description: Hintergrund: Im obligatorischen Lehrmodul „Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ des Studiengangs Kindergarten und Primarstufe der Pädagogischen Hochschule St.Gallen wurde bis vor einigen Jahren primär das Ziel verfolgt, die Studierenden in die Prinzipien der BNE-Didaktik und einschlägige Lehrmittel einzuführen. Die Annahme, dass Studierende BNE in höherem Masse in ihre Schulpraxis einfliessen lassen, wenn Sie sich auch mit Aspekten Nachhaltiger Entwicklung (NE) (wie z.B. Agenda30, NE-Modelle und -Leitstrategien, Politische Instrumente) auseinandergesetzt haben, führte zur Neukonzeptionierung des Lehrmoduls. Ziel: Der Artikel stellt die Einbettung des Lehrmoduls in der Ausbildung, die Konzeptionierung und Entwicklung des Lehrmoduls in den letzten Jahren und die Form des Leistungsnachweises vor. Ebenso wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern inhaltlich-didaktische Aspekte des Lehrmoduls in die Entwicklung von Lernangeboten für Schulkassen der Zielstufen an Lernwerkstätten der „Regionalen Didaktischen Zentren“ (RDZ) einfliessen. Die Frage, ob Studierende ihre eigenen Haltungen bezüglich NE-Aspekten nachhaltig und langfristig reflektieren und ihren Unterricht in ihrer eigenen Berufspraxis an der im Lehrmodul vermittelten BNE-Didaktik ausrichten, ist nicht umfassend untersucht, wird aber aufgrund von subjektiven Erfahrungen tendenziell bejaht.

description: This paper considers future distribution networks featuring inverter-interfaced photovoltaic (PV) systems, and addresses the synthesis of feedback controllers that seek real- and reactive-power inverter setpoints corresponding to AC optimal power flow (OPF) solutions. The objective is to bridge the temporal gap between long-term system optimization and real-time inverter control, and enable seamless PV-owner participation without compromising system efficiency and stability. The design of the controllers is grounded on a dual epsilon-subgradient method, and semidefinite programming relaxations are advocated to bypass the non-convexity of AC OPF formulations. Global convergence of inverter output powers is analytically established for diminishing stepsize rules and strictly convex OPF costs for cases where: i) computational limits dictate asynchronous updates of the controller signals, and ii) inverter reference inputs may be updated at a faster rate than the power-output settling time. Although the focus is on PV systems, the framework naturally accommodates different types of inverter-interfaced energy resources.

This research project broadly explores how Afro-Puerto Ricans in Piñones, Loíza resist structural racism, struggle for social equality, and pursue a more prosperous future. In collaboration with the Corporación Piñones se Integra (COPI), a a community-based non-profit, we will employ ethnographic methods to understand how Afro-Puerto Ricans experience race, practice environmental conversation of their ancestral mangrove forest, and seek to effect change in governmental politics. Ultimately, we aim to influence political ideologies and construct public policy that will allow Afro-Puerto Ricans to not only resist structural racism, but to flourish as equal members of society.

description: Transient brightenings in the transition region of the Sun have been studied for decades and are usually related to magnetic reconnection. Recently, absorption features due to chromospheric lines have been identified in transition region emission lines raising the question of the thermal stratification during such reconnection events. We analyse data from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) in an emerging active region. Here the spectral profiles show clear self-absorption features in the transition region lines of Si\,{\sc{iv}}. While some indications existed that opacity effects might play some role in strong transition region lines, self-absorption has not been observed before. We show why previous instruments could not observe such self-absorption features, and discuss some implications of this observation for the corresponding structure of reconnection events in the atmosphere. Based on this we speculate that a range of phenomena, such as explosive events, blinkers or Ellerman bombs, are just different aspects of the same reconnection event occurring at different heights in the atmosphere.

