<p class="p1">We report the 'standoff detection' of explosives at 1 m in laboratory conditions, for the first time in India, using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis. The spectra of a set of five secondary explosives were recorded at a distance of 1 m from the focusing as well as collection optics. The plasma characteristics viz., plasma temperature and electron density were estimated from Boltzmann statistics and Stark broadening respectively. Plasma temperature was estimated to be of the order of (10.9 ± 2.1) .103 K and electron density of (3.9 ± 0.5) .1016 cm-3. Using a ratiometric approach, C/H and H/O ratios showed a good correlation with the actual stoichiometric ratios and a partial identification success could be achieved. Finally employing principle component analysis, an excellent classification could be attained.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

The data have been recorded with the CMS experiment at the LHC during low luminosity operations in 2015. The energy density is studied as a function of pseudorapidity in the ranges -6.6«-5.2 and 3.15< ; <5.20. The results are compared with the predictions of several models. All the models considered suggest a different shape of the pseudorapidity dependence compared to that observed in the data. A comparison with LHC proton-proton collision data at s=0.9 and 7 TeV confirms the compatibility of the data with the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation.

The article is devoted to the studies of the function of bone artefacts with ornamentation and signs from the Ust-Polui sacral production center. Functional groups of items with and without décor were identified and compared to each other according to the use-wear pattern. The main elements and compositions of the decorations that are typical for the certain categories were studied. The location and ways of ornamentation and signs were analyzed. It was shown that buckles, combs and armored plates make up the largest percentage of ornamentally decorated items, while signs are often applied to scrapers-blades. Fish knives, hooks, chisel-shaped tools, wedges, needles, harpoons and arrowheads except two of them have no decoration elements. The oblique cuts and small notches on the edges of several items made of the reindeer harness apparently were technologically meaningful. The bone products of the Ust-Polui are characterized by geometric ornaments with a small set of elements and their combinations. A pattern consisting of one or more wavy lines, made using the technique of fine-contour or oval-notched carving, was a common decorative element for functionally various items. It was complemented by compositions of straight or broken lines. There is no correlation between degree of wear and the presence or absence of decor in tools of the same category. Armor plates, buckles, combs, scrapers-spatulas had most strong wear traces among the specimens with ornamentation. Geometric signs were found on a bow plate, 2 belt hooks, 3 spoons and 14 scrapers-spatulas. They have a different carving quality and shape. There were often 2 signs carved on the items; some signs were applied to the surface of the scrapers after their long-term use.

The European Green Deal has re-ignited the imperative of green finance that is called to support the European Union transition to a greener economy. Green finance becomes even more opportune in the context of the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the paper is to explore green banking practices in the Romanian banking system. The investigation reveals the efforts of banks to be environmentally friendly and to be involved in financing of some green projects, such as the energy efficient projects. Nevertheless, the green banking products are still in the emerging stage and banks in Romania should develop their role in the field, by diversifying the range of green products and services, improving the expertise to assess green projects or intensifying the marketing initiatives to promote green products. In order to encourage banks in Romania to provide green financing several incentives should be conceived; similar to banks, the borrowers seeking green projects should be rewarded. Some mandatory requirements for banks to be involved in green investments may promote green banking in Romania. An essential condition to achieve the development of green banking in Romania is to increase awareness towards environmentally friendly behaviour at all levels.

