Interrupción legal del embarazo en la Ciudad de México: el papel de la educación
Authors: Rodríguez Sara Belem Alcántara , Armenta Maryza Aydeé Gómez , Mosiño Alejandro
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo estudia la asociación que existe entre el nivel educativo y
la interrupción legal del embarazo mediante la implementación de una
serie de modelos del tipo logit. Utilizando una muestra de más de
70,000 mujeres de entre 11 y 53 años de edad para el periodo comprendido
entre enero 2016 y mayo 2020, se encuentra que las mujeres más educadas
son más propensas a abortar por convicción y no por necesidad y/o
presión social. Además, se muestra que existen otros factores
relacionados al aborto inducido, tales como el acceso a los servicios de
salud, la remuneración en el trabajo, así como el uso de
anticonceptivos, la edad de inicio de la vida sexual, el número de
hijos, el número de abortos previos y la religión. El análisis confirma
varios de los resultados obtenidos previamente en la literatura empírica
y documental y aporta al debate sobre la despenalización sobre el aborto
en México.

Authors: Lickschat Peter , Metzner Daniel , Weißmantel Steffen
Published: September 2021

In this study, the generation of 3D microstructures in stainless steel with ultrashort laser pulses using different burst modes will be presented. Femtosecond laser pulses in the BiBurst mode and picosecond laser pulses in the MHz burst mode are used to generate a predefined 3D microstructure. To smooth the structure bottoms and to remove deposits, a novel subsequent processing technique using femtosecond laser pulses in the GHz burst mode is performed. Two different processing strategies of the ablation and the subsequent treatment are applied to generate predefined 3D microstructures with low surface roughness and without deposits. In this way, smooth structure bottoms with a minimum surface roughness of 0.13μm can be obtained at a structure depth of 300μm.

eHealth platforms as user–data communication: Examining patients’ struggles with digital health data
Authors: Mahnke Martina Skrubbeltrang , Nielsen Mikka
Published: September 2021

Sundhed.dk is Denmark's national eHealth platform allowing citizens to access their personal health data. Based on 16 qualitative interviews with patients, our aim in this article is to examine how patients engage with their health data. First, we illustrate how patients struggle in different ways to make sense of numerical measurements and written notes. Second, we examine the platform as a communicative space and suggest that a new “medical-domestic” space arises in which medical data is interpreted and negotiated at home. Third, we investigate how health data affects patients’ experiences of being involved as equal partners and how access to data potentially enhances patient empowerment, but also how expectations are sometimes unfulfilled. In conclusion, we argue for a broader public dialogue in order to make sure that the data provided actually creates an optimal starting point and does not foster insecurity or self-doubt on the patient's side.
Toddlers’ digital media practices and everyday parental struggles: Interactions and meaning-making as digital media are domesticated
Authors: Sandberg Helena , Sjöberg Ulrika , Sundin Ebba
Published: September 2021

In this article, the Swedish findings from a European comparative study on 0–3-year-old children and their digital lives are presented and discussed in relation to domestication theory, including the concept of moral economy. More specifically, attention is paid to toddler's appropriation of digital technology and the parents’ moral struggles: the negotiations between the parents concerning the introduction of digital media practices in early childhood, the selection of content, and the monitoring of children. Parents of very young children have ambivalent feelings towards digital media technologies and struggle to make the right decision for their children. The study demonstrates that the domestication of digital technology in early childhood is far more multifaceted and troublesome for parents to handle than previous research has found.
Contesting digital leisure time: Parental struggles in relation to young children's play with tablets at home
Authors: Lundtofte Thomas Enemark
Published: September 2021

Young children's practices with tablet computers has been a topic in parenting discourses for several years, drawing on earlier debates over technologies and media in children's lives. In this article, I analyse data from a video observation–based media ethnography of seven Danish children (aged 4–6) and engage with the research tradition attributed to parental mediation. The analysis suggests two major paths in the struggles that stand out from the discourses and in situ practices of parents and children in the empirical data. These paths encompass struggles in relation to supporting and directing children's play activities and setting boundaries in their use of tablets and content. The nuances and implications of both paths are analysed and discussed in terms of strategies that emerge to support children's agency and rapport with parents, as well as what this means for future research.
The struggle and enrichment of play: Domestications and overflows in the everyday life of gamer parents
Authors: Ask Kristine , Sørenssen Ingvild Kvale , Moltubakk Stine Thordarson
Published: September 2021

