description: We investigate the strength of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) within the CP-violating 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (C2HDM). By applying a renormalisation scheme which allows efficient scans of the C2HDM parameter space, we analyse the possibility of a strong first order EWPT required for baryogenesis and study its phenomenological implications for the LHC. Like in the CP-conserving (real) 2HDM (R2HDM) we find that a strong EWPT favours mass gaps between the non-SM-like Higgs bosons. These lead to prominent final states comprised of gauge+Higgs bosons or pairs of Higgs bosons. In contrast to the R2HDM, the CP-mixing of the C2HDM also favours approximately mass degenerate spectra with dominant decays into SM particles. The requirement of a strong EWPT further allows us to distinguish the C2HDM from the R2HDM using the signal strengths of the SM-like Higgs boson. We additionally find that a strong EWPT requires an enhancement of the SM-like trilinear Higgs coupling at next-to-leading order (NLO) by up to a factor of 2.4 compared to the NLO SM coupling, establishing another link between cosmology and collider phenomenology. We provide several C2HDM benchmark scenarios compatible with a strong EWPT and all experimental and theoretical constraints. We include the dominant branching ratios of the non-SM-like Higgs bosons as well as the Higgs pair production cross section of the SM-like Higgs boson for every benchmark point. The pair production cross sections can be substantially enhanced compared to the SM and could be observable at the high-luminosity LHC, allowing access to the trilinear Higgs couplings.

description: Besides the axion solution to the strong CP problem, there are other solutions working on the quark mass contribution to the theta term in the Standard Model. We show how flavor models can be constructed in a way not to show a strong CP problem and still allow for the right amount of CP violation in weak interactions.

description: Representations are derived for the basic scalar one-loop vertex Feynman integrals as meromorphic functions of the space-time dimension $d$ in terms of (generalized) hypergeometric functions $_2F_1$ and $F_1$. Values at asymptotic or exceptional kinematic points as well as expansions around the singular points at $d=4+2n$, $n$ non-negative integers, may be derived from the representations easily. The Feynman integrals studied here may be used as building blocks for the calculation of one-loop and higher-loop scalar and tensor amplitudes. From the recursion relation presented, higher n-point functions may be obtained in a straightforward manner.

description: Research shows that one in five children will experience a concussion by age 16. Compared to adults, children experience longer and more severe postconcussive symptoms (PCS), with severity and duration varying considerably among children and complicating management of these patients. Persistent PCS can result in increased school absenteeism, social isolation, and psychological distress. Although early PCS diagnosis and access to evidence-based interventions are strongly linked to positive health and academic outcomes, symptom severity and duration are not fully explained by acute post-injury symptoms. Prior research has focused on the role of neuroinflammation in mediating PCS and associated fatigue; however relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and PCS severity, has not examined longitudinally. To identify which children are at high risk for persistent PCS and poor health, academic, and social outcomes, research tracking PCS trajectories and describing school-based impacts across the entire first year postinjury is critically needed. This study will 1) define novel PCS trajectory typologies in a racially/ethnically diverse population of 500 children with concussion (11–17 years, near equal distribution by sex), 2) identify associations between these typologies and patterns of inflammatory biomarkers and genetic variants, 3) develop a risk stratification model to identify children at risk for persistent PCS; and 4) gain unique insights and describe PCS impact, including fatigue, on longer-term academic and social outcomes. We will be the first to use NIH’s symptom science model and patient-reported outcomes to explore the patterns of fatigue and other physical, cognitive, psychological, emotional and academic responses to concussion in children over a full year. Our model will enable clinicians and educators to identify children most at risk for poor long-term health, social, and academic outcomes after concussion. This work is critical to meeting our long-term goal of developing personalized concussion symptom-management strategies to improve outcomes and reduce disparities in the health and quality of life of children.

description: Lucky Charm is a collection of stories which explores the relationships of women with their fathers, their lovers, and occasionally, with themselves. By examining interactions during a small period of time, relationships are illuminated which mold and shape these women into who they are, and who they will become. What is interesting about the father-daughter relationship versus the relationship of lovers, are the both the distinctions, as well as the overlaps. The fact that there are similarities at all causes great complications. While most of the stories in the collection address one relationship or the other, when read in succession, there should be some sense of the two ideas speaking to each other in a conversation amongst different characters.

