description: We consider the self-interaction phenomenon in the framework of the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics. In the present paper, we obtain the self-interaction potential energy of a charge at rest for the spacetimes with topological defects of two types: for the axially symmetric spacetime of the straight cosmic string and the spherically symmetric global monopole spacetime. It is shown that the behavior of this expression depends essentially on the angular defect, in spite of the Bopp-Podolsky model parameter, which plays the role of a scale factor. In contrast with the usual Maxwell electrodynamics, the self-interaction energy for the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics appears to be finite everywhere and the standard renormalization procedure is not required.

description: Zero-valent iron [Fe(0)]-biochar composites, namely, Fe(0)-included biochar and biochar-coated Fe(0), were synthesized and their catalytic performance in the activation of persulfate for phenol degradation in water was evaluated. In the presence of the Fe(0)-biochar composites, Fe(0)-included biochar-persulfate and biochar-coated Fe(0)-persulfate systems showed higher phenol removal than a Fe(0)-persulfate system by 11.6% and 20.7%, respectively. The difference in phenol removal by persulfate between Fe(0)-included biochar and biochar-coated Fe(0) was because of the high surface area of and oxygen-containing surface functional groups on the biochar coating of the latter. Differences in the properties of these two composites may also be responsible for the different optimal persulfate concentrations and doses of the composites required in the Fe(0)-included biochar-persulfate and biochar-coated Fe(0)-persulfate systems. Under optimal conditions, phenol degradation in the aqueous phase exceeded 95% for both composites. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis revealed that hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were formed in the Fe(0)-biochar composite-persulfate systems. The results of this study suggest that Fe(0)-biochar composites can enhance phenol degradation by persulfate in water.
A case Control Study on factors of Diarrheal Morbidity among Under-Five Children in Wolaita Soddo Town, Southern Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tarekegn, Mulat
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Background: Diarrheal disease is the most common cause of illness and the second leading cause of child death in the world. The disease accounts for 4.3% of the total global disease burden; the burden being greatest in the developing world including Ethiopia. Even though there were studies that were done on childhood diarrhea in our country, they did not use analytical study designs to explore associated factors of diarrheal morbidity. Objective: This study was intended to assess potential factors associated with diarrheal morbidity among under-five children in Wolaita Soddo town, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community based case control study on sample population of 198 cases and 396 controls was conducted in Wolaita Soddo town, Southern Ethiopia, in 2010. Three kebeles based on purposive sampling technique were selected to enumerate total cases (under-five children with diarrhea) and their controls (under-five children with no diarrhea). For each case, two controls were selected from neighboring households. From the total cases and controls enumerated, 198 cases and 396 controls were selected randomly. Multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate independent effect of covariates on the diarrheal morbidity. Results: The odds of experiencing diarrheal morbidity was significantly higher among children: having fathers who were able to read and write (AOR=2.56; 95%CI=1.25, 5.25), having families who perceived they were economically very poor (AOR=3.84; 95%CI=1.25, 11.82), having families without toilet facilities (AOR=13.45; 95%CI=3.58, 50.49), having families whose compound were observed to have faeces, having families who used well/spring/river as source of water, having mother/caretaker who did not wash at all critical hand washing times, having mother/caretaker who did not know the three transmission modes of diarrheal morbidity. Conclusion: The potential factors of diarrheal morbidity were concluded to be unavailability of toilet facility, poor human waste management, and unsafe source of water, and poor personal hygiene, and lack of knowledge about transmission of diarrheal morbidity. Letting the community have common toilet facilities and common safe source of drinking water, giving health education to households on human waste management, utilization of water, personal hygiene and transmission modes of diarrhea are recommended to alleviate the problem of underfive children diarrheal morbidity.

description: We propose a radiatively induced quark and lepton mass model in the first and second generation with extra $U(1)$ gauge symmetry and vector-like fermions. Then we analyze the allowed regions which simultaneously satisfy the FCNCs for the quark sector, LFVs including $μ-e$ conversion, the quark mass and mixing, and the lepton mass and mixing. Also we estimate the typical value for the $(g-2)_μ$ in our model.

