Authors: Abdollahi Dehkordi Amir Mohammad , Lagunes-Carrasco Jose Omar
Published: February 2024

The current study investigates the critical and often overlooked issue of mental health among sports coaches, with a specific focus on depression and its psychological interventions. Coaches, known for their pivotal role in guiding athletes, face unique stressors and challenges that predispose them to mental health issues, notably depression. This paper comprehensively examines the effectiveness of various psychological interventions aimed at combating depression in this specific demographic. Through a meticulous selection of studies, we analyze interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, peer support networks, and other therapeutic strategies. The review not only highlights the efficacy of these interventions but also compares their applicability and impact within the coaching context. By identifying gaps in the current literature and practice, the article underscores the urgent need for tailored mental health support for coaches. The insights gained from this review are intended to inform future research directions, contribute to the development of targeted mental health programs, and ultimately foster a healthier, more supportive environment in the sports coaching community. This article serves as a call to action, emphasizing the crucial role of mental health care in sustaining the well-being and performance of coaches, who are instrumental in the athletic and personal development of athletes.
Association and New Therapy Perspectives in Post-Stroke Aphasia with Hand Motor Dysfunction
Authors: Shuo Xu
Published: February 2024

Post-stroke aphasia and hand movement dysfunction are common and disabling conditions. Observations indicate that most patients with post-stroke aphasia also suffer from hand movement dysfunction. Research in human evolution, behavior, and neuroscience has revealed a strong connection between language function and hand-motor function, with the latter playing a critical role in language use. Consequently, there is an urgent need for the development of new, comprehensive, and efficient rehabilitation methods for post-stroke aphasia that is accompanied by hand dysfunction. One promising approach involves investigating the shared neural networks between language and hand function as a foundation for novel treatment methods. This article aims to review the current state of clinical research on comprehensive treatments for stroke-induced aphasia and hand dysfunction, as well as to explore their underlying neural mechanisms. The results of this study may provide a valuable reference for the advancement of treatment technologies that effectively address both dysfunctions and enhance clinical outcomes.

Enterprise strategy and competitive advantage
Authors: Hu Meng
Published: February 2024

This paper delves into the intricate relationship between corporate strategy and competitive advantage. It elucidates the foundational theories of both concepts, explores the various influences shaping corporate strategies, and investigates the sources and drivers of sustained competitive advantage. Additionally, the study examines the issues prevalent in strategic management and underscores the importance of aligning corporate culture with strategy to foster a competitive edge. Through an analytical approach, the paper categorizes corporate strategy schools of thought by their perspective on competitive advantage and asserts that the core subject of corporate strategy theory is the attainment and maintenance of competitive advantage. The findings reveal that challenges in strategy formulation and execution, along with a disregard for the dynamic business context, often result in strategic shortcomings. The construction of a corporate culture that is deeply integrated with strategy is proposed as a key driver for continuous competitive advantage.

