description: Superconducting generators can possibly give a compact and lightweight drive train at high torques and low rotational speeds since high magnetic fields can be created [8]. Among these superconducting generators, fully superconducting machines are more advantageous than others because of their high power density and efficiency. In this thesis, a major focus is on optimizing the stator winding for a 10 MW fully superconducting offshore wind turbine synchronous generator (FSWTG), with High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) used in both the stator and rotor winding. This study is part of the SuperGenSys project at Fraunhofer IEE, Kassel, which aims to design, optimize, and evaluate the 10 MW fully HTS generator. Due to the relationship between the critical current and the flux density, the performance of machines with HTS armature and field windings can be more sensitive to design parameters than conventional electrical machines. The effect of stator geometry on the machine with HTS armature windings is explored in this work [22]. In a fully superconducting generator, defining the armature winding entails making a key design decision. Therefore, an investigation is performed for the 10 MW FSWTG with four different armature windings (one and two-layer concentrated winding, air-gap winding, and one-layer distributed winding). To analyze the behavior of the 10 MW FSWTG at different ampere loading and operating temperatures, a detailed design and analysis has been carried out in this study to select the suitable winding concept using the FEM software called FEMAG-DC.

description: Family Microcharmidae Lourenço, 1996   Type Genus. Microcharmus Lourenço, 1995.
 Composition. The family includes two genera, Microcharmus and Neoprotobuthus (Fet, 2000d).
 Distribution. Madagascar.
 Taxonomic history. This family was first introduced as a monotypic subfamily of Buthidae (Lourenço, 1996a), and later elevated to the family rank (Lourenço, 1998a), with only a preliminary justification. Lourenço (1998b) also included in Microcharmidae the subfamily Akentrobuthinae (with a single African genus, Akentrobuthus) (Fet, 2000d). Later, however, Lourenço (2000b) transferred Akentrobuthus back to Buthidae. Since subfamilies in Buthidae are currently not defined, the status of Akentrobuthinae remains undetermined. An additional genus, Neoprotobuthus, was described in Microcharmidae by Lourenço (2002b).
 Biogeographic history. Lourenço (1996a) discussed in detail scorpion taxa endemic to Madagascar, which
generally are related to the African fauna and diverged with the split of Gondwanaland.
 Diagnosis. A diagnosis cannot be provided as justifying a separate family. Microcharmidae were defined as a subfamily of Buthidae by Lourenço (1996a: 27), and further as a family (Lourenço, 1998a: 845–847), but the given features are not diagnostic even at subfamily level.
 Discussion. Lourenço (1996b, 1996d) suggested that the genus Microcharmus is closely related to the Indian genus Charmus (Buthidae), which would correspond to the Gondwanaland origin of the group but violates the monophyly of Buthidae. The relationship between Microcharmidae and Buthidae is also unclear since there was no combined phylogenetic analysis of these families.
R. Teruel (pers. comm., 1999; Fet, 2000d: 421) noticed that Akentrobuthinae Lamoral, 1976 had a priority over Microcharmidae Lourenço, 1996; therefore when Lourenço (1998b) decided to include Akentrobuthinae in Microcharmidae, the combined family name should have been changed to Akentrobuthidae. However, since Akentrobuthinae was transferred back to Buthidae by Lourenço (2000b), no such change is required.

description: Parvorder Chaerilida Soleglad & Fet, new parvorder   Composition. This monotypic parvorder, established here, includes the monotypic superfamily Chaeriloidea. It corresponds to orthobothriotaxy “ Type B” (Vachon, 1974; Soleglad & Fet, 2001).
 Distribution. South and Southeast Asia. No fossil taxa are known.
 Biogeographic history. The parvorder and superfamily could have been established in Permian/Triassic, judging from their ancestral position in scorpion phylogeny. We cannot speculate on whether this lineage was localized or widespread since there are no fossils belonging to Chaerilida, and the parvorder is represented by a single monotypic genus.
 Diagnosis. Scorpions in the parvorder Chaerilida can be distinguished by the following characters: Synapomorphies. Orthobothriotaxy type B; pedipalp femoral  d 3 –d 4  trichobothria configuration points toward dorsoexternal carina; cheliceral fixed finger with median and basal denticles flush on surface, not conjoined on common trunk; sternum, type 1, exhibits subtle wide horizontal compression; maxillary lobes I spatulate; hemispermatophore is fusiform; pedipalp patella with ”6-carinae” configuration. Important Symplesiomorphies. Median denticle row (MD) of pedipalp chelal finger arranged in oblique groups; pedipalp chela exhibits “8-carinae” configuration; ventral edge of cheliceral movable finger crenulated; dorsal edge of cheliceral movable finger with a single subdistal denticle; ventral surface of cheliceral fixed finger with denticles; leg tibial spurs absent.

