    Black Lives Matter – also in literature
    22.06.2020
    important in academia to raise awareness of discrimination. *Black and White are capitalized to indicate that they are not biological characteristics or actual skin colors, but political and social constructions. How is the "Black Lives Matter" movement reflected in literature? Julia Lajta-Novak: At the moment, there are BLM reading lists in many newspapers, from the "New York Times" to the "Guardian" to "Vogue", that show what great literature is out there; literature that ...

    COSINUS searches for dark matter
    18.04.2024
    How can we understand dark matter? It probably makes up around 85% of the mass in the universe. However, what it is and what it consists of remains one of the biggest and most difficult questions in modern physics. The research project COSINUS (Cryogenic Observatory for SIgnatures seen in Next-generation Underground Searches) is now being launched in Gran Sasso (Italy), which is expected to provide clarity on data that has been difficult to interpret up to now.

    COVID-19 reduces life expectancy, but does not take away years of life
    18.02.2021
    addition, corona probably also causes indirect deaths, for example if treatment for other diseases such as cancer is started later due to medical bottlenecks. Are the numbers for 2020 already fixed or are they still estimates? Luy: Complete data are not yet available for 2020. However, the estimates of life expectancy published by Statistics Austria are unlikely to change much. In the coming months, more detailed studies on the influence of corona will certainly appear – ...

    Can Biology Help us Defend Free Will? An Emerging Debate in Philosophy
    10.06.2025
    Humans – members of the biological species homo sapiens – are products of evolution. Therefore, if we have free will, it is plausible to assume that our free will is also a product of evolution. But do we actually have free will? Is it – at least sometimes – up to us what we what we decide to do? Strikingly, philosophers have long ignored biology when it comes to answering these questions. Instead, they have quibbled about whether and how free will might fit into a ...

    Can the causal order between events change in quantum mechanics?
    28.03.2018
    and Charly If one wants to change the causal structure, one would have to either disconnect and reconnect the wire (not continuous) or to replace the wire (not reversible). The researchers also studied more complex situations in which more parties are involved. For example, decisions by a third person, Charly, can under certain circumstances determine whether the causal order of future events is definite or indefinite. “Our results demonstrate that under physically ...

    Citizenship in Indonesia: forms and fragments
    18.10.2012
    which has deep roots in Indonesian politics, survived in a new context, giving way to forms of patronage democracy. Against the background of these developments I aim to investigate what forms citizenship takes. I will first look at various forms of cultural citizenship at the regional level in which cultural identities are emphasized. Rooted in the colonial past notions of communal identity have recently been reinforced within the context of decentralization and serve ...

    Cleopatra's sister remains missing

    was long speculated that it could be the remains of Arsinoë IV, the sister of the famous Cleopatra. However, the latest anthropological analyses show that the remains are those of a boy between the ages of 11 and 14 who suffered from pathological developmental disorders. His genes point to an origin in Italy or Sardinia. The results are currently being published in Scientific Reports. In 1929, the Austrian archaeologist Josef Keil and his colleagues discovered a sarcophagus ...

    Creativity in virtual laboratories
    02.04.2020
    you can't go to the laboratory? How can medieval manuscripts be examined if the archive is closed? And what archeological insights can be gained if distant excavation sites are inaccessible? Basic researchers are currently faced with several such critical questions. As virtual exchange with researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) shows, their answers are as creative as they are cooperative. "Research is open for business!" - Jochen Schieck is sure of that. ...
