description: Mikroökonometrische Studien mit Firmendaten aus vielen Ländern zeigen, dass exportierende Firmen eine höhere Produktivität aufweisen als Firmen, die lediglich den jeweiligen Binnenmarkt ihres Sitzlandes beliefern, und dass es einen Selbstselektionsprozess der produktiveren Firmen auf Auslandsmärkte gibt, während anderseits Exporttätigkeit nicht unbedingt die Produktivität verbessert. Der vorliegende Beitrag präsentiert empirische Befunde hierzu mit Daten für niedersächsische Industriebetriebe aus den Jahren 1995 bis 2004. Folgende Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt: Wie unterscheiden sich Produktivität und Produktivitätswachstum zwischen exportierenden und nicht-exportierenden mittelständischen Betrieben? Gehen die produktiveren Betriebe den Schritt auf den Weltmarkt? Führen Exporte zu höherer Produktivität? Die Implikationen der Ergebnisse werden dann vor dem Hintergrund der internationalen Evidenz zum Zusammenhang zwischen Exporttätigkeit und Produktivität diskutiert.
THE RESULTS-BASED ACCOUNTABILITY™ -LEADERSHIP PROGRAM: PROGRAM PLAN AND PROCESS EVALUATION.

description: AbstractThe Results-Based Accountability-Leadership Program (RBA-LP) was designed to build the capacity of North Carolina System of Care (NCSOC) coordinators and family leads who support children and youth engaged in more than one service agency such as mental health, child welfare, the juvenile system, schools, and health care. The program is a product of the partnership between Race for Equity Now and the NCSOC. The RBA-LP is based on the Results Based Accountability framework as presented in the book Trying Hard Is Not Good Enough (Friedman, 2005, 2016). The program uses a data-driven decision-making approach that emphasizes equity to help NCSOC coordinators, family leads, and supervisors to improve the well-being of children, youth, and their families. The program also supports the development of leadership skills in the NCSOC participants to achieve results for the children, youth and their families. Session 1 of the RBA-LP was the first of the program’s planned sessions that took place on January 30 and January 31, 2019.Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate this program implementation; the evaluation is based on a list of questions designed to assess whether the Race for Equity Now and NCSOC partnership is achieving its objectives. The main purpose of this process evaluation is to assess the performance measures of session 1 of the RBA-LP and to assess whether the program launch objectives align with the NCSOC priorities. A rapid assessment of the session was implemented at the end of day two to get feedback from the participants. This evaluation will inform recommendations for RBA- Leadership Program improvement and the NCSOC collaborative in improving knowledge and skills among the program participants. An appendix to this report includes tools used to carry out the evaluation.

description: Abstract: A recent survey of 54 micro-econometric studies reveals that exporting firms are more productive than non-exporters. On the other hand, previous empirical studies show that exporting does not necessarily improve productivity. One possible reason for this result is that most previous studies are restricted to analysing the relationship between a firm’s export status and the growth of its labour productivity, using the firms’ export status as a binary treatment variable and comparing the performance of exporting and non-exporting firms. In this paper, we apply the newly developed generalised propensity score (GPS) methodology that allows for continuous treatment, that is, different levels of the firms’ export activities. Using the GPS method and a large panel data set for German manufacturing firms, we estimate the relationship between a firm’s export-sales ratio and its labour productivity growth rate. We find that there is a causal effect of firms’ export activities on labour productivity growth. However, exporting improves labour productivity growth only within a sub-interval of the range of firms’ export-sales ratios.

description: J.Bellaïche and M.Dimitrov have shown that the $p$-adic eigencurve is smooth but not etale over the weight space at $p$-regular theta series attached to a character of a real quadratic field $F$ in which $p$ splits. We proof in this paper the existence of an isomorphism between the subring of the completed local ring of the eigencurve at these points fixed by the Atkin-Lehner involution and an universal ring representing a pseudo-deformation problem, and one gives also a precise criterion for which the ramification index is exactly $2$. We finish this paper by proving the smoothness of the nearly ordinary and ordinary Hecke algebras for Hilbert modular forms over $F$ at the cuspidal-overconvergent Eisenstein points which are the base change lift for $\mathrm{GL}(2)_{/F}$ of these theta series.
U=U Implementation in Rural North Carolina: Lessons Learned from Successful Health Promotion and Education Campaigns

