Wie kann Reden heilen? Zur Sprache in der Psychotherapie
Authors: Marx Christopher , Benecke Cord , Gumz Antje 
Published: February 2020

ZusammenfassungPsychotherapie gilt traditionell als „talking cure“, als Heilverfahren also, das wesentlich über Sprache operiert. Unklar ist allerdings, was diese Zuschreibung konkret bedeutet, insofern die therapeutische Wirkung von Sprache unterschiedlich expliziert wurde. Vor diesem Hintergrund rekonstruiert diese Studie zentrale Ansätze, die die „talking cure“ in Termini von 1. Katharsis, 2. Symbolisierung, 3. Metaphern, 4. verbalen Interventionen und 5. Narrativen beschreiben, und diskutiert diese im Hinblick auf Befunde der Psychotherapieforschung. Im Resultat ergibt sich ein komplexes Bild disparater theoretischer Zugriffe, die in der Grundannahme konvergieren, das therapeutische Potenzial von Sprache in ihrer Möglichkeit zur Explikation beziehungsweise zur Modifikation pathologisch-maladaptiver Erlebens- und Erfahrungskonstellationen zu sehen. Die empirische Befundlage bezüglich dieser Ansätze ist heterogen: Die meisten Typen verbaler Aktivität zeigen unklare Assoziationen mit dem Behandlungserfolg. Konsistenter sind Zusammenhänge mit Prozessvariablen, wobei spezifische Prozesse von unterschiedlichen verbalen Aktivitäten evoziert werden können (zum Beispiel Verstehen durch Übertragungsdeutungen, Selbstoffenbarungen, Metaphern oder Narrative). Weiterhin wurde gezeigt, dass verbale Aktivität auch negative Effekte haben kann. Insgesamt legen diese Befunde eine integrative Sicht auf die Sprache im Sinne eines Sets sprachinduzierter veränderungsrelevanter Prozesse nahe, deren heilsame Wirkung im Kontext eines umfassenden Beziehungsgeschehens zu betrachten ist und dabei komplexen Randbedingungen unterliegt, die zu präzisieren und systematisieren ein wichtiges Desiderat der Psychotherapieforschung darstellt.

Abstract
Background
We introduce a novel operative technique to dissect lymph nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, referred to as the “native tissue preservation” technique. Using this technique, there was no damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which is maintained in its anatomical position.

Methods
From September 2016 to December 2018, minimally invasive esophagectomy was performed in the left lateral decubitus position in 87 patients with esophageal cancer. The native tissue preservation technique for lymphadenectomy around the recurrent laryngeal nerve was used, and all patients were evaluated for recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.

Results
Minimally invasive esophagectomy was completed in all patients without conversion to thoracotomy. Although an extended lymphadenectomy was performed in all patients, there were no grade II or higher complications (Clavien–Dindo classification) and no incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.

Conclusion
The native tissue preservation technique may reduce the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after minimally invasive esophagectomy with radical lymph node dissection.
What is the evidence for mirtazapine in treating cancer-related symptomatology? A systematic review
Authors: Economos Guillaume , Lovell Natasha , Johnston Anna , Higginson Irene J. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Purpose
Cancer patients often experience multiple distressing symptoms which are challenging to manage. It would therefore be helpful to find a treatment that alleviates more than one symptom, to avoid polypharmacy: mirtazapine has been used in several studies for this purpose. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of mirtazapine in alleviating one or more frequently encountered cancer-related symptoms.

Methods
Systematic review of clinical trials in English or French. Eight databases were searched. Included studies assessed the effectiveness of mirtazapine in alleviating one or more frequently encountered cancer-related symptoms. Comparator and validated assessment tools were required. Studies were independently appraised by two investigators before data synthesis.

Results
The search yielded 1898 references, from which we identified 12 relevant articles evaluating highly heterogeneous outcomes. These were two randomised-controlled (RCTs), three non-randomised controlled, and seven non-randomised non-controlled trials. In total, 392 participants were included and 185 were in RCTs. No study assessed the effectiveness of mirtazapine in alleviating symptoms at the same time, but some considered more than one symptom. Overall, the data was of poor quality, limited by small sample size and bias. However, mirtazapine showed effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, emesis and neuropathic pain. Across all studies, mirtazapine is safe to use, with drowsiness and dizziness the most common side-effects.

