description: Digital learning platforms are currently being discussed as a means to democratize education, offering less privileged groups the opportunity to advance their careers. Research suggests, however, that some online courses may favor more privileged groups, imposing psychological barriers on minorities. Our study examines these barriers and proposes design principles to promote inclusive digital learning environments for ethnic minorities. By focusing on underrepresented groups, such as ethnic minorities, who have historically faced barriers to the information technology sector due to stereotypes and prejudice, we empower them to engage with digital learning platforms confidently. Developing platforms that reduce stigma is essential to meeting the needs of individuals regardless of ethnicity, religion, or gender. To facilitate the understanding and illustration of the design principles, we implemented them in a software prototype that analyzes learning platforms for inclusivity. Through our findings, we promote equity in learning environments, thereby fostering responsible digital transformation.

description: The event GW170817/GRB 170817A, discovered via the successful joint observation of its gravitational wave radiation and its multi-wavelength electromagnetic counterparts, was the first definite "smoking-gun" from the merger of two neutron stars (NSs). However, the remnant of the merger remains unknown. Piro et al. recently claimed that a low-significance X-ray variability in GRB 170817A. By systematically comparing the properties of variability in the afterglow of GRB 170817A and X-ray flares in GRB afterglows, we find that this X-ray variability seems to share similar statistical correlations with X-ray flares in GRB afterglows. We further investigate several possible merger product scenarios to see whether they can produce the observed X-ray variability in GRB 170817A. The first scenario invokes a stable magnetar as the central engine producing the later X-ray variability via differential rotation or fall-back accretion onto the NS. The second scenario invokes a black hole as the central engine with a fall-back accretion process. The final scenario is a central engine with a long-lived supra-massive NS. We find that the first two scenarios have difficulty producing the later X-ray variability, which requires either an impractical NS magnetic field or an extraordinarily large stellar envelope and an extremely long accretion timescale. However, the third scenario seems to be consistent with observations, and the later X-ray variability can be produced by the magnetosphere which is expelled following the collapse of the NS with a $B_p\in(3.6, 13.5)\times10^{13}$ G.

description: We present radio observations of the afterglow of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB980329 made between one month and several years after the burst, a re-analysis of previously published submillimeter data, and late-time optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the host galaxy. From the absence of a spectral break in the optical/NIR colors of the host galaxy, we exclude the earlier suggestion that GRB980329 lies at a redshift of z >~5. We combine our data with the numerous multi-wavelength observations of the early afterglow, fit a comprehensive afterglow model to the entire broadband dataset, and derive fundamental physical parameters of the blast-wave and its host environment. Models for which the ejecta expand isotropically require both a high circumburst density and extreme radiative losses from the shock. No low density model (n << 10 cm^{-3}) fits the data. A burst with a total energy of ~ 10^{51} erg, with the ejecta narrowly collimated to an opening angle of a few degrees, driven into a surrounding medium with density ~ 20 cm^{-3}, provides a satisfactory fit to the lightcurves over a range of redshifts.

description: Phase change memory (PCM) is an emerging data storage technology, however its programming is thermal in nature and typically not energy-efficient. Here we reduce the switching power of PCM through the combined approaches of filamentary contacts and thermal confinement. The filamentary contact is formed through an oxidized TiN layer on the bottom electrode, and thermal confinement is achieved using a monolayer semiconductor interface, three-atom thick MoS2. The former reduces the switching volume of the phase change material and yields a 70% reduction in reset current versus typical 150 nm diameter mushroom cells. The enhanced thermal confinement achieved with the ultra-thin (~6 Å) MoS2 yields an additional 30% reduction in switching current and power. We also use detailed simulations to show that further tailoring the electrical and thermal interfaces of such PCM cells toward their fundamental limits could lead up to a six-fold benefit in power efficiency.

description: Using the Very Large Array, we have detected radio emission from the site of SN 1970G in the Sc galaxy M101. These observations are 31 years after the supernova event, making SN 1970G the longest monitored radio supernova. With flux densities of 0.12 +/- 0.020 mJy at 6 cm and 0.16 +/- 0.015 mJy at 20 cm, the spectral index of -0.24 +/- 0.20 appears to have flattened somewhat when compared with the previously reported value of -0.56 +/- 0.11, taken in 1990. The radio emission at 20 cm has decayed since the 1990 observations with a power-law index of beta_20cm = -0.28 +/- 0.13. We discuss the radio properties of this source and compare them to those of other Type II radio supernovae.

