Centrality of Religiosity Scale - Test of Model Configuration, Reliability, and Consistency in Romania, Georgia, and Russia

Ackert, Michael ; Schöbi, Dominik (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2021.

Measurement is fundamental in science. Social sciences generally and psychology, in particular, depend on objective, valid, and reliable psychometric scales. In the 20th century, the psychology of religion and spirituality spent a long time searching for comprehensive and trustworthy instruments to assess psychological constructs in the field of empirical studies of religion and spirituality....

Infrared study of the multiband low-energy excitations of the topological antiferromagnet MnBi2Te4

Xu, Bing ; Zhang, Y. ; Alizade, E. H. ; Jahangirli, Z. A. ; Lyzwa, Fryderyk ; Sheveleva, Evgeniia ; Marsik, Premysl ; Li, Y. K. ; Yao, Y. G. ; Wang, Z. W. ; Shen, B. ; Dai, Y. M. ; Kataev, V. ; Otrokov, M. M. ; Chulkov, E. V. ; Mamedov, N. T. ; Bernhard, Christian

With infrared spectroscopy, we studied the bulk electronic properties of the topological antiferromagnet MnBi2Te4 with TN ≃ 25 K. With the support of band-structure calculations, we assign the intra- and interband excitations and determine the band gap of Eg ≈ 0.17 eV. We also obtain evidence for two types of conduction bands with light and very heavy carriers. The multiband free-carrier...

Being a part of ongoing continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the Caucasus region is a remarkable site of moderate to strong seismicity, where devastating earthquakes caused significant losses of lives and livelihood. In this article, we survey geology and geodynamics of the Caucasus and its surroundings; magmatism and heat flow; active tectonics and tectonic stresses...

Eradication of a multidrug-resistant, carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate following oral and intra-rectal therapy with a custom made, lytic bacteriophage preparation

Corbellino, Mario ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Kutateladze, Mzia ; Balarjishvili, Nana ; Leshkasheli, Lika ; Askilashvili, Lia ; Tsertsvadze, George ; Rimoldi, Sara Giordana ; Nizharadze, Deia ; Hoyle, Naomi ; Nadareishvili, Lia ; Antinori, Spinello ; Pagani, Cristina ; Scorza, Daniele Giuseppe ; Romanò, Ai Ling Loredana ; Ardizzone, Sandro ; Danelli, Piergiorgio ; Gismondo, Maria Rita ; Galli, Massimo ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Poirel, Laurent

In: Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020, vol. 70, no. 9, p. 1998–2001

In July 2017, a patient presented colonization with a multidrug-resistant, carbapenemase (KPC-3)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate. A custom-made, lytic bacteriophage preparation was administered to the patient in December 2017, with subsequent eradication of the microorganism and without adverse effects.

The fossil record of the genus Varanus from the Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia)

Vasilyan, Davit ; Bukhsianidze, Maia

In: PeerJ, 2020, p. e8322

The Southern Caucasus, with its special geographic position and complex topography, is a well-known biodiversity hotspot. However, the formation of this hotspot remains largely unstudied. To reveal this, a thorough study of the fossil record of the region is necessary. In the present paper, we describe for the first time fossil monitor lizards (Varanus sp.) from two late Miocene localities from...

Quantitative imaging of water, ice and air in permafrost systems through petrophysical joint inversion of seismic refraction and electrical resistivity data

Wagner, Florian ; Mollaret, Coline ; Günther, Thomas ; Kemna, Andreas

In: Geophysical Journal International, 2019, vol. 219, no. 3, p. 1866–1875

Quantitative estimation of pore fractions filled with liquid water, ice and air is crucial for a process-based understanding of permafrost and its hazard potential upon climate- induced degradation. Geophysical methods offer opportunities to image distributions of permafrost constituents in a non-invasive manner. We present a method to jointly estimate the volumetric fractions of liquid water,...
