Reform der Pflegeversicherung. Es gibt eine neue Bund-Länder-Arbeitsgruppe dazu.

Pflege: Immer noch vor der Reform
Wie können die Pflegekosten für eine wachsende Bevölkerungsgruppe in Zukunft finanziert werden? Vorhandene Vorschläge gehen weit auseinander, von privater Vorsorge bis zur Umgestaltung des ganzen Systems.

The White House is singing a different tune these days.
Administration officials say abolishing the FEMA outright is not on the agenda -- with one senior official telling the Post that “changes in the agency will probably amount to a ‘rebranding’ that will emphasize state leaders’ roles in disaster response.”
Noem, who apparently had not received the new White House talking points, was still talking about scrapping FEMA this week,
when she claimed the agency is “slower to ge…

Trump and Noem’s attacks on FEMA make Texas floods all the more devastating
For months before the Texas flash floods, President Donald Trump and his administration floated the idea of abolishing the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Vision-driven River Following of UAV via Safe Reinforcement Learning using Semantic Dynamics Model
Vision-driven autonomous river following by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is critical for applications such as rescue, surveillance, and environmental monitoring, particularly in dense riverine environments where GPS signals are unreliable. We formalize river following as a coverage control problem in which the reward function is submodular, yielding diminishing returns as more unique river segments are visited, thereby framing the task as a Submodular Markov Decision Process. First, we introduce Ma…

I have written a write up of the rebranding across the government.
Very much looking forward to the rationing app the Ministry of Plenty is sure to roll out so we can get food.

Government Rebranding Continues
What’s in a name? Late Friday, after an Oval Office presentation to the press discussing the new secondary name "Department of War" for the former Department of Defense by the President and Secretary of War for Pete Hegseth, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced further secondary names for

An effective implementation of high-order compact gas-kinetic scheme on structured meshes for compressible flows
A novel fifth-order compact gas-kinetic scheme is developed for high-resolution simulation of compressible flows on structured meshes. Its accuracy relies on a new multidimensional fifth-order compact reconstruction that uses line-averaged derivatives to introduce additional degrees of freedom, enabling a compact stencil with superior resolution. For non-orthogonal meshes, reconstruction is performed on a standard reference cell in a transformed computational space. This approach provides a uni…

Temperature-compensating package for OH line filters for astronomy: II. manufacture, assembly, and performance study
Multi-channel aperiodic fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based hydroxyl (OH) line filters have attracted significant interest in ground-based near-infrared (NIR) astronomical observations. In this paper, we present the performance of a new self-compensating enclosure for the filters, that can be used in non-temperature-controlled environments. Our prototype encloses a 110 mm long single-mode photosensitive optical fiber with three 10 mm filter gratings. A fourth grating was used as a reference outside…
