Research Note: The Coverage of War: Do Women Matter? A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Broadsheets in Germany
Our social consciousness reserves the role of fighter solely for men. Women are not considered as being authoritative or decisive actors in the context of war and violence. During armed conflicts or other violent crises, female acting subjects seem to leave the public (i.e. media) stage – a place where they are underrepresented even under normal circumstances. Furthermore, media coverage of war, it is said, largely assigns the role of the victim to women. However, there is not much empirical evidence to support this view due to the significant lack of longitudinal quantitative studies on media coverage of women during wartime. In order to investigate this, a framing analysis of media coverage of war between 1989 and 2000 was conducted in Germany. This article reports on the results of this framing analysis and the representation of women during wartime in quality German newspapers. It is the first longitudinal gender-specific framing analysis of war coverage ever carried out in any country

Hubungan Antara Pola Makan dengan Penyakit Gastritis pada Siswa SMA Negeri 2 Tambun Selatan dan Tinjauannya Menurut Pandangan Islam
Pendahuluan: Penyakit gastritis merupakan peradangan atau proses inflamasi pada lapisan mukosa dan submukosa lambung yang sering terjadi akibat pola makan yang buruk. Pola makan yang tidak baik dapat menyebabkan sensitifitas akibat asam lambung yang meningkat. Pola makan tidak hanya dengan waktu makan, tetapi juga berkaitan dengan frekuensi makan, jenis makan, dan porsi makan. Menghindari asupan makanan yang dapat memicu kekambuhan dari gastritis serta menjaga kebersihan makanan menjadi langkah penting untuk mencegah penyakit gastritis. Menjaga makanan menjadi salah satu bagian dari maqashid syariah yaitu hifzh al-nafs (memelihara jiwa) untuk menghindari keburukan dan menolak madharat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara pola makan dengan penyakit gastritis serta tinjaunnya dalam Islam. Metodologi: Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian adalah 74 siswa-siswi SMA Negeri 2 Tambun Selatan yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi serta eksklusi diambil melalui metode random sampling. Selanjutnya dilakukan analisis statistik menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil: Terdapat 38 siswa (51.4%) mengalami gastritis dan 36 (48.6%) siswa tidak mengalami gastritis. Total sebanyak (51,4%) siswa memiliki frekuensi makan >3 kali sehari, (51,4%) siswa tidak mengkonsumsi jenis makanan yang memicu, serta (51,4%) siswa memiliki porsi makan<3-5 piring nasi/hari. Kejadian ini dalam pandangan Islam berkaitan dengan maqashid syariah hifzh al-nafs yaitu memelihara jiwa. Simpulan:Penelitian ini dapat menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pola makan dengan penyakit gastritis, oleh karena itu penting bagi siswa untuk menjaga makanan dan minuman yang dikonsumsi dengan didasari niat untuk beribadah sehingga menjadi sumber tenaga untuk melakukan aktifitas sehari-hari.
