Kasper Zeuthen is the Senior Media Advisor for the European Union Delegation to the United States
His position gives him the opportunity to meet prominent leaders and diplomats across the globe
but he still made time to visit with current Washington Semester Program students who are in the same program he was in over 20 years prior
"When I was a Washington Semester student myself
it always amazed me to see how many people would take time out of their busy schedules to talk to us
and I still rely on tips and advice given to me all those years ago," said Zeuthen
I'm always ready to talk to new generations of Washington Semester students."

The Copenhagen-based pedagogy teacher explains how she gets her students to realise that teaching can change the world
All string players on the bachelor’s degree course at the Royal Danish Academy of Music have my one-semester course in string pedagogy
They are around 20 years old: very talented and focused
At this point they have realised that they need to be excellent instrumentalists and they practise a lot
They are focused on themselves but I try to make them see how fantastic teaching is
not necessarily at this point in their lives but at some time in the future
I felt this was my chance to design a course to help them understand that teaching is a blend of performing
of getting to know oneself better and of being able to communicate
I hate the fact that we’re put into the boxes of being a performer or orchestral player or soloist
because musicians have to be able to do everything
There will always be a few in the group who are born teachers
and in the way they interact with the children who come in to play

Fluid overload in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with higher mortality. There are few randomized controlled trials to guide physicians in treating patients with fluid overload in the ICU, and no guidelines exist. We aimed to elucidate how ICU physicians from Nordic countries define, assess, and treat fluid overload in the ICU.
We developed an online questionnaire with 18 questions. The questions were pre-tested and revised by specialists in intensive care medicine. Through a network of national coordinators. The survey was distributed to a wide range of Nordic ICU physicians. The distribution started on January 5th, 2022 and ended on May 6th, 2022.
Self-reported practices among Nordic ICU physicians when assessing, diagnosing, and treating fluid overload reveals variability in the practice. A 5% increase in body weight was considered a minimum to support the diagnosis of fluid overload. Clinical examination findings were preferred for assessing, diagnosing and treating fluid overload, and diuretics were the preferred treatment modality.

Introduction: Fluid overload in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with higher mortality
There are few randomized controlled trials to guide physicians in treating patients with fluid overload in the ICU
We aimed to elucidate how ICU physicians from Nordic countries define
Materials and methods: We developed an online questionnaire with 18 questions
The questions were pre-tested and revised by specialists in intensive care medicine
Through a network of national coordinators
The survey was distributed to a wide range of Nordic ICU physicians
Results: We received a total of 1,066 responses from Denmark
respondents applied clinical parameters such as clinical examination findings
and urine output more frequently than cardiac/lung ultrasound
A large proportion of the respondents agreed that a 5% increase or more in body weight from baseline supported the diagnosis of fluid overload
The preferred de-resuscitation strategy was diuretics (91%)
followed by minimization of maintenance (76%) and resuscitation fluids (71%)
The majority declared that despite mild hypotension
they would not withhold treatment of fluid overload and would continue diuretics
The respondents were divided when it came to treating fluid overload with loop diuretics in patients receiving noradrenaline
Around 1% would not administer noradrenaline and diuretics simultaneously and 35% did not have a fixed upper limit for the dosage
The remaining respondents 63% reported different upper limits of noradrenaline infusion (0.05–0.50 mcg/kg/min) when administering loop diuretics
Conclusion: Self-reported practices among Nordic ICU physicians when assessing
and treating fluid overload reveals variability in the practice
A 5% increase in body weight was considered a minimum to support the diagnosis of fluid overload
Clinical examination findings were preferred for assessing
and diuretics were the preferred treatment modality
We aimed to ascertain how Nordic ICU physicians define
The Danish National committee on health research ethics (H-21064485) approved the study and the study was reported to The Capital Region Knowledge Centre for Data Compliance
The final questionnaire contained 18 questions (Supplementary material 2). It contained multiple choice and Likert scale questions. Questions were demographical, attitudinal, and practice based. Participation was voluntary, and anonymous, and no personal data was collected. The survey data were collected and managed using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) a secure, web-based software platform designed to support data capture for research studies (19)
The study population consisted of Nordic ICU physicians from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. We used purposive sampling by distributing through five national investigators, who invited local ICUs to distribute the survey link to their physicians through email invites. To manage the response rate the investigators filled out a distribution form for every department (Supplementary material 3)
Reminder emails were sent either one or two times
Broadly speaking how much do you agree with the following statements about the issue of fluid overload (positive fluid balance with edema) in ICU patients
When assessing fluid status, physicians preferred clinical parameters. The physicians often or very often used clinical examinations such as the daily and cumulative fluid balance (96%, 779/809), edema (96%, 777/809), urinary output (89%, 710/794), body weight (88%, 716/809), and the patient’s oxygen requirements (57%, 464/809). Physicians used other modalities such as ultrasound and radiological appearances more sparsely (Figure 3)
I use the following when assessing the fluid status of a critically ill patient: FB
