description: Maya language grammars define the representation of time by the verb as a tense system. Script grammars, on the other hand, present the system as aspectual. This study analyzes the function of aspectual glyphs using a 'Morphosyntactical' procedure which looks at the syntax of the clause and of the verbal morphology. The glyphs examined were T.115, T.125, T.126, T.130, T.142, T.246, T.255, T.340, T.679, and T.683. The inscriptions used, come from the Classic Maya site of Copan, Honduras. This study used the split-ergative model (Schele 1982, Bricker 1986) to analyze clause syntax, and the model given by Kaufman and Norman (1984) to analyze the verbal morphology. This thesis concludes that the split-ergative model represents a more complex phenomenan than has been presented to date in the epigraphic literature. This study also suggests that the morphemes for completive aspect alternate with those for perfective aspect to communicate the transitivity status of the hieroglyphic verbal unit.

description: Background: Only few studies of emergency department (ED) consulters include a longitudinal investigation. The EMACROSS study had surveyed 472 respiratory patients in eight inner-city EDs in Berlin in 2017/2018 for demographic, medical and consultation-related characteristics. This paper presents the results of a follow-up survey at a median of 95 days post-discharge. We aimed to explore the post hoc assessment of ED care and identify potential longitudinal trends. Methods: The follow-up survey included items on satisfaction with care received, benefit from the ED visit, potential alternative care, health care utilization, mental and general health, and general life satisfaction. Univariable between-subject and within-subject statistical comparisons were conducted. Logistic regression was performed for multivariable investigations of determinants of dropout and of retrospectively rating the ED visit as beneficial. Results: Follow-up data was available for 329 patients. Participants of lower education status, migrants, and tourists were more likely to drop out. Having a general practitioner (GP), multimorbidity, and higher general life satisfaction were determinants of response. Retrospective satisfaction ratings were high with no marked longitudinal changes and waiting times as the most frequent reason for dissatisfaction. Retrospective assessment of the visit as beneficial was positively associated with male sex, diagnoses of pneumonia and respiratory failure, and self-referral. Concerning primary care as a viable alternative, judgment at the time of the ED visit and at follow-up did not differ significantly. Health care utilization post-discharge increased for GPs and pulmonologists. Self-reported general health and PHQ-4 anxiety scores were significantly improved at follow-up, while general life satisfaction for the overall sample was unchanged. Conclusions: Most patients retrospectively assess the ED visit as satisfactory and beneficial. Possible sex differences in perception of care and its outcomes should be further investigated. Conceivable efforts at diversion of ED utilizers to primary care should consider patients'views regarding acceptable alternatives, which appear relatively independent of situational factors. Representativeness of results is restricted by the study focus on respiratory symptoms, the limited sample size, and the attrition rate.

description: Depuis sa première parution au printemps de l'année 1782, Les Liaisons Dangereuses a été admiré par de brillants auteurs tels Baudelaire, Gide, et Malraux. Egalement conquis par l'intérêt des Liaisons Dangereuses, la présente étude a pour objet le personnage de Cécile Volanges. Dans la première partie de chaque chapitre, les lettres de Cécile Volanges sont analysées pour en dégager les thèmes majeurs, entre autres ceux de l'individualité, de la dualité entre l'individu et la société, de la dualité entre les sentiments et le devoir. Ces thèmes majeurs sont mis en valeur par des thèmes secondaires; ci tons, parmi ces thèmes, le regard sur soi, le regard sur autrui, l'affinité pour la permanence et le désir de changement, l'ignorance et le désir de savoir, l'attirance vers le réel et vers l'imaginaire et le vacillement entre l' être et le paraître. Ces thèmes nous mènent peu à peu à la découverte de Cécile Volanges. Dans la deuxième partie de chaque chapitre, nous tentons de situer Cécile dans l'espace épistolaire au moyen de cercles concentriques afin de mieux suivre son évolution par rapport aux autres personnages. Bien des critiques de Laclos se sont fondés sur le babillage de Cécile pour conclure que sa nature était enfantine et inintéressante. Pour nous, nous avons étudié de très près les lettres de Cécile afin d'en dégager le sens immanent des mots et des tournures de phrases, et nous avons trouvé que notre personnage est beaucoup plus complexe qu'on ne le pense. Notre analyse est done en partie structurale et porte sur le fonctionnement textuel de la signification et sur le jeu de la manifestation et de l'immanence.

