description: Coronal holes are regions on the Sun's surface that map the foot-prints of open magnetic field lines. We have developed an automated routine to detect and track boundaries of long-lived coronal holes using full-disk EUV images obtained by SoHO:EIT, SDO:AIA, and STEREO:EUVI. We measure coronal hole areas and magnetic flux in these holes, and compare the measurements with calculations by the PFSS model. It is shown that, from 1996 through 2010, the total area of coronal holes measured with EIT images varies between 5$\%$ and 17$\%$ of the total solar surface area, and the total unsigned open flux varies between $2-5 \times 10^{22}$ Mx. The solar cycle dependence of these measurements are similar to the PFSS results, but the model yields larger hole areas and greater open flux than observed by EIT. The AIA/EUVI measurements from 2010-2013 show coronal hole area coverage of 5-10$\%$ of the total surface area, with significant contribution from low latitudes, which is under-represented by EIT. AIA/EUVI have measured much enhanced open magnetic flux in the range of $2-4 \times 10^{22}$ Mx, which is about twice the flux measured by EIT, and matches with the PFSS calculated open flux, with discrepancies in the location and strength of coronal holes. A detailed comparison between the three measurements (by EIT, AIA-EUVI, and PFSS) indicates that coronal holes in low latitudes contribute significantly to the total open magnetic flux. These low-latitude coronal holes are not well measured with either the He I 10830 line in previous studies, or EIT EUV images; neither are they well captured by the static PFSS model. The enhanced observations from AIA/EUVI allow a more accurate measure of these low latitude coronal holes, and their contribution to open magnetic flux.

description: Body maps are commonly used to capture the location of a patient's pain and thus reflect the extent of pain throughout the body. With increasing electronic capture body map information, there is an emerging need for clinic- and research-ready tools capable of visualizing this data on individual and mass scales. Here we propose CHOIRBM, an extensible and modular R package and companion web application built on the grammar of graphics system. CHOIRBM provides functions that simplify the process of analyzing and plotting patient body map data integrated from the CHOIR Body Map (CBM) at both individual patient and large-dataset levels. CHOIRBM is built on the popular R graphics package, ggplot2, which facilitates further development and addition of functionality by the open-source development community as future requirements arise. The CHOIRBM package is distributed under the terms of the MIT license and is available on CRAN. The development version of the package with the latest functions may be installed from GitHub. Example analysis using CHOIRBM demonstrates the functionality of the modular R package and highlights both the clinical and research utility of efficiently producing CBM visualizations.

description: 130Te is one of the candidates for the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. It is currently planned to be used in two experiments: CUORE and SNO+. In the CUORE experiment TeO2 crystals cooled at cryogenic temperatures will be used. In the SNO+ experiment natTe will be deployed up to 0.3% loading in the liquid scintillator volume. A possible background for the signal searched for, are the high Q-value, long-lived isotopes, produced by cosmogenic neutron and proton spallation reaction on the target material. A total of 18 isotopes with Q-value larger than 2 MeV and T1/2 >20 days have been identified as potential backgrounds. In addition low Q-value, high rate isotopes can be problematic due to pile-up effects, specially in liquid scintillator based detectors. Production rates have been calculated using the ACTIVIA program, the TENDL library, and the cosmogenic neutron and proton flux parametrization at sea level from Armstrong and Gehrels for both long and short lived isotopes. The obtained values for the cross sections are compared with the existing experimental data and calculations. Good agreement has been generally found. The results have been applied to the SNO+ experiment for one year of exposure at sea level. Two possible cases have been considered: a two years of cooling down period deep underground, or a first purification on surface and 6 months of cooling down deep underground. Deep underground activation at the SNOLAB location has been considered.

