description: Using a mixed methods approach that included quality assessments, a mystery client study and qualitative research, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests and in the private sector in 12 health centre catchment areas across Cambodia. In summary, we found that the RDTs collected from drug shops had maintained good quality and that storage and transport conditions were on the whole satisfactory. Uptake of RDTs appeared to highest in the most highly trained providers i.e. “cabinets”, and lowest in grocery shops, with pharmacies and drugs shops having some ambiguity around their role. Findings from the focus group discussions and the mystery client study suggest that some of the problems in uptake and interpretation relate to RDTs being on the margins of practice for these providers who see themselves as either providing a diagnosis and cure (pinit pchier bal) or simply selling drugs for symptomatic relief (lout tnam). Several problems with RDTs were identified in terms of their actual use, in particular relating to interpretation of results, blood safety, and problems related to the buffer and the blood collecting device. In summary this study provides a comprehensive assessment of malaria RDTs in one of the first countries to implement them in the private sector.

description: Most cosmological models of inflation are far away from providing a smoking gun at low energies. A model of Higgs inflation in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, however, changes the NMSSM phenomenology drastically and may be well distinguished from the pure NMSSM or MSSM at a future Linear Collider. We point out certain differences of the inflationary model to the ordinary NMSSM and discuss the Higgs and neutralino/chargino sector in particular to identify the smoking gun of inflation at electroweak energies.

Exploring deep learning as an event classification method for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

description: Telescopes based on the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique (IACTs) detect images of the atmospheric showers generated by gamma rays and cosmic rays as they are absorbed by the atmosphere. The much more frequent cosmic-ray events form the main background when looking for gamma-ray sources, and therefore IACT sensitivity is significantly driven by the capability to distinguish between these two types of events. Supervised learning algorithms, like random forests and boosted decision trees, have been shown to effectively classify IACT events. In this contribution we present results from exploratory work using deep learning as an event classification method for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). CTA, conceived as an array of tens of IACTs, is an international project for a next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory, aiming to improve on the sensitivity of current-generation experiments by an order of magnitude and provide energy coverage from 20 GeV to more than 300 TeV.

The Falmer 'Cupid'

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 157, 133-138
description: The so-called Falmer Cupid is a competently-executed, copper alloy figurine which was apparently found by a ploughman on the downs around Falmer, East Sussex. The figurine came into the possession of George Fleming Richardson, curator of the Mantellian Museum attached to the Royal Sussex Scientific Institution. Richardson presented the figurine to Dr Gideon Algernon Mantell in 1836. The Cupid remained with Mantell until his death in 1852, after which it was acquired by the British Museum. Although the figurine has some Cupid-like attributes (it is naked and has a quiver of arrows), it lacks wings. It is proposed that this figurine represents Apollo, who is also depicted divinely naked, with a bow, but without wings.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will probe the non-thermal universe above 20 GeV up to several hundreds of TeV with a significant improvement in sensitivity and angular resolution compared to current experiments. Its outstanding capabilities will allow to increase the number of extragalactic cosmic accelerators detected at very high energy (VHE) and therefore to better constrain the population of VHE accelerators and the gamma-ray absorption processes in the intergalactic medium. For the first time in the history of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs), CTA will be an open observatory and high-level data will be made available to the astronomical community. Gammapy is an open-source Python package developed by the Cherenkov telescope community that provides tools to simulate the gamma-ray sky and analyse IACT data. The versatile architecture of, and steady user contributions to Gammapy enable a large variety of high-level data analyses. Examples of Gaammapy applications are presented, particularly in the context of extragalactic science with CTA.
End-to-end data acquisition pipeline for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Year: 2017

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will operate several types of telescopes and cameras. The individual camera trigger rates will vary much - from 0.6 to 15 kHz - while the content of the raw data will be heterogeneous. Raw data streams of up to 43 Gbps per telescope must be handled efficiently, from the camera front-ends down to the on-site repository and real-time analysis. In addition, the system must transcode all raw data to a common, pre-calibrated format. We will present the pipeline that we propose to implement this data acquisition pipeline. It will format the raw data to a common structure, provide facilities to run camera-specific algorithms and compress and write data to the on-site repository. We will also present the Python interface that allows the analysis pipeline to access the data. Eventually, the two strategies foreseen to interface the camera servers will be detailed and the current status of the developments for CTA will be given, with the last performance figures measured.