*Results from invasive cardiac monitoring and measures of fluid responsiveness from these devices
I agree that the following features support the diagnosis of fluid overload in a critically ill patient
number of respondents to the question.*Presence of potential complications of fluid overload
difficulty weaning from invasive ventilation
How much do you agree to each of the following indications for commencing de-resuscitation in the critically ill patient without shock
number of respondents to the question; AKI
The ICU physicians preferred fluid removal targeted to daily net fluid balance (92%, 682/740 would use these modalities often/very often) followed by clinical examination findings (67%, 496/739) and baseline body weight (56%, 411/740). Other modalities such as ultrasound findings or physiological parameters to target fluid removal were rarely used (Figure 6)
How often do you use the following approaches in the management of fluid overload in your daily practice
*Fluid removal titrated to physiological parameters (cardiac output measurements
How often do you use the following strategies to avoid or deal with fluid overload in the critically ill
Of the occasions on which you administer loop diuretics to achieve a negative fluid balance
how often do you use the following agents (either as adjuncts or alternatives)
A majority agreed/strongly agreed that they would review their fluid removal plan in all the listed clinical situations in Figure 9
Do you agree that the following situations would trigger a review of the planned rate of fluid removal in a critically ill patient
Answer the following questions while you assume you are attending a stable critically ill patient with fluid overload
who is treated with loop diuretics to achieve a negative fluid balance
Choose the option that best describe your likely response
(A) Mild hypotension (MAP 55–65 mmHg) (N = 718)
(B) mild hypernatremia (145–150 mmol/L) (N = 718)
(C) severe hypernatremia (>150 mmol/L) (N = 713)
(D) max dose of noradrenaline that is acceptable while continuing using diuretics for fluid removal (N = 677)
renal replacement therapy; *Monitor closely
and lung ultrasound were used to a certain extent by the Nordic physicians when assessing fluid status
The survey from NZ/A/UK demonstrated different preferences concerning these modalities
Nordic physicians used ultrasound more frequently
especially lung ultrasound (27% of Nordic physicians vs
8% of physicians from NZ/A/UK used it often/very often)
UK/A/NZ physicians used radiological findings more frequently (69% of NZ/A/UK physicians vs
Multiple retrospective studies have shown that an increase above both 5 and 10% weight-based cumulative fluid balance is significantly correlated with increased mortality in AKI (27) and surgical patients (7). These findings were most predominant in the groups with fluid overload above 10% (7), but a systematic review found that the risk of mortality increased by 19% per liter increase in positive fluid balance (8)
Many Nordic physicians diagnose fluid overload as an increase above 10% in body weight and a large part of the physicians would also diagnose fluid overload as an increase above 5%
This underlines how Nordic physicians are aware of the possible risks associated with fluid accumulation
Australia and the UK 76% of the respondents found a 10% increase in body weight supported the diagnosis of fluid overload
Given that the respondents understood the question as it was intended
would demonstrate how Nordic physicians are aware of current recommendations from KDIGO
If the question was understood as AKI without fluid overload the physicians would surprisingly disagree with the current recommendations
Most studies in the field of fluid therapy focus on resuscitation fluids but also maintenance fluids and fluid creep (fluid volume administered unintentionally from enteral, oral, and intravenous medication) are substantial sources of fluid accumulation (29). In one study, maintenance fluids and fluid creep were responsible for 25% and 33% of all administered fluids, respectively while resuscitation fluids were only responsible for 7% (29)
This has not been tested in a prospective randomized trial to our knowledge
The questions in our survey have previously been applied and pretested for validity and have been conducted on similar study populations
and remodified the survey before distribution
Another strength is the number of respondents we received
The size of the participant population indicates a proportionate representation of the ICU physicians in Nordic countries and of their general views
The response rate in the current study was 28%
The distribution of the survey varied in the participating countries which is visible when comparing the percentage of physicians from each Nordic country
Our sampling strategy was relatively broad which could have resulted in distribution to physicians who might not work in the ICU and therefore were less likely to open the survey link
There can also be physicians who are employed in more than one ICU and potentially have received the survey invitation more than once
This demonstrates that the response rate might be skewed and would be more precise if the distribution had been more selective

The quest goes on to try to pin down the detailed inner structure of the proton. The problem is that, the harder physicists look, the more structure they find.
In the late 1960s, when experimentalists using electron beams at SLAC, Stanford, discovered that the proton contained tiny scattering centres, a new type of physics opened up: deep inelastic scattering (DIS). Ever since, physicists have tried to peer deeper and deeper into the depths of the proton. The work of the HERA electronproton collider at DESY, Hamburg, was to probe this inner proton structure in more detail than had ever been done before.
This is one of the great success stories of HERA. However, to capitalize on this new window on the proton also calls for intense study and coordinated effort. After the advent of HERA, about seven years ago, a series of specialized workshops began.
Scattering involving the constituent “partons” hidden inside the proton is the natural scenario for quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is the field theory of the constituent quarks and gluons. DIS99 (the seventh DIS conference) was hosted by DESY Zeuthen, south of Berlin, earlier this year.
