It is scientifically proved that genetic heritance, irrespective of a person’s wish or will, is passed down from parents, which connects him/her with their predecessors’ world.The same can be said about constitution, nervous system, temperament, character – they are all inherited. From this point of view, Mariam Kereselidze was a copy of her father, general Leo Kereselidze. She was determined, self-sacrificing and daring like her father. The love of Georgian gene and origins, the striving towards freedom were inspired by her father from her very childhood. Mariam was the only child so her father brought her up in a manly manner, tried to develop the features which she would use in difficult situations. The general wished his daughter to continue his political course.Brought up in her father’s political surrounding, all Mariam’s actions were directed to restore Georgia’s statehood.During the World War II, at the age of 19, Mariam Kereselidze helped the Germans to bomb English bases in Gibraltar for three years, according to KGB. On her “achievements” list, there was also a revelation of secret negotiations between American and Portuguese ambassadors. That was why she was hunted by: Soviet KGB, English Intelligence, French police and even German Nazis… In the World War II, Mariam Kereselidze fought among anti-Soviet group, on the Germans’ side for others’ interests, formally, but in reality, she fought for Georgia.After the war she moved to South America and while living in Peru, in 1960, she wrote a play “Maita” in Spanish, her second Add Contributorplay was “Roots of Stars” which was staged by Rosa Wonder’s cast of Peru Theatre. Due to hard life conditions in Peru, Mariam Kereselidze started her activity in Communist Party.Keywords: Kereselidze, lost, Peru

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of mobility in Peru has defined a particular worldview of the Peruvian people, manifested in the distinction between work and the state. The gender approach is especially important in relation to German state subsidies, whereas state benefits or lack of access to them has become a criterion of stigmatization. The lives of those Peruvians who have been able to adapt in one way or another to working life in Berlin are markedly different. Through their work, Peruvians have been able to gain the trust of many Germans, and to gain the appreciation and respect of their Peruvian and Latin American compatriots, in fact, prestige. In this context, however, it must also be understood that it is the new way of life, which also involves work and daily activities, that brings confrontation between blood relatives and families, generating deep ruptures.

A Large–Scale Empirical Test across 89 German Cities." European Journal of Personality 31, no. 3 (May 2017): 234–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/per.2104.

A widespread stereotype holds that the Germans are notorious worriers, an idea captured by the term German angst. An analysis of country–level neurotic personality traits (trait anxiety, trait depression, and trait neuroticism; N = 7 210 276) across 109 countries provided mixed support for this idea; Germany ranked 20th, 31st, and 53rd for depression, anxiety, and neuroticism, respectively, suggesting, at best, the national stereotype is only partly valid. Theories put forward to explain the stereotypical characterization of Germany focus on the collective traumatic events experienced by Germany during World War II (WWII), such as the massive strategic bombing of German cities. We thus examined the link between strategic bombing of 89 German cities and today's regional levels in neurotic traits ( N = 33 534) and related mental health problems. Contrary to the WWII bombing hypothesis, we found negative effects of strategic bombing on regional trait depression and mental health problems. This finding was robust when controlling for a host of economic factors and social structure. We also found Resilience × Stressor interactions: Cities with more severe bombings show more resilience today (lower levels of neurotic traits and mental health problems in the face of a current major stressor—economic hardship).

AbstractAcademics in the field of economic sciences are increasingly expected to solicit (research based) third party funding, even in competition with other disciplines. The recent Excellence Initiative in Germany, in which economic sciences have performed disappointingly, has shown this pressure quite plainly. This article gives an overview of the main funding programmes of the DFG (German Research Association), the assessment and decision-making process in these programmes and discusses the position of economics in the DFG funding context.

AbstractStarting in 2003, the labour market in Germany underwent major reforms. They introduced new types of employment, reshaped the benefit system, and remodelled active labour market policies. Over the 10 following years, unemployment fell dramatically and participation hit record levels, while rising non-standard employment and wage inequality became causes for concern. The Bundesagentur für Arbeit has developed into a modern service provider whose programmes are scientifically evaluated. Anticipating future trends on the labour market, the Bundesagentur has recently devised a strategy to cope with them. Overall, the German experience with labour market reforms points to the benefits of evidence-based policies.

Full textAbstract:
The article is dedicated to the analysis of Peruvian travelogues of German-speaking travelers in the second half of 19th — early 20th centuries. Until now, this material has not attracted the attention of americanists. In the present analysis the author sets the following tasks: identifying the place of Peru in the German social and cultural discourse of the corresponding period; describing the social portrait of the German traveler in Peru; highlighting the main patterns underlying the image of Peru created by travelers; analyzing factors that influenced the creation of these patterns. The analysis shows the following results. First, the place of Peru in German discourse can be described as insignificant. Secondly, the typical German traveler to Peru was an educated middle-class person with a certain background concerning the Peruvian theme. Third, the author identifies the following patterns — stable sets of ideas about Peru: exoticism, mostly negative image of local habitants, dichotomy of the Peruvian past and present, in which the past acts as an era of glory, and the present — as the time of decline; view of the landscape as a reflection of the political and economic state of the country. The author also characterizes the main descriptive model of Peru for German travelers as “realistic”. Finally, the author identifies some factors that influenced the formation of the image of this country, in particular, the colonial discourse and the racial theory, as well as the political sympathies of the travelers themselves.

