• Non-equilibrium anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy for investigating Higgs modes in superconductors. Glier, Tomke E.; Tian, Sida; Rerrer, Mika; Westphal, Lea; Lüllau, Garret; Feng, Liwen; Dolgner, Jakob; Haenel, Rafael; Zonno, Marta; Eisaki, Hiroshi; Greven, Martin; Damascelli, Andrea; Kaiser, Stefan; Manske, Dirk; Rübhausen, Michael (2025). 16(1) 7027.

  Even before its role in electroweak symmetry breaking, the Anderson-Higgs mechanism was introduced to explain the Meissner effect in superconductors. Spontaneous symmetry-breaking yields massless phase modes representing the low-energy excitations of the Mexican-Hat potential. Only in superconductors the phase mode is shifted towards higher energies owing to the gauge field of the charged condensate. This results in a low-energy excitation spectrum governed by the Higgs mode. Consequently, the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer-like Meissner effect signifies a macroscopic quantum condensate in which a photon acquires mass, representing a one-to-one analogy to high-energy physics. We report on an innovative spectroscopic technique to study symmetries and energies of the Higgs modes in the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 after a soft quench of the Mexican-Hat potential. Population inversion induced by an initial laser pulse leads to an additional anti-Stokes Raman-scattering signal, which is consistent with polarization-dependent Higgs modes. Within Ginzburg-Landau theory, the Higgs-mode energy is connected to the Cooper-pair coherence length. Within a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer weak-coupling model we develop a quantitative and coherent description of single-particle and two-particle channels. This opens the avenue for Higgs Spectroscopy in quantum condensates and provides a unique pathway to control and explore Higgs physics.
• Stability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation inferred by subsidence-corrected sea level change. Boretti, Alberto (2025). 156(8) 434.

  The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a crucial component of the global climate system, responsible for regulating heat distribution and carbon sequestration. The stability of the AMOC is a subject of intense scientific debate, with some studies suggesting an impending collapse due to anthropogenic climate change, while others argue for its resilience and stability based on different proxies. This study highlights how sea level differences, corrected for subsidence, provide a robust and simple proxy for AMOC stability. A comparison of tide gauge data from The Battery, New York, and Brest, France, corrected for land subsidence using GPS measurements, reveals a negligible difference in absolute sea level rise between these locations, reinforcing the stability of the AMOC within the period 1960 to 2024. These findings challenge claims of AMOC weakening and emphasize the necessity of accurate corrections for subsidence in sea level analyses. Future research should focus on refining observational methods and integrating multiple proxies to enhance the understanding of AMOC dynamics and its role in climate change.
• Was von Corona übrig bleibt : Erwerbsarbeit, Sozialstruktur, gesellschaftliche Folgen Kohlrausch, Bettina; Peters, Eileen; Schulze Buschoff, Karin (2025). Campus, Frankfurt am Main.

  Die Corona-Pandemie hat das Leben aller Menschen in Deutschland fundamental betroffen. Fünf Jahre nach ihrem Ausbruch im März 2020 ziehen die Beiträge dieses Bandes Bilanz darüber, welche Spuren die Pandemie in der Gesellschaft hinterlassen hat. Von der verstärkten Nutzung des Homeoffice über die Herausforderungen für Selbstständige bis hin zu den Veränderungen in der Mitbestimmung: Die Beiträge zeigen, wie sich Arbeitsformen und soziale Ungleichheiten entwickelt haben und welche Lehren daraus gezogen werden können. Themen wie die Krise in der beruflichen Ausbildung, geschlechtsspezifische Arbeitszeitmuster während der Pandemie sowie soziale Ungleichheit und Armut stehen ebenfalls im Fokus. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf den gesellschaftspolitischen Auswirkungen der Pandemiemaßnahmen: Sorgen und Belastungen führten bei einigen Bürger:innen zu einer politischen Entfremdung und einer nachhaltigen Stärkung antidemokratischer Kräfte. Gestützt auf Daten aus den WSI-Erhebungen und die fundierten Analysen der Autor:innen wird verdeutlicht, was von Corona bleibt – und wie die Gesellschaft in Zukunft besser auf Krisen reagieren kann.
• Rapid depletion and super-resolution microscopy reveal dual roles of SRSF5 in coordinating nuclear speckle-paraspeckle crosstalk during cellular stress. Okuda, Ellen Kazumi; Kessler, Laurell Fridolin; Arnold, Benjamin; Riegger, Ricarda J; Hernández Cañás, Maria Clara; Zebrowska, Ewelina; Bakisoglu, Cem; Rudigier, Mara; Krost, Christine; Nagasse, Helder Y; Keiten-Schmitz, Jan; Müller, Stefan; Stanek, David; Dormann, Dorothee; Zarnack, Kathi; Heilemann, Mike; Müller-McNicoll, Michaela (2025). 53(14) gkaf713-.

