Authors: Şahinöz Turgut , Şahinöz Saime
Published: February 2020

Objective: To determine the lifestyles, healthy living strategies and socio-cultural characteristics of elderly people who lived long and healthy.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study. This study was conducted on 472 elderly patients, aged 80 years and over, selected by random sampling method. The socio-demographic characteristics and daily living activities of the elderly were determined by face to face interview technique using the “Elderly Questionnaire” developed by the researchers in 2018. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.

Results: Based on the average age (84) of the elderly in the research group, it was seen that they were able to exceed the average life expectancy of their fathers (72) and mothers (73). It has been found that the participants live 11-12 years longer than their parents. It was also found that more than half (51.9%) of the elderly have the habit of walking regularly every day. It was determined that the elderly mostly consumed vegetables and fruits (88.5%), milk and dairy products and meat, respectively.

Conclusion: The elderly stated that natural and healthy nutrition, working and staying away from stress in the top three places as the reason of their long and healthy life.

Published: February 2020

Background: Since 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a commercially available lateral-flow urine LAM test (Alere-LAM) to assist in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in severely ill people living with HIV (PLHIV). The test can rapidly detect TB in severely ill PLHIV and can identify PLHIV most at-risk of death, leading to mortality reductions. However, its uptake in countries with high burdens of TB and HIV has been slow. To assess the current use landscape and identify barriers to the adoption of Alere-LAM, we conducted a questionnaire-based study in 31 high TB and HIV/AIDS burden countries.

Methods: Between November 2018 and December 2019, we collected responses to a semi-structured questionnaire that had been emailed to staff and affiliates of National TB Programs or HIV/AIDS Programs, Ministries of Health, and TB or HIV institutes of 31 high TB/HIV burden countries. Questions concerned country policies, adoption, and current use of Alere-LAM testing, as well as testing algorithms and barriers preventing Alere-LAM uptake.

Results: We received questionnaire responses from 24 out of 31 (77%) high TB/HIV burden countries. Of these 24 countries, 11 (46%) had adopted Alere-LAM policies, with only five (21%) countries currently using Alere-LAM testing. Testing algorithms were generally aligned with WHO recommendations. Fifteen countries (63%) said they were planning to implement Alere-LAM testing in the near future. The most commonly cited constraint to adoption and implementation was budget limitations. Additional barriers to Alere-LAM implementation included lack of country-specific data and piloting, administrative hurdles such as regulatory agency approval, lack of coordination between National TB and HIV programs, and small perceived patient population.

Conclusion: Responses to our questionnaire demonstrate the persistent gap between country-level policy and real-world use of Alere-LAM, as well as specific barriers that must be addressed to scale-up testing in PLHIV.
Emotion-focused therapy as a transdiagnostic treatment for depression, anxiety and related disorders: Protocol for an initial feasibility randomised control trial
Authors: Timulak Ladislav , Keogh Daragh , McElvaney James , Schmitt Sonja , Hession Natalie , Timulakova Katarina , Jennings Ciaran , Ward Fiona
Published: February 2020

Background: Depression, anxiety and related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorders and trauma/stressor related disorders, have high prevalence, chronic courses and cause significant impairment. These disorders are also highly co-morbid, and appear to share etiology and maintenance factors. Recent developments have seen the emergence of transdiagnostic approaches that systematically address the common/shared features of these disorders. A key advantage of transdiagnostic approaches is that they can reduce the pressure on mental health professionals to be proficient in a plethora of single-disorder focused treatments. Currently almost all transdiagnostic approaches come from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). However, not all clients prefer or benefit from CBT. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) represents an evidence-based alternative to CBT. This study aims to examine a transdiagnostic adaptation of EFT (EFT-T) as a treatment for depression, anxiety and related disorders.