Conclusion
Study design and small sample sizes limit the ability to interpret results. Trials to assess the impact of mirtazapine or other medicines in alleviating multiple symptoms would be valuable.
A selection of weather type classification systems and examples of their application
Authors: Piotrowicz Katarzyna , Ciaranek Dominika 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe paper discusses a selection of the most popular systems classifying weather types found in climatological literature. The review focuses on the choice of meteorological elements and their value ranges as the differentiating criteria. Examples of the application of some of these systems are presented, as well as a number of possible analyses that could be attempted. In order to investigate this, use was made of 1961–2010 meteorological data from stations in Warsaw (Poland) and Cologne (Germany). It was found that the annual and long-term changes in the types of weather reflect the diversity and variability of the climate in both cities very well, and allow the stability (non-changeability) of weather to be quantified.
EMPIRE: a highly parallel semiempirical molecular orbital program: 3: Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics
Authors: Margraf Johannes T. , Hennemann Matthias , Clark Timothy 
Published: February 2020

AbstractDirect NDDO-based Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (MD) have been implemented in the semiempirical molecular orbital program EMPIRE. Fully quantum mechanical MD simulations on unprecedented time and length scales are possible, since the calculation of self-consistent wavefunctions and gradients is performed in a massively parallel manner. MD simulations can be performed in the NVE and NVT ensembles, using either deterministic (Berendsen) or stochastic (Langevin) thermostats. Furthermore, dynamics for condensed-phase systems can be performed under periodic boundary conditions. We show three exemplary applications: the dynamics of molecular reorganization upon ionization, long timescale dynamics of an endohedral fullerene, and calculation of the vibrational spectrum of a nanoparticle consisting of more than eight hundred atoms.
The interplay between structural flood protection, population density, and flood mortality along the Jamuna River, Bangladesh

Published: February 2020

AbstractLevees protect floodplain areas from frequent flooding, but they can paradoxically contribute to more severe flood losses. The construction or reinforcement of levees can attract more assets and people in flood-prone area, thereby increasing the potential flood damage when levees eventually fail. Moreover, structural protection measures can generate a sense of complacency, which can reduce preparedness, thereby increasing flood mortality rates. We explore these phenomena in the Jamuna River floodplain in Bangladesh. In this study area, different levels of flood protection have co-existed alongside each other since the 1960s, with a levee being constructed only on the right bank and its maintenance being assured only in certain places. Primary and secondary data on population density, human settlements, and flood fatalities were collected to carry out a comparative analysis of two urban areas and two rural areas with different flood protection levels. We found that the higher the level of flood protection, the higher the increase of population density over the past decades as well as the number of assets exposed to flooding. Our results also show that flood mortality rates associated with the 2017 flooding in Bangladesh were lower in the areas with lower protection level. This empirical analysis of the unintended consequences of structural flood protection is relevant for the making of sustainable policies of disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change in rapidly changing environments.

Published: February 2020

AbstractThis article—published in the Journal Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation.—provides a ready-to-implement creativity training concept with elements of Design Thinking. Although organizations have expressed an increasing interest in creativity training to help their employees become more creative and innovative, recent research indicates effective creativity training is still lacking. The training course described in this report fills this organizational human resource development requirement for practical, effective idea generation techniques. It focuses on increasing the creativity performance during the Design Thinking idea generation phase. The training concept is designed for a one day onsite workshop with up to 40 participants.
Correlation of Microstructure and Properties of Cold Gas Sprayed INCONEL 718 Coatings
Authors: Vaßen R. , Fiebig J. , Kalfhaus T. , Gibmeier J. , Kostka A. , Schrüfer S. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn the cold gas spray process, deposition of particles takes place through intensive plastic deformation upon impact in a solid state at temperatures well below their melting point. The high particle impact velocities and corresponding peening effects can lead to high compressive residual stresses in cold spray coatings. This can be advantageous with regard to mechanical properties as fatigue life and hence, cold spray is an ideal process for repair applications. In this study, INCONEL 718 particles were cold sprayed by using nitrogen as propellant gas. The deposited coatings with different thicknesses were characterized using electron microscopy techniques to study grain refinement and precipitates in the coating. In addition, depth-resolved residual stress measurements have been performed by the incremental hole drilling method. The residual stress depth profiles in the coatings indicate compressive residual stresses of several hundred MPa which are hardly influenced by the coating thickness. In addition, large compressive stress levels are found in surface-near regions of the substrate due to the grit blasting process. Furthermore, a post-heat treatment analysis was performed to investigate its influence on residual stresses and bonding strength. These findings are used to develop a consistent explanation of the dependence of strength values on thickness.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Introduction
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment option for obesity. It results in massive weight loss and improvement of obesity-related diseases. At the same time, it leads to a drastic change in body shape. These body shape changes are mainly measured by two-dimensional measurement methods, such as hip and waist circumference. These measurement methods suffer from significant measurement errors and poor reproducibility. Here, we present a three-dimensional measurement tool of the torso that can provide an objective and reproducible source for the detection of body shape changes after bariatric surgery.