Continual Learning in Object Detection

description: Object detection concerns the classification and localization of objects in an image. To cope with changes in the environment, such as when new classes are added or a new domain is encountered, the detector needs to update itself with the new information while retaining knowledge learned in the past. Previous works have shown that training the detector solely on new data would produce a severe "forgetting" effect, in which the performance on past tasks deteriorates through each new learning phase. However, in many cases, storing and accessing past data is not possible due to privacy concerns or storage constraints. This project aims to investigate promising continual learning strategies for object detection without storing and accessing past training images and labels. We show that by utilizing the pseudo-background trick to deal with missing labels, and knowledge distillation to deal with missing data, the forgetting effect can be significantly reduced in both class-incremental and domain-incremental scenarios. Furthermore, an integration of a small latent replay buffer can result in a positive backward transfer, indicating the enhancement of past knowledge when new knowledge is learned.

description: Forecasting is the task of predicting future values, taking into account historical data. We forecast energy prices taking into consideration load, generation, historical prices and weather data. This thesis aims to solve this task using a Transformer model. While Transformers are typically used for NLP tasks, there have recently been some successful applications of Transformers for forecasting. In addition to predicting the prices, we try to estimate the uncertainty of this prediction by probabilistic forecasting. We experiment with different types of distributions and determine which distribution would be the best for probabilistic forecasting. We also study how probabilistic forecasting affects the model’s results compared to deterministic forecasting. We find that Transformers outperform other deep learning models. Additionally, probabilistic forecasting helps improve the accuracy in some cases and is helpful in understanding the uncertainty in the model’s prediction.

description: Increasingly, gastronomy is playing a role in people’s motivation for travel, and destinations are making food and beverages their main attraction. This study explored the growing field of gastronomic tourism, a type of niche tourism, through the theoretical framework of destination branding theory. Using a qualitative case study research design, this research examined the branding of the emergent region of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada as a gastronomic niche tourism destination from the perspective of tourism industry players. Findings indicated that the region turned to gastronomic tourism due to its agricultural history and need for economic development. It was also found that tourism industry players utilized the processes of brand identity, product development, collaboration, support and communication to brand the region. This study contributes scholarly and practical knowledge to the areas of tourism and branding, by providing insight into the development, management and promotion of destination brands.

description: Recently, many authors from various theoretical backgrounds have written books or articles trying to clarify what the role of the sovereign state is within the wider political context of “global politics.” This thesis seeks to critically engage with the way in which this debate has been framed by the vast majority of these authors. Indeed, while most authors frame this debate as an essentially empirical disagreement concerning the objective composition of global politics, we will be arguing that it is really a debate that concerns the problem of political foundation and the possibly changing nature of the dominant ways of answering this problem in contemporary “global politics.” From this perspective, the vast majority of those involved in this debate simply pass over - as somehow analytically uninteresting - most of the questions that would really need to be explained and understood. This thesis seeks to address this crucial oversight

Ce manuscrit contient la compilation intitulée : La Vie et miracles de Nostre Dame qui constitue la mise en prose de miracles en vers du XIIIe siècle. D’un point de vue philologique, le but était d’étudier le rapport entre les formes des textes versifiés en ancien français et les formes en moyen français de la compilation. Le travail philologique comprend la transcription du manuscrit, un apparat critique, un glossaire, un index lemmatisé, l’index des noms propres et une analyse grammaticale des traits dialectaux de l’œuvre qui reflètent la phonétique du dialecte picard. La problématique sur laquelle repose cette recherche est double. D’un point de vue philologique, il est question d’éclairer le rapport entre les formes anciennes, qu’offrent les textes versifiés en ancien français du XIIIe siècle, et les formes modernes en moyen français du recueil de Jehan Miélot. En puisant des exemples à la fois dans les récits de miracles versifiés du XIIIe siècle et dans la compilation du XVe siècle, cette étude permet de situer le recueil dans le contexte de la tradition médiévale des récits miraculaires de la Vierge Marie