New results from the HERA collider experiments were summarized by Bernd Löhr (DESY) for ZEUS and by Tancredi Carli (Munich) for H1. Cecilia Gerber (Fermilab) reported on the Tevatron experiments and Roland Windmolders (Mons) reviewed spin physics results. Recent developments in QCD were summarized by Willy van Neerven (Leiden). Two days of parallel sessions focused on structure functions, diffraction, final states and spin physics.
The working group on structure functions was conducted by Ursula Bassler (Paris), Eric Laenen (NIKHEF), Arnulf Quadt (CERN) and Heidi Schellman (Northwestern).
HERA probes low x, which is the momentum fraction carried by the struck quark, down to about 10-6. New precision is accompanied by impressive theoretical work on the gluon dynamics in this domain and on the transition between the deep inelastic and the photoproduction regimes.
Standard perturbative QCD field theory has no apparent difficulties in accounting for the behaviour of the proton structure down to surprisingly low values of x and of momentum transfers (Q2). Efforts are under way to extend QCD calculations, covering the “next to next to leading order”. This is a challenging task, which will substantially reduce the theoretical uncertainties.
The emerging role of HERA as a machine for precision tests of QCD is comparable to that of CERN’s LEP electronpositron collider for testing the electroweak theory. With increasing HERA collision rates, the data at large Q2 approach the region where proton structure is probed by the W and Z weak bosons and the gluon and quark distributions become measurable even at large x, where uncertainties are currently still sizable.
The puzzling excess of high Q2 events at large x, which were first observed by H1 and ZEUS in 1997, was reported to be reduced after more data had been accumulated. The many new results from various sectors led Heidi Schellman to conclude that the “rest of the world keeps up with DESY”.
The working group on diffractive interactions was organized by Mike Albrow (Fermilab), Riccardo Brugnera (Padova), Markus Diehl (DESY) and Douglas Jansen (Heidelberg). One early observation at HERA was that about 10% of electronproton events have little to show in the forward, proton direction. The electron interacts with something accompanying the proton rather than the proton itself. This stimulated the revival of interest in “diffractive” scattering.
Dijet production also reflects the quarkgluon structure of the photon, and LEP and HERA data were presented on the gluon content of the photon. Some photon distribution parametrizations require revision owing to new measurements of the virtual photon structure. Isolated leptons with high transverse energy, observed by H1, so far have no conclusive interpretation. Theoretical and simulation work focused on the low x region and the description of gluon emission.
The parallel session on spin physics was organized by Michael Düren (Erlangen) and Werner Vogelsang (Stony Brook). Among new experimental results was the first indication of a positive gluon polarization, obtained from unlike charged pairs of hadrons produced at large momentum transfer, and the unexpected observation of a spin asymmetry in rho-meson production by the new HERMES experiment at HERA.
The proceedings of DIS99 are dedicated to the memory of DESY director Bjoern Wiik, who died in February. His outstanding personality and scientific achievements were recalled by Aharon Levy (Tel Aviv), chairman of the workshop’s international advisory committee, and Brandenburg minister of culture and research Steffen Reiche, who underlined the importance of realizing Bjoern Wiik’s vision, which led to the creation of HERA and has shaped, so decisively, the plans for TESLA.

Thematic funds focus on a specific theme or niche area, such as Blockchain or AI. A recent addition to Mellon's thematic universe is a mobility innovation fund, led by Robert Zeuthen
a portfolio manager with 30 years of industry experience.
"Mobility innovation really represents a convergence of several different sectors
"And we look for companies within these key verticals that can deliver innovation that helps people and assets move more efficiently through an increasingly digital society."
Since launching in 2018, the fund is already crushing its Morningstar category sector and benchmark
returning 41.40% to investors this year while the category sector
A dynamic and rich opportunity set to invest in
He sees mobility trends and opportunities as strong and improving
which will continue to drive outperformance
An active management style in such a fast-moving space is an advantage
The team can capitalize on the volatility of a disruptive market by being able to quickly make changes when company fundamentals change or when private companies make gains in the market.
Thematic ETFs and passive investment products face more challenges
because they often deal with a narrow investment criteria
Through Mellon's "world class analyst" team
Zeuthen finds innovative investment opportunities
He does not focus on the industry or geography
He maps companies in their investment universe and portfolio to the industry acronym
C.A.S.E is a framework that helps Zeuthen prioritise the best growth opportunities for investment
investment in innovation can come at a cost and Zeuthen takes an approach that would make Warren Buffett squirm
and more about growth potential," Zeuthen said
the team is looking for innovation and growth potential over valuation
To consider an investment for the portfolio
"With the idea that the more levered a company is to the theme over time
the better its growth potential will be because it will capture the intrinsic tailwinds that are resident in the mobility industry," Zeuthen said
Zeuthen highlighted some of the big innovation trends he sees going forward:
which fits the C component of the C.A.S.E analysis
Zeuthen is expecting 5G demand to continue to accelerate with a wide variety of opportunities to capitalize on
"The mobility industry will deploy new 5G services that will provide enhanced location
messaging and collaboration capabilities," Zeuthen said
these new services will enable consumers and goods to travel more efficiently and safely through the global economy."