Method: The current study is a randomised controlled trial that aims to establish the efficacy of EFT-T vs. wait-list control in the treatment of depression, anxiety and related disorders. Up to 40 clients presenting in a psychology/counselling service will be randomly assigned to two conditions: EFT-T (n=20) and wait-list control, with delayed intervention (n=20). Primary outcome measures will be the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Symptoms, the Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Symptoms, and the Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure. Disorder specific self-report measures will also be used to assess the main symptomatology of respective primary diagnoses. Clients will be assessed prior to therapy, at week 16, at end of therapy, and at 6 months follow-up.

Discussion: This study aims to provide an initial test of EFT-T as a transdiagnostic treatment for depression, anxiety and related disorders. It will provide estimates of effects sizes that can inform power calculations for a comparative trial, comparing EFT-T to a standard transdiagnostic treatment, CBT.

Introducing ExHiBITT – Exploring Host microBIome inTeractions in Twins –, a colon multiomic cohort study
Authors: Mora-Ortiz Marina , Ibraheim Hajir , Hermangild Kottoor Sherine , Bowyer Ruth C. E. , Metrustry Sarah , Sanderson Jeremy , Powell Nicholas , D. Spector Tim , S. Small Kerrin , Steves Claire J.
Published: February 2020

Background: The colon is populated by approximately 1012 microorganisms, but the relationships between this microbiome and the host health status are still not completely understood. Here, our objective is to present the cohort characteristics of ExHiBITT – Exploring Host microBIome inTeractions in Twins – including i) biomedical phenotypes, ii) environmental factors and ii) colonoscopic findings.

Methods: Participants from the TwinsUK cohort were recruited to study the interactions between the microbiome and host adaptive immunity. In total, 205 monozygotic twins were recruited from the wider TwinsUK cohort. They completed health questionnaires, and provided saliva, blood, colon biopsies from three different locations, caecal fluid, and two faecal samples.

Results: A significant proportion of this apparently normal cohort had colonic polyps (28%), which are of interest as potential precursors of colorectal cancer, and, as expected, the number of polyps found was significantly correlated with BMI and age. Hitherto undiagnosed diverticulosis was also not infrequently found during colonoscopy (26%) and was associated with changes in Hybrid Th1-17 cells in the colon. Twin proband co-occurrence rate for diverticulosis (82%) was much higher than for polyps (42%). Familial factors affecting morphology or tolerance may contribute to the ease of endoscopy, as both the time to reach the caecum and pain perceived were highly concordant (proband concordance: 85% and 56%, respectively).

Conclusions: We found the expected positive relationship between BMI and colonoscopic anomalies such as diverticular disease and polyps in the whole population, but within twin pairs this association was reversed. This suggests that familial factors confound these associations. Host and microbial next generation sequencing and metabolomics of the samples collected are planned in this cohort.
Cartographies of the mind: Generalization and relevance in cognitive landscapes
Authors: Rodríguez Gómez Sergio
Published: February 2020

The problem of relevance, at individual agent scale – or how we decide what is adequate for our interpretation of the signs we encounter in the world – is a question that keeps reappearing in semiotics and other disciplines concerned with meaning. In this article I propose an approximation on relevance that conceives meaning as a trajectory across a cognitive landscape. Unlike conventional accounts on relevance, which presuppose mental processes built on feature-based representations, my proposal suggests conceiving cognition as a fluid and emergent field of attractors basins that become specified and modified when experiences appear, and conceiving meaning as a trajectory across the cognitive field. Consequently, I suggest that when cognitive landscapes better fit world experience, agents’ categorizations will be more relevant. My proposal is mainly supported by two approaches: the enactivist notion of structural coupling and the theories of dynamic neural populations of Walter Freeman III.
General sociolinguistics, social semiotics and semiotics of culture – ex pluribus unum? Forty years after Language as Social Semiotic
Authors: Zolyan Suren
Published: February 2020