description: This thesis engages with the relationship between national identity, security-based narratives, and foreign policy. It focuses on the 1982 Lebanon War as the most controversial in Israel's history because it violated the Israeli societal norm of only fighting wars of self-defence (when there is no alternative to war). Through an examination of Israeli films about the 1982 war – Ricochets, Time for Cherries, Cup Final, Waltz with Bashir and Lebanon – this thesis studies the identity crisis experienced by Israelis after the invasion of Lebanon and the coping mechanisms that helped Israeli society reconcile the war with the security-based narratives that inform collective identity in Israel.
description: Cette thèse a pour objet la relation entre l’identité nationale, les récits sécuritaires et la politique étrangère. Elle se base sur la Guerre du Liban de 1982 en tant que guerre la plus controversée des guerres israéliennes en raison de sa contradiction avec la norme israélienne de seulement mener des guerres de légitime défense (à savoir lorsqu'il n'y a aucun autre recours que la guerre). À travers un examen des films israéliens qui traitent de la guerre de 1982 – Ricochets, Time for Cherries, Cup Final, Waltz with Bashir et Lebanon – cette thèse discute de la crise identitaire vécue par les Israéliens à la suite de l'invasion du Liban et s’intéresse aux stratégies d'adaptation qui ont aidé la société israélienne à réconcilier la guerre avec les récits sécuritaires qui font partie de la construction de l'identité collective israélienne.

description: The European Union agreed to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which requires to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors. The industry sector and particularly the production of the basic materials steel and cement are responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings are one of the main demand sectors for these materials. To decarbonise the production of steel and cement, new production processes must be established, which are related to diverse challenges, such as economics and import dependencies. A circular economy in buildings can contribute to decarbonise the industry sector efficiently by reducing basic material demand. This thesis assesses the contribution of a circular economy in buildings to decarbonising basic material industries. It combines multiple methods to provide comprehensive insights to guide policy making.

 Distribution. South and Southeast Asia.
 Taxonomic history. This superfamily name was first used by Lourenço (2000a) who included under it two families, Chaerilidae and Pseudochactidae. We restrict the content of Chaeriloidea to Chaerilidae, and establish a separate parvorder and superfamily for Pseudochactidae.
 Diagnosis. As in parvorder Chaerilida.
 Discussion. Contrary to the opinion of Stockwell (1989: 180), Lamoral (1980) was not the first to use the name Chaeriloidea since he only used a vernacular name “chaeriloids”.

description: La guerre en Bosnie-Herzégovine fut un conflit des plus meurtriers qui a apporté un discours inflammatoire conduisant à des dérapages sur le terrain entre les diverses forces en présence, et ce, au détriment d’une population prise en otage par une poignée de décideurs politiques et de leurs élites de la sécurité (policiers, militaires, agences de renseignements, etc.) qui ne cherchaient qu’à décider individuellement des enjeux politiques ayant lieu. Un conflit européen que nous avons exploré par l’utilisation du cadre théorique de la sécurisation/désécurisation d’Ole Waever, et ce, afin de mieux comprendre comment une sécurisation à l’extrême, au travers d’un acte de langage (speech act), peut se développer jusqu’à apporter la violence physique comme mode de résolution de différends. Un processus inquiétant qui soulève toute la question de la désécurisation comme approche d’euphémisation d’une menace afin de soustraire toutes tentatives de sécurisation de se développer ou d’être exploitées. Une approche qui nous a permis d’ouvrir la « boîte noire » qu’est l’État pour mieux saisir ces particularités ainsi que les luttes de pouvoir s’y déroulant. Une lutte de pouvoir qui se joue entre multiples acteurs qui ne peuvent être négligés dans toute situation sécuritaire. Une avenue choisie qui nous a permis de déterminer des options de désécurisation souhaitables qui auraient pu être explorées afin de maintenir la stabilité politique de cet État en devenir. Le tout nous permettant de dire que la désécurisation de la BiH comme approche fut une opportunité manquée.