Introduction: Gastritis is an inflammation of the mucosal and submucosal layers of the stomach that often occurs due to poor diet. A poor diet can cause sensitivity due to increased stomach acid. Diet is not only about the timing of meals, but also the frequency of meals, types of meals, and portions of meals. Avoiding food intake that can trigger recurrence of gastritis and maintaining food hygiene are important steps to prevent gastritis. Maintaining food is one part of maqashid sharia, namely hifzh al-nafs (preserving the soul) to avoid badness and reject madharat. This study aims to determine the relationship between diet and gastritis disease and its review in Islam. Method: This study is a type of quantitative analytic research with a cross sectional approach. The research sample was 74 students of SMA Negeri 2 Tambun Selatan who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria taken through random sampling method. Furthermore, statistical analysis was carried out using the chi-square test. Result: There were 38 students (51.4%) with gastritis and 36 (48.6%) students without gastritis. A total of (51.4%) students have a frequency of eating >3 times a day, (51.4%) students do not consume trigger foods, and (51.4%) students have a portion of eating <3-5 plates of rice / day. This incident in the view of Islam is related to maqashid sharia hifzh al-nafs, namely maintaining the soul. Conclusion: This study can conclude that there is a significant relationship between diet and gastritis disease, therefore it is important for students to maintain the food and drinks consumed based on the intention to worship so that it becomes a source of energy to carry out daily activities

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Gastritis is a condition of inflammation or bleeding of the gastric mucosa that can be acute, chronic, diffuse or localized. The main causes of gastritis are Helicobacter pylori bacteria, viruses, or other parasites. One of the risk factors for gastritis is stress. Stress is a human physiological, psychological, and behavioral response that attempts to adapt and regulate internal and external pressures. In stressful situations such as anxiety, fear, and high workload when doing something will result in increased production of gastric acid and when high gastric acid will irritate the gastric mucosa. This study aims to determine the relationship between stress levels and gastritis and its review in Islam
Methodology: This study is a type of quantitative analytic research with a cross sectional approach. The research sample was students of SMA Negeri 2 Tambun Selatan and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. By using random sampling technique, 74 samples were obtained and then statistical analysis was carried out using the chi-square test
Results: A total of (28.4%) of students indicated that they did not experience stress, (41.9%) experienced mild stress, (18.9%) experienced moderate stress, and (10.8%) experienced severe stress levels and as many as (33.8%) experienced gastritis and as many as (66.2%) did not experience gastritis. The occurrence of this condition from the Islamic side is related to the importance of maintaining health which is fardu ain
Conclusion: From this study it was found that there is a significant relationship between stress levels and gastritis disease, therefore it is important for students to maintain a diet by choosing foods that are halalan thayyiban, dhikr, and trust in Allah SWT

Embodiment design of a grocery delivery robot: From cool transport to user-friendly hand-over
Last mile delivery is often seen as bottleneck for delivery service growth: it is the most costly and highest polluting segment of the delivery supply chain. By integrating delivery robots in society, last mile delivery can be automatize to create a more cost and time efficient and sustainable delivery service. This also applies to the grocery delivery service. However, no grocery delivery robot, that can operate on the sidewalk, is designed yet. How should such a grocery delivery robot look like? And how do we want the delivery robot to interact with the user? This thesis provides an embodiment design for a grocery delivery robot, with the focus on the human-robot interaction at the doorstep. A desired human-robot interaction can be achieved by creating functional, ergonomic, intuitive, functionally looking, trustworthy, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly design that will empower the customer to feel in control of the delivery process. To realize a functioning delivery robot, a prototype and design has been created according to a form follows function approach. A prototype of the embodiment design has been integrated with the Husky platform at the AMS Institute in Amsterdam to test and validate the human-robot interaction. The design enables, a cool, temperature-controlled delivery with user-friendly hand-over. The user-friendly hand-over is envisioned by an automatic vertical crate hand-over movement, which mimics the current almost effortless interaction of retrieving crates from a grocery delivery service. This hand-over will to not only make the experience of retrieving groceries more joyful and ergonomic, but it will also enable a better future integration with entire delivery process. Last mile delivery will only be more efficient, sustainable, and able to offer customers more control of the delivery process, if the delivery robots are integrated within the entire delivery process
The application of mechanism based and equivalent frame methods for the seismic assessment of URM terraced houses in Groningen
