Was die Arbeit im Haushalt angeht, stimmen die Intentionen der Werbung und die arbeitswissenschaftlichen Prognosen weitgehend überein: Was an der Haushaltsarbeit noch nicht rationalisiert ist, kann nebenher erledigt werden, letztlich wird sie überflüssig. Die unangestrengte 'Superfrau' der Werbung ist attraktive Karrierefrau und berufstätige Mutter zugleich. Trotz dieser Bilder sagt uns die Alltagserfahrung, dass Berufstätigkeit und die Sorge für sich selbst und für Andere nicht ohne weiteres vereinbar sind. Und die neuere Haushaltswissenschaft weist darauf hin, dass neue Arbeiten im Haushalt entstanden sind, die mit der Technisierung des Alltagslebens, dem steigenden Lebensstandard und der zunehmenden Mobilität einhergehen, mit den zahlreichen Rollen und Verpflichtungen, in die alle Haushaltsmitglieder eingebunden sind. Wohlstand macht Arbeit – und zwar vor allem in den eigenen vier Wänden. Die Spaltung der gesellschaftlich notwendigen Arbeit in betriebsförmige Erwerbsarbeit und private Arbeit im eigenen Haushalt charakterisiert alle modernen Gesellschaften. Auch die Verbindung dieser Spaltung mit dem Geschlechterverhältnis ist ubiquitär; mit der Transformation der vorindustriellen Arbeitsteilung in das industrielle Arrangement von Arbeit und Leben sind in den meisten modernen Gesellschaften Rechtsvorschriften und wohlfahrtsstaatliche Bedingungen geschaffen worden, die die Sorge für Andere zum Kern der Lebensführung von Frauen gemacht haben. Diese Regulierung hat jedoch in verschiedenen Ländern gerade für die Arbeit im Haushalt sehr unterschiedliche Konsequenzen. In Deutschland unterstellen Arbeitsmarkt und Sozialversicherungen für ihr Funktionieren die Sorgearbeit in der Familie. Daher gibt es wenig öffentliche Kinderbetreuung jenseits des Kindergartens und bisher fast keine Ganztagsschulen. So findet im privaten Haushalt nicht nur die alltägliche Versorgung der Erwerbstätigen statt, sondern auch der überwiegende Teil der Betreuung und Erziehung der Kinder und der Sorge für Ältere. Die Arbeit im Haushalt ist durch die wechselseitigen Unterhaltsund Sorgeansprüche und –verpflichtungen zusammen lebender (und auch nicht zusammen lebender) Personen charakterisiert; daher hat sie eine extrem große Bedeutung für die soziale Integration einer Gesellschaft. Diese Bedeutung der Haushaltsarbeit wird jedoch in Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit weithin verkannt; die integrative Wirkung wird dem Zusammenleben als solchem, den emotional-expressiven Funktionen der Gemeinschaft zugeschrieben.

Regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell function by mechanical strain

Although smooth muscle cells participate in the remodeling associated with atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases, the mechanisms by which these cells interact with their mechanical environment are incompletely characterized. This thesis serves to elucidate the capacity of smooth muscle cells to modulate their matrix and respond to mechanical loading. Because integrins mediate many cell-matrix interactions, the role of integrins in reorganization and mechanical contraction of collagen by smooth muscle cells was assessed in blocking antibody studies. Of the collagen-specific integrins (a(11, c2 p1, and CI31) found to be expressed by these cells, only the ct• and a2 integrins mediated smooth muscle cell adhesion to collagen. In addition collagen gel contraction was mediated by a 2, but not by ao or a3 integrins. Interestingly, gel contraction was inhibited by an anti-031 antibody known for its stimulatory effect on cell adhesion. To evaluate the mechanical regulation of smooth muscle cell function in a threedimensional matrix, collagen gel cultures were subjected to uniaxial, unconfined compression. Sustained static compression led to a decrease in DNA and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, respectively, as measured by 3H-thymidine and 35S-sulfate incorporation. Decreased incorporation was not due to diffusive limitation of the radiolabel into the gel. A brief transient compression led to a delayed induction of DNA synthesis but a decrease in glycosaminoglycan synthesis. The induction of DNA synthesis increased with the compressive gel strain, and was mediated by autocrine release of FGF-2 as demonstrated by antibody-blocking studies and ELISA. Thus mechanical loading differentially regulates metabolic functions of smooth muscle cells in a three-dimensional culture. Cellular strain was hypothesized to control the release of FGF-2 from smooth muscle cells; however, these strains cannot be readily assessed theoretically or experimentally from the bulk gel strain. Thus, a second method which imposes homogeneous and biaxially uniform strains to monolayer cells was developed. Oscillatory strain induced FGF-2 release dependent on the amplitude (0-30%), frequency (0 1 Hz), and number of cycles of strain (0 10'). There was a strain amplitude-threshold (10%) below which FGF-2 was not released. Above this threshold, FGF-2 release increased with the frequency, amplitude, and cycle number, but was maximally released by only -102 cycles of strain. Thus cellular strain amplitude and/or strain rate tightly regulate the release of FGF-2 from vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, heparin studies demonstrated that cellular strain causes a transfer of intracellular FGF-2 to the extracellular low-affinity receptors.
Robust adaptive tracking control of hydraulic actuators with unmodeled dynamics

