Standortnachteil Arbeitskräftemangel: Österreich braucht eine umfassende Fachkräfteoffensive
Authors: Bonin Holger
Published: October 2024

Shortages of skilled workers are now widespread on the Austrian labor market. This results in serious locational disadvantages such as rising labor costs and a lack of personnel to develop and make use of innovations. Austria should therefore launch a comprehensive skilled labor campaign soon. This should correct the framework conditions that currently hinder satisfactory labor market integration of women, older people and migrants, as well as improve employee mobility, since productivity reserves can be leveraged through better job matches.

Authors: Harrington Kelly , Eberman Lindsey , Rivera Matthew , Pittman J'nai , Broughton Shelby , Hash Regina
Published: October 2024

Objective: Compare patient satisfaction between telemedicine and in-office visits and between providers post-operatively in an orthopedics setting with athletic trainers and physicians. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: Patients from a Sports Medicine Clinic that received an orthopedic surgical intervention from March 2020-September 2021, and engaged in telemedicine, or an in-office visit post-operatively. Provider type included full-time athletic trainers, resident athletic trainers, physician (MD) resident/fellows, and float athletic trainers. Press-Ganey Patient Experience Surveys were collected at the time of follow up visit, with focus on items, “likelihood to recommend” and “how well staff worked together.” Results: There was a total of 255 patients (age=50±17 years). Providers included the attending physician with full-time athletic trainers (n=134, 52.3%), resident athletic trainers (n=77, 30.1%), MD residents/fellows (n=38, 14.8%), or float athletic trainers (n=6, 2.3%). No significant difference was found with patient satisfaction between in-office (n=175, 68.4%), or telemedicine visits (n=80, 31.3%), (p>.44). Patients were more satisfied with care provided by the full-time athletic trainers compared to MD residents/fellows (p.18). Conclusions: This study demonstrates no significant differences with patient satisfaction between in-office or telemedicine visits. Patients seeing full-time athletic trainers had the highest patient satisfaction, demonstrating the capability of athletic trainers to effectively use telemedicine in a physician practice.
Bidirectional Nature of Work Family Conflict: Family Interfering with Work Conflict Among Athletic Trainers in the Collegiate Setting
Authors: Singe Stephanie , Adaspour Milana , Cairns Alexandrya , Pitney William
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Work-family conflict is bidirectional, yet research has largely only investigated the extent to which work interferes with family conflict (WIFC) and not whether family interferes with work conflict (FIWC). Objective: Investigate FIWC among collegiate athletic trainers. Specifically, we were focused on relationships between gender, marital status, employment status of the athletic trainer’s spouse, and number of children. Methods: Data were collected via a cross-sectional, online survey (Qualtrics). Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographic information; Mann Whitney U analyses were utilized to discover differences between gender, marital status, employment status of spouse, and number of children. Results: 984 (605 women, 370 men, 9 other) collegiate athletic trainers. Cronbach’s alpha resulted in acceptable reliability of the WIFC (.92), the FIWC (.86), and the total WFC scale (.84). Women reported significantly higher FIWC scores than men (U=93539.5, pConclusions: Women athletic trainers reported higher levels of FIWC than men. We found both single and married with children athletic trainers report high levels of FIWC, suggesting both groups experience the challenges of family demands. Interestingly, children did not impact experiences of FIWC.
Relationship Between Posterior Tibial Artery Blood Flow And Lower Leg Flexibility Among Collegiate Runners
Authors: Williams Jeffrey , Battles Megan , Bowden Rachel , Greene Cameron , Thapaliya Arbin , Stanek Justin
Published: October 2024