Material and Methods
In this study, 25 bariatric patients were scanned with Artec EVA®, an optical three-dimensional mobile scanner up to 1 week before and 6 months after surgery. Data were analyzed, and the volume of the torso, the abdominal circumference and distances between specific anatomical landmarks were calculated. The results of the processed three-dimensional measurements were compared with clinical data concerning weight loss and waist circumference.

Results
The volume of the torso decreased after bariatric surgery. Loss of volume correlated strongly with weight loss 6 months after the operation (r = 0.6425, p = 0.0005). Weight loss and three-dimensional processed data correlated better (r = 0.6121, p = 0.0011) than weight loss and waist circumference measured with a measuring tape (r = 0.3148, p = 0.1254).

Conclusion
Three-dimensional imaging provides an objective and reproducible source for the detection of body shape changes after bariatric surgery. We recommend its use for the evaluation of central obesity, particularly for research issues and body imaging before and after bariatric surgery.
Parents’ Marital Quality and Children’s Transition to Adulthood
Authors: Brauner-Otto Sarah R. , Axinn William G. , Ghimire Dirgha J. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractUnique longitudinal measures from Nepal allow us to link both mothers’ and fathers’ reports of their marital relationships with a subsequent long-term record of their children’s behaviors. We focus on children’s educational attainment and marriage timing because these two dimensions of the transition to adulthood have wide-ranging, long-lasting consequences. We find that children whose parents report strong marital affection and less spousal conflict attain higher levels of education and marry later than children whose parents do not. Furthermore, these findings are independent of each other and of multiple factors known to influence children’s educational attainment and marriage timing. These intriguing results support theories pointing toward the long-term intergenerational consequences of variations in multiple dimensions of parents’ marriages.
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing for Preoperative Evaluation: What Does the Future Hold?
Authors: Otto James M. , Levett Denny Z. H. , Grocott Michael P. W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) informs the preoperative evaluation process by providing individualised risk profiles; guiding shared decision-making, comorbidity optimisation and preoperative exercise training; and informing perioperative patient management. This review summarises evidence on the role of CPET in preoperative evaluation and explores the role of novel and emerging CPET variables and alternative testing protocols that may improve the precision of preoperative evaluation in the future.

Recent Findings
CPET provides a wealth of physiological data, and to date, much of this is underutilised clinically. For example, impaired chronotropic responses during and after CPET are simple to measure and in recent studies are predictive of both cardiac and noncardiac morbidity following surgery but are rarely reported. Exercise interventions are increasingly being used preoperatively, and endurance time derived from a high intensity constant work rate test should be considered as the most sensitive method of evaluating the response to training. Further research is required to identify the clinically meaningful difference in endurance time. Measuring efficiency may have utility, but this requires exploration in prospective studies.

Summary
Further work is needed to define contemporaneous risk thresholds, to explore the role of other CPET variables in risk prediction, to better characterise CPET’s role in combination with other tools in multifactorial risk stratification and increasingly to evaluate CPET’s utility for preoperative exercise prescription in prehabilitation.
Non-associative structures of commutative algebras related with quadratic Poisson brackets
Authors: Artemovych Orest D. , Blackmore Denis , Prykarpatski Anatolij K. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThere are studied algebraic properties of quadratic Poisson brackets on non-associative non-commutative algebras, compatible with their multiplicative structure. Their relations both with derivations of symmetric tensor algebras and Yang–Baxter structures on the adjacent Lie algebras are demonstrated. Special attention is paid to quadratic Poisson brackets of Lie–Poisson type, examples of Balinsky–Novikov and Leibniz algebras are discussed. The non-associative structures of commutative algebras related with Balinsky–Novikov, Leibniz, Lie, and Zinbiel algebras are studied in detail.
Application of Surface Layer Inoculation Processes to Solid Solution-Strengthened Ductile Cast Iron

Published: February 2020

AbstractWithin the present investigations, an in-mould inoculation method for ductile cast iron with elevated silicon contents was developed. The inoculation process takes place at the interface between the mould’s surface and the melt. The application of a mould wall inoculation process allows inoculation at the latest possible point in time, which means high efficiency due to reduced fading effects. For this purpose, various inoculant suspensions are produced, containing inoculants in different amounts and grain fractions. The inoculant is applied to the surface of a PEP SET™-bonded moulding material by means of an air-pressurized spraying pistol. The specimen geometry used in the tests is a 5-stepped wedge, which represents wall thicknesses in the range of 5–40 mm. For a total of 8 castings, inoculant fractions in the spectrum of 0–25 and 0–45 μm are used to produce the solid solution-strengthened grade EN-GJS-500-14 that is specified in the European standard EN 1563. Metallographic investigations show that a complete solidification according to the stable system can be adjusted in the investigated wall thicknesses by inoculation with grain fractions of 0–25 μm.