The birth of social semiotics is usually associated with the publication of Michael Halliday’s book Language as Social Semiotic (1978). We try to draw attention to possible new developments in social semiotics, which still remain a potential transdisciplinary project for social sciences. In order to do this, we address the interrelation between sociolinguistics, social semiotics and the semiotics of culture. All of these describe mechanisms of meaning production and translation beyond linguistic structures. The differentiation between these workings is based on a distinc tion between various aspects of meaning production and communication and functional characteristics of goal setting. The complexity of these processes legitimates the complexity of methodology used to describe them. Interconnection between different domains and aspects may create synthetic methods based on the dynamic approach to meaning production and transmission.
Fairy tales between transformation and repetition: How audiences rethink the big romantic myth through Disney princess stories
Authors: Menise Tatjana
Published: February 2020

One of the ways in which culture becomes enriched is through reconsideration and reinterpretation of well-known stories, and classic fairy tales provide promising material for investigation of the nature of this complex process. The Walt Disney Company is among the most powerful tellers of classic tales, its line of princess animations being an example of simultaneous development and preservation of the fairy-tale phenomenon in a changing cultural context.

We analyse the dialogue among classic and modern princess stories and the discussions that these stories give rise to in English-language academic criticism and English-based participatory culture. We focus on the interaction among authors, texts and readers, showing how traditional tales balance between mythological and nonmythological consciousness, between innovative and canonical art.

The diversity of fans’ practices may be seen as a key to possible explanation of why fairy tales exist in culture as a complex, constantly growing web, not as a limited number of selected final versions. Amateur authors demonstrate their interest in the mythopoetics of classic fairy tale plots. They are attracted by the old romantic myth that stands behind princess stories, participate in the creation of the romantic antimyth that is supported by the professional critics, and expect the appearance of new modern myths that might be generated by the new productions of Disney. New fairy tales appear, but this does not result in the disappearance of the old ones. Not only the interests towards the plots themselves, but also discussions and conflict around classic stories keep them topical for contemporary heterogeneous audiences.

Improvement of technical means for processing waste from logging operations for fuel chips in felling conditions
Authors: Fokin Sergey
Published: February 2020

Currently, wood waste in the form of a dissected crown on the ground and the root fraction of the tree's biomass in the ground remain in felling areas, becoming potentially dangerous combustible materials in the event of forest fires, as well as obstacles to reforestation activities, and possible foci of infections.
Shredding wood waste into wood chips will solve the problem of their disposal by using fuel chips as an additional source of heat energy. In the present work, the influence of design and operational parameters of milling machines with a modernized hydraulic system and equipped with active working bodies on the process of shredding wood waste is established. The annual economic effect from the introduction of the developed complex of wood waste shredding machines and economic indicators from the use of fuel chips are given.

Sports criminology
Authors: Alekseeva Anna
Published: February 2020

For the first time in Russian criminological science, a scientific justification of the private criminological theory of cognition and prevention of crime in the field of sports, designated in the author's interpretation as sports criminology, is proposed. This particular theory is based on the author's own developed theoretical and applied concept of criminological assessment of crimes and their determination, United by a common sphere of public relations, which is formed around the organization of large-scale state and public sports activities and direct participation in it, provided with appropriate ideological, legal, economic, financial, pedagogical, technical and, in part, proper criminological resources.
The publication is intended for teachers, postgraduates, adjuncts, students, cadets of law schools and faculties with criminal law specialization, practitioners of sports management and law enforcement agencies.
Financial Incentives and Professionals’ Work Tasks: The Moderating Effects of Jurisdictional Dominance and Prominence
Authors: Chown Jillian
Published: February 2020

This research addresses the important question of how organizations can use financial incentives to influence the work tasks of their professional workforce—a constituency that is notoriously difficult to manage because of their specialized knowledge, considerable autonomy, strong socialization, and powerful professional norms. In particular, I explore how a baseline incentive effect is moderated by two features of professionals’ tasks and jurisdictions: jurisdictional dominance (i.e., how much the profession controls the provision of the task relative to other professions) and jurisdictional prominence (i.e., how commonly provided the task is within a profession relative to other tasks). Using data on thousands of physician tasks from Ontario, Canada, and a difference-in-differences empirical design, I find that professionals’ incentive responses are smaller when a profession has higher jurisdictional dominance over a task, but are larger when the task has higher jurisdictional prominence within the profession. This research contributes to the literature on professions and professionals in multiple ways. First, I introduce the concepts of jurisdictional dominance and jurisdictional prominence, distinguishing them from each other and from existing conceptions of professional control. Second, this study shows that financial incentives can be an effective tool for influencing professionals, but highlights that their efficacy is shaped by a task’s jurisdictional dominance and jurisdictional prominence. Finally, I show that these new conceptions of jurisdictional control influence professionals’ behaviors in meaningful ways and should therefore be considered in future studies of professions.