  Nuclear speckles (NS) and paraspeckles (PS) are adjacent yet distinct nuclear condensates that undergo stress-induced reorganization. Here, we identify a dual role for the splicing factor SRSF5 in coordinating the crosstalk between both condensates. Super-resolution imaging shows that SRSF5, while enriched in NS, also overlaps with the shell of a subset of PS. SRSF5 binds purine-rich sequences at the 5' end of NEAT1_2 promoting its alignment to PS shells and the formation of large PS cluster during stress. We propose that SRSF5 binding occurs transiently during PS maturation and must later be removed from NEAT1_2 by nuclear helicases. Inhibition of this remodeling by rocaglamide A, which locks helicases onto purine-rich RNA leads to the aberrant fusion of PS and NS, which can be partially rescued by acute SRSF5 depletion. Surprisingly, while short-term SRSF5 loss impairs PS formation, prolonged depletion activates a feedback loop involving intron retention and premature polyadenylation of TARDBP, reduction of TDP-43 levels and NEAT1_2 isoform switching, ultimately restoring PS clusters. Our findings reveal that SRSF5 serves both architectural and regulatory roles in PS biogenesis and that helicase-mediated remodeling is essential to maintain PS identity and function under stress. These insights uncover fundamental principles of nuclear body dynamics.
• Sentiment Patterns in YouTube Comments: A Comprehensive Analysis. Shetty, Savitha; Shetty, Saritha; B, Priya Kamath; Shetty, Deepthi (2025). 10(3) 157–172.

  Archer, W. (2000). Critical inquiry in a text-based environment: Computer conferencing in higher education. The Internet and Higher Education, 2(2–3), 87–105.] community of inquiry (CoI) framework has generated substantial interest among online learning researchers. This literature review examines recent research pertaining to the overall framework as well as to specific studies on social, teaching, and cognitive presence. We then use the findings from this literature to identify potential future directions for research. Some of these research directions include the need for more quantitatively-oriented studies, the need for more cross-disciplinary studies, and the opportunities for identifying factors that moderate and/or extend the relationship between the framework's components and online course outcomes.

• The Impact of AI-Based Real-Time Gesture Generation and Immersion on the Perception of Others and Interaction Quality in Social XR. Merz, Christian; Krome, Niklas; Wienrich, Carolin; Kopp, Stefan; Latoschik, Marc Erich (2025).

  This study explores how people interact in dyadic social eXtended Reality (XR), focusing on two main factors: the animation type of a conversation partner’s avatar and how immersed the user feels in the virtual environment. Specifically, we investigate how 1) idle behavior, 2) AI-generated gestures, and 3) motion-captured movements from a confederate (a controlled partner in the study) influence the quality of conversation and how that partner is perceived. We examined these effects in both symmetric interactions (where both participants use VR headsets and controllers) and asymmetric interactions (where one participant uses a desktop setup). We developed a social XR platform that supports asymmetric device configurations to provide varying levels of immersion. The platform also supports a modular avatar animation system providing idle behavior, real-time AI-generated co-speech gestures, and full-body motion capture. Using a 2×3 mixed design with 39 participants, we measured users’ sense of spatial presence, their perception of the confederate, and the overall conversation quality. Our results show that users who were more immersed felt a stronger sense of presence and viewed their partner as more human-like and believable. Surprisingly, however, the type of avatar animation did not significantly affect conversation quality or how the partner was perceived. Participants often reported focusing more on what was said rather than how the avatar moved.
• Atmospheric and oceanic energy transport during North Atlantic freshening events: influences of moisture transport and hydrologic cycle feedbacks. Baek, Seung H.; Lora, Juan M.; Skinner, Christopher B.; Fu, Minmin; Zhu, Jiang (2025). 63(8) 301.