description: Joh. B. würde Burnet gerne persönlich kennenlernen, da er ihn mündlich besser als schriftlich informieren kann. Er gibt im Folgenden seine Substitution zur der Separation der Variablen der in Frage stehenden Gleichung an. Diese Methode liefert dann die gleiche Formel, der Craig seine Bedingungen der Quadrierbarkeit entnommen hat. Doch hat Craig einige Fälle, in denen die Kurve nicht quadrierbar ist, übersehen. Burnet hat die Druckfehler in der Formel Craigs richtig korrigiert. Dennoch beweist seine Rechnung nicht allgemein, dass die Kurve quadrierbar ist, wenn (m + r - e) / (mn - rm - en) eine positive ganze Zahl ist. Joh. B. bezeichnet seine Methode als die bessere, weil sie auf einen Blick die allgemeine Wahrheit zeigt. Seine Rechnungen sind im Gegensatz zu denen von Burnet kurz und leicht. Lange Rechnungen ergeben sich immer dann, wenn man Gleichungen mit unbekannten Koeffizienten einführt, wie dies Newton und Leibniz vor längerer Zeit getan haben. Verzaglia und Nic.

description: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes cognitive impairment and a distinctive craniofacial dysmorphology, due in part to apoptotic losses of the pluripotent cranial neural crest cells (CNCs) that form facial bones and cartilage. We previously reported that PAE rapidly represses expression of >70 ribosomal proteins (padj = 10-E47). Ribosome dysbiogenesis causes nucleolar stress and activates p53-MDM2-mediated apoptosis. Using primary avian CNCs and the murine CNC line O9-1, we tested whether nucleolar stress and p53-MDM2 signaling mediates this apoptosis. We further tested whether haploinsufficiency in genes that govern ribosome biogenesis, using a blocking morpholino approach, synergizes with alcohol to worsen craniofacial outcomes in a zebrafish model. In both avian and murine CNCs, pharmacologically relevant alcohol exposure (20mM, 2hr) causes the dissolution of nucleolar structures and the loss of rRNA synthesis; this nucleolar stress persisted for 18-24hr. This was followed by reduced proliferation, stabilization of nuclear p53, and apoptosis that was prevented by overexpression of MDM2 or dominant-negative p53. In zebrafish embryos, low-dose alcohol or morpholinos directed against ribosomal proteins Rpl5a, Rpl11, and Rps3a, the Tcof homolog Nolc1, or mdm2 separately caused modest craniofacial malformations, whereas these blocking morpholinos synergized with low-dose alcohol to reduce and even eliminate facial elements. Similar results were obtained using a small molecule inhibitor of RNA Polymerase 1, CX5461, whereas p53-blocking morpholinos normalized craniofacial outcomes under high-dose alcohol. Transcriptome analysis affirmed that alcohol suppressed the expression of >150 genes essential for ribosome biogenesis. We conclude that alcohol causes the apoptosis of CNCs, at least in part, by suppressing ribosome biogenesis and invoking a nucleolar stress that initiates their p53-MDM2 mediated apoptosis. We further note that the facial deficits that typify PAE and some ribosomopathies share features including reduced philtrum, upper lip, and epicanthal distance, suggesting the facial deficits of PAE represent, in part, a ribosomopathy.