Published: February 2024

Fosforlu gübre uygulamasının mikroorganizma aktivitesini etkilediği yapılan bazı araştırma sonuçlarında ifade edilmiştir. Bu araştırmada 2019-2020 yıllarında iki yıl süre ile Eskişehir koşullarında fasulye bitkisine farklı fosfor dozları, Mikoriza mantarı ve Rhizobia aşılaması yapılarak verim ve önemli verim ögeleri ile morfolojik ve bazı fizyolojik özelliklere etkisi incelenmiştir. Denemeler tesadüf blokları deneme deseninde faktöriyel düzenlemeye göre üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Çalışmada dört farklı fosfor dozu [0 (kontrol), 3, 6 ve 9 kg/da] ile kontrol, Rhizobia ve Mikoriza uygulamaları denenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; fosforun verim ve kaliteyi etkileyen temel besin elementlerinden birisi olması sebebiyle artan fosfor dozları bitkide bakla sayısı, bitkide tane sayısı, bitkide tane verimi, biyolojik verim ve tane verimini olumlu yönde etkilemiştir. En yüksek ilk bakla yüksekliği kontrol parsellerinde gözlemlenirken, en yüksek klorofil içeriği ve yaprak alan indeksi 3 kg/da P2O5 uygulanan parsellerden elde edilmiştir. Rhizobia ve Mikoriza uygulamaları bakımından ise en yüksek biyolojik verim, tane verimi, ilk bakla yüksekliği ve yaprak alan indeksi kontrol parsellerinde belirlenmiştir. Bitkide tane verimi ise en yüksek Rhizobia uygulaması yapılan parsellerden elde edilmiştir. Toprak canlıları üzerinde çevre koşullarının etkisi çok fazla olmaktadır. Beklenenden farklı olarak Rhizobia ve Mikoriza’ların tane verimine etkisinin olmaması iklim ve toprak şartlarından kaynaklanmış olabilir. Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlara göre bölgemizde fosfor yönünden yeterli topraklarda 3 kg da-1 P2O5 uygulaması yeterli olacaktır.
La Littérature jeunesse sous influences
Authors: Parmentier Stéphanie
Published: February 2024

Cet article s’intéresse aux nouvelles formes et pratiques littéraires jeunesse qui se répandent sur le Web. Dans un contexte où « des [jeunes] voix anonymes » cherchent à construire un monde littéraire éloigné des canons traditionnels, une étude de la plateforme Webtoon France, appartenant au groupe Naver Corporation, qui rencontre un succès inattendu auprès des jeunes lecteurs avec des BD numériques, a été réalisée. À partir d’une analyse sémiologique de cet espace immatériel, cette étude tente de comprendre comment Webtoon France influence la production des créateurs et oriente la lecture des jeunes, pourtant en déclin depuis plusieurs années. Il s’agit également de voir comment l’institution scolaire peut sensibiliser les adolescents à cette « culture participative » diffusée sur le Web qu’ils affectionnent tout particulièrement.
Analyse de productions d’élèves : le cas d’un cabinet de curiosités en classe d’art au secondaire
Authors: Labrie Marie-Pierre , Richard Moniques , Lacelle Nathalie , Bernard Amélie
Published: February 2024

Le projet pédagogique présenté dans cet article découle du constat fait par une enseignante d’art sur le manque d’authenticité dans les créations produites par ses élèves du secondaire, lorsque ces productions empruntent directement à la culture numérique. Pour remédier à ce problème, le projet vise à renforcer les compétences numériques et multimodales des élèves et de l’enseignante à partir d’un cabinet de curiosités. Il s’inscrit dans une recherche-action (MultiNuméric – MNC – / FQRSC 2020-2024) qui recourt à la démarche de cocréation pédagogique et dont les données sont présentées avec la méthode « 4P » (portrait, processus, projet, production). Il s’appuie sur les concepts de curiosité, d’intention, d’appropriation et de remix. Pour favoriser une certaine authenticité dans la création artistique, les résultats démontrent l’importance de susciter la curiosité des élèves à partir de leurs intérêts, de les amener à développer leur intention artistique, de s’approprier des contenus de façon éthique et de les remixer de manière créative tout en documentant leur processus.

Activation of the P2RX7/IL-18 pathway in immune cells attenuates lung fibrosis
Authors: Janho dit Hreich Serena , Juhel Thierry , Leroy Sylvie , Ghinet Alina , Brau Frederic , Hofman Veronique , Hofman Paul , Vouret-Craviari Valerie
Published: February 2024