Abstract This paper examines the role of women in Nazi Germany and ways the policy and propaganda implemented and enacted both plans an policies to transform women into the mothers of the nation. The paper will focus on the ways propaganda posters were used in order to engage public opinion, using the power of visual arts into manipulating public opinion that the body of a woman should be devoted to the Reich, (re-)producing the pure-blooded German and support the creation of a new empire. The posters supported and acted as a direct reminder of the policies set by Nazi regime, and their ideology on family planning, racial purity and gender roles. The propaganda machine that produced them borrowed symbols from religious works of the Renaissance connecting the “ideal mother” to images of Holy Mary, in a twisted connection between religion and social engineering. The presentation will discuss about the ways Nazi Germany elaborated the role of women, the (ab)use of their body and the ideal depiction of it according to the regime, the distortion of iconic renaissance paintings along with the ways that religion and public policy have been weaved in order to manipulate and re-educate an entire nation will be parts of the presentation in order to highlight this interesting part of history.

A great number of plant species produce latex, including Apocynacea, Sapotacea, Papaveracea and Euphorbiaceae. Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) Schum is a laticifer shrub belonging to Apocynaceae family popularly known as “chapéu-de-napoleão”. It is very limited the proteomic information about this specie. Thus, a proteomic analysis of protein fraction (TpLP) from T. peruviana latex was performed using two dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. A total of 33 proteins (86%) were identified, including storage proteins, peptidase inhibitor, cysteine peptidases, peroxidases and osmotins. This protein fraction showed strong proteolytic activity at pH 5.0 which was increased in the presence of low concentrations of the reducing agent DTT. The inhibition this activity in the presence of specific inhibitors E-64 and IAA and the high activity with BANA showed the predominance of cysteine peptidases in latex. A cysteine peptidase, termed peruvianin-I, was purified from the latex by a single chromatographic step involving gel filtration. The enzyme was inhibited by E-64 and iodoacetamide (IAA) and follows the Michaelis-Menten kinetics, showing high affinity for azocasein, with Km value of 17.6 uM, exhibiting an optimal pH and temperature of 5.0-6.0 and 25-37 °C, respectively. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry revealed that peruvianin-I (100 kDa) possesses a pI of 4.0 and five subunits (20 kDa). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of peruvianin-I (1ADPGPLQDFCLADLNSPLFINGYPCRNPALAISDDF36) was similar to that of germin or germin-like proteins. High-resolution images from atomic force microscopy indicated the possible hexameric structure of peruvianin-I, which is organized as a trimer of dimers that form a central channel. TpLP and peruvianin-I exhibited no oxalate oxidase and superoxide dismutase activity or antifungal effects on the spore germination of Fusarium solani. This study showed that T. peruviana latex are a rich source of pathogenesis-related proteins, including cysteine peptidases. Interestingly, these peptidases exhibit different structural and biochemical characteristics that may be related to their specific physiological functions.

Por tanto, uma análise proteômica da fração proteica (TpLP) do látex de T. peruviana foi realizada a partir de eletroforeses bidimensionais e espectrometria de massas. Um total de 33 proteínas (86%) foi identificado, incluindo proteínas de reserva, inibidor de peptidase, peptidases cisteínicas, peroxidases e osmotinas. As proteínas desta fração apresentaram uma forte atividade proteolítica no pH 5,0, a qual foi aumentada na presença de baixas concentrações do agente redutor DTT. A inibição desta atividade na presença dos inibidores específicos E-64 e IAA e a alta atividade com o substrato BANA evidenciou a predominância de peptidases cisteínicas no látex. Uma peptidase cisteínica denominada peruvianina-I, foi purificada a partir do látex através de um único passo cromatográfico envolvendo filtração em gel. A enzima foi inibida por E-64 e iodoacetamida (IAA) e seguiu a cinética de Michaelis-Menten, apresentando alta afinidade à azocaseína, com um valor de Km de 17,6 µM, exibindo pH e temperatura ótimos de 5,0-6,0 e 25-37 °C, respectivamente. A peruvianina-I não foi reconhecida por anticorpos anti-papaína. As Eletroforeses bidimensionais e a espectrometria de massas revelaram que a peruvianina-I (100 kDa) possui um pI de 4,0 e cinco subunidades (20 kDa). A sequência de aminoácidos N-terminal da peruvianina-I (1ADPGPLQDFCLADLNSPLFINGYPCRNPALAISDDF36) mostrou similaridade à germinas ou “germin-like proteins”. Imagens de alta resolução a partir da microscopia de força atômica indicaram uma possível estrutura hexamérica da peruvianina-I, que está organizada como um trímero de dímeros, formando um canal central. TpLP e Peruvianina-I não exibiram atividade de oxalato oxidase e superóxido dismutase ou efeitos antifúngicos sobre a germinação de esporos de Fusarium solani. Este estudo mostrou que o látex de T. peruviana é uma fonte rica em proteínas relacionadas à patogênese, incluindo peptidases cisteínicas. Curiosamente, estas peptidases apresentam características estruturais e bioquímicas diferentes, que podem estar relacionadas com as suas funções fisiológicas específicas.

