PORTS - INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT

The purpose of this introductory chapter is to introduce and stress a few basic points which need to be made at the beginning. Many of these points will be repeated and amplified at later stages

Seaports are areas where there are facilities for berthing or anchoring ships and where there is the equipment for the transfer of goods from ship to shore or ship to ship

Port management which plays a crucial role in international trade and commerce falls in the department of logistics. As almost 90% of world's overall trade is done through sea route, these ports need to be managed well.

When trade across countries flourished, movement of freight by means of ships was considered the most cost effective means of transport. This increased the need of professionals in this area to manage port activities.

description: Discrete curvatures are quantities associated to the nodes and edges of a graph that reflect the local geometry around them. These curvatures have a rich mathematical theory and they have recently found success as a tool to analyze networks across a wide range of domains. In this work, we consider the problem of constructing graphs with a prescribed set of discrete edge curvatures, and explore the space of such graphs. We address this problem in two ways: first, we develop an evolutionary algorithm to sample graphs with discrete curvatures close to a given set. We use this algorithm to explore how other network statistics vary when constrained by the discrete curvatures in the network. Second, we solve the exact reconstruction problem for the specific case of Forman-Ricci curvature. By leveraging the theory of Markov bases, we obtain a finite set of rewiring moves that connects the space of all graphs with a fixed discrete curvature.

description: In meiner Diplomarbeit geht es um Grundvorstellungen zu Prozent- und Bruchrechnung. Doch wozu werden diese überhaupt benötigt? Bereits im Mathematikunterricht der Unterstufe werden Grundvorstellungen oft zu wenig behandelt, dies betrifft insbesondere den Bereich der Prozent- und Bruchrechnung. Viele Schülerinnen und Schüler entwickeln keine Vorstellungsebene zu Brüchen und Prozenten, wenn zu rasch zur formalen Ebene übergegangen wird. Die negativen Folgen können gravierend sein. Grundvorstellungen dienen als Basis, um mathematische Begrifflichkeiten verstehen zu können. Das Vorhandensein von Grundvorstellungen ist die notwendige Voraussetzung für die Kompetenz, formale Rechenverfahren erfolgreich in unterschiedlichen Problemsituationen anwenden zu können. In meiner Arbeit werden Vorschläge für kompetenzorientierten Unterricht erarbeitet. Durch systematische Auseinanderlegung und Benennung einzelner Grundvorstellungen wird eine Hilfestellung für die Unterrichtsplanung gegeben und das Verständnis der Lernenden ausgeweitet. Ziel ist es, Defizite der Schülerinnen und Schüler auszugleichen und ihnen die Angst vor dem Mathematikunterricht zu nehmen.

description: We present an estimate of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) detector polarization angle systematic uncertainty from optics perturbation analysis using polarization-sensitive ray tracing in CODE V optical design software. Uncertainties in polarization angle calibration in CMB measurements can limit constraints on cosmic birefringence and other cosmological parameters sensitive to polarization leakage. Our framework estimates the angle calibration systematic uncertainties from possible displacements in lens positions and orientations, and anti-reflection coating (ARC) thicknesses and refractive indices. With millimeter displacements in lens positions and percent-level perturbations in ARC thicknesses and indices from design, we find the total systematic uncertainty for three ACT detector arrays operating between 90--220 GHz to be at the tenth of degree scale. Reduced lens position and orientation uncertainties from physical measurements could lead to a reduction in the systematic uncertainty estimated with the framework presented here. This optical modeling may inform polarization angle systematic uncertainties for current and future microwave polarimeters, such as the CCAT Observatory, Simons Observatory, and CMB-S4.

description: EuCd_{2}As_{2} has attracted considerable interest as one of the few magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate materials, although recently there have been emerging reports that claim it to have a semiconducting electronic structure. To resolve this debate, we established the growth of n-type EuCd_{2}As_{2} crystals, to directly visualize the nature of the conduction band using angle resolve photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We show that La-doping leads to n-type transport signatures in both the thermopower and Hall effect measurements, in crystals with doping levels at 2 - 6 x 10^{17} e^{-} cm^{-3}. Both p-type and n-type doped samples exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering at 9 K. ARPES experiments at 6 K clearly show the presence of the conduction band minimum at 0.8 eV above the valence band maximum, which is further corroborated by the observation of a 0.71 - 0.72 eV band gap in room temperature diffuse reflectance absorbance measurements. Together these findings unambiguously show that EuCd_{2}As_{2} is indeed a semiconductor with a substantial band gap and not a topological semimetal.