description: Decameter wavelength radio emission is finely structured in solar bursts. For their research it is very important to use a sufficient sensitivity of antenna systems. In this paper we study an influence of the radiotelescope-antenna effective area on the results of decameter solar radio observations. For this purpose we compared the solar bursts received by the array of 720 ground-based dipoles and the single dipole of the radiotelescope UTR-2. It's shown that a larger effective area of the ground-based antenna allows us to measure a weaker solar emission and to distinguish a fine structure of strong solar events. This feature has been also verified by simultaneous ground- and space-based observations in the overlapping frequency range.

description: Der renommierte Grafiker und Eisner Award-Gewinner Philip Craig Russell legt mit seiner Comic-Adaption von Richard Wagners Operntetralogie Der Ring des Nibelungen eine geglückte Symbiose von Metamorphose und originärer Treue vor. Russells Version erliegt nicht der Koketterie, sich an inszenatorischen Vorgaben zu messen, sondern verhilft scheinbar Tradiertem durch einen raffinierten Erzählmodus zu einer neuen Betrachtungsweise. Im Comic können die Einzelbilder sowohl gesondert, als auch im Kontext betrachtet werden. Russell determiniert sein Publikum nicht zu Interpretator*innen am Endpunkt eines erst zu durchlaufenden Initiationsprozesses, sondern macht es wieder zu unmittelbaren Zeug*innen eines Geschehens.

description: We theoretically derive the amplitude equations for a self-propelled droplet driven by Marangoni flow. As advective flow driven by surface tension gradient is enhanced, the stationary state becomes unstable and the droplet starts to move. The velocity of the droplet is determined from a cubic nonlinear term in the amplitude equations. The obtained critical point and the characteristic velocity are well supported by numerical simulations.

description: Background: Cultural competence is considered a core qualification for dealing with socio-cultural diversity and balancing disparities in health care. Objectives: To explore features supporting and inhibiting cultural competence in the hospital at both organisational and staff levels. Design: Cross-sectional online survey in the form of a full census from May to November 2018. Setting: Two organisations that run a total of 22 hospitals in Germany. Participants: Eight hundred nursing and medical professionals [nurses: n = 557; doctors: n = 243]. Methods: Using the Short Form Cultural Intelligence SCALE (SFCQ), cultural competence was measured and its relation to potential influencing factors at staff level and organisational level examined, using bivariate (t-Test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson and Spearman correlations) and multivariate (multiple linear regression) approaches. Model 1 examined features at organisational level, Model 2 at individual level and Model 3 included organisational and individual features. Results: The mean cultural competence measured was 3.49 [min.: 1.3; max.: 5.0]. In the bivariate and isolated multivariate models [Models 1 and 2], factors on both organisational and individual levels were significantly related to the hospital staff's cultural competence. The multivariate overview [Model 3], however, revealed that individual features at staff level were the statistically relevant predictors. Positive influencing features included staff's assessment of the importance of cultural competence in their professional context [B: 0.368, 95% confidence interval 0.307; 0.429], participation in competence training [B: 0.193; 95% confidence interval 0.112; 0.276] and having a migration background [B: 0.175; 95% confidence interval 0.074; 0.278], while negative features included length of medical service [B: -0.004; 95% confidence interval -0.007; -0.001]. Conclusions: The development and practice of cultural competence appear to be determined less by organisational features and more on the level of individual actors. In addition to staff development, adequate organisational structures and an economic incentive system are required to promote sociocultural diversity in hospitals.