Full textAbstract:
After Swedish alcohol retail monopoly, Systembolaget, changed the taxation for alcohol sold in retail stores according to its absolute alcohol content in 1992, Ponicki et al. (1997) used this opportunity to examine the effect of per-unit alcohol tax on the prices of spirits, comparing before and after, and found that beverages from higher price range experienced a relatively smaller rise in price in percentage terms than the beverages from lower price range, which can be described as compression of prices. This paper builds on the statement and findings by Ponicki et al. in 1997 and looks at whether or not unit taxes on ethanol content, as opposed to ad valorem taxes, compress the price range and make low quality wines relatively more expensive after-tax in Sweden as compared to no alcohol-content taxation. For the purposes of comparison German wine market is selected due to its market specifics (no per-unit taxes on wine), geographical proximity and availability of wide range data. The perception that the Swedish Pigouvi-an alcohol content tax should make wines in low price ranges relatively more expensive than its pre-tax price and in high ranges relatively cheaper (Kronstam, B.-G., 2010) did not receive thorough support in this paper.

Els canvis epidemiològics, de morbi-mortalitat, tecnològics i de les necessitats i expectatives socials impliquen innovacions en la gestió sanitària. Els models actuals de gestió inclouen com a requisit la gestió dels processos (GP). La GP és una filosofia capaç de canviar la visió de la gestió i s’emmarca en l’àmbit de la gestió de qualitat global.
L'organització dels centres sanitaris en compartiments estancs dificulta la fluïdesa de les activitats que conformen el procés assistencial. La GP suposa un canvi radical de l'organització, en la mesura que defineix la seqüència de les activitats de persones de diverses disciplines i departaments, aportant coordinació i integració. La implementació de la GP comporta la millora continua de les activitats desenvolupades, la reducció de la variabilitat innecessària, l’eliminació de les ineficiències associades a la repetició de les activitats i l’optimització de la utilització de recursos.
Tenint en compte aquestes premisses, les hipòtesis plantejades en aquest treball són:
- La implementació del Procés d’Atenció Urgent (PAU) pot millorar el funcionament i l’eficàcia del Servei d’Urgències (SU) de l’Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol (HUGTP).
- La millora del funcionament i l’eficàcia del SU de l’HUGTP pot augmentar la qualitat assistencial i la satisfacció dels pacients.
Els objectius de la tesi són els següents:
1.- Descriure la implementació del Procés d’Atenció Urgent en l’HUGTP.
2.- Descriure les accions de millora implantades per millorar el funcionament del Servei d’Urgències i, en conseqüència, incrementar la qualitat de l’atenció urgent i la satisfacció dels pacients atesos a urgències.
3.- Comparar la situació inicial (els resultats previs) amb els resultats obtinguts després de la implementació del procés i les accions de millora.
Es tracta d’un estudi descriptiu i retrospectiu de les activitats del Servei d'urgències durant el període 2010-2014, després de la implementació del Procés d'atenció urgent i, en conseqüència, de les accions de millora. Les accions de millora implantades estan relacionades amb:
- Accions sobre els fluxos d’entrada
- Accions sobre el procés assistencial
∙ Accions de millora de la gestió i organització del servei d’urgències
∙ Mesures de gestió hospitalària general
∙ Mesures per millorar la coordinació intrahospitalària
- Mesures per millorar la sortida d’urgències
- Millores estructurals i d’equipament
- Millores dels sistemes d’informació
Les accions de millora han pretès assolir els següents objectius generals:
- Prioritzar adequadament les demandes d’atenció urgent mitjançant un sistema de classificació dels pacients homologat i amb nivells màxims de seguretat.
- Proporcionar una assistència resolutiva, de qualitat i eficient, amb una mínima variabilitat clínica. Oferir la màxima seguretat per als pacients, minimitzant els errors i les complicacions relacionades amb els procediments.
- Garantir la coordinació intrahospitalària.
- Agilitar el flux dels pacients atesos cap a altres dispositius garantint la continuïtat assistencial entre els diferents àmbits d’atenció.
- Aconseguir la màxima satisfacció dels pacients atesos.
- Potenciar la formació i satisfacció dels professionals.
Les variables analitzades són els indicadors de procés i les enquestes de satisfacció dels usuaris. L’anàlisi de l’evolució de les variables seleccionades en el present treball, durant el període 2010-2014, permet avaluar els resultats obtinguts després de la implementació del procés d’atenció urgent i les accions de millora.
L'evolució dels resultats dels indicadors del procés d’atenció urgent evidència que el SU del HUGTP ha millorat el seu funcionament i ha augmentat la qualitat assistencial, fet reflectit en l’evolució dels indicadors de qualitat. La millora del funcionament del Servei d’Urgències, després de la implantació del Procés d’Atenció Urgent, ha augmentat la satisfacció dels pacients com ho demostren els resultats de les enquestes de satisfacció dels usuaris.
Amb la implementació de la gestió per processos els SU poden convertir-se en àrees d'excel·lència.The epidemiological changes of morbidity and mortality, technological and social needs and expectations involve innovations in healthcare management. Current models include a requirement of process management (PM). The PM is a philosophy capable of changing the vision of management and is included in global quality management. The organization of closed compartmentalized health centers hampers the flow of activities that make the care process. The PM represents a radical change in the organization, as defined in the sequence of the activities of people from different disciplines and departments, providing coordination and integration. The implementation of the PM involves continuous improvement of the activities, reducing unnecessary variability, eliminating the inefficiencies associated with the repetition of activities and optimize resource utilization. Given these assumptions, hypotheses raised in this paper are: - Implementation Process Urgent Care can improve the functioning and effectiveness of the Emergency Service (ES) of the University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol (HUGTP). - Improving the functioning and effectiveness of the ES HUGTP can increase the quality of care and patient satisfaction. The objectives of the thesis are: 1. Describe the implementation of the Process Urgent Care HUGTP. 2. Describe the improvement actions implemented to improve the functioning of the Emergency Service and, consequently, improve the quality of emergency care and the satisfaction of patients treated in emergency. 3. Compare the initial situation (previous results) with the results after the implementation of the process and the improvement actions. It is a descriptive and retrospective study of the activities of the emergency service during the period 2010-2014, after the implementation process urgent care and, consequently, of the improvement actions. Improvement actions implemented are related to: - Actions on inflows - Actions regarding treatment ∙ Measures to improve the management and organization of the emergency service ∙ Measures of general hospital management ∙ Measures to improve hospital coordination - Measures to improve the emergency outflows - Improved structures and equipment - Improved information systems Improvement actions are intended to achieve the following general objectives: - Properly prioritize urgent attention by a recognized classification system for patients with maximum levels of security. - Provide support for, quality and efficient resolution, with minimal clinical variability. Offering maximum safety for patients, minimizing errors and complications related to the procedure. - Ensure coordination within the hospital. - Expedite the flow of attended patients to other services ensuring continuity of care among different levels of care. - Achieve maximum satisfaction of patients treated. - Strengthen training and professional satisfaction. The variables are process indicators and surveys of user satisfaction. The analysis of the evolution of the variables selected in this work during the period 2010-2014, allows us to assess the results obtained after the implementation of the process of urgent attention and improvement actions. ES has improved its performance and increased quality of care, a fact reflected in the evolution of quality indicators. Improving the functioning of the Emergency Service, after the introduction of the Urgent Care Process, increased patient satisfaction as demonstrated by the results of surveys of user satisfaction. With the implementation of management, processes the ES can become areas of excellence.