description: We study the slow quench dynamics of a one-dimensional nonequilibrium lattice gas model which exhibits a phase transition in the stationary state between a fluid phase with homogeneously distributed particles and a jammed phase with a macroscopic hole cluster. Our main result is that in the critical region ({\it i.e.}, at the critical point and in its vicinity) where the dynamics are assumed to be frozen in the standard Kibble-Zurek argument, the defect density exhibits an algebraic decay in the inverse annealing rate with an exponent that can be understood using critical coarsening dynamics. However, in a part of the critical region in the fluid phase, the standard Kibble-Zurek scaling holds. We also find that when the slow quench occurs deep into the jammed phase, the defect density behavior is explained by the rapid quench dynamics in this phase.

description: The main objective of this thesis is to present the positions of the jurisprudence on the crime of infidelity under article 390 of the new Greek Penal Code (Law 4619/2019), with emphasis on the recent jurisprudence of the criminal courts. The positions of the case law on the crime of infidelity and the reference to specific case law examples are developed in all sections of the paper. Where necessary, some theoretical views have been mentioned. The paper also reflects the writer's personal views on specific issues of infidelity. In particular, the first part of the paper develops the positions of the case law on the crime of infidelity (legal property, objective and subjective substance, participation, conspiracy) and the second part develops the problematics surrounding the prosecution of property crimes, the prosecution of infidelity and the positions of the case law on the unconstitutionality-constitutionality of the prosecution of felony infidelity against banking institutions. In conclusion, some personal views of the author are expressed on how to prosecute property crimes, on the prosecution of felony infidelity against banking institutions and on the suspension of the time limit for filing a statement of continuation of criminal proceedings in infidelity against banking institutions cases.

On the late phase of relaxation of two-dimensional fluids: turbulence of unitons

description: The two-dimensional ideal fluid and the plasma confined by a strong magnetic field exhibit an intrinsic tendency to organization due to the inverse spectral cascade. In the asymptotic states reached at relaxation the turbulence has vanished and there are only coherent vortical structures. We are interested in the regime that precedes these ordered flow patterns, in which there still is turbulence and imperfect but robust structures have emerged. To develop an analytical description we propose to start from the stationary coherent states and (in the direction opposite to relaxation) explore the space of configurations before the extremum of the functional that defines the structures has been reached. We find necessary to assemble different but related models: point-like vortices, its field theoretical formulation as interacting matter and gauge fields, chiral model and surfaces with constant mean curvature. These models are connected by the similar ability to describe randomly interacting coherent structures. They derive exactly the same equation for the asymptotic state (sinh-Poisson equation, confirmed by numerical calculation of fluid flows). The chiral model, to which one can arrive from self-duality equation of the field theoretical model for fluid and from constant mean curvature surface equations, appears to be the suitable analytical framework. Its solutions, the unitons, aquire dynamics when the system is not at the extremum of the action. In the present work we provide arguments that the underlying common nature of these models can be used to develop an approach to fluid and plasma states of turbulence interacting with structures.

On one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a reacting mixture in unbounded domains
Creators: name: Li, Siran
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we consider the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes system for a heat-conducting, compressible reacting mixture which describes the dynamic combustion of fluids of mixed kinds on unbounded domains. This model has been discussed on bounded domains by Chen (SIAM Jour. Math. Anal., 23 (1992), 609--634) and Chen-Hoff-Trivisa (Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 166 (2003), 321--358) among others, in which the reaction rate function is a discontinuous function obeying the Arrhenius Law. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to this model on one-dimensional unbounded domains with large initial data in $H^1$. Moreover, the large-time behaviour of the weak solution is identified and proved. In particular, the uniform-in-time bounds for the temperature and specific volume have been established via energy estimates. For this purpose we utilise techniques developed by Kazhikhov and coauthors ({\it cf.} Siber. Math. Jour. 23 (1982), 44--49; Jour. Appl. Math. Mech., 41 (1977), 273--282), as well as a crucial estimate in the recent work by Li-Liang (Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 220 (2016), 1195--1208). Several new estimates are also established, in order to treat the unbounded domain and the reacting terms.

