description: Por vezes um ouvinte concebe uma narrativa, que “escuta” graças a aspectos rítmicos, melódicos, harmónicos e formais que uma música contém. Algumas vezes distancia-se da perspectiva oposta, a do compositor que eventualmente deseja que a escuta se “reduza” ao usufruto do som pelo som, das relações intrínsecas na música, sem extravasar para outros contextos. Mas, é certo que, pelo menos desde a Antiga Grécia, a questão da influência, da capacidade de a música mobilizar as emoções dos indivíduos será para muitos um dado adquirido. O carácter inefável da Música pode encontrar na nossa disposição momentânea – ou simplesmente na nossa condição humana – um aliado para a empatia, para a objectivação narrativa que muito tem intrigado musicólogos e, também, especialistas de outras áreas; isto para além de potenciar capacidades criativas em compositores ou outros artistas sonoros.

description: « Danemark : des cours d’empathie obligatoires pour les enfants de 6 à 16 ans rendent les enfants bien meilleurs ! » peut-on lire sur de nombreux blogs d’internet. Face à cette affirmation, notre étude tente d’éclaircir : Dans quelle mesure l’enseignement de moments d’empathie inspirés de la pédagogie danoise permettrait-il de développer l’empathie des élèves vaudois ? Pour ce faire, nous avons tenté de quantifier cette notion complexe qu’est l’empathie au travers de l’indice d’empathie globale et d’émotions (EGE), que nous avons constitué en compilant les scores obtenus par différents questionnaires spécifiques analysant douze composantes principales de l’empathie et les compétences émotionnelles. Nous avons évalué le niveau d’empathie et des compétences émotionnelles de six classes au Danemark, dont une suivant ces fameux cours d’empathie, et six autres en Suisse. Puis nous avons dispensé des cours d’empathie à deux classes en Suisse romande, inspirés de nos observations au Danemark. Nous avons pu, au travers de comparaisons, mettre en évidence que les cours d’empathie au Danemark avaient effectivement un effet significativement positif sur le niveau d’empathie des élèves à savoir une différence de 6 % et 8,5 % pour les compétences émotionnelles. Par contre, nos résultats ont montré qu’il n’y aurait vraisemblablement pas de différence significative entre les scores d’empathie des enfants suisses et danois. Puis, nous avons constaté qu’après la dispense de nos cours d’empathie en Suisse romande, les élèves ont pu significativement augmenter leur niveau d’empathie de près de 7 % en moyenne, et leurs compétences émotionnelles de 16 % après seulement quatre mois d’enseignement. Nous pouvons donc conclure que l’enseignement de moments d’empathie dans le canton de Vaud serait bénéfique pour les enfants et permettrait de développer leurs compétences empathiques et émotionnelles de manière significative et concrète !

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly applied in scientific activities for decades; however, it is still far from an insightful and trustworthy collaborator in the scientific process. Most existing AI methods are either too simplistic to be useful in real problems faced by scientists or too domain-specialized (even dogmatized), stifling transformative discoveries or paradigm shifts. We present an AI research associate for early-stage scientific discovery based on (a) a novel minimally-biased ontology for physics-based modeling that is context-aware, interpretable, and generalizable across classical and relativistic physics; (b) automatic search for viable and parsimonious hypotheses, represented at a high-level (via domain-agnostic constructs) with built-in invariants, e.g., postulated forms of conservation principles implied by a presupposed spacetime topology; and (c) automatic compilation of the enumerated hypotheses to domain-specific, interpretable, and trainable/testable tensor-based computation graphs to learn phenomenological relations, e.g., constitutive or material laws, from sparse (and possibly noisy) data sets.

description: Ultra-high-intensity laser pulse interactions with solid density targets are of central importance
 for modern accelerator physics, Inertial Confinement Fusion(ICF) and astrophysics. In order
 to meet the requirements of real-world applications, a deeper understanding of the underlying
 plasma dynamics, including plasma instabilities and acceleration mechanisms, is needed. X-
 ray radiation plays a substantial role in plasma physics, either as an integral part of a physical
 system itself or as a useful diagnostic, hence it should be included in computational models. This
 thesis aims to introduce X-ray radiation transport to the Particle In Cell simulation software
 PIConGPU. The key outcomes of this work are a Monte Carlo, particle-based, online, and in-situ
 solution to X-ray radiation modelling (enabling, among-others, SAXS and polarimetry synthetic
 experiments), as well as an analytical formulation for multiple-order, coherent X-ray scattering
 within this model. Moreover, the thesis includes three-dimensional simulations of laser-matter
 interactions together with Faraday Rotation and SAXS calculation.