  Analogs of present-day rapid ice melt can be found in episodic discharges of icebergs that occurred during glacial periods called Heinrich events. This introduces excess meltwater into the North Atlantic and weakens the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (AMOC), triggering a hydrologic cycle--AMOC collapse feedback as the atmospheric energy transport compensates for reduced northward heat transport. Here we employ a novel series of 100-year North Atlantic ``hosing'' simulations to investigate atmospheric and oceanic energy transport response from freshwater forcing, focusing in particular on the role of atmospheric rivers (ARs) within atmospheric energy transport. Importantly, we use an ``overwriting'' methodology that allow us to attribute AMOC weakening to added North Atlantic meltwater and subsequent hydrologic cycle responses, respectively. In contrast to far-reaching response of transient eddies, our results show a substantial increase in moisture convergence from ARs that is geographically constrained to the North Atlantic midlatitudes. Such AR changes nevertheless comprise an important component of net precipitation changes over the Euro-Atlantic sector, with the amount being comparable to that from transient eddies over the subpolar Atlantic. Over the course of the century-long simulations, we demonstrate that hydrologic cycle responses to North Atlantic freshening and subsequent feedbacks, including those from ARs, account for approximately half of the simulated AMOC collapse. Our work highlights the dynamics of atmospheric moisture transport response to North Atlantic freshening events and elucidates how intensifying moisture transport may accelerate AMOC collapse in the future.
• Promoting students’ motivation in language education with gamified pedagogical conversational agents. Khosrawi-Rad, Bijan; Keller, Paul Felix; Benner, Dennis; Grogorick, Linda; Borchers, Arne; Janson, Andreas; Leimeister, Jan Marco; Robra-Bissantz, Susanne (2025). 238(December, 105374) 1–24.

  Pedagogical conversational agents (PCAs) like chatbots are a novel approach to technology-mediated language learning with artificial intelligence. They convey learning content interactively and accompany students in their education. However, many users find conversations with PCAs unmotivating. Gamification is a suitable solution to these motivational hurdles due to its playful nature. Given the difficulty of selecting the appropriate game elements and the scarcity of design recommendations for gamified PCAs, we propose the GNPL framework including a cohesive set of four design principles: goal-setting and reflection, novice-expert relationship, performance-related motivation, and learning story narration. In two design cycles, the article shows the application of the design principles in English learning – a domain commonly associated with motivational challenges – by implementing and evaluating a gamified PCA. The results show that the design principles significantly foster learners' motivation and that learners perceive a solid language learning experience, expressed by higher perceived value and social factors. They highlight the relevance of aligning the PCA's social role, the motivational impact of gamification, and the educational goals of the learning context. The design principles guide educators and developers in gamified PCA design. The paper contributes to the theory stream of PCAs by investigating learners' motivation enhancement when using PCAs. In addition, the paper provides new knowledge on meaningful gamification in an unexplored context and practical insights to solve the design challenges of selecting game elements in this context. Furthermore, it shows how language education can be supported by educational technology.

• GF stimulation alters the transcriptome and surface TrkB expression in axons of dorsal root ganglion neurons. Koch, Maximilian; Kshirsagar, Manas; Rawat, Ankita; Zare, Abdolhossein; Schlott, Felicitas; Bischler, Thorsten; Arampatzi, Panagiota; Briese, Michael; Sendtner, Michael (2025). 100194.