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an aggressive interstitial lung disease associated with progressive and irreversible deterioration of respiratory functions that lacks curative therapies. Despite IPF being associated with a dysregulated immune response, current antifibrotics aim only at limiting fibroproliferation. Transcriptomic analyses show that the P2RX7/IL18/IFNG axis is downregulated in IPF patients and that P2RX7 has immunoregulatory functions. Using our positive modulator of P2RX7, we show that activation of the P2RX7/IL-18 axis in immune cells limits lung fibrosis progression in a mouse model by favoring an antifibrotic immune environment, with notably an enhanced IL-18-dependent IFN-γ production by lung T cells leading to a decreased production of IL-17 and TGFβ. Overall, we show the ability of the immune system to limit lung fibrosis progression by targeting the immunomodulator P2RX7. Hence, treatment with a small activator of P2RX7 may represent a promising strategy to help patients with lung fibrosis.

regulatory T cells (Treg) have been implicated in pain modulation in various inflammatory conditions. However, the mechanisms by which Treg hamper pain are still unclear. From a meta-analysis of 11 available transcriptomes, we show that the proenkephalin gene (
Penk)
which encodes the precursor of analgesic opioid peptides, is among the top 10 genes enriched in murine Treg relative to conventional T cells (Tconv). We then show that
Penk
expression in Treg is under the control of TNFR signaling and the transcription factor BATF. Using mice in which
Penk
mRNA expression can be tracked with a fluorescent reporter, we also show that
Penk
expression is restricted to Treg and activated Tconv in non-inflammatory conditions in all examined organs and tissues. Furthermore, inducible ablation of
Penk
in Treg leads to heat hyperalgesia for both male and female mice. Overall, our results indicate that TNFR signaling and BATF regulation of
Penk
in Treg might play a key role at modulating basal somatic sensitivity in mice.
Dibujo y migración: apuntes para una historia del dibujo en Chile
Authors: Villegas Ignacio
Published: February 2024

Fundamentado en la idea de que una migración se efectúa en concreto sobre la base de las nociones de desplazamiento y acomodo, el artículo plantea que el dibujo en Chile fue desarrollado desde el siglo XVIII mediante viajeros y naturalistas extranjeros, de paso o establecidos en el país. Por otra parte, se desarrolló de la mano de prácticas y disciplinas no necesariamente asociadas a las Bellas Artes. De esta forma, ingleses, italianos, alemanes y españoles, científicos, trazadores, alarifes, artesanos y políticos fueron mayoritariamente quienes desarrollaron el dibujo en nuestro país. Este asunto se revierte hacia la primera mitad del siglo XX cuando el desarrollo del dibujo en la academia se da justamente de la mano de chilenos que recogen la tradición académica de Europa para desarrollar aquí un “dibujo extranjero”. Pero finalmente -y una vez más- a fines del siglo XX, los migrantes son quienes dejan establecido el desarrollo del dibujo en Chile: Balmes, Carreño, Bru.
Developments and bottlenecks in the construction of sociotechnical networks: a study in the brazilian frog supply chain
Authors: Cribb André Yves , Cribb Sandra Lucia de Souza Pinto
Published: February 2024

Since its implementation in 1935, the Brazilian frog supply chain has operated with a low availability of knowledge and information essential for its consolidation and expansion. This problem has had negative repercussions on the productive components of the supply chain and, in this sense, has contributed to the maintenance of the imbalance between supply and demand for frog products and derivatives. One solution created and adopted by supply chain actors was the construction of a socio-technical network. This article explores the developments and bottlenecks observed throughout the network construction process, using a single case study design in the Brazilian frog supply chain as well as drawing on the participatory research method and focusing on the dynamics of interactions between the various actors involved. It is argued that the socio-technical network is built through the approximation, motivation and training of its members, but that its performance faces limitations inherent to its composition.

