title: Bildung zu „Volkstum und Heimat“ in der österreichischen Volksbildung der Zwischenkriegszeit
Creators: name: Dostal, Thomas Emanuel
Year: 2017

description: Vorliegende Arbeit ist ein Beitrag zur historischen Erwachsenenbildungsforschung der Zwischenkriegszeit. Aus der Perspektive einer Ideen- und Organisationsgeschichte der Volksbildung werden die geistesgeschichtlichen Querverbindungen und Interaktionen zum Heimatschutz sowie zur wissenschaftlichen und angewandten Volkskunde nachgezeichnet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die pädagogischen Diskurse und Praktiken einer konservativ-katholischen Volksbildungspolitik. Ihre ländlich-bäuerliche Volksbildungs- und Volkskulturarbeit sollte der Wiederbelebung und damit der Rettung des als deutsch verstandenen Volkstums und der Heimat in Österreich dienen. Vorliegende Arbeit ist damit auch ein Beitrag zur Ideologie- und Identitätsgeschichte der Zwischenkriegszeit. Dabei werden die geistesgeschichtlichen Kontinuitätslinien von den beginnenden 1920er-Jahren zu den 1930er-Jahren und zum Austrofaschismus besonders konturiert.
description: This dissertation makes a contribution to historical adult education research on the period between the two world wars. The interconnections and interactions in the history of thought regarding homeland protection (Heimatschutz) and academic and applied folklore studies are portrayed from the perspective of the history of popular education thought and organizational history. The focus is on the educational dialogues and practices of a conservative, Catholic policy of popular education. Its work on rural popular education and folk culture should serve to revive and thus preserve ethnic German customs and traditions (Volkstum) and the homeland (Heimat) in Austria. This dissertation, therefore, is also a contribution to the history of ideology and identity in the interwar period. Continuities in the history of thought are outlined from the start of the 1920s to the 1930s and Austrofascism in particular.

description: Topological superconductors have long been predicted to host Majorana zero modes which obey non-Abelian statistics and have potential for realizing non-decoherence topological quantum computation. However, material realization of topological superconductors is still a challenge in condensed matter physics. Utilizing high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, we predict and then unveil the coexistence of topological Dirac semimetal and topological insulator states in the vicinity of Fermi energy ($E_F$) in the titanium-based oxypnictide superconductor BaTi$_2$Sb$_2$O. Further spin-resolved measurements confirm its spin-helical surface states around $E_F$, which are topologically protected and give an opportunity for realization of Majorana zero modes and Majorana flat bands in one material. Hosting dual topological superconducting states, the intrinsic superconductor BaTi$_2$Sb$_2$O is expected to be a promising platform for further investigation of topological superconductivity.

description: O objectivo deste artigo é chamar a atenção para o problema da confirmação diagnostica de Fibrose Quística (FQ) nos casos com valores borderline na Prova de Suor e com apresentações ditas "não clássicas". Muitas destas situações são consequência de metodologias inadequadas na execução da Prova de Suor e de valores de referência incorretos.

No Centro Especializado de Fibrose Quística (CEFQ), da Clínica Universitária Pediátrica do Hospital de Santa Maria (HSM), foram excluídos, nos últimos 15 anos, 54 doentes referenciados com hipótese diagnostica de FQ, por provas de suor borderline e sintomatologia possível de FQ. Com base na experiência dos casos clínicos excluídos e com recurso a novos métodos diagnósticos, preconiza-se protocolo para confirmação diagnóstica de FQ, no nosso Centro.

description: Nonlinear metrics, such as the F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient, and Fowlkes-Mallows index, are often used to evaluate the performance of machine learning models, in particular, when facing imbalanced datasets that contain more samples of one class than the other. Recent optimal decision tree algorithms have shown remarkable progress in producing trees that are optimal with respect to linear criteria, such as accuracy, but unfortunately nonlinear metrics remain a challenge. To address this gap, we propose a novel algorithm based on bi-objective optimisation, which treats misclassifications of each binary class as a separate objective. We show that, for a large class of metrics, the optimal tree lies on the Pareto frontier. Consequently, we obtain the optimal tree by using our method to generate the set of all nondominated trees. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method to compute provably optimal decision trees for nonlinear metrics. Our approach leads to a trade-off when compared to optimising linear metrics: the resulting trees may be more desirable according to the given nonlinear metric at the expense of higher runtimes. Nevertheless, the experiments illustrate that runtimes are reasonable for majority of the tested datasets.

description: A biopsia hepática percutânea (BHP) na criança é um meio de diagnóstico essencial na investigação da doença hepática, mas que envolve risco de morbilidade e mortalidade não negligenciáveis.