description: Der innerklinische Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand stellt für Akteur:innen des therapeutischen Teams eine Ausnahmesituation dar, in der schnelles und adäquates Handeln als Maxime gesehen werden kann. Aufbauend auf Ausbildungsinhalte der verschiedenen Fachberufe des Gesundheitswesens werden akkreditierte Reanimationstrainings von nationalen Räten der Reanimation angeboten, die insbesondere für professionelle Helfer:innen in Reanimationsteams relevant sind. Neben der Fragestellung, ob mit der regelmäßigen Teilnahme an diesen Reanimationstrainings das Überleben von Patient:innen positiv beeinflusst wird, wird sich gefragt, ob aus dieser reduzierten Sichtweise generell die Teilnahme an den Trainings empfohlen werden kann. In der Annahme, dass die Fähigkeiten für eine hochwertige Reanimation vergessen werden, wenn diese nicht regelmäßig wiederholt werden, wird zunächst der theoretische Hintergrund zum Verlernen und Transfer gelernter deklarativer und nicht-deklarativer Bestände in die Praxis aufgezeigt. Im Anschluss werden nach erfolgter systematischer Literaturrecherche Studienergebnisse, die einen Zusammenhang zwischen Reanimationstrainings und Überleben von Patient:innen erforschten, aufgezeigt. Dazu werden drei einzelne Kohortenstudien aus einem Review detektiert und miteinander verglichen. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass es signifikante Verbesserungen des kurzzeitigen, sowie des langzeitigen Überlebens von Patient:innen nach der Reanimation von Akteur:innen, die einen akkreditierten Reanimationskurs absolvierten, gab. Eine signifikante Verbesserung des Überlebens bis zur Krankenhausentlassung kann nicht gezeigt werden. Alle verwendeten Studien haben einen niedrigen Evidenzgrad, weshalb in Anbetracht des theoretischen Hintergrundes hinterfragt wird, ob ausschließlich das Absolvieren eines regelmäßigen Reanimationskurses, die Verbesserungen des Überlebens erklären können. Kritisch wird angemerkt, dass die Reduktion auf die Teilnahme akkreditierter Kurse keine zufriedenstellende Erklärung geben kann, wenn diese nicht kritisch vor dem pädagogischen Hintergrund untersucht wird. Schließlich werden Perspektiven aufzeigt, die das Lernen der professionellen Helfer:innen genauer analysieren und damit Erklärungen dazu geben können, wie deklarative und nicht-deklarative Bestände professioneller Helfer:innen nachhaltig gefestigt und damit konsekutiv das Überleben von Patient:innen nach einem Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand verbessert werden könnten.

description: In the literature of the study of knot group epimorphisms, the existence of an epimorphism between two given knot groups is mostly (if not always) shown by giving an epimorphism which preserves meridians. A natural question arises: is there an epimorphism preserving meridians whenever a knot group is a homomorphic image of another? We answer in the negative by presenting infinitely many pairs of prime knot groups (G,G') such that G' is a homomorphic image of G but no epimorphism of G onto G' preserves meridians.

description: The potential for Lotus pedunculatus is greatest in acid soils on hill and high country, but requires establishment success, nutrient supply and grazing management. This work investigated the role of sulphur fertiliser and the influence of defoliation regime on production of Lotus in low pH, high aluminium soils. Yields measured in year one were positively related to soil sulphate but not phosphorus. Sulphur, applied at two sites (low or high productivity) at 0, 24 or 78 kg S/ha, failed to alter yield over three years. The site, at 1000 m a.s.l., had base vegetation of unimproved tussock, low soil pH and P (4.8 and 7 respectively) and high Al (30-40 ppm). Yields ranged between 1900 and 3200 kg DM/ha/annum and was reduced when initial plant numbers were lower. Lotus contributed 65- 85% of the herbage for grazing (excluding tussocks). Yields were maximised by defoliation to 2 cm height each season or once in autumn. Establishing high plant numbers increased productivity. Single, late season grazing promoted rhizome development and resulted in the highest yields by year 3. Grazing to 2 or 5 cm residual once a season produced similar herbage, but lower rhizome development.