Σε μια πρώτη μελέτη, αναλύθηκαν τα πειραματικά δεδομένα κρούσματα -θανάτων για 14 χώρες από 6 Ιανουαρίου του 2020 έως 11 Ιουλίου του 2021. Επιλέχθηκε αυτή η χρονική περίοδος, όπου δεν υπήρχαν ούτε εμβόλια αλλά ούτε και θεραπείες παρά μόνο lockdown από τις κυβερνήσεις. Στην συνέχεια, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δύο προσομοιώσεις στην NetLogo με σκοπό την μελέτη της εξέλιξης της κατάστασης επηρεάζοντας διάφορες παραμέτρους. Στην πρώτη προσομοίωση, έγινε περισσότερη εστίαση στον ρόλο των σχολείων στην πορεία της πανδημίας. Στην δεύτερη προσομοίωση, έγινε σφαιρικότερη μελέτη χρησιμοποιώντας ένα μεγάλο πλήθος παραμέτρων, όπως ΜΕΘ, καραντίνες, εμβόλια. Επιπλέον, έγινε σύγκριση των δυο προσομοιώσεων που αναπτύχθηκαν και επιλογή της καταλληλότερης για την μελέτη της πορείας της πανδημίας της COVID-19. Εν τέλει, έγινε και επιπλέον σύγκριση των προσομοιώσεων με τα πειραματικά δεδομένα με σκοπό την επιλογή της καταλληλότερης.
description: This thesis aims to simulate and set in motion certain parameters which have affected the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic’s course. First, we studied the experimental cases-deaths’ data for 14 countries that were analyzed from January 6th, 2020, to July 1st 2021. This period was selected among others, since there were neither vaccines or treatments but only lockdown restrictions implemented by governments. Retrospectively, two simulations were deployed using NetLogo to keep track of progress by regulating different sets of parameters. The first simulation was based upon the role of schools in the pandemic’s course. For the second simulation, we conducted a more globally-oriented analysis utilizing a plethora of parameters, such as ICU, quarantines, and vaccines. As a next step, the above simulations were compared with the most befitting one being selected for the study of the COVID-19 pandemic’s course. Ultimately, there was a comparison between the simulations and the experimental data as well so as to decide which is the most compatible.

description: Η έρευνα αυτή μελέτησε τις σχέσεις μεταξύ της συναισθηματικής νοημοσύνης, της φυσικής δραστηριότητας και της αυτοεκτίμησης σε έφηβους μαθητές και μαθήτριες. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτελούνταν από 321 έφηβους μαθητές/τριες (Μ.Ο.= 16.42, T.A.= .981), οι οποίοι φοιτούσαν σε Λύκεια στην περιφερειακή ενότητα του Πειραιά στην Αττική. Πραγματοποιήθηκε ποσοτική συγχρονική μελέτη. Για την συλλογή των δεδομένων χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι εξής κλίμακες: Emotion Intelligence Scale (Schutte et al., 1998), Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (Kowalski et al., 1997), Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (Marsh, 1996). Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν την ύπαρξη σημαντικών συσχετίσεων μεταξύ των παραγόντων της συναισθηματικής νοημοσύνης, της αυτοεκτίμησης και της φυσικής δραστηριότητας. Επιπρόσθετα διαπιστώθηκε ότι η συναισθηματική νοημοσύνη και η φυσική δραστηριότητα αποτελούν προβλεπτικούς παράγοντες της αυτοεκτίμησης των εφήβων. Επίσης, βρέθηκε ότι δεν υπάρχουν διαφορές μεταξύ αγοριών και κοριτσιών στις παραμέτρους της συναισθηματικής νοημοσύνης και της αυτοεκτίμησης. Ωστόσο, διαπιστώθηκαν διαφορές στα επίπεδα της φυσικής δραστηριότητας των αγοριών και των κοριτσιών, με τα αγόρια να εκτιμούν ότι διαθέτουν υψηλότερα επίπεδα φυσικής δραστηριότητας από τα κορίτσια. Προτείνεται η ανάπτυξη στρατηγικών και διδακτικών παρεμβάσεων αφενός για αύξηση της φυσικής δραστηριότητας των εφήβων και αφετέρου για την βελτίωση των επιπέδων της αυτοεκτίμησης και της συναισθηματικής νοημοσύνης.
description: This study examined the relationships between emotional intelligence, physical activity and self-esteem in adolescent students. The sample of the research consisted of 321 adolescent students (M= 16.42, SD= .981) who are studying in high schools in the regional unit of Piraeus in Attica. A quantitative cross-sectional study was performed. A questionnaire was used to collect the data and the following psychometric scales were used: Emotion Intelligence Scale (Schutte et al., 1998), Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (Kowalski et al., 1997), Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (Marsh, 1996). It was found that there is a correlation between emotional intelligence, self-esteem and physical activity, as well as that emotional intelligence and physical activity are predictors of adolescent self-esteem. On the other hand, it was found that there are no differences between boys and girls in emotional intelligence and self-esteem. However, there is a difference in physical activity between boys and girls, with boys having more physical activity than girls. Based on the results of this research, as very low physical activity was found, it is proposed to develop strategies and interventions to increase the physical activity of adolescents.