description: Background: Improving neighborhood walkability is critical for sustainable and livable urban development and is associated with increased physical activity. The Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated (NEWS-A) is a tool for assessing neighborhood walkability among adults. Currently, no Arabic version is available for this important walkability scale. Objective: To translate the NEWS-A to Arabic, culturally adapt, and pre-test it for adults. Methods: The NEWS-A was translated and culturally adapted using Crosscultural Survey Guidelines and then pre-tested using 65 households selected randomly from the neighborhoods of three districts in Riyadh. After answering the survey, 55 participants took part in a semi-structured cognitive interview, which sought their understanding of the words in the Arabic questionnaire, the clarity of each item, and their suggestions for improvement. Results: Translation and adaptation of NEWS-A to Arabic resulted in adding two items (mosque and healthcare center) to section B of the scale (stores, facilities, and other things in your neighborhood) and one related item to section C (access to services). The total individual items became 57 instead of the original 54 items in the English version. Also, we added “ATM machine” to item 14 (Bank/credit union) in section B. In addition, the overall results of the cognitive interview showed that most of the participants understood the intended meaning of the questionnaire (99.5%). Further, 99.8% of the respondents stated that the items were not difficult to comprehend, while 100% of the sample indicated that the sentences were comfortable and not sensitive to them. Conclusion: Translating, adapting, and pre-testing the NEWS-A resulted in retaining all the original items and adding three additional items. The Arabic NEWS-A provides an important tool for future research on neighborhood environment walkability among adults.

description: Aims Few studies investigate whether psychosocial factors (social isolation, social support, trait anger, and depressive symptoms) are associated with cardiovascular health, and none with the American Heart Association’s new definition of cardiovascular health, Life’s Essential 8 (LE8). Therefore, we assessed the cross-sectional associations of psychosocial factors with Life’s Essential 8 and individual components of Life’s Essential 8. Methods We included 11,311 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort participants (58% females; 23% Black; mean age 57 (standard deviation: 6) years) who attended Visit 2 (1990–1992) in this secondary data analysis using cross-sectional data from the ARIC cohort study. Life’s Essential 8 components included diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep quality, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Life’s Essential 8 was scored per the American Heart Association definition (0–100 range); higher scores indicate better cardiovascular health. Associations of categories (high, moderate, and low) of each psychosocial factor with continuous Life’s Essential 8 score and individual Life’s Essential 8 components were assessed using multivariable linear regressions. Results 11% of participants had high Life’s Essential 8 scores (80–100), while 67% and 22% had moderate (50–79) and low Life’s Essential 8 scores (0–49) respectively. Poor scores on psychosocial factor assessments were associated with lower Life’s Essential 8 scores, with the largest magnitude of association for categories of depressive symptoms (low β = Ref.; moderate β = -3.1, (95% confidence interval: -3.7, -2.5; high β = -8.2 (95% confidence interval: -8.8, -7.5)). Most psychosocial factors were associated with Life’s Essential 8 scores for diet, physical activity, nicotine, and sleep, but psychosocial factors were not associated with body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, or blood pressure. Conclusion Less favorable measures of psychosocial health were associated with lower Life’s Essential 8 scores compared better measures of psychosocial health among middle-aged males and females.

description: Die Energie- und Klimaschutzpolitik der Europäischen Union hatte weitreichende Auswirkungen für die Mitgliedsländer und die Marktakteure in der Energiewirtschaft. In Österreich und Deutschland schufen staatliche geförderte Einspeisetarife die Grundlage für den massiven Ausbau von Ökostromanlagen. Die Letztfassung des Rechtsrahmens beider Länder zeigt die deutliche Bemühung, die Anlagen den Gegebenheiten des freien Marktes anzunähern. Dem Anlagenbetreiber werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit Vermarktungsszenarien aufgezeigt, um den erzeugten Strom aus den erneuerbaren Energiequellen Kleinwasserkraft und Windkraft abzusetzen. Außerhalb des geförderten Regimes übernimmt der Vermarkter von Grünstrom den Handel an der Strombörse und die Abwicklung der Lieferung. Hierfür werden die Ertrags-, Kosten- und Risikoparameter identifiziert und auf Basis historischer Kraftwerks- und Preisdaten quantifiziert. Auf der Grundlage dieser Daten werden vergangenheitsbezogene Angebotspreise für beide Länder und Energiequellen für den Anlagenbetreiber erstellt, um einerseits Aufschluss über die Performance der Anlagen im Vergleich zu veröffentlichen Benchmarks zu erhalten und andererseits um aufzuzeigen, dass außerhalb des Förderrahmens ökonomisch sinnvolle Handlungsalternativen bestehen.
description: The Energy and Climate Policy of the European Union had far-reaching effects for the member states and the market players in the energy industry. In Austria and Germany, feed-in tariffs subsidized by the state established the basis for the massive expansion and development of renewable power plants. The final version of the legal framework of the two respective countries shows the explicit efforts of the eco-electricity facilities’ approach towards the free market conditions. The underlying thesis discusses commercialization scenarios in which a facility operator vends the electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as hydropower and wind power. Beyond the supported regimes, the marketers of renewable energy are responsible for trading on the power exchange and executing the delivery. Therefore, the parameters for return, cost, and risk are identified and quantified according to historical data points of power plants and prices. Based on this historical data, bid prices for both countries and energy sources were created in order to shed light on the plants’ performance compared to public benchmarks. The bid prices also demonstrate that economically viable alternatives exist beyond the supported framework.

