tidal inlet/channel fill as well as proximal shoreface sandstone. Evidence gathered in this study suggests a complex geological history to the region including multiple events of deposition, tectonism, and erosion prior to hydrocarbon emplacement. Extensive sedimentary structures indicative of seismic activity are observed in the study area suggesting that the Elmworth and Wapiti field areas were subjected to tectonic activity during or shortly after deposition of the Halfway Formation. This tectonic activity has complicated sequence stratigraphic correlations by creating over-thickened Halfway Formation sandstone intervals. This study has also documented the first Middle Triassic biostrome discovered in the subsurface of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This biostrome consists primarily of terebratulid brachiopods and sedimentological interpretations suggest it was formed within the lower shoreface. If discovered to have undergone the ideal paragenesis, biostrome deposits such as documented in this study could become highly significant hydrocarbon reservoirs within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

description: A pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar, em termos teóricos e práticos, de que forma a renda básica se mostra adequada no combate das desigualdades. Pretendeu-se, para tanto, elaborar um quadro teórico-prático do direito à renda básica enquanto ferramenta para diminuir a pobreza e fortalecer a cidadania. Nesse sentido, foi conduzido um estudo de caso da experiência estadunidense (Permanent Fund Dividend) na implementação do projeto de renda básica. Verificou-se que o protótipo de universalidade (destinando o benefício a todas as pessoas sem distinções de idade, condição econômica, etc.) adotado no Alasca, apesar de produzir significativos efeitos no estado, não pode ser observado, a priori, como modelo para o Brasil. Para tanto, utilizou-se de uma simulação dos efeitos distributivos de três modelos de transferência não contributiva com o fim de verificar, em termos quantitativos, o impacto orçamentário que cada um desses modelos traria na economia brasileira. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que, decorrente do sistema econômico brasileiro, a renda básica tende por operar pela seletividade (destinando o benefício às pessoas que vivem na pobreza ou extrema pobreza), principalmente por conta dos entraves operacionais; o que, por ventura, poderá ser transformado progressivamente por meio de um programa transitório, iniciando-se nos moldes da seletividade para posterior extensão para o resto da população a depender dos resultados e da exequibilidade com a experiência focalizada.
Does Fertility Respond to Financial Incentives?

description: There has been little empirical work evaluating the sensitivity of fertility to financial incentives at the household level. We put forward an identification strategy that relies on the fact that variation of wages induces variation in benefits and tax credits among "comparable" households. We implement this approach by estimating a discrete choice model of female participation and fertility, using individual data from the French Labor Force Survey and a fairly detailed representation of the French tax-benefit system. Our results suggest that financial incentives play a notable role in determining fertility decisions in France, both for the first and for the third child. As an example, an unconditional child benefit with a direct cost of 0.3% of GDP might raise total fertility by about 0.3 point.

description: Elastic scattering data for $^{141}$Pr($α$,$α$)$^{141}$Pr have been analyzed to derive a new energy-dependent local potential for the $^{141}$Pr-$α$ system. This potential is used successfully to predict the cross section of the $^{141}$Pr($α$,n)$^{144}$Pm reaction at low energies where new experimental data have become available very recently. Contrary to various global potentials, this new potential is able to reproduce simultaneously elastic scattering data around and above the Coulomb barrier and reaction data below the Coulomb barrier for the $^{141}$Pr-$α$ system. Reasons for the partial failure of the global potentials are explained by intrinsic properties of the scattering matrix and their variation with energy. The new local potential may become the basis for the construction of a new global $α$-nucleus potential.

description: This paper studies the relation between short-term and long-term interest rates in Japan. The paper finds that there was a change in the behavior of the Japanese term structure in the mid-1980's. Short-term rates became less forecastable from their own past history; at the same time, the ability of the Japanese yield curve to forecast short-term rates increased. In this sense the expectations theory has become a more appropriate description of the Japanese term structure, even though the theory is rejected at conventional levels of statistical significance.

description: OPERA collaboration has reported evidence of superluminal phenomenon for neutrinos. One of the possible ways to explain the superluminality is to have Lorentz symmetry violated. It has been shown that dispersion relations put forwards has the problem of physics laws vary in different inertial frames leading to conflicting results on Cherenkov-like radiation, pion decay and high energy neutrino cosmic ray. For theories with deformed Lorentz symmetry, by modifying conservation laws corresponding to energy and momentum in the usual Lorentz invariant theory, it is possible to have superluminal effect and at the same time avoid to have conflicts encountered in Lorentz violating theories. We study dispersion relations from deformed Lorentz symmetry. We find that it is possible to have dispersion relations which can be consistent with data on neutrinos. We show that once the superluminality $δv$ as a function of energy is known the corresponding dispersion relation in the deformed Lorentz symmetry can be determined.

description: Following a general discussion of the evolution of Japan's financial system and its broader relevance, this paper briefly discusses three issues. First, which is a better financial system: one based on banking (and main banks); or one based on competitive, efficient markets for the issuance of securities, notably bonds, shares, and commercial paper? Second, what is the requisite institutional infrastructure and what are the most appropriate and efficient institutional arrangements to finance the priority activities and sectors as defined by a country's development strategy? Third, from a political economy perspective, how are the rents generated in regulated systems characterized by below-market interest rate ceilings (e.g., financial repression and hence reliance upon bank loans) allocated among different potential claimants? Are the banks no more than handmaidens of authoritarian and/or corrupt regimes?