description: A hallmark of unconventional superconductors is their complex electronic phase diagrams where "intertwined orders" of charge-spin-lattice degrees of freedom compete and coexist as in copper oxides and iron pnictides. While the electronic phase diagram of kagome lattice superconductor such as CsV3Sb5 also exhibits complex behavior involving coexisting and competing charge density wave order and superconductivity, much is unclear about the microscopic origin of superconductivity. Here, we study the vortex lattice (VL) in superconducting state of Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5, where the Ta-doping suppresses charge order and enhances superconductivity. Using small-angle neutron scattering, a strictly bulk probe, we show that the VL exhibits a strikingly conventional behavior. This includes a triangular VL with a period consistent with 2e-pairing, a field dependent scattering intensity that follows a London model, and a temperature dependence consistent with a uniform superconducting gap expected for s-wave pairing. These results suggest that optimal bulk superconductivity in Cs(V1-xTax)3Sb5 arises from a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer electron-lattice coupling, different from spin fluctuation mediated unconventional copper and iron based superconductors.

Fraser (1911) found hydranths with medusa buds, but no free medusae were observed by him. Brinckmann- Voss (1979) raised medusae from hydroids identified as Endocrypta huntsmani, and referred them to the genus Bythotiara Günther, 1903, as B. huntsmani. That binomen is currently recognized as valid (Arai & Brinckmann- Voss 1980; Cairns et al. 2002; WoRMS).
The specific name honours Archibald Gowanlock Huntsman (1883–1973), a noted Canadian marine biologist who first discovered the hydroid stage of this species in stomodea of ascidians and brought it to the attention of Fraser.

description: Variational quantum algorithms, inspired by neural networks, have become a novel approach in quantum computing. However, designing efficient parameterized quantum circuits remains a challenge. Quantum architecture search tackles this by adjusting circuit structures along with gate parameters to automatically discover high-performance circuit structures. In this study, we propose an end-to-end distributed quantum architecture search framework, where we aim to automatically design distributed quantum circuit structures for interconnected quantum processing units with specific qubit connectivity. We devise a circuit generation algorithm which incorporates TeleGate and TeleData methods to enable nonlocal gate implementation across quantum processing units. While taking into account qubit connectivity, we also incorporate qubit assignment from logical to physical qubits within our quantum architecture search framework. A two-stage progressive training-free strategy is employed to evaluate extensive circuit structures without circuit training costs. Through numerical experiments on three VQE tasks, the efficacy and efficiency of our scheme is demonstrated. Our research into discovering efficient structures for distributed quantum circuits is crucial for near-term quantum computing where a single quantum processing unit has a limited number of qubits. Distributed quantum circuits allow for breaking down complex computations into manageable parts that can be processed across multiple quantum processing units.
title: Muslimische Jugendliche in Österreich
Creators: name: Abu-Hamdeh, Tamara
Year: 2012

description: Die Forschungsarbeit befasst sich mit der besonderen Bedeutung der Religion im alltäglichen Leben junger Muslime in Österreich. Die Analyse bezieht sich dabei auf jene muslimischen Jugendlichen, die im frühen Kindesalter nach Österreich kamen oder schon hier geboren wurden und soll in erster Linie das Aufwachsen zwischen zwei Kulturen und Religionen beschreiben. Um einen Einblick in die Erfahrungen der Jugendlichen zu gewinnen, wurden zwölf Interviews mit Muslimen im Alter von 20 bis 26 Jahren geführt. Aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln wird der Grad der Religiosität sowie die Auslebung religiöser Praktiken untersucht. Dabei werden verschiedene Faktoren erkannt, die großen Einfluss auf die Religiosität der Jugendlichen haben. Neben der Mitgliedschaft in religiösen Vereinen und den Erfahrungen, die im islamischen Religionsunterricht gemacht wurden, wird vor allem auf das Familienleben eingegangen, das für viele der Jugendlichen die größte Rolle in der Bildung der Religiosität spielt. Auf der anderen Seite wird das gesellschaftliche Leben der Jugendlichen, im Speziellen die inner- und interreligiöse Kontaktaufnahme, betrachtet. Hierbei wird vor allem der Frage nachgegangen, ob die Jugendlichen Präferenzen hinsichtlich der Freundschaftswahl haben und ob diese Wahl mit dem Grad ihrer Religiosität begründet werden kann. Ein weiterer Themenschwerpunkt befasst sich mit dem Konflikt der Vereinbarkeit zweier Gesellschaftsformen, die durch verschiedene Religionen geprägt werden. Das Zusammenspiel beider Kulturkreise stellt für viele Jugendliche eine Herausforderung dar und geht mit einer Empfindung einher, die häufig als „Zwei-Welten-Gefühl“ beschrieben wird. Nicht selten begeben sich diese Jugendlichen auf eine Identitätssuche, die oft mit dem Bedürfnis nach Zugehörigkeit verbunden ist. Durch ständige Selbstreflexion kreieren die Jugendlichen aus beiden Religionen und Kulturen ihre eigene Identität. Im Vordergrund steht hierbei vor allem die Konzentration auf die Gemeinsamkeiten der Religionen und Kulturen und nicht auf die Unterschiede. Nur auf diese Weise können sie Vorurteile beider Seiten bewältigen, zwischen den Gesellschaftsformen vermitteln, und das „Zwei-Welten Gefühl“ überwinden.