description: Background: Depression is the most common mental health burden worldwide. Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a key role in the care provision for people with depression. The first objective of the present study was to examine the health care situation of depression in primary care, focusing on the cooperation between PCPs and mental health specialists. Secondly, we aimed at examining the role of the German S3 Guideline for Unipolar Depression in the primary care provision. Methods: Data of N = 75 PCPs were analysed from a cross-sectional online survey. Analysis of descriptive information on the current status of primary health care and depression was conducted. Further, to examine factors that are related to the usage of guidelines, multiple regression was performed. Results: Only 22.1% of PCPs described the quality of cooperation with ambulatory mental health specialist as good. The most frequent problems in the cooperation were of structural nature (49.3%, long waiting list, few therapy units, as well as barriers in the communication and the information exchange). With regard to the role of the guideline, 65% of PCPs reported never or seldom using the guideline and 31.7% of PCPs perceived the guideline as not useful at all. In addition, perceived usefulness of the S3 guideline was positively associated with the usage of the guideline. Results of the logistic regression revealed a significant association between the usage of the German S3 Guideline for Unipolar Depression and rating of perceived usefulness of the guideline (OR: 4.771; 95% CI: 2.15-10.59; p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study highlights the central role of PCPs and demonstrates major barriers in the outpatient health care provision of depression. Present findings suggest a strong need for collaborative health care models to resolve obstacles resulting from fragmented mental health care systems. Finally, reported perceived barriers in the implementation of the German S3 Guideline for Unipolar Depression indicate the urge to involve PCPs in the development of evidence-based guidelines, in order to ensure a successful implementation and usage of guidelines in clinical practice.

description: The coalescence history of massive black holes has been derived from cosmological simulations, in which the evolution of those objects and that of the host galaxies are followed in a consistent way. The present study indicates that supermassive black holes having masses greater than $\sim 10^{9} M_{\odot}$ underwent up to 500 merger events along their history. The derived coalescence rate per comoving volume and per mass interval permitted to obtain an estimate of the expected detection rate distribution of gravitational wave signals ("ring-down") along frequencies accessible by the planned interferometers either in space (LISA) or in the ground (Einstein). For LISA, in its original configuration, a total detection rate of about $15 yr^{-1}$ is predicted for events having a signal-to-noise ratio equal to 10, expected to occur mainly in the frequency range $4-9 mHz$. For the Einstein gravitational wave telescope, one event each 14 months down to one event each 4 years is expected with a signal-to-noise ratio of 5, occurring mainly in the frequency interval $10-20 Hz$. The detection of these gravitational signals and their distribution in frequency would be in the future an important tool able to discriminate among different scenarios explaining the origin of supermassive black holes.

description: A small-world topology characterizes many complex systems including the structural and functional organization of brain networks. The topology allows simultaneously for local and global efficiency in the interaction of the system constituents. However, it ignores the gradations of interactions commonly quantified by the link weight, w. Here, we identify an integrative weight organization for brain, gene, social, and language networks, in which strong links preferentially occur between nodes with overlapping neighbourhoods and the small-world properties are robust to removal of a large fraction of the weakest links. We also determine local learning rules that dynamically establish such weight organization in response to past activity and capacity demands, while preserving efficient local and global communication.

description: In this paper the problem of assessing bounds on the accuracy of pilot-based estimation of a bandlimited frequency selective communication channel is tackled. Mean square error is taken as a figure of merit in channel estimation and a tapped-delay line model is adopted to represent a continuous time channel via a finite number of unknown parameters. This allows to derive some properties of optimal waveforms for channel sounding and closed form Cramer-Rao bounds.
Photoinduced reordering in thin azo-dye films and light-induced reorientation dynamics of nematic liquid-crystal easy axis