The contribution from geometric isotropy at a subgroup K of the maximal torus of G is captured by a module over H^*(BW_G(K)_e) with an action of π_0(W_G(K)), where W_G(K)=N_G(K)/K and the subscript e denotes the identity component.

title: 'On the strength of a likeness' : Kipling and the analogical connections between India and Ireland
Creators: name: Nagai, Kaori
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This study firstly focuses on the political implications of Kipling’s representation of the Irish characters in India. Kipling, in the context of the imperial policy of the day, relocates the Irish question onto India. India was one of the few places where the Irish could be represented safely as loyal subjects, without mirroring the fact that many Irish people were forced to emigrate due to England’s ‘misgovernment’ of Ireland. Kipling’s representation of the voice of the Irish soldiers is a powerful counter-representation to the Irish nationalist voices which were raised against the Empire, and Kim is an ideal imperial space where all the different elements of the Empire are seen together and freely traverse without being constricted by the subversive colonial ground. Secondly, this study explores the analogies and comparisons between India and Ireland frequently made during the nineteenth century. Such analogies were used both by the imperial discourses which constructed the British Empire as a uniform entity and the nationalist discourses which attempted to undermine the unity of the Empire. Applying Roman Jakobson’s distinction between metonymy and metaphor, I characterise the imperialist discourse as ‘metonymic’, and the nationalist one as ‘metaphoric’: the former combines originally different elements into one imperial context according to the spatial or temporal contiguity, while the latter forms the anti-imperial association by identification and substitution based on various degrees of similarity. Kipling’s representation of the Irish in India is shown to be a successful example of the metonymic way of uniting the colonies. Within this framework, I examine the contest between the two types of analogies during the Boer War. Indian nationalist identification with Ireland during the Swadeshi movement is also examined, during which we witness the fall of the imperialist/metonymic analogies. The last chapter questions the validity of the identification between India and Ireland which tended to be made by nationalists, by contrasting the Irish uncanny with the Indian sublime, both of which were haunted by recurrent famines. Florence Nightingale, as a coloniser, confronted and silenced the former, and reached out for the latter as the stage of her sanitary reform. The Irish voice was regarded as a threat to English supremacy, while the Indian voice was easily dismissed and was seen as needing to be represented.

description: In this research, we investigate a generalized form of Vidale-Wolfe (GVW) model. One key element of our modeling work is that the GVW model contains two useful indexes representing advertiser's elasticity and the word-of-mouth (WoM) effect, respectively. Moreover, we discuss some desirable properties of the GVW model, and present a deep neural network (DNN)-based estimation method to learn its parameters. Furthermore, based on three realworld datasets, we conduct computational experiments to validate the GVW model and identified properties. In addition, we also discuss potential advantages of the GVW model over econometric models. The research outcome shows that both the ad elasticity index and the WoM index have significant influences on advertising responses, and the GVW model has potential advantages over econometric models of advertising, in terms of several interesting phenomena drawn from practical advertising situations. The GVW model and its deep learning-based estimation method provide a basis to support big data-driven advertising analytics and decision makings; in the meanwhile, identified properties and experimental findings of this research illuminate critical managerial insights for advertisers in various advertising forms.

title: A 'Disturbing Influence': Directions and Cross-confessional Inputs in English Church Architecture, 1945-1970
Creators: name: Grieco, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The work focuses on the evolution of British ecclesiastical architecture in the post-war period, from 1945 to 1970, with a particular focus on Anglican churches. To understand the development, which follows the transformation of liturgy, the study takes stock of liturgical innovations in religious communities and their impact on church layouts around the second half of the twentieth century. The dissertation investigates the theoretical seeds at the base of the post-war relationship between liturgy and architecture, and the cross-confessional inputs in the design of Christian churches, as well as spaces devoted to ecumenical services. The spread of magazines, books, and photographic reportages, as well as the birth of research groups on church architecture during the chosen period, pinpoint the relevance of the subject in post-war British society. At the same time, the analysis of the texts published during the period of investigation, and of their gaze towards Continental architecture, will prompt a discussion on the cross-geographical influences on British church building. Particularly, the study will consider the contemporary advances in ecclesiastical architecture in Italy, Germany, and France, tracing common paths and divergencies in the planning of churches by comparison with the British case-studies. Considering the communitarian revolution that would inspire the Second Vatican Council within the Catholic Church and the Parish and People movement within the Church of England - both aimed at bringing the Mass to the people - churches will be analysed according to their relationship with the urban communities. The need to rebuild cities after the destruction and the economic crisis following the Second World War link church buildings to planned urban developments. In such contexts, churches are sculpted on the new exigences of modern neighbourhoods, but their architectural upshot will take account of the complex convergence of different factors and protagonists, from architects to local authorities, from priests to immigrants, who all contributed to their planning. The themes covered by the dissertation are not presumed to offer an inclusive view on British church architecture. Their goal is rather to mark new paths towards a cross-cultural contextualization of church building in England, an architectural phenomenon that cannot simply be dealt with by mere stylistic analysis but requires a broader multi-oriented approach. Indeed, the study takes into account the various inputs from liturgy to ecumenism, from urban and social theories to the influence of Continental architecture, considering British church architecture as an all-round phenomenon.

