description: Die steigende Zahl an Intimoperationen bei Frauen wird als Hinweis auf eine Unzufriedenheit mit den eigenen Genitalien interpretiert. Effektive Maßnahmen zur Stärkung des genitalen Selbstbilds in der Sexualbildung für erwachsene Frauen sind nur eingeschränkt vorhanden und zugänglich. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit besteht darin, die Wirkung unterschiedlicher Bildungseinheiten, die das genitale Selbstbild von Frauen gezielt stärken sollen und die online verfügbar sind, daraufhin zu untersuchen, ob und wie sie das genitale Selbstbild und die Beziehung zur eigenen Vulva verändern. Elf Frauen haben in diesem Zusammenhang einen Online-Fragebogen ausgefüllt, nahmen dann an dem vierwöchigen Online-Kurs KNOW YOUR V! teil und wurden anschließend in einem qualitativen semi-strukturierten Einzelinterview zu ihren Erfahrungen mit dem Kurs befragt. Die folgende fokussierte Interviewanalyse nach Kuckartz und Rädiker (2020) hat gezeigt, dass sich das genitale Selbstbild der Frauen in Bezug auf das Aussehen, die Funktionalität und den Geruch der eigenen Vulva teilweise veränderte. Des Weiteren wurden vielfältige Veränderungen bezüglich der Beziehung zur eigenen Vulva auf emotionaler Ebene sowie auf der Erkenntnis-, der Verhaltens- und der Beziehungsebene deutlich, die teilweise auch als erhöhte sexuelle Selbstsicherheit interpretiert werden konnten. Besonders ausschlaggebend für diese Erfahrungen waren vornehmlich körpernahe Übungen, aber auch die Wissenserweiterung und ein verbessertes Verständnis in Bezug auf das Erscheinungsbild, die Funktion und den Geruch normaler Vulven. Die Ergebnisse werden vornehmlich als Bestätigung bestehender Erkenntnisse und Theorien zum genitalen Selbstbild sowie zu sexueller Selbstsicherheit und sexueller Bildung gewertet. Die Vielseitigkeit der erlebten Erfahrungen, die teilweise therapeutische Wirkung einiger Übungen und die Effektivität des Online-Formats können als neue Befunde interpretiert werden. Ergänzend werden Vorschläge für eine optimierte Operationalisierung des Konzepts genitales Selbstbild und für weitere Studien zum Thema gemacht und die Bildung eines Konstrukts zur Beziehung zum eigenen Genital angeregt.

description: The need for innovative systemic approaches for managing water resources that integrate natural and human dimensions is well established. Although systemic, participatory modelling has been shown to support stakeholder involvement and integrated analysis, the uptake within acrimonious, data-scarce contexts – especially in the developing world – is limited. This study details a process designed to address challenges facing the lower Olifants River Catchment in South Africa, including deteriorating water quality, data paucity and stakeholder conflict. Narratives and quantitative data were used to build a system dynamics (SD) model, ResiMod, within a participatory process. The paper demonstrates how narratives can inform, and be informed by, iterative model development whilst integrating scientific data. The approach facilitated an exploration of perceptions of causality, connections between stakeholder sectors, and mitigatory actions for responding to climate-change impacts on biodiversity. This offers a promising approach to support improved communication and learning in disputed, data-scarce contexts.

description: Freight transportation is extremely important in Washington as it underpins the national and state economies, supports national defense and facilitates the distribution of goods and services to nearly all state residents on a daily basis. Because of this, the freight transportation system in Washington must function at all levels of government from international, national, to state and local. Internationally, Washington is a “gateway” state connecting Asian & Canadian trade flows to the U.S. economy. Nationally, Washington's freight system facilitates trade from Alaska and along the west coast. Additionally, the state's firms and farmers use the freight transportation system to ship Washington made goods locally, across the country and around the world. And lastly, Washington's freight transportation system serves as a local utility, vital to citizens throughout the state to meet their consumption needs. As a result, the planning of freight improvement projects should be seamless across various government jurisdictions and county/state boundaries. To understand the need for the coordinated collection and presentation of data, one needs only consider the various types of roads that contribute to the freight transportation system in Washington. Not only does the state host international border crossings and interstate highways, it is comprised of a myriad of county and city roads. As a result, there are several key agencies that have a stake in freight transportation planning in Washington: Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), County Road Administration Board (CRAB), Strategic Freight Transportation Analysis (SFTA) as well as the county and municipal governments. In the process of completing this study, it was necessary to contact each of these agencies for assistance in the collection of data and maps. To assist planners and policymakers at all levels of government, this paper describes the statistical and geospatial data collected from each county in Washington State and the analytical application of a complete GIS mapping of all-weather roads throughout the state, along with future county freight improvement projects. This information is then evaluated and analyzed on a regional/statewide basis to identify gaps or system inefficiencies resulting from local/county improvement projects that don’t extend across county borders. Specific county and regional case studies/examples of how this centralized GIS may aid policy decision-maker are also presented.