description: Final states involving tau leptons are important components of searches for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A proper treatment of tau spin effects in the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations is important for understanding the detector acceptance as well as for the measurements of tau polarization and tau spin correlations. In this note we present a TauSpinner package designed to simulate the spin effects. It relies on the availability of the four-momenta of the taus and their decay products in the analyzed data. The flavor and the four-momentum of the boson decaying to the tau-tau+ or tau+- nu pair need to be known. In the Z/gamma* case the initial state quark configuration is attributed from the intermediate boson kinematics, and the parton distribution functions (PDF's). TauSpinner is the first algorithm suitable for emulation of tau spin effects in tau-embedded samples. It is also the first tool that offers the user the flexibility to simulate a desired spin effect at the analysis level. An algorithm to attribute tau helicity states to a previously generated sample is also provided.

Fachliche Qualitätskriterien der Fußball-Kommentierung

description: Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Qualität von Fußball-Live-Kommentierungen im Fernsehen. Auf der Basis von theoretischen Vorüberlegungen, empirischen Befragungen sowie diversen „best practice“-Veröffentlichungen wurden sieben fachliche Kriterien abgeleitet. Diese wurden mittels einer Inhaltsanalyse der Kommentierungen von zwölf ausgewählten Spielen der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2016 geprüft. Dem formalen Anspruch, „nicht zu viel zu reden“ und die Bilder wirken zu lassen, wurde in allen Kommentierungen nachgekommen. Von sämtlichen Kommentatoren wurden viele „Hintergrundinformationen“ und „Informationen zur Taktik“ gegeben. „Fazits“ wurden ebenfalls häufig gezogen. „Verwechslungen von Spielern“ kamen in neun der zwölf Partien vor und passierten je nach Kommentator unterschiedlich oft. Die „schnelle und richtige Bewertung wichtiger Spielszenen“, hier betrachtet am Beispiel „elfmeterverdächtiger Foul- und Handspiele“, erfolgte meistens zutreffend, aber selten direkt auf die Live-Bilder, sondern vielfach erst nach dem Betrachten diverser Zeitlupen. Bei der „Kommentierung der Tore“ wurden die richtigen Torschützen und Assistgeber meist direkt erkannt; Analysen der Fehler in der Abwehr oder des Torwarts wurden nach Treffern selten vorgenommen. Insgesamt kann der Kommentierung eine hohe Qualität attestiert werden. Abstract – Englisch The present study examines the quality of live football commentary on television. Based on theoretical considerations, empirical surveys and various “best practice” publications seven professional criteria were derived and analysed. Therefore a content analysis was conducted of the comments of twelve selected games of the 2016 European Football Championship. Every commentator fulfilled the formal claim of “not talking too much” and letting the pictures speak for themselves. Many commentators provided lots of “background information” and “tactics information”. In addition, “conclusions” were often drawn. The “mix-up of player-names” occurred in nine of twelve games. Frequency differed depending on the commentator. The “quick and correct evaluation of important game scenes”, examined here by the example of “penalty-suspected fouls and deliberately handling the ball”, were mostly correct, but rather after looking on the slow motion-pictures. In “commentating on the goals”, the scorer and the player that helped to set up a goal were often recognized directly and correctly; analyses of mistakes made by the defense or the goalkeeper were infrequently conducted. Overall the commentations are on a high level of quality.

description:
Background Substantial number of women who deliver at home (WDH) are not captured in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. This delays HIV infection detection that negatively impacts endeavours to fight the HIV pandemic and the health of mothers and children. The study objective was to determine the feasibility of home-based HIV testing and linking to care for HIV services among WDH in Geita District Council, Tanzania. Methods A longitudinal household survey was conducted. The study involved all mentally-able women who delivered within 2 years (WDTY) preceding the survey and their children under the age of two. The study was conducted in Geita District Council in Geita Region, Tanzania from June to July 2017. Geita is among the region with high HIV prevalence and proportion of women delivering at home. Results Of the 993 women who participated in the study, 981 (98.8%) accepted household-based HIV counselling and testing (HBHCT) from the research team. HIV prevalence was 5.3% (52 women). HBHCT identified 26 (2.7%) new HIV infections; 23 (23.4%) were those tested negative at ANC and the remaining three (0.3%) were those who had no HIV test during the ANC visit. Among the 51 HIV+ women, 21 (40.4%) were enrolled in PMTCT services. Of the 32 HIV+ participants who delivered at home, eight (25.8%) were enrolled in the PMTCT compared to 100% (13/13) of the women who delivered at a health facility. Conclusion HBHCT uptake was high. HBHCT detected new HIV infection among WDH as well as seroconversion among women with previously negative HIV tests. The study findings emphasize the importance of extending re-testing to women who breastfeed. HBHCT is feasible and can be used to improve PMTCT services among WDH.