One of the most surprising stocks within the fund's holdings is Slack
and it's not necessarily easy to see the link between movement and communication tools
Zeuthen highlights that many transportation companies will leverage new types of communication services and data analytics to provide services
"We've discovered that many automotive companies
are increasingly using what are called Slack channels to be able to connect to advance their R&D programmes
and also increasingly to work with their suppliers and manage their supply chains," Zeuthen said
"Given the difficulty that COVID has created
Slack is a very good example of the company that is helping drive mobility innovation digitally."
The trend Zeuthen is most bullish on is electric vehicles
Electric vehicles were in the low-single-digits penetration in terms of new car sales last year
He believes this will significantly accelerate
"If we continue to see tightening regulatory pressures around carbon emissions
and if we continue to see further government stimulus to support the construction of supercharging networks
then we anticipate that electric vehicle penetration can surprise to the upside," Zeuthen said
Zeuthen expects penetration to be between 20% to 30% over the next decade with rapid growth for an extended period of time

As technology development and environmental concerns change how people travel and commute
the mobility innovation theme is gaining greater attention among investors
governments and consumers by materially altering interactions
the growth of mobility innovation has been driven by the growth and rapid adoption in relation to electric vehicles (EVs) globally
as well as the need for infrastructure to support it
there are other opportunities that stem from the EV trend
“While electric vehicles are clearly spearheading green energy transition
there are opportunities up and down the value-chain as well as next-horizon investing opportunities that could expand the grid of cleaner energy sources
such as drones and eVTOL aircraft,” said Robert Zeuthen
fund manager of BNY Mellon Mobility Innovation Fund
the asset manager believes electrification
“Companies in this group are seeing solid fundamentals as the world invests in electric powertrains and grid infrastructure to promote more reliable and sustainable mobility,” said Zeuthen
He noted that these companies offer attractive growth and valuations relative to the other sub-themes
and the growth in the industry has started to materialise with manufacturers launching plans for future models to be introduced over the next few years
The thrift of the industry is also boosted by government efforts to cut emissions
energy security goals and cost of ownership
“For automobile original equipment manufacturer to meet mandatory emissions requirements in countries such as China and Europe
electric vehicles will be a necessary part of their overall fleet,” he said
are taking a more proactive approach and factoring in sustainability when making their next vehicle purchase.”
The BNY Mellon Mobility Innovation Fund is exposed to companies located worldwide that are focused on the mobility innovation theme
About 60% of the fund’s assets are invested in companies in the US
The fund’s largest exposure is to the semiconductor industry
with 18.7% of its AUM invested in the sector
followed by electrical equipment with 17.8%
“We are cognizant that semiconductor stocks are poised to see negative estimate revisions in coming quarters and sales growth may decline next year broadly for the industry
Industry lead times are beginning to contract in select categories and a loosening of supply may actually provide some relief for our equipment holdings where growth has been constrained,” said Zeuthen
When compared with the MSCI AC World Index Mid Cap average
the fund posted a 48.74% cumulative return over three years
the FE fundinfo sector reported a 23.96% return
The fund is quite volatile over a three-year period
with volatility of 25.73% compared with the sector average of 18.19%
BNY Mellon Mobility Innovation Fund vs index average vs sector average
BNY Mellon expects to see strong growth in the mobility innovation theme over the next decade even as global growth slows
given that governments around the world are pushing for more sustainable approaches to meet climate goals
the asset manager said it is looking for opportunities to establish new positions in power management and motion control

The rapid advancement of industrial automation and breakthroughs in fibre laser technology are not only transforming sectors like manufacturing
and electronics but are also accelerating the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) as a key production method
AM is revolutionising industrial production
enabling the creation of high-performance components with intricate geometries
the widespread adoption of laser-based AM is hindered by challenges in quality assurance
and certification processes – critical concerns in industries where precision and reliability are non-negotiable
integrated framework to address these challenges and enhance production efficiency and certification workflows
Central to this innovation are two cutting-edge software tools:
By embedding these tools into the AM ecosystem
DILAPRO enhances manufacturing consistency
thus accelerating the adoption of laser-based AM across highly regulated sectors
Beyond technological advancements, tight collaboration with end users in the industry is required to create real value. This is achieved through the DILAPRO Laser community, which features workshops and newsletters to create a dynamic hub for innovation
collaboration and advancement in laser-based manufacturing technologies
The DILAFACT platform represents a groundbreaking step in digital laser manufacturing
offering a comprehensive simulation environment that can model laser-material interactions at both material and microstructural levels
By integrating precise modelling of additive
DILAFACT allows manufacturers to make informed
This enables the optimisation of key parameters such as material properties
significantly enhancing production efficiency
A core advantage of DILAFACT is its contribution to sustainable manufacturing
the platform reduces raw material waste by up to 64% and lowers energy consumption by 27%
These improvements align with global sustainability goals while ensuring the quality and reliability of laser-based manufacturing
DILACERT: Digitalising certification for laser-based additive manufacturing Ensuring compliance in AM is traditionally a resource-intensive and time-consuming process