Published: February 2020

The article provides an analysis of the literature on interactive cognitive strategies. The aim of the study is to examine the pedagogical potential of interactive cognitive strategies for the effective formation of a multilingual personality of a future teacher. The research used theoretical and empirical methods: analysis of theoretical sources, analysis and generalization of the experience of scientific and methodological developments, training of students of a pedagogical institution. The problem of developing scientific and methodological support for the use of interactive cognitive strategies for the effective formation of a multilingual personality of a future teacher is being updated. A generalization of the obtained results indicates that the use of interactive cognitive strategies positively affects the formation of the multilingual personality of the future teacher. The research was supported by within the framework of the project on research on priority directions of scientific activity of the universities-partners in networking (South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University and Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute) on the topic of “Linguodidactic foundations of the intercultural communicative competence formation of a future teacher”.

SOCIO-POLITICAL LANGUAGE USE AND YORÙBÁ PROTEST SONGS: A STYLISTIC APPROACH.
Authors: ÀKÀNMÚ Dayọ̀
Published: February 2020

Song is a universal phenomenon and significant aspect of Yorùbá literature usually constructed systematically using words that reflect either negative or positive linguistic connotation. Existing studies established their scope of usage in several areas of endeavors but have hardly addressed their negative implication for using them in socio-political scenario of Nigeria which sometimes seems to be counterproductive and having overbearing effect on peace and stability of the Nation. The paper adopts Marxist theory for its ability to explain reason for political and economic crisis in government and what the oppressed members of society must do to liberate themselves from such crisis. Eight protest songs were purposively selected from the Nigerian political scenario of the past for having sufficient usage of the Yorùbá protest songs imbued with curse, hate expressions, abuse, derision and ridicule/sarcasm. In order to strike a balance, four corrupt coinages of the Christian songs and the other four corrupt coinages of the Yorùbá traditional songs were eventually subjected to stylistic analysis. In all, politics, financial fraud and jubilation were expressed and contextualized in curse, ridicule/sarcasm, derision, hatred and abusive utterances all of which are capable of destabilizing peace and unity of the country. Yoruba protest songs in this paper are corrupt coinages of both Christian and Yorùbá traditional songs used to express socio-political issues in Nigeria and conveyed through curse, hate expressions, derision, sarcasm, abusive utterances and also reflect ingenuity-constrained stylistic choices.
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF VARIATION IN SPANISH DIMINUTIVES.
Authors: EDDINGTON David Ellingson
Published: February 2020

In an online survey, 656 Spanish speakers from 21 countries were asked to select between the long and short diminutive forms of 100 base words (e.g. novio > novito, noviecito). The influence of the base word, the base word’s frequency, and the country of origin, gender, age, and educational level of the speakers were assessed. The most salient finding is that words have different diminutive forms depending on the country the speaker is from. However, a great deal of variation exists within each country, and few participants prefer the same diminutive form for all base words with a similar structure. Moreover, the influence of age, gender, and educational level is also apparent for certain classes of words. Country-specific analyses of the data from Spain and Mexico were also performed which confirms the influence of social factors on diminutivization.
EL VOSEO EN MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA: UN RASGO DIALECTAL DISTINTIVO DE LA IDENTIDAD PAISA.
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ ACOSTA Diana
Published: February 2020

This study investigated the voseo in Medellin, Colombia to determine which factors contribute to its use and whether or not speakers consider this dialectal feature to be part of the paisa culture. Ten upper class speakers from Medellin provided information through questionnaires. Data show that the kind of relationship with interlocutors, their age, and the gender of the speakers are factors that influence the use of vos as a form of address. The analysis of the results shows that paisas, regardless of their age, see the voseo as part of their identity and as a linguistic phenomenon of membership to their community. This study constitutes the basis for future studies about this phenomenon and a point of reflection in the teaching field about the importance of including voseo in L2 Spanish classrooms.

