Insgesamt berichtet eine überwiegende Mehrheit der Jugendlichen ein mittleres bis hohes Wohlbefinden und schätzt die eigene Gesundheit als „ausgezeichnet“ ein. Die luxemburgischen Jugendlichen bewegen sich damit im internationalen Vergleich im oberen Mittelfeld. Das hohe Maß an Wohlbefinden in der jungen Bevölkerung ist über die letzten Jahre weitgehend stabil geblieben, während sich das subjektive Gesundheitsempfinden sogar positiv verändert hat. Treiber dieser Entwicklung sind insbesondere die positiven Veränderungen bei Mädchen und jungen Frauen. Obwohl grundsätzlich alle Bevölkerungsgruppen auch von geringem Wohlbefinden oder vermehrten gesundheitlichen Problemen betroffen sein können, zeigt sich hinsichtlich der Verteilung eine deutliche soziale Schieflage: Sozioökonomisch benachteiligte Jugendliche sind deutlich häufiger von gesundheitlichen Problemen betroffen und weisen insgesamt auch ein niedrigeres Wohlbefinden auf als Jugendliche mit höherem Sozialstatus. Während die Experten gesamtgesellschaftliche Hintergründe für die Entwicklung von Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden mitverantwortlich machen, sind viele Jugendliche der Ansicht, dass sie ihre Gesundheit und ihr subjektives Wohlbefinden weitgehend selbst aktiv beeinflussen können. Zudem werden starke soziale Beziehungen zu Eltern, Familie und Freunden als positive Faktoren genannt. Für wenige Jugendliche können solche Beziehungen jedoch auch negative Auswirkungen auf das Wohlbefinden haben. Ein Mangel an Handlungsmöglichkeiten, etwa aufgrund fehlender finanzieller Ressourcen oder familiärer Unterstützung, kann es zudem erschweren, Verwirklichungschancen zu ergreifen und Wohlbefinden positiv zu gestalten. Auch hinsichtlich der Folgen der Covid-19-Pandemie werden Unterschiede nach sozioökonomischen und soziodemografischen Faktoren deutlich. Jugendliche mit niedrigem sozioökonomischem Status haben in der Tendenz eher negative Folgen zu gewärtigen, während Jugendliche mit gutem Zugang zu verschiedenen Ressourcenpools besser mit den Einschränkungen zurechtzukommen scheinen und sogar von positiven Effekten berichten. In den luxemburgischen Fachdiskursen sind Wohlbefinden und insbesondere die psychische Gesundheit zentrale Themen. Zunehmend dominieren Konzepte, die den Jugendlichen als Akteur in den Mittelpunkt stellen und eine bedürfnisorientierte und befähigende Herangehensweise verfolgen. Damit spiegeln sie die von vielen Jugendlichen berichtete Einschätzung, das eigene Leben handlungsmächtig planen und gestalten zu wollen. [less ▲]

Fault seeding is typically used in empirical studies to evaluate and compare test techniques. Central to these techniques lies the hypothesis that artificially seeded faults involve some form of realistic properties and thus provide realistic experimental results. In an attempt to strengthen realism, a recent line of re- search uses machine learning techniques, such as deep learning and Natural Language Processing, to seed faults that look like (syntactically) real ones, implying that fault realism is related to syntactic similarity. This raises the question of whether seeding syntactically similar faults indeed results in semantically similar faults and, more generally, whether syntactically dissimilar faults are far away (semantically) from the real ones. We answer this question by employing 4 state-of-the-art fault-seeding techniques (PiTest - a popular mutation testing tool, IBIR - a tool with manually crafted fault patterns, DeepMutation - a learning-based fault seeded framework and μBERT - a mutation testing tool based on the pre-trained language model CodeBERT) that operate in a fundamentally different way, and demonstrate that syntactic similarity does not reflect semantic similarity. We also show that 65.11%, 76.44%, 61.39% and 9.76% of the real faults of Defects4J V2 are semantically resembled by PiTest, IBIR, μBERT and Deep- Mutation faults, respectively. [less ▲]

Software verification of evolving systems is challenging mainstream methodologies and tools. Formal verification techniques often conflict with the time constraints imposed by change management practices for evolving systems. Since changes in these systems are often local to restricted parts, an incremental verification approach could be beneficial. This paper introduces SiDECAR, a general framework for the definition of verification procedures, which are made incremental by the framework itself. Verification procedures are driven by the syntactic structure (defined by a grammar) of the system and encoded as semantic attributes associated with the grammar. Incrementality is achieved by coupling the evaluation of semantic attributes with an incremental parsing technique. We show the application of SiDECAR to the definition of two verification procedures: probabilistic verification of reliability requirements and verification of safety properties. [less ▲]