Since the 60’s the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) has been extracting gas from the province of Groningen in the Netherlands. This resulted into seismic activity. However, the buildings in Groningen are not designed to withstand any seismic loading. The assessment of the seismic behavior of the building stock of Groningen is required to verify whether a structure causes any life safety risk during an earthquake. In this thesis two main objectives are studied. Firstly, it is studied whether the simplified analysis approaches: Simplified Lateral Mechanism Analysis (SLaMA), as described in the NPR9998-2018, and the Equivalent Frame Method (EFM) as implemented into the software package 3Muri are able to describe the seismic behavior of an Unreinforced Masonry (URM) terraced house. Secondly, the influence of the geometry of the piers in a facade is assessed. Both the objectives are studied by means of two case studies. The first case study represents a typical but idealized URM structure of a terraced house from which the seismic capacity was determined in the TU Delft lab by cyclic pushover tests. The second case study concerns a specific two-storey URM terraced house located in Groningen. The case studies are characterized by large daylight openings, slender piers and a low lateral capacity into the x-direction.Civil Engineering | Building Engineerin
Empowering the Urban Females: Creating gender sensitive mass housing in Addis Ababa
With almost 110 million inhabitants, Ethiopia is the largest and most populouscountry in the Horn of Africa. In the current trend of global urbanization, Ethiopia’s cities are rapidly growing. A tripling of the urban population is to be expected in 2050, putting a big pressure on the housing stock and employment opportunities. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital is growing at 3.8% per year, as more and more people from smaller villages or rural areas search for a better life standard. Statistics show that among the relatively young migrants, 6 out of 10 is female, coming from different social and cultural backgrounds. Women in Ethiopia, and to a larger extent those living in rural areas, suffer from a lower social status in the patriarchal society. They struggle more to find appropriate housing and supporting networks. This thesis invests the opportunities to create gender sensitive housing to pave the way for these new urban women. Furthermore, it proposes an alternative to the current mass housing strategy.Addis Ababa Living LabArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Global Housin
Acquiring Chinese Venture Capital as a European High-tech Start-up: An exploratory research into the critical requirements and governmental and economic influences affecting the decision-making of Chinese Venture Capital firms investing in early-stage European High-tech Start-ups
In this research, a literature review is done to create a framework on all current known criteria other countries' VC firms set when selecting a Tech start-up. The framework also includes possible governmental and economic influences that could affect the decision-making of Chinese VC firms. Subsequently, nine in-depth interviews have been held with three different perspectives: Chinese VC firms, European start-ups, and Specialists with an external view on Chinese VC investments in Europe. By conducting interviews, it was possible to get in-depth information on Chinese investments in the past. With this, valuable information on essential criteria for Chinese VC firms when investing in Europe is obtained. After data gathering, transcripts were made, and data were grouped into themes using open coding. Finally, a within-case- and cross-case analysis have been executed to trace possible causal relationships regarding selection criteria of Chinese VC firms on one side and governmental and economic aspects on the other side. Based on the findings of this research, European start-ups can better assess the risks and understand the decision-making of Chinese VC firms investing in Europe. It appears that mainly governmental decisions from China and Europe influence the decision making of Chinese VC firms investing in Europe. Especially Chinese governmental capital requirements need to be considered before investments in European start-ups; however, VC firms try to circumvent the Chinese regulations as far as possible. The influence of the Chinese government comes forward in the fact that: 1. The investment needs to contribute to the Chinese economy 2. The European start-up should not compete with investments in start-ups funded by the Chinese government. In addition, European rules restrict Chinese investors from investing in sensitive technologies, making it increasingly challenging for Chinese investors to invest in specific European sectors. This happens mainly due to the negative coverage of US politics on China. Furthermore, this study has identified criteria Chinese VC firms particularly use when investing in European Tech start-ups. It was found that Chinese VC firms mainly focus on the following categories: 1. experience, personality, and capabilities of entrepreneur and team 2. characteristics of the market 3. characteristics of product 4. financial considerations. More specifically, based on the interviews, a list of 21 selection criteria is found that European start-ups could consider when attracting Chinese VC investments. To conclude, since every investment is unique, and the strategy of VC firms differs, it is good to consider all criteria found in this study, including the criteria found in previous literature of other countries' VC firms to get a better overview on the requirements Chinese VC firms set when investing in European High-Tech start-ups.Management of Technology (MoT
