Private Activities on Company Time (PACT) beschreibt ein Phänomen, wobei AngesteltInnen während der Arbeitszeit arbeitsirreleante Tätigkeiten vollbringen. Obwohl vieles was wir über PACT wissen aus der qualitativen Forschung kommt, existiert kein psychologisches Modell, dass die Vollrichtung dieser Tätigkeiten eklären könnte. Dazu wurde ein Modell entwickelt, mit dem man PACT anhand folgender Variablen erklären könnte: Arbeitsengagement, Arbeitszufriedenheit, Langeweile, Arbeitskontrolle, Prokrastination und Selbstregulation. Nach einem Vergleich zweier Konfigurationen anhand von 155 Individuen aus veschiedenen Unternehmen Österreichs, konnten die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich PACT über Arbeitsengagement als Mediatorvariable mit Langeweile, Arbeitszufriedenheit und Prokrastination erklären lässt. Weiterhin hatten keine persönlichen Eigenschaften einen Effekt auf PACT. Die Daten konnten auch zeigen, dass PACT eine Konstante bei der Arbeit darstellt, dessen Auswirkung sich auf die Leistung des Unternehmens nicht objektiv einschätzen lässt. Zukünftige Forschung könnte das Modell auf verschiedene Populationen anwenden und anhand weiterer arbeitsrelevanter Faktoren testen.

\nThe pressure of hot gas in groups and clusters of galaxies is a key physical quantity, which is directly linked to the total mass of the halo and several other thermodynamical properties. In the wake of previous observational works on the hot gas pressure distribution in massive halos, we have investigated a sample of 31 clusters detected in both the Planck and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), MBAC surveys. We made use of an optimised Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) map reconstructed from the two data sets and tailored for the detection of the SZ effect, taking advantage of both Planck coverage of large scales and the ACT higher spatial resolution. Our average pressure profile covers a radial range going from 0.04 × R500 in the central parts to 2.5 × R500 in the outskirts. In this way, it improves upon previous pressure-profile reconstruction based on SZ measurements. It is compatible, as well as competitive, with constraints derived from joint X-ray and SZ analysis. This work demonstrates the possibilities offered by large sky surveys of the SZ effect with multiple experiments with different spatial resolutions and spectral coverages, such as ACT and Planck.\n

\nWe present the optimal reconstruction of the thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect signal based on the combination of a heterogeneous dataset consisting of Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and Planck data, with different numbers of channels, angular resolutions, and noise levels. We combine both datasets using two different approaches, a matched multifilter (MMF) technique and an optimized internal linear combination (ILC). We show that when applying the MMF to the combination of ACT and Planck data, the size-flux degeneracy is reduced and the signal-to-noise of clusters detected with their Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) signal improves by up to a factor of three. In the case of the optimized ILC method, we show that the tSZ map is reconstructed with a resolution of ∼1.5 arcmin. This is more than a factor two improvement compared with the Planck resolution, and with a very good control of noise, meaning that it is limited only by the intrinsic noise of the individual experiments. The combination of ACT and Planck data offers a unique opportunity to improve on the study of the pressure profiles and to study substructure in clusters through their tSZ.\n

Millions of individuals have goals but struggle to achieve them. Research shows that writing down goals, sharing them with friends, and receiving feedback can increase the likelihood that these goals are achieved. However, there is limited research on technologies that support groups of friends working together toward goals. We are designing Pact, a social application in which groups of friends can collaborate toward goal achievement. We have made novel design decisions involving persuasion and motivation due to our focus on previously established strong social ties. Pact allows individuals to set personally achievable goals, yet encourages both collaboration and competition by allowing friends to compare measurable progress and hold each other accountable.

The food and drug industry is facing the need to monitor the quality and safety of their products. This has made them turn to low-cost solutions that can enable smart sensing and tracking without adding much overhead. One such popular low-power solution is backscatter-based sensing and communication system. While it offers the promise of battery-less tags, it does so at the cost of a reduced communication range. In this work, we propose PACT - a scalable communication system that leverages the knowledge asymmetry in the network to improve the communication range of the tags. Borrowing from the backscatter principles, we design custom PACT Tags that are battery-less but use an active radio to extend the communication range beyond standard passive tags. They operate using the energy harvested from the PACT Source. A wide-band Reader is used to receive multiple Tag responses concurrently and upload them to a cloud server, enabling real-time monitoring and tracking at a longer range. We identify and address the challenges in the practical design of battery-less PACT Tags using an active radio and prototype them using off-the-shelf components. We show experimentally that our Tag consumes only 23μJ energy, which is harvested from an excitation Source that is up to 24 meters away from the Tag. We show that in outdoor deployments, the responses from an estimated 520 Tags can be received by a Reader concurrently while being 400 meters away from the Tags.

The text in this article is an account by Chiara Lubich of the experience that initiated a period of intense mystical illumination called Paradise ’49. It is part of a document not yet fully published written by Chiara about this period that extended from 1949 to 1951. In this segment of the document (nos. 19–42), Chiara tells of the arrival of Igino Giordani in the mountains near Trent and how his request to her led them to make a pact of unity together at communion during the Eucharist on the following day. This event brought Chiara into a new relationship with God, entering the Trinitarian life, which she shared first with Igino Giordani and then also with her other companions. It was the birth of a new relationship of unity among them where each one was that unity and each one was distinct, the birth of what Chiara named the “Soul.” The final section (nos. 38–42) is the beginning of the description of the very first moments of what happened as together they felt they were entering the life of the Trinity.