Novas modalidades inerentes ao procedimento têm vindo a ser propostas, designadamente quanto à própria técnica e quanto ao regime de vigilância pós-biopsia. Apresenta-se a experiência pessoal de BHP no período de 10 anos (1994 - 2003) referente a casuística não associada a transplante hepático (80 biópsias em 77 crianças, idade média 8,3 anos; min. 0.1, max. 16 anos), utilizando uma metodologia standard (agulha Hepafix, técnica de Menghini, regime de internamento de 24 horas), a qual proporcionou tecido suficiente para diagnóstico de doença hepática na população estudada. Verificou-se a ocorrência de complicações hemorrágicas em 2.5 % dos casos (um caso de hemotorax e um caso de hemóperitoneu), uma frequência idêntica à descrita na literatura pediátrica, e ausência de mortalidade.
Comentam-se algumas particularidades técnicas inerentes ao procedimento e salienta-se o interesse da sua realização sempre que possível sob controlo ecográfico.

Morbilidade em Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos

Year: 2014

description: A mortalidade tem sido o principal indicador de gravidade utilizado em cuidados intensivos e o risco mais usado na construção de modelos preditivos. Trata-se, no entanto, de um acontecimento raro em cuidados intensivos e que não permite avaliar em toda a sua extensão as repercussões na criança provocadas pela doença aguda e intemumento em cuidadas intensivos. O estudo da morbilidade é complexo, moroso e dispendioso o que tem dificultado a sua utilização por rotina. As escalas Pediatria Overall Performance Category (POPC) e Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) representam actualmente os únicos instrumentos capazes de medir a morbilidade física e cognitiva a curto prazo validados para utilização em cuidados intensivos pediátricos. Neste trabalho, a utilização das escalas POPC e PCPC permitiu identificar a existência, na altura da admissão, dc algum grau de morbilidade física cm 49% e morbilidade cognitiva em e 24% das crianças. Na altura da alta aqueles valores subiram para 62% e 32% das crianças, respectivamente. No seu conjunto a aplicação destas escalas permitiu identificar um acréscimo de morbilidade física em 20% e de morbilidade cognitiva em 10% das crianças internadas. A incidência de sequelas é maior nas crianças submetidas a um maior número de procedimentos intensivos. Estes dados permitiram confirmar a importância do estudo da morbilidade como complemento da mortalidade na avaliação do impacto da doença grave e internamento cm cuidados intensivos em crianças.

description: The ongoing transition from chemical hazard and risk assessment based on animal studies to assessment relying mostly on non-animal data, requires a multitude of novel experimental methods, and this means that guidance on the validation and standardisation of test methods intended for international applicability and acceptance, needs to be updated. These so-called new approach methodologies (NAMs) must be applicable to the chemical regulatory domain and provide reliable data which are relevant to hazard and risk assessment. Confidence in and use of NAMs will depend on their reliability and relevance, and both are thoroughly assessed by validation. Validation is, however, a time- and resource-demanding process. As updates on validation guidance are conducted, the valuable components must be kept: Reliable data are and will remain fundamental. In 2016, the scientific community was made aware of the general crisis in scientific reproducibility—validated methods must not fall into this. In this commentary, we emphasize the central importance of ring trials in the validation of experimental methods. Ring trials are sometimes considered to be a major hold-up with little value added to the validation. Here, we clarify that ring trials are indispensable to demonstrate the robustness and reproducibility of a new method. Further, that methods do fail in method transfer and ring trials due to different stumbling blocks, but these provide learnings to ensure the robustness of new methods. At the same time, we identify what it would take to perform ring trials more efficiently, and how ring trials fit into the much-needed update to the guidance on the validation of NAMs.