description: We investigate O(4) textures in a background with a positive cosmological constant. We find static solutions which co-move with the expanding background. There exists a solution in which the scalar field is regular at the horizon. This solution has a noninteger winding number smaller than one. There also exist solutions in which scalar-field derivatives are singular at the horizon. Such solutions can complete one winding within the horizon. If the winding number is larger than some critical value, static solutions including the regular one are unstable under perturbations.

description: In continental subduction, rifted margins can be carried to mantle depths (> 90 km) where ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphism above coesite stability is attained. Although different exhumation mechanisms for UHP rocks have been discussed, none of them integrate the recent understanding of rifted continental margins. Here, we perform high-resolution thermomechanical numerical experiments to demonstrate that segments of magma-poor rifted margins that reach UHP conditions can efficiently exhume back to shallower levels, while segments of magma-rich rifted margins cannot. This is because the thick layer of rocks with a basaltic composition in magma-rich margins becomes negatively buoyant during metamorphism, preventing their exhumation. This new concept might be pivotal for explaining why exhumed UHP rocks, a key feature of modern-style continental orogens, only appeared and became common late in Earth's history. We suggest that higher mantle potential temperatures and fertility in Earth's early history favored magma-rich rifted margins, making exhumation of UHP crust inefficient. Conditions for magma-poor rifted margins may have arisen during Earth's middle age (1.5–0.8 Ga) due to a colder, more refractory mantle that limited melting and magmatism. We argue that at the end of Neoproterozoic, these colder and positively buoyant magma-poor rifted margins were then subducted and efficiently exhumed to form the large collisional orogens of Gondwana where Earth's oldest coesite-bearing UHP rocks have been unequivocally found. Since then, UHP rocks have become a key and ubiquitous feature of continental orogens.

description: The use of simulation as an integral element of transit facility design has become increasingly popular with the development of new software in a transportation engineer’s toolbox. Beyond the most basic operational assessments, these tools have the ability to demonstrate people movements, frequently traveled paths, and separately, levels of service. Of particular interest to architects and designers, the simulations provide improved and, at times, more realistic results that better clarify and illustrate the “effectiveness” of their work in a dynamic manner. Furthermore, gone are the days of only relying on spreadsheets and bringing to the public a few rudimentary tables listing analysis results. It is now commonplace for public interest groups to frequently expect consultants to have such a dynamic graphical tool at the ready for them to examine. STV is involved in a number of projects that require input as to how transportation terminals and stations will function well before design alternatives have been finalized. In fact, the provision for simulation efforts has been a required evaluation criterion for the acceptance of specific conceptual and preliminary design schemes. Given today’s heighten security concerns, accounting for rapid emergency egress is of paramount interest to designers. Pedestrian simulation modeling allows for the relatively quick analysis of multiple pedestrian scenarios including emergency evacuation and normal circulation possibilities, which realistically assigns people to the nearest exits, measures egress times, identifies points of congestion, and requires minimum preparation time. The capabilities and advantages of pedestrian simulation modeling will be demonstrated based on analyses performed for projects such as the design of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s World Trade Center Transportation Hub and the reconstruction of New York City Transit’s Cortlandt Street 1 Train station within WTC Site. Both projects are intermodal in nature, and involve the complex “mixing” of people from many origins and destinations. The images and videos provided by the simulation, and included with this paper, have proven to serve as powerful and conclusive input to designs that provide for the smooth and efficient movement of people through stations and terminals.

description: This paper considers the impact of freight modal shifts on pavement life if short line railroads are no longer considered economically viable. The area selected for this case study considers a branch line connecting Ontonagon, Escanaba, and Rousseau, Michigan, which is currently served by the Escanaba Lake Superior Railroad (ELS), to the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. It is anticipated rail traffic will be diverted from Michigan to Green Bay, Wisconsin. The identification of current freight volumes on this rail segment and the corresponding trucking volumes, are estimated, if this rail traffic were diverted to nearby roads. A logistical flow analysis documents the increased truck movements by route if this rail line is lost. The current condition of the highway segments, which would be impacted by the potential line abandonment, is documented in terms of rutting, roughness, faulting, and cracking (alligator, transverse, and longitudinal). The pavement design method currently used by the Michigan Department of Transportation is the 1994 AASHTO Pavement Design Guide and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation uses “WisPave”. These pavement design guides were used to measure the pavements’ ability to handle the additional trucks on the highway in terms of structural number for flexible pavements and thickness for concrete pavements.

