description: Next-generation ground-based gravitational wave observatories will observe mergers of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) out to high redshift. Such IMBHs can form through runaway tidal encounters in the cores of dense stellar clusters. In this paper, we ask if the gravitational wave observation of a single merger event between two IMBHs, occurring in the aftermath of the coalescence of the clusters in which they formed, can be used to infer the properties of their host clusters, such as mass, redshift, and half-mass radius. We implement an astrophysically motivated analytic model for cluster evolution and IMBH growth, and we perform IMBH binary parameter estimation using a network of three next-generation detectors. We find that inferring the structural properties of clusters in this way is challenging due to model degeneracy. However, the posteriors on the cluster formation redshifts have relatively narrow peaks, and it may still be possible to infer the cluster formation history by measuring a whole population of IMBH binary merger events.

description: The new census of massive stars in the Carina nebula reveals the presence of 54 apparently single O-type stars in the Car OB1 association, an extremely active star-forming region which hosts some of the most luminous stars of the Milky Way. A detailed spectroscopic analysis of the currently most complete sample of O-type stars in the association can be used to inspect the main physical properties of cluster members and test evolutionary and stellar atmospheres models. We perform quantitative spectroscopic analysis for the most complete sample of apparently single O-type stars in Car OB1 with available spectroscopic data. From the high-resolution GES and OWN spectra we obtain a reliable distribution of rotational velocities for a sample of 37 O-type stars. It shows a bimodal structure with a low velocity peak at 60 km s$^{-1}$ and a short tail of fast rotators reaching 320 km s$^{-1}$. We also perform quantitative spectroscopic analysis and derive effective temperature, surface gravity and He abundance for a sample of 47 O-type stars, now including further stars from GOSSS database. Radii, luminosities, and spectroscopic masses were also determined using $Gaia$ astrometry. We create the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram to inspect the evolutionary status of the region and confirm the lack of stars close to the Zero Age Main Sequence (ZAMS) between $\sim$35 -- 55 M$_\odot$. We confirm a very young population with an age distribution peaking at 1 Myr, some stars close or even on the ZAMS, and a secondary peak at 4 -- 5 Myr in the age distribution. We confirm the youth of Trumpler 14, which is also the only cluster not showing the secondary peak. We also find a clear trend to evolutionary masses higher than derived spectroscopic masses for stars with evolutionary mass below 40 M$_{\odot}$.

description: Context. The evolution and the surrounding of stripped-envelope supernova progenitors are still under debate: some studies suggest single-star, while others prefer massive binary progenitors. Moreover, the basic physical properties of the exploding star and its interaction with circumstellar matter could significantly modify the overall light curve features of these objects. To better understand the effect of stellar evolution and circumstellar interaction, systematic hydrodynamic calculations are needed.
 Aims. Here, we test the hypothesis that circumstellar matter generated by an extreme episodic $η$ Carinae-like eruption that occurs days or weeks before the supernova explosion may explain the controversies related to the general light curve features of stripped-envelope supernovae.
 Methods. In this work, we present our bolometric light curve calculations of both single- and binary progenitors generated by hydrodynamic simulations via MESA and SNEC. We also studied the effect of an interaction with a close, low-mass circumstellar matter assumed to be created just a few days or weeks before the explosion. Beyond generating a model light curve grid, we compared our results with some observational data.
 Results. We found that merely the shape of the supernova light curve could indicate that the cataclysmic death of the massive star happened in a binary system or was related to the explosion of a single star. Moreover, our study also shows that a confined dense circumstellar matter may be responsible for the strange light curve features (bumps, re-brightening, or steeper tail) of some Type Ib/c supernovae.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a promising paradigm in complex and continuous robotic tasks, however, safe exploration has been one of the main challenges, especially in contact-rich manipulation tasks in unstructured environments. Focusing on this issue, we propose SRL-VIC: a model-free safe RL framework combined with a variable impedance controller (VIC). Specifically, safety critic and recovery policy networks are pre-trained where safety critic evaluates the safety of the next action using a risk value before it is executed and the recovery policy suggests a corrective action if the risk value is high. Furthermore, the policies are updated online where the task policy not only achieves the task but also modulates the stiffness parameters to keep a safe and compliant profile. A set of experiments in contact-rich maze tasks demonstrate that our framework outperforms the baselines (without the recovery mechanism and without the VIC), yielding a good trade-off between efficient task accomplishment and safety guarantee. We show our policy trained on simulation can be deployed on a physical robot without fine-tuning, achieving successful task completion with robustness and generalization.