Purpose: Understanding relationships between blood flow and muscle inflexibility in the lower leg can support improved healthcare competency. Sports medicine practitioners might use the reference ranges and knowledge of relationships among these variables to support effective health screenings among their competitive runners. These variables have been linked in other areas of the body where inflexibility in the pectoralis minor and scalene muscles have been associated with diminished blood flow to the upper limb. No studies, however, have examined the relationship between vascular and mobility characteristics in the lower legs of runners. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between blood flow in the posterior tibial artery and ankle range of motion (ROM) among competitive runners. Methods: Blood flow in the posterior tibial artery and ankle ROM were measured bilaterally on twenty-five, asymptomatic collegiate track athletes (15 males, 10 females, age = 20.0±1.2 years, height = 171.5±10.2 cm, mass = 66.7±13.7 kg) using diagnostic ultrasound and standard goniometry, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between blood flow in the posterior tibial artery and ROM of the ankle joint. Results: Findings revealed no significant relationship between blood flow in the dominant leg’s posterior tibial artery and dorsiflexion (r=.14, P=.52, CI95% = -0.27 – 0.51) or plantarflexion (r=-.32, P=.12, CI95% = -0.63 – 0.09) and no significant relationship between blood flow in the non-dominant leg’s posterior tibial artery and dorsiflexion (r=-.02, P=.93; CI95% = -0.41 – 0.38) or plantarflexion (r=-.02, P=.92; CI95% = -0.41 – 0.38). Conclusion: While muscle inflexibility is associated with compromised blood flow in other body regions, findings of this study demonstrated no relationship between the variables within the lower legs of a sample of competitive runners. Sports medicine practitioners should consider these findings in their efforts to predict, prevent, and manage potential vascular and musculoskeletal adaptations among clients/patients who are competitive runners.
Observers Have Similar Improvements in Student Learning Outcomes as Participants in Athletic Training Simulation Education: A Pilot Study
Authors: Mattocks Alma , Mahoney Sara , Vogelpohl Rachele , Hawkins Kim
Published: October 2024

Introduction: The use of standardized patient (SP) encounters in athletic training education programs have become more common; however, due to time and space constraints, it is possible that not all athletic training students will be able to participate and some must be observers. The objective of this study was to determine if observers experience similar improvements in student learning outcomes as participants for SP encounters. Methods: A pretest/posttest, non-randomized controlled trial was utilized. Nine athletic training students volunteered to participate in the research study. All participants completed a pretest survey including a knowledge assessment and confidence rating scale, followed by either a telehealth or in-person SP encounter of a lower extremity evaluation, and finished with a posttest survey. Results: Two separate repeated measures ANOVAs of the composite knowledge scores and confidence rating scale found significant differences between the pretest and posttest respectively (F = 14.117, p = 0.007, = 0.669; F = 88.439, p < 0.001, = 0.927), with no significant difference between the participant or observer roles for either knowledge assessment (F = 0.213, p = 0.658, = 0.030) or confidence rating scale (F = 2.669, p = 0.146, = 0.276). Conclusion: Athletic training students demonstrated similar increases in knowledge and confidence as a result of telehealth and in-person SP encounters regardless of their role as an observer or participant. Athletic training educators should consider implementing SP encounters into their educational curriculums even if not all students are be able to be participants.

Land Property, Land Destruction: Ecogothic vs. Capitalism in Bram Stoker’s The Snake Pass
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Correoso Rodenas José Manuel
Published: October 2024

In 1890, the future author of Dracula, Bram Stoker, published one of the most undervalued, yet innovative and interesting novels among his literary productions: The Snake’s Pass. Beyond the narration of the love story between Arthur and Norah, the novel depicts a Western Ireland scenario in which the chrematistic aims of the characters coalesce with the destruction of the landscape and, in consequence, the destruction of the environment, for a treasure is said to be hidden in the bog. Thus, the conflict coming of the extemporaneous ownership of the land (Arthur is English) leads to a questioning of how the ambition based on capitalistic-industrialist impulses (the treasure-hunt is rational and machine-ridden) means the destruction of the environment and the perversion of the community that had traditionally been attached to that part of the country. The goal of this article is to explore how Stoker ciphered all these elements, creating an original literary product that announces some of the key conflicts in the British Isles (land property) when seen through the lens of modern criticism.
Gothic Nature in Fantasy Fiction: The White Walkers as Dreadful Agents of Nature in Game of Thrones
Authors:   University of Cologne (Alemania), Walder Aylin
Published: October 2024