Diese Doktorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellung von Kriegen in TV-Nachrichten durch Visual Frames. Fernsehnachrichten spielen eine Schlüsselrolle, wenn es um die Legitimation von Kriegen in weit entfernten Ländern geht. Durch das Leitmedium Fernsehen erfahren die meisten Menschen über diese Konflikte. Durch Bilder und Videos erhalten die Zuschauer*innen die Illusion, sich selbst eine objektive Meinung von den Zuständen vor Ort bilden zu können, da man es ja mit den eigenen Augen gesehen hat. Doch die gezeigten Videos und Bilder in Kombination mit Text sind immer nur eine von vielen Möglichkeiten, einen Konflikt darzustellen. Welcher visuelle Frame jedoch ausgewählt wird, ist von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Meinungsbildung der Zuschauer*innen. In dieser Arbeit wurde daher untersucht, welche Visual Frames in Fernsehnachrichten verwendet werden, um über Kriege zu berichten. Zusätzlich wurde gefragt, mit welchen Visual Frames die Fernsehsendungen den Krieg legitimieren und unter welchen Umständen diese Visual Frames entstanden sind. Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurde eine multidimensionale Untersuchung der drei bedeutendsten TV-Nachrichtensendungen in Deutschland (Tagesthemen), Frankreich (Le Journal de 20 Heures) und Großbritannien (News at Ten) vorgenommen. In einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse wurden der Umfang, die Darstellungsformen der Berichterstattung und die Ansprechpartner*innen für Leitfaden-Interviews ermittelt. In einer vertiefenden quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse wurden neben Bild- und Sequenztypen in den Nachrichten auch die Video-Materialquellen, Genderaspekte und die häufigsten O-Tongeber*innen erfasst. Schließlich wurden durch eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse 13 Visual War Frames identifiziert. Diese kamen in der Berichterstattung von allen drei Sendungen immer dann vor, wenn der Krieg legitimiert wurde. Immer wenn der Krieg kritisiert oder in Frage gestellt wurde, geschah dies dadurch, dass diese Visual War Frames hinterfragt oder auf-gebrochen wurden. Die Hauptargumentation der Visual War Frames besteht darin, dass es in dem Konflikt zwei grundverschiedene Gruppen gibt: "Die Guten" (das Freundbild und das Selbstbild) und "Die Bösen" (das Feindbild) und dass diese Gruppen keine Alternative besitzen, als Krieg miteinander zu führen. Um mehr über die Hintergründe der Entstehung dieser Visual Frames in der Berichterstattung zu erfahren, wurden Leitfaden-Interviews mit 14 Korrespondent*inn*en und Entscheider*inne*n geführt, die an der Libyen-Berichterstattung beteiligt waren. Die vorliegende Dissertation hat ein eigenes Konzept für Visual Framing entwickelt und eine übergreifende Visual-Frame-Typologie für TV-Kriegsberichterstattung erstellt, die nun für zukünftige Forschung zur Verfügung steht. Außerdem sollen die Ergebnisse dieser Studie die Journalist*inn*en, die täglich mit Krisen und Kriegsberichterstattung zu tun haben, dafür sensibilisieren, welche visuellen Frames teilweise unbewusst in der Medienberichterstattung verwendet werden. Unter Zeitdruck und unklarer Faktenlage fällt es leicht, auf alte und bekannte Muster bzw. Visual Frames zurückzugreifen. Diese Arbeit soll somit einen Beitrag leisten, damit Kriegsberichterstatter*innen ihre eigene Arbeit kritisch überprüfen können, indem sie abgleichen, ob sie gerade, ohne es zu wollen, mit Visual War Frames berichten. ; Visual War Frames – War Reporting in TV News. The conflict in Libya in 2011 in Tagesthemen (ARD), Le Journal de 20 Heures (TF1) and the News at Ten (BBC). This PhD thesis examines the depiction of wars in TV news through visual framing. Television news plays a key role when it comes to legitimizing wars in distant countries. Most people learn about these conflicts through television as a leading medium. Through pictures and videos, the viewers get the illusion of being able to form an objective opinion of the conditions on site, as one has seen it with one's own eyes. But the videos and pictures shown in combination with the text are only one of many ways to present a conflict. Which visual frame is chosen, however, is of crucial importance for the opinion-forming of the viewers. Therefore, this thesis investigated which visual frames are used in television news to report about wars. The subordinate questions were: Which visual frames are used in TV news to legitimize war and under what circumstances were these visual frames created? In order to answer these questions, a multidimensional investigation was carried out of the three most influential TV-newscasts in Germany (Tagesthemen), France (Le Journal de 20 Heures) and the United Kingdom (News at Ten). In a quantitative content analysis, the scope, presentation forms of the reporting and contact persons for interviews were determined. In a subsequent in-depth quantitative content analysis (of the three most important months during the war) the picture-types and sequence-types of the reporting were examined. In addition the video material source was noted down, gender aspects were included and the most frequent voices of the reports were analyzed. In a following qualitative content analysis of selected days during the war 13 visual war frames were identified. These appeared in the coverage of all three programs whenever the war was legitimized. If the war was criticized these frames were questioned. The main argumentation of the Visual War Frames is that there are two fundamentally different groups in the conflict: "The Good guys" (the friend-image and the self-image) and "The Evil ones" (the enemy image) and that these groups have no alternative but to wage war with each other. In order to learn more about the background of the creation of these visual frames in reporting, guided interviews with 14 correspondents and decision-makers involved in Libya reporting were conducted. This dissertation has developed its own concept for visual framing and a comprehensive visual frame typology for TV war reporting, which is now available for future research. In addition the results of this study are meant to sensitize journalists that work daily in war and crisis reporting about the sometimes unconscious decisions to use these visual war frames. This work is therefore intended to help war correspondents critically review their own work by comparing whether they are reporting with Visual War Frames without intention.

The article reveals the features of the contemporary humanitarian development of Ukrainian society and analyzes the reasons for the failures in implementing the proclaimed reforms in the social and humanitarian sphere. Based on the analysis of the current policy in the field of healthcare, education and culture, the relevance of the formation of the institutional foundations of humanitarian policy in the context of creating conditions for the development of human potential has been proved. The main measures aimed at modernization of the public humanitarian policy have been determined. The expediency of the adoption of the strategic document has been justified – the concept of the public humanitarian policy as a component of the system of social and humanitarian security, an important mechanism for the formation of a democratic social state based on law. ; Розкрито особливості сучасного гуманітарного розвитку українськогосуспільства та проаналізовано причини невдач у реалізації проголошених реформ у соціогуманітарній сфері. На підставі аналізу сучасної політики у сфері охорони здоров'я, освіти, культури доведено актуальність формування інституційних засад гуманітарної політики у контексті створення умов для розвитку людського потенціалу. Визначено основні заходи, спрямовані на модернізацію державної гуманітарної політики. Обґрунтовано доцільність ухвалення стратегічного документа – концепції державноїгуманітарної політики як складової системи соціогуманітарної безпеки, важливого механізму формування демократичної соціальної правової держави.

Bayesian methods can be very useful in modeling applications used in risk assessments. For example, a Bayesian analysis can be used to provide a probabilistic comparison of different probability models relative to a set of data, as well as to provide uncertainty bounds on the predictions from the various models. For more complex models or composite models, the Bayesian methods easily adapt to include the uncertainty on the weights associated with each of the models that comprise the composite model. Industry data representing the time to recovery of loss of off‐site power at nuclear power plants are used within this paper to demonstrate these aspects of Bayesian analysis.SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSThe Bayesian based method presented in Section 3 for the calculation of posterior odds provides the analyst with a way of quantifying the adequacy of different probability models for a set of data, and thus replaces the subjectivity with an objective criterion. The methods presented in Sections 4 and 5 provide a basis for constructing uncertainty bounds for recovery/probability curves. These uncertainty bounds are useful in risk assessments. The bounds capture parametric uncertainties and uncertainties about relative frequencies of various initiators of events. The methods presented in Section 6 demonstrate how to modify a model to incorporate specific information about the site under study.
