IT IS NOT THAT FUNNY. CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RACIAL IDEOLOGIES EMBEDDED IN RACIALIZED HUMOUR DISCOURSES ON FACEBOOK IN BRAZIL ABSTRACT ANATOMY OF RACISM ON FACEBOOK PRELIMINARY FINDINGS IN SUMMARY This study explores the use of Facebook as a powerful mechanism enabling individuals to disseminate and reinforce racialized discourses and negative representations of black individuals in Brazil, particularly concealed in disparagement humour posts and their associated comments. For this purpose, the study applies Critical Discourse Analysis as research method to unveil the embedded racialized and discriminatory discourses. There are five important dimensions to understand the full reach of the ideological racist discourses embedded on Facebook: 1) the target of the online racism; 2) the names of the Facebook communities where those content circulate; 3) the reverberation capacity of the posts published; 4) the actual comments; and 5) the profile of the individuals who engage in this behaviour and their inner motivations for doing so. Preliminary fieldwork results have revealed the following aspects: a) almost 80% of the victims of online mockery are predominantly middle-class, well-educated black women aged between 20 to 38 years; b) oftentimes the derogatory posts employ rude and impolite language to talk about black individuals; c) many users of Facebook communities displaying derogatory content express their endorsement to the content with laugher and jeer; d) there are evidence indicating a considerable degree of reverberation capacity of the derogatory comments given that they can potentially engage users for months and even for a couple of years after the original publication; and e) black women are at the forefront of the initiatives to challenge those derogating practices. It can be inferred that the underlying discourse embedded in the posts displayed on Facebook convey that being black in Brazil is associated with engagement to low qualified jobs, that is expected that they do not hold an university degree or any schooling at all, they are prone to be involved with illegal activities, they predominantly live in favelas and that their social place is at the lower social strata and there is the place where they should stay. On top of that, it is also considered that Facebook as a social media platform, enables individuals to convey their racist and discriminatory ideologies in such a way that it was not possible before, and due to social convention constraints, the sort of derogatory comments displayed online is not usually expressed in ordinary face-to-face interactions. Finally, the reverberation of the posts strongly contributes to the reinforcement of the disparagement discourse given that they keep engaging people for a long period of time in this conversation like an echo in cyberspace.

Heavily present in Arab-Islamic culture, al-Andalus, Iberia under Muslim rule, inspired one of the most popular “Islamic” televisual products in the Arab world: Al- Thulathiyya al-Andalusiyya (The Andalusi Trilogy), a set ﻿of three Arabic-language historical drama television series covering relatively intermittently the geopolitical and social evolution of al-Andalus over a period that starts around 737 and ends in 1095. To deconstruct the different dramatico-historical narratives generated by the Thulathiyya, an in-depth qualitative analysis of its three seasons is conducted that explores both the social and political norms and the historical sources its scripts draw on. The trilogy’s representation of al- Andalus is assessed, in the same analysis, in its potential function of commentary on the modern sociopolitical reality of the MENA region.

Inter textor Interfaces für die Annotation intertextueller Relationen Ein Projekt des Service Center for Digital Humanities Münster (SCDH) Jan Horstmann Christian Lück Immanuel Normann Jan-Erik Stange Dennis Voltz Benjamin Weber Mirko Westermeier Der Intertextor ist ein in Entstehung begriffenes Werkzeug zur manuellen Erfassung und Erforschung von Intertextualität als Netzwerk. Als Vorarbeit wurde ein gemeinsamer Kern von Intertextualitätstheorien heraus- gearbeitet und formalisiert, was zu einer modularen Ontologie (RDFS und OWL) geführt hat. Sie wurde auf der DHd 2023 zur Diskussion gestellt. Hier nun zeigen wir, wie auf dieser Grundlage fortschreitend Aspekte der Visualisierung und User-Experience bei der Toolentwicklung berücksichtigt werden. Texte können in verschiedenen Zoomstufen visualisiert werden, die in folgenden UI-Elementen zum Ausdruck kommen: lesbarer Text; verkleinerter Text als Struktur von Absätzen, Überschriften usw.; Balken als lineare Textrepräsentation; Knoten in einem Netzwerk. Diese UI-Elemente können auf verschiedene Weise miteinander kombiniert werden, was zu vier verschiedenen UI-Konfigurationen führt. Sie entsprechen verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Zugängen