François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-viewed
Authors: J. Cardullo Robert
Published: February 2020

Truffaut’s early protagonists, like many of those produced by the New Wave, were rebels or misfits who felt stifled by conventional social definitions. His early cinematic style was as anxious to rip chords as his characters were. Unlike Godard, Truffaut went on in his career to commit himself, not to continued experiment in film form or radical critique of visual imagery, but to formal themes like art and life, film and fiction, and art and education. This article reconsiders a film that embodies such themes, in addition to featuring characters who feel stifled by conventional social definitions: Jules and Jim.

A dynamic model of entrepreneurial ecosystems evolution
Authors: Kantis Hugo , Federico Juan
Published: February 2020

Recent contributions on Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EE) literature tend to highlight the need for a deeper theory-based discussion of the concept and a dynamic approach on the EE evolution. The objective of this article is to contribute to this on-going discussion by proposing a novel theoretical model to understand the origin and evolution of EE, paying special attention to the drivers that are relevant to explain the successive developments in the EE trajectory and the differences between developed and developing EE. We draw our model from the study of four different empirical settings: two well-known and developed EE (Silicon Valley and Israel), and two less developed and less studied EE (Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires).Our model is composed by two ontologically different levels of dimensions: (i) framework conditions (culture, STI platform, business structure, social conditions and social capital) and (ii) five dynamics or drivers (the entrepreneurial dynamic, the business dynamic, the investment dynamic, the institutional dynamic, and the government and policy dynamic). Evolution, in our model, is conceptualized as a self-reinforcing process by which EE are constructed and developed over time, resulting from the co-evolution and interactions of the five dynamics and the framework conditions. Consequently, each EE would follow its own trajectory, moulded by its initial conditions, the relative importance of the different dynamics, and the interaction process between dynamics and framework conditions.
Standing the test of time: External factors influencing family firm longevity in Germany and Spain during the twentieth century
Authors: Fernandez Moya Maria , Fernandez-Perez Paloma , Lubinski Christina
Published: February 2020

While most research on family business longevity focuses on how internal corporate governance issue impact resilience, the aim of this article is to foreground the relevance of external environmental factors, and to do so in an internationally comparative perspective. By historically comparing the largest family businesses in Germany and Spain in the twentieth century, we find that they differ significantly in age and ask how external factors help us better understand these variances. After analysing the institutional framework of the two countries during the second part of the 20th century, we explore the strategic responses developed in reaction to that framework by four of the largest family businesses in the two countries. With this, we strive to capture the interdependent nature of internal decision-making processes and external environmental changes, ultimately arguing for a more holistic understanding of family business resilience over time.

L'orientació acadèmica i professional té nombroses limitacions dins del sistema educatiu i, tot i ser un dret dels estudiants dins la legislació espanyola, són diverses les millores que caldria fer per poder garantir la seva eficàcia. En aquesta investigació es presenta una anàlisi de la relació que existeix entre la percepció de l'alumnat sobre l'orientació acadèmica i professional rebuda en els seus respectius centres educatius i la selecció del itinerari un cop finalitzats els seus estudis de batxillerat. Amb una mostra de 540 individus, els resultats permeten confirmar que sols el 38.3% dels alumnes entrevistats consideren útil l'orientació rebuda, mentre que la resta dels entrevistats o bé no han rebut orientació o bé tenen una percepció negativa de la mateixa. Independentment d'això, un gran percentatge dels alumnes decideix l'itinerari que desitjaria cursar al finalitzar els seus estudis de batxillerat, fet que suposa un problema al no comptar amb la correcta informació que els centres educatius haurien d'haver proporcionat.
Identitats, perspectives i drets als derroters de l’educació sexual. Una mirada des de l’Argentina contemporània.
Authors: Zemaitis Santiago
Published: February 2020