description: We address the problem that dynamical masses of high-redshift massive galaxies, derived using virial scaling, often come out lower than stellar masses inferred from population fitting to multi-band photometry. We compare dynamical and stellar masses for various samples spanning ranges of mass, compactness and redshift, including the SDSS. The discrepancy between dynamical and stellar masses occurs both at low and high redshifts, and systematically increases with galaxy compactness. Because it is unlikely that stellar masses show systematic errors with galaxy compactness, the correlation of mass discrepancy with compactness points to errors in the dynamical mass estimates which assume homology with massive, nearby ellipticals. We quantify the deviations from homology and propose specific non-virial scaling of dynamical mass with effective radius and velocity dispersion.

description: In this paper, we study the vulnerability of 5nm node FinFET and nanowire (20nm gate length) and their corresponding SRAM under radiation. Ab initio tools, SRIM, PHITS, and GEANT4, are used to find the Linear Energy Transfer (LET) of neutron and alpha particles in Silicon and Silicon-Germanium. Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) is then used to find the most vulnerable incident location and direction in FinFET, nanowire, and their SRAM. Full 3D TCAD simulation, which allows the study of layout effect in SRAM, is used. It is found that NW is about 2-3 times more robust than FinFET in terms of flipping energy. Based on the simulation in the ab initio-TCAD framework, it is projected that there is a possibility to design an SRAM using NW that is immune to alpha-particle. It is also expected that SRAM can be optimized for more robust radiation hardness if Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) is taken into consideration.

description: The aim of this deliverable is to support and provide context to the CAPABLE system demonstration video (available on the project website). A brief description about the scope of the demonstration is followed by a detailed description of the scenario that will be managed during the demo. Given the decoupled nature of the CAPABLE architecture, the efforts that led to the completion of this demo were twofold: on the one hand, each involved partner carried out the development of the component under their own responsibility, on the other hand, there was a global effort to make the different components communicate with each other. All these efforts have been coordinated by Task Force 1, focused on the development of the final CAPABLE architecture. A new time-simulation method has been devised to make sure that all the components were reasoning at the current time. Moreover, a dedicated simulator has been implemented automatically loading and adjusting the time stamps of the Resource to comply with the method. For this demonstration, in addition, the scenario was created based on real patient data.

description: We prove a conjecture of W. Hackbusch about tensor network states related to a perfect binary tree and train track tree. Tensor network states are used to present seemingly complicated tensors in a relatively simple and efficient manner. Each such presentation is described by a binary tree and a collection of vector spaces, one for each vertex of the tree. A problem suggested by Wolfgang Hackbusch and Joseph Landsberg is to compare the complexities of encodings, if one presents the same tensor with respect to two different trees. We answer this question when the two trees are extremal cases: the most "spread" tree (perfect binary tree), and the "deepest" binary tree (train track tree). The corresponding tensor formats are called hierarchical formats (HF) and tensor train (TT) formats, respectively.