  Nerve growth factor (NGF) is released after injury from macrophages and other cell types and induces an inflammatory response in neurons, characterized by local subcellular reactions and transcriptomic modulation. NGF-induced axonal transcriptome modulation may be crucial for pain initiation and maintenance. To explore these acute modulations, we cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons in microfluidic chambers and stimulated the axons with NGF. We found that axonal levels of the Il7 transcript encoding interleukin-7 (IL-7) are increased after NGF stimulation, followed by IL-7 release from axons. In growth cones of sensory neurons, we also observed a reorganization of the ribosomal subunits 60S and 40S in response to NGF stimulation. In addition, a dynamic change in the spatio-temporal distribution of the Tropomyosin Kinase B (TrkB) receptor occurs at the plasma membrane of sensory neuron growth cones. TrkB is recruited from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leading to increased cell surface levels. De-novo synthesis of TrkB seems to be limited to somatic regions of sensory neurons. Thus, cytosolic mechanisms within distal regions of the sensory neurons may autonomously regulate signaling and translation in response to external NGF stimuli.

  Der Beitrag untersucht die strategische Bedeutung der Arbeitsmigration für Gewerkschaften im Kontext des Arbeitskräftemangels und eines radikalisierten Migrationsdiskurses. Obwohl die Gewerkschaften in ihrer Beziehung zu Migrant*innen in der Vergangenheit zwischen Solidarität und Distanzierung geschwankt haben, sind sie zu wichtigen Räumen für die Organisation der Interessen von Arbeitsmigrant*innen und zu Schlüsselakteuren bei der Verteidigung ihrer Rechte geworden. Die Organisierung von Arbeitsmigrant*innen im hochgradig prekären Niedriglohnsektor ist nach wie vor eine besondere Herausforderung. Zu den Strategien der Gewerkschaften gehören nicht nur spezialisierte Beratungs- und Unterstützungsstrukturen, sondern auch politische Lobbyarbeit für gleiche Arbeitsstandards.
• Abschieben und anwerben. Gewerkschaftliche Handlungsmöglichkeiten in der aktuellen migrationspolitischen Debatte. Löw, Neva (2025). 78(3) 231–233.

  Wie können sich Gewerkschaften in der aufgeheizten Debatte um Migration solidarisch positionieren? Die aktuelle migrationspolitische Debatte ist durch zwei Momente gekennzeichnet, die sich gegenseitig bedingen, aber auf den ersten Blick widersprüchlich erscheinen: das Abschieben und Anwerben ausländischer Arbeitskräfte. In dieser aufgeladenen politischen Situation ist es wichtiger denn je, dass es den Gewerkschaften gelingt, durch den Ausbau solidarischer Strategien das Kräfteverhältnis zu ihren Gunsten zu verschieben. Die Erfahrungen aus den Willkommensbewegungen 2015 können Hinweise darauf liefern, wie dies zu bewerkstelligen ist.
• Pflege zwischen Macht und Ohnmacht – Der Fachkräftemangel in Krankenhäusern. Mohan, Robin (2025). 78(2) 90–98.

  Der Fachkräftemangel wird in jüngster Zeit wieder vermehrt diskutiert. In der Regel wird unterstellt, dass er die Machtposition der Beschäftigten gegenüber den Arbeitgebern verbessert. Der Beitrag widmet sich der Frage, warum dieses Machtpotenzial bisher nicht in stärkerem Maße genutzt wird. Es wird dabei davon ausgegangen, dass diese Frage in verschiedenen Arbeitsfeldern unterschiedlich zu beantworten ist, da jeweils spezifische Konstellationen von Angebot und Nachfrage vorherrschen. Das wird anhand der Krankenhauspflege spezifiziert. Dabei werden auch die Deutungen der Arbeitsmarktsituation durch die Akteur*innen selbst fokussiert, denn sie bilden einen Teil der Konstellation von Macht und Ohnmacht, werden jedoch in der bisherigen Forschung zu wenig berücksichtigt. Auf der Grundlage von Interviews mit Führungs- und Pflegekräften, die im Rahmen von qualitativen Betriebsfallstudien in drei Krankenhäusern durchgeführt wurden, wird gezeigt, dass der Fachkräftemangel eine ambivalente Wirkung hat: Er wird zwar zum Teil von den Pflegenden als zu nutzendes Machtpotenzial interpretiert, begründet jedoch auch ein Narrativ der kollektiven Handlungsunfähigkeit.
• Conflict Flow Avoided Proactive Rerouting Algorithm using Online Active Learning for Efficient Transmission of Datastream in Software Defined Networks. Subramaniam, Kalaivani; Arumugam, and Sumathi (N. Meghanathan, ed.) (2025). 17(4) 1–19.