Assesment of Factores Affecting Safe Delivery Care Service Utilization In Brna Tsemay Woreda, South Omo Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Haile, Firehiwot
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Background: Every minute, at least one woman dies from pregnancy-related causes: 99% of these are in developing countries. The majority of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and is avoidable by using standard interventions and health care which all pregnant women and their newborns need. Objective: The main objective of this study is to assess factors affecting safe delivery care service utilization in Bena Tsemay Wereda. Methods: A cross sectional community based study which was supplemented by qualitative method was conducted in Bena Tsemay Wereda from August, 2009 to June, 2010. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 426 women who had childbearing experience in the past five years prior to the study. To collect the quantitative data, well structured, pre-tested questionnaire was administered by data collectors. To supplement the quantitative information FGD and key informant interviews were conducted. Bivariate analysis of chi-square statistics and binary logistic regression is used to show the association of different variables with the dependent variable. Moreover, a multivariate analysis was implemented to identify factors that affect the utilization of safe delivery care utilization. Result: From the total of 426 mothers, 386 (90.6%) delivered their last child at home and only 40 (9.4%) at health institution. Among the home delivery the distribution of birth attendants was 25.4% TBA, 36.5% relatives and 22.8% their neighbours. Most of the respondents' reasons for home delivery; 114 (29.2%), were reported that the HI was too far and there was no transportation and the other 93 (24.1%) due to their wish to deliver by nearby relatives. On the other hand, 52.5% of the respondents who deliver at HI were informed to deliver at HI. In multivariate analysis knowledge on DS, attitude towards institutional delivery, FP utilization, educational status of the mother, radio availability, walking distance of the HF, problem faced related to pregnancy or child birth and sex of health professional were found to be factors affecting safe delivery care utilization. Conclusion and Recommendation: The utilization of safe delivery care service was very low in the woreda. Most of the important factors influencing the utilization of safe delivery care services were socio economic, health service related factors and factors related to the mothers like attitude and knowledge on DS. So improving education for both groups especially girls, beyond the primary school, needs to be strongly encouraged. Health care providers should provide information on risks of pregnancy, benefits of giving birth at health facilities, danger signs during pregnancy and labor to mothers, family members and the community consistent to the focused ANC service provision.

description: Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, ob sich in Bezug auf den Wandel der Beschäftigungsformen und der Arbeitszeiten Tendenzen der "Entgrenzung" von Normalarbeit beobachten lassen. Die Autorin zeigt anhand empirischer Fakten, dass sich Veränderungen derzeit eher am oberen und unteren Rand des Beschäftigungssystems ausmachen lassen, während der Kernbereich der Normalarbeit zumindest bisher von diesem Wandel bestenfalls tangiert wird. Eine Analyse der Triebkräfte des Wandels legt eine Interpretation als Nebeneinander von Be- und Entgrenzungen bzw. einer Polarisierung von Beschäftigungsstrukturen nahe. Anhand internationaler Vergleiche wird gezeigt, dass Politik und Regulierung einen starken Einfluss auf den Wandel der Beschäftigungsstrukturen haben. Die Autorin begründet ihre Auffassung, wonach der Begriff der Entgrenzung am treffendsten dort anzuwenden ist, wo sich derzeit eine Veränderung des Arbeitsvertrags vollzieht.
description: This article deals with the question as to whether a tendency towards a delimitation/liberalisation of standard employment can be observed with respect to the change in forms of employment and working times. The author shows on the basis of empirical facts, that changes can be seen rather at the top and bottom margins of the employment system, while the main area of standard employment is hardly influenced by the change, if at all. An analysis of the driving forces of that change suggests to interpret it as a co-existence of limitation on the one hand and delimitation/liberalisation on the other hand, i.e. a polarisation of employment structures. On the basis of international comparisons it is clear that politics and regulations have a strong influence on the change in employment structures. The author justifies her perception, whereby the term delimitation/liberalisation can be applied most aptly where changes in the working contract are currently executed.

description: In the search for an accurate and computationally efficient approximation to the exact exchange potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory, we recently compared various semilocal exchange potentials to the exact one [F. Tran et al., Phys. Rev. B 91, 165121 (2015)]. It was concluded that the Becke-Johnson (BJ) potential is a very good starting point, but requires the use of empirical parameters to obtain good agreement with the exact exchange potential. In the present work, we extend the comparison by considering the Krieger-Li-Iafrate (KLI) approximation, which is a beyond-semilocal approximation. It is shown that overall the KLI and BJ-based potentials are the most reliable approximations to the exact exchange potential, however, sizeable differences, especially for the antiferromagnetic transition-metal oxides, can be obtained.