description: Designing control policies for stabilization tasks with provable guarantees is a long-standing problem in nonlinear control. A crucial performance metric is the size of the resulting region of attraction, which essentially serves as a robustness "margin" of the closed-loop system against uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a new method to train a stabilizing neural network controller along with its corresponding Lyapunov certificate, aiming to maximize the resulting region of attraction while respecting the actuation constraints. Crucial to our approach is the use of Zubov's Partial Differential Equation (PDE), which precisely characterizes the true region of attraction of a given control policy. Our framework follows an actor-critic pattern where we alternate between improving the control policy (actor) and learning a Zubov function (critic). Finally, we compute the largest certifiable region of attraction by invoking an SMT solver after the training procedure. Our numerical experiments on several design problems show consistent and significant improvements in the size of the resulting region of attraction.

description: We introduce the realized exponential GARCH model that can use multiple realized volatility measures for the modeling of a return series. The model specifies the dynamic properties of both returns and realized measures, and is characterized by a flexible modeling of the dependence between returns and volatility. We apply the model to 27 stocks and an exchange traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 index and find specifications with multiple realized measures that dominate those that rely on a single realized measure. The empirical analysis suggests some convenient simplifications and highlights the advantages of the new specification.

description: Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 is a ubiquitous human infection, with increased prevalence in obese populations. Obesity has been linked to increased inflammation, susceptibility to infection, and higher rates of anxiety disorder and cognitive impairment. To determine how obesity alters neuroinflammation and behavior following infection, we infected weanling C57BL/6 or CCR2(RFP/+)/CX3CR1(GFP/+) mice with a very low dose of HSV-1. Following viral latency (14days post infection (d p.i.)), mice were randomly assigned to remain on the low fat (LF) diet or switched to a 45% high fat (HF) diet. Eight weeks post diet shift, latently infected mice on the HF diet (HSV-HF) had greater microglial activation and infiltration of inflammatory CCR2(+) monocytes in the hypothalamus and dentate gyrus, in comparison to both HSV-LF mice and uninfected mice on LF and HF diets. VCAM staining was present in hypothalamus and hippocampus of the HSV-HF mice in the areas of monocyte infiltration. Infiltrating monocytes also produced proinflammatory cytokines demonstrating that, along with activated microglia, monocytes contribute to sustained neuroinflammation in latently infected obese mice. Utilizing a light-dark preference test, we found that HSV-HF mice had increased anxiety-like behavior. In the marble-burying test, HF diet and HSV infection resulted in increased numbers of buried marbles. Together, these mice provide a useful, testable model to study the biobehavioral effects of obesity and latent HSV-1 infection in regards to anxiety and may provide a tool for studying diet intervention programs in the future.