description: The SST-1M is a 4-m Davies--Cotton atmospheric Cherenkov telescope optimized to provide gamma-ray sensitivity above a few TeV. The SST-1M is proposed as part of the Small-Size Telescope array for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the first prototype has already been deployed. The SST-1M control software of all subsystems (active mirror control, drive system, safety system, photo-detection plane, DigiCam, CCD cameras) and the whole telescope itself (master controller) uses the standard software design proposed for all CTA telescopes based on the ALMA Common Software (ACS) developed to control the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). Each subsystem is represented by a separate ACS component, which handles the communication to and the operation of the subsystem. Interfacing with the actual hardware is performed via the OPC UA communication protocol, supported either natively by dedicated industrial standard servers (PLCs) or separate service applications developed to wrap lower level protocols (e.g. CAN bus, camera slow control) into OPC UA. Early operations of the telescope without the camera were already carried out. The camera is fully assembled and is capable to perform data acquisition using artificial light source.
Inflation from High-Scale Supersymmetry Breaking
Creators: name: Domcke, Valerie Fiona
name: Schmitz, Kai
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: Supersymmetry breaking close to the scale of grand unification can explain cosmic inflation. As we demonstrate in this paper, this can be achieved in strongly coupled supersymmetric gauge theories, such that the energy scales of inflation and supersymmmetry breaking are generated dynamically. As a consequence, both scales are related to each other and exponentially suppressed compared to the Planck scale. As an example, we consider a dynamical model in which gauging a global flavor symmetry in the supersymmetry-breaking sector gives rise to a Fayet-Iliopoulos D term. This results in successful D-term hybrid inflation in agreement with all theoretical and phenomenological constraints. The gauged flavor symmetry can be identified with $U(1)_{B-L}$, where $B$ and $L$ denote baryon and lepton number, respectively. In the end, we arrive at a consistent cosmological scenario that provides a unified picture of high-scale supersymmetry breaking, viable D-term hybrid inflation, spontaneous $B$$-$$L$ breaking at the scale of grand unification, baryogenesis via leptogenesis, and standard model neutrino masses due to the type-I seesaw mechanism.

Seither ist eine Vielzahl an thematischen, methodischen beziehungsweise theoretischen Beiträgen erschienen, die den Austausch, Transfer und die Umdeutung kultureller Phänomen thematisieren. Was als grenzüberschreitende wissenschaftliche Tagung zu den Konsequenzen der kulturellen Ausstrahlung Frankreichs zu beiden Seiten des Rheins begann, entwickelte rasch eine gewisse Eigendynamik, die zu immer mehr, sich immer weiter verzweigenden Forschungsansätzen geführt hat.