Authors: Halberstadt Ismael Alan , Hahn Ivanete Schneider , Scherer Flavia Luciane
Published: February 2024

Este artigo foca em analisar as principais decisões políticas que resultaram em mudanças institucionais e seus efeitos no processo de internacionalização da indústria calçadista brasileira. Foi realizada uma pesquisa documental longitudinal, utilizando como fontes bases governamentais (IBGE e MDIC), entidades representativas da indústria, Comex Stat - MDIC, UNCTAD, site da Abicalçados, entre outros. O período analisado abrange os últimos 30 anos (1988-2018). Os principais achados são: (1) as decisões do governo federal, como a abertura do mercado brasileiro a produtos estrangeiros/redução das taxas de importação, a implementação do Plano Real, políticas antidumping, isenções fiscais na folha de pagamento e a Reforma Trabalhista Brasileira, impactam na internacionalização da indústria calçadista; (2) a competição interna gerada pelas ações dos governos estaduais mostra-se capaz de impactar a localização dos centros de produção e o deslocamento dos principais agentes exportadores de calçados. Os gestores devem avaliar o ambiente político (em nível estadual e nacional) antes da realocação de plantas industriais, considerando que incentivos fiscais e oportunidades de mão de obra barata podem beneficiar a competição da indústria na busca por mercados internacionais. Este trabalho contribui para a compreensão do impacto de fatores críticos relacionados à trajetória do mercado até os anos 1990 (Fleury e Fleury, 2011).

Produção de biodiesel e matérias primas da agricultura familiar no Centro-Oeste
Authors: Heck Claudia Regina , Carrara Aniela Fagundes
Published: February 2024

O Programa Nacional de Produção e do Uso do Biodiesel, de 2004, representou um importante estímulo à produção e ao consumo de biodiesel no Brasil, tendo como um de seus instrumentos centrais a criação do Selo de Combustível Social. O propósito era estreitar a relação entre as indústrias e os agricultores familiares e cooperativas, promovendo a inclusão social e regional destes, bem como a diversificação da oferta de matérias primas. Apesar disso, a soja tornou-se a principal oleaginosa utilizada na produção e o Centro-Oeste, a maior região produtora. O objetivo do artigo é identificar a existência de relação espacial entre a localização industrial nas microrregiões do Centro-Oeste e a produção familiar das principais oleaginosas utilizadas na produção de biodiesel (a saber, a soja e o milho). A metodologia empregada foi a Análise Exploratória de Dados Espaciais, através de uso de software estatístico. Os resultados mostram que houve uma redução do número de famílias e cooperativas fornecedoras de matérias primas, ao mesmo tempo em que a região elevou a sua produção. Espacialmente, as interações globais se mostraram, de forma geral, negativas e significativas, demonstrando que regiões produtoras de biodiesel e de matérias primas são circundadas por outras de baixa produção. A mudança no padrão espacial para o último ano analisado indica que as relações espaciais na cadeia produtiva estão em construção.

Published: February 2024

A vacuum drum based water pumping system (VDBWPS) is a cost effective system for lifting and carrying water from a nearby flowing canal/nallah as well as from standing water of farm pond/open well. The main component of the developed system includes of a mild steel (MS) drum, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, jointer, elbow joint, T-joint, L-joint, regulator valve, and foot valve. In this system water can be filled manually or via other devices, such as a solar pump or a treadle pump. The drum's capacity is nearly 80% filled, and the remaining 20% is kept empty. A continuous supply is created by closing both air release valves and opening the discharge valve. More is the vacuum, better will be the pumping. The testing of vacuum drum based water pumping system was evaluated at different suction lift and carrying horizontal distances, both affecting the discharge. The result show that the water pumping system gave a discharge 2.22 to 2.40 litre per minute (lpm) at a constant suction lift of 0.92 meter (m) and varying distances 0 to 12 m. it was also found that the discharge increase with the distance having peak discharge at 6 m i.e. 3.75 lpm and afterwards it decreases gradually as the carrying length increases. The vacuum drum based water pumping system can give a discharge of 5400 litre per day (lpd) at 0.92 m of suction lift and carrying horizontal distance of 6 m. The cost of operation of vacuum drum based water pumping system was 352.41 ₹/day. It has always been a demand that the "technology should be technically feasible, economically viable and socially acceptable".