Creators: name: Zechmeister, Julia
Year: 2012

description: Im Verlauf der Geschichte der europäischen Stadt haben sich gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse und Umbrüche in das Stadtbild eingeschrieben. Mit dem Erkennen der Zugänglichkeit zu hygienischen Wohnverhältnissen als ‚soziale Frage’ entwickelten Architekten Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts die ersten Stadtmodelle für neue Formen des Zusammenlebens. Besonders erfolgreich erwiesen sich die Stadtutopien der ‚Moderne’ in der Zwischenkriegszeit, die auf der Funktionstrennung (Wohnen, Arbeiten, Freizeit) beruhten und zu einer wesentlichen theoretischen Grundlage für den Wiederaufbau und die Stadterweiterung in Deutschland und Österreich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden. In den 1960er und 1970er Jahren versprachen die Ideen der als politisch ‚unbelastet’ geltenden ‚Moderne’ eine gute Möglichkeit, für die jungen Demokratien ein weit sichtbares Zeichen für eine ideologiefreie Gesellschaft zu setzen. Doch wie so oft ließ sich die theoretische Konzeption nicht ohne Abstriche in die Realität umsetzen und so beschäftigt sich vorliegende Arbeit erstens mit der Entstehungsgeschichte der modernen Städtebauleitbildern und geht zweitens der Frage nach, welche Kritikpunkte aus politik- und sozialwissenschaftlichem Blickwinkel sich aus dieser Überführung ergeben haben.
Unequal inequalities: Do progressive taxes reduce income inequality?

description: This paper analyzes the effect of changes in the structural progressivity of national income tax systems on observed and actual income inequality. Using several unique measures of progressivity over the 1981–2005 period for a large panel of countries, we find that progressivity reduces inequality in observed income, but has a significantly smaller impact on actual inequality, approximated by consumption-based Ginis. An empirical comparative analysis shows that the differential effect on observed versus actual inequality is much larger in countries with weaker legal institutions. We also find that structural progressivity has a greater equalizing effect in environments that support pro-poor redistribution. Substantial differences in inequality response to changes in top versus bottom rates are also uncovered.

description: Large-scale survey tools enable the collection of citizen feedback in opinion corpora. Extracting the key arguments from a large and noisy set of opinions helps in understanding the opinions quickly and accurately. Fully automated methods can extract arguments but (1) require large labeled datasets that induce large annotation costs and (2) work well for known viewpoints, but not for novel points of view. We propose HyEnA, a hybrid (human + AI) method for extracting arguments from opinionated texts, combining the speed of automated processing with the understanding and reasoning capabilities of humans. We evaluate HyEnA on three citizen feedback corpora. We find that, on the one hand, HyEnA achieves higher coverage and precision than a state-of-the-art automated method when compared to a common set of diverse opinions, justifying the need for human insight. On the other hand, HyEnA requires less human effort and does not compromise quality compared to (fully manual) expert analysis, demonstrating the benefit of combining human and artificial intelligence.

description: Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, secretes and releases adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT), which is a protein bacterial toxin that targets host cells and disarms immune defenses. ACT binds filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA), a surface-displayed adhesin, and until now, the consequences of this interaction were unknown. A B. bronchiseptica mutant lacking ACT produced more biofilm than the parental strain; leading Irie et al. to propose the ACT-FHA interaction could be responsible for biofilm inhibition. Here we characterize the physical interaction of ACT with FHA and provide evidence linking that interaction to inhibition of biofilm in vitro. Exogenous ACT inhibits biofilm formation in a concentration-dependent manner and the N-terminal catalytic domain of ACT (AC domain) is necessary and sufficient for this inhibitory effect. AC Domain interacts with the C-terminal segment of FHA with ∼650 nM affinity. ACT does not inhibit biofilm formation by Bordetella lacking the mature C-terminal domain (MCD), suggesting the direct interaction between AC domain and the MCD is required for the inhibitory effect. Additionally, AC domain disrupts preformed biofilm on abiotic surfaces. The demonstrated inhibition of biofilm formation by a host-directed protein bacterial toxin represents a novel regulatory mechanism and identifies an unprecedented role for ACT.

description: Liquid scintillators are typically composed from organic compounds dissolved in organic solvents. However, usage of such material is often restricted due to fire safety and environmental reasons. Because of this, R\&D of water-based liquid scintillators is of extreme relevance; yet, no such scintillators have been made commercially available as yet. Here, we investigate an alternative, water-based quantum dots liquid scintillator. Pre-determined and controllable optical properties of the quantum dots, as well as the existence of large libraries of established protocols for their dispersion in aqueous solutions, make them an attractive option for nuclear and particle physics applications. We characterize the optical properties of water-based quantum dots liquid scintillator and find that most of its optical properties are preserved upon quantum dots' phase transfer into water, through the addition of an oleic acid hydrophilic layer. Using the developed scintillator, the time and charge responses from atmospheric muons are measured, highlighting the practical viability of water-based quantum dots liquid scintillators for nuclear and particle physics, special interest on neutrino physics.

