description: Emerging evidence has demonstrated an impressive link between physical activity and improved mood. While evidence of beneficial mental health effects of exercise is mounting, doctors, psychologists and other health practitioners are slow to consider exercise and seldom use it as a therapy tool. The present opinion piece argues that, in view of the unsatisfactory mitigation of disease burden and limited long-term effectiveness of the available treatments for depressive disorders, physical exercise and sport deserve far greater consideration and may become a viable measure in the prevention and treatment of depression. The available research findings make a robust case for exercise as a means of protecting and improving mental health as well as physical health. Depression is highly prevalent across the entire lifespan worldwide and has become the leading cause of burden of disability globally (1). Depression is highly debilitating, causing reduced quality of life and severe functional disability, and because of its high rate of recurrence, depression is difficult to treat (2). The therapies available for major depressive disorder remain less than satisfactory, with a significant proportion of people treated for depression remaining refractory to treatment. The long-term effectiveness of pharmacotherapy, such as the administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and psychological treatment, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, remains a matter of debate, and the capacity of these treatments to ameliorate the cumulative burden of depression on society is limited. There is therefore an urgent need to find novel approaches to the prevention and treatment of depression. The major impact of lifestyle on the development of depression often goes unrecognised, and an ever-growing body of research findings suggest a significant contribution of maladaptive lifestyle choices to the pathogenesis of the disorder. Available evidence supports the view that modifiable lifestyle factors, such as diet and physical exercise, should be considered in the management of common mental disorders. Lifestyle-oriented interventions may be capable of reducing the occurrence and severity of depressive disorders and could become targets of health campaigns at population level. Diet and exercise modification has also been suggested as a treatment strategy in the management of depressive disorders arising during the current coronavirus pandemic (3–6). While various nutrients and food bioactives have been claimed to be effective in alleviating depression, evidence of their clinical efficacy is lacking (7–10).

description: Die ersten PISA-Ergebnisse haben in der Schweiz bereits vor 20 Jahren deutlich darlegen können, dass die Effektivität des Schweizer Bildungswesen abhängig von der Integration von Jugendlichen mit unterschiedlich privilegiertem Bildungshintergrund ihrer Eltern ist. Folglich wurde damals als Herausforderung für das Bildungswesen die Integration von Jugendlichen mit unterschiedlich familiären, kulturellen und sozialen Verhältnissen erklärt. Heute steht die Thematik der Bildungsbenachteiligung aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie wieder im Fokus. Länderübergreifende Studien zum Fernunterricht konnten dazu aufzeigen, dass die sozioökonomisch bedingte Bildungsungleichheit Lerneinbußen bei Jugendlichen in höheren Schulstufen in der Domäne Mathematik verstärkte (Helm et al., 2021, S. 75f.). Weiter stellt sich die Frage der Chancengerechtigkeit bei den Hausaufgaben (Moroni et al., 2014, S. 468f.). Wie die elterliche Hausaufgabenhilfe in Mathematik mit dem fachlich-fachdidaktischen Wissen der Eltern zusammenhängt, ist offen.

title: Structural Attributes Associated with the Prevalence of Hate Groups: A State-Level Analysis
Creators: name: Kutneski, Paula Jean
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: With the number of hate groups increasing 54 percent since 2000, it is important to understand what is triggering these groups to form in geographical areas. The current study examined whether structural characteristics predicted the number of hate groups within a state. Using hate group listings from the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report and U. S. Census data from 2000, this study explored a state's racial and ethnic heterogeneity, economic disadvantage, and regional location to explain hate group existence within that state. Employing correlations, Chi-Square analyses, multiple and logistic regressions, and a conjunctive analysis, this study found that a state's diversity does not predict the number of hate groups. Economic disadvantage moderately predicts the existence of hate groups, while a state's regional location strongly predicted the number of hate groups within that state. The conjunctive analysis, however, showed that these effects are highly contextual. Limitations and recommendations are discussed.

title: Investigation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy for the Detection of Breast Cancer
Creators: name: Etnire, Robert Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast offers an alternative to screening mammography which may benefit those women at high risk for breast cancer, women under the age of 40, and those with dense breast tissue. One concern with MRI is the number of high false positives. Coupling MRI with magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS) may lower the number of false positives, and thus improve the diagnostic capabilities of MRI for the clinician. MRS for breast imaging focuses on the total choline containing compounds in the spectra in the suspected breast lesion to analyze areas of concern. The results of the study indicate that MRI helps differentiate potential lesions in the breast from healthy tissue, which is clearly seen in scans containing contrast. Also,MRS helped to confirm if a lesion is malignant by determining the SNR of the lesions,with an SNR of greater than or equal to 2.0 indicating malignancy.