Gaming is a frequent source of conflict for families. Research on parents and gaming has identified a lack of gaming-related expertise, a general devaluation or fear of play, and authoritative and restrictive parenting styles as key sources of conflict. What happens when these deficits are addressed? What does mediation look like when parents are expert gamers, enjoy play, and encourage play for their children? Based on qualitative interviews with 29 parents who identify as gamers, we explore how gamer parents domesticate games. To explore the work of stabilising gaming as a wholesome and valued pastime, we combine domestication theory with overflows to address the struggles involved. The analysis investigates how gamer parents mediate play, with an emphasis on how games are interpreted, the family's player practices, and the role of gaming-related expertise in accordance with the three dimensions (symbolic, practice, cognitive) of domestication theory.
The ambiguity of technology in ASMR experiences: Four types of intimacies and struggles in the user comments on YouTube
Authors: Klausen Helle Breth
Published: September 2021

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingling, static-like sensation in response to specific triggering audio and visual stimuli. Within recent years, ASMR has mostly been associated with videos on YouTube (technologically mediated ASMR) dedicated to make the users “tingle”, relax, and feel at ease. In this article, I explore the ambiguity of technology in relation to the ASMR experience and theoretically investigate how viewer-listeners might struggle to obtain an intimate and parasocial interaction in a technologically mediated ASMR context. The article introduces four types of intimacies as well as theoretical concepts of mediated intimacy, immediacy, and parasocial interaction, and I discuss these intimacies and concepts in relation to illustrative comments by some of the pacesetting power users of ASMR.
An organisational cultivation of digital resignation?: Enterprise social media, privacy, and autonomy
Authors: Bagger Christoffer
Published: September 2021

Enterprise social media (ESM) have largely gone ignored in discussions of the datafication practices of social media platforms. This article presents an initial step towards filling this research gap. My research question in this article regards how employees of companies using the ESM Workplace from Facebook feel that the implementation of this particular platform relates to their potential struggles for digital privacy and work–life segmentation. Methodologically, I explore this through a qualitative interview study of 21 Danish knowledge workers in different organisations using the ESM. The central analytical proposal of the article is that the interviewees express a “digital resignation” towards the implementation of the ESM. In contrast to previous discussions, this resignation cannot only be thought of as “corporately cultivated” by third parties, but must also be considered as “organisationally cultivated” by the organisations people work for. The study suggests that datafication-oriented media studies should consider organisational contexts.
Female Stereotypes in Romanian Advertising: An Interpretative Content Analysis
Authors: Ujică Alexandra , Băbuţ Raluca
Published: September 2021

Advertising, by its accessibility, is incredibly powerful in spreading stereotypical representations. The way women are portrayed in advertising in different countries and cultures has been a subject of research for more decades. The paper aims to examine the way women are portrayed in advertising campaigns in Romania. The study focuses on finding the stereotypes used and their characteristics by qualitatively analyzing ads from brands’ YouTube channels. We identified seven stereotypes and the analysis shows that women portrayals are idealized in Romanian advertising. Although there are some modern approaches to the representations, ads do not reflect contemporary female roles. The most frequent stereotype is the Next-Door Woman, a stereotype that emphasis on the cuteness of the woman, not on her intelligence. Romanian brands’ advertising lacks campaigns promoting women empowerment.

La crisis del comando en el cine norteamericano de guerra submarina en los períodos de posguerra: los casos de Run Silent Run Deep (Robert Wise, 1958) y Crimson Tide (Tony Scott, 1995)
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Trujillo García-Ramos Francisco
Published: September 2021

The command crisis as a story line has been used in many references of the cinema war genre throughout years, but it is in the stories framed under the surface of the sea where it can reach its greatest destabilization capacity. The films of the subgenre suggested to exemplify this study are the North American Run Silent Run Deep (Robert Wise, 1958) and Crimson Tide (Tony Scott, 1995). Both films were produced during a post-war era and narrate the rivalry of a commander and his executive officer in wartime submarines of the United States Navy. Commanding problems severely affect the ecosystem of the ships, creating a struggle for control during patrol. By means of observation, the relationship between History and these films will be analysed, as much as the strategy and narrative process with the objective of verifying keys in the use of the plot.
THE PRESUMPTION OF HARM IN EU PRIVATE ENFORCEMENT OF COMPETITION LAW: EFFECTIVENESS VS OVERCOMPENSATION
Authors: Hornkohl Lena
Published: September 2021