Full textAbstract:
Dopo più di quarant’anni di tentativi tesi alla realizzazione di un titolo di protezione brevettuale “comunitario”, nel 2012 sono stati emanati due regolamenti, il n. 1257/2012 e il n. 1260/2012, attuativi di una cooperazione rafforzata tra ventisei Stati membri dell’Unione europea: essi creano un brevetto europeo con effetto unitario e ne disciplinano il regime di traduzione applicabile. L’anno successivo, venticinque Stati membri hanno firmato un accordo istitutivo del Tribunale unificato dei brevetti. I summenzionati strumenti normativi costituiscono il c.d. “pacchetto brevetti”, che entrerà in vigore una volta che almeno tredici Stati membri, tra cui Germania, Francia e Regno Unito, avranno ratificato l’Accordo. Rispetto al panorama attuale, caratterizzato da una frammentazione normativa e giurisdizionale, tale nuova architettura porterà indubbiamente notevoli vantaggi. Da un lato, infatti, i regolamenti europei introducono un “nuovo brevetto” che estende la sua efficacia oltre i confini nazionali; la portata della protezione e gli effetti saranno infatti uniformi in tutto il territorio degli Stati membri partecipanti. Dall’altro, il Tribunale unificato, competente a giudicare quasi tutte le controversie in materia brevettuale, si sostituirà ai giudici nazionali, garantendo l’uniformità della giurisdizione e delle decisioni. Tuttavia, il risultato ottenuto con il “pacchetto brevetti” non sembra essere adeguato agli obiettivi di unitarietà che le istituzioni europee e gli Stati membri si erano prefissati. Si tratta infatti di un quadro normativo complesso, che combina il diritto dell’Unione europea, il diritto internazionale (in particolare l’Accordo sul Tribunale unificato e la Convenzione sul brevetto europeo), e il diritto nazionale degli Stati membri, a cui gli atti citati rinviano in diverse occasioni, e che istituisce due strumenti, il brevetto europeo con effetto unitario e il Tribunale unificato dei brevetti, dalla natura assai controversa. Per tale ragione, la nuova normativa solleva molteplici questioni di natura costituzionale, in ordine alla compatibilità del nuovo sistema con l’ordinamento giuridico dell’Unione europea. Uno dei profili problematici di particolare interesse riguarda la cooperazione rafforzata in tema di tutela brevettuale unitaria, che sembra essere stata instaurata per eludere il dissenso di Italia e Spagna in relazione al regime linguistico applicabile. Inoltre, nei due regolamenti europei manca una vera e propria disciplina sostanziale, sollevando pertanto dei dubbi sull’effettiva “unitarietà” del nuovo brevetto. Infine, alcune caratteristiche del Tribunale unificato, quali la sua particolare struttura, il riparto interno delle competenze, il regime linguistico e la previsione di un periodo transitorio in cui è possibile ancora adire il giudice nazionale, si pongono in contrasto con il fine di unificazione giurisdizionale. A tali considerazioni si aggiunge che la decisione del Regno Unito di uscire dall’Unione europea potrebbe compromettere l’entrata in vigore del “pacchetto brevetti”. Obiettivo del presente lavoro è quello di analizzare in modo organico l’intera disciplina, nell’ottica di verificarne l’effettiva compatibilità con l’ordinamento dell’Unione europea. Solamente attraverso un approccio sistematico fondato sui principi e sugli strumenti dell’UE, si possono superare le attuali criticità che emergono dal “pacchetto brevetti”, nell’ottica di un effettivo miglioramento di tale nuova disciplina e del conseguente raggiungimento di una reale unitarietà nella tutela brevettuale.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractGermany’s defense AI path is caught in a “master and servant” logic. Germany struggles to readjust its input-driven strategic culture, which puts greater emphasis on the socio-political acceptance and legitimization of military power than on the effects it can achieve. As a result, Germany considers defense AI as a tool—the humble servant—subordinate to humans, who must always remain in the loop. Incrementalism dominates, which makes it difficult to assess what defense AI is expected to achieve and whether it delivers on this expectation. As a result, most German defense AI development projects focus on decision-making support and gradual improvements of other technologies in the fields of Command, Control, Computers, and Communications (C4) and Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR). An open-source intelligence system for crisis early warning, AI-based warning receivers for helicopters, and intelligent image processing for missiles feature among the more prominent, publicly known examples of fielded defense AI capabilities. In parallel to adapting defense structures, Germany has stepped up defense funding. While an aggregate number of German defense AI spending is not available, we contend that the country spends around €50M per year on AI-related software development. As defense AI also affects military education and training, the Bundeswehr’s Command and Staff College as well as the University of the Bundeswehr in Hamburg are preparing to adapt existing curricula and setting up new degree courses. Individual military services also explore opportunities for AI-enhanced simulation-based training, while different initiatives have been launched to train defense AI algorithms.