Zwischen Beliefs von Lehrpersonen und den Mathematikleistungen der Schüler*innen konnten empirisch sowohl direkte als auch moderiert durch die Unterrichtsgestaltung indirekte Zusammenhänge aufgezeigt werden (Voss et al., 2011). Dabei wurde zur Operationalisierung von Beliefs vielfach auf Mathematik als Disziplin zurückgegriffen (Laschke & Felbrich, 2008). Eine Ausdifferenzierung nach Kompetenz ist jedoch von Interesse, sobald ein bestimmter Aspekt oder eine bestimmte mathematische Kompetenz wie das Argumentieren im Mathematikunterricht fokussiert wird, weil dieses mit spezifischen Eigenschaften einhergeht und entsprechende Anforderungen an die professionellen Kompetenzen der Lehrpersonen stellt.

description: The European continent is undertaking major economic and infrastructural changes to accommodate the need for swift climate action. An energy transition, through decarbonization of the European energy fleet, is the main objective of many European legislative and political bodies. The energy transition towards renewable energies is actively enhanced by the European Framework for Sustainable Finance. This framework,through the EU Taxonomy, defines what suitable economic activities are and aims to reorient financial flows towards these activities.The aim of this thesis is to explore to what extent the EU Taxonomy enhances the European Energy Transition. Additionally, this thesis meticulously underlines which obstacles the EU Taxonomy inflicts on market participants. Finally, this thesis also offers an in-depth discussion on structural elements which represent a challenge for EU Taxonomy.The findings of the thesis indicate that the current energy transition is unique in its nature,compared to past transitions. Therefore, EU Taxonomy plays a critical role in providing legislative and financial legitimacy for the transition. Through facilitating and redirecting financial means, EU Taxonomy enhances the growth of renewable energies. However,EU Taxonomy is still influenced by certain structural and technological limitations.Geopolitical and socio-economic pressures in herently hinder the speed of the transitionand the impact of the Taxonomy becomes limited. Furthermore, the Taxonomy also imposes certain barriers for market participants. The most critical hurdles include technical uncertainties regarding calculations, as well as the legitimacy of certain threshold values. Additionally, there is a lack of communication regarding reporting standards and the EU Taxonomy still lacks many essential economic activities. However,EU Taxonomy is an evolving system; therefore, it has all the necessary means to delivera swift transition towards a sustainable economy.

description: The purpose of this article is to establish upper and lower estimates for the integral kernel of the semigroup exp(-tP) associated to a classical, strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operator P of positive order on a closed manifold. The Poissonian bounds generalize those obtained for perturbations of fractional powers of the Laplacian. In the selfadjoint case, extensions to t in C_+ are studied. In particular, our results apply to the Dirichlet-to-Neumann semigroup.

description: Implementing a laboratory activity involves a complex interplay among learning goals, available resources, feedback about the existing course, best practices for teaching, and an overall philosophy about teaching labs. Building on our previous work, which described a process of transforming an entire lab course, we now turn our attention to how an individual lab activity on the polarization of light was redesigned to include a renewed emphasis on one broad learning goal: modeling. By using this common optics lab as a concrete case study of a broadly applicable approach, we highlight many aspects of the activity development and show how modeling was used to integrate sophisticated conceptual and quantitative reasoning into the experimental process through the various aspects of modeling: constructing models, making predictions, interpreting data, comparing measurements with predictions, and refining models. One significant outcome is a natural way to integrate an analysis and discussion of systematic error into a lab activity.