description: There has been an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that supports the fact that people living with HIV (PLWH) who are virally suppressed have zero risk of sexually transmitting the virus. In 2016, the “Undetectable Equals Untransmittable” (U=U) messaging campaign was launched by the Prevention Access Campaign as a mass health promotion and education campaign. The U=U campaign has gained global recognition and has become an essential tool for HIV prevention by underscoring the importance of HIV treatment adherence, eliminating HIV-related stigma, and advocating for universal healthcare. Major cities in the United States such as New York City and San Francisco have adopted the U=U campaign and have found much success. Approaches used in these cities may not be suitable for rural settings in southern United States where the HIV burden is most significant. Using North Carolina as a case study, this paper reviews three successful health promotion and education campaigns to identify key elements for successful U=U rural implementation. Conclusively, U=U implementation in rural North Carolina would require a comprehensive approach that should be adapted from what was done in urban areas. U=U implementation in rural North Carolina should also address unique and structural barriers to healthcare faced by the population. This paper outlines a set of considerations that should be considered for successful diffusion of the U=U campaign in rural settings in North Carolina.

description: Recent discussions about the evolvement of nanotechnologies criticize that the notion ‘risk’ is too abstract and an all-inclusive category. Moreover, the concept of risk is not precise enough to describe the potential issues related to the development of nanotechnologies. Instead, experts of technological development speak more about risk communication. Within the field of nanotechnologies, they even redefined this expression in February 2005 and related it to the question of the societal acceptance of nanotechnologies. Risk communication is about to gain stakeholder acceptance of policy decisions, whereas public and stakeholders are encouraged to participate actively in the communication process through public consultations, hearings, etc. Thus on the one hand, the category of risk has been pragmatically nuanced in order to better highlight the vulnerability of the communication on nanotechnologies. On the other hand, this vulnerable communication is not the result of a deficit of information. It is based on the idea of participation, where the vulnerability relies on the social groups specialized in the design, the application, and the diffusion of nanotechnologies within society. How is this participation possible, and what does it mean? We develop this question in the framework of a comparative survey on experts that are involved in the deployment of nanotechnologies in Grenoble (France) and Hamburg (Germany).

Leptospirosis Frequency in Animals and their Habitats in the Southern United States: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Blessington, Tyann

Year: 2019

description: Leptospirosis is zoonotic disease with symptoms ranging from subclinical to serious and fatal. Understanding the frequency and dynamics of Leptospira in animals in the southern United States can aid in prevention efforts. A systematic review of the frequency of animal leptospirosis in 17 states and jurisdictions covering the southern continental U.S. was performed. Fifty-two articles met the analysis criteria. Seroprevalence and bacterial isolation data were collected from 14 states, 22 animal families, and over 100 years. There were wide ranges of disease frequencies reported. The disease frequency for Muridae and Mephitidae were consistently high. Differences in habit, age, breeding season, interactions, and population density were highlighted as possible reasons for variability. For animals in wild habitats, seroprevalence and isolation frequency trends increased slightly over time. This review and analysis highlights the need for stronger partnerships across the public and animal health fields to enhance diagnostics, surveillance, and reporting.

description: According to the Justified True Belief (JTB) account of knowledge, a person’s ability to know something is defined by having a belief that is both justified and true (i.e., knowledge is justified true belief). However, this account fails to consider the role of luck. In 1963, Gettier argued that JTB is insufficient because it does not account for certain situations, called Gettier cases, wherein a person is justified for believing something true but only because of luck. It is unclear whether lay people’s intuitions about knowledge lead them to agree with Gettier, such that lay people believe that individuals in these cases lack knowledge (referred to as Gettier intuitions). We attempt to provide a robust estimate of the Gettier intuition effect size by replicating Turri and colleagues’ (2015) Experiment 1. The Collaborative Replications and Education Project (CREP) selected this study for replication based on its undergraduate appeal, feasibility, and pedagogical value. However, in light of some inconsistent results, suboptimal designs, and inconsistent evidence for cultural variation (e.g., Machery et al., 2015; Nagel, et al., 2013; Seyedsayamdost et al., 2015; Starman & Friedman, 2012; Weinberg et al., 2001), the improved methodology of Turri et al. (2015) make it an important study to replicate cross-culturally. Therefore, we propose a multisite collaborative preregistered replication of Turri and colleague's (2015) Experiment 1 (35 labs from 14 countries across 4 continents signed up at time of submission; expected minimum N = 1,500). Results of this study are expected to provide a clearer picture of the Gettier intuition effect size, lay people’s theory and practice of knowledge, and potentially cross-cultural similarities and differences.

