ON INTEGRATION OF EVOLVING INFRASTRUCTURE TOPOLOGY GRAPHS AND METRIC DATA STREAMS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Modern cloud-based information technology (IT) infrastructure monitoring context and data are gathered from various systems. Typical monitoring systems provide a set of metrics characterizing the performance and health of a variety of infrastructure components. To understand the dependencies and relations among these measurements, the infrastructure topology can be analysed to provide context to the monitoring metrics. However, the metrics and the topology are updated at different time intervals and providing continuous merging and analysis of both data sets is a challenging task which is rarely addressed in the scientific literature. The paper elaborates a method for integration of infrastructure topology graph and monitoring metric data streams. The method is intended for application in the identification of anomalies in IT infrastructure.

Von der Sozialökonomie zur Soziologie des Ökonomischen

Die Autorin thematisiert in ihrem Vortrag die Schwierigkeiten, mit denen die Studierenden im Masterstudiengang "Ökonomische und Soziologische Studien" konfrontiert sind. Diese bestehen ihrer Meinung nach in der Tatsache, dass sich die beiden Disziplinen Ökonomie und Soziologie in ihren erkenntnis- und wissenschaftstheoretischen Positionen so weit voneinander entfernt haben, dass in ihrer Kooperation zwangsläufig Verständnisprobleme auftreten müssen. Die Autorin diskutiert unter anderem die hegemonialen Deutungsansprüche der beiden Fachdisziplinen und die Herausforderungen durch einen "ökonomischen Imperialismus". (ICI

Assessing components of empathy and victim specific empathy in sex-offenders with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The focus of this thesis is empathy in sex offenders with intellectual disabilities (ID). The first section reviews components of empathy, based on Marshall et al.'s (1995) model, in sex-offenders with ID. Due to the paucity of research into empathy in sexoffenders with ID, the review establishes what can be learned from studies investigating components of empathy in sex-offenders without disabilities and in people with ID. Evidence is conflicting and no clear conclusions can be made as to whether sexoffenders or people with ID are deficient in components of empathy. Further research is needed into the components of empathy in sex-offenders with ID, motivating the research carried out in section two. The second section describes a study on components of empathy and victim empathy in sex-offenders with ID. Twenty-one sex-offenders and twenty-one non-offenders with ID were given measures of empathy. In addition the sex-offenders completed a measure of empathy towards their own victim. There were no significant differences between sex-offenders and non-offenders with ID on measures of general or victim empathy, nor on components of empathy. There was no significant relationship between the sexoffenders' scores on empathy towards their own victim and empathy towards nonspecific victims of sexual assault. Sex-offenders who had received treatment performed better on some measures of components of empathy than non-offenders. Limitations and clinical implications are discussed. Further research is needed to understand empathy in sex-offenders with ID. The final section discusses reflections on the research process, including what was learned and areas for future development

Nanocrystalline CaWO4 and ZnWO4 Tungstates for Hybrid Organic–Inorganic X-ray Detectors

The experiment at the DESY PETRA-III synchrotron was performed within project No. I-20211105 EC at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, as the Cen ter of Excellence has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Pro gramme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2.Hybrid materials combining an organic matrix and high-Z nanomaterials show potential for applications in radiation detection, allowing unprecedented device architectures and functionality. Herein, novel hybrid organic–inorganic systems were produced using a mixture of tungstate (CaWO4 or ZnWO4) nanoparticles with a P3HT:PCBM blend. The nano-tungstates with a crystallite size of 43 nm for CaWO4 and 30 nm for ZnWO4 were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Their structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The hybrid systems were used to fabricate direct conversion X-ray detectors able to operate with zero bias voltage. The detector performance was tested in a wide energy range using monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The addition of nanoparticles with high-Z elements improved the detector response to X-ray radiation compared with that of a pure organic P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction cell. The high dynamic range of our detector allows for recording X-ray absorption spectra, including the fine X-ray absorption structure located beyond the absorption edge. The obtained results suggest that nanocrystalline tungstates are promising candidates for application in direct organic–inorganic X-ray detectors.--//-- This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).Latvian Council of Science project No. lzp-2019/1-0071; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2

The family law DOORS: research and practice updates

The Family Law DOORS (FL-DOORS) is a whole-of-family risk screening tool designed for use across the family law sector. It was released in Australia in March 2013. Following on from an earlier evaluation study by the Australian Institute for Family Studies that claimed only limited take-up of the tool, this article addresses the criticisms and presents new evidence on current use of and research with the FL-DOORS, referring to data from over 7,200 cases