Remarks. In establishing Hydractinia armata, Fraser (1940b) failed to designate name-bearing types. Specimens located at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00213-001; BCPM 976-00214-001) during this study, from the two original type localities near Moss Beach, California, are considered syntypes here. We designate the best of the available syntype colonies as the lectotype herewith (RBCM 976-00213-002).
Hydractinia armata, taken to be valid (Cairns et al. 2002; Mills et al. 2007; WoRMS), has been reported southwards to San Nicolas Island, California (Fraser 1948), and northwards to a tidepool at Race Rocks, British Columbia, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca (Brinckmann-Voss 1996). Its spines, very numerous, are noteworthy in being long, smooth, and nearly cylindrical up to a tapered point, with a series of internal annular thickenings (Fraser 1940b).

title: Affektive und kognitive Theory of Mind bei Patienten mit Morbus Parkinson unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der exekutiven Funktionen und des Entscheidungsverhaltens unter Risiko
Creators: name: Stimakovits, Christine Nathalie
Year: 2012

description: Die Theory of Mind (ToM) beschreibt die Fähigkeit, die mentalen Zustände wie Überzeugungen, Wünsche und Absichten von anderen zu verstehen (Siegal & Varley, 2002). Bisherige Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass die ToM bei Patienten mit Morbus Parkinson (MP) beeinträchtigt sein kann (Saltzman et al., 2000; Mengelberg & Siegert, 2003; Péron et al, 2009; Bodden et al., 2010a). Außerdem konnten signifikante Unterschiede zwischen gesunden Teilnehmern und Patienten mit MP in den Exekutivfunktionen (Euteneuer et al., 2009; Bodden et al., 2010a) sowie dem Entscheidungsverhalten unter Risiko (Brand et al., 2004; Euteneuer et al, 2009) beobachtet werden. Jedoch lassen die bisher gefundenen Ergebnisse auf Grund der unterschiedlichen Stichproben sowie der nicht einheitlichen Untersuchung der ToM keine Verallgemeinerung zu. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die affektive und kognitive ToM bei Patienten mit MP in unterschiedlichen Krankheitsstadien zu untersuchen, wobei auch die exekutiven Funktionen sowie das Entscheidungsverhalten unter Risiko berücksichtigt wurden, um zu überprüfen, in wie weit diese mit der ToM zusammenhängen. Insgesamt wurden dafür 47 Patienten mit MP und 54 gesunde Personen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigten dabei keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der kognitiven ToM. Jedoch schnitten die gesunden Teilnehmer im Vergleich zu den Patienten mit MP in der affektiven ToM bedeutend besser ab, wobei keine Unterschiede zwischen den Patienten mit MP im frühen und jenen im fortgeschrittenen Stadium beobachtet werden konnten. Außerdem wurden keine signifikanten Zusammenhänge der ToM mit den Exekutivfunktionen, außer der Regelerkennung, sowie dem Entscheidungsverhalten unter Risiko gefunden.

description: Global rates of mental health concerns are rising, and there is increasing realization that existing models of mental health care will not adequately expand to meet the demand. With the emergence of large language models (LLMs) has come great optimism regarding their promise to create novel, large-scale solutions to support mental health. Despite their nascence, LLMs have already been applied to mental health related tasks. In this paper, we summarize the extant literature on efforts to use LLMs to provide mental health education, assessment, and intervention and highlight key opportunities for positive impact in each area. We then highlight risks associated with LLMs' application to mental health and encourage the adoption of strategies to mitigate these risks. The urgent need for mental health support must be balanced with responsible development, testing, and deployment of mental health LLMs. It is especially critical to ensure that mental health LLMs are fine-tuned for mental health, enhance mental health equity, and adhere to ethical standards and that people, including those with lived experience with mental health concerns, are involved in all stages from development through deployment. Prioritizing these efforts will minimize potential harms to mental health and maximize the likelihood that LLMs will positively impact mental health globally.