DILACERT revolutionises this by introducing a semi-automated approach to certification
Using digital twins and real-time data monitoring
DILACERT automates key aspects of quality verification
significantly reducing manual documentation efforts while accelerating certification cycles
This lowers production costs and enhances manufacturers’ ability to meet stringent industry standards more efficiently
A key innovation of DILACERT is its alignment with the International Additive Manufacturing Qualification System (IAMQS)
which offers a structured framework for certifying both AM parts and the personnel involved in their production
Integrating with DILAFACT enables DILACERT to utilise in-process monitoring data to validate part quality early in the production cycle
This proactive approach minimises the risk of defects
ensuring that only fully compliant components proceed to final certification
As industries shift towards sustainable and efficient production
automation solutions are becoming essential for optimising manufacturing and distribution
DILAPRO addresses this demand by advancing multi-purpose laser processing and digitalisation strategies
ensuring that Europe remains competitive in the global market
DILAPRO integrates three core laser technologies – Laser Powder Bed Fusion
and Laser Texturing – to enable high-precision manufacturing
This multi-processing approach enhances flexibility in customised production while reducing lead times by up to 50%
By utilising Digital Twins and AI-driven process optimisation
contributing to sustainability goals with up to 90% reduction in scrap rates through defect-free manufacturing
and enhanced predictive modelling for first-time-right production
DILAPRO aims to modernise certification processes
and drive digital transformation in European manufacturing
the DILAPRO project facilitates real-time process monitoring and automated certification
This approach ensures compliance with international standards and promotes a more sustainable and efficient production environment
This is critical in driving the evolution of AM toward a future characterised by digitally enabled
DILAPRO’s work will play a pivotal role in shaping the certification and regulatory practices necessary to ensure the production of safe
and high-quality AM products across various industries

Countering violent extremism (CVE) and risk reduction (RR) provide two increasingly prominent frameworks for countering the influence of individuals and entities involved in violent extremism (VE).
Widely understood to describe a range of preventative and non-coercive measures, CVE may involve, for instance, community debates on sensitive topics, media messaging, interfaith dialogues, training of state governance and security actors, and a variety of initiatives with individuals deemed to be ‘at risk’ of being drawn to violence, such as vocational training and mentorship programmes.
While there are substantial overlaps between CVE and RR in terms of activities, and many authorities group them under the same umbrella, RR can be considered distinct because its activities more narrowly target individuals who were previously directly or indirectly involved in the production of violence, such as defectors from VE entities, or those serving sentences for terrorism-related charges.
This report aims to assist policy-makers and implementers by examining approaches through which to understand the drivers of VE and the wider context in which this violence occurs. It also looks at the design of CVE and RR programmes, and outlines key issues relating to programme monitoring and evaluation.
The report recommends that those involved in designing and implementing CVE and RR programmes should adopt robust classification systems for VE drivers; apply the ‘results frameworks’ and ‘theories of change’ approaches; recognise that CVE is not rebranded development programming; target ‘at risk’ individuals; mitigate risk without being excessively risk-averse; and explore possibilities for experimental and quasi-experimental designs.

security and international affairs to help build a safer UK and a more secure
East German physicists collaborated with CERN
despite the restrictions that existed as a result of the Berlin Wall
author of a book on the history of the Zeuthen laboratory near East Berlin
When Victor Weisskopf became director-general of CERN in July 1961
the laboratory had just about concluded a time of transition
With the commissioning of the Proton Synchrotron (PS) the year before
the European particle-physics community had turned to CERN
hoping to participate in the most advanced experimental possibilities available in Europe at the time
This had made it necessary to devise a procedure to decide which experiments to run and
In setting up the Emulsion Experiments Committee
the organization tried to channel the ideas of the groups that requested access to precious machine time
Among the groups that declared their interest were some from Eastern Europe; thus one of the political issues Weisskopf had to face during his term was how to deal with requests from institutes on the other side of the Iron Curtain
Weisskopf commented that he found it deplorable that CERN did not have any Eastern European members
and he tried to secure the participation of these countries by other means
One assumes that the question of East German access to CERN must have been particularly delicate
and the West German government continued to threaten diplomatic sanctions to every country or international organization that dared to recognize East Germany as a veritable state (the so-called Hallstein doctrine)
the head of the Research Laboratory for High Energy Physics in Zeuthen near the southern outskirts of East Berlin
was already preparing for the first one-year stay of one of his scientists at CERN
To answer this question we need to go back to the days before the big accelerators took over and high-energy physics was primarily the study of cosmic rays
These studies lived through a golden age after the end of the Second World War and played
in the shadow of nuclear energy (the physics topic of the time)
a number of sensational discoveries were made by two English groups; the identification of the pion (by Powell) and the so-called V particles or kaons (by Rochester and Butler) led many nuclear physicists to turn to the study of cosmic rays
the equipment needed to work on the topic was such that many groups all over Europe could afford it
no matter how strongly their science and economy had been affected by the war