description: The oxidation program of hep-th/0210178 is extended to cover oxidation of 3-d sigma model theories on a coset G/H, with G non-compact (but not necessarily split), and H the maximal compact subgroup. We recover the matter content, the equations of motion and Bianchi identities from group lattice and Cartan involution. Satake diagrams provide an elegant tool for the computations, the maximal oxidation dimension, and group disintegration chains can be directly read off. We give a complete list of theories that can be recovered from oxidation of a 3 dimensional coset sigma model on G/H, where G is a simple non-compact group.

We illustrate the impact of such study on the predicted chemical composition of the outer crust of a non-accreting neutron star. We define an existence probability for each nuclear species as a function of the depth of the crust. We observe that, due to statistical uncertainties, instead of having a well defined transition between two successive layers, we have a mixture of two species.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new homological invariant called quasi-projective dimension, which is a generalization of projective dimension. We discuss various properties of quasi-projective dimension. Among other things, we prove the following. (1) Over a quotient of a regular local ring by a regular sequence, every finitely generated module has finite quasi-projective dimension. (2) The Auslander--Buchsbaum formula and the depth formula for modules of finite projective dimension remain valid for modules of finite quasi-projective dimension. (3) Several results on vanishing of Tor and Ext hold for modules of finite quasi-projective dimension.

description: Global climate change is one of the most debated environmental issues of the 21st century. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the principal contributor to climate change. Higher levels of CO2 concentrations are primarily the result of burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. Simultaneously, salmon populations are now being threatened and endangered. One technique to restore the salmon is the potential drawdown of the Snake River in Washington State. But, a paradox arises because this effort may increase the CO2 production by trucks and rail as barge transportation is stopped on the river. This paper uses wheat and barley transportation, the largest user of barge, to examine the impact on energy consumption and associated CO2 production if the river is breached and barge transportation ceases. A GIS-GAMS transportation model examines the pre and post breaching least cost wheat flows for the producer. Significant increases in rail movements are seen, with some increases in truck in a feeder role to the rail. The relative modal energy intensity coefficients affect the energy consumed. Overall results indicate that the paradox continues with breaching causing some increase in CO2 levels, especially for the barley movements (41%) and overall (1.61%), while offering the possibility of some perceived benefit to the endangered salmon stocks.

description: Eine Krebserkrankung ist ein einschneidendes Erlebnis für die Betroffenen und deren Umfeld. Eine solche Erkrankung kann Folgen auf die Lebensqualität haben, darunter auch auf die sexuelle Gesundheit. In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde das Unterstützungsangebot für Betroffene mit sexuellen Anliegen immer stärker ausgebaut, trotzdem sind nach wie vor einige Hürden für umfassende Hilfestellungen vorhanden. Die Auswahl an möglichen Interventionen, um die Betroffenen in ihrer Sexualität zu unterstützen, scheint jedoch gross. Somit stellt sich die Frage, wie das Angebot denn tatsächlich aussieht und ob es vielleicht sogar eine Standardbehandlung gibt, welche Betroffene unabhängig irgend eines Merkmals unterstützt. Um erste Ansätze auf diese Frage zu erhalten, wurde eine Erkundungsstudie mit einer kurzen Online-Befragung zum Angebot in der Deutschschweiz sowie Experteninterviews mit drei Experten und Expertinnen geführt. Es zeigt sich, dass ein Angebot zwar da ist, dies womöglich noch ausgebaut oder vor allem auch präsenter gemacht werden kann. Einen klaren best-practice Ansatz scheint es nicht zu geben, womöglich helfen verschiedene Interventionen, um die sexuellen Anliegen nach oder während einer Krebserkrankung anzugehen. Wichtig dabei ist immer, dass das Individuum mit seinen ganzen Erfahrungen und Ressourcen berücksichtig wird. Die Erkundungsstudie gibt Anhaltspunkte, um das Angebot und die Wirksamkeit der Interventionen in künftiger Forschung genauer zu betrachten.

description: We analyze two puzzling results released by the California Air Resource Board who recently revises its land use changes and greenhouse gas emissions induced by biofuels. First the absolute reduction in the US average soya biodiesel estimate is much greater than the reduction in the US average corn ethanol one. Second the EU canola biodiesel estimate is twice the US canola biodiesel one. We find that these two puzzling results are mostly explained by some weak initial economic data. In both cases, the underestimation of the oilmeal production values biases upwards the carbon emission estimates. We then recall that any economic analysis is only worth the quality of the supporting data. The current focus on unobserved elasticity values to assess biofuel impacts is not sufficient.