Bu çalışmada, Tanzimat döneminin önde gelen devlet adamı ve diplomatlarından Mehmed Sadık Rıfat Paşa’nın Viyana elçiliği ve İtalya seyahati Osmanlı ve İngiliz arşiv belgelerine göre analiz edilmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Sadık Rıfat Paşa, Ahmed Fethi Paşa’nın yerine 1837 yılı sonunda Viyana elçisi olarak tayin edilmiştir. Avusturya İmparatoru I. Ferdinand’ın Venedik ve Milano’da gerçekleşen Lombardiya-Venedik kralı olarak taç giyme törenlerine katılmıştır. Elçiliği sırasında Prens Klemens von Metternich ve Viyana’daki diğer diplomatlarla, özellikle Mısır meselesiyle ilgili, sık sık görüşmeler yapmıştır. Ayrıca Londra Elçisi Mustafa Reşid Paşa’yla yüz yüze görüşmeler ve yazışmalar yoluyla Osmanlı Devleti’nin siyasi, askerî problemleri ve reform konularında istişare imkânı bulmuştur. Tanzimat Fermanı’nın hazırlık sürecinin devam ettiği bir tarihte gerçekleştirdiği bu irtibatlar ve Avrupa’daki deneyimleri, onun tecrübelerini arttırdığı gibi Osmanlı’daki reform sorunu üzerinde düşüncelerinin olgunlaşmasına da yardım etmiştir. Sadık Rıfat Paşa, elçilik görevini başarıyla yerine getirmiştir. Avusturya yetkililerinin onunla ilgili olumlu ifadeleri, elçilik görevini sürdürürken kendisine hariciye müsteşarlığı rütbesi verilmesi ve tüm elçiler geri çağrılmışken görevine bir süre daha devam etmesinin istenmesi bunun bir göstergesidir.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have Complex Communication Needs (CCN) benefit from Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to support communication. Research on the use of AAC and how different stakeholders perceive the use of AAC has been heavily focused on Western culture. The purpose of this study was to understand Indonesian caregivers’ perspectives of their child’s use of AAC by conducting semi-structured interviews. Caregivers yearned for support and collaboration from professionals, showed perseverance and resilience by seeking other learning opportunities, supporting their children, and acting as advocates, and noted benefits from AAC when implemented in culturally responsive ways. Future directions and implications for practice and policy related to supports for Indonesian children with ASD and CCN are discussed.
Nonlinear kinetic parameter estimation for batch cooling seeded crystallization
Authors: Hu Q. , Rohani S. , Wang D. X. , Jutan A.
Published: July 2004

Kinetic parameter estimation for most batch crystallization processes is necessary because nucleation and crystal growth kinetic parameters are often not available. The existing identification methods are generally based on simplified population balance models such as moment equations, which contain insufficient information on the crystal size distribution (CSD). To deal with these problems, a new optimization‐based identification approach for general batch cooling seeded crystallization is proposed in this study. The final‐time CSD is directly used for identification. A novel effective method for solving the population balance equation is developed and used to identify nucleation and growth kinetic parameters. Cooling crystallization of ammonium sulfate in water was experimentally investigated, where the concentration was measured by an on‐line density meter and the final‐time CSD was analyzed by a Malvern Mastersizer 2000. Kinetics for ammonium sulfate are determined based on cooling crystallization experiments. Applying these kinetics in simulation provides a good prediction of the product CSD. © 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 50: 1786–1794, 2004