Traditional control methods for precise motion control of electro-hydraulic servo systems are primarily based on rigid-body dynamics of the system. Considering that structural flexibility of the mechanical components have a certain impact on all drive systems, the neglected high-frequency dynamics caused by structural flexibility have become one of the major obstacles when developing better control performance. In this paper, a high-accuracy tracking control is concerned for hydraulic actuators with unmodeled flexible dynamics. Firstly, a damping term is utilized to counterweigh the unmodeled nonlinear flexible function and a dynamic signal is designed to control the dynamic flexible disturbance. Then, in order to process parametric uncertainties along with unmodeled flexible dynamics, an adaptive backstepping controller is proposed. The controller theoretically guarantees global bounded tracking performance via Lyapunov analysis. The experimental and simulation results illustrate the high-performance nature of the proposed controller.
Fate, Distribution and Sources of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Contaminated Soils in Parts of Calabar Metropolis, South Eastern Nigeria

: The paper is aimed at the investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils collected at depths of 15 to 100cm from two spilled sites in the vicinity of a leaking pipeline (Calabar, Nigeria). The soils were prepared in the laboratory using standard procedure and were analyzed for sixteen priority PAHs using Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrophotometer (GC - MS). The concentration of total PAHs (TPAHs) in the contaminated soils ranged from 4.28 to 29.77mg/Kg and decreased with depth. These levels are higher than values obtained from rural and semi urban soils but lower than values obtained from soils in the vicinity of some petroleum handling facilities in part of the study area. Generally the soils were relatively enriched with medium-and lower-molecular-weight PAHs.
Chemical analysis of mortars of archaeological samples from Mediana locality, Serbia

Mineralogical and chemical composition of mortar from the floor, ceiling and wall of Stibadium B, from the archaeological site of Mediana (Serbia) have been analysed using ICP-OES, F? IR and XRD-spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The results show that hydraulic lime mortar was used with crushed bricks as artificial puzzolanic aggregate. Large contribution of silicon- and aluminum-oxides, indicate the presence of quartz and phyllosilicate minerals derived from the aggregate, river sand and crushed bricks. Also, high content of Pb and Cu was observed in investigated samples.
Finite element model to study potassium dynamics in the rhizosphere of a wheat root due to presence of bio-physical source

Potassium is a crucial nutrient required for maintaining the health of a plant. It increases the resistance power of the plant against the diseases. Apart from this potassium plays important role in various other physical and physiological functions involved in the growth of a plant. Uptake of potassium by the root of crop plant depends upon its availability in the rhizosphere of the root. The potassium dynamics in the soil is not well understood till date. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the potassium dynamics in the rhizosphere of the root of wheat crop in the presence and absence of bio-physical source. A finite element model is proposed for a two dimensional unsteady state case. A bio-physical source consisting of rock powder and yeast torulaspora globosa is assumed to be present in the soil. The rock powder contains insoluble potassium which is converted into soluble form of potassium by yeast torulaspora globosa. The model incorporates the term water flux, diffusion coefficient, soil porosity, soil buffer power, uptake coefficient of root etc. The results have been computed using MATLAB. The numerical results have been used to analyze the impact of bio-physical source on the potassium dynamics in the rhizosphere of a root of wheat. The presence of bio-fertilizer leads to significant changes in potassium concentration in the rhizosphere of the wheat root and therefore the bio-physical source consisting of rock powder and yeast torulaspora globosa is recommended as a bio-fertilizer for maintenance of health and growth of wheat crop.
Exploring Forms of Life in Player Development Pathways: The Case of British Rugby League

Social, cultural, and historical constraints can influence attitudes towards learning, developing, and performing in sport. A recent conceptualization of these environmental constraints in athlete development pathways is a form of life, which describes the values, beliefs, traditions, customs, and behaviors that contribute to an athlete’s development. Although a form of life can have a powerful influence on athlete development, research exploring this relationship is limited. In this article we explore the form of life in British rugby league football player development contexts to clarify how social, cultural, and historical constraints influence the development of rugby league players in the United Kingdom. Twenty-four coaches were interviewed through individual semi-structured interviews to collect the data. Findings show how forms of life in rugby league player development pathways are established and maintained by the complex interactions between the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem that shape and guide the development of players. We recommend that player development pathways in sport underpin practice with a theoretical framework of the learning process to protect athletes from social, cultural, and historical constraints that are not conducive to their development.
Reduction of the Detent Force in a Flux-Switching Permanent Magnet Linear Motor