  Traditional or default Software-Defined Networking (SDN) generally relies on reactive or static routing, where a new flow entry is added for a new arriving packet in a switch. This can create inefficiencies in processing dynamic network conditions. To solve this issue, a Machine Learning-based Proactive Rerouting Scheme (MLPRS) has been developed to dynamically balance load in real-time networks by rerouting flow and enhancing Quality of Service (QoS) compared to the default SDN. However, SDN can face challenges from conflicting flows occurring due to priority and action adjustments that may affect network throughput and bandwidth. Therefore, this article introduces an Online Active ML-based Conflict Flow Avoided Proactive Rerouting Algorithm (OAMLCFAPRA) to discriminate between normal and conflict flows in SDN based on the behavioural changes of flows over time. To achieve this, an online learning algorithm with a customized weighting scheme called Iterative Confidence-Weighted Learning (ICWL) is executed in the controller plane. Initially, it preprocesses the generated flows and trains the ICWL to identify them as normal and conflicting based on their behavioural features. Then, the priorities of each flow are assigned by the ICWL, and the normal flows are directed to OpenFlow. Additionally, the ICWL classifies the conflicting flows into several types based on their features such as priority, IP address, and action. Moreover, the betweenness centrality algorithm determines each link’s significance, and the load on each link is monitored. When the most significant link is overloaded, the flow is rerouted to prevent congestion in real-time. Finally, experimental results show that the ICWL achieves high accuracy in classifying conflict flow types and the OAMLCFAPRA increases network throughput and bandwidth compared to conventional algorithms.

• Überlegungen zu einer wirksamen sozioökologischen Gewerkschaftspolitik. Räthzel, Nora; Stevis, Dimitris (2025). 78(3) 227–230.

  Jedes Produkt hat einen Lebenszyklus, der mit der Entnahme von Ressourcen aus der Natur beginnt und mit der Abgabe seiner Reste in die Natur endet. Ob ein Produkt ökologisch sinnvoll und sozial gerecht produziert wurde, kann nur anhand seines Lebenszyklus beurteilt werden. So erfordern z. B. Windturbinen, Solaranlagen, Elektroautos ein Vielfaches an Mineralien, verursachen ein Vielfaches an Naturzerstörung, befördern lokale und globale soziale Ungleichheiten und neue Formen geopolitischer Konkurrenz- und Machtverhältnisse. Das macht grünes Wachstum fragwürdig. Aus diesen Voraussetzungen entwickeln die Autorin und der Autor vier Kriterien für eine effektive sozialökologische Gewerkschaftspolitik.
• Fire Impacts, vegetation Recovery, and environmental drivers in West African savannas (2014–2023): A High-Resolution remote sensing assessment. Ouattara, Boris; Thiel, Michael; Forkuor, Gerald; Mouillot, Florent; Laris, Paul; Tondoh, Ebagnerin Jérôme; Sponholz, Barbara (2025). 143(104783) 22.