description: This report provides an analysis of energy consumption, carbon footprint, and performance evaluation for two agricultural enterprises: Ent#1 “Azienda Agricola Le Colombaie S.r.l”. and Ent#2 “Cerzoo Centro di Ricerche per la Zootecnia e l'Ambiente S.c.r.l.”, as part of the NODES project (Nord Ovest Digitale e Sostenibile). The goal is to assess the sustainability and efficiency of these farms using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), with the wider aim of understanding their features to become part of an A-REC (Agricultural Renewable Energy Community). Both farms are highly technological with respect to the average farm, but they differ significantly in scale. This difference in size makes direct data comparison difficult, especially regarding energy consumption and production efficiency. As a result, we used KPIs to create a standardized, comparable framework for evaluating their performance and be able to extend their specific results to different cases. 

 

This document is a deliverable of the project FORMIDABILÆ ("Forage system to make resilient Maize, Dairy and Biogas supply chains for a Lasting Agricultural Ecosystem"), which promotes approaches aimed at improving the smart, resilient, circular and diversified farm to ensure food security and social economic sustainability of dairy food chains with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in this sector.

description: Social determinants of health significantly impact health outcomes, with education access and quality being a crucial factor. A good education is vital to a child's success, opening doors to employment, health insurance, and higher incomes, and is directly linked to community well-being. People with low incomes, lower educational levels, and those who are racial and ethnic minorities disproportionately suffer from low health literacy. In Burke County, NC, racial and ethnic minority students in grades 3-8 face a significant achievement gap in reading proficiency compared to their white counterparts. The "Equitable Education" initiative aims to address this gap through community engagement, partnerships with the Burke County Literacy Council, quarterly "Lunch and Learn" events, and the formation of a Community Advisory Board and Literacy Coalition. Utilizing Educator Value Added Assessment System (EVAAS) scores correlated with socioeconomic and demographic factors, the initiative employs a Continuous Quality Improvement framework, focusing on policy advocacy, professional development, and collaboration to create a healthier, more equitable community through improved literacy outcomes.

Creators: name: Lässig, Susanne
Year: 2015

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit Dea Lohers Werken Adam Geist und Diebe und deren Einbindung in einen dramenanalytischen Diskurs. Aufgrund vieler Rückmeldungen über die Unfassbarkeit des loherschen Schreibstils und ihrer Werke, die auch schlichtweg als loheresk bezeichnet wurden, ist das Ziel der Arbeit eine Herauslösung spezifischer Stilmittel und der Integration in einen zeitgenössischen Dramendiskurs. Auf diese Weise wird versucht die Werke Lohers für einen weiteren Diskurs beschreibbar zu machen. Ausgehend von Aristoteles' Poetik wird ein Bogen bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Tendenzen gespannt und somit ein historischer Überblick bis zur Gegenwart gegeben. Darunter finden insbesondere die Entliterarisierung und die Retheatralisierung eine wesentliche Berücksichtigung und mit der Analyse der Werke Dea Lohers eine Fortschreibung. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Analyse liegt im Bezug Lohers Drama zu Brechts epischem Drama, dem postdramatischen Theater, sowie zur Postmoderne. Die ausgewählten Stücke werden dabei auf inhaltliche, stilistische, und formale Aspekte untersucht und verortet bzw. abgrenzt. Dabei werden eindeutige neue Schreibformen, Themenkonstrukte und Stilmittel identifiziert und beschrieben, die Loher von bestehenden Dramenstilen abgrenzen.