Ionization waves (striations) in a low-current plasma column revisited with kinetic and fluid models
Creators: name: Boeuf, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A one-dimensional Particle-In-Cell Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) method has been used to model the development and propagation of ionization waves in neon and argon positive columns. Low current conditions are considered, i.e. conditions where stepwise ionization or Coulomb collisions are negligible (linear ionization rate). This self-consistent model describes the development of self-excited moving striations, reproduces many of the well-known experimental characteristics (wavelength, spatial resonances, potential drop over one striation, electron "bunching" effect) of the ionization waves called p, r and s waves in the literature and sheds light on their physical properties and on the mechanisms responsible for their existence. These are the first fully kinetic self-consistent simulations over a large range of conditions reproducing the development of p, r and s ionization waves. Although the spatial resonances and the detailed properties of the striations in the non-linear regime are of kinetic nature, the conditions of existence of the instability can be obtained and understood from a linear stability analysis of a three-moment set of quasi-neutral fluid equations where the electron transport coefficients are expressed as a function of electron temperature and are obtained from solutions of a 0D Boltzman equation. An essential aspect of the instability leading to the development of these striations is the non-Mawellian nature of the electron energy distribution function in the uniform electric field prior to the instability onset, resulting in an electron diffusion coefficient in space much larger than the energy diffusion coefficient.

description: Accurate and efficient estimation of the high dimensional channels is one of the critical challenges for practical applications of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). In the context of hybrid analog-digital (HAD) transceivers, channel estimation becomes even more complicated due to information loss caused by limited radio-frequency chains. The conventional compressive sensing (CS) algorithms usually suffer from unsatisfactory performance and high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning (DL) based framework for uplink channel estimation in HAD massive MIMO systems. To better exploit the sparsity structure of channels in the angular domain, a novel angular space segmentation method is proposed, where the entire angular space is segmented into many small regions and a dedicated neural network is trained offline for each region. During online testing, the most suitable network is selected based on the information from the global positioning system. Inside each neural network, the region-specific measurement matrix and channel estimator are jointly optimized, which not only improves the signal measurement efficiency, but also enhances the channel estimation capability. Simulation results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art CS algorithms in terms of estimation performance and computational complexity.

title: Unterrichtsbeispiel: Widerstand gegen den Terror des Nationalsozialismus aus multiperspektiver Sicht
Creators: name: Kummer, Christina
Year: 2023

description: Das didaktische Prinzip der Multiperspektivität hat zum Ziel, Geschichts- und Politikunterricht aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zu vermitteln und Inhalte dahingehend zu diskutieren. Erst langsam nähert sich die Geschichtsdidaktik auch dem Themenkomplex „Holocaust/Shoah“ und „Nationalsozialismus“ multiperspektivisch an. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird eine Unterrichtsreihe vorgestellt, welche multiperspektivisch ausgerichtet ist und die Lebenswelt der Lernenden tangiert. Am Beispiel der Tathergänge am Peršmanhof, einem Bergbauernhof in Bad Eisenkappel/ Kärnten, werden Handlungen und Motivationen sowohl von Widerstandskämpfer:innen und ihren Unterstützer:innen als auch der SS und Ordnungspolizei analysiert und bewertet. Anhand von vielfältigen Quellenmaterial, das neben Gerichtsakten auch aktuelle Medien beinhaltet, werden die Lernenden durch kompetenzorientierte Fragestellungen befähigt, verschiedene Blickpunkte handelnder Akteur:innen zu verstehen und kontextgebunden zu bewerten. Zudem erkennen die Lernenden Zusammenhänge vergangener und gegenwärtiger Diskussionen im Kontext der Minderheitenfrage und -politik im zweisprachigen Teil Kärntens. Neben dem Erwerb historischer und politischer Kompetenzen leistet die Unterrichtsreihe ihren Beitrag zu Demokratieerziehung, da die Schüler:innen mit Inhalten konfrontiert werden, deren Bearbeitung kontextabhängige Handlungsspielräume erkennen lässt und im Sinne der Holocausterziehung ein Andenken an Individuen und Opfergruppen lebendig hält.
title: Die Effekte der Body Positivity Bewegung auf die eigene Körperwahrnehmung und Körperzufriedenheit junger Rezipientinnen und Rezipienten
Creators: name: Regenfelder, Sarah Michelle
Year: 2023