To understand normal cloacal developmental processes, serial sagittal sections of mouse embryos were made every 6 hrs from embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5) to E13.5. During cloacal development to form the urogenital sinus and anorectal canal, fusion of the urorectal septum with the cloacal membrane was not observed, and the ventral and dorsal parts of the cloaca were continuously connected by the canal until disappearance of the cloacal membrane to open the vestibule formed by the urogenital sinus and anorectal canal to the outside at E13.5. Ventral shifting of the dorsal part of the cloaca was observed until E12.5. The dorsal part was transformed in accordance with ventral shifting. In addition, apoptosis was seen to occur around the dorsal part. However, from E12.25, apoptotic cells are observed in a linear arrangement in the urorectal septum just ventral to the peritoneal cavity. Interestingly, extension of this line reaches the area of the cloacal membrane disintegrated by apoptosis. The present findings suggest that in the early stages (until E12.0), distribution of apoptosis in mesenchyme around the dorsal part of the cloaca might be strongly related to the transformation and ventral shifting of this part. Conversely, the apoptosis pattern in urorectal septum mesenchyme in later stages (from E12.0) might be involved in transformation of the urorectal septum and disintegration of the cloacal membrane. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Aging cartilage displays increased chondrocyte apoptosis and decreased responsiveness of chondrocytes to growth factors. The molecular mechanisms responsible for these changes have not been identified. Bag‐1 is a Bcl‐2‐binding protein that promotes cell survival, interacts with a diverse group of cellular proteins, and may integrate multiple pathways involved in controlling cell survival, growth, and phenotype. Bcl‐2 is important for maintaining chondrocyte phenotype and delaying terminal differentiation and apoptosis of chondrocytes. Comparatively little is known about the role of Bag‐1 in cartilage. Here we show that both growth plate and articular chondrocytes in the mouse express the Bag‐1 protein. In the growth plate, Bag‐1 expression is prominent in the late proliferative and prehypertrophic chondrocytes, displaying a pattern similar to what has been reported for Bcl‐2. Further, the expression of both Bcl‐2 and Bag‐1 declines with age in the articular cartilage. Growth assays demonstrate that knocking down Bag‐1 expression causes a decrease in growth rate. These results suggest that Bag‐1 is involved in the regulation of chondrocyte phenotype and cartilage aging. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Standsicherheitsuntersuchung für ein räumliches Böschungssystem – Berechnung mit einem zusammengesetzten dreidimensionalen Bruchmechanismus und Modellversuch im Gelände – Teil 3: Modellversuch und Schlußfolgerungen
Authors: Goldscheider Michael , Lizcano‐Peláez Arcesio
Published: July 2004

In den Teilen 1 und 2 dieses Aufsatzes wird ein beweglicher zusammengesetzter räumlicher Starrkörperbruchmechanismus für einen grabenbruchartigen Böschungsbruch eines hohen, räumlichen Böschungssystems entwickelt, wie er beim Fensterabbau im Braunkohlentagebau zu betrachten ist. Die Sicherheit gegen dieses Versagen wird für verschiedene geometrische Verhältnisse berechnet. Im Teil 3 wird ein Modellversuch beschrieben, der zur Überprüfung der angenommenen Bruchkinematik etwa im Maßstab 1:50 in einem Freigelände durchgeführt wurde. Der räumliche Böschungskörper wurde aus Mittelsand aufgebaut, die tiefe Ton‐Gleitschicht aus aufbereitetem Ton mit hohem Wassergehalt. Die Bewegungen wurden mittels Photogrammetrie der Oberfläche und eingebetteten Säulen aus farbigem Sand gemessen. Der Bruch trat ziemlich genau bei der vorausberechneten Fensterbreite ein. Die Gleitflächen, die auch beim entsprechenden ebenen Problem zu erwarten wären, stellten sich als dünne, ebene Scherfugen in der vorausberechneten Lage und Neigung ein. Die Gleitflächen, die in der Berechnung durch die Dreidimensionalität hinzukommen, bildeten sich als unscharf begrenzte Scherzonen aus. Den Starrkörperbewegungen waren Verzerrungen überlagert. Die Bewegungsrichtungen entsprachen dem Rechenmodell. Den Abschluß bilden die Schlußfolgerungen aus der gesamten Untersuchung. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Die Traglastberechnung punktgestützter Platten
Authors: Kessler Hans‐Gert
Published: July 2004

Die Traglastberechnung einer punktgestützten Platte über ein Punktegitter mit Stützen in Abständen a bzw. b (Bild 1) führt zu Momentbeanspruchungen, welche durch die einfachen und hinlänglich bekannten Ausdrücke qa2/8 bzw. qb2/8 für die Summe der beliebig zu verteilenden Feld‐ und Stützmomente gegeben sind.