description: Häufig endet die berufliche Karriere von Frauen an einer sogenannten "gläsernen Decke". Bei Männern scheint dies eher nicht der Fall zu sein. Dies ist erstaunlich, da sich heutzutage die Qualität der Berufsausbildung von Frauen und Männern stark ähnelt. Es stellt sich daher die Frage nach Gründen für Existenz und Persistenz der "gläsernen Decke" - und zwar gerade auch für Frauen in Führungspositionen. Ein wesentlicher Grund scheint darin zu liegen, dass Arbeitnehmer aufgrund von Erwartungen über ihre künftige Arbeitsproduktivität eingestellt und in unterschiedliche Positionen gebracht werden. Erwartungen über die Produktivität von Managerinnen sind maßgeblich von Stereotypen über den Durchschnitt der Frauen geprägt und können in den meisten Fällen empirisch nicht untermauert werden. Ein wichtiges derartiges Stereotyp ist etwa die Auffassung, Frauen würden häufiger als Männer und vor allem familienbedingt ihre Arbeitsstelle verlassen. Ein weiteres Stereotyp ist das einer höheren Risikoaversion von Frauen. Beide Stereotype sind insbesondere für Managerinnen nicht haltbar. Eine "gläserne Decke" ist daher als diskriminierend anzusehen.
description: Women s professional careers are often limited due to the so-called "glass ceiling". For men s careers such ceiling does not seem to exist. This is an interesting phenomenon since men s and women s (professional) education seems to become more and more similar. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to investigate reasons for existence and persistence of the glass ceiling, especially for women in leading positions. A principal reason is given by the fact that employees are hired and promoted according to their expected future productivity. Expectations on the productivity of female managers are heavily influenced by stereotypes concerning women s average productivity. In most cases there is no sufficient empirical evidence to support such stereotypes. One important stereotype is that women are leaving their firms more often than men and mainly due to family reasons. A further stereotype indicates that women are more averse torisk than men. Both stereotypes are without empirical support, especially if female managers are considered. Therefore, a "glass ceiling" has to be classified as discriminating phenomenon.

description: Background: In child development, the first two years have critical importance. At this stage breast milk is an important source of nutrition but the breastfeeding practice is poor and it is decreasing. The effect of developmental delay is pronounced in developing countries due to limited access to other resources that complement breast milk for mental development. The roles of nutritional and environmental factors on child development need to be studied for possible intervention. Objective: To assess the association between duration of breastfeeding and fine motor delay among children aged 20 to 24 months living in Butajira, southern Ethiopia. Method: This study was conducted among 20 to 24 months old children employing community-based case-control study design. Cases and controls were identified by conducting screening among children from 20 to 24 months living in Butajira. Fine motor was assessed using Denver developmental screening test. Independent variables were assessed using interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were entered on to Epi-data version 4.4.2.1 computer software and exported into STATA version 14 for data cleaning and analysis. Descriptive statistics was determined and binary logistic regression was used for the association. Variables with p-value <0.2 on bivariable test and variables that have important clinical significance were added to multivariable logistic regression model and checked for significant association, which was declared at a 95% confidence level. Result: The study has a sample size of 332 with 83 cases and 249 controls of children aged 20 to 24 months. We didn't find significant protective effect of breastfeeding for fine motor delay for children who were breastfed from 18 to 20 months [AOR: 0.42, 95% CI :( 0.12, 1.42)] and for children who were breastfed from 21 to 24 months [AOR: 0.77, 95% CI :( 0.33, 1.81)] compared to breastfed less than 18 months. Children who were stunted were 2 times more likely to have fine motor delay than children who were not [AOR: 2.04, 95% CI :( 1.11, 3.74)]. Females were 2 times more likely to have fine motor delay than males [AOR: 2.15, 95% CI :( 1.18, 3.89)]. Children who had mothers in the primary school were 71% less likely [AOR: 0.12, 95% CI :( 0.14, 0.70)] and children who had mothers in the secondary school were 80% less likely [AOR: 0.20, 95% CI: (0.06, 0.70)] to have fine motor delay than mothers who didn't have formal education. Conclusion: Duration of breastfeeding was not associated with fine motor delay for children aged 20 to 24 months old. Stunting, being a female and educational status of the mother were identified to have significant association with fine motor delay. Malnutrition should be prevented and all children should get access to adequate care and nutrition