description: Die erste Studio Ära Chinas brachte eine facettenreiche Vielzahl an filmischen Werken hervor, deren Großteil im Tumult der Umbruchsjahre zwischen der letzten Dynastie und dem Kommunismus, nur kurz nach ihrem Entstehen, wieder verschwand. In dieser Arbeit soll auf einer historischen Kenntnis der neuzeitlichen, chinesischen Geschichte, sowie der Geschichte des Films in China aufbauend, ein differenziertes Bild der besonders wenig wissenschaftlich abgedeckten Stummfilme der 1920er Jahre gezeichnet und hinterfragt werden, inwiefern soziale, politische und historische Faktoren sich in selbigen manifestieren. Anhand einer ausführlichen Analyse von vier Filmen aus dem Entstehungszeitraum 1922 bis 1929 sollen inhaltliche, stilistische und produktionstechnische Charakteristika in einem zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext verortet und auf ihr Potenzial, Rückschlüsse auf Gesellschaft und Politik zuzulassen, untersucht werden. Die hierbei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse sollen argumentatorisch in einen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs mit bereits etablierter Fachliteratur treten, der dokumentieren soll, dass der zumeist als unpolitisch wahrgenommene Stummfilm der 1920er Jahre durchaus politisches Potenzial in sich birgt und auf welche Art und Weise er dieses kommuniziert.
description: In China’s so called first studio era a rich variety of films was created only to, for the greater part, vanish shortly thereafter during decades of turmoil during the transition between imperial and communist China. Resting upon a (film-) historical outline of 19th and early 20th century China this thesis aims to draw a more differentiated picture of the insufficiently discussed silent films produced in the 1920s, focussing especially on the question-, of whether or not they possess the ability to reflect upon society as well as the historico- political environment of that period. Conducting a thorough analysis of four films made between 1922 and 1929 it will be attempted to locate them in a historical context regarding their narrative and formal aspects as well as the circumstances of their production. This paper will explore whether the results gained from the analysis are able to provide us with new insights concerning social, historical or political aspects of 1920s filmmaking. Ultimately a dialogue between newly gained information and previously shaped theories needs to be established, ideally supporting the thesis’ claim that, contrary to common perception, China’s early silent film does in fact bear political potential. Covering the tumultuous years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty to the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 it will be determined how and to what extent this potential is communicated through the medium of film.

Es gibt Kurven, die nach seinen Kriterien quadrierbar sein müssten, es aber nicht sind, da sie von der Quadratur der Hyperbel abhängen, und es gibt Kurven, die nach seinen Kriterien nicht quadriebar sein dürften, die man aber dennoch quadrieren kann.

They also have high rates of unprotected sex, increasing the risk of adverse sexual health outcomes and onward transmission. This one-arm, pre–post study investigates a structured 14-session support group aiming to boost treatment adherence and sexual protective behavior for AYLHIV in South Africa. Logistic and Poisson regression analyses were performed on self-reported pre- and post-intervention survey data collected approximately 7.5 months apart from a cohort of 548 AYLHIV. Participants were significantly more likely to report at least 95% adherence at follow-up and rate their health as “good;” they also demonstrated greater treatment knowledge and had fewer absences from school overall and due to illness. Among sexually active AYLHIV, contraception use at last sex increased significantly, while condom use did not. Effects were small, and greater programmatic emphasis on adherence and multifaceted service packages is likely necessary to promote viral suppression. Nonetheless, the intervention addresses an important gap in service provision for AYLHIV in South Africa. Findings denote the potential for incorporating care and treatment components into sexual and reproductive health interventions tailored for AYLHIV.