This article aims to review some historical and current pedagogical discourses produced in the field of sex education in Argentina, from the end of the 20th century until the beginning of the 21st. To do this, we will stop at some official discourses beginning in the 1980s, to analyze the standardized treatment of sexuality and hegemonic gender identities, in the letter of proposals and ministerial materials. We are also interested in showing the interventions of Catholic intellectual agents in the official curriculum, when sex education was first included in the national curriculum in various subjects in the framework of educational reforms in the middle in the 1990s. The article continues with the analysis of the current integral perspective in the approach to the education of sexuality (approach to which we ascribe) especially, after the approval of the historic Law of Integral Sexual Education (ESI) 26,150 in 2006, which it implied the transversal and compulsory inclusion of sex education in all the schools of the country, making it a fundamental right. The article ends with the proposal of some perspective passages that we believe are necessary in some ways to enhance an anti-normative sex education that enables and teaches ways to be freer.

Published: February 2020

This article aims to bring together various strands in analysis and research on the origins of volleyball as one of the youngest sports of the twentieth century. It reviews the historical, social, educational, political and religious factors that influenced and conditioned the context in which volleyball was first played; and it then considers how the continuous development of volleyball rules and the constant technological innovations in this sport have made volleyball a spectacle that obeys and favours the television corporations. In short, the article examines the origin of a particular sport from a historical point of view in order to understand the uses that have been made of it, first as a civilizing element and then as an instrument for evangelism.
La preocupació per la formació inicial dels mestres: una invariant pedagògica europea de l’era contemporània. Entre el passat i el futur.
Authors: Román Maestre Begoña , Garcia Farrero Jordi , Vilafranca Manguán Isabel
Published: February 2020

Undoubtedly, the initial education of teachers has been a constant concern of contemporary society since the end of the First World War, as evidenced in the constant emergence of new pedagogical thought, discourse and educational institutions that highlight the need for pedagogical renewal at the initial stages of teacher education. Throughout this period, good teacher education has remained key in the belief that school must transform society if democracy is to be safeguarded. At an international level, this has been defended by educational theorists of the calibre of Eduard Spranger and Georg Kerschensteiner; in Catalonia, it is seen in the work of Joan Bardina’s “Escola de Mestres” (1906–1910), the Catalan government’s “Escola Normal” (1931–1939) and the University of Barcelona’s ”Seminari de Pedagogia” (1930–1939). The article looks at the history of this concern, from its origins at the beginning of the last century to the present day, and concludes by proposing what the initial stages of teacher education will need in the future.
Percepción social de los maestros: análisis de la figura docente a través de Twitter
Authors: Colomo Magaña Ernesto , Aguilar Cuesta Ángel Ignacio
Published: February 2020

In our dynamic and protean sociocultural environment, teachers must tailor their roles and competences to society’s needs. To determine how teachers are currently valued by society, this study analyses data drawn from the social networking service Twitter, from the hashtag #DíaMun-dialdelDocente. The sample consisted of 1,441 tweets analysed in two phases. First, the tweets were classified according to the subject they discussed, and then they were also grouped under specific teacher archetypes. The results show that the most popular subject was some form of critique of the education system, while the most highly-valued archetype was the teacher with a sincere and personable manner. The article concludes that teachers receive positive social recognition and affirms that it is possible to incorporate the qualities and competencies that society values in the processes of initial and in-service teacher education.
La cara ètica del «bon» mestre: ethos docent, identitat professional i lideratge moral.