description: Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology has evolved the way components are designed, prototyped and manufactured. Additive Manufacturing (AM) based on powder as the base material can be classified into categories such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). The LMD process allows layer-wise deposition of metal powders using a high-energy laser beam, creating complex near-net-shaped metallic parts. Characterized by excellent castability and mechanical properties, AlSi10Mg alloy is used in various industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive and healthcare. LMD using AlSi10Mg alloy offers advantages such as reduced material waste, enhanced design freedom and improved part performance. This research focuses on the development and optimization of the process parameters that influence the quality and integrity of AlSi10Mg demonstrators produced via LMD. Development of parameters based on the deposition of single tracks using Design of Experiments (DOE) and observing the cross-section of these tracks to determine the porosity and the dilution of the material into the substrate. Further development of tracks such as thin walls to produce structures known as Added Value Functional Features (AVFFs), thereby increasing strength and providing a new generation of crash-resistant structures that can be implemented in the automotive industry.

description: Family Chaerilidae Pocock, 1893   Type Genus. Chaerilus Simon, 1877.
 Composition. This monotypic family includes a single genus, Chaerilus (Fet, 2000a; Kovařík, 2000b)
 Distribution. South and Southeast Asia.
 Taxonomic history. This taxon was established early by Pocock (1893) as a subfamily of Chactidae, and first elevated to the family rank by Kraepelin (1899). Interestingly, Laurie (1896b) placed it as a subfamily under Buthidae, and cladistic analysis of Stockwell (1989) also showed that Chaerilidae are a sister group of Buthidae. Some authors considered Chaerilus to be related to the genus Calchas (now in Iuridae) (Birula, 1917a, 1917b; Werner, 1934). The rank and placement of this taxon remained ambiguous until Vachon (1956, 1963, 1971) demonstrated a very distinct cheliceral dentition and trichobothrial pattern for the genus Chaerilus. The work of Vachon (1974) firmly reestablished Chaerilidae as a separate family with the unique trichobothrial “ Type B”. Stockwell (1989) placed Chaerilidae in his superfamily Buthoidea together with Buthidae. A revision of Chaerilidae was published by Kovařík (2000b).
 Biogeographic history. Unclear. Modern species of Chaerilus are limited to tropical areas of South And Southeast Asia, although they reach considerable altitudes in Kashmir, Nepal, and Tibet (Kovařík, 2000b), which indicates their ecological plasticity and tolerance of cold climate. Lamoral (1980) suggested that Chaerilidae originated in Pangaen times as an eastern Laurasian relict, and then moved into the Oriental region after the Indian plate connected with Eurasia; and then became isolated in the Oriental region as the Himalayas formed. This is only a plausible speculation based exclusively on modern distribution of Chaerilus. Lourenço (1996a, 1996d) noted that their Laurasian origin would explain absence of Chaerilidae in Madagascar.

description: The role of the spatial representation in the relation between chronic exposure to NO2 and respiratory health outcomes is studied through a spatial approach encompassing three conceptual components: the geography of susceptibility, the geography of exposure and the geography of risk. A spatially explicit methodology that defined natural neighbourhoods for the city of Ottawa is presented; it became the geography of analysis in this research. A LUR model for Ottawa is developed to study the geography of exposure. Model sensitivity to the spatial representation of population showed that dasymetric population mapping did not provide significant improvements to the LUR model over population at the dissemination block level. However, both the former were significantly better than population represented at the dissemination area. Spatial representation in the geography of exposure was also evaluated by comparing four kriging and cokriging interpolation models to the LUR. Geostatistically derived NO2 concentration maps were weakly correlated with LUR model results. The relationship between mean NO2 concentrations and respiratory health outcomes was assessed within the natural neighbourhoods. We find a statistically significant association between NO2 concentrations and respiratory health outcomes as measured by global bivariate Moran’s I. However, for regression model building, NO2 had to be forced into the model, demonstrating that NO2 is not one of the main contributing variables to respiratory health outcomes in Ottawa. The results point toward the importance of the socioeconomic status on the health condition of individuals. Finally, the role of spatial representation was assessed using three different spatial structures, which also permitted to better understand the role of the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) in the study of the relationship between exposure to NO2 and health. The results confirm that NO2 concentration is not a major contributing factor to the respiratory health in Ottawa but clearly demonstrate the implications that the use of opportunistic administrative boundaries can have on results of exposure studies. The effects of the MAUP, the scale effect and the zoning effect, were observed indicating that a spatial structure that embodies the scale of major social processes behind the health condition of individuals should be used when possible.