description: Η εκπαιδευτική ρομποτική αποτελεί ένα διαρκώς εξελισσόμενο τομέα που απευθύνεται σε μεγάλο εύρος χρηστών, ξεκινώντας από την προσχολική ηλικία, έχοντας ως σκοπό την προώθηση της γνώσης και τον εμπλουτισμό της εκπαιδευτικής διαδικασίας. Οι διαθέσιμες εκπαιδευτικές πλατφόρμες που διατίθενται στο αγοραστικό κοινό είναι πολυάριθμες. Οι πλατφόρμες υλισμικού και λογισμικού διαθέτουν διαφορετικά χαρακτηριστικά και δυνατότητες αλλά έχουν κοινούς εκπαιδευτικούς στόχους και μεθόδους εκπαίδευσης. Οι δυνατότητες και οι ιδιαιτερότητες της κάθε ρομποτικής πλατφόρμας δεν είναι εύκολο να εντοπιστούν από κάποιον που δεν διαθέτει το ανάλογο τεχνολογικό υπόβαθρο καθώς τα χαρακτηριστικά τους περιγράφονται με δυσνόητες τεχνικές ορολογίες. Αυτός είναι ένας από τους βασικούς λόγους που οδηγούν σε σύγχυση τον εκπαιδευτικό ή τον γονέα στην προσπάθειά του να καταλήξει την βέλτιστη επιλογή για την αγορά της πλατφόρμας που θα εμπλουτίσει το εκπαιδευτικό του έργο. Σκοπός ήταν η παρουσίαση, η ανάλυση, η αξιολόγηση και η βαθμολόγηση δεκατεσσάρων (14) από τις δημοφιλέστερες ρομποτικές πλατφόρμες της αγοράς ώστε να γίνουν κατανοητά τα μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά τους. Η βαθμολόγηση των πλατφορμών γίνεται στηριζόμενη σε κάποια κριτήρια που έχουν τεθεί βασιζόμενα στην υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία και έχει ως στόχο να βοηθήσει τον χρήστη να κατανοήσει τον βαθμό στον οποίο κάθε μια από τις πλατφόρμες καταφέρνει να καλύψει τα βασικά κριτήρια με τα οποία αξιολογούνται. Παρατηρήθηκαν εκπαιδευτικές πλατφόρμες που προσφέρουν πολλές δυνατότητες, με μεγάλη βαθμολογία να διατίθενται σε υψηλή τιμή αγοράς και άλλες με πιο περιορισμένες δυνατότητες αλλά με εξίσου μεγάλη βαθμολογία να διατίθενται σε χαμηλότερη τιμή αγοράς. Ο χρήστης είναι αυτός που θα κάνει την τελική επιλογή αφού αυτός αποφασίζει τόσο για την ποικιλία όσο και τη δυσκολία των εφαρμογών που θα πειραματιστεί.

description: Ο δήμος Αγίου Δημητρίου παρ’ ότι αποτελεί έναν από τους μεγαλύτερους και πολυπληθέστερους δήμους της Αττικής δεν έχει κάποιο σημαντικό κέντρο , έναν χώρο εκτόνωσης των κατοίκων του. Η περιοχή Ασυρμάτου ανήκε στην Υπηρεσία Πολιτικής Αεροπορίας και παραχωρήθηκε σταδιακά στο δήμο με αποτέλεσμα ο χώρος αυτός να αποτελεί ένα ανοργάνωτο σύνολο. Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχουν δημιουργηθεί αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις για τους δημότες, αλλά δεν υπάρχει περαιτέρω εξέλιξη του έργου προς όφελος της κοινωνίας. Στόχος της εργασίας είναι η αξιοποίηση και διαμόρφωση των κτιρίων της έκτασης αυτής σε ένα χώρο που θα προσελκύει τους κατοίκους και θα αναβαθμίσει τη συνοικία του Σαρωνικού στην οποία βρίσκεται. Με σεβασμό προς το πάρκο και την ιστορία αυτού και της περιοχής, θα δημιουργήσουμε χώρους πολιτιστικού ενδιαφέροντος, οι οποίοι θα βασιστούν στην ιστορία για την δημιουργία τους.

description: This book contains 26 studies conducted by students in the Cognitive Science seminar "Artificial Intelligence in Public Discourse". In their studies, they explore the use of the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related subfields in various parts of public discourse such as Twitter, user comments on news sites, expert interviews, government documents, television shows, newspapers, etc. It is investigated which strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats are ascribed to AI technology and how this relates to the technical and academic state of the art and discussion. Most studies employ qualitative methods, but quantitative and mixed-methods approaches are also used.
Understanding hosting communities as a stakeholder in the provision of urban infrastructure to displaced populations