description: Athletic performance data are modeled in an effort to better understand the relationship between both hours spent training and a measurement of “commitment” to that training, and improvements in performance. Both increased training time and greater commitment were predicted to produce larger increases in performance improvement, and commitment was predicted to be the more important determinant of improvement. The performance of 108 soccer players (ages 9–18) was quantified over a 10-week training program. Hours spent training ranged from 16 to 90 during the course of the study, while commitment scores ranged from 0.55 to 2.00, based on a scale from 0.00 to 2.40. A model selection approach was used to discriminate among models specifying relationships between training hours and improvement, and commitment and improvement. Despite considerable variability in the data, results provided strong evidence for an increase in performance improvement with both training hours and commitment score. The best models for hours and commitment were directly compared by computing an evidence ratio of 5799, indicating much stronger evidence favoring the model based on commitment. Results of analyses such as these go beyond anecdotal experience in an effort to establish a formal evidentiary basis for athletic training programs.

description: We analyzed four Spitzer/IRAC observations at 3.6 and 4.5 μm of the primary transit of the exoplanet GJ436b, by using blind source separation techniques. These observations are important to investigate the atmospheric composition of the planet GJ436b. Previous analyses claimed strong inter-epoch variations of the transit parameters due to stellar variability, casting doubts on the possibility to extract conclusively an atmospheric signal; those analyses also reported discrepant results, hence the necessity of this reanalysis. The method we used has been proposed in Morello et al. (2014) to analyze 3.6 μm transit light-curves of the hot Jupiter HD189733b; it performes an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on a set of pixel-light-curves, i.e. time series read by individual pixels, from the same photometric observation. Our method only assumes the independence of instrumental and astrophysical signals, and therefore guarantees a higher degree of objectivity compared to parametric detrending techniques published in the literature. The datasets we analyzed in this paper represent a more challenging test compared to the previous ones. Contrary to previous results reported in the literature, our results (1) do not support any detectable inter-epoch variations of orbital and stellar parameters, (2) are photometrically stable at the level 10e-4 in the IR, and (3) the transit depth measurements at the two wavelengths are consistent within 1σ. We also (4) detect a possible transit duration variation (TDV) of 80 s (2 σ significance level), that has not been pointed out in the literature, and (5) confirm no transit timing variations (TTVs) >30 s.

description: Alphaproteobacteria commonly produce an adhesin that is anchored to the exterior of the envelope at one cell pole. In Caulobacter crescentus this adhesin, known as the holdfast, facilitates attachment to solid surfaces and cell partitioning to air-liquid interfaces. An ensemble of two-component signal transduction (TCS) proteins controls C. crescentus holdfast biogenesis by indirectly regulating expression of HfiA, a potent inhibitor of holdfast synthesis. We performed a genetic selection to discover direct hfiA regulators that function downstream of the adhesion TCS system and identified rtrC, a hypothetical gene. rtrC transcription is directly activated by the adhesion TCS regulator, SpdR. Though its primary structure bears no resemblance to any defined protein family, RtrC binds and regulates dozens of sites on the C. crescentus chromosome via a pseudo-palindromic sequence. Among these binding sites is the hfiA promoter, where RtrC functions to directly repress transcription and thereby activate holdfast development. Either RtrC or SpdR can directly activate transcription of a second hfiA repressor, rtrB. Thus, environmental regulation of hfiA transcription by the adhesion TCS system is subject to control by an OR-gated type I coherent feedforward loop; these regulatory motifs are known to buffer gene expression against fluctuations in regulating signals. We have further assessed the functional role of rtrC in holdfast-dependent processes, including surface adherence to a cellulosic substrate and formation of pellicle biofilms at air-liquid interfaces. Strains harboring insertional mutations in rtrC have a diminished adhesion profile in a competitive cheesecloth binding assay and a reduced capacity to colonize pellicle biofilms in select media conditions. Our results add to an emerging understanding of the regulatory topology and molecular components of a complex bacterial cell adhesion control system.

description: In this article we present a simple repeater scheme based on the negatively-charged nitrogen vacancy centre in diamond (NV-). Each repeater node is built from simple modules comprising an optical cavity containing a single NV-, with one nuclear spin from 15N as quantum memory. The operation in the module only uses deterministic processes and interactions and achieves high fidelity (>99%) operation, and modules are connected by optical fiber. In the repeater node architecture, the processes between modules by photons can be in principle deterministic, however current limitations on optical components lead to the processes to be probabilistic but heralded. The most resource modest repeater architecture contains at least two modules at each node, and the repeater nodes are than connected by telecom wavelength entangled photon pairs. We discuss the performance of quantum repeaters starting from the minimum-resource strategy with several modules (~10) and then incorporating more resource-intense strategies step by step. Our architecture enables large-scale quantum information networks with existing technology.