description: We theoretically study the kinetics of photoinduced reordering triggered by linearly polarized (LP) reorienting light in thin azo-dye films that were initially illuminated with LP ultraviolet (UV) pumping beam. The process of reordering is treated as a rotational diffusion of molecules in the light intensity-dependent mean-field potential. The two dimensional diffusion model which is based on the free energy rotational Fokker-Planck equation and describes the regime of in-plane reorientation is generalized to analyze the dynamics of the azo-dye order parameter tensor at varying polarization azimuth of the reorienting light. It is found that, in the photosteady state, the intensity of LP reorienting light determines the scalar order parameter (the largest eigenvalue of the order parameter tensor), whereas the steady state orientation of the corresponding eigenvector (the in-plane principal axis) depends solely on the polarization azimuth. We show that, under certain conditions, reorientation takes place only if the reorienting light intensity exceeds its critical value. Such threshold behavior is predicted to occur in the bistability region provided that the initial principal axis lies in the polarization plane of reorienting light. The model is used to interpret the experimental data on the light-induced azimuthal gliding of liquid-crystal easy axis on photoaligned azo-dye substrates.

description: Der österreichisch-mährische Schriftsteller und Journalist Jakob Julius David thematisierte um 1900 herum in seinen Werken die Beziehung zwischen Bildung und Medien. Trotz seines Engagements blieb er lange Zeit vergessen und wurde erst später als Teil der deutschmährischen bzw. österreichischen Literatur und als Grenzgänger der Wiener Moderne anerkannt. Sein medienkritisches Werk Die Zeitung (1906) zeichnet sich durch eine unsystematische Auseinandersetzung mit den Themenfeldern Bildung und Zeitungen aus. Dieser Beitrag versucht einige Schlaglichter auf Davids medienpädagogische Vorstellungen zu werfen und die Bedeutung von Bildung in seinem Denken sowie die Verbindung zu seinen literarischen und essayistischen Texten zu untersuchen.

The Treatment of fantasy in Katherine Mansfield's short stories

description: One of the under-explored areas in Katherine Mansfield's fictional art is the recurrent use of fantasy. Herbert Gold defines this term as "the dreaming about alternatives which makes men human" (450), while Nadine Gordimer regards it as "a shift in angle" and "a wider lens on ultimate reality" (459-60). Kathryn Hume perceives it more inclusively as "any departure from consensus reality, ... manifested in innumerable variations, from monster to metaphor" (21). Mansfield herself attributes fantasy to the artist's desire "to create his own world in this world" (Journal 273). Three major facts in her life explain her tendency to turn within--her feeling as an outsider ostracized by London literary society, the constant vacillation between a marriage and a Lesbian sisterhood, and the impact of the World War I. Fantasy in her stories functions, first of all, to strengthen the characterization. As she simultaneously believes in and doubts the existence of a unified self, her characters are torn between their indulgence in role­playing and their desire to realize a "true" self. As their subjective vision constantly intrudes onto the objective reality, fantasy becomes a part of characterization. The portrayal of their manifold experiences offers the reader multiple perspectives to probe their psychological depths. Mansfield has repeatedly expressed her preference for a revelation of soul through suggestive gestures. Her world of fantasy is composed of a series of images rich in associative meanings. While her early works mainly center on "dream figures," her later stories shift the focus to the natural world for figurative expression. In presenting such images and symbols in the realm of fantasy, Mansfield unfolds another controversial aspect of life: an unquenchable desire for truth and love mingled with a despair over the unattainability of them. Fantasy is also partially responsible for both the departure from and adherence to tradition in her narrative structure. It has three major structural functions-­additive, subtractive, and contrastive. It reinforces the progression of plot and heightens the effect of thematic conflict by revealing the discrepancy from reality. The point of recognition is reached when the two come to an open confrontation. Resolution is usually expressed in the moment of perception following the climactic clash. In most of her stories, fantasy achieves the intended goal of exploring and commenting on the nature of reality. Two basic features of fantasy--the sincerity in her heroines' pursuit of truth and the indignation against the brutality of existence--help to establish her as one of the serious writers of the twentieth century.