The main issue that is still disrupting private enforcement of competition law is the calculation of damages. The 2014 Damages Directive contains some alleviations. Particularly Article 17(2) Damages Directive foresees a rebuttable presumption that cartels cause harm. Despite the clear statement in Recital 47 Damages Directive that this presumption should not cover the concrete amount of harm and studies that vary significantly regarding the typical overcharge, some Member States have created presumptions related to the amount of harm. Other Member States want to expand the presumption to non-cartel violations. This article takes a comparative analysis of the different Member States approaches and attempts to test the Damages Directive and EU competition law boundaries more generally. The article takes a sceptical perspective on some of the Member States’ approaches and proposes other solutions to ease the predicaments of damage quantifications: (i) a focus on illicit gains, (ii) amending the calculation guidelines and create a EU-wide competition damages database, (iii) create further procedural measures, such as collective redress instruments, special legal venues for private enforcement of competition law and expert judges, and (iv) foster further party-led solutions.
FINES AND DAILY FINES UNDER THE ACT ON THE AMENDMENTS TO COMPETITION ACT WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON MITIGATING AND AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES
Authors: Konjević Tena
Published: September 2021

The paper analyzes the amendments to Title VIII of the Croatian Competition Act regulating penalty clause or the fines, daily fines, and the methods for their imposition, adopted in April 2021. Daily fines are a new institute that further extends the Croatian Competition Agency's (CCA) power as a general, national regulatory authority responsible for the protection of competition in all markets. Therefore, each amended article of that Title is analysed to accurately reflect what has changed and with which provision of the Directive (EU) 2019/1 it has been harmonized. The paper also provides a detailed tabular overview and comparison of the amount of the fine and mitigating and aggravating circumstances that the Agency considered into account when imposing them in cases in the period from 2013 to the end of 2020, so that, finally, it can be concluded if there is a consistent relationship between the number of mitigating and aggravating circumstances and the amount of the fine that CCA imposes when there are infringements of the national and EU competition law.
TEMPORARY REGULATION OF COMPETITION AND CORONAVIRUS
Authors: Vodanović Darija
Published: September 2021

Competition law as one of the foundations of a market economy whose main purpose is to ensure an equal position of entrepreneurs in the market, regardless of the size, market power and other features of the implied system of state aid both at central and local and regional level. The aim and purpose of this research is a clear and tentative way of pointing out the importance of competition in relation to coronavirus. In order to achieve this goal, the paper seeks to provide scientifically based answers to a number of current issues, starting from detention from the definitions of competition and coronavirus. In addition to the above, it is necessary to consider how this disease affected entrepreneurship, which had positive and negative consequences. In addition, it is important to note that it has left a significant impact on our mental health. The main results of the research point to the fact that the coronavirus as a global, economic and health crisis suddenly caught us all overnight and as such changed our lives. In addition to greatly affecting the economy, there is also a blow to the company. In case of suspicion of infection, the obligation to call a doctor, ie a territorially competent epidemiologist, and the obligation to go to an outpatient clinic are determined as a preventive measure. In this paper, qualitative research in correlation with quantitative research was used. Starting from the fact that quantitative research is based on the description of individual conditions, ie the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships, the paper in a representative way seeks to simplify the concept of competition as the driving force of a market economy that entails many benefits consumer choice, innovation. In addition, considering the coronavirus from a quantitative point of view, it is manifested in how the coronavirus as a new strain of virus, discovered in humans, 'stirred' the whole world as such forced people to care about their health and the health of our loved ones. Also, an obligation to adhere to epidemiological measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection has been introduced. Qualitative research, as a term used to describe research that focuses on the way individuals and groups view and understand the world, also has a significant impact on this work, primarily because it considers how the pandemic affected the health of people interacting with each other.