  Savanna fires are a dominant ecological force in West Africa, shaping land systems, carbon dynamics, and biodiversity. Yet, their impacts on ecosystem productivity and recovery remain poorly quantified at meaningful spatial and temporal scales. This study presents a decadal assessment (2014–2023) of fire activity and post-fire vegetation response across a ~ 229,000 km2 transboundary region of Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Cˆote d’Ivoire. Using Harmonized Landsat–Sentinel (HLS) imagery and VIIRS active fire detections, we mapped burned areas (BA) at 30 m resolution—capturing extensive small fires often missed by global datasets. Fire-induced Net Primary Productivity (NPP) losses were estimated using downscaled MODIS productivity data, and post-fire recovery times were tracked at monthly and annual scales. Fires were highly seasonal, with > 80 % of BA occurring between November and January, peaking in December. Despite a dip around 2017, interannual BA remained relatively stable (0.29 % / yr increase, p > 0.05). Immediate NPP losses averaged ~ 11 × 10–2 Mg C ha per year, with higher per-hectare losses in forested and high-biomass zones. Roughly 65 % of BA recovered to pre-fire NPP levels within a year, primarily in grasslands and croplands. However, recovery in woody and mesic areas was slower and more variable. We emphasize that recovery was assessed in terms of NPP (carbon uptake), not structural biomass or species composition—functional recovery does not necessarily imply full ecological recovery. Using machine learning, we identified soil moisture (dry-season NDMI) and temperature as dominant predictors of recovery time, with soil fertility (nitrogen content) and water retention capacity emerging as key drivers. Interestingly, fire frequency and land cover type had limited predictive power once climate and soil factors were accounted for, suggesting that environmental factors, more than fire regime characteristics, shape recovery. These findings support the idea that well-timed, low-intensity fires—particularly early-season burns—can promote carbon resilience in fire-adapted landscapes. This underscores the value of high-resolution remote sensing and soil data in guiding fire-smart management and balancing ecological and livelihood goals under climate change.
• Wertschöpfungsketten im Wandel. Sorgt die europäische Lieferkettenrichtlinie für soziale Nachhaltigkeit ?. Lorenzen, Stefanie (2025). 78(3) 218–222.

  Disruptionen, Geopolitik und Klimawandel beeinflussen globale Wertschöpfungsketten u. a. durch einen Wettbewerb um kritische Rohstoffe. Flankiert wird dies vom politischen Streben nach größerer sozialer und ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit. Die EU-Lieferkettenrichtlinie (CSDDD) soll hierzu beitragen, indem sie großen Unternehmen Sorgfaltspflichten zur Vermeidung von Menschenrechts- und Umweltbeeinträchtigungen in ihren Lieferketten auferlegt. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass die CSDDD Gewerkschaften und NGOs Möglichkeiten einräumt, die Wirksamkeit unternehmerischer Maßnahmen im Sinne der Betroffenen zu beeinflussen. Was das bedeuten kann, wird anhand von drei Beispielen aus der Automobilbranche skizziert.

• Neuronal toxicity and recovery from early bortezomib-induced neuropathy: blood-nerve barrier dysfunction without dorsal root ganglion damage. Atalla, Mariam Sobhy; Bettenhausen, Anna-Lena; Verse, Julius M.; Cebulla, Nadine; Krug, Susanne M.; Sauer, Reine-Solange; Srivastava, Mugdha; Bischler, Thorsten; Chen, Jeremy T.C; Kortüm, K. Martin; Kittel, Robert J.; Sommer, Claudia; Rittner, Heike L. (2025).

  Background: The use of the first in class proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) is highly effective in the treatment of multiple myeloma. However, its long-term use is limited by the fact that most treated patients develop painful polyneuropathy. In some of the treated patients, pain resolves with time; in others, it persists, with the underlying mechanisms poorly understood. One prerequisite for neural toxicity is the ability of a drug to penetrate the blood-nerve barrier. Methods: Here, we analysed the pathways involved in early BTZ-induced polyneuropathy development and its resolution in rats and in myeloma patients using pain behaviour, barrier analysis, transcriptomics, immunohistochemistry, and clinical data. Results: One cycle of BTZ elicited transient tactile and cold allodynia in rats. Transcriptomic signature and network analysis revealed regulation of circadian, extracellular matrix, and immune genes within the nerve and modest changes in the dorsal root ganglia. Recovery processes resealed the small molecule leakiness of the perineurial barrier, reversed axonal swelling, and normalised fibre density in the skin. Expression of the microtubule-associated cytoskeletal protein cortactin matched this process in the perineurium. Netrin-1 as a known barrier sealer was also upregulated in pain resolution in nerve and skin. In patients with painful BTZ-induced polyneuropathy, skin innervation was reduced and netrin-1 was unchanged, compatible with the persistence of pain. Conclusions: In summary, our data demonstrate that early bortezomib toxicity targets mainly peripheral nerves and indicate that pain resolution could be supported by protective growth factors such as netrin-1 for remodelling of the extracellular matrix and neuronal barriers.