description: The mixed spin-(1/2, 1) Ising model on two fully frustrated triangles-in-triangles lattices is exactly solved with the help of the generalized star-triangle transformation, which establishes a rigorous mapping correspondence with the equivalent spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular lattice. It is shown that the mutual interplay between the spin frustration and single-ion anisotropy gives rise to various spontaneously ordered and disordered ground states, which differ mainly in an occurrence probability of the non-magnetic spin state of the integer-valued decorating spins. We have convincingly evidenced a possible coexistence of the spontaneous long-range order with a partial disorder within the striking ordered-disordered ground state, which manifest itself through a non-trivial criticality at finite temperatures as well. A rather rich critical behaviour including the order-from-disorder effect and reentrant phase transitions with either two or three successive critical points is also found.

description: Scanning Probe Microscopy allows for extreme resolution down to the atomic scale. Unfortunately, total scanning range is rather limited, therefore finding a specific position on the sample is tedious. This is an important limitation of many Scanning Probe Microscopes, in particular when the sample has to be removed for some kind of treatment and then re-allocated to characterize the same position where the previous experiment had been performed. In the present work we describe two simple and compact sub micron-precision sample holders that can be easily integrated in to a commercial Scanning Force Microscopy system. The design is based either on a traditional kinematic mounting or on self-adjustment of the sample holder and the upper piece of the piezoelectric scanner as the glue used to assemble the final setup solidifies. With these sample holders a specific sample position is automatically recovered to within about 100 nanometers, and thus well within the typical range of a piezoelectric scanner. Our experimental setup therefore allows ex-situ manipulation of the sample and SFM imaging of the same region without the aid of an optical microscope, positioning marks and tedious re-allocation.

title: Governmentality and the population crisis: bio-political interpretations of American international population control
Creators: name: Poechlauer, Karl
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
The history of the United States Government's international population policy is examined according to a theoretical framework invented by the philosopher-historian Michel Foucault. "The population crisis" of the 1960s and 1970s is analyzed as a discourse involving the production of knowledge and the transmission of power in terms of Foucault's original conceptions of powerknowledge and governmentality. Two major pieces of evidence are considered: United States Senate hearings from 1965 titled "Population Crisis," and a 1974 National Security Council study memorandum titled "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." Conclusions about the meaning and nature of the population crisis as a discourse are drawn from an analysis of the metaphors and narratives that these sources reflect, and the operation of this discourse upon individuals and populations in the developing world is interpreted in relation to Foucault's bio-politics.

description: The physical properties of polycrystalline Ce3-xTe4 were investigated by measurements of the thermoelectric properties, Hall coefficient, heat capacity, and magnetization. The fully-filled, metallic x=0 compound displays a soft ferromagnetic transition near 4K, and analysis of the corresponding heat capacity anomaly suggests a doublet ground state for Ce^{3+}. The transition is suppressed to below 2K in the insulating x=0.33 composition, revealing that magnetic order in Ce3-xTe4 is driven by an RKKY-type interaction. The thermoelectric properties trend with composition as expected from simple electron counting, and the transport properties in Ce3Te4 are observed to be similar to those in La3Te4. Trends in the low temperature thermal conductivity data reveal that the phonons are efficiently scattered by electrons, while all compositions examined have a lattice thermal conductivity near 1.2W/m/K at 200K.

Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description: "
High Northern latitudes are predicted to change considerably in forthcoming climate scenarios, and empirical evidence detailing a species' capacity to cope with extreme variability is needed. Tundra plants make for an excellent study because their genetic histories were impacted by the dramatic transitions of historic glacial and interglacial ages. Here, thousands of restriction site-associated DNA (RAD) markers from geographically isolated Alaskan (Arctic) and Coloradan (Alpine) Bistorta vivipara (Polygonaceae) populations are compared in an investigation of evolutionary response to rapid climate change. Non-coding nuclear markers were analyzed in a coalescent framework to estimate an effective ancestral population size (Na) and divergence date (t) of the two populations of ~23 000 individuals and ~140 000 years before present. Nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site (dS) and nonsynonymous site (dN) were calculated for putative orthologous protein-coding sequences to determine the form of selection acting on the subsampled genome in the context of t. Most sequences were either 100% conserved or exhibited dS > dN, suggesting purifying selection. The few sequences suggesting positive selection (dS < dN) were identified as retroelements, which are expected to escape purifying selection. There were two exceptions: a putative protein phosphatase and a kinase involved with steroid signaling. The results suggest genetic adaptation is not a readily apparent option for B. vivipara’s response to climate change. This, and other organisms whose habitats will shift quickly or disappear, may depend on demographic and plastic responses as alternatives to extinction.