description: Background: The concept of patient navigation was first established in the USA to support vulnerable patient groups in receiving timely and comprehensive access to cancer care. It has recently gained increasing interest in Germany to support patients with chronic diseases in a fragmented healthcare system. The aim of this paper is to present the development of such a model adapted to the German context based on the results of mixed-methods studies investigating the need for and barriers to patient-oriented care. Methods: In a process adapted from Delphi rounds, we conducted regular structured workshops with investigators of the project to discuss results of their studies and identify content and structure of the model based on the data. Workshop discussions were structured along seven core components of a navigation model including target patient groups, navigator tasks, occupational background and education of navigators, and patient-navigator interaction mode. Results: Using an approach based on empirical data of current care practices with special focus on patients' perspectives, we developed a patient-oriented navigation model for patients who have experienced stroke and lung cancer in the German healthcare context. Patients without personal social support were viewed as struggling most with the healthcare system, as well as multimorbid and elderly patients. Navigators should serve as a longer-term contact person with a flexible contact mode and timing based on the individual situation and preferences of patients. Navigator tasks include the provision of administrative and organizational support as well as referral and guidance to available resources and beneficial health programs with special forms of knowledge. Implementation of the navigator should be flexibly located to ensure a reliable outreach to vulnerable patients for first contact in settings like specialized in-patient and out-patient settings, while navigation itself focuses on care coordination in the out-patient setting. Conclusion: Flexibility of navigator tasks needed to be a core characteristic of a navigation model to be perceived as supportive from patients' perspectives. In a subsequent feasibility study, an intervention based on the model will be evaluated according to its acceptance, demand, and practicality.

description: Since the early beginnings of their manufacture, and in recent times the product of West African handloom weaving has survived competition from imported fabrics. This is largely due to the social value of handwoven cloth. This thesis discusses the role of technological change in the survival of handloom weaving in West Africa from c.1300 to 1980 with Southern Ghana as a case study. The thesis focusses especially on changes in cloth patterning. These changes are explored and factors stimulating them considered. The effect of the changes on the continuity of the industry is also examined. The high quality product which resulted from the technological changes enhanced the social value of the cloth. This is because the aesthetic nature of the cloth was more important than its utilitarian value in the social function. The study, therefore, suggests that technological change in handloom weaving may have been important in its continuity during the period under study.
Conserved quantities in isotropic loop quantum cosmology

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop an action principle for those models arising from isotropic loop quantum cosmology, and show that there is a natural conserved quantity $Q$ for the discrete difference equation arising from the Hamiltonian constraint. This quantity $Q$ relates the semi-classical limit of the wavefunction at large values of the spatial volume, but opposite triad orientations. Moreover, there is a similar quantity for generic difference equations of one parameter arising from a self-adjoint operator.

Chameleon Effects on Small Scale Structure and the Baryonic Jeans Mass
Creators: name: Jones-Smith, Katherine
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the framework of Newtonian cosmology or general relativity it is simple to derive a mass scale below which collapsed structures are relatively devoid of baryons. We examine how the inclusion of a chameleon scalar field affects this baryonic Jeans mass, bearing in mind both the canonical case of a gravitational-strength coupling between the scalar field and matter, as well as the strong coupling regime wherein the coupling is very large. We find that baryon effects persist down to smaller scales in a chameleon theory than they do in ordinary general relativity, especially in the case of strong coupling. Several potentially observable consequences of this are identified.
X-Ray Photoexcited Extranuclear Gas In Active Galaxies

Circumnuclear matter

description: I will present a summary of results from 16 years of high resolution X-ray spectroscopy of gas in the neighborhood of Active Galactic Nuclei. Led by the prototypical Sy 2 galaxy NGC 1068, we now have many examples of circumnuclear gas that is excited by the central source. In galaxies with obscured nuclei, the gas is rich with emission lines from highly ionized species and radiative recombination continua. Outflows are apparent and several cases are resolved at the 1-5 level. The ionization models give velocity, density, and composition diagnostics. These outflows carry significant energy and momentum, affecting the energy budget of the local intergalactic medium. The X-ray Surveyor can examine the prevalence and impact of these ionization cones in the z1 universe.