description: We analyze the design of a potential replacement technology for the commercial ferrite circulators that are ubiquitous in contemporary quantum superconducting microwave experiments. The lossless, lumped element design is capable of being integrated on chip with other superconducting microwave devices, thus circumventing the many performance-limiting aspects of ferrite circulators. The design is based on the dynamic modulation of DC superconducting microwave quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) that function as nearly linear, tunable inductors. The connection to familiar ferrite-based circulators is a simple frame boost in the internal dynamics' equation of motion. In addition to the general, schematic analysis, we also give an overview of many considerations necessary to achieve a practical design with a tunable center frequency in the 4-8 GHz frequency band, a bandwidth of 240 MHz, reflections at the -20 dB level, and a maximum signal power of approximately order 100 microwave photons per inverse bandwidth.

description: Biophotovoltaics has emerged as a promising technology for generating renewable energy since it relies on living organisms as inexpensive, self-repairing and readily available catalysts to produce electricity from an abundant resource - sunlight. The efficiency of biophotovoltaic cells, however, has remained significantly lower than that achievable through synthetic materials. Here, we devise a platform to harness the large power densities afforded by miniaturised geometries. To this effect, we have developed a soft-lithography approach for the fabrication of microfluidic biophotovoltaic devices that do not require membranes or mediators. Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells were injected and allowed to settle on the anode, permitting the physical proximity between cells and electrode required for mediator-free operation. We demonstrate power densities of above 100 mW/m2 for a chlorophyll concentration of 100 μM under white light, a high value for biophotovoltaic devices without extrinsic supply of additional energy.

description: We discuss the nonlocality of the $W$ and the Dicke states subject to losses. We consider two noise models, namely loss of excitations and loss of particles, and investigate how much loss can be tolerated such that the final state remains nonlocal. This leads to a measure of robustness of the nonlocality of Dicke states, with a clear physical interpretation. Our results suggest that the relation between nonlocality and entanglement of Dicke states is not monotonous.

description: Diese Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, wie aktuell tätige Schweizer Psychomotoriktherapeutinnen die Relevanz des Einbezugs der Familie von Therapiekindern innerhalb der verschiedenen Förderbereiche beurteilen und wie häufig sie die Familie in ihrer Praxis tatsächlich einbeziehen. Es wird zudem untersucht, ob ein Zusammenhang zwischen ihrer Wirksamkeitsüberzeugung und dem Anteil familieneinbeziehenden Arbeitens in ihrer Praxis besteht. Des Weiteren gibt die Arbeit Aufschluss über die angewendeten Formen der Elternarbeit in der Psychomotoriktherapie. Als Basis zur Herleitung der Forschungsfragen und der Hypothese werden im Theorieteil der aktuelle Forschungsstand zur Familie in der Psychomotorik abgebildet und der Fachdiskurs zu dessen Grenzen, Chancen und Wirksamkeit dargelegt. Als Erhebungsinstrument zur Beantwortung des Untersuchungsgegenstandes diente ein Fragebogen, welcher anhand deskriptiver und schliessender Statistik ausgewertet wurde. Zusammenfassend lässt sich darlegen, dass sich die Ergebnisse in Bezug auf die Wirksamkeitsüberzeugung, Meinung bezüglich der Nachhaltigkeit und möglicher Verkürzung der Therapiedauer ausnahmslos für den Einbezug der Familie in die Psychomotoriktherapie aussprechen und so mit diverser Fachliteratur übereinstimmen. Zwischen Überzeugung und Praxis konnte nur im Förderbereich «Sozialer Bereich» eine signifikante Korrelation festgestellt werden, p= O.001. Alle anderen Förderbereiche korrelierten diesbezüglich nicht.