Gamma-spectrometric determination of 232U in uranium-bearing materials

description: The 232U content of various uranium-bearing items was measured using low-background gamma spectrometry. The method is independent of the measurement geometry, sample form and chemical composition. Since 232U is an artificially produced isotope, it carries information about previous irradiation of the material, which is relevant for nuclear forensics, nuclear safeguards and for nuclear reactor operations. A correlation between the 232U content and 235U enrichment of the investigated samples has been established, which is consistent with theoretical predictions. It is also shown how the correlation of the mass ratio 232U/235U vs. 235U content can be used to distinguish materials contaminated with reprocessed uranium from materials made of reprocessed uranium.

description: This document is a “demonstration” deliverable that accompanies the video available on the project website. Its purpose is to demonstrate the capabilities of the guideline-based decision support technology implemented in the project. This mainly involves two CAPABLE components, the Physician Decision Support System (PDSS) and the goal-based inference component GoCom that detects and mitigates drug-drug interactions as well as interactions between guideline recommendations. Two demonstrations are presented. The main demonstration shows how PDSS and GoCom work together to provide guideline-based decision support with goal-based detection and resolution of drug interactions. This is presented as a video of the PDSS and GoCom logs during a simulated run of a clinical scenario, with a voice-over and a walk-through in this document explaining each step of the demonstration. A secondary demonstration covers the modes of interaction that have been developed between the Predictive Model Component (PMC) and PDSS, allowing machine-learning-based predictive analytics to be combined with guideline-based decision support and delivered to a physician at the point of care. This is an experimental feature which will not be used in the clinical pilot, thus its demonstration is more limited.

description: This paper uses firm level data to examine the market concentration of Korea’s food processing industry by measuring the concentration ratio indices of each detailed industry. Moreover, the fixed effects models are used to investigate potential factors influencing the market concentration indices of the food processing industry. The variables such as minimum efficient size (MES), advertising concentration index, required capital ratio, industry growth ratio, firm entry ratio were selected as the major factors. The results found that the minimum efficient scale is positively related to the market concentration of the food processing industry. Also, the required capital ratio and advertising concentration ratio are positively related to market concentration, indicating those factors act as barriers to entry for new businesses.

description: Exact solutions to the Einstein field equations may be generated from already existing ones (seed solutions), that admit at least one Killing vector. In this framework, a space of potentials is introduced. By the use of symmetries in this space, the set of potentials associated to a known solution are transformed into a new set, either by continuous transformations or by discrete transformations. In view of this method, and upon consideration of continuous transformations, we arrive at some exact, stationary axisymmetric solutions to the Einstein field equations in vacuum, that may be of geometrical or/and physical interest.

description: Single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) allows for structures of proteins and protein complexes to be determined from images of non-crystalline specimens. Cryo-EM data analysis requires electron microscope images of randomly oriented ice-embedded protein particles to be rotated and translated to allow for coherent averaging when calculating three-dimensional (3D) structures. Rotation of 2D images is usually done with the assumption that the magnification of the electron microscope is the same in all directions. However, due to electron optical aberrations, this condition is not met with some electron microscopes when used with the settings necessary for cryo-EM with a direct detector device (DDD) camera. Correction of images by linear interpolation in real space has allowed high-resolution structures to be calculated from cryo-EM images for symmetric particles. Here we describe and compare a simple real space method, a simple Fourier space method, and a somewhat more sophisticated Fourier space method to correct images for a measured anisotropy in magnification. Further, anisotropic magnification causes contrast transfer function (CTF) parameters estimated from image power spectra to have an apparent systematic astigmatism. To address this problem we develop an approach to adjust CTF parameters measured from distorted images so that they can be used with corrected images. The effect of anisotropic magnification on CTF parameters provides a simple way of detecting magnification anisotropy in cryo-EM datasets.

description: We study the time evolution of the entanglement negativity after a local quantum quench in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), which we introduce by suddenly joining two initially decoupled CFTs at their endpoints. We calculate the negativity evolution for both adjacent intervals and disjoint intervals explicitly. For two adjacent intervals, the entanglement negativity grows logarithmically in time right after the quench. After developing a plateau-like feature, the entanglement negativity drops to the ground-state value. For the case of two spatially separated intervals, a light-cone behavior is observed in the negativity evolution; in addition, a long-range entanglement, which is independent of the distance between two intervals, can be created. Our results agree with the heuristic picture that quasiparticles, which carry entanglement, are emitted from the joining point and propagate freely through the system. Our analytical results are confirmed by numerical calculations based on a critical harmonic chain.