Authors:   National University of Transport, Shatilo Oksana
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this article is to define the interpretation of the concept of "mechanism" and its elements, which are interconnected and in interaction contribute to the development of the object. At the same time in modern science it is possible to allocate various directions to consideration of the mechanism. Three directions of the mechanism are analyzed: the first direction considers the mechanism as a control tool that affects the development of the object; the second direction considers the interaction of the subjects and is based on the principles and sequence of certain actions between them; the third approach defines the economic mechanism as a sequence of interconnected economic phenomena. It is determined that enterprises in the process of their activities use a combination of different mechanisms and directions, taking into account their complexity. The author's structuring and definition of its components are offered on the basis of the carried-out researches with allocation of two key contours: 1) a contour of innovative activity taking into account imperatives of strategy of development of the enterprise; 2) the core of the mechanism of development of innovation processes, which forms their close relationship with the contour of innovation, taking into account the imperatives of the development strategy of the enterprise and the variability of consumer values. It is determined that the main purpose of forming the mechanism of strategic development innovative processes of motor transport enterprises is to ensure the efficient use of all resources, tools and systems of interaction between departments, where the main elements of the mechanism of strategic development of innovative processes of motor transport enterprises can be considered methods and tools for implementing their innovative development program. The principles of effective functioning of the mechanism are formulated strategic development of innovative processes of motor transport enterprises. The structural and logical construction of strategic development of innovative processes of motor transport enterprises is offered taking into account the formulated principles and functions of management.
THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF FORMATION AND ESTIMATION OF THE FINANCIAL POTENTIAL OF SMALL ENTERPRISES' INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Yurkiv Ruslan
Published: September 2021

In many countries, small businesses have a significant impact on the total gross domestic product. However, in Ukraine, the opportunities of small businesses to ensure the economic growth of the state are not sufficiently used yet. Among the reasons for this phenomenon is the insufficiently high rate of economic development of domestic small businesses, which, among other things, is due to the low level of investment activity of many small enterprises in Ukraine. In turn, the low volume of investment activity of such enterprises is also because the owners and managers of these enterprises are not competent enough to form and assess the financial potential of investment activities of business entities. Given this, the study aims to develop theoretical and methodological principles for the formation and evaluation of the financial potential of small enterprises’ investment activities. The economic content of the concept of the strategy of formation of the financial potential of small enterprises' investment activity is considered. Classification of factors influencing the magnitude of this potential has been developed. In particular, the primary and secondary, deterministic and non-deterministic, positive and negative factors that are directly or indirectly involved in the formation of the financial potential of small enterprises’ investment activities are highlighted. It is established that the process of such formation involves the transition from the existing to the strategic financial potential of investment activities of economic entities. The main ways of such transition are identified. Indicators for assessing the existing and strategic financial potential of investment activities of small enterprises are proposed. The connection between these indicators is established, and we perform their decomposition. In particular, the amount of the available financial potential of the business entity is presented as the sum of the opportunities to use the company's own funds, as well as obtaining loans and borrowed funds to finance investment projects. The results of the study can be used in planning the investment activities of small enterprises, in particular, in justifying the rational parameters of financial support for these activities.
EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN COMMUNITIES BASED ON BEHAVIORAL THEORY
Authors:   Sumy National Agrarian University, Pylypenko Nadiia , Karpets Oleksandra ,   Sumy National Agrarian University
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the role of social entrepreneurship in solving socio-economic problems of territorial communities. The authors analyzed the opportunities for the development of social entrepreneurship in the territorial community on the basis of the author's questionnaire. An empirical study has shown that social entrepreneurship in the community is underdeveloped. Survey participants demonstrate an understanding of the meaning of social entrepreneurship, their views are radically different from the views of experts and experts. Today's entrepreneurs see their mission in supporting socially vulnerable groups, helping to strengthen families and raising children, and preventing negative social phenomena. The analysis of the results of the survey shows the existence of gender problems due to the increased burden of family and household problems in the first place. From the point of view of gender features, the development of women's social entrepreneurship will be more conducive to overcoming social problems in society. Emphasis is placed on the fact that understanding the essence of social entrepreneurship in society will help to introduce new tools for socio-economic solutions that can be more effective than traditional ones. It has been proven that the success of social entrepreneurship at the local level is largely based on the perception of its community members and the understanding that the result of social enterprise is to improve the quality of life of community members by finding new ways to solve social problems. Community members' work on social entrepreneurship can "encourage" them to think about value orientations and opportunities to help the disadvantaged. It is the change in the behavioral patterns of community members that can become one of the components of the mechanism for the development of social entrepreneurship in our country at the local level. The authors propose to expand cooperation with local authorities in order to improve attitudes towards social entrepreneurship as an alternative to solving problems.
PECULIARITIES OF GUARANTEES OF REALIZATION OF ECOLOGICAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF HUMAN AND CITIZENS IN UKRAINE: QUESTIONS OF THEORY
Authors:   Lviv Institute of PJSC MAUP University, Pryshliak Halyna
Published: September 2021