description: APECED (Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Distrophy) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. We previously found that sera samples from 9/14 patients revealed autoantibodies (Auto-Abs) reacting with cerebellum (GABAergic cells, n=5) and substantia nigra (SN; dopaminergic cells, n=5) [1]. Follow-up of the large majority of these patients was perfomed at least 10 years after the previous investigation. Indeed, on these patients, and on control age-matched subjects (n=14), we performed brain examinations using an MRI scanner. Obtained images were used to evaluate the volumes of white and gray matter (W.M and G.M., respectively) as well as the ventricles (III and IV). In addition, we used immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissues from rat brain (after perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde) in order to confirm the previous immunoreactivities or found new Auto-Abs cell targets. The brain MR revealed a reduction of G.M (p = 0.042) and cerebellum (p = 0.0012), and an increase of ventricles (p = 0.0001), compared to controls. Through IHC, after 10 years, we found 11/14 patients producing Auto-Abs against different brain neuronal cells. In detail, among the patients previously investigated and containing Auto-Abs against GABAergic perikarya in the cerebellum, 3 still contained the same immunoreactivity while 1 was unavailable, and 1 lost the reactivity. Instead, as to Auto-Abs against dopaminergic perikarya in the SN, 4 patients confirmed their previous reactivity, while 3 previously negative patients, revealed novel positivity (in total, n=7). A new immunoreactivity against the 5HT cells in the brainstem were also revealed in the same patients with Auto-Abs to SN (n=7). In conclusion, the co-presence of brain volume changes and neuronal Auto-Abs in APECED patients could suggest an autoimmune manifestation at the brain level that should be taken in consideration.

description: The proximity & low dust extinction of the Magellanic Clouds provides an ideal environment for metal-poor massive stars to be studied in detail. The HST ULLYSES initiative has provided exquisite ultraviolet spectroscopy of a large sample of OB stars in the Magellanic Clouds, and its legacy value has been enhanced through the acquisition of optical VLT/XShooter spectroscopy (XShootU). We aim to determine the spectral types and physical properties of 122 LMC & 103 SMC OB stars observed via XShootU. Physical parameters are required for these to serve as templates in spectral libraries of metal poor massive stars. We also aim to identify double-lined binaries and OeBe stars for which analysis requires non-standard treatment. We apply a pipeline designed to analyse large spectroscopic samples of hot luminous stars to XShootU spectroscopic datasets, together with grids of synthetic model spectra computed with the non-LTE atmospheric code fastwind at LMC & SMC metallicities. We determine physical and wind properties of 97 LMC & 77 SMC massive stars, ranging from O2 to B9 subtypes, representing the majority of the XShootU OB sample (OeBe & candidate SB2 systems are excluded). Results are broadly in agreement with previous optical spectroscopic studies, with evolutionary masses spanning 12-117 Msun in the LMC & 11-74 Msun in the SMC. We determine a revised Teff-spectral type calibration for Magellanic Cloud stars, identify stars with peculiar radial velocities, and compare wind properties of high luminosity O stars with dense winds, revealing ~0.27 dex higher wind momenta of LMC stars with respect to SMC counterparts. Incorporating the recent empirical metallicity dependence of Z^0.22 for wind velocities, this suggests a mass-loss dependence of Z^0.5 for luminous O stars. Studies incorporating ultraviolet mass-loss diagnostics are required for OB stars with weak winds and/or low luminosities.