ZusammenfassungDer Autoverkehr ist in vielen Städten zu einer hohen Belastung geworden. Um die Alternativen zum Autoverkehr zu stärken, kursiert eine Vielzahl von Vorschlägen, etwa der Ausbau von Fahrradwegen, wenn nötig auch auf Kosten des Autoverkehrs. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer Erhebung unter knapp 7000 Haushaltsvorständen aus dem Jahr 2018, mit der die Zustimmung zu derartigen Vorschlägen eruiert wurde. Die daraus resultierenden Ergebnisse sind zwiespältiger Natur. Einerseits stimmt beispielsweise die absolute Mehrheit von 69 % der Befragten für die Ausweisung von für Busse reservierter Fahrstreifen auf staubelasteten Straßen und knapp die Hälfte ist für Fahrverbote für Fahrzeuge, die Schadstoffgrenzwerte überschreiten. Andererseits ist die absolute Mehrheit von 57,3 % der Befragten gegen höhere Kosten für das Parken in Innenstädten und knapp die Hälfte lehnt ein Verbot von Fahrzeugen mit Verbrennungsmotor ab dem Jahr 2035 ab.
Entrepreneurial competences revised: developing a consolidated and categorized list of entrepreneurial competences
Authors: Tittel Alexander , Terzidis Orestis 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe goal of entrepreneurship education is to prepare students for entrepreneurial practice and to develop profound entrepreneurial competences. Due to the heterogeneity in definitions and competence frameworks in the field of entrepreneurship education, literature and practice still illustrate much confusion about what should be taught in academic entrepreneurship courses and which competences need to be developed. An in-depth review of entrepreneurial competences dates back to the year 2008 by Mitchtelmore and Rowley. The purpose of this paper is to review newer contributions and propose a synthesis of state-of-the-art by developing an updated entrepreneurial competence framework. Both, a consolidated categorization approach and a list of entrepreneurial competences are developed and suggested for educators for the development of academic courses and practice-oriented training programs.

The Ethics of Noncompete Clauses
Authors: Frye Harrison 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACTNoncompete clauses (NCCs), or agreements by employees to not work for a competitor or start a competing business, have recently faced increased public scrutiny and criticism. This article provides a qualified defense of NCCs. I focus on the argument that NCCs should be banned because they unfairly restrict the options of employees. I argue that this argument fails because it neglects the economist Thomas Schelling’s insight that limiting exit options can be beneficial for a person. This employee-based defense of NCCs does not absolve all their uses, but it does give us a rough test for evaluating the permissibility of NCCs. With this test in hand, I turn to some of the more controversial uses of NCCs. For those who weigh heavily the interests of employees, the question is not whether NCCs, but when.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe aim of this study was to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of invasive group A streptococcal infections in a geographic area that sees a high volume of cases.MethodsWe conducted a health records review of consecutive patients presenting to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre Emergency Department (ED) in 2016–2017 with a diagnosis of invasive group A streptococcal infection using ICD-10 codes. Patient demographics, host characteristics, triage vital signs, laboratory values, culture sites, and disposition were described using univariate and bivariate statistics.ResultsForty-four adult cases were identified over 2 years, with a median age of 44 years (interquartile range, 35–52). The most prevalent risk factors were diabetes mellitus (45%), current or previous alcohol abuse (39%), and current or previous intravenous drug use (34%). The two most abnormal triage vitals signs were a heart rate ≥ 100 beats per minute in 32 (73%) cases and a respiratory rate ≥ 20 breaths per minute in 27 (63%) cases. The temperature was ≥ 38°C in only 14 (32%) of cases. The C-reactive protein (CRP) was always elevated when measured, and greater than 150 mg/L in 20 (71%) of cases. One-third of patients had an ED visit in the preceding 7 days before the diagnosis of invasive group A Streptococcus.ConclusionsInvasive group A streptococcal infections often present insidiously in adult patients with mild tachycardia and tachypnea at triage. The CRP was the most consistently abnormal laboratory investigation.