this type of physics was so basic that politics interfered far less than in so many other
building up old and new personal networks throughout the 1950s
therefore became forerunners in the establishment of multinational collaborations
and helped to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western European science in the first post-war years
A major figure at the time was Cecil Powell
the discoverer of the pion and Nobel laureate for physics in 1950
who later became a prominent figure in the Pugwash movement
believed that science should endeavour to overcome political tensions
In those days his laboratory in Bristol became a meeting place for many young scientists from various Western European countries
later remembered his stay in Bristol: “Young people from a dozen nations or more worked together
celebrated their parties together long before CERN existed
I could not help thinking that the world would be better off if a similar spirit of co-operation would be prevailing in the field of politics also…”
Powell’s is the most prominent example for the establishment of a principle that rules high-energy physics to this day – the international distribution of labour
The principle also worked in Eastern Europe
but for a number of years contact between the East and West remained scarce
in collaboration with several Italian institutes
To this end he and his team launched balloons that carried the photosensitive material to heights of about 30 km above sea level
Developing and studying the emulsions was tedious
To secure such assistance Powell had proposed involving East European institutes and had travelled
with the silent consent of the British Foreign Office
As a result universities in Moscow (Dobrotin and Vernov) and Warsaw (Danysz) were to receive two of the five emulsion packages to be exposed
of which they eventually passed on plates to groups in Budapest
Powell’s initiative had followed the first International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy held in Geneva in August 1955
an event that facilitated a first wave of visits and collaborations across the Iron Curtain
a number of East European and Soviet scientists took the opportunity to visit the CERN site
Yet the underlying political motive of the Soviet Union and the US was not so much to allow free collaboration
but rather to draw third countries onto their respective sides
when the Soviet Union noticed that CERN had started to attract the interest and attention of some of its satellite states
it hastened to propose the foundation of an “Eastern Institute for Nuclear Research”
The proposal could not be refused by countries such as Poland
but it must be noted that the Soviet Union added considerable weight to its initiative by offering to include the 10 GeV Synchrophasotron in the new institute
which became the most powerful accelerator in the world between 1957 and the advent of the PS
11 East European and Asian countries gathered in Moscow to found the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)
JINR proposed an exchange of scientists between CERN and Dubna
For several reasons it took two years before the administrative and political questions connected to such a collaboration were answered
All CERN member states agreed that from a scientific point of view such an exchange would be highly desirable; only the German delegation to CERN voiced the concern that the “Soviet-occupied zone” (i.e
East Germany) could attempt to send physicists to Geneva via Dubna in order to bring itself closer to international recognition
The first exchange started in the latter half of 1960
As the group that arrived at CERN consisted of three Russian theorists
the German reservation did not come to bear
included an East German by the name of Walter Zöllner
Had the position of the West German government changed
The friendly relations between JINR and CERN
but also shortcomings in the political and scientific situation in Dubna
encouraged groups in Eastern Europe to seek direct admission to CERN
One of the first to do so was Marian Danysz of Poland
where he had established various valuable contacts in previous years
Gottstein in Munich advised him to send a letter of interest to the newly formed Emulsion Experiments Committee if he wanted to participate in the exposure of emulsions at the PS
and was immediately invited to the next meeting of the committee in February 1961
The man who answered Lanius’s request was Owen Lock
one of the two secretaries of the committee
Before sending his telegram to Zeuthen he had asked his former teacher and chairman of the committee
In an exchange of letters after the meeting
Lock also mentioned to Lanius that he had spoken with Weisskopf
about “the development of good contacts between CERN and groups of non-member state countries
He was much in favour of such contacts and asked us to do everything possible to foster them.” Three months later Lanius became one of three co-opted members of the committee
The two others were Cormac O’Ceallaigh of Ireland
This was a considerable success for Lanius
whose new status was imperilled by the erection of the Berlin Wall
For a few months travel to the West was almost impossible
and Lanius did not get permission to go to the meeting in October
Yet through the intercession of several government officials
he was allowed to travel to Geneva again in November 1961
the institute in Zeuthen did not take part in emulsion experiments; rather Lanius used his visits to CERN to ensure participation in a collaboration that carried out a bubble chamber experiment with 4 GeV pions
it was his West German contacts – Gottstein in Munich and Martin Teucher in Hamburg – that helped him in this
Asked if it would be all right to pass exposed films to East Germany
Weisskopf replied that there was no objection at all on the part of CERN to give pictures to Dr Lanius in East Berlin
Up to this point Weisskopf had preferred not to make this a political issue
This changed in 1962 when the “eminence grise” of East German physics
sent him a letter asking if it were possible to delegate two young scientists to CERN for a few months
This question tackled a central point of the organization’s policy
and thus Weisskopf had to put it before the CERN Council
The outcome was quite diplomatic: CERN could not
accept requests from governments of non-member states
“Any political motives are to be left completely out of consideration in this.” Unfortunately
the minutes of the relevant Council meeting are lost