description: For their normal growth, cells depend on a continuous flow of signals from the environment. The Janus kinases (JAK) 1 transducers signalling pathway is a pleiotropic cascade used to transduce a multitude of signals among cells. A variety of ligands including cytokines, hormones, growth factors, and their receptors stimulate the JAK1 pathway. Cytokines, a large and very heterogeneous family of small and generally soluble glycoproteins, both control multiple biological processes as haematopoiesis, inflammation, and immunity playing a central role in cell-cell communication. Their action is mediated by the binding to specific receptors on the cell surface, thus transducing biological information to target cells [1]. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play a pivotal role in several inflammatory illnesses including psoriasis. Among them, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22, IL-23 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha play a central role. In the formation and progression of the psoriatic lesion a typical marker is keratin (K) 17 which is correlated with psoriasis severity. The aims of this study were to evaluate the early, direct, and specific effects of pro-inflammatory psoriatic cytokines i) on the activation of the intracellular pathway JAK1 and ii) on the correlation with the induction of K17 expression in a three-dimensional model (3D) of human skin (n=7) by immunofluorescence. Biopsies were cultured overnight epidermal side-up in a Transwell system and exposed to 50 ng/ml IL-17, or 100 ng/ml IL-22, or 50 ng/ml IL-23 or 100 ng/ml TNF-alpha. Samples were harvested 24 (T24), 48 (T48), and 72 (T72) hours after cytokine incubation. In samples not exposed to cytokines, a JAK1 slight labelling was observed throughout the epidermis, decreasing at T72 in the lower layers. At T24, IL-17 and IL-22, but not IL-23 and TNF-alpha, induced an expression of JAK1 in the spinous layer. At T72, JAK1 immunostaining decreased in all samples, similarly to controls. K17 immunopositivity was induced and progressively increased with time in the suprabasal layers of epidermis in all experimental groups, with the exception of the TNF-alpha group. These results suggest that cytokines exert parallel effects on JAK1 pathway activation and K17 induction. In conclusion, this 3D model, reproducing some features of psoriatic microenvironment, represents an useful experimental approach to dissect the specific role of each cytokine in the different steps of psoriatic lesion formation.

description: Due to the relevance of hippocampal dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders, which affect memory, cognitive abilities and behaviour, developmental studies may represent an important tool for the understanding of cellular and molecular phenomena underlying early hippocampal damage, as well as to study possible therapeutic interventions, which may modify the progression of neuronal death. Since many findings support the neuroprotective effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) administration in different neurodevelopmental models of brain injury [1, 2], the present study investigates the effects of E2-pre-treatment in a model of neonatal hippocampal injury obtained by Trimethyltin (TMT) administration (6,5 mg/kg), characterized by neuronal loss in CA1 and CA3 subfields, associated with astroglial and microglial activation [3, 4]. At P5 and P6 animals received two E2 doses (0.2 mg/kg i.p.) or vehicle. At P7 they received a single dose of TMT (6,5 mg/kg i.p.) and were euthanised 7 days after treatment. Our data indicates that E2 administration significantly improves neuronal death in CA1, reduces the extent of microglial activation and restores TMT-induced reduction of both parvalbumin- and neuropeptide Y-expressing interneurons in the same hippocampal region. Our results add information on the role of in vivo E2 administration on mechanisms involved in neuroprotection and cellular plasticity in the developing brain.

description: Recent results have shown that the secret-key rate of coherent-one-way (COW) quantum key distribution (QKD) scales quadratically with the system's transmittance, thus rendering this protocol unsuitable for long-distance transmission. This was proven by using a so-called zero-error attack, which relies on an unambiguous state discrimination (USD) measurement. This type of attack allows the eavesdropper to learn the whole secret key without introducing any error. Here, we investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of zero-error attacks against COW QKD with present-day technology. For this, we introduce two practical USD receivers that can be realized with linear passive optical elements, phase-space displacement operations and threshold single-photon detectors. The first receiver is optimal with respect to its success probability, while the second one can impose stronger restrictions on the protocol's performance with faulty eavesdropping equipment. Our findings suggest that zero-error attacks could break the security of COW QKD even assuming realistic experimental conditions.

description: The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is the site where muscle contractile force is transmitted from the myofibrils across the plasma membrane to the tendon extracellular matrix (ECM), therefore it is a key structure for the locomotor system [1]. In this work, we investigated the relationship between ultrastructural adaptations and the MTJ protein complex modulation after aerobic exercise. In particular, the answer of this anatomical interface to a month of moderate aerobic exercise has been analysed in Sprague-Dawley rats by means of confocal and transmission electron microscopy. Morphological observations confirm the exercise ability to increase the contact area between tissues, increasing the complexity of tendon finger-like processes, which penetrate into the muscle mass. Moreover, these observations suggest a possible MTJ protein complex adaptation after exercise. Confocal images, associated to an immunofluorescence quantification, confirm these ultrastructural observations. Taking together these data reveal that MTJ is a plastic interface. This plasticity can be induced by exercise, which is able to increase the contact area between tissues and to induce a protein synthesis at MTJ level.