description: Entanglement is a resource in quantum information theory when state manipulation is restricted to Local Operations assisted by Classical Communication (LOCC). It is therefore of paramount importance to decide which LOCC transformations are possible and, particularly, which states are maximally useful under this restriction. While the bipartite maximally entangled state is well known (it is the only state that cannot be obtained from any other and, at the same time, it can be transformed to any other by LOCC), no such state exists in the multipartite case. In order to cope with this fact, we introduce here the notion of the Maximally Entangled Set (MES) of n-partite states. This is the set of states which are maximally useful under LOCC manipulation, i.e. any state outside of this set can be obtained via LOCC from one of the states within the set and no state in the set can be obtained from any other state via LOCC. We determine the MES for states of three and four qubits and provide a simple characterization for them. In both cases, infinitely many states are required. However, while the MES is of measure zero for 3-qubit states, almost all 4-qubit states are in the MES. This is because, in contrast to the 3-qubit case, deterministic LOCC transformations are almost never possible among fully entangled four-partite states. We determine the measure-zero subset of the MES of LOCC convertible states. This is the only relevant class of states for entanglement manipulation.

description: An investigation on correlations between photospheric current helicity and subsur- face kinetic helicity is carried out by analyzing vector magnetograms and subsurface velocities for two rapidly developing active regions. The vector magnetograms are from the SDO/HMI (Solar Dynamics Observatory / Helioseismic and Magnetic Im- ager) observed Stokes parameters, and the subsurface velocity is from time-distance data-analysis pipeline using HMI Dopplergrams. Over a span of several days, the evo- lution of the weighted current helicity shows a tendency similar to that of the weighted subsurface kinetic helicity, attaining a correlation coefficient above 0.60 for both ac- tive regions. Additionally, there seems to be a phase lag between the evolutions of the unweighted current and subsurface kinetic helicities for one of the active regions. The good correlation between these two helicities indicate that there is some intrinsic con- nection between the interior dynamics and photospheric magnetic twistedness inside active regions, which may help to interpret the well-known hemispheric preponder- ance of current-helicity distribution.

This thesis introduces ingestible sensors – sensors that can be swallowed – to design ‘ingestible play’. The thesis presents human-computer interaction guidance for the design of such games, contributing to a more playful and humanised technology future.

description: We propose two alternative entanglement concentration protocols (ECPs) using the Faraday rotation of photonic polarization. Through the single-photon input-output process in cavity QED, it is shown that the maximally entangled atomic (photonic) state can be extracted from two partially entangled states. The distinct feature of our protocols is that we can concentrate both atomic and photonic entangled states via photonic Faraday rotation, and thus they may be universal and useful for entanglement concentration in the experiment. Furthermore, as photonic Faraday rotation works in low-$Q$ cavities and only involves virtual excitation of atoms, our ECPs are insensitive to both cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission.

description: Often in our social life, we follow the crowd and conform to a norm that differs from our actual belief because we mistakenly assume that everyone else is a true conformist. This situation, known as Pluralistic Ignorance, takes many forms and leads to many social problems. This thesis proposes agent-based models to explore pluralistic ignorance from different perspectives. The models explored how pluralistic ignorance emerges in groups, how it can spread unpopular norms, or facilitate the rise of a dictator. The models also suggest ways how this can be avoided. This thesis also shows that pluralistic ignorance is closely related to other dysfunctional social-psychological phenomena, including various cognitive biases. By analysing the similarities and causal relationships, common underlying mechanisms found include misperception about other’s genuine opinions, drive to belong to a group and fear of rejection/isolation.

title: The Challenges of the Labor Shortage in Macau’s Hotel Industry
Creators: name: Lei, Lam
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The issue of labor shortage in Macao has been drawing increasing attention due to the expeditious development in these few years. Labor shortage, as one of the biggest challenges to the hotel industry, is posing notable obstacles to the industry development, and has given rise to a number of human resources management difficulties for the hotel industry in Macau. This study reviews the hotel industry development and the labor market environment in Macau, and investigates the current situation of labor shortage within the industry, including the foundational causes and its negative impacts. In addition, there are recommendations of possible implications for both the hotel industry as well as the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government to improve and sustain the future of the hotel industry in Macau.