Modern software systems are continuously evolving, often because systems requirements change over time. Responding to requirements changes is one of the principles of agile methodologies. In this paper we envision the seamless integration of automated verification techniques within agile methodologies, thanks to the support for incrementality. Incremental verification accommodates the changes that occur within the schedule of frequent releases of software agile processes. We propose a general approach to developing families of verifiers that can support incremental verification for different kinds of artifacts and properties. The proposed syntactic-semantic approach is rooted in operator precedence grammars and their support for incremental parsing. Incremental verification procedures are encoded as attribute grammars, whose incremental evaluation goes hand in hand with incremental parsing. [less ▲]

2'-Substituted analogs of triclosan have been synthesized to target inhibition of the key malarial enzyme Plasmodium falciparum enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR). Many of these compounds exhibit good potency (EC50<500 nM) against in vitro cultures of drug-resistant and drug-sensitive strains of the P. falciparum parasite and modest (IC50=1-20 microM) potency against purified PfENR enzyme. Compared to triclosan, this survey of 2'-substituted derivatives has afforded gains in excess of 20- and 30-fold versus the 3D7 and Dd2 strains of parasite, respectively. [less ▲]

An electrodeposition-annealing route to films of the promising p-type absorber material Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) using layered metal precursors is studied. The dependence of device performance on composition is investigated, and it is shown that a considerable Cu-deficiency is desirable to produce effective material, as measured by photoelectrochemical measurements employing the Eu3+/2+ redox couple. The differing effects of using elemental sulphur and H2S as sulphur sources during annealing are also studied, and it is demonstrated that H2S annealing results in films with improved crystallinity.

In the present study, the rotation of magnetic nanorods in a soft hydrogel matrix induced by a homogeneous magnetic field is investigated. Magnetic nanorods of ≈151.2 nm length and ≈17.7 nm diameter are synthesized via current-pulsed electrodeposition of nickel into porous aluminum oxide-templates. The nanorods are processed towards a stable colloidal dispersion by dissolution of the alumina template in aqueous NaOH to which PVP (polyvinyl-pyrrolidone) is added as surfactant. These suspensions are used to prepare gelatine-based ferrogels of different shear modulus with either isotropic or uniaxial orientation-distribution of the nanorods. While magnetization measurements of rigid ferrogels mainly reflect the magnetic properties of the nickel nanorods, the magnetization behavior of soft ferrogels is significantly influenced by a field-induced rotation of the nickel nanorods in the low compliant matrix. A particular analysis of magnetization measurements on uniaxial ferrogels enables to quantify the rotation angle of the nanorods with respect to their initial orientation under the influence of a transversal homogeneous magnetic field. The analysis of the field-dependent rotation also allows to estimate the local shear modulus of the matrix which is demonstrated by an investigation of room temperature ageing process of the ferrogel.

We report on the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of cobalt nanoparticles with cubic shape. The nanoparticles with an average cube-edge length of about 50 nm were prepared by wet-chemical processing and characterized by electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and magnetometry. The x-ray data indicate a mixture of hcp Co and ϵ-Co. From the magnetization measurements we deduce on the presence of a ferromagnet/antiferromagnet Co/CoO interface, which gives rise to a pronounced exchange-bias effect. Between 350 K and 5 K the coercivity HC increases by almost a factor of 6, whereas the exchange-bias field HE takes on a value of about 380 Oe at 5 K and vanishes above 75 K. The variation of HC with temperature cannot be understood in terms of the various conventional types of magnetic anisotropy. [less ▲]

Compared to conventional ferrofluids, which contain mostly spherical particles, a dispersion of highly anisometric particles such as rods or chains is expected to give rise to an enhancement or modification of well-known ferrofluid properties. This contribution reports on the synthesis of a ferrofluid containing stable chains of iron nanoparticles and on its microstructural characterisation by means of transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The SAXS measurements develop a pronounced anisotropy of the scattering pattern as a function of an increasing external magnetic field. Evaluation of the radially averaged SAXS curves in terms of basic scattering functions is discussed. [less ▲]

Abstract: The aim of this study was the preparation of novel polyester nanoparticles based on folic acid (FA)–functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(propylene succinate) (PEG–PPSu) copolymer and loaded with the new anticancer drug ixabepilone (IXA). These nanoparticles may serve as a more selective (targeted) treatment of breast cancer tumors overexpressing the folate receptor. The synthesized materials were characterized by 1H-NMR, FTIR, XRD and DSC. The nanoparticles were prepared by a double emulsification and solvent evaporation method and characterized with regard to their morphology by scanning electron microscopy, drug loading with HPLC–UV and size by dynamic light scattering. An average size of 195 nm and satisfactory drug loading efficiency (3.5 %) were observed. XRD data indicated that IXA was incorporated into nanoparticles in amorphous form. The nanoparticles exhibited sustained drug release properties in vitro. Based on in vitro cytotoxicity studies, the blank FA–PEG–PPSu nanoparticles were found to be non-toxic to the cells. Fluorescent nanoparticles were prepared by conjugating Rhodanine B to PEG–PPSu, and live cell, fluorescence, confocal microscopy was applied in order to demonstrate the ability of FA–PEG–PPSu nanoparticles to enter into human breast cancer cells expressing the folate receptor.