By applying Elizabeth Parker’s seven theses (2020) to Game of Thrones as the keys to identifying Gothicised spaces, I assert that the icy and eerie environment north of the Wall manifests as Gothic Nature insofar as it fulfills all seven ways in which nature can become a Gothic threat: the northern space represents a hostile environment, associated with a postcolonial past, and connected to the human unconscious. The second part focuses on the creation of the White Walkers as Nature’s agents and their portrayal as dreadful entanglements that alter (non)human life. Introducing the notion of transcorporeality, the dualism human/nonhuman is deconstructed –since the White Walkers aren’t naturally born but created out of sacrificed human babies. The White Walkers and their army become one singular monstrous hyperobject that foregrounds how humanity is “at the mercy of larger forces of nature” (Smith and Hughes 2013, 6). The story reflects our responsibility for climate change. Following Gothic tradition, the dark ecology (Morton 2016) in the saga blurs “the lines between the terror sublime and the the dark ecology (Morton 2016) in the saga blurs “the lines between the terror sublime and the the White Walkers are established as mirrors for our anxieties about the future of our planet.
Tears in Rain: An Ecogothic Hardboiled Tribute to Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Authors:   Universidad Católica de Valencia (España), Ramón García Emilio
Published: October 2024

Tears in Rain is set in Madrid in 2109, a large city in a heavily polluted dystopic world which has seen several wars, alien contacts, genetic engineering, teletransportation, pollution and dramatic climate changes due to ecophobia and a limitless appetite for resource exploitation. It is a world in which the management, privatization and monopolization of vital resources by large multinationals have caused scarcity; exacerbating the environmental injustice towards those who contribute least to it. Mixing the SF with the Postmodern EcoGothic and the hard-boiled model, this fictional society is immersed in a civilizational crisis that affects our own conception as subjects. This situation of environmental injustice translates into social tensions and the marginalization of those humans, replicants and aliens who are forced to live in the most degraded areas. These underprivileged marginalized beings serve to renegotiate human identity, but also to ignite fanatical fundamentalisms that define their identity in aggressive opposition to the ‘other’. The goal of this article is to explore fear, the dissolution of the self, the construction of peoples as monstruous others, the preoccupation of bodies which are modified and nature as a space of crisis as markers of Postmodern EcoGothic in Rosa Montero’s novel.
“None of Them Knows About Floods or Anything About the Rivers:” Monstrous Kinships and Agency in Michael McDowell’s The Flood and The Levee
Authors:   University of Frankfurt ( Alemania), Calio Gianluca
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the disruption of the human/non-human binary in Michael McDowell’s Blackwater series, focusing on how the character of Elinor Dammert challenges traditional distinctions between humans and environment. Set in the Southern Gothic landscape of Lower Alabama, the analysis scrutinizes Elinor’s relationship with the region’s fluvial environment, emphasizing her role as a complex, shape-shifting gothic figure. Emerging mysteriously from the river after a flood, Elinor’s actions reflect a deep connection with both the human and non-human worlds, as she intervenes against anthropogenic alterations, particularly deforestation and proposed hydrogeological projects. By highlighting Elinor’s efforts to disrupt destructive human practices, the paper argues that her character can be seen as attempting to create kinship between humans and the landscape of Perdido, embodying an ecoGothic figure that transcends moral binaries. Elinor’s interventions will therefore reveal an alternative form of ecological agency that emphasizes kin-making rather than domination or revenge. portray both the wonders and horrors of nautical landscapes, Deep Blue Sea (1999) and The
From Ibsen to Ray: Transcultural Adaptation and Film Authorship in Ganashatru (An Enemy of the People, 1989)
Authors:   Indian Institute of Technology Indore, (India), Sundar Pal Shyam , Ghoshal Ananya ,   Indian Institute of Technology Indore, (India)
Published: October 2024