zu Intertextualität. Wir laden euch ein, euch bei der Anforderungsanalyse, Gestaltung und techni­ schen Entwicklung zu beteiligen. Globales Netzwerk Synopse Das gesamte Netzwerk bildet den Hintergrund, auf dem sich die Interaktion mit den Texten abspielt. Einzelne Nodes können selektiert werden, woraufhin sich ein Textfenster öffnet, in dem markierte Text­ stellen und ihre Verbindungen angezeigt werden. In einem festen Set von eng aufeinander bezogenen Texten bietet das Netzwerk keinen informationel­ len Mehrwert. Die Texte werden parallel lesbar dargestellt. In Beziehung stehende Stellen werden her­ vorgehoben und Informationen zur Relation angezeigt. Dieses UI entspricht der Methode Synopse. Die zu einem Korpus gehörenden Texte werden als Balken radial angeordnet und Verbindungen zwi­ schen ihnen als Bogen angezeigt. Die Selektion eines Balkens öffnet eine lesbare Textansicht rechts daneben, wo mehrere Texte dargestellt werden können. Dieses UI eignet sich zum Beispiel für Korpus- oder Werk-Analysen. Ein Text steht im Zentrum. Neben seiner Darstellung als Volltext ist der Ausschnitt des globalen Netz­ werkes zu sehen, der die Verbindung zu anderen Texten betrifft. Über das Netzwerk lassen sich seine Verbindungen zu ihnen explorieren und in Beziehung stehende Texte als Fenster öffnen. Über einen Slider lässt sich der Ausschnitt des Netzwerkes über die direkten Nachbarn hinaus vergrößern. Diese Konfiguration ist besonders nützlich bei Annotation und Analyse intertextueller Relationen einzelner Textstellen. Für hermeneutische Zugänge und Close-Reading-Ansätze ist sie besonders wertvoll. Korpus-Netzwerk Text und Netzwerk M I T M A C H E N ? uni.ms/intertextor
Non-Cognitive Predictors of Student Success: A Predictive Validity Comparison Between Domestic and International Students OSIRIS - A 20 ton liquid scintillator detector as a radioactivity monitor for JUNO PRESENTER: Alexandre Göttel for the JUNO collaboration Motivation JUNO's requirements on LS contamination: - 10^-15 for JUNO reactor neutrinos (IBD) - 10^-17 to 10^-16 for JUNO solar neutrinos Provide LS radioactivity data during commissioning of purification systems Detector Radioactivity levels are too low for “standard” detectors → 20 tons of LS surrounded by 64 iPMTs. Enclosed in a 9*9 meter cylinder of ultra-pure water. LS flows through OSIRIS in batches. iPMTs ●“Intelligent PMT” ●Digitization in PMT base ●→ Same cable for power & readout ●→ High signal quality ●→ Trigger-less readout scheme ● ●OSIRIS is equipped with 64 iPMTs + 12 veto iPMTs Simulation Calibration Analysis Results Assuming 100 counts/day of radon on day one: Reactor requirements met in < 1 week Solar sensitivity region reached in ~ 20 days Additional limits on background for JUNO Standalone C++ software framework based on Geant4 (10.02.p03). Full detector simulation with all relevant geometry and physical processes. Deployed via git & cmake → Fast simulation → Parallel development Optical photon simulation → In line with JUNO → Quenching → Cherenkov light → Wavelength dependent Biasing external gammas An external laser will send ps pulses with a wavelength of 420 nm. 20 diffusors, controlled with fiber switches, can distribute the light over all PMTs. Source calibration Two capsules containing radioactive isotopes will be lowered into the LS volume. They will be used to calibrate the energy scale and monitor long-term changes in the detector response. An additional capsule will contain a LED for additional timing calibration. Laser calibration → Charge → s.p.e. → Timing → Energy What is being calibrated? OSIRIS exploits the fast coincidence of Bi-Po decays to monitor U-238 and Th-232 levels in LS. The analysis is very sensitive to radon contamination in the liquid scintillator, as radon events are indistinguishable from Uranium and Thorium events. After the low-level data analyses and the position/energy reconstructions are performed, a series of cuts are applied. One obtains the following energy spectra (here from simulations). The signal events are obtained through time- coincidences from events in the energy windows in the plots below. On a pure LS sample: Preliminary additional radon contamination estimation:
Understanding the Benefits of Probiotic Formula for Gut Health The gut microbiota, a diverse community of microorganisms residing in our gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. Probiotics, live microorganisms with potential health benefits, have garnered significant attention for their ability to promote gut health. In this article, we will delve into the science behind probiotic formulas, exploring their mechanisms of action and scientific evidence supporting their use in maintaining a healthy gut. Understanding Gut Health and the Gut Microbiota The gut microbiota consists of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. These microbes coexist in a delicate balance, forming a complex ecosystem that interacts with our bodies in numerous ways. A healthy gut microbiota is associated with proper digestion, efficient nutrient absorption, and a robust immune system. The Role of Probiotics Probiotics are strains of beneficial microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host. They can exert their effects through various mechanisms, including: Gut Microbiota Modulation: Probiotics can influence the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota. They help restore balance in cases of dysbiosis, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful pathogens. Production of Bioactive Compounds: Probiotics can produce bioactive compounds, such as short- chain fatty acids and antimicrobial substances. These compounds support gut health by providing nutrients to the gut cells, enhancing gut barrier function, and inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms. Immunomodulation: Probiotics interact with the immune system, stimulating the production of immune-modulating molecules and promoting the development of a balanced immune response. This immune modulation can help alleviate inflammation and enhance immune defense against pathogens. Scientific Evidence for Probiotic Formulas Numerous scientific studies have investigated the efficacy of probiotic formulas in promoting gut health. Some key findings include: Gastrointestinal Disorders: Probiotic formulations have demonstrated benefits in managing various gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Immune Support: Probiotics have been shown to enhance immune function, reducing the risk of respiratory tract infections and allergic conditions.

Survey of pathotypes of Globodera pallida occurring in Europe Funding Non-competitive funding mechanism. Each funder only pays for the participation of their own national researchers. Total funding € 51 300 Picture 1 Picture 1 Picture 1 Goals Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis represent a threat for potato growing countries and as such they are quarantine pests. Deployment of the H1 resistance gene has been highly effective in controlling G. rostochiensis. However, this has led to strong selection of G. pallida, which has subsequently increased in prevalence in potato fields. Different G. pallida pathotypes exist which differ in their ability to overcome various sources of resistance. The focus of this project is to gain insights into the distribution and occurrence of G. pallida pathotypes in Europe and to compare and align the standard test populations in European countries. Research consortium AU (DK), INIAV (PT), Fera Science Ltd (GB), SASA (GB), NAK (NL), UoC (PT) Contact information Project coordinator: Mogens Nicolaisen mn@agro.au.dk Key outputs and results A mini symposium will be organised at the end of the project. The event will allow to share the results and knowledge produced in the framework of the project with official laboratories and national authorities Objectives During the project, information will be shared in order to: • share information on the presence and distribution of G. pallida in the partner countries over time • use DNA markers for the molecular characterization of the collected material • improve knowledge on G. pallida collections across the partner countries and to collect reference material • compare the standard test populations in the partner countries for official resistance testing and determine how they differ in virulence 06/2021-05/2024
Methods Processing: Characterization: INFLUENCE OF THE VISCOSITY ON THE DEGRADATION DURING PROCESSING OF PETG CENTRE FOR POLYMERS AND MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES (CPMT) Hannelore Ohnmacht, Lynn Trossaert, Mariya Edeleva, Dagmar R. D’hooge and Ludwig Cardon Introduction During processing, polymers are often subjected to high temperatures and high shear rates during the (long) residence times inside the machine. This can cause the material to degrade, leading to structural changes in the polymer chain and thus an overall change of material properties. The main sorts of degradation that occur for (co)polyesters include thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic degradation, which can lead to discoloration due to functional groups formation, crosslinking, or chain scission. Chain scission, being the main degradation mechanism for PET, refers to the rupture of polymer chains and can be induced by the presence of oxygen, water, or high temperatures. It results in smaller polymer chains, leading to a decrease of molecular weight of the polymer and consequently deterioration of material properties. This contribution examines the influence of three different viscosity grades on the degradation during processing of PETG. By analyzing the inherent viscosity and melt flow index of the material before and after processing, changes in the flow behaviour can be determined.