Grundlage bilden dabei psychosomatische und sexualwissenschaftliche Ansätze wie das Modell Sexocorporel und das Konzept der Salutogenese. Es wurden zwei retrospektive Interviews mit jungen betroffenen Frauen ein Jahr nach dem Eingriff mittels teilstrukturiertem Interviewleitfaden durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse geben Aufschluss über die Art der Veränderungen, deren Wahrnehmung durch die betroffenen Frauen sowie den Bedarf an zusätzlicher Begleitung durch eine Sexualberatung. Anhand eines Beispiels aus der Beratungspraxis der Autorin wird die Möglichkeit und die Bedeutung der Sexualberatung im Zusammenhang mit einer Brustentfernung aufgezeigt. Die Erkenntnisse aus den Interviews werden Interventionen der Sexualberatung gegenübergestellt.

description: The modified Pigovian tax approach to regulating stock and flow pollutants from a non-renewable resource firm (Farzin, 1996) provides incentives for the firm to abate optimally, but does not allow for the possibility that a firm may become insolvent. In contrast, the current environmental bond policy applied in most jurisdictions across Australia and New Zealand provides funds in the case of insolvency, but often does not provide optimal incentives for rehabilitation. This study analyses these alternative policy approaches through a theoretical model and an empirical case study. From the case study for a mineral sands firm, the policy recommendation is that, based on economic efficiency alone, a modified Pigovian tax (termed here a damaged land tax) is optimal for most combinations of parameters. However, both risk-sharing and efficiency objectives can be simultaneously addressed by a mixed policy that includes a damaged land tax and an environmental bond.

description: Programmablaufpläne dienen bei der Vermittlung von Kenntnissen zur Programmierung als Hilfsmittel, um das Verständnis für Kontroll- und Datenflüsse beim Ablauf von Programmen zu überprüfen. Dies erfolgt häufig durch eine Umsetzung des Plans in ein lauffähiges Programm und anschließendem Abgleich auf Übereinstimmung. Um diesen Abgleich und eine Bewertung der abgegebenen Leistung möglichst effizient und zeitnah vornehmen zu können, bedarf es einer automatisierten Lösung. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen Lösungsansatz auf Basis der Graphentheorie zu entwickeln und prototypisch umzusetzen. Dabei sollen die Repräsentation von Programm und Ablaufplan als Kontrollflussgraphen auf Ähnlichkeit untersucht und Bewertungen auch für teilkorrekte Umsetzungen vorgenommen werden können. Eine auftretende Schwierigkeit dabei ist es, den Unterschied im Abstraktionsgrad der Anweisungen in beiden Graphen zu überwinden und diese auf geeignete Weise vergleichbar zu machen. Im Verlauf dieser Arbeit werden Ansätze geliefert, wie Programm und Programmablaufplan als Kontrollflussgraphen in ein geeignetes Vergleichsformat gebracht werden können, wie auf Basis dieses Formats eine strukturelle Analyse durch Ermittlung gemeinsamer Untergraphen erfolgt und wie durch Berechnung der Graph-Edit-Distanz eine Grundlage für die Bewertung geschaffen wird. Darüber hinaus wird eine Metrik erarbeitet, welche die Schwierigkeit der Vergleichbarkeit von Anweisungen behandelt. Als Ergebnis steht eine prototypische Umsetzung dieser Ansätze für den Abgleich und die Bewertung für einfache C-Programme und zugehörige Programmablaufpläne, welche im Umfeld der Hochschularbeit zum Einsatz kommen kann, um studentisches Verständnis im Rahmen der Einführungsveranstaltungen für die Programmierung effektiv zu überprüfen.