Mind-body interventions for highly sensitive persons: a mixed-method systematic review. Review protocol.
Creators: name: Fabiani, Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: mind-body interventions; sensory processing sensitivity; well-being; systematic review

description: Background. According to a recent study, people with higher Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) scores may exercise less frequently and, when they do, may prefer to avoid vigorous-intensity activities (Webb, 2022). For people with high SPS, more research is required to identify appropriate Mind-body interventions (MBIs) and to investigate the feasibility of the identified interventions in terms of accessibility, appropriateness, and meaningfulness for people with high SPS. A thorough, systematic, and transparent mixed method review of the literature will be done in order to study the evidence and enhance knowledge of the role that mind-body and movement interventions have in improving well-being for people with high SPS. Methods. A mixed-method systematic review methodology will be used to achieve the review's objectives.Using triangulation techniques, mixed-methods research encourages the collection of quantitative and qualitative data, a thorough analysis of the intervention impacts from several perspectives, and the validation of findings (Creswell & Creswell, 2017; Hong et al., 2017). The review will be conducted in five stages: literature search, study selection, data extraction, quality assessment, and data analysis and reported according to PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021). Discussion. This review will be among the first to systematically explore and integrate the evidence available on the effect of MBI interventions in highly sensitive people. By gathering and summarizing information about the availability, feasability, and effectiveness of Mind-body interventions (MBIs), such as meditation, yoga, mindful movement, somatic education, and mindfulness training, in promoting wellbeing for people with high SPS, the findings from this study will provide directions for future research and provide practitioners and clinicians with an understanding whether and how Mind-body interventions improves wellbeing for people with high SPS and point to directions for relevant interventions and future research. Ethics and dissemination As it will be a systematic review, without human beings involvement, there will be no requirement for ethical approval. Findings will be disseminated widely through peer-reviewed publication and in various media, for example, conferences, congresses or symposia.

description: Nonlinearity in macroscopic mechanical system plays a crucial role in a wide variety of applications, including signal transduction and processing, synchronization, and building logical devices. However, it is difficult to generate nonlinearity due to the fact that macroscopic mechanical systems follow the Hooke's law and response linearly to external force, unless strong drive is used. Here we propose and experimentally realize a record-high nonlinear response in macroscopic mechanical system by exploring the anharmonicity in deforming a single chemical bond. We then demonstrate the tunability of nonlinear response by precisely controlling the chemical bonding interaction, and realize a cubic elastic constant of \mathversion{bold}$2 \times 10^{18}~{\rm N}/{\rm m^3}$, many orders of magnitude larger in strength than reported previously. This enables us to observe vibrational bistate transitions of the resonator driven by the weak Brownian thermal noise at 6~K. This method can be flexibly applied to a variety of mechanical systems to improve nonlinear responses, and can be used, with further improvements, to explore macroscopic quantum mechanics.

description: Using panel data from Spain Farinas and Ruano (IJIO 2005) test three hypotheses from a model by Hopenhayn (Econometrica 1992): (H1) Firms that exit in year t were in t-1 less productive than firms that continue to produce in t. (H2) Firms that enter in year t are less productive than incumbent firms in year t. (H3) Surviving firms from an entry cohort were more productive than non-surviving firms from this cohort in the start year. Results for Spain support all three hypotheses. This paper replicates the study using a unique newly available panel data sets for all manufacturing plants from Germany (1995 – 2002). Again, all three hypotheses are supported empirically.