In this paper, the detent force caused by the end effect in a flux-switching permanent magnet linear motor (FSPMLM) with six slots and five poles is investigated and reduced by two different methods. First, the detent force is diminished by adjusting the position of end teeth of primary side and injecting compensation current into compensation windings wound around the end teeth. Based on the linear relationship between compensation current and compensation force, the proper compensation current is derived and analyzed. Then, to avoid the magnetic coupling between compensation windings and phase windings, a novel compensation module with independent magnet circuit is presented and attached to the primary side of FSPMLM. Third, the two detent force reduction methods are compared with each other, and the compensation module is proved to be more effective. Finally, a prototype of FSPMLM with compensation modules is manufactured and tested to validate the proposed compensation method.
Variable Selection with Big Data based on Zero Norm and via Sequential Monte Carlo

Selecting a subset from many potential explanatory variables in linear regressions has long been the subject of research interest, and the matter is made more important in the era of big data when many more variables become available/accessible. Of late, the l_1-norm penalty based techniques such as Lasso of Tibshirani (1996) have become very popular. However, the variable selection problem in its natural setting is a zero-norm penalty problem, i.e., a penalty on the number of variables as opposed to the l_1-norm of the regression coefficients. The popularity of the l_1-norm penalty or its variants has more to do with computational considerations, because selection with the zero-norm penalty is a highly demanding combinatory optimization problem when the number of potential variables becomes large. We devise a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method as a practical and reliable tool for zero-norm variable selection problems, and selecting, say, best 20 out of 1,000 potential variables can, for example, be completed with a typical multi-core desktop computer in a couple of minutes. The methodological essence is to understand that the selection problem is equivalent to the task of sampling from a discrete probability function de fined over all possible combinations comprising, say, k regressors out of p>=k potential variables, where the peak of this function corresponds to the optimal combination. The solution technique sets out to sequentially generate samples, and after a while the final sample represents the target probability function. With the fi nal SMC sample in place, we deploy the extreme value theory to assess how likely and to what extent the maximum R2 has been achieved. We also demonstrate through a simulation study the method's reliability and superiority vis-a-vis the adaptive Lasso.
Controlled Island Formation of Large-Area Graphene Sheets by Atmospheric Chemical Vapor Deposition: Role of Natural Camphor

Camphor-based mono-/bilayer graphene (MLG) sheets have been synthesized by very facile atmospheric chemical vapor deposition processes on Si/SiO2, soda lime glass, and flexible polyethylene terephthalate films. The effect of camphor concentration with respect to distance between camphor and the Cu foil (D) has been varied to investigate the controlled formation of a homogeneous graphene sheet over a large area on Cu foil. Raman studies show a remarkable effect of camphor at a typical distance (D) to form a monolayer to multilayer graphene (MULG) sheet. The signature of MLG to MULG sheets appears due to increase in the number of nucleation sites, even over the subsequent domains that contribute stacks of graphene over each other as observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Moreover, the increase in camphor concentration at a particular distance generates more defect states in graphene as denoted by D band at 1360 cm–1. Uniform distribution of large-area MLG demonstrates an intense 2D/G ratio of ∼2.3. Electrical and optical measurements show a sheet resistance of ∼1 kΩ/sq with a maximum transmittance of ∼88% at 550 nm for low camphor concentration. An improvement in the rectification and photodiode behavior is observed from the diodes fabricated on n-Si/MULG as compared to n-Si/MLG in dark and light conditions.

Research on Parallel Pipeline Strategy and Controllable Write Allocation of High Speed Solid State Storage Array

Due to the special write mode and limited lifetime characteristics of NAND Flash, a variety of technologies for the solid state disk flash translation layer (FTL) have been spawned. The existing Flash channel management method does not completely release the bandwidth of the Flash channel. In response to this problem, combined with a Nand Flash channel organization form of a solid-state disk, a multi-level parallel management mode is designed and implemented inside the SSD, which greatly improves the solid state. At the same time, a write distribution mechanism implemented in the upper layer software is designed. This mechanism can cooperate with the internal firmware of the SSD to realize the controllable write allocation of the host, strengthen the management ability of the user to the SSD, and realize the transparency of the data block.
Hostile Media Perceptions of Friendly Media Do Reinforce Partisanship