description: Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) synchronisiert IT- und Geschäftsstrategien, um die Effizienz und Zielerreichung zu verbessern. Die Einbindung von HR-Frameworks in EAM stellt sicher, dass die notwendigen Fähigkeiten zur Unterstützung der Geschäftsstrategie bereitstehen. Kompetenzmanagement ist dabei zentral für die Erfassung, Entwicklung und Nutzung von Mitarbeiterkompetenzen. Gamification gewinnt hier an Bedeutung, da es Motivation und Engagement der Mitarbeiter fördert. Eine positive Unternehmenskultur sowie kontinuierliche Personalentwicklung sind entscheidend für ein produktives Arbeitsumfeld. Diese Arbeit entwickelt eine Methodik zur Integration von Gamification in verschiedene HR-Prozesse wie Recruiting, Onboarding, Kompetenzbewertung und Schulungen. Effektives Kompetenzmanagement umfasst die Erfassung aktueller Fähigkeiten, Bedarfsanalysen und gezielte Maßnahmen zur Schließung von Kompetenzlücken. Gamification kann HR-Prozesse attraktiver gestalten, kontinuierliches Lernen fördern und eine positive Unternehmenskultur unterstützen. Die Learn-Battle-App veranschaulicht einen gamifizierten Lernansatz, der durch interaktive Modi, personalisierte Lernpfade und Lernanalysen den Lernprozess unterstützt. Die Integration solcher gamifizierten Werkzeuge kann Rekrutierung, Onboarding, Kompetenzidentifikation und Mitarbeiterschulung verbessern, was zu höherem Engagement und besserer Leistung führt. Gamification und Game-based Learning sind wertvolle Instrumente zur Steigerung des Mitarbeiterengagements und der Leistungsfähigkeit und fördern eine innovative und motivierende Arbeitskultur.

description: I consider the semiclassical approximation of the graded Chern-Simons field theories describing certain systems of topological A type branes in the large radius limit of Calabi-Yau compactifications. I show that the semiclassical partition function can be expressed in terms of a certain (differential) numerical invariant which is a version of the analytic torsion of Ray and Singer, but associated with flat graded superbundles. I also discuss a `twisted' version of the Ray-Singer norm, and show its independence of metric data. As illustration, I consider graded D-brane pairs of unit relative grade with a scalar condensate in the boundary condition changing sector. For the particularly simple case when the reference flat connections are trivial, I show that the generalized torsion reduces to a power of the classical Ray-Singer invariant of the base 3-manifold.

description: The aging population and strained healthcare systems globally heighten the importance of informal caregiving. Informal caregivers face mental and physical strains while meeting increasing care needs. To support them, a range of services is offered by healthcare providers and health systems, evolving alongside the digital transformation of the care sector. Collaboration among stakeholders fosters value exchange, shaping informal care support service ecosystems. However, research on these value exchanges within informal caregiving ecosystems is limited. This paper addresses this gap by analyzing how value is exchanged between different actors. Analyzing both literature and informal care business models, we model ecosystem dynamics using the e³-value ontology. We contribute to the body of knowledge by providing an overview of key actors and value streams in informal care support ecosystems. For practice, we offer insights on innovating within existing care ecosystems. For academia, we lay the foundation for further model-based inquiries of interdisciplinary research.

description: We study the morphological transformation from late types to early types and the quenching of galaxies with the seventh Data Release (DR7) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Both early type galaxies and late type galaxies are found to have bimodal distributions on the star formation rate versus stellar mass diagram ($\lg SFR - \lg M_*$). We therefore classify them into four types: the star-forming early types (sEs), the quenched early types (qEs), the star-forming late types (sLs) and the quenched late types (qLs). We checked many parameters on various environmental scales for their potential effects on the quenching rates of late types and early types, as well as the early type fractions among star-forming galaxies and those among quenched galaxies. These parameters include: the stellar mass $M_*$, and the halo mass $M_{halo}$; the small-scale environmental parameters, such as the halo centric radius $R_p/r_{180}$ and the third nearest neighbor distances ($d_{3nn}$); the large-scale environmental parameters, specifically whether they are located in clusters, filaments, sheets, or voids. We found that the morphological transformation is mainly regulated by the stellar mass. Quenching is mainly driven by the stellar mass for more massive galaxies and by the halo mass for galaxies with smaller stellar masses. In addition, we see an overall stronger halo quenching effect in early type galaxies, which might be attributed to their lacking of cold gas or earlier accretion into the massive host halos.