Satyajit Ray’s Ganashatru (An Enemy of the People 1989) marks the first part of the final trilogy, with the subsequent two parts being Shakha Prashaka (Branches of the Tree 1990), and Agantuk (The Stranger 1991). Ray’s last three films are notable for their strong use of language against the prevailing state of corruption and decadence in society. Ganashatru shows how Dr. Ashoke Gupta, a medical practitioner in Chandipur, an imaginary town in West Bengal, fights against the town’s corrupt officials to decontaminate the temple’s holy water, spreading jaundice and other water-borne diseases. Enriching the oeuvre of Ray’s filmic adaptations, Ganashatru is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s play An Enemy of the People (1882). Since the source text is adapted from another culture, the paper identifies Ganashatru as a “transcultural adaptation,” borrowing the term from Linda Hutcheon. A theoretical analysis of film authorship is presented in this paper. Ray’s three critically important aspects of film author-ship are explored next –his inclination to adapt classic texts, his casting of a familiar set of actors, and the establishing of his protagonist’s resistance to corruption.

Среди моральных качеств нежелательными для командных должностей считаются зависть, кибер-зависимость, лень и склонность к суицидам.

The article is devoted to improving the system of professional selection for command positions in law enforcement agencies. Using the example of employees of law enforcement agencies, including military personnel (n = 447), a basic personal profile was built, reflecting the degree of development of abilities and moral qualities for further assessment of the candidate’s compliance with a command position. The prospects of vibraimage technology for solving the tasks of providing personnel to law enforcement agencies based on the results of rapid testing are shown. As a result of the study, the main components of the personal profile of a person recommended for filling command positions were identified, and the mathematical model for assessing compliance with this profile was proposed. Candidates for command positions should have developed interpersonal, creative, and verbal-linguistic types of multiple intelligences (according to H. Gardner). Among the moral qualities undesirable for command positions are envy, cyber addiction, laziness and suicidal tendencies.

В статье рассматривается применение вертикальных электрических зондирований, сей- сморазведки методом преломленных волн и микросейсмических зондирований при инженерно-геоло- гических изысканиях под строительство. На практических примерах демонстрируются возможности отдельных геофизических методов и их комплексного использования. Отмечается хорошая сходимость границ и горизонтов, выделяемых по физическим свойствам, и результатам бурения. Приведенные примеры работ показывают, что на терригенных горизонтально-слоистых разрезах применение только одного метода геофизических исследований не всегда дает возможность провести детальное литоло- гическое расчленение дисперсных грунтов. Более достоверные результаты можно получить используя комплексирование двух-трех методов геофизики.

The article discusses the use of vertical electrical sounding, seismic exploration by the method of refracted waves and microseismic sounding in engineering and geological surveys for construction. Practical examples demonstrate the possibilities of individual geophysical methods and their integrated use. There is a good convergence of boundaries and horizons, distinguished by physical properties, and drilling results. The given examples of work show that in terrigenous horizontally layered sections, the use of only one method of geophysical research does not always make it possible to carry out a detailed lithological dissection of dispersed soils. More reliable results can be obtained using the combination of two or three methods of geophysics.

Published: October 2024

Utilizing ecological engineering to manage pests by enhancing the biological control function of natural predators through the selection of high-efficiency bank plants and the establishment of bank plant systems within agricultural ecosystems is an optimal strategy. While bank plant systems have found widespread use in greenhouse crop cultivation, their application in rice fields remains limited. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Leersia sayanuka as a bank plant for controlling planthoppers and to explore the potential of sesame as a complementary plant to enhance the effectiveness of the bank plant system through field trials. The findings revealed that planting a strip of L. sayanuka, at least 50 cm wide and extending over 1 m in length, had a notable impact on planthopper control in paddy fields. Moreover, the incorporation of Sesamum indicum, a nectar plant, into the bank plant system consisting of L. sayanuka, Nilaparvata muiri, and Anagrus nilaparvatae, led to a significant increase in the population of Anagrus spp. in rice fields. This increase was accompanied by a rise in the egg parasitism rate targeting rice planthoppers, resulting in a marked improvement in overall rice planthopper control in paddy fields. Thus, the combined system demonstrated efficiency as an effective bank plant system for managing rice planthoppers.