description: Error-detection and correction are necessary prerequisites for any scalable quantum computing architecture. Given the inevitability of unwanted physical noise in quantum systems and the propensity for errors to spread as computations proceed, computational outcomes can become substantially corrupted. This observation applies regardless of the choice of physical implementation. In the context of photonic quantum information processing, there has recently been much interest in passive linear optics quantum computing, which includes boson-sampling, as this model eliminates the highly-challenging requirements for feed-forward via fast, active control. That is, these systems are passive by definition. In usual scenarios, error detection and correction techniques are inherently active, making them incompatible with this model, arousing suspicion that physical error processes may be an insurmountable obstacle. Here we explore a photonic error-detection technique, based on W-state encoding of photonic qubits, which is entirely passive, based on post-selection, and compatible with these near-term photonic architectures of interest. We show that this W-state redundant encoding techniques enables the suppression of dephasing noise on photonic qubits via simple fan-out style operations, implemented by optical Fourier transform networks, which can be readily realised today. The protocol effectively maps dephasing noise into heralding failures, with zero failure probability in the ideal no-noise limit. We present our scheme in the context of a single photonic qubit passing through a noisy communication or quantum memory channel, which has not been generalised to the more general context of full quantum computation.

description: We explore the bubble spacetimes which can be obtained from double analytic continuations of static and rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter space. In particular, we find that rotating black holes with elliptic horizon lead to bubble spacetimes only in dimension greater than five. For dimension greater than seven, the topology of the bubble can be non-spherical. However, a bubble spacetime is shown to arise from a rotating de Sitter black hole in four dimensions. In all cases, the evolution of the bubble is of de Sitter type. Double analytic continuations of hyperbolic black holes and branes are also discussed.

description: We investigate in detail the structure of mesonic vacua of N=1 U(Nc) supersymmetric gauge theory with Nf flavors from the matrix model. We show that the Witten index from the matrix model calculation agrees with a result from field theoretical analysis. We also discuss the relationship between a diagrammatic summation and direct matrix integration with insertion of a variable changing delta function. Using this formalism, we obtain the quantum moduli space and evidence of the Seiberg duality from the matrix models.

description: The AMS spectrometer will be installed on the International Space Station in 2005. Among other improvements over the first version of the instrument, a ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) will be added and should open a new window for cosmic-ray physics, allowing isotope separation up to A = 25 between 1 and 10 GeV/c and element identification up to Z = 25 between threshold and 1 TeV/c/nucleon. It should also contribute to the high level of redundancy required for AMS and reject efficiency albedo particles. A second generation prototype has been operated for a few months : the architecture and the first results are presented.

description: The dimer Mott insulator $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ can be tuned into a metallic and superconducting state upon applying pressure of 1.5 kbar and more. We have performed dielectric spectroscopy measurements (7 kHz to 5 MHz) on $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ single crystals as a function of temperature (down to $T=8$ K) and pressure (up to $p=4$ kbar). At ambient conditions, a relaxor-like dielectric behavior develops below 50 K that shifts toward lower temperatures as the crystal is pressurized. Interestingly, a second peak emerges in $\varepsilon_{1}(T)$ around $T=15$ K, which becomes strongly enhanced with pressure and is attributed to a small volume fraction of metallic puddles in the insulating host phase. When approaching the phase boundary, this peak diverges rapidly reaching $\varepsilon_{1} \approx 10^{5}$. Our dynamical mean-field theory calculations substantiate that the dielectric catastrophe at the Mott transition is not caused by closing the energy gap, but due to the spatial coexistence of correlated metallic and insulating regions. We discuss the percolative nature of the first-order Mott insulator-to-metal transition in all details.

description: Chitosan has been produced from shrimp waste by chemical method involving demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation. The quality of chitosan depends on the conditions of the chemical extraction process. The results showed that 3% HCI and 4% NaOH were suitable concentration for demineralization and deproteinization, respectively at ambient temperature (28±2o C). Chitosan with a high degree of deacetylation (81.24%) and high solubility (97.65%) was obtained by deacetylation with 60% NaOH for 24 hours at 60°C. Purified chitosan was characterized for intrinsic viscosity (13.2dl/g), molecular weight (1.05×106 Dalton), FBC (427.98%), WBC (537.29%) as well as yield (15.4%)

Moreover, we prove that there are only 149 genus two curves of this kind with the additional requeriment that their jacobians are Q-simple. We determine the corresponding newforms and present equations for all these curves.

description: We discuss thermalization through perturbative inflaton decay at the end of inflation. We find that a thermal plasma should form well before all inflatons have decayed, unless all gauge symmetries are badly broken during that epoch. However, before they thermalize, the very energetic inflaton decay products can contribute to the production of massive stable particles, either through collisions with the thermal plasma, or through collisions with each other. If such reactions exist, the same massive particles can also be produced directly in inflaton decay, once higher--order processes are included. We show that these new, non--thermal production mechanisms often significantly strengthen constraints on the parameters of models containing massive stable particles; for example, stable charged particles with mass below the inflaton mass seem to be essentially excluded.