Some of these factors are presented and described in relation to the Umayyad Palace in Amman (Jordan). This site is of great importance due to its central location and historical significance. In order to preserve it, a case study was conducted with the aim of exploring the potential of photogrammetry. Despite the challenge of obtaining sufficient perspectives, the creation of a 3D model is possible using techniques that are widely accessible. Such digital 3D models are versatile and may become increasingly important in the future, particularly in areas such as education, construction, and tourism.

description: The Corticospinal Tract (CST) is a part of pyramidal tract (PT), and it can innervate the voluntary movement of skeletal muscle through spinal interneurons (the 4th layer of the Rexed gray board layers), and anterior horn motorneurons (which control trunk and proximal limb muscles). Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly disabling disease often caused by traffic accidents. The recovery of CST and the functional reconstruction of spinal anterior horn motor neurons play an essential role in the treatment of SCI. However, the localization and reconstruction of CST are still challenging issues; the accuracy of the geometric reconstruction can directly affect the results of the surgery. The main contribution of this paper is the reconstruction of the CST based on the fiber orientation distributions (FODs) tractography. Differing from tensor-based tractography in which the primary direction is a determined orientation, the direction of FODs tractography is determined by the probability. The spherical harmonics (SPHARM) can be used to approximate the efficiency of FODs tractography. We manually delineate the three ROIs (the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the cerebral peduncle, and the anterior pontine area) by the ITK-SNAP software, and use the pipeline software to reconstruct both the left and right sides of the CST fibers. Our results demonstrate that FOD-based tractography can show more and correct anatomical CST fiber bundles.

description: Das sog. Once-Only-Prinzip, wonach Daten möglichst ein einziges Mal an die öffentliche Verwaltung mitgeteilt werden müssten, stellt eines der Leitprinzipien zeitgenössischer Ansätze zur Digitalisierung der öffentlichen Verwaltung dar. Indessen steht das Prinzip in einem klaren Spannungsverhältnis zum datenschutzrechtlichen Zweckbindungsgrundsatz, wonach Daten nur für klar festgelegte Zwecke verarbeitet werden dürfen. Während der Zweckbindungsgrundsatz häufig auf das Grundrecht auf Schutz personenbezogener Daten zurückgeführt wird, wird dem Once-Only-Prinzip i.d.R. kein Grundrechtscharakter zugesprochen. Dabei wird übersehen, dass auch das Once-Only-Prinzip auf einem Grundrecht basiert, nämlich auf dem Grundrecht auf eine gute Verwaltung. Zwischen Once-Only und Zweckbindungsgrundsatz besteht somit auch eine grundrechtstheoretische Spannung, die im vorliegenden Beitrag des Näheren erörtert wird. Es wird argumentiert, dass sich zu einer Realisierung beider Grundrechte zum höchstmöglichen Grade einerseits klare rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen bei der Implementierung des Once-Only-Prinzips, andererseits aber auch ein zielgerichteter Einsatz technischer Lösungen – dabei insbesondere des sog. Datencockpits – als zwingend erforderlich erweisen.

In this study, we present an AI model to detect, quantify, and localize defects on wooden logs. This model aims to both automate the quality control process and provide a more consistent and reliable quality assessment. For this purpose, a dataset of 1424 sample images of wood logs is created. A total of 5 annotators possessing different levels of expertise are involved in dataset creation. An inter-annotator agreement analysis is conducted to analyze the impact of expertise on the annotation task and to highlight subjective differences in annotator judgment. We explore, train, and fine-tune the state-of-the-art InternImage and ONE-PEACE architectures for semantic segmentation. The best model created achieves an average IoU of 0.71 and shows detection and quantification capabilities close to the human annotators.

A species widely distributed in montane areas from the Caucasus region (described from Kobi in the Caucasus Major), Armenia, Asia Minor, Syria to Iran, with numerous synonyms (SCHMIDT 1992: 120; CATPAL 1: BOUSQUET 2003: 451), the hitherto isolated occurrence in Bulgaria (APFELBECK 1904: 291) could not be confirmed due to the lack of documented specimens (SCHMIDT l.c). The occurrence in the Golan is not surprising but as I know of no other published records, above findings are the first records for Israel.

description: On 14 June 2023, a general AI regulation was adopted by the European Parliament on the proposal of the EU Commission. For the first time, rules on product safety and the protection of human rights were combined. The background for this legislative initiative is the fear of increasing unpredictability, opacity and lack of explainability of current machine learning, which is largely based on pattern recognition in large statistical data masses generated by modern computer capacities and data storage. However, we already know from elementary statistics that statistical correlations cannot provide causal explanations. Is AI becoming an inscrutable "black box" which threaten the sovereignty of human individuals? Therefore, a European research group has suggested „Living guidelines for responsible use of generative AI“ which concern the sovereignty of scientists, reviewers of scientific papers, scientific journals, and scientific organisations working with chatbots. These guidelines were supported and published last year by „Nature“ [Bo23]. The paper invited LLM developers and companies, researchers/reviewers/editors of scientific journals and publishers/research (funding) organisations to comment the criteria for an independent scientific auditing agency for LLMs. However, we should be cautious with our regulatory efforts so that we do not end up stifling Europe's innovation potential and falling behind in international competition.