Numerous ideological dogmas and "propaganda struggles" over human rights, which took place for decades, did not make it possible to realistically comprehend and solve the problems of individual rights in Soviet society in full, according to a certain level of progress,say in the European Union. Such dogmas include the assertion that only socialism is able to fully guarantee human rights, that the main socio-economic rights for man and his freedom. Thus, freely or not, political and personal, spiritual and human rights, and even more so, environmental ones were underestimated. Unfortunately, this view reflected the actual practice in the former USSR and other former socialist countries. In the field of political, spiritual and personal rights and freedoms, there were quite a few forbidden topics, and environmental ones were not singled out at all. At the same time, competent jurists, both during the years of stagnation and during the so-called perestroika, consistently developed and defended the idea of human and civil rights. The article considers the problem of realization of human and civil rights and freedoms and guarantees of observance of international standards of ecological human rights in the national legislation. Emphasis is placed on the implementation of international norms in the field of human rights and freedoms in the practice of national legislation. It is proposed to supplement the current legislation with the right of citizens and their associations to control the bodies of state power and local self-government in the environmental sphere. It is concluded that problems with the realization of environmental rights and freedomsin Ukraine, unfortunately, exist. The level of theirimplementation islow, therefore, it can be stated that the level of efficiency is also low. In addition, it should be noted that citizens' awareness of the full range of their environmental rights and freedoms, which are enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine, and their continued application, will lead to their implementation at the appropriate democratic and legal level.
EFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE REGIONAL SOCIETY: CERTAIN ASPECTS OF METHODOLOGY
Authors:   Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, Priamukhina Natalia
Published: September 2021

The article considers some aspects of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of public management of the quality of life of the population of the region. It is substantiated: human life is connected with the concepts of "needs" and "interests", because only by satisfying the needs embodied in conscious interests, an individual can achieve a certain level and quality of life. It is determined that the management of quality of life is due to the peculiarities of modernization processes, where the basis of development is a person, his intellectual, creative and physical potential. Modern society, as a "risk society" narrows the living space of the individual, acts as a catalyst for growing dissatisfaction with living conditions and uncertainty in the future, so preventing possible risks and creating safe living conditions is an integral component of quality of life. It is proved that the study of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of public management of the quality of life of the region should be based on the concept of "system", the relative independence of quality of life from the region, and the fact that as a system of indicators is something greater than the set of results of its constituent elements and subsystems. The peculiarities of self-organization of the quality of life of the population of the region are considered, it is substantiated that in assessing the effectiveness of public administration to ensure the quality of life of the population, economic and social efficiency are taken into account. The general conclusion of the study is the relevance of using an indicative model of public administration with the foundation of the quality of life system, in particular the set of parameters: welfare; The "quality" of the population represented by the health care and education system; living conditions; social and environmental security; conditions for the diverse development of personality.
Nachhaltigkeit: Avoiding Design - Warum gutes Design kein Design ist und auch das Nicht-Designen und Vermeiden von Produkten Gestalterhandwerk sein muss
Authors:   chilli mind GmbH, Schütz Philipp , Gerstheimer Oliver ,   chilli mind GmbH, Englisch Philipp ,   chilli mind GmbH
Published: September 2021

„Avoiding Design“ bezeichnet nicht nur das Verhindern durch Design, sondern auch das Vermeiden von Design an sich – also das bewusste Nicht-Designen, um Produkte grundlegend an ihrer Entstehung zu hindern. Es schafft ein Bewusstsein dafür, dass ein gleicher oder größerer Nutzen für die Nachhaltigkeit erzeugt wird, wenn man etwas so belässt wie es ist oder etwas wegnimmt, anstatt etwas hinzuzufügen. Die Natur des Designs ist formgebend und in die Welt hinein entwerfend. Dass das Ergebnis des Designprozesses aber auch formnehmend oder verwerfend sein kann, wird kaum in Betracht gezogen. Anstatt bestehende Produkte nur einem nachhaltigen Redesign zu unterziehen oder völlig neue hinzuzufügen, müssen Designentscheidungen grundlegend hinterfragt und rückgängig gemacht werden, um die Anzahl von Produkten insgesamt zu reduzieren.