• In Palantir we trust? Regulation of data analysis platforms in public security. Ulbricht, Lena; Egbert, Simon (2024). 11(3)

  Organizations increasingly rely on digital technologies to perform tasks. To do so, they have to integrate data banks to make the data usable. We argue that there is a growing, academically underexplored market consisting of data integration and analysis platforms. We explain that, especially in the public sector, the regulatory implications of data integration and analysis must be studied because they affect vulnerable citizens and because it is not just a matter of state agencies overseeing technology companies but also of the state overseeing itself. We propose a platform-theory-based conceptual approach that directs our attention towards the specific characteristics of platforms—such as datafication, modularity, and multilaterality and the associated regulatory challenges. Due to a scarcity of empirical analyses about how public sector platforms are regulated, we undertake an in-depth case study of a data integration and analysis platform operated by Palantir Technologies in the German federal state of Hesse. Our analysis of the regulatory activities and conflicts uncovers many obstacles to effective platform regulation. Drawing on recent initiatives to improve intermediary liability, we ultimately point to additional paths for regulating public sector platforms. Our findings also highlight the importance of political factors in platform regulation-as-a-practice. We conclude that platform regulation in the public sector is not only about technology-specific regulation but also about general mechanisms of democratic control, such as the separation of power, public transparency, and civil rights.

• DATA WAREHOUSING AS KNOWLEDGE POOL : A VITAL COMPONENT OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE. Aljuwaiber, Abobakr (A. Aljuwaiber, ed.) (2022). 12(2/3/4)

  Increasing amounts of information and diverse formats have forced organizations to create large data repositories in response to the information explosion in the 21st century. As a result, the model of a data warehouse has been introduced to define a large data repository. The purpose of this article is to describe the principles of data warehousing in business and how it can enhance the generation of new knowledge throughout the organization. Definitions of data warehousing are considered and include methods of its use, namely query and data simulation. The steps required prior to transforming the raw data into a data warehouse and project goals for data warehouses and metadata are also discussed. The objective of this document is to provide a clear and simple description of data warehousing terms and concepts, especially for busy managers and laymen. They may only need basic and direct information about data warehouses to gain a complete understanding of the principles of the data warehouse.

  A simple and robust C++ code for the material point method (MPM) called Karamelo is presented here. It was designed to provide an open source, fast, light and easy-to-modify framework for both conducting research on the MPM and research using the MPM, instead of a finite element package. This paper presents the overall philosophy, the main design choices and some of the original algorithms implemented in Karamelo. Simulations of solids and fluids involving extreme deformation are provided to illustrate the capabilities of the code.

  Failures related to inadequate spacers and spacer dampers have forced utilities to review all aspects of bundled transmission line design. Most utilities are now using spacer dampers instead of rigid spacers. Many are looking at new bundle designs, including diamond and six bundle. Utilities are also requiring much stricter quality test.

• Handbook of the Normal Distribution Patel, Jagdish K.; Read, Campbell B. in Statistics: Textbooks and Monographs (1982). (First , Vol. 40) Marcel Dekker, Basel.

  This book contains a collection of results relating to the normal distribution. It is a compendium of properties, and problems of analysis and proof are not covered. The aim of the authors has been to list results which will be useful to theoretical and applied researchers in statistics as well as to students. Distributional properties are emphasized, both for the normal law itself and for statistics based on samples from normal populations. The book covers the early historical development of the normal law (Chapter 1); basic distributional properties, including references to tables and to algorithms suitable for computers (Chapters 2 and 3); properties of sampling distributions, including order statistics (Chapters 5 and 8), Wiener and Gaussian processes (Chapter 9); and the bivariate normal distribution (Chapter 10). Chapters 4 and 6 cover characterizations of the normal law and central limit theorems, respectively; these chapters may be more useful to theoretical statisticians. A collection of results showing how other distributions may be approximated by the normal law completes the coverage of the book (Chapter 7). Several important subjects are not covered. There are no tables of distributions in this book, because excellent tables are available elsewhere; these are listed, however, with the accuracy and coverage in the sources. The multivariate normal distribution other than the bivariate case is not discussed; the general linear v vi Preface model and regression models based on normality have been amply documented elsewhere; and the applications of normality in the methodology of statistical inference and decision theory would provide material for another volume on their own.