description: The magnetosphere sustained by the rotation of the Earth's liquid iron core traps charged particles, mostly electrons and protons, into structures referred to as the Van Allen belts. These radiation belts, in which the density of charged energetic particles can be very destructive for sensitive instrumentation, have to be crossed on every orbit of satellites traveling in elliptical orbits around the Earth, as is the case for ESA's INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton missions. This paper presents the first working version of the 5DRBM-e model, a global, data-driven model of the radiation belts for trapped electrons. The model is based on in-situ measurements of electrons by the radiation monitors on board the INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton satellites along their long elliptical orbits for respectively 16 and 19 years of operations. This model, in its present form, features the integral flux for trapped electrons within energies ranging from 0.7 to 1.75 MeV. Cross-validation of the 5DRBM-e with the well-known AE8min/max and AE9mean models for a low eccentricity GPS orbit shows excellent agreement, and demonstrates that the new model can be used to provide reliable predictions along widely different orbits around Earth for the purpose of designing, planning, and operating satellites with more accurate instrument safety margins. Future work will include extending the model based on electrons of different energies and proton radiation measurement data.

description: We obtained EUV photometry, optical spectroscopy, and multi-color optical photometry for WX Cet during its 1998 November superoutburst. WX Cet is only the second short-period, low mass transfer CV (TOAD) to ever be observed in the EUV. Our determined superhump period is consistent with that found by Kato et al. (0.059 d) and we confirm that superhumps are grey in the optical. The optical spectra provide direct evidence that the line emission region is optically thick and our multi-wavelength photometric measurements are used to determine the inner accretion disk and boundary layer temperatures during superoutburst. Using a determined distance to WX Cet of ~130 pc, we find T$_{ID}$= 21,000K and T_{BL}~72,500K. Both values are in good agreement with that expected by models of the superoutburst continuum being produced by the inner disk and boundary layer.

description: An integrable structure behind Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde (WDVV) equations is identified with reduction of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a homogeneous GL(N, C) loop group. Reduction requires the dressing matrices to be fixed points of a loop group automorphism of order two resulting in a sub-hierarchy of gl(N,C) hierarchy containing only odd symmetry flows. The model possesses Virasoro symmetry and imposing Virasoro constraints ensures homogeneity property of the Darboux-Egoroff structure. Dressing matrices of the reduced model provide solutions of the WDVV equations.

description: A review is given on the studies of formation of light clusters and heavier fragments in heavy-ion collisions at incident energies from several tens of MeV/nucleon to several hundred MeV/nucleon, focusing on dynamical aspects and on microscopic theoretical descriptions. Existing experimental data already clarify basic characteristics of expanding and fragmenting systems typically in central collisions, where cluster correlations cannot be ignored. Cluster correlations appear almost everywhere in excited low-density nuclear many-body systems and nuclear matter in statistical equilibrium where the properties of a cluster may be influenced by the medium. On the other hand, transport models to solve the time evolution have been developed based on the single-nucleon distribution function. Different types of transport models are reviewed putting emphasis both on theoretical features and practical performances in the description of fragmentation. A key concept to distinguish different models is how to consistently handle single-nucleon motions in the mean field, fluctuation or branching induced by two-nucleon collisions, and localization of nucleons to form fragments and clusters. Some transport codes have been extended to treat light clusters explicitly. Results indicate that cluster correlations can have strong impacts on global collision dynamics and correlations between light clusters should also be taken into account.

description: Machine learning has made some remarkable breakthroughs in recent years. It has entered many sectors of the economy and everyday topics and in some cases has led to significant disruptions. The emergence of quantum computing is expected to lead to further significant increases in the performance of machine learning – regarding speed up of the training process and expressivity of the resulting models. However, as with all technologies, both classical and quantum machine learning are associated with new risks and attack vectors. This paper conducts a thorough examination of the vulnerabilities exhibited by classical and quantum machine learning models. Through a review of pertinent literature, we examine the vulnerability of classical models to attacks such as adversarial examples, evasion attacks, and poisoning attacks. Concurrently, we delve into the emerging realm of quantum machine learning, analyzing the unique properties of quantum systems and their implications for security in machine learning applications. Our comparative analysis offers insights into the robustness, scalability, and computational complexity of classical and quantum models under different attack scenarios. Furthermore, we discuss potential defense mechanisms and mitigation strategies to enhance the resilience of both classical and quantum machine learning frameworks against adversarial attacks.