description: In the last two decades Resistive Plate Chambers were employed in the Cosmic Ray Experiments COVER-PLASTEX and ARGO/YBJ. In both experiments the detectors were housed indoors, likely owing to gas distribution requirements and the need to control environment variables that directly affect RPCs operational stability. But in experiments where Extended Air Shower (EAS) sampling is necessary, large area arrays composed by dispersed stations are deployed, rendering this kind of approach impossible. In this situation, it would be mandatory to have detectors that could be deployed in small standalone stations, with very rare opportunities for maintenance, and with good resilience to environmental conditions. Aiming to meet these requirements, we started some years ago the development of RPCs for Autonomous Stations. The results from indoor tests and measurements were very promising, both concerning performance and stability under very low gas flow rate, which is the main requirement for Autonomous Stations. In this work we update the indoor results and show the first ones concerning outdoor stable operation. In particular, a dynamic adjustment of the high voltage is applied to keep gas gain constant.

description: Results are presented from a search for the Higgs boson decay H$\to$Z$\gamma$, where Z$\to\ell^+\ell^-$ with $\ell$ = e or $\mu$. The search is performed using a sample of proton-proton (pp) collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Events are assigned to mutually exclusive categories, which exploit differences in both event topology and kinematics of distinct Higgs production mechanisms to enhance signal sensitivity. The signal strength $\mu$, defined as the product of the cross section and the branching fraction [$\sigma($pp$\to$H$)\mathcal{B}($H$\to$Z$\gamma)$] relative to the standard model prediction, is extracted from a simultaneous fit to the $\ell^+\ell^-\gamma$ invariant mass distributions in all categories and is found to be $\mu$=2.4$\pm$0.9 for a Higgs boson mass of 125.38 GeV. The statistical significance of the observed excess of events is 2.7 standard deviations. This measurement corresponds to $\sigma($pp$\to$H$)\mathcal{B}($H$\to$Z$\gamma)$ = 0.21$\pm$0.08 pb. The observed (expected) upper limit at 95% confidence level on $\mu$ is 4.1 (1.8). The ratio of branching fractions $\mathcal{B}($H$\to$Z$\gamma)/\mathcal{B}($H$\to\gamma\gamma)$ is measured to be 1.5$^{+0.7}_{-0.6}$, which agrees with the standard model prediction of 0.69 $\pm$ 0.04 at the 1.5 standard deviation level.

description: In the classical leader election procedure all players toss coins independently and those who get tails leave the game, while those who get heads move to the next round where the procedure is repeated. We investigate a generalizion of this procedure in which the labels (positions) of the players who remain in the game are determined using an integer-valued random walk. We study the asymptotics of some relevant quantities for this model such as: the positions of the persons who remained after $n$ rounds; the total number of rounds until all the persons among $1,2,\ldots,M$ leave the game; and the number of players among $1,2,\ldots,M$ who survived the first $n$ rounds. Our results lead to some interesting connection with Galton-Watson branching processes and with the solutions of certain stochastic-fixed point equations arising in the context of the stability of point processes under thinning. We describe the set of solutions to these equations and thus provide a characterization of one-dimensional point processes that are stable with respect to thinning by integer-valued random walks.

description: In Zeiten einer zunehmenden Bedeutung betrieblicher Personalbeurteilung und leistungsabhängiger Entlohnung stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit Instrumente der Leistungsbeurteilung Geschlechtsdiskriminierungen in personal- und führungspolitischen Entscheidungen stützen oder sogar verdecken können. Der Artikel wirft einen kritischen Blick auf unser gesellschaftlich verankertes Verständnis von Leistung, bietet eine dazu differierende Beschreibung der Leistungsbeurteilung als sozialen Prozess an und skizziert auf dieser Basis Quellen der Geschlechtsdiskriminierung. Abschließend werden Gestaltungshinweise für Instrumente der Leistungsbeurteilung gegeben.
description: The influence of performance appraisal and performance-based payment models is rising. Therefore, it should be considered if and possibly how performance appraisal instruments contain or produce sources of sex discrimination. The article undertakes a critical review of what we usually call "performance", provides a description of performance appraisal as a social process and explains some crucial sources of discrimination within. Finally, directions for the development and evaluation of performance appraisal instruments are suggested.