Do Single-cell Experiments Challenge the Concept of Cell Type?
Creators: name: Gross, Fridolin
Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2023

description: Recent debates among biologists have highlighted problems with the traditional concept of cell type, which is considered vague and subjective. Single-cell technologies reveal the limitations of the current concept by exposing a high degree of heterogeneity in cell populations. At the same time, some biologists believe that these technologies provide the basis for a more objective and precise concept of cell type that is not dependent on prior theoretical assumptions. In this paper, I explore the impact that single-cell experiments and analyses will have on the concept of cell type. Drawing on the practices of biologists using these methods, but also on more principled arguments, I argue that the idea of a purely theory-free classification is unlikely to be realized. However, single-cell technology may affect the concept of cell type in more subtle ways.

description: Latin has historically led the state-of-the-art in handwritten optical character recognition (OCR) research. Adapting existing systems from Latin to alpha-syllabary languages is particularly challenging due to a sharp contrast between their orthographies. The segmentation of graphical constituents corresponding to characters becomes significantly hard due to a cursive writing system and frequent use of diacritics in the alpha-syllabary family of languages. We propose a labeling scheme based on graphemes (linguistic segments of word formation) that makes segmentation in-side alpha-syllabary words linear and present the first dataset of Bengali handwritten graphemes that are commonly used in an everyday context. The dataset contains 411k curated samples of 1295 unique commonly used Bengali graphemes. Additionally, the test set contains 900 uncommon Bengali graphemes for out of dictionary performance evaluation. The dataset is open-sourced as a part of a public Handwritten Grapheme Classification Challenge on Kaggle to benchmark vision algorithms for multi-target grapheme classification. The unique graphemes present in this dataset are selected based on commonality in the Google Bengali ASR corpus. From competition proceedings, we see that deep-learning methods can generalize to a large span of out of dictionary graphemes which are absent during training.

description: Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the deadliest infections in humans. Because Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) share genetic similarities with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is often used as a model to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of more severe tuberculosis infection. Caveolin-1 has been implied in many physiological processes and diseases, but it's role in mycobacterial infections has barely been studied. We isolated macrophages from Wildtype or Caveolin-1 deficient mice and analyzed hallmarks of infection, such as internalization, induction of autophagy and apoptosis. For in vivo assays we intravenously injected mice with BCG and investigated tissues for bacterial load with colony-forming unit assays, bioactive lipids with mass spectrometry and changes of protein expressions by Western blotting. Our results revealed that Caveolin-1 was important for early killing of BCG infection in vivo and in vitro, controlled acid sphingomyelinase (Asm)-dependent ceramide formation, apoptosis and inflammatory cytokines upon infection with BCG. In accordance, Caveolin-1 deficient mice and macrophages showed higher bacterial burdens in the livers. The findings indicate that Caveolin-1 plays a role in infection of mice and murine macrophages with BCG, by controlling cellular apoptosis and inflammatory host response. These clues might be useful in the fight against tuberculosis.

description: A super-stable matching, which was introduced by Irving, is a solution concept in a variant of the stable matching problem in which the preferences may contain ties. Irving proposed a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of finding a super-stable matching if a super-stable matching exists. In this paper, we consider a matroid generalization of a super-stable matching. We call our generalization of a super-stable matching a super-stable common independent set. This can be considered as a generalization of the matroid generalization of a stable matching for strict preferences proposed by Fleiner. We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of finding a super-stable common independent set if a super-stable common independent set exists.

description: The literature addressing bias and fairness in AI models (fair-AI) is growing at a fast pace, making it difficult for novel researchers and practitioners to have a bird’s-eye view picture of the field. In particular, many policy initiatives, standards, and best practices in fair-AI have been proposed for setting principles, procedures, and knowledge bases to guide and operationalize the management of bias and fairness. The first objective of this paper is to concisely survey the state-of-the-art of fair-AI methods and resources, and the main policies on bias in AI, with the aim of providing such a bird’s-eye guidance for both researchers and practitioners. The second objective of the paper is to contribute to the policy advice and best practices state-of-the-art by leveraging from the results of the NoBIAS research project. We present and discuss a few relevant topics organized around the NoBIAS architecture, which is made up of a Legal Layer, focusing on the European Union context, and a Bias Management Layer, focusing on understanding, mitigating, and accounting for bias.

description: The Philippine Islands claim particular attention and interest. She stands in the centre of conflicting opinions, American as well as Philippine American. This political controversy began instantly with the first American steps in the Islands, it has continued during the whole period, and steady Filipine demands and American resolutions and bills brought into Congress lead one to suppose that the climax now has been reached.