description: Pauli's exclusion principle has a strong impact on the properties of most fermionic quantum systems. Remarkably, the fermionic exchange symmetry implies further constraints on the one-particle picture. By exploiting those generalized Pauli constraints we derive a measure which quantifies the influence of the exchange symmetry beyond Pauli's exclusion principle. It is based on a geometric hierarchy induced by the exclusion principle constraints. We provide a proof of principle by applying our measure to a simple model. In that way, we conclusively confirm the physical relevance of the generalized Pauli constraints and show that the fermionic exchange symmetry can have an influence on the one-particle picture beyond Pauli's exclusion principle. Our findings provide a new perspective on fermionic multipartite correlation since our measure allows one to distinguish between static and dynamic correlations.

description: The DoD Eye Injury Summary from 2000 to 2017 had a total of 278,182 Ambulatory All Diagnoses (AD) classified injuries with a rate ranging from 8.95 – 12.77 per 1,000 person-years among active duty service members. The overwhelming types of injuries were classified as superficial, meaning abrasions and external foreign bodies. Females had a higher rate of injuries between 2005 and 2013. Age range most affected were the 40 years and above in both enlisted and officer’s rank. The occupation most affected among enlisted were those working in construction and craftwork. The occupational category most affected among officers were those in general/flag/executive positions. Overall, the Coast Guard was the branch affected most in both enlisted and officer ranks, however, the Navy eye injury rate peaked between 2002 and 2006 within the subset of officers. Among the sources of injuries, most came from “other or unknown” category. The rates were highest in 2006 and began to decrease until 2014, where the rates began to climb again. Preventable eye injuries in non-military facilities are declining, however, active duty military eye injuries are beginning to rise again. Ambulatory eye injuries in the active duty community occur despite complete fielding of eye protection and posters, cards and flyers for eye protection education. Three new approaches have been recommended and could be piloted to determine efficacy in reducing eye injuries: a quasi-experimental study using two untreated control groups with dependent pre- and post-test using switching replications, an incentive for garrisons and individual and equal access.

description: The patients were included from the Zealand emergency surgery database (Zealsurg), which is a database including all patients who underwent emergency laparotomy during a 6-year period from a single surgical centre. The inclusion criteria were adult patients (>18 years) who underwent a major emergency abdominal surgical procedure at the surgical department of Zealand University Hospital in Køge in the period of 1 January 2010 to 01 October 2016. Surgical procedures included in the database are shown in appendix 1. The data was collected by review of patient records. Medical records for the included patients were examined from admission to discharge or in-hospital death, thereby obtaining a complete follow-up for all patients.
Secondary Data Analysis of the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's Suspected Poisoning Death Investigation Efforts
Creators: name: Wooten, Samantha

description: With a continued increase in North Carolina’s population, an increase in death is inevitable. As efforts to increase a community’s health through policies, partnerships, and education have grown, the need for robust, multidisciplinary and multicomponent data is required to support these interventions. Understanding the investigative processes of one of these possible data sources, the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, is essential. Determination of how suspected poisoning deaths are investigated in the state of North Carolina. A secondary analysis was conducted using data collected by the local medical examiners across the state of North Carolina and the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in cases where naloxone was identified in the decedent’s toxicology report from October 1, 2017 through May 31, 2018. Qualitative and quantitative data were abstracted and analyzed to evaluate the quality of the data collected by the statewide medical examiner system. The decedent’s history of receiving medication-assisted treatment was most frequently not specified on death investigation reports. Other variables that were not continuously specified on death investigation reports included history of diagnosed mental illness, suicide ideation and attempt, chronic pain, arrest and/or incarceration, and inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance use disorder or mental health treatment. The variables identified as important to public health efforts are not consistently reported by North Carolina local medical examiners on death investigation reports. It is thus highly recommended that the leadership of the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner revise the current investigation report to encourage established variables to be reported during the death investigation process.

description: While many features of topological band insulators are commonly discussed at the level of single-particle electron wave functions, such as the gapless Dirac spectrum at their boundary, it remains elusive to develop a {\it hydrodynamic} or {\it collective} description of fermionic topological band insulators in 3+1 dimensions. As the Chern-Simons theory for the 2+1-dimensional quantum Hall effect, such a hydrodynamic effective field theory provides a universal description of topological band insulators, even in the presence of interactions, and that of putative fractional topological insulators. In this paper, we undertake this task by using the functional bosonization. The effective field theory in the functional bosonization is written in terms of a two-form gauge field, which couples to a $U(1)$ gauge field that arises by gauging the continuous symmetry of the target system (the $U(1)$ particle number conservation). Integrating over the $U(1)$ gauge field by using the electromagnetic duality, the resulting theory describes topological band insulators as a condensation phase of the $U(1)$ gauge theory (or as a monopole condensation phase of the dual gauge field). The hydrodynamic description, and the implication of its duality, of the surface of topological insulators are also discussed. We also touch upon the hydrodynamic theory of fractional topological insulators by using the parton construction.