This chapter focuses on the German translations of La Vita of Raffaello by Vasari. Ballestracci focuses her attention on translations into German of the word «disegno», on its complex and multifaceted meanings and its crucial role in Vasari’s work. After presenting all the occurrences of the word forms from the lemma «disegn-», Ballestracci analyses the instances in which «disegn-» was not translated directly as «Zeichnung» in two different target texts. Results of this study confirm the fascinating hypothesis by which the translations of a polysemous term cause the surfacing of meanings in the target text that were hidden in the source text and that, in this particular case, carry key aspects of Vasari’s thought.

AbstractAssessments of aquatic ecosystem health rely increasingly on biological indicators such as fish community structure, but national approaches differ. To use bioindicators efficiently and to allow cross-country comparisons, standardized tools and methods are required. Within this study, currently applied procedures for stream ecosystem assessment in China and Germany are summarized and active and passive fish sampling methodologies used in both countries are investigated. The methodological comparison was based on the results of a joint Chinese German workshops within the SINOWATER project in 2016. A joint sampling campaign was then conducted in 2017 at 6 representative sites within 70 km of the Fan River, a tributary to the Liao River System in Liaoning province, China. Active methods comprised single-pass electrofishing methods as typically applied in Germany and China as well as seining. As passive methods, common minnow traps, gill-netting and longline-fishing were used. To allow the comparability between methods, a standardized sampling design comprising several replicates at each site was chosen, covering a range of different ecological stream conditions. By comparison of the different fishing methodologies, electrofishing yielded the best overall results to assess fish biodiversity in terms of species abundance, richness and catch per unit effort. Differences in the effectiveness of the different electrofishing approaches mostly depended on the power source used. To cover the full spectrum of the fish community and to detect very rare species, a combination of different active and passive methods was most useful. If electrofishing is the method of choice, it is very important to adjust the gear power to river specific conditions such as flow, size and depth. The results of this joint Chinese-German study may aid in the selection of suitable sampling methods for fish community assessments in the future.

Our contribution analyzes the effects of technological dynamics on human work in this phase of profound socio-technical transformation. Taking into consideration research concerning the USA, France, Germany and Italy, it is shown how - "having given a language to machines" - the "anthropomorphic” propensity to consider them more intelligent than humans emerge. Given the enormous existing technical-scientific potential, a growing number of research outline a scenario of the replacement of human work by increasingly "intelligent" machines. The innovative acceleration underway is combined with strong socio-economic and cognitive inequalities in globalized production networks. Consequently, an interdependent and globalized world is experiencing an era of uncertainty and anxiety.

This paper presents the results of a thermodynamic and economic evaluation of a novel hybrid combination of a compressed air energy storage and a combined cycle power plant. The new cycle is modeled on basis of a GE LM6000 gas turbine model, an adiabatic compressor model, an air expander and a conventional dual pressure HRSG configuration. Furthermore, a detailed design of the recuperator is presented. With the simulated components, a storage efficiency of 60% is reached. In CHP configuration the total efficiency of the plant reaches up to 86.2%. The thermodynamic and economic performance is compared to a conventional LM6000 combined cycle. For the economic evaluation the German electricity day-ahead prices and average gas price of the year 2014 are used. Overall it is found that the CAES/CCPP concept exhibits far more operation hours per year and a higher profit margin than the compared CCPP. Taking into account the investment and operational costs, especially with steam extraction the net present value of the novel cycle is higher than that of the combined cycle, despite the challenging market environment for storage technologies in Germany.