description: Linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the North American diet and is a precursor to circulating bioactive fatty acid metabolites implicated in brain disorders. This exploratory study tested the effects of increasing dietary LA on plasma and cerebral cortex metabolites derived from LA, its elongation-desaturation products dihomo-gamma linolenic (DGLA, 20:3n-6) acid and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6), as well as omega-3 alpha-linolenic (α-LNA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). Plasma and cortex were obtained from rats fed a 0.4%, 5.2% or 10.5% energy LA diet for 15 weeks and subjected to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Total oxylipin concentrations, representing the esterified and unesterified pool, and unesterified oxylipins derived from LA and AA were significantly increased and EPA metabolites decreased in plasma at 5.2% or 10.5% energy LA compared to 0.4% energy LA. Unesterified plasma DHA metabolites also decreased at 10.5% energy LA. In cortex, total and unesterified LA and AA metabolites increased and unesterified EPA metabolites decreased at 5.2% or 10.5% LA. DGLA and α-LNA metabolites did not significantly change in plasma or cortex. Dietary LA lowering represents a feasible approach for targeting plasma and brain LA, AA, EPA or DHA-derived metabolite concentrations.
Symmetry, Superposition and Fragmentation in Classical Spin Liquids: A General Framework and Applications to Square Kagome Magnets

description: Classical magnets exhibit exotic ground state properties such as spin liquids and fractionalization, promising a manifestation of superposition and projective symmetry construction in classical theory. While system-specific spin-ice or soft-spin models exist, a formal theory for general classical magnets remains elusive. Here, we introduce a generic symmetry group construction built from a vector field in a plaquette of classical spins, demonstrating how classical spins superpose in irreducible representations (irreps) of the symmetry group. The corresponding probability amplitudes serve as order parameters and local spins as fragmented excitations. The formalism offers a many-body vector field representation of diverse ground states, including spin liquids and fragmented phases described as degenerate ensembles of irreps. We apply the theory to a frustrated square Kagome lattice, where spin-ice or soft spin rules are inapt, to describe spin liquids and fragmented phases, all validated through irreps ensembles and unbiased Monte Carlo simulation. Our generic theory sheds light on previously unknown aspects of spin-liquid phases and fragmentation and broadens their applications to other branches of field theory.

title: Die Europawahl 2009 in Österreich
Creators: name: Brandl, Angela
Year: 2012

description: Das Europäische Parlament ist die einzig direkt gewählte Institution der Europäischen Union. Die EU-Bürgerinnen und Bürger können die Abgeordneten alle fünf Jahre ins Europäische Parlament wählen. Die erste Europawahl in Österreich fand 1996, ein Jahr nach dem Beitritt 1995, statt. Danach wurden 1999, 2004 und 2009 Europawahlen abgehalten. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Europawahl 2009 in Österreich und mit der Frage, ob diese Europawahl als Second-order election zu sehen ist. Dafür wurden die Wahlprogramme, Wahlplakate sowie die Internetauftritte der antretenden Parteien näher untersucht und darüber hinaus die Medien-berichterstattung der österreichischen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften seit Jänner 2009 mit Schwerpunkt auf den Zeitraum Mai bis Juni 2009 analysiert. Der Fokus lag bei den Wahlkampfthemen der Parteien, die Art der Medienberichterstattung und die Themen und Personen, die in den Medien Beachtung fanden.
description: The European Parliament is the only directly elected institution of the European Union. The EU-citizens elect the Members of the European Parliament every five years. The first European Elections in Austria were held in 1996, one year after its accession to the EU. After that, the European Elections were held in 1999, 2004 and in 2009. This paper deals with the European Elections of 2009 in Austria and with the question of whether these particular European Elections were a so called Second-order election. Therefore, the election programmes, the election posters as well as the web presence of the parties were analysed. Furthermore, the media coverage by Austrian newspapers and magazines starting from January 2009 but concentrating on the period between May and July 2009 was subject to the research. Focus was placed on the campaign issues of the parties, the manner in which the media was reporting and the issues and persons covered by the media.

description: We explore non-equilibrium processes in two-dimensional conformal field theories (2d CFTs) due to the growth of operators induced by inhomogeneous and homogeneous Hamiltonians by investigating the time dependence of the partition function, energy density, and entanglement entropy. The non-equilibrium processes considered in this paper are constructed out of the Lorentzian and Euclidean time evolution governed by different Hamiltonians. We explore the effect of the time ordering on entanglement dynamics so that we find that in a free boson CFT and RCFTs, this time ordering does not affect the entanglement entropy, while in the holographic CFTs, it does. Our main finding is that in the holographic CFTs, the non-unitary time evolution induced by the inhomogeneous Hamiltonian can retain the initial state information longer than in the unitary time evolution.