title: Einfluss von Bewegung und Sport auf ausgewählte kognitive Fähigkeiten: aktuelle Erkenntnisse am Beispiel einer empirischen Untersuchung im Setting Schule
Creators: name: Altermann, Wolfgang
Year: 2017

description: Nicht immer waren sich Experten und Expertinnen im Laufe der Geschichte über die Funktion des Gehirns einig. Durch die intensive Beforschung und Entwicklung modernster Technologien – vor allem in den letzten Jahrzehnten – wurden viele Prozesse und Zusammenhänge offengelegt, neue Fachdisziplinen wie die kognitiven Neurowissenschaften hatten ihre Daseinsberechtigung. So zeigten unter anderem viele Studien eine förderliche Auswirkung von Sport auf die Entwicklung, Steigerung sowie Aufrechterhaltung der mentalen Leistungsfähigkeiten. Nicht umsonst gilt körperliche Aktivität als eine der primären Präventionsmaßnahmen gegen Demenz-Erkrankungen nicht nur im hohen Alter. Doch nicht jede Bewegungsart scheint den gleichen Effekt zu haben. Sahen einige Autoren und Autorinnen einen Einfluss von kurzen aeroben Trainingseinheiten auf geistige Fertigkeiten wie die Konzentrationsleistung, so konnte in anderen Publikationen kein identischer Zusammenhang, dafür die Bedeutsamkeit des körperlichen Fitnesszustandes in Hinblick auf die Steigerung kognitiver Leistungsparameter festgestellt werden. Auch andere Aspekte wie die Lebensjahre, der sportliche Background, die erbliche Disposition sowie das Gesundheits- und Ernährungsprofil scheinen die Funktionstüchtigkeit des Gehirns zum Teil erheblich zu beeinflussen und werden größtenteils näher erläutert. Durch den wissenschaftlichen Beitrag soll die Entwicklung der menschlichen „Schalt- und Kontrollzentrale“ über die verschiedenen Lebensabschnitte hinweg beleuchtet werden. Anhand unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse werden gezielt neurodidaktische Empfehlungen zum Arrangieren von möglichst optimalen Lehr- und Lernprozessen in der Schule abgeleitet. Die theoretischen Überlegungen werden durch eine Sammlung praktischer Bewegungsinterventionen ergänzt, durch die sich verschiedene mentale Vorgänge gezielt optimieren lassen. Um eindeutigere Erkenntnisse über die Bewegungsart und deren individuellen Einfluss auf ausgewählte kognitive Leistungsfähigkeiten zu generieren, erfolgt eine empirisch-quantitative Untersuchung im Setting Schule. Dabei wird die Konzentrationsleistung von Kindern im Alter zwischen zehn und 14 Jahren vor sowie unmittelbar nach einer kurzen Trainingsintervention mithilfe des d2-R-Leistungstests überprüft und durch den Gebrauch von SPSS statistisch ausgewertet. Die Besonderheit liegt dabei an der Art der 10minütigen Aufgabenstellung, die – je nach Gruppe – aus konditionellen, koordinativen oder sprachbezogene Elementen bestehen.

description: Image registration has been widely studied over the past several decades, with numerous applications in science, engineering and medicine. Most of the conventional mathematical models for large deformation image registration rely on prescribed landmarks, which usually require tedious manual labeling and are prone to error. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the use of machine learning for image registration. In this paper, we develop a novel method for large deformation image registration by a fusion of quasiconformal theory and convolutional neural network (CNN). More specifically, we propose a quasiconformal energy model with a novel fidelity term that incorporates the features extracted using a pre-trained CNN, thereby allowing us to obtain meaningful registration results without any guidance of prescribed landmarks. Moreover, unlike many prior image registration methods, the bijectivity of our method is guaranteed by quasiconformal theory. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. More broadly, our work sheds light on how rigorous mathematical theories and practical machine learning approaches can be integrated for developing computational methods with improved performance.
Spatio-temporal spread of perturbations in power-law models at low temperatures: Exact results for OTOC