but Weisskopf’s Solomonic statement indicates that the political body of CERN followed the director-general in his will not to let politics interfere in improving relations with the Eastern European physics community
Lanius felt it was time to prepare the first long-term delegation of one of his scientists
Weisskopf’s consent was easily received; the problem was rather to “sell” the importance of the CERN collaboration to the appropriate political institutions in his country
when in June 1963 Lanius wrote to a government official that it was unknown if Weisskopf’s successor would be similarly interested in fostering the ties with the socialist countries
he certainly anticipated that this argument was a good way to get visa formalities dealt with more quickly
On 4 March the second highest party committee
the secretariat of the East German communist party
agreed to the delegation of Dr Arnold Meyer to CERN for one year
Meyer had already left for Geneva a few days earlier
Lanius succeeded in sending further staff members to CERN for longer stays
and with the establishment of a separate budget for visiting scientists from non-member states
these were usually even paid for by CERN funds
The files in the CERN archives do not reflect why the West German government loosened its formerly rigid position towards the admission of East German physicists to CERN
The most obvious explanation seems to be that the crisis in German-German relations
which followed the erection of the Berlin Wall
brought about a subtle but decisive change
Bonn kept insisting that CERN should give no pretext to the East German government to use the international laboratory to legitimize its existence
it obviously wished to counter the terrible act of the East German government by demonstrating the advantages of a liberal
The decision adopted in 1962 by CERN Council referred the matter back to the merely administrative level
and to the benevolence of the director-general
The trick was simply to keep contacts and exchanges as far away from politics as possible
East German high-energy physics could participate in various CERN experiments throughout the decades until 1990
when the two German states finally reunited
Weisskopf lived to see his dream of the 1960s fulfilled in ample measure
CERN is now a truly international laboratory with almost all of the Eastern European countries as member states
and close contacts via co-operation agreements with effectively all of the remaining nations
in addition to organizations and countries such as UNESCO

Max earned his Diploma in Physics in 1973 from Humboldt University of Berlin (HUB
with a thesis on low-energy heavy-ion physics
He received his PhD in 1977 from the Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Zeuthen (now part of DESY) on the subject of multiparticle production
and his “habilitation” degree in 1984 from HUB
spending several years from 1977 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna
He was awarded the Max von Laue Medal by the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in 1985 for his role in determining the asymmetric interaction of polarised positive and negative muons with the NA4 muon spectrometer at CERN’s SPS M2 muon beam
As a member of the H1 experiment at the lepton–proton collider HERA from 1985
his research focused on investigating the internal structure of protons using deep inelastic scattering
and he served as H1 spokesperson from 2002 to 2006
He became a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool in 2006 and joined the ATLAS collaboration in 2007
he made key contributions to data analysis
notably on the high-precision 7 TeV inclusive W and Z boson production cross sections and associated properties
He led the Liverpool ATLAS team for eight years
the 30-strong group contributed to the maintenance of the SCT detector
His contributions to understanding the proton structure using deep-inelastic scattering led to the award of the Max Born Prize by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) and the Institute of Physics (IOP) in 2013
Max had a unique ability to form collaborations
bringing together people from different backgrounds to work towards a common goal
Following the Higgs boson discovery in 2012
the CERN Management gave him the official mandate to develop this study and included LHeC in the European Strategy of Particle Physics discussions and as an integral part of the FCC study
Max was also a strong advocate for developing energy recovery linear (ERL) accelerators and was influential in the development of the PERLE ERL demonstrator accelerator at IJCLab
for which he acted as spokesperson up to 2023
grounded in his selfless interactions with others and his deep sense of humanity
Drawing from his experience as a bridge between East and West
he was a strong advocate for international scientific collaboration and the responsibility of scientists toward their societies
The many of us who were fortunate enough to have worked alongside Max over the years know how profound his knowledge of physics was and how dedicated he was to experimental particle physics
We admired his ability to mentor and support students
as well as his wise and calm approach to solving problems
Throughout his long and exceptional career
Max’s passing is a profound loss for ATLAS and the entire high-energy physics community
especially to his beloved wife and our close colleague

A TriMet rider attacks cyclist Randy Albright in portland in 2004
The 50-year-old bicycle commuter who blocked a TriMet bus to demand an apology and instead got punched in the face won a fraction of the $48,000 he sought in a lawsuit
Arbitrator Gregory Zeuthen awarded cyclist Randy Albright $601 in a written ruling issued Thursday
Zeuthen said TriMet and Albright were equally at fault for the Jan
assault: TriMet because its bus driver conspired with the anonymous pas
Silent TriMet video captured the bus nearly sideswiping Albright that morning.Zeuthen noted in his ruling that even though Albright had stopped to jot down the number of the bus so he could later lodge a complaint
Albright needlessly caught up to the side of the bus and shouted at the driver for nearly 20 seconds
Eighteen seconds passed before the driver let the anonymous passenger disembark from the bus
Albright "clearly contributed to the escalation of the events," Zeuthen wrote.But Zeuthen also said bus driver Harold R
Cooper was wrong to let the passenger off and then back on and not call police
A witness heard the passenger say to Cooper
I will take care of this," and the bus driver say