description: Mechanical thrombectomy is effective in the acute ischemic stroke treatment due to large vessel occlusion. However, all facilities to perform this procedure are available only in few centers (Hub). To date, it is not clear if the direct transport of these patients to the Hub centers (mothership) are more effective than a primary transport to the other hospitals without all facilites (spoke) and subsequently transferred to the Hub centers (drip and ship). We aimed with this pooled analysis to investigate what type of organizational model is better for the functional outcome of ischemic stroke patients.

description: The high anisotropy in RO1-aFaBiS2 (R denotes a rare-earth element) superconductors demonstrates their potential use as intrinsic Josephson junctions, considering the weak coupling among BiS2-PrO(F)-BiS2 (superconducting-normal-superconducting) layers along the c-axis. We grew PrO1-aFaBiS2 single crystals using CsCl/KCl flux. The superconducting anisotropies of the grown single crystals were estimated to be approximately 40-50 from the effective mass model. The c-axis transport properties were characterized using single-crystal s-shaped intrinsic Josephson junctions with a focused ion beam. Along the c-axis, the crystals showed zero resistivity at 2.7 K and a critical current density of 1.33*10^3 A/cm2 at 2.0 K. The current-voltage curve along the c-axis displayed hysteresis. The c-axis transport measurements under a magnetic field parallel to the ab-plane revealed a "lock-in" state due to the Josephson vortex flow, indicating that BiS2 superconductors are promising candidates for intrinsic Josephson junctions.

description: In der öffentlichen Diskussion gilt als allgemein akzeptiert, dass in Deutschland ein Zusammenhang zwischen Firmengröße und Arbeitsplatzdynamik besteht, der sich durch den stilisierten Fakt beschreiben lässt, dass kleine und mittlere Firmen vorwiegend Arbeitsplätze schaffen, während in großen Firmen vor allem Arbeitsplätze abgebaut werden. Der Mittelstand gilt als Jobmotor. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt, dass eine Auswertung von Längsschnittdaten für Betriebe Zweifel an dieser einfachen Sichtweise begründen kann. In mittelständischen Betrieben entstehen viele Arbeitsplätze, aber es werden auch viele abgebaut, und dasselbe gilt für Großbetriebe. Wachsende und schrumpfende, neu gegründete und geschlossene Betriebe sind in jeweils erheblichem Umfang in jedem Jahr in allen Größenklassen anzutreffen. Wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahmen mit einer spezifischen Ausrichtung auf bestimmte Firmengrößenklassen lassen sich daher nicht mit einem besonders ausgeprägten Beitrag dieser Firmen zur Beschäftigungsdynamik rechtfertigen.

Comparing Cervical Cancer Prevention in Three Countries:  Identifying Common and Context Specific Barriers
Creators: name: Weinberger, Ashley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Cervical cancer is a global burden affecting millions of women worldwide. In many lower-middle income countries (LMICs), the effect on the female population is higher than in more developed countries. Through the usage of HPV vaccination and pap smear screening programs, this burden can be reduced, but in LMICs there are many barriers preventing the utilization of these techniques. Prevalence and mortality rates for cervical cancer in Peru, Romania, and Indonesia are in similar brackets, but the barriers to access for women in each country are varied. This paper uses a literature review methodology to identify these barriers and organize them within the social ecological model to serve as a platform for discussion of  potential interventions to combat each barrier for future program planning and adoption into further global perspectives. Barriers found in each country tended to be influenced by health system, demographic, sociocultural, and individual factors. While there are barriers that are found in all three countries, it is further seen that each country has their own specific hurdles to address. Additionally, within each country there are barriers that affect specific portions of of the population, therefore needing differential interventions to address the discrepancies seen within each country.