Mit einem Ausgleich der Beanspruchungen von einer Richtung auf die andere ist nicht zu rechnen; auch ist der hier angenommene Ausgleich des (negativen) Stützmoments zwischen Stützen‐ und Feldstreifen – anders als jener des (positiven) Feldmoments – mit Skepsis zu betrachten. Das Wechselspiel zwischen Feld‐ und Stützmomenten hingegen ist weitgehend frei und darf in jeder der beiden Richtungen beliebig angewandt werden (Bild 5). (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Kiesbett bremst schwere Lkw in der Notfallspur am Gefälle
Authors: Gülich Hans‐A.
Published: July 2004

Bei Talfahrt schwerer Lkw auf schwierigen Streckenabschnitten kann unangemessene Fahrweise zu hoher Bremsen‐Beanspruchung führen. Durch ein Versagen seitens Fahrer oder Fahrzeug drohen dann in Abhängigkeit von der örtlichen Situation und der Ladung außerordentlich weitreichende Folgen. Schwere Unfälle im Laufe der neunziger Jahre veranlaßten in Deutschland an mehreren Orten die Einrichtung von Notfallspuren. Für die Gestaltung derartiger Anlagen sind zwar Gegebenheiten des Einzelfalls maßgebend, bei der Kennzeichnung hingegen müssen weitgehend einheitliche (europäische) Lösungen zum Einsatz kommen. Wegen der mit einer Notfallspur verbundenen Kosten und Erwartungen in beträchtlicher Höhe sind jegliche Erfahrungen an solchen Anlagen zu sammeln und bereitzustellen, – zum Vorteil von Planern zukünftiger sowie Nutzern vorhandener Anlagen.

Ist Elektrosmog eine Herausforderung für die Bautechnik?
Authors: Jütterschenke Peter
Published: July 2004

Elektroenergie wird in allen Bereichen unseres Lebensumfelds immer umfassender angewendet. Trotz inzwischen entwickelter Schutzmaßnahmen wird von Fachspezialisten und umweltbewußten Bürgern befürchtet, daß unsere Gesundheit durch dieses Wachstum zunehmend gefährdet wird. Da diese Problematik – nicht zuletzt wegen ihrer wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung – äußerst kontrovers und mit zunehmender Polemik diskutiert wird, sollen die folgenden Ausführungen den unvoreingenommenen Leser bei der eigenen Meinungsbildung mit Sachinformationen unterstützen. Dabei wird im Beitrag speziell auf solche Maßnahmen eingegangen, die in der Entwurfs‐ und Realisierungsphase eines Gebäudes, über seinen Schutz vor gesundheitsgefährdenden elektromagnetischen Feldern entscheiden.

A Comparison of the Three Conditional Exact Tests in Two‐way Contingency Tables Using the Unconditional Exact Power
Authors: Kang Seung‐Ho , Kim Su‐Jin
Published: July 2004

The conditional exact tests of homogeneity of two binomial proportions are often used in small samples, because the exact tests guarantee to keep the size under the nominal level. The Fisher's exact test, the exact chi‐squared test and the exact likelihood ratio test are popular and can be implemented in software StatXact. In this paper we investigate which test is the best in small samples in terms of the unconditional exact power. In equal sample cases it is proved that the three tests produce the same unconditional exact power. A symmetry of the unconditional exact power is also found. In unequal sample cases the unconditional exact powers of the three tests are computed and compared. In most cases the Fisher's exact test turns out to be best, but we characterize some cases in which the exact likelihood ratio test has the highest unconditional exact power.