description: Relatively little work has evaluated both the disease of osteoarthritis (OA) and clinically-relevant pain outcome measures across different OA models in rats. The objective of this study was to compare sensitivity, pain, and histological disease severity across chemical and surgical models of OA in the rat. Stifle OA was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats via intraarticular injection of monoiodoacetate (MIA) or surgical transection of anterior cruciate ligament and/or destabilization of medial meniscus (ACL+DMM or DMM alone). Reflexive (e.g., mechanical and thermal stimuli) measures of sensitivity and non-reflexive assays (e.g., lameness, static hindlimb weight-bearing asymmetry, dynamic gait analysis) of pain were measured over time. Joint degeneration was assessed histologically. Six-weeks post OA-induction, the ACL+DMM animals had significantly greater visually observed lameness than MIA animals; however, both ACL+DMM and MIA animals showed equal pain as measured by limb use during ambulation and standing. The MIA animals showed increased thermal, but not mechanical, sensitivity compared to ACL+DMM animals. Joint degeneration was significantly more severe in the MIA model at 6 weeks. Our pilot data suggest both the ACL+DMM and MIA models are equal in terms of clinically relevant pain behaviors, but the MIA model is associated with more severe histological changes over time potentially making it more suitable for screening disease modifying agents. Future work should further characterize each model in terms of complex pain behaviors and biochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis of the sensory system and joint tissues, which will allow for more informed decisions associated with model selection and investigative outcomes.

description: We describe how the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique can be used to compute the quasinormal mode (QNM) for metallic nano-resonators, which is important for describing and understanding light-matter interactions in nanoplasmonics. We use the QNM to model the enhanced spontaneous emission rate for dipole emitters near a gold nanorod dimer structure using a newly developed QNM expansion technique. Significant enhanced photon emission factors of around 1500 are obtained with large output $β$-factors of about $60\%$.

description: Does the brain activity underlying the production of deception differ depending on whether or not one believes their deception can be detected? To address this question, we had participants commit a mock theft in a laboratory setting, and then interrogated them while they underwent functional MRI (fMRI) scanning. Crucially, during some parts of the interrogation participants believed a lie detector was activated, whereas in other parts they were told it was switched off. We were thus able to examine the neural activity associated with the contrast between producing true versus false claims, as well as the independent contrast between believing that deception could and could not be detected. We found increased activation in the right amygdala and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), as well as the left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), during the production of false (compared to true) claims. Importantly, there was a significant interaction between the effects of deception and belief in the left temporal pole and right hippocampus/parahippocampal gyrus, where activity increased during the production of deception when participants believed their false claims could be detected, but not when they believed the lie detector was switched off. As these regions are associated with binding socially complex perceptual input and memory retrieval, we conclude that producing deceptive behavior in a context in which one believes this deception can be detected is associated with a cognitively taxing effort to reconcile contradictions between one's actions and recollections. © 2013 Sip, Carmel, Marchant, Li, Petrovic, Roepstorff, Mcgregor and Frith.
title: Phonemwandel im gesprochenen Standard. Dynamik des /ɛː/-Phonems im Deutschen