Published: February 2020

The question of how good teachers are made is particularly complex because ”good” may be defined in many different ways or in terms of very diverse variables. However, it seems clear that the defining features of a good teacher are also key elements in a community’s ”teaching ethos”. Based on this assumption, the article analyses the role of teachers from an ethical point of view, giving special attention to the links between teaching role and professional identity and moral leadership, which in turn are heavily influenced by attitudes and interpersonal relationships. This theoretical analysis substantiates and complements the emerging results of an empirical study with a sample of in-service teachers identified as ”good teachers” by their colleagues, thus providing an operational definition of good teaching.
Cuerpo, vida, subjetividad y verdad: parrhesía y bíos en el cinismo. Implicaciones para la educación y la educación corporal
Authors: Pich Santiago
Published: February 2020

This article addresses the problem of the conceptual bond between parrhesia and bios that is central to the last area of Michel Foucault's work, focusing on how the two notions are paired in Foucault's interpretation of cynicism. It examines the place of the body in the production of logos and displacement in the relationship between body and word, between bios philosophikos and bios kynikos, in order to frame questions about the implications of Foucauldian thought for our understanding of the education of the body and education in general.

(LGS) crystal. The EO modulator was
operated in a pulse-on mode driven by a 1/4 wave voltage of 2400 V,
which was the lowest voltage designed for LGS-based EO modulators at
2 µm, to the best of our knowledge. At a repetition rate of 200 Hz, a
maximum single-pulse energy of 3.15 mJ was obtained with a minimum
pulse duration of 17 ns, corresponding to a peak power as high as
185.3 kW.
Virtual Reality als Instrument zur Gewinnung von Nutzerfeedback zu Technologieszenarien am Beispiel urbaner Mobilität
Authors: Ruess Patrick , Wingartz Nathalie
Published: February 2020

In diesem Artikel wird eine Methode zur Gewinnung von Nutzerfeedback beschrieben, die eine Virtual-Reality-Applikation (VR) als Informationsträger für die Vermittlung der Befragungsinhalte einsetzt. Die Methode wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts „2049: Zeitreise Mobilität“ des Fraunhofer Instituts für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation (IAO) angewendet, um Nutzermeinungen und -emotionen im Hinblick auf Mobilitäts-Zukunftsszenarien und -technologien zu erheben. Der Beitrag legt das Vorgehen bei der Entwicklung, der Durchführung und der Auswertung der Methodik dar und diskutiert die zugrundeliegenden Ideen, die sich im vorgestellten Ansatz wiederfinden. Zudem zeigt der Abgleich mit einer Vergleichsgruppe, welche an einer identischen Befragung ohne Stimulus teilgenommen hat, wie sich das immersive Erlebnis auf die Teilnehmer und die Befragungsergebnisse auswirkt. Dieser Vergleich bestätigt, dass keine grundsätzliche Beeinflussung durch die VR-Experience auftritt, es in Teilen aber zu einer Verzerrung kommt. Die Analyse zeigt aber auch, dass einzelne Gestaltungsmerkmale des VR-Films einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf das Entscheidungsverhalten der Teilnehmer haben können. Die Nutzung von VR-Applikationen erweist sich allerdings gerade bei praxisbezogenen Fragestellungen als sehr wertvoll, da sie die Ansprache von Probanden erleichtert, Sichtbarkeit auf Veranstaltungen und Messen schafft sowie zu einem Austausch zwischen Probanden und Befragten anregt.

Primary adrenal insufficiency is manifested by a deficiency of adrenal cortex hormones and can lead to a life-threatening condition. Early diagnosis is key to patient survival. Auto-antibodies to one of the adrenal steroidogenesis enzymes, 21-hydroxylase, are an immunological marker of autoimmune adrenal insufficiency. On the one hand, the study of antibodies to 21-hydroxylase is a method that helps establish the etiology of the disease the autoimmune genesis of adrenal gland damage. On the other hand, the determination of autoantibodies to 21-hydroxylase is the only prognostic factor of the risk of adrenal insufficiency, which makes it possible to prevent the development of acute adrenal crisis.
The article provides a brief literature review on autoantibodies to 21-hydroxylase and the pathogenesis of autoimmune adrenal insufficiency, and a series of clinical cases that illustrates the significant role of autoantibodies to 21-hydroxylase in diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency.
Geschlechterverhältnisse in Prozessen der Digitalisierung industrieller Einfacharbeit
Authors: Kutzner Edelgard
Published: February 2020