Cooper knew he was contributing to an already deteriorating situation when he opened the door to allow this particular passenger off the bus," Zeuthen wrote.TriMet suspended Cooper
He died in August 2005 in a boating accident
Albright's award doesn't completely cover his medical expenses of $625 for a split lip requiring stitches
let alone the $48,000 he sought for non-economic damages
Albrightsaid he lost sleep after publicity on the case ignited a debate over cyclists and motorists sharing the road
The arbitrator ruled that Albright also is entitled to "prevailing fees" --an amount TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch said amounts to $250
And TriMet will be required to pay the arbitrator's fee
Fetsch said.Albright declined comment about the ruling

I hope it isn't giving too much away for iPlayer catcher-uppers to say that in the end Sarah Lund never did get that undemanding desk job
the third outing for this ferociously gripping Danish series dragged us screaming and biting our nails right down to the wire
and managed to reach a conclusion simultaneously shocking and saddening yet
the third series has been drenched in the anguish of loss and the pain of separation
The running theme has been the hunt for the kidnapped girl Emilie Zeuthen and the man who took her
apart from the distraught and distressed Zeuthen parents
most of the main characters have been carrying their own personal burdens (Anders W Berthelsen as Robert Zeuthen
Lund (the surely unimprovable Sofie Gråbøl) has been tentatively reaching out towards her estranged son Mark
in the process being forced to confront her failings as a mother which perhaps inevitably come with the job of homicide detective
Prime Minister Kristian Kamper (Olaf Johannessen) has been trying to fight an election campaign while coping with unravelling revelations about his dead son Benjamin
whose supposed suicide haunts him even more than precarious opinion polls
The kidnapper himself is driven by grief for his murdered daughter Louise Hjelby
his own neglect having condemned her to a life in care
In one of creator Søren Sveistrup's moments of bleakest irony
Louise was once used in a campaign to promote foster parenting
And then there was the Lund-Borch relationship
always bubbling under and apt to erupt volcanically at any moment
Especially impressive throughout has been how the layers of the story have interlocked and overlapped without feeling forced or phony. The way the political dimension has been threaded in and out of the the personal and private themes ought to stand as an object lesson to aspiring TV writers
to the extent that you could justifiably describe Killing III as a political drama
Johannessen's portrayal of Prime Minister Kamper has been a mini-marvel of its own
as he has tiptoed around the banana skins of treacherous coalition partners and his own ministers secretly conniving with the shadowy Special Branch
The poles of his personality - ruthless political animal and grieving father - were neatly mirrored in his clinically calculating brother Stoffer (Jonatan Spang
pictured above left with Johannessen) and his super-efficient yet emotionally sympathetic adviser
Again, the relationship between government and big business, in the shape of the Zeeland shipping conglomerate, was persuasively depicted as an unsentimental commercial bargain. In a time of plunging recession
Zeeland wanted guaranteed tax breaks if it wasn't going to move its operations overseas
Using Zeeland as a sinister corporate bogeyman became a kind of matador's cloak for the development of the plot
One smart counter-intuitive touch was the way the quest to find missing Emilie brought her estranged parents - her dad was Zeeland's would-be progressive boss Robert Zeuthen (Anders W Berthelsen) - back together
The powers that be at The Killing HQ are telling us that this was the last-ever series

Split from parent Maersk is energising the group as it tackles decarbonisation
Leaving one of the biggest shipping groups in the world to steer an independent path might daunt some executives.
But not Kasper Nilaus, chief executive of towage giant Svitzer, which is being spun off from AP Moller-Maersk through a listing in Copenhagen next month.
The boss told TradeWinds: “I find it super-exciting.
A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt
has threatened to commit the management of an international Marine and Energy service company
Topaz Energy and Marine to prison for court contempt and what it termed “notice of consequence of court disobedience.”
The warning which was contained in Form 48 and signed by Justice I
Watila was directed in particular to the company’s Chief Executive Officer
“Mr Rene Kofod-Olsen take notice that unless you obey the directions contained in the order of court made by Hon Justice I Watila of the Federal High Court Port Harcourt Division on the 17th of August 2016,you will be guilty of contempt of court and will be liable to be committed to prison.”
Justice Watila issued the Form 48 for the arrest of the Topaz CEO and the other persons to explain why they have been contemptuous in disregarding the court’s order
This action is in relation to their alleged disobedience of the court’s earlier order that their ocean-going vessels
Amani and Caspian Breeze should not be moved out of the country without the express permission of the law court as stipulated by Nigerian Law
following a dispute between Topaz Energy and Marine and its local partners for breach of contract terms guiding their shareholders agreement
a situation that made the court to order an arrest of the above vessels
the court learnt that Caspian Breeze has left Nigerian waters
the court also ordered relevant security authorities to detain on sighting the vessel
The Nigerian partner is claiming that it is “owed over $12m by Topaz on account of the profits made by Topaz Nigeria
which has not been remitted to it and that Topaz is cooking the accounts to depress the profits and call for more shareholders’ investment
“That Topaz also lumped up expenditure of Topaz Dubai on the accounts of the Nigerian sister company arbitrarily and has refused to call any board meetings.”
“Price Waterhouse Accountants not be dragged to assist in any cover up by deliberately undervaluing the company for purposes of shielding Topaz.”
The partners have began processes to take Topaz to a U.K court for breach of contract
Topaz alleged disobedience of court orders has been the hallmark of their senior management where they appear to have scant regard for the laws of the lands in which they are visitors and operate their vessels