description: As the world’s population has shifted to urban areas, so has the accommodation of displaced populations due to natural disasters, violent conflicts, or persecution. Accommodating those displaced in the urban context places challenges on engineers and decision-makers not only in terms of responding to the unexpected infrastructure needs from displaced persons but also ensuring that the infrastructure provided to pre-existing residents of hosting communities are not negatively impacted. Understanding how communities hosting displaced persons react to the disruptions of providing infrastructure to those displaced is fundamental for engineers and decision-makers to provide sustainable infrastructure under such a disaster scenario. This dissertation seeks to understand how hosting communities responded to the disruptions of displaced persons due to the European Refugee Crisis during 2015 and 2016. To accomplish this, statistical and qualitative analyses were coupled to analyze data gathered from a survey deployed in 2016 to local German residents to understand contextual factors influencing hosting communities’ perceptions toward disruptions from displaced persons on urban infrastructure and alternatives to provide infrastructure. Further, hosting communities’ perceptions toward infrastructure alternatives were simulated and compared with decisions made by local authorities regarding alternatives to provide infrastructure as an incremental step toward the integration of hosting communities as stakeholders. This dissertation reveals that local authorities and decision-makers in charge of the provision of urban infrastructure to displaced populations should account for hosting communities as a valid stakeholder. The hosting communities’ perceptions indicate that infrastructure alternatives may have different levels of support or opposition depending on local context. This reinforces the importance to plan and develop alternatives that are in conversation with the interests and concerns from hosting communities’ residents, which can minimize potential sources of public opposition from hosting communities.

description: Ein Diskussionspapier der Foren Bildung und Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft zum universitären Betrieb unter Covid-19-Bedingungen

 Unter den Bedingungen der Covid-19-Pandemie hat sich die Hochschullehre schnell und drastisch verändert: War an Universitäten in der überwiegenden Zahl vorher noch Präsenzlehre die Norm, so wurde nun vielerorts fast komplett auf Online-Lehre umgestellt. Das vorliegende Papier ist aus einer gemeinsamen Initiative der Foren Bildung und Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft (GfM) entstanden, um Besonderheiten der Online-Lehre aus dezidiert medienwissenschaftlicher Perspektive zu diskutieren und Aspekte zu beleuchten, die bisher wenig Beachtung finden. Im Vordergrund steht dabei eine Reflexion der medialen Bedingungen der Online-Lehre und ihrer Auswirkungen auf Studierende, Lehrende sowie Hochschulen.

polyphonic pitch transformation

description: Transformation of polyphonic audio in terms of pitch shifting and time stretching is often desirable and sometimes necessary in order to correct a mistake in the performance of the musician or in order to experiment with different chords or durations, that can be produced by transforming accordingly the given audio piece. Transparency in such transformations should be a key feature that would offer persuading results.

In this Thesis we implement a framework that carries out such processes by embed- ding different modules and techniques such as filter-banks, pitch shifting algorithms, and harmonic gain compensation blocks. We apply transformations between differ- ent chords on several instruments of different characteristics , and we measure the quality of the transformed sound. Furthermore we mention some inherent vulnera- bilities of the system and we propose ways to overcome them.
title: Russia's policies towards Belarus and Ukraine: Towards integration or disintegration

description: Russia's relations with Belarus and Ukraine have been particularly substantive and multidimensional, involving high levels of interaction and encompassing a wide range of salient issues in the political, military, economic and societal spheres. In the second half of the 1990s, their institutional framework was developed to reflect the different processes of bilateral integration between Russia and Belarus, on the one hand, and of a less far-reaching cooperation between Russia and Ukraine, on the other. This work analyses and compares Russo-Belarusian and Russo-Ukrainian relations since the mid-1990s, examining their role in domestic politics and placing them in the wider international context. It is concerned with the formulation of objectives and strategies guiding Russia's policies towards Belarus and Ukraine, surveying the perspectives of different elite groups and public opinion. It investigates linkages between issues in bilateral relations along with Russia's use of various policy instruments. Relative gains in Russia's economic relations with Belarus and Ukraine respectively are considered in order to assess the effectiveness of economic levers in each case. The evolution of the Russia-Belarus Union forms a major part of the study, looking beyond its institutional development into the progress actually made in attaining declared objectives, particularly economic convergence and unity in terms of foreign and defence policy. Likewise, the contractual basis of relations between Russia and Ukraine is examined and contrasted with actual tendencies in bilateral social and economic interaction as well as with the development of political and military cooperation. The material and conceptual factors shaping the external orientations of Belarus and Ukraine are explored with a view to understanding their diverging positions towards Russia.