Der Einzug digitaler Technologien in die Arbeitswelt wird derzeit breit diskutiert und ist auch ein Thema der soziologischen Arbeits- und Geschlechterforschung. An die Entwicklungen der Arbeit stellen sich aus einer Geschlechterperspektive etliche Fragen u.a. zu den Interventionsmöglichkeiten in den Bereichen der Arbeitsorganisation, Arbeitsteilung und Technik sowie zu den Chancen, aber auch Risiken für mehr Geschlechtergerechtigkeit. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit dem Verhältnis von Arbeit, Digitalisierung und Geschlecht anhand von empirischen Forschungsergebnissen aus dem Bereich der industriellen Einfacharbeit. Es handelt sich um einen Arbeitsbereich, der in der Vergangenheit selten im Zentrum der Geschlechterforschung stand, im Zuge der Debatten um Industrie 4.0 jedoch von großer Aktualität ist. Die Ergebnisse werden verallgemeinert und eingebunden in einen übergeordneten Diskurs um Interventionsmöglichkeiten und Geschlechterwissen.
Digitalisierung der Arbeit und Interessenvertretungen
Authors: Hoose Fabian , Haipeter Thomas , Ittermann Peter
Published: February 2020

Der Beitrag folgt den laufenden Debatten zur Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt, fragt jedoch nicht allein nach ihren arbeitsbezogenen Folgen, sondern stellt die Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien für die betriebliche Interessenvertretung in das Zentrum des Interesses. Denn trotz ihrer großen Bedeutung sind die Fragen des Umgangs der Interessenvertretungen der Arbeitnehmer mit den Herausforderungen und Chancen der Digitalisierung kaum erforscht. Mit digitalen Kommunikationsformen eröffnen sich für die Mitbestimmungsakteure sowohl neue Möglichkeiten wie auch Risiken betrieblicher Aushandlungsbedingungen. Im vorliegenden Text werden daher der Stellenwert und die Entwicklung digitaler Kommunikations- und Beteiligungsprozesse im Interessenvertretungshandeln von Erwerbstätigen diskutiert. Zunächst wird dabei auf die Herausforderungen eingegangen, vor die betriebliche Interessenvertretungen durch die Digitalisierung gestellt werden. Im Anschluss daran konzentriert sich die Betrachtung auf zwei Schwerpunkte des digitalen Wandels, die Industrie 4.0 und die Plattformökonomie. Zunächst wird das Augenmerk auf die Frage gelenkt, wie etablierte Betriebsräte und Gewerkschaften im verarbeitenden Gewerbe auf die Herausforderungen der Industrie 4.0 reagieren. Danach wird untersucht, welche neuen Interessenvertretungsformen digitaler Arbeit in der Plattformökonomie entstehen. Im Beitrag werden diese Veränderungen konzeptionell beleuchtet. Dabei wird auf hierzu vorliegende Forschung zurückgegriffen, zudem wird auf empirisch gewonnene Eindrücke aus der laufenden Forschungsarbeit der Autoren rekurriert. Abschließend werden offene Fragen festgehalten und entsprechende Forschungsperspektiven umrissen.
Two Conceptions of Second Nature
Authors: Bertram Georg W.
Published: February 2020

The concept of second nature promises to provide an explanation of how nature and reason can be reconciled. But the concept is laden with ambiguity. On the one hand, second nature is understood as that which binds together all cognitive activities. On the other hand, second nature is conceived of as a kind of nature that can be changed by cognitive activities. The paper tries to investigate this ambiguity by distinguishing a Kantian conception of second nature from a Hegelian conception. It argues that the idea of a transformation from a being of first nature into a being of second nature that stands at the heart of the Kantian conception is mistaken. The Hegelian conception demonstrates that the transformation in question takes place within second nature itself. Thus, the Hegelian conception allows us to understand the way in which second nature is not structurally isomorphic with first nature: It is a process of ongoing selftransformation that is not primarily determined by how the world is, but rather by commitments out of which human beings are bound to the open future.