description: Die Selbstdiskrepanztheorie postuliert, dass durch die Rezeption von idealisierten Körperdarstellungen in den Medien Unstimmigkeiten (Diskrepanzen) zwischen dem wahrgenommenen tatsächlichen Selbst, dem idealen Selbst und dem Soll-Selbst entstehen können. Diese Unterschiede beziehungsweise Unstimmigkeiten sollen demnach zu körperlichem Unbehagen und Unzufriedenheit führen. Individuen sind fokussiert darauf den eigenen Körper vorrangig mit Schönheitsidealen in sozialen Medien zu vergleichen und ihr tatsächliches Selbst, ihr ideales Selbst und ihr Soll-Selbst in Einklang zu bringen. Die Selbstwahrnehmung kann somit von der Rezeption medialer Inhalte abhängen und Diskrepanzen können hinsichtlich der Selbstwahrnehmung und dem idealen Wunschkörper entstehen. Auf Basis dieser theoretischen Überlegungen wurde vermutet, dass durch die Rezeption von nicht idealisierten Körperdarstellungen, das bedeutet von körperpositiven Inhalten, solche Diskrepanzen vermindert oder gestoppt werden können, was wiederum die Zufriedenheit mit dem eigenen Körper erhöht. Die Hypothesen wurden in einer experimentellen Studie überprüft. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer bekamen entweder idealisierte Körperdarstellungen, Body-Positivity Inhalte oder neutrale Inhalte zu sehen. Im Anschluss daran wurde die Körperwahrnehmung im Vergleich zum Wunschbild des eigenen Körpers und abschließend die Körperzufriedenheit gemessen.
description: The self-discrepancy theory postulates that the reception of idealized body representations in the media can lead to discrepancies between the perceived actual self, the ideal self and the ought self. These differences or discrepancies are supposed to lead to physical discomfort and dissatisfaction. Individuals are focused on comparing their own body primarily with beauty ideals in social media and on reconciling their actual self, their ideal self and their ought self. Self-perception can thus depend on the reception of media content and discrepancies can arise regarding self-perception and the ideal desired body. Based on these theoretical considerations, it was hypothesized that through the reception of non-idealized body representations, that is, body-positive content, such discrepancies can be reduced or stopped, which in turn increases satisfaction with one's own body. The hypotheses were tested in an experimental study. Participants were shown either idealized body depictions, body positivity content, or neutral content. Subsequently, body perception was measured in comparison to the desired image of one's own body and, finally, body satisfaction.

description: Grossetestean scholarship routinely asserts the inventiveness of the Bishop of Lincoln (c.1170-1253), particularly in reference to the way he attempted to synthesise newly emergent peripatetic philosophy within a distinctly Augustinian theological framework. The result was a highly original, comprehensive epistemology influenced by Grosseteste’s natural philosophic work on optics. The conclusions of this natural philosophy are utterly pervasive upon Grosseteste’s noetic, and to fully appreciate the genius and comprehensiveness of his ‘system’ (if one can indeed call it as such), one must attempt to see the theological implications of combining his epistemology with his ontology; that is, how it fits with his novel cosmogony. This thesis will seek to demonstrate that the theological implications of such a combination are vast. In explicating and combining under-explored constituent ideological parts of Grosseteste’s weltanschauung, such as his assent to the Pseudo-Dionsyian notion of ‘hierarchy’, this thesis will demonstrate that Grosseteste proffers a contemporaneously uncommon, positive anthropology that rests upon humankind’s ability to learn and the concomitant spiritual development such an educational journey entails. Crucially, this ‘journey’ is only possible because of the means by which we can ‘travel’ at all –creation’s divinely orchestrated microcosmistic constitution – and because of our destination – our reunification with God and our potential deification. Finally, in conclusion, this thesis will establish that these implications lead one to surmise that Grosseteste was panentheistic.