The hostile media effect (HME) entails that partisanship incites hostile perceptions of media content. However, other research underscores that partisans selectively turn to like-minded media, resulting in a friendly media phenomenon (FMP). The present study suggests that the HME and FMP co-exist, and, furthermore, jointly affect people’s voting behavior. More specifically, based on a media content analysis and a long-term panel survey surrounding the 2014 election for the European Parliament in the Netherlands, we find that people selectively turn to like-minded friendly media (FMP), but perceive coverage about the EU (European Union) in these media as relatively unsupportive of their own position (HME). In this context, the FMP and HME appear to jointly influence voting behavior. People cast votes in line with the objectively partisan-friendly media tone of their self-selected media. However, to a certain extent they do so, because they seem motivated to counteract the seemingly unfair or insufficient coverage about the EU.
4CPS-056 Mapping antibiotic use patterns in a septic orthopaedic ward

Background The Septic Ward treats patients with bone-, joint- and prosthetic-joint infections. The treatment of these infections requires complex, long-term antibiotic therapies. Clinical pharmacy services were introduced in 2015. This included revision of antimicrobial therapies and surveillance of antibiotic consumption. Purpose The aim of the study was to analyse antibiotic use and microbiological data in the ward between 2010 and 2017. Material and methods Data was collected on systemic antibiotics dispensed from the pharmacy’s database. Both WHO defined daily dose (DDD) and prescribed daily dose (PDD) methods were used to analyse the antibiotic consumption, standardised to 100 patient days. PDDs were defined according to therapeutic guidelines and revised by infectologists. Microbiological data were collected from the Microbiology Department’s database. Results The cost of antibiotics accounts for 65% of all pharmaceutical expenses between 2010 and 2017. Twenty-eight antibacterial agents were used in 2017, 30 in 2013 and 2010. In 2017, 11 agents were responsible for the DU90% segment of the consumption. Most extensively used agents were amoxicillin-clavulanic-acid, cefuroxime and ciprofloxacin. There was a significant difference between the results of DDD-PDD analyses. The utilisation of clindamycin (14.48 DDD/100 patient days in 2013 vs. 2.99 in 2017 – the same in PDDs) and ceftriaxone (3.61 vs. 0.31 DDD/100 patient days – the same in PDDs) decreased notably, while the use of narrow-spectrum beta-lactams increased in the past 3 years (from 2.93 to 7.84 DDD/100 patient days – 1.12 vs. 4.13 PDD/100 patient days), which was an initial goal of the pharmacists’ interventions. Microbiological data showed an increased rate of multiresistant pathogens, especially Vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (0 in 2010, two in 2013 and 14 in 2017), resulting in increased consumption of reserve antibiotics such as linezolid (no use until 2015, 0.23 DDD/100 patient days in 2017) and tigecycline (no use until 2013, 0.28 DDD/100 patient days in 2017). Conclusion Monitoring the use of antibiotics and comparing results with microbiological data provides a range of local resistance conditions, which are fundamental to antimicrobial guideline development. The data highlights desirable trends and critical points, allowing pharmacists to feedback to prescribers and emphasise the value of their interventions. Interpretation of results must account for the fact that the generally accepted DDD method can be incorrect due to differences in antibiotic dosing.

Landscape and Urban Planning Top-down segregated policies undermine the maintenance of traditional wooded landscapes: Evidence from oaks at the European Union ’ s eastern border

Semi-open oak woods and solitary oaks commonly dominate the wooded fabric (i.e. the ‘ oakscape ’ ) of European traditional rural agricultural landscapes based on animal husbandry. However, modern land use systems fail to perpetuate oakscapes, posing a serious threat to biodiversity conservation and the associated diversity of ecosystem services. Reconstructing the dynamics of oakscape remnants can provide valuable insights concerning the maintenance of oakscapes. We used the socio- economic transitions at the European Union ’ s eastern border as a natural experiment to explore the drivers for successful oak recruitment in 27 selected units representing 4 oakscape categories. Analyses of tree-ring data, historical maps, and orthophotos were used to reconstruct the oakscapes ’ establishment trajectories in relation to land use changes in the period 1790 – 2010. The oaks in cultural semi-open woods and wood-pastures di ﬀ ered substantially from those in closed canopy forests by more stocky shape and faster early age DBH annual increase. We found two distinct recruitment patterns: (1) FAST – recruitment usually completed within 2 – 3 decades, attributed to an unconstrained succession of abandoned agricultural land, and (2) SLOW – recruitment extending over several or more decades. In Ukraine, frequent illegal grass burning in marginal woods was the most successful mechanism perpetuating oak recruitment. Top-down policy encouraging spe- cialized intensive farming, sustained yield forestry, and conservation e ﬀ orts concentrated on the preservation of closed canopy forests compromise the future of traditional agro-silvo-pastoral systems. Maintenance of traditional integrated agro-silvo-pastoral management sustaining oakscapes needs to combine local tradi- tional knowledge and landscape stewardship.