Abstract The German strategy of handling spent fuel was focussed on reprocessing since the 1960s although the German breeder projects are phased out since the late 1980s. Therefore, considerable plutonium was separated from German spent fuel and not reused. Some materials are not storable without periodical treatment and must be processed. The question arises whether a product can be fabricated that is also suitable for final disposal. Fabrication of “MOX storage rods” is considered to be the best treatment, especially under German conditions, for this purpose. This treatment can also reduce costs significantly, probably up to one third. The storage rod option is based on techniques of which Europe has large-scale technical experience and only existing facilities are needed. Relevant amounts of plutonium could be processed in a relatively short time, this means several tons per year, starting before 2005.

Full textAbstract:
In the next decades many facilities are going to be decommissioned in Germany. On the basis of the agreement between the utilities and the Federal Government on the phase out of nuclear energy use for commercial electricity generation predictions can be made on the schedule of the shut down of nuclear installations in Germany and a prognosis might be given for the complete amount of decommissioning waste that will arise. 17 nuclear power plants and other nuclear installations are to be shut down and decommissioned within the next 2 decades. An approach for the prediction of the amount of radioactive waste and an overview on the underlying assumptions is given. The prognosis for the expected radioactive waste in Germany depends on several assumptions. Utilities in Germany expect approx. 5000 m3 of radioactive waste with negligible heat-generation from decommissioning per reactor. New inquiries seem to indicate that less radioactive waste may arise due to new techniques in decontamination and conditioning. Nevertheless, there will be limits due to costs and physical properties.

Full textAbstract:
The phase–out of all Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) until 2022 in Germany offer the opportunity to apply new and efficient decommissioning technologies, which allow further reduction of decommissioning costs and minimization of the collective dose for personnel. One challenging task in this process is the decontamination of protective paints containing polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). PCB-containing surfaces demand consecutive radiological decontamination and removal of the PCB-containing paints before the demolition is possible. Laser technology, commonly used in many different industrial sectors, presents an advanced approach to this problem. Successful thermal decomposition of PCB-containing paints using high power diode lasers has been reported by our group in former publications [1]. Ongoing investigations focus on the technology transfer from static laboratory state to industrial application. This includes the verification of safety and efficiency issues for the complete laser supported process. The current presentation covers all aspects of the laser process: concrete sample preparation as well as an experimental set-up utilizing a mobile laser system that includes an innovative laser head. Particular focus will be on the phenomena of the generated concrete surfaces and the arising by-products during laser processing. A 10 kW high power diode laser, Laserline LDF 1500-10000 was used for the ablation experiments. Concrete samples were coated with typical decontamination epoxy-based paints, which match the commonly used paint systems in German NPPs in terms of composition, structure and thickness. The influence of significant processing parameters (laser power, feed rate, type of concrete and composition of paint) on the laser ablation are shown in relation to the energy input per length. The release of particles is subjected to these parameters as well. Therefore the size and the shape of the arising particles have been measured online in accordance with these processing parameters by an Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer (EEPS, Model RP-3090, TSI) in a range between 5.6 to 560 nm. The quantity of particles has also been counted by a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC, Model 3022, TSI). Overall up to 6 million particles per cubic decimeter are detected with a dilution factor of 1:100 throughout the experiments. Both measuring systems are connected to the exhaust air pipe downstream, next to the laser head. The shift of the particle size in accordance with the above mentioned parameters is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the laser decontamination. The mobile laser supported decontamination technology will be tested in 2018 in a German nuclear facility. This test will contain the decontamination process with actual surface configurations like floors, walls, ceilings and corners, and will act as an effective proof-of-concept for the developed laser system prototype.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of marginal land (ML) is dynamic and depends on various factors related to the environment, climate, scale,culture, and economic sector. The current methods for identifying ML are diverse, they employ multiple parameters andvariables derived from land use and land cover, and mostly reflect specific management purposes. A methodologicalapproach for the identification of marginal lands using remote sensing and ancillary data products and validated on samplesfrom four European countries (i.e., Germany, Spain, Greece, and Poland) is presented in this paper. The methodologyproposed combines land use and land cover data sets as excluding indicators (forest, croplands, protected areas,impervious areas, land-use change, water bodies, and permanent snow areas) and environmental constraints informationas marginality indicators: (i) physical soil properties, in terms of slope gradient, erosion, soil depth, soil texture, percentageof coarse soil texture fragments, etc.; (ii) climatic factors e.g. aridity index; (iii) chemical soil properties, including soil pH,cation exchange capacity, contaminants, and toxicity, among others. This provides a common vision of marginality thatintegrates a multidisciplinary approach. To determine the ML, we first analyzed the excluding indicators used to delimit theareas with defined land use. Then, thresholds were determined for each marginality indicator through which the landproductivity progressively decreases. Finally, the marginality indicator layers were combined in Google Earth Engine. Theresult was categorized into 3 levels of productivity of ML: high productivity, low productivity, and potentially unsuitable land.The results obtained indicate that the percentage of marginal land per country is 11.64% in Germany, 19.96% in Spain,18.76% in Greece, and 7.18% in Poland. The overall accuracies obtained per country were 60.61% for Germany, 88.87%for Spain, 71.52% for Greece, and 90.97% for Poland.