Um effektiv auf neue Marktgegebenheiten reagieren zu können, versuchen Industrieunternehmen ihre internen Geschäftsabläufe schlank und effizient zu halten. Dies stößt jedoch an Grenzen, wenn tradierte Unternehmens-IT im Zuge der digitalen Transformation mit neuen Geschäfts- und Bedienfähigkeiten ausgestattet werden soll. Die Integration von Systemen und Daten sowie die prozessuale Steuerung einer sich neu ordnenden IT-Landschaft verlangt nach neuen Konzepten, die die Besonderheit von kooperativen Wertschöpfungsprozessen berücksichtigen. Der Beitrag stellt die Anwendung der Action Design Research für die Konzeption, Entwicklung, Einführung und Auswertung einer IT-Applikation innerhalb eines Anwendungsfalls der Montageplanung der Automobilproduktion heraus. Dazu wird der Ansatz der Conversational Workflows, ein für die Zusammenarbeit in wissensintensiven, kooperativen Industrieprozessen entwickelter Applikationsaufbau, zur Lösung der Problemstellung herangezogen. Mit Hilfe eines auf den Anwendungsfall angepassten Ablaufs der Action Design Research werden in zwei partizipativen ADR-Zyklen sowohl eine MVP-Version als auch eine produktive Variante einer Web-Applikation für die Materialmodulbereitstellung entwickelt und im Praxissystem erlebbar gemacht. Im Ergebnis konnte sich das Konzept der Conversational Workflows als geeignet herausstellen und lässt zusätzlich Raum für kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklungen. Auf methodischer Seite hat sich gezeigt, dass eine Ergänzung der konzeptionellen ADR-Phasen um Design Thinking zu einer verbesserten Artefaktentwicklung beitragen kann.

Kreislaufwirtschaft ist ein Konzept, um den Rohstoff- und Ressourcenverbrauch wirksam zu reduzieren. Hierbei sollen bestehende Produkte und Ressourcen so lange wie möglich in wertschöpfenden Kreisläufen gehalten werden. Im Rahmen der Repurpose (Wiederverwendung) Strategie werden Bauteile und Ressourcen von ausrangierten Produkten in neue Produkte mit anderer Funktion wiederverwendet. Hierzu müssen Rohlinge für neue Produkte in Sekundärrohstoffen angeordnet und herausgetrennt werden. Bedingt durch den nicht standardisierten Zustand von Sekundärrohstoffen, wird ein intelligentes Nesting Verfahren eingesetzt, die Ressourceneffizienz zu verbessern. Der Einsatz von intelligentem Nesting im Rahmen der Kreislaufwirtschaft zeigt, dass der Einsatz von Sekundärrohstoffen gesteigert und die benötigte Energie für die nachfolgenden Fertigungsverfahren eingespart werden kann.

Die Produktvisualisierung in AR/VR-Anwendungen erfordert einen weitgehend manuellen Prozess der Datenaufbereitung. Bisherige Veröffentlichungen konzentrieren sich auf die fehlerfreie Triangulation oder Transformation von Produktstrukturdaten und Anzeigeattributen für AR/VR-Anwendungen. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Aufbereitung der benötigten Geometriedaten. In diesem Zusammenhang kann durch Automatisierung eine deutliche Aufwandsreduzierung erreicht werden. Die Schritte der Geometrieaufbereitung werden identifiziert und auf ihr Automatisierungspotenzial hin untersucht. Darüber hinaus werden mögliche Kopplungen von Teilschritten diskutiert. Es wird eine Struktur für den Geometrieaufbereitungsprozess vorgeschlagen. Mit diesem strukturierten Prozess wird es möglich, die verfügbare Rechenleistung der Zielplattform bei der Geometrieaufbereitung zu berücksichtigen. Die Anzahl der zu rendernden Objekte, die Qualität der Tesselierung und der Detailgrad können durch die automatisierte Wahl der Transformationsparameter gesteuert werden. Es wird ein Software-Tool vorgestellt, in dem Teile der automatischen Aufbereitung bereits implementiert sind. Nach einer Analyse der Produktstruktur einer CAD-Datei wird die Transformation für jede Komponente (Bauteil oder Baugruppe) durchgeführt. Bisher implementierte Funktionen erlauben z.B. die Auswahl von Komponenten anhand von Filteroptionen, die Transformation im Batch-Modus, das Entfernen bestimmter Details und die Erstellung von UV-Maps. Flexibilität, Transformationsqualität und Zeitersparnis werden beschrieben und diskutiert.