description: We present exact results for the classical version of the Out-of-Time-Order Commutator (OTOC) for a family of power-law models consisting of $N$ particles in one dimension and confined by an external harmonic potential. These particles are interacting via power-law interaction of the form $\propto \sum_{\substack{i, j=1 (i\neq j)}}^N|x_i-x_j|^{-k}$ $\forall$ $k>1$ where $x_i$ is the position of the $i^\text{th}$ particle. We present numerical results for the OTOC for finite $N$ at low temperatures and short enough times so that the system is well approximated by the linearized dynamics around the many body ground state. In the large-$N$ limit, we compute the ground-state dispersion relation in the absence of external harmonic potential exactly and use it to arrive at analytical results for OTOC. We find excellent agreement between our analytical results and the numerics. We further obtain analytical results in the limit where only linear and leading nonlinear (in momentum) terms in the dispersion relation are included. The resulting OTOC is in agreement with numerics in the vicinity of the edge of the "light cone". We find remarkably distinct features in OTOC below and above $k=3$ in terms of going from non-Airy behaviour ($13$). We present certain additional rich features for the case $k=2$ that stem from the underlying integrability of the Calogero-Moser model. We present a field theory approach that also assists in understanding certain aspects of OTOC such as the sound speed. Our findings are a step forward towards a more general understanding of the spatio-temporal spread of perturbations in long-range interacting systems.

title: Populismus in Österreich und Amerika: ein Vergleich
Creators: name: Stank, Amanda Maria
Year: 2017

description: Aufgrund vergangener Wahlen in Europa sowie auch den USA gewinnt das Thema Rechtspopulismus an Relevanz. Die Popularität populistischer Politiker steigt und somit auch die Forschungen zu dieser Thematik. Im Zuge der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde anhand einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse die Wahlkampfkommunikation Donald Trumps sowie Norbert Hofers analysiert. Gegenstand der Analyse waren alle geführten TV – Duelle die vor der Präsidentschaftswahl 2016 in den USA sowie vor der Bundespräsidentschaftswahl 2016 in Österreich aufgezeichnet wurden. Diese wurden auf typische Merkmale des Populismus untersucht, auf typisch populistische Rhetorik, populistische Taktiken sowie Emotionalität. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Donald Trump signifikant mehr populistische Merkmale erfüllt als Norbert Hofer. Besonders die Rhetorik zeigt hier einen äußerst großen Unterschied bei den beiden Politikern. Grundsätzlich lassen sich anhand der Ergebnisse beide Politiker als Populisten einordnen, wobei die besprochenen Themen typisch populistischen Merkmalen bei beiden politischen Akteuren wiedersprechen. Für zukünftige Forschungen wird eine erweiterte Analyse des Wahlkampfes empfohlen, die über Moderator geführte TV- Duelle hinausgeht und andere Formen der Kommunikation des Politikers mit den Wähler/innen abdeckt.
description: As of current poll results all over Europe and USA the topic populism is regaining relevance. Populist politician’s populairty is on the rise, as is scientific research on the topic. In this thesis Donald Trumps as well as Norbert Hofers commnunication during the pre election phase has been analysed in the course of a quantitative content analysis. The content for the analysis were all TV – debates in the course of the presidential election 2016 in USA and Austria. The debates were analysed by typical populist characteristics, populist communication as well as by use of emotions. Results show Donald Trump being significantly more of a populist than Norbert Hofer is. Especially when it comes to rhetorical characteristics, a huge difference can be found. According to this thesis, both politicians can be classified as populists, even though discussed topics differ from common definitions. For future research I would recommend to analyse the whole pre election campaign including every form of political communication which is not guided by a TV host.

description: This paper proposes a deep learning approach to channel sensing and downlink hybrid beamforming for massive multiple-input multiple-output systems operating in the time division duplex mode and employing either single-carrier or multicarrier transmission. The conventional precoding design involves a two-step process of first estimating the high-dimensional channel, then designing the precoders based on such estimate. This two-step process is, however, not necessarily optimal. This paper shows that by using a learning approach to design the analog sensing and the hybrid downlink precoders directly from the received pilots without the intermediate high-dimensional channel estimation, the overall system performance can be significantly improved. Training a neural network to design the analog and digital precoders simultaneously is, however, difficult. Further, such an approach is not generalizable to systems with different number of users. In this paper, we develop a simplified and generalizable approach that learns the uplink sensing matrix and downlink analog precoder using a deep neural network that decomposes on a per-user basis, then designs the digital precoder based on the estimated low-dimensional equivalent channel. Numerical comparisons show that the proposed methodology results in significantly less training overhead and leads to an architecture that generalizes to various system settings.