Automatic continuity for homeomorphism groups and applications
Creators: name: Mann, Kathryn
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property: any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a question of C. Rosendal. If N is a submanifold of M, the group of homeomorphisms of M that preserve N also has this property. Various applications of automatic continuity are discussed, including applications to the topology and structure of groups of germs of homeomorphisms. In an appendix with Frederic Le Roux we also show, using related techniques, that the group of germs at a point of homeomorphisms of Rn is strongly uniformly simple.

Supplementary information from Prioritizing pollinators over pests: wild bees are more important than beetle damage for watermelon yield

description: Insect pests and pollinators can interact directly and indirectly to affect crop production; however, impacts of these interactions on marketable yield are little known. Thus, the evaluation of interactions between pests and pollinators are needed to best prioritize management efforts. Over 2 years, we evaluated the impact of pollinator visitation and/or beetle (Acalymma vittatum) infestation on fruit set and yield in seedless watermelon production. In 2020, we tested the main effect of pollinator visitation: 2 or 8 honeybee visits, 2 wild bee visits, Hand pollinated and Open pollinated. In 2021, we crossed wild and managed pollinator visitation (2 or 4 honeybee visits, 2 or 4 wild bee visits, Hand pollinated and Open pollinated) with varying beetle infestation levels (0, 3, 6 and 9 beetles/plant). In both years, wild bees contributed significantly to high fruit yields, and exclusive visitation from wild bees increased yield by a factor of 1.5–3 compared to honeybees. In 2021, pollination was the only significant factor for fruit set and marketable yield even when compared to the varying beetle infestation levels. These data advocate for a reprioritization of management, to conserve and protect wild bee pollination, which could be more critical than avoiding pest damage for ensuring high yields.

description: We propose a new solution to the cosmological constant problem building on a nonperturbative quantum theory of gravity with torsional instantons. These pseudoparticles, which were recently found to exist in a first order formulation of Giddings-Strominger axionic gravity, carry nontrivial Nieh-Yan topological charge. The nonperturbative ground state as generated due to tunneling effects is shown to be stable under quantum fluctuations. Within this framework, the associated vacuum angle, namely the Barbero-Immirzi topological parameter, gets fixed to a numerical value determined by the Hubble constant.

description: We provide nonasymptotic upper and lower bounds on the sum-rate capacity of Rayleigh block-fading multiple-access channels for the setup where a priori channel state information is not available. The upper bound relies on a dual formula for channel capacity and on the assumption that the users can cooperate perfectly. The lower bound is derived assuming a noncooperative scenario, where each user employs unitary space-time modulation (independently from the other users). Numerical results show that the gap between the upper and the lower bound is small already at moderate SNR values. This suggests that the sum-rate capacity gains obtainable through user cooperation are minimal.

demo

description: The aim of this deliverable is to demonstrate the current state of the Virtual Coach (VC) - a patient coaching component of the CAPABLE system. VC provides active and comprehensive support for patients and their home caregivers. The provided support referred to as coaching, involves monitoring reported symptoms and readings obtained from wearable sensors (consumer-grade smartwatches), recommending pharmacological (only if already prescribed by the doctors) and non-pharmacological interventions (so-called well-being capsules), and delivering alerts, reminders, and various types of tips (related to prevention, education, and symptom management). This demonstration comprises a textual description and a video. The text in this document presents the current architecture of VC based on the actor model paradigm, describes the adopted approach to modeling and dynamic, event-driven execution of computer-interpretable guidelines (CIGs), and summarizes two clinical scenarios that are employed to illustrate the operations of VC and related CAPABLE components, such as KDOM or Deontics Engine (DE). These operations are then presented in the video available on the project website.

