This document summarizes research on how place attachment influences perceptions of infrastructure development like a potential nuclear waste disposal site. The researchers conducted interviews and workshops in three German regions to analyze differences in place attachment and perceptions of visualized models of surface facilities. Key findings include that place attachment was more strongly shaped by social and functional relationships to landscape rather than preserving a "typical" landscape. Perceptions of waste facilities were more negative due to associated risks, and visualization and discussion helped increase understanding and more positive perceptions. The researchers conclude that a place-sensitive long-term governance approach is needed to integrate a disposal site into local identity.

It influences how knowledge is preserved and decisions are made for future generations. Spatial, temporal, and social aspects influence how nuclear cultural heritage is developed and implemented. International examples and frameworks were also identified that could aid in operationalizing nuclear cultural heritage.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Evaluation and Identification of J'BaFofi the Giant Spider of Congo and Moke...MrSproy
ABSTRACT
The J'BaFofi, or "Giant Spider," is a mainly legendary arachnid by reportedly inhabiting the dense rain forests of
the Congo. As despite numerous anecdotal accounts and cultural references, the scientific validation remains more elusive.
My study aims to proper evaluate the existence of the J'BaFofi through the analysis of historical reports,indigenous
testimonies and modern exploration efforts.

Background: Nuclear Waste Governance
• site selection process described as „wicked“ sociotechnical
problem
• traditional top-down governance failed (e.g. Gorleben)
• external factors like Fukushima affected attitude towards
nuclear energy
• political „window of opportunity“
• participation is regarded as more than just a helpful tool
• Site Selection Act 2013 and Commission for the Disposal of
High-Level Waste (2014-2016)

The German Site Selection Procedure
• based on German Site Selection Act 2017 (StandAG 2017)
• pays more attention to participatory elements:
- National Civil Society Board (NBG)
- Subareas Conference
- Regional conferences and council of regions
- Informal participatory elements
• aim: implement a participatory, self-reflecting and learning
procedure
• agency responsible for participation: Federal Office for the
Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BfE)

Research Project (2018-2020)
Title: „Public participation in the siting procedure for a final
repository: challenges of a cross-generational, self-reflecting and
learning procedure“
Working steps and context of results:
• development of a concept for participation
• analysis of regulatory framework and development of modules
for a learning authority
• analysis of narratives on final disposal and development of
future visions
Contracting authority: Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear
Waste Management (BfE)

Methodological approach
• research question: What kind of requirements does a learning
procedure impose on the overall process and its institutions?
• juridical analysis of legal requirements and the scope for
participatory elements
• literature review on elements of organizational learning
combined with an empirical analysis on work modi of the BfE
• problem description and design in cooperation with BfE
• group discussions and qualitative interviews (with BfE-staff)
• analysis and critical reflection of findings

Participatory and learning procedure? – Options,
limitations and requirements
● prior informal participatory elements become formal by legal
commitment
‒ design is fixed
‒ implementation of findings in decision-making still has to be defined
● informal participatory elements required
‒ can be implemented by several actors
‒ design is open
‒ integration in decision-making process needs to be defined
● co-design of participatory procedure
‒ between administrative authorities, politics, and stakeholders

Participatory and learning procedure? – Options,
limitations and requirements
● limitations:
‒ BfE as regulator and agency responsible for participation and steering of
the process
‒ democratic decision-making only in parliament, no veto-rights or
referendum
● selected requirements for a learning procedure
‒ various participation options for all interested actors
‒ openness of all actors and
‒ interaction and communication between actors on eye level
‒ reflection of the process by continual evaluation

Preliminary (indicative) conclusions
• need for a conceptual elaboration of terms like „self-reflecting“
and „learning“
• formal embeddedness of participatory elements needs clear
messages according to empowerment
• enabling of participation regarding e.g. knowledge/information
gaps, financial configuration, networks/actor cooperation and
deliberation – reflecting the aim of democratization
• development of a positive error culture (and of ambitious
narratives)