description: Precision astrometry offers a way to probe new physics. By measuring the angular position of light sources at unprecedented precision, astrometry could probe minuscule fluctuations of underlying spacetime. This work explores the possibility of probing ultralight dark matter candidates using precision astrometry. Through the coherent and stochastic density fluctuations over the scale of its wavelength, ultralight dark matter perturbs the propagation of light and the geodesics of the observer and source, leading to unique time-dependent signatures in the angular position of background light sources. With detector specifications similar to the current and future astrometry observations, such as Gaia and Roman Space Telescope, it is shown that the ultralight scalar dark matter of mass $10^{-18}\,{\rm eV} \, \textrm{--} \, 10^{-16} \,{\rm eV}$ could be probed when its density near the solar system is about a few thousand times larger than the nominal dark matter density measured on a much larger kpc-scale. This sensitivity is comparable to current pulsar timing array observations at a similar mass range. Explicit expressions for the angular deflection induced by most generic metric perturbations are derived and its gauge invariance is explicitly checked at the linear order.

From Planetesimals to Dwarf Planets by Pebble Accretion

description: The size distribution of TNOs in the Kuiper Belt provides crucial insights into the formation and evolution of the outer Solar System. Recent observational surveys, including OSSOS++, have revealed that dynamically cold and hot TNO populations exhibit similar size distributions for dimmer objects ($H_r > 5$), which are consistent with planetesimal formation by streaming instability (SI). However, the hot population contains a significantly larger number of massive bodies, including several dwarf planets. In this study, we investigate the role of pebble accretion in shaping the size distribution of hot TNOs, after their formation in the primordial disk (PB) between 20 and 30 au and before these bodies were dynamically implanted into their current orbits by a migrating Neptune. We find that pebble accretion grows the most massive bodies only, consistent with the flattening of the distribution brightwards of $H_r=5$. All results point to a correlation (degeneracy) between the pebble aerodynamic size and the intensity of the gas motions. Nevertheless, accretion from an inward-drifting stream of pebbles is unlikely, as it puts extreme demands on the mass budget of pebbles. In particular, the masses of the cold classicals are too low to trigger pebble accretion. Accretion in an environment where pebbles are entrained, as believed to be the case in rings seen with ALMA, is preferable. Combining the constraints obtained from this study with ALMA imagery morphology fitting reveals a typical pebble aerodynamic size of $τ_s \sim 10^{-2}$, a turbulent diffusivity parameter $α_D\sim10^{-3}$, and a total accreted pebble mass of ${\sim}10\,m_\oplus$ in the primordial belt. Those TNOs formed through significant pebble accretion with masses exceeding ${\sim}10^{-4}\,m_\oplus$ are likely to satisfy the International Astronomical Union's ``round shape'' criterion for dwarf planets.

title: Kategorisierte Gewalt und kulturalisierte Grenzen
Creators: name: Öchsner, Susanne Cathrin

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird unter Anwendung der Intersektionalitätstheorie analysiert, ob ungleiche Bedingungen für gesellschaftlich unterschiedlich positionierte Frauen bestehen, im Fall von Gewalt im sozialen Nahraum Zugang zur Schutzeinrichtung eines Frauenhauses zu finden. Es wird dargelegt, dass es notwendig ist, die Kategorie Geschlecht, die im Frauenhauskontext zentral ist, um zusätzliche Kategorien zu erweitern. Der Zugang einer gewaltbetroffenen Frau zum Frauenhaus manifestiert sich als Passage, während derer mehrere Phasen zu durchlaufen sind, und die zu überwindende Barrieren beinhaltet, die als Strukturierungselemente des Zugangs verstanden werden. Es zeigen sich in der Arbeit neben ineinander verschränkten strukturellen und individuellen Barrieren auch sogenannte kulturelle Barrieren, die sich auf durch Fremdzuschreibungen kulturalisierte Zugänge beziehen. Nachdem die Zurückführung einer Barriere auf Struktur, Individuum oder Kultur die Wahl der Gegenstrategie definiert, gilt es zu überprüfen, ob die Verortung jener der Analyse standhält und unter welchen Bedingungen die Gegenstrategien nachhaltig Wirkung zeigen.