Introducing the Expohedron for Efficient Pareto-optimal Fairness-Utility Amortizations in Repeated Rankings

description: We consider the problem of computing a sequence of rankings that maximizes consumer-side utility while minimizing producer-side individual unfairness of exposure. While prior work has addressed this problem using linear or quadratic programs on bistochastic matrices, such approaches, relying on Birkhoff-von Neumann (BvN) decompositions, are too slow to be implemented at large scale. In this paper we introduce a geometrical object, a polytope that we call expohedron, whose points represent all achievable exposures of items for a Position Based Model (PBM). We exhibit some of its properties and lay out a Carathéodory decomposition algorithm with complexity $O(n^2\log(n))$ able to express any point inside the expohedron as a convex sum of at most $n$ vertices, where $n$ is the number of items to rank. Such a decomposition makes it possible to express any feasible target exposure as a distribution over at most $n$ rankings. Furthermore we show that we can use this polytope to recover the whole Pareto frontier of the multi-objective fairness-utility optimization problem, using a simple geometrical procedure with complexity $O(n^2\log(n))$. Our approach compares favorably to linear or quadratic programming baselines in terms of algorithmic complexity and empirical runtime and is applicable to any merit that is a non-decreasing function of item relevance. Furthermore our solution can be expressed as a distribution over only $n$ permutations, instead of the $(n-1)^2 + 1$ achieved with BvN decompositions. We perform experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets, confirming our theoretical results.

LINCing language to critical multiculturalism : pursuing translingual pedagogies in English instruction for newcomers to Canada
Creators: name: Hanks, Robert Kevin Austin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Many newcomers to Canada experience significant difficulties as they adjust to life in their new community, with few being more challenging than their journey to become English speakers. While Canada’s espousal of a welcoming, multicultural national identity, as well as its federally funded Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program, suggest cohesive social integration, the historical consequences of the discourse of neoliberal multiculturalism and language ideologies of monolingualism and standardization that inform the LINC program have only served to assimilate and marginalize newcomers. The disruptions that COVID-19 brought to LINC classes only further complicated and exacerbated many of the issues that newcomers were already facing. However, despite these challenges, the incorporation of digital technologies into the LINC class as a way to adjust to the reality of the pandemic has created a new space outside of the class, yet still within the LINC community, through which a transformative, translingual pedagogy has the potential to take root. With appropriate guidance, the adoption of a translingual pedagogy has the potential to both work against the problematic discourses perpetuating within Canada, as well as improve the students’ English language learning outcomes by providing increased opportunities for digital literacy socialization.

Assessing the evolution and implementation of forest landscape restoration : a review
Creators: name: Kaufmanis, Juliana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The Bonn Challenge is an initiative to restore 350 million hectares of land globally by 2030 guided by a restoration approach called Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). FLR was jointly defined by the WWF and IUCN as a “planned process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human well-being in deforested or degraded forest landscapes”. Given the complexity of the social-ecological systems and the multi-year time frame of FLR projects, designing and managing restoration interventions is a challenge. Furthermore, FLR’s definition includes some terms with no agreed-upon definitions. As such, what FLR means in practical terms, and how FLR projects are being implemented in the field, remains unclear. Lessonlearning is thus critical so managers of FLR projects can adapt in response to feedback, and to suit changing needs, priorities, and conditions as they inevitably evolve through time. This is known as adaptive management and is a central tenet of FLR. However, adaptive management relies on an understanding of what FLR means and what it looks like on the ground. Thus, two decades after the introduction of FLR, in this thesis I seek to review the meaning, challenges, and progress of the FLR approach to help guide future projects. I conduct a systematic review of the literature to, first, undertake a comprehensive global assessment of how FLR is evolving in concept, and second, assess the state of its documented implementation in the field. Using qualitative content analysis, I show that although social themes dominated the FLR discourse in the beginning, ecological themes have become dominant in the last 5 years, showing convergence around a common concern over the quality of restored areas. Furthermore, I find limited detailed reporting on FLR implementation in the field and offer recommendations for improving monitoring and reporting. This research contributes to other efforts aimed at improving shared understanding of the evolving meaning of FLR and knowledge of it implementation in the field. This research may help to inform adaptive management to guide current and future projects through the UN Decade on Restoration (2021-2030) the last decade to achieve the Bonn Challenge target.
Poverty, Work and Punishment: Vagrancy Across the Midlands, c.1824-1900