description: Burnet ist wegen des Krieges in Italien nicht abgereist. Er hat seinen Vater gebeten, ihm einen Aufenthalt in Basel zu gestatten, um von Joh. B. Lektionen zu erhalten. Burnet hat Craig von den Schwierigkeiten mit dessen Kriterien zur Quadrierbarkeit algebraischer Kurven berichtet. Dieser hat ihm geantwortet und zwar lateinisch. Burnet fügt einen Auszug bei, in dem Craig postuliert, Joh. B. habe seine Behauptungen nicht richtig angewendet. Einen Teil des restlichen, in englischer Sprache geschriebenen Briefes übersetzt Burnet für Joh. B.. Craig schreibt, dass Joh. B.s Einwände seine Methode nicht treffen. Er bittet, ihm seine Hochachtung zu übermitteln, die sich schon darin gezeigt hat, dass er einst Burnet Joh. B.s interessante Entdeckungen aus den AE erläutert hat. Er lässt Joh. B. bitten, ihm weitere Einwände direkt mitzuteilen. Er hat seine Bemerkungen für den Druck vorbereitet und wird Joh. B. gerne eine Abschrift senden, wobei er ihm alle Ehre für seine Anmerkungen widerfahren lassen wird. Burnet betont, dass er Joh. I B.s Methode nicht an Craig gesandt hat. Dies würde er nicht ohne Erlaubnis tun. Burnet wohnt weiter bei Mlle Turretin.

description: In the UK, the need for more quantitatively-skilled citizens and employees
      has been widely publicised. This skills deficit has prompted a wide range
      of policy initiatives and academic research into quantitative methods
      (QM(s)) learning-teaching across all levels of education. Although the
      academic literature has provided useful insights into the
      learning-teaching of QM(s), it has overlooked key questions concerning the
      character of QM(s) across Social Science disciplines and the role of
      non-human actors.

      This thesis begins to fill this gap in the literature by adopting
      Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to explore the learning-teaching of QM(s)
      within four Higher Education Social Science subjects. To investigate the
      actor-networks that QM(s) is comprised of, and located within, an
      assemblage of methods was used, including: semi-structured interviews,
      concept mapping, participant observation and document analysis. Together,
      these methods capture QM(s) across Harvey’s (2004) three spaces (abstract,
      relative, and relational), supplementing ANT’s own relational
      understanding of space(-time).

      Challenging the passive and singular framings of QM(s), presented within
      policy initiatives and the literature, here, QM(s) was found to be a
      character occupying multiple positions of agency, taught content, and
      locations on participants’ concept maps. Within the teaching-learning
      environments, the construction of QM(s) as linear, fixed and learnt
      through doing was translated by worksheets and correct answers, producing
      a characterisation of QM(s) as a passive, linear activity of completing
      tests. When placed within disciplinary actor-networks, QM(s) was
      identified as performing a variety of roles: providing patterns/trends;
      offering reliable answers and predictions; aiding theory testing; and
      assisting decision-making. However, these positionings were being
      challenged by new techniques, software, and learning-teaching
      environments. These findings imply that instead of a focus on
      differentiating QM(s) knowledge, to successfully integrate QM(s) with
      disciplinary knowledges attention should be given to QM(s’) link to data
      and theoretical positionings.

      Overall, this thesis provides an original contribution to knowledge
      through its adoption of ANT, a theory not before applied to QM(s)
      learning-teaching research. In doing this, it challenges common
      assumptions made within the literature to provide new insights into the
      character of QM(s) and the role of previously overshadowed non-human
      actors.

description: Burnet hat von seinem Vater die Erlaubnis erhalten, einige Wochen in Basel zu verbringen. Er sucht eine Wohnung in der Nähe von Joh. B.s Haus, um bequem von seinen Lektionen profitieren zu können. Seine geringe Freizeit in Genf ist mit mathematischen Studien gefüllt. Burnet liest gerade ein neues Buch von Villamot [sic] über die Bewegung der Planeten [Villemot, Nouvelle Système ou nouvelle explication du mouvement des planètes, Lyon 1707]. Dessen rein physikalische Argumente sind nichts als Chimären, und das Mathematische darin ist nichts Neues. Allerdings ist das Buch gut aufgebaut und deshalb vielleicht doch nützlich. Villemots Annahme, dass die Materie des Sonnensystems bis zum Saturn homogen ist, scheint Burnet falsch. Die irdische Atmosphäre ist es schon nicht, also auch nicht die zwischen Sonne und Saturn. Burnet versucht nun, aus der Annahme nicht homogener Dichte der Materie im Sonnensystem die Erddrehung von West nach Ost zu erklären, und bittet Joh. B. um seine Meinung. Burnet hat Craig um eine Erläuterung zu Joh. B.s Motus reptorius [Op. LXXIV] gebeten. Als Antwort hat ihm dieser seinen Aufsatz aus den Philos.Trans. gesandt [ev. De linearum curvarum longitudine, Phil. Trans. 314, 1708 = Op. 81], den Burnet beilegt. Er wäre Joh. B. für eine kurze Antwort verbunden. Burnet hat gehört, dass Leibniz eine philosophische Abhandlung [ev. Essais de Théodicée, Amsterdam 1710] drucken lässt.