Проведены исследования процесса SNipso–замещения нитрогруппы алкилзамещенных производных 3-нитро-1,2,4-триазола. Показано, что N(2)-изомерные производные нитротриазолы вступают в реакцию нуклеофильного замещения нитрогруппы с метоксид-анионом с образованием соответствующих метокси-производных. Реакции SNipso–замещения нитрогруппы 1-алкил-5-нитро-1,2,4-триазолов метоксид-анионом практически селективны. Доля побочных продуктов не превышает 1,0 %.

Here we investigate the SNipso–substitution of the nitro group in alkyl-substituted derivatives of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole. The N(2)-isomeric derivatives of nitrotriazoles were found to engaged in the reaction of nucleophilic substitution of the nitro group with the methoxide anion to furnish the respective methoxy derivatives. The reactions of SNipso–substitution of the nitro group in 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles with the methoxide anion were almost selective. The portion of by-products was not in excess of 1.0 %.

To improve the fermentation efficiency of Propionibacterium acidipropionici, a simplified metabolic network was established to provide theoretical guidance for medium optimization and process regulation. The effect of glucose and glycerol on propionic acid production and metabolic flux distribution was investigated and the combination of glucose and glycerol was optimized. The results showed that the productivity of propionic acid could be improved by enhancing the synthesis of pyruvate and its flux distribution to the oxaloacetate branch. Finally, the scaled-up fed-batch fermentation of P. acidipropionici was conducted. The concentration of propionic acid reached 51.75 ± 3.62g/L with a glucose/glycerol ratio of 4:1, an improvement of 79.25% relative to the use of glucose alone, and the corresponding productivity and yield were 0.39g/(L· h) and 0.52g/g, respectively. Therefore, the combination of glucose and glycerol significantly improved the productivity of propionic acid and provides a new strategy for industrial production.

Appropriate triage of abdominal pain in the outpatient setting is critical for safe and effective management of patients. Abdominal pain has a broad differential, heavily dependent on elicitation of a clear history, and pertinent physical exam findings. In adults >50 with left lower quadrant pain, diverticulitis is the most common cause. Diverticulitis can cause significant morbidity in this population, frequently requiring inpatient management, systemic antibiotics, and occasionally surgical intervention. A frequently overlooked cause of left lower quadrant pain in adults is Epiploic Appendagitis (EA). While similar in presentation, unlike diverticulitis, EA rarely requires more than outpatient treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories for pain management. Here we present a report of left lower quadrant pain consistent with diverticulitis in a 55 yo female in the outpatient setting, found to have EA by imaging. This case demonstrates that the differential for LLQ pain without signs of an acute abdomen in an adult, should include EA.

High levels of autoimmune antibodies are observed in COVID-19 patients but their specific contribution to disease severity and clinical manifestations remains poorly understood. We performed a retrospective study of 115 COVID-19 hospitalized patients with different degrees of severity to analyze the generation of autoimmune antibodies to common antigens: a lysate of erythrocytes, the lipid phosphatidylserine (PS) and DNA. High levels of IgG autoantibodies against erythrocyte lysates were observed in a large percentage (up to 36%) of patients. Anti-DNA and anti-PS antibodies determined upon hospital admission correlated strongly with later development of severe disease, showing a positive predictive value of 85.7% and 92.8%, respectively. Patients with positive values for at least one of the two autoantibodies accounted for 24% of total severe cases. Statistical analysis identified strong correlations between anti-DNA antibodies and markers of cell injury, coagulation, neutrophil levels and erythrocyte size. Anti-DNA and anti-PS autoantibodies may play an important role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and could be developed as predictive biomarkers for disease severity and specific clinical manifestations.
The Racial Wealth Gap and Access to Opportunity Neighborhoods

Some Black households live in neighborhoods with lower incomes, as well as higher unemployment rates and lower educational attainment, than their own incomes might suggest, and this may impede their economic mobility. We investigate reasons for the neighborhood sorting patterns we observe and find that differences in financial factors such as income, wealth, or housing costs between Black and white households do not explain racial distributions across neighborhoods. Our findings suggest other factors are at work, including discrimination in the housing market, ongoing racial hostility, or preferences by Black households for the strength of social networks or other neighborhood amenities that some lower-socioeconomic locations provide.