description: This thesis interrogates sources about vagrants and vagrancy across the workhouses of six poor law unions in the Midlands between 1834 and 1900. Vagrants have been a widely neglected group from poor law studies because their presence in the workhouse was temporary. Although scholars have acknowledged vagrants, their lifestyles, and to some extent their agencies, few have explored the breadth and depth of vagrant lives nor their welfare experiences. Discussions about vagrants are most often framed around the law and their legal removal and these studies are typically centred in London, and the early modern period. This thesis seeks to reconstruct the lives of nineteenth century vagrants both as individuals and as a collective social group. The everyday navigation of poor relief across the Midlands is remodelled through each chapter, informed by wider frameworks of literature spanning traditional poor law histories, media, crime, and folklore, alongside identity studies. As such, the thesis relocates and studies vagrants as they travelled across regions looking for poor relief. Vagrants were complicated selves and traditional histories have added to their complexities, but too often they also created misunderstood definitions by accepting the broad-ranging characteristics for vagrants written into legislation. This thesis shows that the labelling of vagrancy was weaponized, and from a contemporary perspective – a label never told the whole story of the shifting boundaries of community and belonging. In fact, it was the push and pull forces between acute economic circumstances and habitual vagrant lifestyle factors that decided whether a vagrant was considered dangerous to the community. Rarely have historians refined the complexity of vagrant definitions to such an extent as in this thesis. Thus, although vagrants were not included in original poor law legislation, and were an unwanted presence in the workhouse, the lack of regulations about what to do with vagrants was a legal loophole that they exploited to ensure they received welfare. Identifying key themes around vagrant identity through fragmented sources, this thesis bridges the historiographical and methodological gap between traditional poor law histories and New Histories from Below of vagrancy.
title: Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871)
Creators: name: Drahoss, Ursula
Year: 2023

description: In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird das Werk des spätromantischen Künstlers Moritz von Schwind (1804–1871) vom Gesichtspunkt einer „Ungebundenheit“ von Kunstschaffenden im 19. Jahrhundert aus betrachtet. Diese „Ungebundenheit“ ist hier ganz allgemein als eine Art Folgeerscheinung der Französischen Revolution zu definieren: Die Kunst trat aus dem Dienst von Kirche und Adel und begab sich in einen zunehmend vom Bürgertum getragenen Kunst- und Ausstellungsbetrieb. In der kulturwissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung wird von der Ablösung des Hofkünstlers durch den Ausstellungskünstler gesprochen, die in Europa entlang von Entwicklungen in Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft vom 18. zum 20. Jahrhundert zu beobachten ist. Schwind repräsentiert (noch) beide Künstlertypen: Er schuf Werke im Auftrag von Herrscherhäusern in Österreich und Deutschland und machte sich als Freskenmaler einen Namen. Gleichzeitig kam er als autonomer Künstler voran, beteiligte sich an Ausstellungen, verkaufte Bilder und hoffte auf eine Diskussion seines Werks durch die Kunstkritik. Zum Broterwerb lieferte er zudem Bildvorlagen für Verleger von Druck- und Reproduktionsgrafiken sowie für Buchillustrationen. In meiner Forschungsarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Strategien der Bilderfindung und welche Formen der Popularisierung von Kunst bei Schwind zu beobachten ist. Dabei wird das Werk des Künstlers in unterschiedlichen Kontexten untersucht: Der Begriff „Eigenpopularisierung“ beschreibt Schwinds strategisch motiviertes Kunstschaffen sowie das Bekanntmachen und den Verkauf seiner Werke in Eigenregie. Parallel dazu werden „Überschneidungen von Eigen- und Fremdpopularisierung“ aufgezeigt, die bei der Anfertigung von druckgrafischen Reproduktionen nach Schwinds Werken oder im Zusammenhang mit Mäzenatentum als Handlungsgeflecht zwischen dem Künstler und anderen Akteuren zu beobachten sind. Unter der Bezeichnung „Fremdpopularisierung“ werden jene Kontexte untersucht, die darauf verweisen, dass der Künstler ausgeschlossen und sein Werk fremdbestimmt war; dies betrifft auch den posthumen Umgang mit seiner Kunst und die Schwindrezeption nach dem Tod des Künstlers. Durch die Forschungsarbeit hat sich einerseits Schwinds elitäres Popularisierungsmodell von Kunst im 19. Jahrhundert herauskristallisiert – im Sinn eines Kunstschaffens für einen kleinen Publikumskreis, das mit einer idealisierten Vorstellung von Mäzenatentum – im Sinn einer bedingungslosen Förderung von Kunst – verwoben ist. Auf der anderen Seite verdeutlicht die Arbeit, wie Schwind mit den Forderungen einer kunstinteressierten Öffentlichkeit umgeht. Die Arbeit beleuchtet in Form einer Schwind-Monografie viele bereits bekannte kunsthistorische Phänomene unter dem Aspekt der Popularisierung neu.