description: Insect pests and pollinators can interact directly and indirectly to affect crop production; however, impacts of these interactions on marketable yield are little known. Thus, the evaluation of interactions between pests and pollinators are needed to best prioritize management efforts. Over 2 years, we evaluated the impact of pollinator visitation and/or beetle (Acalymma vittatum) infestation on fruit set and yield in seedless watermelon production. In 2020, we tested the main effect of pollinator visitation: 2 or 8 honeybee visits, 2 wild bee visits, Hand pollinated and Open pollinated. In 2021, we crossed wild and managed pollinator visitation (2 or 4 honeybee visits, 2 or 4 wild bee visits, Hand pollinated and Open pollinated) with varying beetle infestation levels (0, 3, 6 and 9 beetles/plant). In both years, wild bees contributed significantly to high fruit yields, and exclusive visitation from wild bees increased yield by a factor of 1.5–3 compared to honeybees. In 2021, pollination was the only significant factor for fruit set and marketable yield even when compared to the varying beetle infestation levels. These data advocate for a reprioritization of management, to conserve and protect wild bee pollination, which could be more critical than avoiding pest damage for ensuring high yields.
Superconducting Gap Renormalization around two Magnetic Impurities: From Shiba to Andreev Bound States

description: We study the renormalization of the gap of an s-wave superconductor in the presence of two magnetic impurities. For weakly bound Shiba states, we analytically calculate the part of the gap renormalization that is sensitive to the relative orientation of the two impurity spins. For impurities with a strong exchange coupling to the conduction electrons, we solve the gap equation self-consistently by numerics and find that the sub-gap Shiba state turns into a supra-gap Andreev state when the local gap parameter changes sign under the impurities.

description: The aim of this deliverable is to illustrate the progress of the Patient's Mobile App and Physician's Web System development by focusing on presenting their implemented GUIs and the plans for the final GUIs for features that are not yet supported and will be supported by M36. The development is being held in accordance with approved UI (User Interface design) /UX (Clickable prototype) guidelines for both Physician's Web System and Patient's Mobile App. The process is being performed in three directions simultaneously: Front-end development, back-end development, and mobile (Android) app development. The front-end is the user interface of the Physician’s Web System; mobile - is the development of an Android mobile app for patients and the back-end - creating logic and connection between all components of the system, including Case Manager (CM) and Data Platform (DP). The progress of GUI development is highly dependent on the performance of all CAPABLE components (including decision support system, DP, and CM). Therefore we continue to connect User Interface scenarios in accordance with the development progress of the CAPABLE system components.

Comptonizing Efficiencies of IGR 17091-3624 and its similarity to GRS 1915+105

description: Variability classes in the enigmatic black hole candidate GRS 1915+105 are known to be correlated with the variation of the Comptonizing Efficiency (CE) which is defined to be the ratio between the number of power-law (hard) photons and seed (soft) photons injected into the Compton cloud. Similarities of light curves of several variability classes of GRS 1915+105 and IGR 17091-3624, some of which are already reported in the literature, motivated us to compute CE for IGR 17091-3624 as well. We find that they are similar to what were reported earlier for GRS 1915+105, even though masses of these objects could be different. The reason is that the both the sizes of the sources of the seed photons and of the Comptonizing corona scale in the same way as the mass of the black hole. This indicates that characterization of variability classes based on CE is likely to be black hole mass independent, in general.

description: We study a wide class of finite-dimensional su(m|n)-supersymmetric models closely related to the representations of the Yangian Y(sl(m|n)) labeled by border strips. We quantitatively analyze the degree of degeneracy of these models arising from their Yangian invariance, measured by the average degeneracy of the spectrum. We compute in closed form the minimum average degeneracy of any such model, and show that in the non-supersymmetric case it can be expressed in terms of generalized Fibonacci numbers. Using several properties of these numbers, we show that (except in the simpler su(1|1) case) the minimum average degeneracy grows exponentially with the number of spins. We apply our results to several well-known spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type, quantitatively showing that their degree of degeneracy is much higher than expected for a generic Yangian-invariant spin model. Finally, we show that the set of distinct levels of a Yangian-invariant spin model is described by an effective model of quasi-particles. We study this effective model, discussing its connections to one-dimensional anyons and properties of generalized Fibonacci numbers.