description: Im Unterschied zu allen anderen Kriegen der Gegenwart hat der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine zahlreiche moralische und politische Statements von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern im Fach der internationalen Beziehungen hervorgerufen. Realistische wie liberale Ansätze deduzieren dabei Erklärungen eher aus ihrem Theoriebestand, als sie aus dem Material zu entwickeln. Der Beitrag schlägt stattdessen eine kritisch-analytische Herangehensweise aus der Perspektive einer historischen politischen Soziologie vor. Während es vor dem Hintergrund der zugänglichen Quellen schwierig ist, den ursächlichen Prozess dieses Krieges genau zu bestimmen, wird versucht, vier Bedingungskomplexe dieses Prozesses zu benennen. Sie berücksichtigen sowohl die geschichtlichen Strukturierungen wie das eigentliche Konflikthandeln. Die Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen und der postimperiale Habitus der politischen Klasse Russlands sind solche strukturierenden Komplexe des Prozesses, während die asymmetrische Figuration Russlands, der Ukraine und der USA sowie das Konflikthandeln im engeren Sinne dynamisierende Bedingungen des Prozesses sind. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem kritischen Ausblick auf die weitere Interpretation des Konflikts und ihre möglichen Effekte auf Krieg und Frieden.

description: Last years have seen a surge of Industrial Symbiosis (IS) development in association with ad-hoc widespread policies to encourage more circular and sustainable practices in the manufacturing sector. Developments in Europe, despite having attracted less attention in the literature, have been significant, driven both by public and private initiative. This paper provides an updated overview of IS activity in Europe, with a mapping of key networks, and a study of prevailing typologies of networks, size, geographical distribution and main streams/ resources traded. The analysis is based on a combination of desk research, gathering of primary data from case studies, a survey to IS network facilitators (n = 22) and in-depth interviews and focus groups (3) with IS practitioners, policy officers and industry representatives (n = 25). The analysis identified pockets of IS activity across all Europe, although varying in nature, resources exchanged and scale and scope of the initiatives. The average size of the mapped networks is approx. 473 members, but the median is approx. 100 members, which indicates high variability of sizes. The geographical scope of the synergies also seems to be dependent upon the following factors: 1) the type of waste stream/by-product; 2) transport costs and 3) market value of secondary materials. Types of waste streams exchanged common to most networks, are chemicals (e.g. chemical base products), biomass and agriculture by-products, wood and wood pellets, plastics, reusable construction materials, equipment, inert waste and water (different qualities including industrial water), residual heat and steam. The paper also discusses key obstacles facing IS development in Europe highlighting: 1) weakness of economic incentives given the low margin of IS projects associated to undeveloped secondary markets; 2) geographical variation of incentives and drivers, given differences in policy frameworks and support mechanisms (e.g. landfill tax levels) and 3) legislative issues that make transport over geographic boundaries extremely complex and administratively burdensome. Finally, the paper concludes with a general discussion of the potential of IS to contribute to the transition to the circular economy (CE) in Europe and identifies some key areas of future research.

description: We construct a vector field E from the real and imaginary parts of an entire function xi (z) which arises in the quantum statistical mechanics of relativistic gases when the spatial dimension d is analytically continued into the complex z plane. This function is built from the Gamma and Riemann zeta functions and is known to satisfy the functional identity xi (z) = xi (1-z). E satisfies the conditions for a static electric field. The structure of E in the critical strip is determined by its behavior near the Riemann zeros on the critical line Re (z) = 1/2, where each zero can be assigned a + or - vorticity of a related pseudo-magnetic field. Using these properties, we show that a hypothetical Riemann zero that is off the critical line leads to a frustration of this "electric" field. We formulate our argument more precisely in terms of the potential Phi satisfying E = - gradient Phi, and construct Phi explicitly. One outcome of our analysis is a formula for the n-th zero on the critical line for large n expressed as the solution of a simple transcendental equation. Riemann's counting formula for the number of zeros on the entire critical strip can be derived from this formula. Our result is much stronger than Riemann's counting formula, since it provides an estimate of the n-th zero along the critical line. This provides a simple way to estimate very high zeros to very good accuracy, and we estimate the 10^{10^6}-th one.