description: In this paper we present an abstract maximal $L^p$-regularity result up to $T = \infty$, that is tuned to capture (linear) Partial Differential Equations of parabolic type, defined on a bounded domain and subject to finite dimensional, stabilizing, feedback controls acting on (a portion of) the boundary. Illustrations include, beside a more classical boundary parabolic example, two more recent settings: (i) the $3d$-Navier-Stokes equations with finite dimensional, localized, boundary tangential feedback stabilizing controls as well as Boussinesq systems with finite dimensional, localized, feedback, stabilizing, Dirichlet boundary control for the thermal equation.
title: Schüler*innen-Vorstellungen zum Ukraine-Konflikt in Bezug auf geopolitische Leitbilder
Creators: name: Baumer, Stephan
Year: 2023

description: Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, anhand des Ukraine-Konflikts zu untersuchen, inwiefern geopolitische Leitbilder in den Vorstellungen von Schüler*innen verankert sind. Räume werden sozial konstruiert; diesen konstruierten Charakter sollen neben einer modernen Geopolitik auch ein zeitgemäßer Geographie und Wirtschaftskunde (GW)-Unterricht aufdecken und kritisch hinterfragen. Nach einer tiefgehenden Auseinandersetzung mit den historischen und aktuellen Vorstellungswelten der Geopolitik und einer Analyse von Schüler*innen-Vorstellungen kann gezeigt werden, dass gewisse Ordnungsmuster von Macht und Raum vorhanden sind. Zusätzlich wird angestrebt, Ansätze für die Integration dieses Themas in den GW-Unterricht zu entwickeln, um die Schüler*innen in die Lage zu versetzen, die vorhandenen Machtstrukturen der Welt zu erkennen und kritisch zu hinterfragen.
description: By using the example of the Ukraine conflict, the aim of this master's thesis is to examine to what extent geopolitical paradigms are embedded in the perceptions of students. Spaces are socially constructed, and this constructed nature should be uncovered and critically questioned not only within the context of modern geopolitics but also in contemporary geography and economics education. After conducting a thorough investigation into historical and contemporary geopolitical conceptual frameworks as well as analysing students' perspectives, it becomes evident that specific patterns of power and spatial organization are present. Additionally, efforts are made to develop concepts for integrating this topic into geography and economics education, in order to enable students to recognize and critically question the existing power structures of the world.

description: Sensitivity analysis enables powerful gradient‐based mathematical programming techniques in the optimization of electromechanical products with respect to electromagnetic compatibility requirements. We present a sensitivity analysis method based on finite element solutions of both a magnetoquasistatic system in a tree‐cotree gauge and an electrostatic system. A repeated application of the adjoint method ensures a high computational efficiency, which is showcased in a comparison with an earlier approach. Application examples provided are the optimization of a noise filter and the sensitivity computation of a choke with dispersive magnetic core.

description: We study model predictive control for singular differential-algebraic equations with higher index. This is a novelty when compared to the literature where only regular differential-algebraic equations with additional assumptions on the index and/or controllability are considered. By regularization techniques, we are able to derive an equivalent optimal control problem for an ordinary differential equation to which well-known model predictive control techniques can be applied. This allows the construction of terminal constraints and costs such that the origin is asymptotically stable w.r.t. the resulting closed-loop system.
title: Erinnerungs(un)kulturen in sozialen Medien
Creators: name: Kumbaric, Armin
Year: 2023