description: Sprache ist stetigem Wandel unterworfen. Als Teil dieser Dynamik scheint sich gegenwärtig ein „Lautwandel [...] vor unseren Ohren“ (Grosse 1957, 181) zu vollziehen, der im Abbau der Distinktion zwischen /eː/ und /ɛː/ im Standarddeutschen besteht. Hinweise auf diesen Prozess finden sich beispielsweise bei Schmidt / Herrgen (2011, 365), die ihn nicht nur als rezent herausstellen, sondern zudem die inhärente Raumdimension konkretisieren, wenn sie auf den „sich aktuell von Norden nach Süden ausbreitende[n] Phonemzusammenfall von standardsprachlich /ɛː/ und /eː/ ([beːʀən] ‘Bären’ und ‘Beeren’)“ verweisen. Ungewiss bleibt hierbei jedoch zunächst, ob es sich wirklich um den Nachweis eines Wandelphänomens handelt. Diatopische Variation ist schließlich nicht zwingend der Nachweis eines change in progress. Vor allem die in der Fachliteratur oft vertretene Auffassung, das standardsprachliche /ɛː/-Phonem gehe lediglich auf die Schreibung mit < ä > zurück, wirft die Frage danach auf, ob die kodifizierte Distribution von /eː/ und /ɛː/ in der Sprachrealität der Sprecher jemals Bestand hatte. Um die genannten Hinweise auf einen möglichen Lautwandel vor dem Hintergrund der lauthistorischen Genese der e-Laute kontextualisieren und klassifizieren zu können, wird in der Arbeit ein diachronischer Ansatz gewählt, bei dem die Entwicklung der deutschen e-Laute ausgehend von der voralthochdeutschen Zeit bis zu den rezenten Veränderungen nachgezeichnet wird. Dabei gelingt es, den Beginn des beschriebenen Wandelphänomens im landschaftlichen Hochdeutsch auszumachen. Am Ende der Arbeit steht die Beantwortung der Frage danach, inwiefern die rezenten Abbautendenzen des /ɛː/-Phonems auf dessen historische, gegebenenfalls von der Graphie geprägte Entstehung zurückzuführen sind.
description: There seems to be a recent phonemic change in the German standard language that concerns the distinction between /eː/ and /ɛː/. This merger, that makes ‘Bären’ and ‘Beeren’ occur as a homonym [beːʀən], is supposed to develop from north to south. But even if there is any regional variation, this is no certain evidence for a change in progress. The phoneme /ɛː/ is often considered to be a so-called spelling pronunciation. Therefore, it is questionable whether the standard distinction between /eː/ and /ɛː/ ever existed in the pronunciation of most German speakers. In order to classify this possible sound change and to show its context, this book concentrates on the historical development of the German e-sounds. This diachronic analysis starts with the time before the Old High German and ends up with the recent changes. It will be possible to determine the landschaftliches Hochdeutsch as the starting point of the recent merger. Finally, a possible interdependence between the recent reduction of the phoneme /ɛː/ and the complexity of its historical development will be tested.

description: $Background$: The $α$-cluster model was successful for describing spectroscopic properties of light nuclei near the shell closures. Evidences of the $α$-cluster structure in $^{94}$Mo were shown, motivating the search for the same structure in other intermediate mass nuclei. $Purpose$: The systematic analysis of the $α$-cluster structure in $^{94}$Mo and four even-even neighbouring nuclei. $Method$: The $α$-cluster model with the local potential approach. $Results$: A good general description of the experimental ground state bands is obtained with only one variable parameter. It is shown that the employed $α+\textrm{core}$ potential is weakly dependent on the angular momentum $L$ and such dependence may be described satisfactorily by a simple $L$-dependent factor for the five nuclei. The radial parameter of the $α+\textrm{core}$ potential reveals a linear trend in relation to the total nuclear radius and the sum of the $α$-cluster and core radii. The calculated $B(E2)$ transition rates reproduce correctly the order of magnitude of almost all experimental data without the use of effective charges. The rms intercluster separations and reduced $α$-widths obtained for the ground state bands point to a reduction of the $α$-cluster intensity with the increasing spin. Negative parity bands are calculated and compared to available experimental levels. The volume integral per nucleon pair and rms radii were calculated for the studied $α+\textrm{core}$ potentials, revealing a similarity with the real parts of the optical potentials used to describe the $α+ ^{90}$Zr and $α+ ^{92}$Mo elastic scattering at several energies. $Conclusions$: This work strongly indicates the presence of similar $α+\textrm{core}$ structures for the $N=52$ even-even nuclei of the Mo region.