description: Wir haben es bei unserem Thema also mit einem Phantasma zu tun, dem der Beseelung, der Unterstellung von Odem, von Atem, bei toter Materie, bei den Maschinen. Und auch der Eindruck, die Maschinen machten sich nach und nach selbständig, und sie hätten so etwas wie Autonomie, ist natürlich nicht von der Hand zu weisen. Niemand könnte mehr behaupten, etwa das Internet noch zu beherrschen, wie man ein Werkzeug beherrscht. Unbeherrschbarkeit ist ja geradezu ein notwendiges Charakteristikum selbstorganisierender Systeme. Aber ist es denn so, dass wir unsere Computersysteme nicht mehr direkt programmieren können, bleibt uns, wie bei Kontrollversuchen an autopoietischen Systemen nur die Handlungsoption, Bedingungen für Möglichkeiten zu schaffen, und sind wir dann zum Zusehen und Abwarten verurteilt, ob manches dann auch so kommt, wie wir es intendieren?

description: Link failures repeatedly induce large-scale outages in power grids and other supply networks. Yet, it is still not well understood, which links are particularly prone to inducing such outages. Here we analyze how the nature and location of each link impact the network's capability to maintain stable supply. We propose two criteria to identify critical links on the basis of the topology and the load distribution of the network prior to link failure. They are determined via a link's redundant capacity and a renormalized linear response theory we derive. These criteria outperform critical link prediction based on local measures such as loads. The results not only further our understanding of the physics of supply networks in general. As both criteria are available before any outage from the state of normal operation, they may also help real-time monitoring of grid operation, employing counter-measures and support network planning and design.

description: Agro-biodiversity can provide natural insurance to risk averse farmers. We employ a conceptual ecological-economic model to analyze the choice of agrobiodiversity by risk averse farmers who have access to financial insurance. We study the implications for individually and socially optimal agro-ecosystem management and policy design when on-farm agro-biodiversity, through ecosystem processes at higher hierarchical levels, generates a positive externality on other farmers. We show that for the individual farmer natural insurance from agro-biodiversty and financial insurance are substitutes. While an improved access to financial insurance leads to lower agro-biodiversity, the e_ects on the market failure problem (due to the external benefits of on-farm agro-biodiversity) and on welfare are determined by properties of the agro-ecosystem and agro-biodiversity’s external benefits. We derive a specific condition on agro-ecosystem functioning under which, if financial insurance becomes more accessible, welfare in the absence of regulation increases or decreases.
Situation of Hepatitis B birth dose immunization in Vietnam and a proposed implementation research framework for identifying facilitators and barriers to Hepatitis B vaccine uptake

description: Vietnam has been a highly endemic country with viral hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. An estimated 8.4 million people lived with chronic HBV infection leading to approximately 23,300 HBV-related deaths in Vietnam in 2005 (Van T T Nguyen, 2012). Estimation of projected number of HBV-related liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in 2025 was 58,650 and 25,000, respectively, resulting in 40,000 deaths (Van Thi Thuy Nguyen, Law, & Dore, 2008). Vaccination under the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is the primary means of preventing both vertical and horizontal HBV infection in children in Vietnam. The Ministry of Health (MOH) recommends that all infants receive a birth dose of Hepatitis B monovalent vaccine (HepB-BD) within 24 hours of birth, followed by 3 doses of pentavalent DPT-HepB-Hib combination vaccine at 2, 3, and 4 months of age. An estimation of up to 51,000 deaths could be prevented and 265,000 chronic infections could be avoided in Vietnam every year if timely birth dose and the 3 following doses of HepB vaccines was given to 95% of the birth cohort in that year (Li et al., 2016).Having been implemented for 16 years since 2003, HepB-BD immunization practice in Vietnam still shows low profile (<80% countrywide and 20-40% in mountainous areas) and encounters multiple challenges for it to be fully adopted and implemented to facilitate the achievement of nationwide public health impact on reducing burden of HepB disease. Influential factors to HepB-BD coverage rates in the country have been found to include health system, healthcare provider, recipient of care, and social related factors. Systematic identification and accurate characterization of the facilitators and barriers to full implementation of HepB-BD immunization policy in various healthcare settings and local contexts could inform effective multi-level multifaceted implementation strategies for increasing timely HepB-BD coverage rates. Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) can be a useful tool to guide the development of such implementation strategies.
Betriebliche Mitbestimmung vier Jahre nach der Reform des BetrVG: Ergebnisse der 2. Befragung der Mitglieder des Arbeitgeberverbandes Lüneburg Nordostniedersachsen