The present research aims to overcome the current limitations in utilizing extracellular vesicles circulating in mammalian biological fluids for clinical use. The human blood plasma vesicles contain valuable information regarding the health of an organism. The main challenges lie in isolating, concentrating, and preserving these bio-objects for further analysis. Our work focuses on the development of a method using a two-phase polymer system composed of dextran and polyethylene glycol. This system allows for the extraction of a fraction enriched in extracellular nano-sized vesicles from blood plasma. The study of polymers behavior and their phase separation under different conditions were performed. The impact of temperature, pH, molecular weight, and concentration of both polymers in human plasma on the extraction of nano-sized vesicles was investigated. Additionally, the interaction mechanism between the polymers of two-phase system and plasma components was studied by employing the model mixtures. The results of this study have revealed that polyethylene glycol plays a vital role in binding plasma proteins during the separation process within two-phase system, when both polymers are innately unreactive towards the nano-sized vesicles. The second part of the work involved proving that the amount of extracellular nanovesicles released from one cubic centimeter of plasma is sufficient for biomedical analysis. To accomplish this, a specialized biosensor based on gold nanoparticles modified with DNA-aptamers was developed. The biosensor functioned by leveraging the competing properties of DNA-aptamers which could both hinder the enzymatic activity of the gold nanoparticles and bind to specific markers on the surface of nanovesicles isolated from human plasma. The proposed biosensor has been tested as the analytical system for diagnosing and monitoring of Hodgkin lymphoma, and has shown promising results compared to traditional diagnostic methods for this disease.

Various theoretical approaches, including big data and high-throughput screening techniques, have been explored in developing new materials due to their significant potential time-saving advantages. However, it remains a significant challenge to experimentally realize new materials that are predicted. In this study, we propose a novel materials design strategy that utilizes machine-learning (ML) techniques to predict new porous materials that show promise for hydrogen storage and are likely to be feasible to synthesize. By leveraging ML techniques and metal−organic framework (MOF) databases, we are able to predict the synthesizability of MOF structures. This is evidenced by the successful synthesis of a new vanadium-based MOF that exhibits excellent performance for cryogenic H2 storage. Notably, the total gravimetric and volumetric H2 uptakes are as high as 9.0 wt % and 50.0 g/L at 77 K and 150 bar. This ML-assisted materials design offers an efficient and promising approach for developing hydrogen storage materials.
Prediction of Hydration energies of Adsorbates at Pt(111) and Liquid Water Interfaces using Machine Learning
Authors: Shi Jiexin , Getman Rachel
Published: October 2024

Aqueous-phase heterogeneous catalysis has many applications, including biomass reforming, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and electrocatalysis. Developing accurate models for these systems is essential for gaining mechanistic understanding and making predictions of activity and selectivity under reaction conditions. However, molecular modeling of solid-liquid interfaces is computationally demanding. To address this, we carried out machine learning analysis on an existing dataset comprising energies and free energies of solvation for 90 adsorbates on a Pt(111) surface. These adsorbates include intermediates from the decomposition of methane, methanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol. We investigated the structure-property relationship by combining molecular descriptors with machine learning models. Eight machine learning approaches were compared. In general, machine learning models outperform molecular dynamics for computing the same properties and achieve RMSE < 0.1 eV for predicting the energies and free energies of solvation, which is within the standard error within the original dataset. R2 for energies of solvation are in general above our threshold value of 0.8 but only 0.72 for free energies of solvation. To achieve better regression for free energies of solvation, the dataset should be expanded. However, our machine learning model still outperforms molecular dynamics for predicting free energies of solvation. Feature importance analysis shows that while hydrogen bonds between water and the adsorbates contribute most strongly to machine learning model performance, a combination of different types of features is important to achieve strong predictive performance.