description: Die Psychomotoriktherapie hat immer wieder mit Kindern zu tun, welche fremdplatziert werden. Die Folgen des damit zusammenhängenden Traumas zeigen sich zum Beispiel in unangepasstem Verhalten oder in Schwierigkeiten der Körperwahrnehmung oder der Konzentration. Solche Symptome gehören zu den Gründen, warum ein Kind für die Psychomotoriktherapie angemeldet wird. Trotzdem wird in der Ausbildung zum*r Psychomotoriktherapeuten*in die Thematik des Traumas nur gestreift. Mit dieser Arbeit wird Psychomotoriktherapeuten*innen, welche mit dem Thema in Kontakt kommen, ein Mittel an die Hand gegeben, welches ihnen als Anker für die Thematik dienen und in der Praxis den Umgang mit betroffenen Kindern unterstützen kann. Um die Verbindung zur Psychomotorik zu gewährleisten, behandelt die Arbeit körperzentrierte Ansätze der Traumaverarbeitung. Auf die Praxis bezogen bildet ein Interventionskatalog die Verbindung zwischen Psychomotorik, Traumatheorie und Bilderbuch. Um das Verständnis der Vorgestellten Ansätze zu gewährleisten und Psychomotoriktherapeuten*innen Sicherheit in der Praxis zu geben, wird mit den Grundlagen zur Traumapädagogik begonnen und erklärt, was Fremdplatzierung überhaupt ist. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Produktarbeit mit dem Ziel der Erstellung und der theoretischen Verankerung des Bilderbuches und des Interventionskataloges. Sie kann Grundlage für Folgearbeiten zur empirischen Evaluation des Bilderbuches und der Interventionen sein.

description: Neuroleptic-induced akathisia is a side effect of such medication antidepressants (especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), antipsychotics, and some antiepileptics (such as the gabapentin), which affects the frontal cortex of the brain and the limbic system, leading to complications in the patient's reasoning and emotional state, limiting their ability to make timely decisions. This occurs because the patient experiences psychomotor restlessness, which compels them to perform unusual or erratic movements.The main treatment for neuroleptic-induced akathisia involves inhibiting it through a direct effect on the central nervous system, which can alleviate the signs and symptoms. Beta-blockers and anticholinergic drugs are some suitable medications for treating akathisia.The action of these medications may control the exaggerated movements exhibited by the patient.

description: It is widely believed that the swimming speed, $v$, of many flagellated bacteria is a non-monotonic function of the concentration, $c$, of high-molecular-weight linear polymers in aqueous solution, showing peaked $v(c)$ curves. Pores in the polymer solution were suggested as the explanation. Quantifying this picture led to a theory that predicted peaked $v(c)$ curves. Using new, high-throughput methods for characterising motility, we have measured $v$, and the angular frequency of cell-body rotation, $Ω$, of motile Escherichia coli as a function of polymer concentration in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Ficoll solutions of different molecular weights. We find that non-monotonic $v(c)$ curves are typically due to low-molecular weight impurities. After purification by dialysis, the measured $v(c)$ and $Ω(c)$ relations for all but the highest molecular weight PVP can be described in detail by Newtonian hydrodynamics. There is clear evidence for non-Newtonian effects in the highest molecular weight PVP solution. Calculations suggest that this is due to the fast-rotating flagella `seeing' a lower viscosity than the cell body, so that flagella can be seen as nano-rheometers for probing the non-Newtonian behavior of high polymer solutions on a molecular scale.

description: We consider a decision-making problem to evaluate absolute ratings of alternatives that are compared in pairs according to two criteria, subject to box constraints on the ratings. The problem is formulated as the log-Chebyshev approximation of two pairwise comparison matrices by a common consistent matrix (a symmetrically reciprocal matrix of unit rank), to minimize the approximation errors for both matrices simultaneously. We rearrange the approximation problem as a constrained bi-objective optimization problem of finding a vector that determines the approximating consistent matrix, and then represent the problem in terms of tropical algebra. We apply methods and results of tropical optimization to derive an analytical solution of the constrained problem. The solution consists in introducing two new variables that describe the values of the objective functions and allow reducing the problem to the solution of a system of parameterized inequalities constructed for the unknown vector, where the new variables play the role of parameters. We exploit the existence condition for solutions of the system to derive those values of the parameters that belong to the Pareto front inherent to the problem. Then, we solve the system for the unknown vector and take all solutions that correspond to the Pareto front, as a complete solution of the bi-objective problem. We apply the result obtained to the bi-criteria decision problem under consideration and present illustrative examples.