Full textAbstract:
This study asks a simple question that has significant implications for gender equality. After decades of increasing female participation in the labor market, advances in the labor legislation and persistent gender wage gaps, what are the effects of motherhood on labor force participation and wages in Latin America? The data presented in this report show that mothers with children under 7 years of age participate less in the labor market than those with no children, except for single mothers. Another interesting result is that female labor force participation generally increases with age and decreases with family responsibilities. In contrast to the evidence found in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany, where mothers earn lower wages than women with no children, the results for Latin America do not show a homogeneous impact of motherhood on wages. While in Peru there exists a penalty for mothers of children under 7, in Bolivia and Brazil there is a premium for being a mother. Ecuador shows no significant effects. This heterogeneity is further investigated by considering public and private sectors, educational levels and age groups. The study finds that wage penalties and premiums are not borne equally among all mothers.

Full textAbstract:
Imports of major arms by European states rose by 47 per cent between 2013–17 and 2018–22, while the global volume of international arms transfers fell by 5.1 per cent. There were decreases in arms transfers to Africa (–40 per cent), the Americas (–21 per cent), Asia and Oceania (–7.5 per cent) and the Middle East (–8.8 per cent) between the two periods. The five largest arms importers in 2018–22 were India, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia and China. The five largest arms exporters were the United States, Russia, France, China and Germany. The war in Ukraine had only a limited impact on the total volume of arms transfers in 2018–22, but Ukraine did become a major importer of arms in 2022. In addition, most European states substantially increased their arms import orders and the war will have significant ramifications for future supplier–recipient arms trade relations globally. From 13 March 2023 the freely accessible SIPRI Arms Transfers Database includes updated data on transfers of major arms for 1950–2022, which replaces all previous data on arms transfers published by SIPRI. Based on the new data, this fact sheet presents global trends in arms exports and arms imports, and highlights selected issues related to transfers of major arms.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this report is to compare the risk communication strategies and public health mitigation measures implemented by Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic based on publicly available documents. The report compares the country responses both in relation to one another and to the recommendations and guidance of the World Health Organization where available. The comparative report is an output of Work Package 1 from the research project PAN-FIGHT (Fighting pandemics with enhanced risk communication: Messages, compliance and vulnerability during the COVID-19 outbreak), which is financially supported by the Norwegian Research Council's extraordinary programme for corona research. PAN-FIGHT adopts a comparative approach which follows a “most different systems” variation as a logic of comparison guiding the research (Przeworski & Teune, 1970). The countries in this study include two EU member States (Sweden, Germany), one which was engaged in an exit process from the EU membership (the UK), and two non-European Union states, but both members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA): Norway and Switzerland. Furthermore, Germany and Switzerland govern by the Continental European Federal administrative model, with a relatively weak central bureaucracy and strong subnational, decentralised institutions. Norway and Sweden adhere to the Scandinavian model—a unitary but fairly decentralised system with power bestowed to the local authorities. The United Kingdom applies the Anglo-Saxon model, characterized by New Public Management (NPM) and decentralised managerial practices (Einhorn & Logue, 2003; Kuhlmann & Wollmann, 2014; Petridou et al., 2019). In total, PAN-FIGHT is comprised of 5 Work Packages (WPs), which are research-, recommendation-, and practice-oriented. The WPs seek to respond to the following research questions and accomplish the following: WP1: What are the characteristics of governmental and public health authorities’ risk communication strategies in five European countries, both in comparison to each other and in relation to the official strategies proposed by WHO? WP2: To what extent and how does the general public’s understanding, induced by national risk communication, vary across five countries, in relation to factors such as social capital, age, gender, socio-economic status and household composition? WP3: Based on data generated in WP1 and WP2, what is the significance of being male or female in terms of individual susceptibility to risk communication and subsequent vulnerability during the COVID-19 outbreak? WP4: Based on insight and knowledge generated in WPs 1 and 2, what recommendations can we offer national and local governments and health institutions on enhancing their risk communication strategies to curb pandemic outbreaks? WP5: Enhance health risk communication strategies across five European countries based upon the knowledge and recommendations generated by WPs 1-4. Pre-pandemic preparedness characteristics All five countries had pandemic plans developed prior to 2020, which generally were specific to influenza pandemics but not to coronaviruses. All plans had been updated following the H1N1 pandemic (2009-2010). During the SARS (2003) and MERS (2012) outbreaks, both of which are coronaviruses, all five countries experienced few cases, with notably smaller impacts than the H1N1 epidemic (2009-2010). The UK had conducted several exercises (Exercise Cygnet in 2016, Exercise Cygnus in 2016, and Exercise Iris in 2018) to check their preparedness plans; the reports from these exercises concluded that there were gaps in preparedness for epidemic outbreaks. Germany also simulated an influenza pandemic exercise in 2007 called LÜKEX 07, to train cross-state and cross-department crisis management (Bundesanstalt Technisches Hilfswerk, 2007). In 2017 within the context of the G20, Germany ran a health emergency simulation exercise with WHO and World Bank representatives to prepare for potential future pandemics (Federal Ministry of Health et al., 2017). Prior to COVID-19, only the UK had expert groups, notably the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), that was tasked with providing advice during emergencies. It had been used in previous emergency events (not exclusively limited to health). In contrast, none of the other countries had a similar expert advisory group in place prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 waves in 2020 All five countries experienced two waves of infection in 2020. The first wave occurred during the first half of the year and peaked after March 2020. The second wave arrived during the final quarter. Norway consistently had the lowest number of SARS-CoV-2 infections per million. Germany’s counts were neither the lowest nor the highest. Sweden, Switzerland and the UK alternated in having the highest numbers per million throughout 2020. Implementation of measures to control the spread of infection In Germany, Switzerland and the UK, health policy is the responsibility of regional states, (Länders, cantons and nations, respectively). However, there was a strong initial centralized response in all five countries to mitigate the spread of infection. Later on, country responses varied in the degree to which they were centralized or decentralized. Risk communication In all countries, a large variety of communication channels were used (press briefings, websites, social media, interviews). Digital communication channels were used extensively. Artificial intelligence was used, for example chatbots and decision support systems. Dashboards were used to provide access to and communicate data.