description: Vier Jahre nach Inkrafttreten der letzten Reform des Betriebsverfassungsgesetzes wurden ihre Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitbeziehungen in 600 mittelständischen Betrieben im Regierungsbezirk Lüneburg erneut empirisch untersucht. Bei der Studie handelt es sich um die zweite Befragung derselben Grundgesamtheit. Damit lassen die Ergebnisse sowohl Aussagen über die aktuelle Mitbestimmungssituation als auch über die Veränderungen seit 2003 zu. Im Blickpunkt der Befragung stand, ob der erweiterte Mitbestimmungskatalog zwischenzeitlich von den Betriebsräten genutzt wird und in welchem Umfang seit 2001 neue Betriebsräte entstanden sind. Ferner galt es zu überprüfen, welches die Schwerpunkte der Betriebsratsarbeit sind, welche Rolle dem Betriebsverfassungsgesetz hierbei zukommt und welche Effekte dies – nach Einschätzung der Arbeitgeberseite –auf die Arbeitsbeziehungen hat. Dieser Beitrag stellt Ergebnisse der Untersuchung vor und vergleicht diese mit Erkenntnissen anderer Studien.

description: Im Jahr 1991 fand in Lueneburg im dortigen Museum ein Ausstellungsprojekt statt, geplant und realisiert von Lehrenden und Studierenden unserer Universitaet. Anna Oppermann war eine der eingeladenen Kuenstlerinnen und steuerte ihr "Friduttchen"-Ensemble bei. Aus diesem Treffen entstand die Idee, den Versuch zu wagen, ihre hoch komplexe, fragile, vergaengliche Arbeit mit den informatischen und kunstwissenschaftlichen Methoden zu dokumentieren, die wir Gelegenheit hatten, ihr vorzustellen. Im folgenden Jahr entstanden dann in enger Absprache mit der Kuenstlerin erste Versionen eines digitalen Archivs ihres Ensembles "Umarmungen, Unerklaerliches und eine Gedichtzeile von R.M.R." Der Beitrag berichtet ueber das Projekt und die Dokumentation der Arbeit Anna Oppermanns mit dem XML-Standard PeTAL.

description: This paper reports on the EC-funded research to study and fight terrorist narratives, considering the outputs of the EC-funded research projects - and the analysis techniques implemented in those projects – retrieved from the Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) portal. Projects dedicated specifically to terrorist narratives and counternarratives were investigated in detail, among those funded by the EU's framework programmes for research and innovation (FP1 to Horizon 2020) as well as the European Research Council (ERC) and Internal Security Fund Police (ISFP) frameworks. A summary of the main results is provided in the paper by means of an overview of the main terrorist narratives, considering information and data emerged from the review of selected research projects, enriched with general literature review. Five terrorist narratives are addressed: a) Jihadist violent extremist narratives, b) Right-wing violent extremist narratives, c) Left-wing and anarchist violent extremist narratives, d) Ethnonationalist and Separatist violent extremist narratives; e) Single issue-terrorism violent extremist narratives (e.g. animal rights, environmental terrorism, etc.). Details are also provided for the most widely used analytical technique, e.g. semantic analysis of terrorist narratives disseminated online. The review attempts to build an informational bridge providing the research know-how to the pan-European network of Security and Intelligence practitioners, so that the collected information can be translated into practical recommendations, technologies and tools enabling practitioners to perform their duty against terrorism in an enhanced, optimized and more efficient manner.

description: This paper examines whether the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001 have influenced the job prospects of Arabs in the German labor market. Using a large, representative database of the German working population, the attacks are treated as a natural experiment that may have caused an exogenous shift in attitudes toward persons who are perceived to be Arabs. Evidence from regression-adjusted difference-in-differences-estimates indicates that 9/11 did not cause a severe decline in job prospects. This result is robust over a wide range of control groups and several definitions of the sample and the observation period. Several explanations for this result, which is in line with prior evidence from Sweden, are offered.