description: Die hier vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Peacekeeping-Missionen der Vereinten Nationen in Somalia und Bosnien-Herzegowina. In beiden Fällen beruhte die Aufgabe der Vereinten Nationen einen innerstaatlichen Konflikt zu schlichten. Die UNO, die bis 1990 quasi nur Erfahrungen mit zwischenstaatlichen Konflikten hatte, wurde zu Beginn der 90er vor neuen Herausforderungen gestellt. Diesbezüglich werden in dieser Arbeit die Vorgehensweisen der Vereinten Nationen analysiert. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf den Einsatz der zur Verfügung stehenden Mittel die laut UN-Charta im Rahmen einer Peacekeeping-Mission eingesetzt werden können. Daneben werden sowohl die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten, die Kooperation mit den jeweiligen Konfliktparteien, als auch die Kooperation mit weiteren internationalen Organisationen untersucht. Diese Arbeit verdeutlicht auf welche Probleme die Vereinten Nationen bei den Einsätzen in Somalia und Bosnien und Herzegowina gestoßen sind und welche Fehler im Rahmen dieser Missionen begangen wurden.
description: This master thesis deals with the peacekeeping missions of the United Nations in Somalia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In both cases the United Nations had the task to settle a domestic conflict. Having experiences with inter-state conflicts, at the beginning of 1990 the United Nations was facing new challenges. In this regard, this work analyzes the actions undertaken by the United Nations. The focus lies on the use of the available resources that are accorded under the UN-Charter within the framework of a peacekeeping mission. In addition, the collaboration between the Member States, the cooperation with the conflicting parties, as well as the cooperation with other international organizations are being examined. This work illustrates the problems encountered and the mistakes committed by the United Nations during the missions in Somalia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

description: There were no pediatric oncology centers in southwest Ethiopia prior to 2016. This study aims to describe presenting diagnoses and initial outcomes at Jimma University Medical Center (JUMC), the first pediatric oncology unit (POU) in southwest Ethiopia, provide initial insights into regional pediatric cancer epidemiology, illustrate the rapid growth of pediatric cancer services, and highlight ongoing challenges. We used a retrospective descriptive approach to assess the epidemiologic pattern and initial treatment outcomes of pediatric cancer at JUMC POU from August 2016 through December 2022. During the study period, 749 children were diagnosed with cancer at JUMC. The mean age was 7.2 years (20 days —18 years). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the most common diagnosis (16.4%), followed by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (12.4%), Wilms tumor (11.1%), soft tissue sarcoma (8.8%), Hodgkin lymphoma (8.4%), and retinoblastoma (8.3%). Brain tumors accounted for only 2.7% of the diagnoses. Of the 703 patients that were not referred elsewhere, 42% of the patients abandoned treatment, 29% died, 17% completed treatment, and 7% remained on treatment at the time of this assessment. The findings emphasize the growth in the diagnosis and treatment of children with cancer in the southwest region of Ethiopia. The data suggests a different epidemiologic profile of childhood cancer cases diagnosed at the JUMC POU compared to high-income countries and neighbouring countries in Africa. Treatment abandonment remains a barrier to care. Ongoing areas of focus include establishment of a hospital-based cancer registry, reduction of treatment abandonment, improvement of diagnostic capacity, and increased access to advanced supportive care.