Full textAbstract:
The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database now contains information on all international transfers of major conventional weapons from 1950 to the end of 2010. It is the only publicly available resource providing consistent data on international arms transfers for this length of time. This Fact Sheet describes the trends in international arms transfers that are revealed by the new data. It lists the main suppliers and recipients for the period 2006–10 and describes the changes in regional trends. The volume of international transfers of major conventional weapons for the period 2006–10 was 24 per cent higher than for the period 2001–2005. The five biggest suppliers in 2006–10 were the United States, Russia, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The five biggest recipients were India, China, South Korea, Pakistan and Greece.

Full textAbstract:
Scenario-based testing is a pillar of assessing the effectiveness of automated driving systems (ADSs). For data-driven scenario-based testing, representative traffic scenarios need to describe real road traffic situations in compressed form and, as such, cover normal driving along with critical and accident situations originating from different data sources. Nevertheless, in the choice of data sources, a conflict often arises between sample quality and depth of information. Police accident data (PD) covering accident situations, for example, represent a full survey and thus have high sample quality but low depth of information. However, for local video-based traffic observation (VO) data using drones and covering normal driving and critical situations, the opposite is true. Only the fusion of both sources of data using statistical matching can yield a representative, meaningful database able to generate representative test scenarios. For successful fusion, which requires as many relevant, shared features in both data sources as possible, the following question arises: How can VO data be collected by drones and analysed to create the maximum number of relevant, shared features with PD? To answer that question, we used the Find–Unify–Synthesise–Evaluation (FUSE) for Representativity (FUSE4Rep) process model.We applied the first (“Find”) and second (“Unify”) step of this model to VO data and conducted drone-based VOs at two intersections in Dresden, Germany, to verify our results. We observed a three-way and a four-way intersection, both without traffic signals, for more than 27 h, following a fixed sample plan. To generate as many relevant information as possible, the drone pilots collected 122 variables for each observation (which we published in the ListDB Codebook) and the behavioural errors of road users, among other information. Next, we analysed the videos for traffic conflicts, which we classified according to the German accident type catalogue and matched with complementary information collected by the drone pilots. Last, we assessed the crash risk for the detected traffic conflicts using generalised extreme value (GEV) modelling. For example, accident type 211 was predicted as happening 1.3 times per year at the observed four-way intersection. The process ultimately facilitated the preparation of VO data for fusion with PD. The orientation towards traffic conflicts, the matched behavioural errors and the estimated GEV allowed creating accident-relevant scenarios. Thus, the model applied to VO data marks an important step towards realising a representative test scenario database and, in turn, safe ADSs.

Agronomic performance and farmer preferences for biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato varieties in Zimbabwe. International Potato Center, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4160/9789290605669.
Full textAbstract:
This report summarizes the findings of a study carried out to evaluate the agronomic performance and sensory acceptance by small holder farmers of six biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties that were first introduced from CIP’s sweetpotato breeding hub for Southern Africa in Mozambique. The study was participatory and carried out under different agroecological environments in Zimbabwe. The six OFSP varieties, namely Alisha, Victoria, Delvia, Sumaia, Namanga and Irene were planted in the 2019/20 agricultural season along with two non-biofortified white-fleshed local varieties, namely Chingova and German II, at seven DR&SS research stations (Kadoma, Marondera, Harare, Henderson, Gwebi, Makoholi and Panmure) and 120 farmer managed on-farm trial sites in 12 LFSP districts of Bindura, Gokwe North, Gokwe South, Guruve, Kwekwe, Makoni, Mazowe, Mount Darwin, Mutasa, Mutare, Shurugwi and Zvimba. At all but one of the research stations, two trials were set up, one under irrigation and the other under rain-fed conditions. On-farm trials were established following the Mother-Baby Trial approach with 2 mother trials and 8 baby trials per district. In each of the districts, one mother trial was planted under irrigation while the other was rain-fed. All the baby trials were rain-fed.