description: In der Massenfertigung werden flexible Organisationsformen und dezentrale Steuerungsstrukturen als Lösungsansätze für volatile Märkte seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt diskutiert. Über die Einsatzgrenzen in einem Fertigungssystem kann jedoch ohne einen Leistungsvergleich keine Aussage getroffen werden. Die Untersuchung einer Vielzahl von Algorithmen ist zeit- und ressourcenaufwändig. Um eine praxistaugliche Schätzung der Einsatzgrenzen zu ermöglichen, wird eine Angleichung der Auswahllogik bei der Entscheidungsfindung vorgenommen, sodass diese anhand der Eigenschaften proaktives Rüsten und Aktualität der Entscheidungsgrundlage bestimmt werden können. Ein Simulationsmodell wurde entwickelt und Simulationsstudien durchgeführt. Für die Berechnung einer Kennzahl und den Vergleich von Simulationsalternativen wurde ein existierendes Verfahren automatisiert. Die Sieger aus den Vergleichen werden in Entscheidungshilfen operationalisiert. Das entwickelte Verfahren ermöglicht eine performantere Simulation und die Bestimmung minimal möglicher Einsatzgrenzen der Werkstattfertigung.

Rogers' concept of the fully functioning person: An adequate portrayal of human freedom?
Creators: name: Di Blasio, Lina.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Carl Rogers, a leading figure in the Third Force Psychology, was keenly aware of the inadequacies of scientific psychology. He accurately observed that the main problem with psychology as a natural science is its approach, or philosophical presuppositions regarding the nature of the human being. For scientific psychology, persons are predetermined objects and human behaviour is nothing but causally determined reactions to external stimuli. In Persons or science: A philosophical question (1955) Rogers attempts to develop psychology into a human science. This science adopts a new approach, one which recognizes human freedom. From this new approach emerges his alternative view of the optimal human being, the fully functioning person. The purpose of this research is to explore the extent to which the Rogerian view of human freedom, as it is expressed in the concept of the fully functioning person, adequately establishes the specific difference between persons as free subjects and the determined objects of the natural sciences. The method adopted for this study is philosophical analysis. We will first situate Rogers in the historical and philosophical context in which he was trained and educated and which led him to oppose scientific psychology (chapter I). Next, the analysis (chapter II) will focus on the distinctive features of Rogers' fully functioning person. The evaluation (chapter III) will confront Rogers' attempt to develop a science of persons with the work of researchers known for their contribution in making psychology into a human science. These researchers are: Giorgi (1970), Luijpen (1962), and Strasser (1963). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

An Intelligent Versatile Pipeline for 6D Localization of Industrial Components in a Production Environment

description: Robots in manufacturing need a precise description of the position and orientation of a component to execute the planned tasks. Often, a component’s position is not fixed and cannot be directly taught to the robot. Its position and orientation must then be determined dynamically before starting the process. Solutions addressing this problem are mainly developed using traditional computer vision approaches and cannot be transferred to other use cases or even components in many cases. Using AI-assisted robotics, an intelligent and versatile pipeline is presented in this work. It can simplify the 6D localization task into smaller modular tasks which can be adapted to multiple use cases for any desired component.

description: Improved design to reduce contaminant mass loadings from waste rock piles is an increasingly important consideration. In certain cases, an engineered cover system containing a flow control layer (FCL) may be used to mitigate the release of metals out of a pile using capillary barrier effects (CBEs), diverting water away from reactive materials below. In this study, a reactive transport model was calibrated to observational data from a laboratory experiment designed to evaluate a cover system. The results show that the numerical model is capable of capturing flow rates out of multiple drainage ports and matching key effluent concentrations by including the spatial distribution of hydraulic parameters and mineral weathering rates. Simulations were also useful for characterizing the internal flow pathways within the laboratory experiment, showing the effectiveness of the cover in diverting the flow away from the reactive waste rock and identifying secondary CBEs between different rock types. The numerical model proved beneficial in building an improved understanding of the processes controlling the metal release and conceptualizing the system. The model was expanded to investigate the robustness of the cover system as a function of the applied infiltration rate, supporting that water diversion will occur with infiltration rates representative of field conditions.