On the packing dimension of box-like self-affine sets in the plane

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Metric Geometry (math.MG)

description: We consider a class of planar self-affine sets which we call "box-like". A box-like self-affine set is the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) of affine maps where the image of the unit square, [0,1]^2, under arbitrary compositions of the maps is a rectangle with sides parallel to the axes. This class contains the Bedford-McMullen carpets and the generalisations thereof considered by Lalley-Gatzouras, Barański and Feng-Wang as well as many other sets. In particular, we allow the mappings in the IFS to have non-trivial rotational and reflectional components. Assuming a rectangular open set condition, we compute the packing and box-counting dimensions by means of a pressure type formula based on the singular values of the maps.

description: We investigate the role of dipolar interactions on the magnetic properties of nanowires aggregates. Micromagnetic simulations show that dipolar interactions between wires are not detrimental to the high coercivity properties of magnetic nanowires composites even in very dense aggregates. This is confirmed by experimental magnetization measurements and Henkel plots which show that the dipolar interactions are small. Indeed, we show that misalignment of the nanowires in aggregates leads to a coercivity reduction of only 30%. Direct dipolar interactions between nanowires, even as close as 2 nm, have small effects (maximum coercivity reduction of ~15%) and are very sensitive to the detailed geometrical arrangement of wires. These results strenghten the potential of magnetic composite materials based on elongated single domain particles for the fabrication of permanent magnetic materials.

description: The editorial cartoon has been a popular form of artistic expression for over two-hundred years. Once restricted to the more refined circles and circulated individually, editorial cartoons are now an integral component of the modern newspaper. The editorial cartoon is composed of a series of cultural symbols, types and motifs. It is through the use of these that the editorial cartoon gives expression to mainstream views of a society. Here, it is important to note that the societal expressions contained within an editorial cartoon are, generally speaking, only true for the geographic area served by the newspaper which contains the cartoon. This thesis examines the manner in which editorial cartoons have given expression to a set of interrelated beliefs and values that have existed on the Canadian prairies, and are commonly referred to as "western alienation." This work demonstrates that editorial cartoons have given artistic expression to the concerns and beliefs of the alienated. This expression has both an historic and a contemporary context, both of which are examined here. This is demonstrated by means of a content analysis which relys on quantitative and qualitative procedures. This approach allows for broad generalizations concerning the expression of western alienation and editorial cartooning. However, because editorial cartoons are cultural artifacts it would constitute serious neglect if the more interesting cases were not individual basis. Therefore, a number of cartoons are also discussed on an individual basis.

description: We present recent progress in our calculation of $B_K$ with improved staggered fermions using chiral extrapolations based on SU(3) staggered chiral perturbation theory. We have accumulated significantly higher statistics on the coarse, fine, and ultrafine MILC asqtad lattices. This leads to a reduction in statistical error and an improved continuum extrapolation. Our updated result is $\hat{B}_K = B_K(\text{RGI}) = 0.737 \pm 0.003(\text{stat}) \pm 0.046 (\text{sys})$. This is consistent with the result obtained using chiral extrapolations based on SU(2) staggered chiral perturbation theory, although the total error is somewhat larger with the SU(3) analysis.

On the linearity of higher-dimensional blocking sets
Creators: name: Van de Voorde, Geertrui
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A small minimal k-blocking set B in PG(n, q), q = pt, p prime, is a set of less than 3(qk + 1)/2 points in PG(n, q), such that every (n - k)-dimensional space contains at least one point of B and such that no proper subset of B satisfies this property. The linearity conjecture states that all small minimal k-blocking sets in PG(n, q) are linear over a subfield Fpe of Fq. Apart from a few cases, this conjecture is still open. In this paper, we show that to prove the linearity conjecture for k- blocking sets in PG(n, pt), with exponent e and pe \geq 7, it is sufficient to prove it for one value of n that is at least 2k. Furthermore, we show that the linearity of small minimal blocking sets in PG(2, q) implies the linearity of small minimal k-blocking sets in PG(n, pt), with exponent e, with pe \geq t/e + 11.