description: The observed metallicity-mass correlation for star-planet properties is well known in exoplanet research. In past, numerous studies have confirmed that Jupiter-like planets are commonly found around metal-rich stars while the stars hosting low-mass planets have a wide range of metallicity. In most of the previous studies, the iron abundance [Fe/H] was used as a proxy for the overall metallicity of the star. In this work, we have analyzed the detailed chemical abundances of alpha and iron-peak elements for a sample of over 900 exoplanet host stars drawn from different radial velocity and transit surveys. We correlate the abundance trends of host stars with the planets' mass. Our findings indicate that parent stars of Jupiter-type giant planets are relatively young. This study also lends independent support to the core-accretion process and further shows that observed trends in stellar abundances and planet mass are more likely a natural consequence of galactic chemical evolution.

description: Objective: We aimed to compare sFlt-1 and placental growth factor (PlGF) levels and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio between women with preeclampsia and superimposed preeclampsia to, respectively, normotensive and chronic hypertensive ones. Study design: We performed a prospective two-armed cohort in a tertiary teaching hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, including 37 normotensive and 60 chronic hypertensive pregnant women. We assessed the serum levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF at 20, 26, 32, and 36 gestational weeks by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Main outcome measures: Having preeclampsia and superimposed preeclampsia. Results: Among normotensive and chronic hypertensive pregnancies, 4 (10.8%) and 14 (23.3%) women developed preeclampsia and superimposed preeclampsia, respectively. Compared with those who remained normotensive, the preeclampsia women presented higher sFlt-1 levels at 32 gestational weeks (4323.45 pg/mL vs. 2242.04 pg/mL, p = 0.019), lower PlGF levels at 20 (183.54 pg/mL vs. 337.38 pg/mL, p = 0.034), 32 (169.69 pg/mL vs. 792.53 pg/mL, p = 0.001), and 36 gestational weeks (252.99 pg/mL vs. 561.81 pg/mL, p = 0.029), and higher sFlt-1/PlGF ratios at 26 (9.02 vs. 1.84, p = 0.004), 32 (23.61 vs. 2.55, p = 0.001), and 36 gestational weeks (49.02 vs. 7.34, p = 0.029). On the other hand, compared with those who remained chronic hypertensive, the superimposed preeclampsia women only presented a higher sFlt-1/PlGF ratio at 32 gestational weeks (9.98 vs. 2.51, p = 0.039). Conclusion: Although angiogenic imbalance is clearly related to preeclampsia, it seems to play a more modest role in superimposed preeclampsia, in which other mechanisms should also be investigated.

description: Although the role of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFLT-1) in preeclampsia is well-established, the mechanism related to its synthesis remains poorly understood. We evaluated the association among the circulating microRNAs (miRs) and sFLT-1 levels in preeclampsia pregnant women. For this purpose, we measured the plasma sFLT-1 levels in 24 preeclampsia women and selected from these, three subjects with the lowest and three with the highest levels of sFLT-1 in order to screen for potential miRs associated with plasmatic sFLT-1 concentrations using a polymerase chain reaction-array (PCR-array) methodology. From screening results, we found three statistically different expressed miRs with fold change (FC-high/low levels) ≥3.0: miR-195-5p (FC = 5.2 increase in group with high sFLT-1 levels), miR-16-5p (FC = 3.2; increase in group with high sFLT-1 levels), and miR-375 (FC = −3.0; decrease in group with high sFLT-1 levels) which were later validated in all samples (n = 24). To correlate these miRs and plasma sFLT-1 levels, we used two extremes of analysis. In one part, we compared 12 preeclampsia women with the lowest sFLT-1 levels (L-50% group) to 12 with the highest levels (50% H group); and in the second analysis, 6 preeclampsia women (L-25%) from the L group to 6 preeclampsia women from the H group (H-25%). Our results showed increased expression of miR-195-5p in the H group, considering both the analyses with 50%, FC = 2.1 and 25%, FC = 4.2. Regarding other miRs, lack of correlation was found in both analyses (50% and 25%). In conclusion, our data demonstrate an association of higher levels of sFLT-1 with increased expression of miR-195-5p in preeclampsia pregnant women.