Life Cycle Gap Analyse

description: In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Vision einer Circular Economy - als ein Lösungsansatz - und der Lebenszyklusanalyse - als ein Bewertungsansatz - im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung auf Mikro- bzw. Produktebene dargestellt und potentielle Spannungsfelder näher beleuchtet. Daraus resultierend wird der methodische Weiterentwicklungsbedarf in der Auswertung produktbezogener Lebenszyklusanalysen zur verbesserten Berücksichtigung der Belange einer Circular Economy aufgezeigt und anhand der sog. "Life Cycle Gap Analyse" ein möglicher Lösungsansatz vorgestellt. Zwei konkrete Anwendungsbeispiele, bei denen ein Einweggetränkebecher und ein Stellring für eine geregelte Pendelschieber-Ölpumpe näher beleuchtet werden, demonstrieren den Nutzen des Konzepts und zeigen auf, wie eine systematische Integration von Denkweisen und Strategien zur Schließung technischer Kreisläufe in die Praxis des Life Cycle Assessment und Life Cycle Costing erfolgen kann. Gleichzeitig nimmt der Autor im Sinne der Vision einer Circular Economy eine notwendige Einschränkung der Methode hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit vor. Die Dissertation liefert damit einen relevanten Beitrag zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit auf Produktebene.

description: Quantum sensing is a rapidly evolving field with the outlook of surpassing classical limitations. The field encompasses techniques such as noise-reduced imaging, super-resolution microscopy, as well as imaging and spectroscopy in challenging spectral ranges. Spontaneous parametric down-conversion sources are often employed for the generation of the correlated biphoton states required for these detection schemes. In this work a general simulation method is demonstrated and used to reproduce the absolute counts of an experiment. Further, a gap exists between theoretical predictions for the performance of quantum-sensing systems and experimental results. This work bridges that gap with a simulation method for quantum-sensing with undetected light which includes experimental imperfections. For this, a theoretical approach is developed, and its capabilities are demonstrated with the simulation of aligned and misaligned quantum-imaging experiments. The results recreate the characteristics of the experimental data and are used to identify errors in experimental setups. The presented methods are broadly applicable and provide a step toward powerful simulation tools for quantum-sensing systems.
Analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Larix.
Creators: name: DeVerno, Linda L.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: We have isolated both mitochondrial and total genomic DNA from Larix species to examine the physical and genetic complexity of mitochondrial DNA and to determine mitochondrial inheritance patterns in Larix hybrid crosses, using restriction endonuclease and Southern hybridization analyses with specific wheat mitochondrial gene probes. In addition, these techniques have been used to identify restriction fragment length polymorphisms in somatic embryogenic cell cultures and corresponding regenerated hybrid Larix trees. Evaluation of mitochondrial gene hybridization patterns of two Larix species and their reciprocal hybrids demonstrated a maternal mode of inheritance of mitochondrial DNA gene sequences. Conifers appear to have evolved mechanisms for organelle exclusion during fertilization, resulting in a predominantly uniparental mode of inheritance of their organelles (Owens and Morris, 1990). Maternal inheritance of the mitochondrial genome together with paternal inheritance of the chloroplast genome in Larix hybrid crosses will be useful in the determination of maternal and paternal contributions in hybrid and introgressed Larix populations, and will increase the precision in determining phylogenies of this species.

description: Although previous studies have focused on the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on various professional groups (particularly in the health and nursing care sector), this study aims to close a research gap by assessing perspectives of students and young professionals in epidemiology and public health in Germany in terms of shifts in workload, work content, and related challenges caused by the pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional survey between mid-February and mid-March 2022. Quantitative data were analyzed via standardized mean differences. Qualitative data based on answers to open-ended questions were analyzed via a qualitative content analysis. Overall, 172 individuals participated in this survey. Results indicate that students felt burdened the most by lack of exchange with other students and lecturers. Study participants employed in public health experienced changes in their employment because they had changes in their work content- and administration, which was accompanied by a high burden due to the workload. Multiple demands that can have an impact on both acquired skills and mental health during the professional qualification phase were mentioned by the participants. Therefore, more in-depth analyses are needed to investigate the impact the pandemic will have on the (future) public health workforce in the long run. © 2022 by the authors

description: In recent years, new technologies have been introduced in the field of architecture and construction, since it is one of the factors affecting the field architecture. Therefore, the study of the effects of climatic factors on these structures is of particular importance. The difference in latitude is low, and all of it has the same radiation and heat. This was not enough to increase the space and tourism of the island, thus increasing the need for high-rise manufacturing. Therefore, this article attempts to study and analyze this type of structure, the advantages and disadvantages and revising the position of this structure on Kish Island.