Published: July 2004

The properties of the 16‐electron phosphinidene complex [CpRIrPR] were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Density functional theory calculations show a preferred bent geometry for the model complex [CpIrPH], in contrast to the linear structure of [CpIrNH]. Dimerization to give [{CpIrPH}2] and ligand addition to afford [Cp(L)IrPH] (L=PH3, CO) were calculated to give compounds that were energetically highly favorable, but which differed from the related imido complexes. Transient 16‐electron phosphinidene complex [Cp*IrPAr] could not be detected experimentally. Dehydrohalogenation of [Cp*IrCl2(PH2Ar)] in CH2Cl2 at low temperatures resulted in the novel fused‐ring systems 17 (Ar=Mes*) and 20 (Ar=Mes), with dimeric [{Cp*IrPAr}2] being the likely intermediate. Intramolecular CH bond activation induced by steric factors is considered to be the driving force for the irreversible formation of 17 and 20. ONIOM calculations suggest this arises because of the large steric congestion in [{Cp*IrPAr}2], which forces it toward a more reactive planar structure that is apt to rearrange.

By reaction of [TiCl3(thf)3] with LiC6Cl5, the homoleptic organotitanium(III) derivative [Li(thf)4][TiIII(C6Cl5)4] (1) has been prepared as a paramagnetic (d1, S = 1/2, gav = 1.959(2)), extremely air‐sensitive compound. Oxidation of 1 with [N(C6H4Br‐4)3][SbCl6] gives the diamagnetic (d0) organotitanium(IV) species [TiIV(C6Cl5)4] (2). Compounds 1 and 2 are also electrochemically related (E1/2 = 0.05 V). The homoleptic, diamagnetic (d10) compounds [N(PPh3)2][Tl(C6Cl5)4] (3) and [Sn(C6Cl5)4] (4) have also been prepared. Nearly tetrahedral environments have been found for the d0, d10, and d1 metal centers in the molecular structures of compounds 2–4 as well as in that of [Li(thf)2(OEt2)2][TiIII(C6Cl5)4]⋅CH2Cl2 (1′) (X‐ray diffraction). The reaction of the heavier Group 4 metal halides, MCl4 (M = Zr, Hf) with LiC6Cl5 in the presence of [NBu4]Br gives, in turn, the heteroleptic species [NBu4][M(C6Cl5)3Cl2] (M = Zr (5), Hf (6)). Compounds 5 and 6 are isomorphous and isostructural, with the metal center in a trigonal‐bipyramidal (TBPY‐5) environment defined by two axial Cl ligands and three equatorial C6Cl5 groups (X‐ray diffraction). No redox features are observed for compounds 3–6 in CH2Cl2 solution between −1.6 and +1.6 V.
Biomimetic Synthesis of the Tumor‐Associated (2,3)‐Sialyl‐T Antigen and Its Incorporation into Glycopeptide Antigens from the Mucins MUC1 and MUC4
Authors: Dziadek Sebastian , Brocke Constanze , Kunz Horst
Published: July 2004

Glycoproteins on epithelial tumor cells often exhibit aberrant glycosylation profiles. The incomplete formation of the glycan side chains resulting from a down‐regulated glucosamine transfer and a premature sialylation results in additional peptide epitopes, which become accessible to the immune system in mucin‐type glycoproteins. These cancer‐specific structure alterations are considered to be a promising basis for selective immunological attack on tumor cells. Among the tumor‐associated saccharide antigens, the (2,3)‐sialyl‐T antigen has been identified as the most abundant glycan, found in several different carcinoma cell lines. According to a linear biomimetic strategy, the (2,3)‐sialyl‐T antigen was synthesized by a stepwise glycan chain extension of a protected galactosamine‐threonine precursor. For the construction of immunostimulating antigens combining both peptide and saccharide motifs, this antigen was incorporated into glycopeptide partial structures from the mucins MUC1 and MUC4 by sequential solid‐phase synthesis.