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema der digitalen Erinnerungskultur und inwieweit diese Inhalte auf Social Media, speziell in Bezug auf die Plattform Instagram vorhanden sind. Dabei stellt die Arbeit einen Vergleich zwischen Erinnerungskultur und Erinnerungsunkultur auf. Ersteres ist dabei jener Begriff, der in der Fachwissenschaft bereits bekannt ist, zweiterer ist ein neu formulierter Begriff aus dieser Arbeit, der aufzeigt, wie erinnerungskulturelle Inhalte falsch wiedergegeben, oder falsch verarbeitet werden. Zudem betrachtet die Arbeit drei konkrete Instagramprofile und inwieweit diese die Themen der Schoa aufbereiten. Es wurde dabei festgestellt, dass zwei der drei Profile, nämlich annefrank.digital, sowie eva.stories eine sehr gute Herangehensweise haben, um die Inhalte speziell Jugendlichen interessant aufzubereiten. Das dritte Profil, ichbinsophiescholl, hatte hingegen Schwierigkeiten damit, zwischen Wahrheit und Fiktion zu unterscheiden, weswegen die Verwendung dieser Inhalte nicht wirklich empfohlen werden kann. Es wurde als Fallbeispiel das Internetphänomen „Yolocaust“, des Künstlers Shahak Shapira untersucht und dabei festgestellt, dass zwar das Resultat aus dem Projekt ein eher positives Ergebnis innehatte, die Umsetzung allerdings als problematisch angesehen werden konnte, da die persönlichen Rechte der dargestellten Personen verletzt wurden und Shapiras Kritik von Interview zu Interview widersprüchlicher wurde. Nichtsdestotrotz hat das Projekt eine Existenzberechtigung und sollte im Diskurs der digitalen Erinnerungskultur thematisiert werden. Aus fachdidaktischer Sicht werden Empfehlungen für die Thematisierung im Geschichteunterricht geliefert, die sich im Anhang finden. Die Arbeit kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Verwendung von Selfies durchaus eine legitime Unterrichtsmethode sein kann, um auf die Bedeutung des Selfies als Quelle hinzuweisen.
title: Do Refugee Students Affect the Academic Achievement of their Peers? Evidence from a Large Urban School District
Creators: name: Morales, Camila
Publisher: name: Georgia Policy Labs

description: Much of the recent debate on refugee resettlement focuses on its perceived adverse effects on local
communities. However, there is sparse credible evidence to either support or refute this perception.
This paper contributes to an emerging literature on the externalities of refugee integration,
providing evidence on how this population affects the behavior and performance of incumbent
students. I leverage variation in the share of refugees within schools and across grades to estimate
the causal effect of having refugee peers on the English Language Arts (ELA) and Math test scores
of non-refugee students. I also estimate refugee peer effects on non-academic outcomes such as
student absenteeism and disciplinary incidents. On average, estimates suggest that increasing the
share of grade-level refugees by 1 percentage point is associated with a 0.01 standard deviation
increase in Math test scores. While I find no effect on average ELA test scores, using nonlinear-in-means specifications I find evidence of negative spillovers in ELA performance among lowachieving students and positive spillovers among high-achieving students.

description: The identification of new molecular insights always drove the research. Data from genetic, molecular biology and biochemistry suggest new directions, open new fields and lead to new discoveries. The significance of these data is, in certain situation, difficult to envision. In this view, physiology could represent one of the possible read-out of the overall complex modifications inside the cell. In particular, electrophysiological analysis shed light on both physiological and pathological conditions in excitable and non-excitable cells. In excitable cell, ion channels, cellular microenvironment, transcription factors and accessory proteins shape the electric profile of the cell. In my PhD, I mainly used this approach to test the effect of mutations associated with arrhythmic diseases (in both cardiac arrhythmia and epilepsy) and of physiopathological remodeling in response to endurance training. In particular, I performed the following projects concerning: - Characterization of the biophysical properties of the hHCN1 L157V mutation found in a patient affected by idiopathic generalized epilepsy. This mutation resulted to decrease the current density and leading to an increased excitability in single neonatal rat cortical neurons. - Analysis of the cardiac endurance training-associated microRNAs (miRNAs) in a trained mouse model and of the role of the muscle-specific miRNAs in modulating membrane excitability in the neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. These results highlights new miRNAs potentially involved in the cardiac electrical remodeling associated with endurance training. - Characterization of the impact of the T78M cav-3 variant found in a cohort of arrhythmic patients. This variant induces modification of several ionic currents leading to a pro-arrhythmogenic profile. The leitmotiv of these projects is the identification of the causes underlying the pathophysiological modification of excitable cells by ion channels, membrane proteins and post-transcriptional molecules.
