Geschlechterungleichheit in Erwerbsorganisationen
Authors: Busch-Heizmann Anne , Rastetter Daniela , Rinke Timothy 
Published: April 2018

Zusammenfassung
Auf dem Arbeitsmarkt existieren nach wie vor bestimmte soziale Ungleichheiten zwischen Frauen und Männern, etwa im Hinblick auf die Verortung in unterschiedlichen Berufen und hierarchischen Positionen sowie Verdienste. Andockend an die bisherige Forschung, fragen wir nach der Rolle von Betrieben bei der Generierung geschlechtsspezifischer Arbeitsmarktchancen. Bei dieser Forschungsfrage betrachten wir zum einen „egalitäre“ betriebliche Strukturen (Maßnahmen zur Geschlechtergleichstellung und zur Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf, eine paritätische Geschlechterdemografie im Betrieb und in dessen Leitungspositionen, betriebliche Formalisierung der Beschäftigungspolitik) und ihren Einfluss auf geschlechterbezogene soziale Ungleichheiten. Zum anderen wird, unter Bezugnahme auf den Neo-Institutionalismus, diskutiert, inwieweit sich jene „egalitären“ Strukturen in der Betriebskultur bzw. in der subjektiven Wahrnehmung der Strukturen niederschlagen. Ein besonderes Ziel liegt darin, mögliche Ambivalenzen zwischen positiven und negativen Auswirkungen „egalitärer“ Betriebsstrukturen aufzudecken. Aufbauend auf diese Überlegungen wird auf den weiteren Forschungsstand aufmerksam gemacht, mit dem es möglich ist, eine solche Verschränkung von „Struktur“ und „Kultur“ und ihre Auswirkungen auf geschlechterbezogene soziale Ungleichheiten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zu untersuchen.
The Narrative Rhetoric in Léa Silhol’s La Tisseuse: Contes de Fées, contes de Failles
Authors: Chen Fanfan 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The diversity of contemporary French narration renders the canonicaldefinition of le fantastique useless. Writers challenge Todorov’s definition thatthe fantastic emerges as the reader hesitates between the supernatural and thenatural explanation for the unlikely event. Léa Silhol (1967), a storyteller ofmythic-poetic-fantastic style, figures among these writers. An inheritor of romanticfantastic storytelling, Silhol delves into the mental and psychic depth oflegendary figures, mostly goddesses and fairies, to make them question theirown identity and observe humans from their perspective. Her feminine anduniversal writing about the fantastic exemplifies the new-generation Frenchfantastic. Like the mythic tisseuse in her tales, Silhol weaves stories with a newtexture, with an imaginary étoffe. Just as the mythic and legendary weavers areassociated with water, she makes use of it to achieve her verbal alchemy, thenarrative rhetoric of which operates from three angles: mythic, structural, andstylistic. Silhol’s transtextual writing of myths from different cultures createsmythic résonance of the collective unconscious from linguistic différance. Thenarrative structure of the tales embodies the inversion of vision in Bachelardianalchemy of the imagination. Lastly, a scrupulous analysis of the author’s dictionthat corresponds with the thematic threading of tales and their narrative structurewill illustrate her dominant style of harmonism.
Subliminale Modernität
Authors: Hajduk Stefan 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Is self-reflexivity, as is often maintained, a structural characteristic of literary modernity? To what extent does self-reflexivity provide a specifically modern as well as qualitative criterion which helps to distinguish between aesthetically experimental texts and less advanced ones? Proceeding from a problematization of the concept of modernity, I explore these questions with reference to E.T.H. Hofmann‘s Prinzessin Brambilla. Labelled a ‚Capriccio,‘ the narrative unfolds as an arabesque, in which subjectivity and textuality constitute each other, so that personal as well as semantic identity appear to be multiple. Just as the mythic ‚mirror brightness‘ of the well Udar releases from the constraint of being identical with oneself by transfiguring the „I“ into a reflexive medium of alterity which is sensually perceivable, so the narrative dynamics of the text lead one to produce a reading of it as a figuration of transgression. The thematic analysis leads to a transgression of self-reflexivity, which – on the level of form – is made comprehensible as a narratological transgression. The pluralisation of the I, which is narratively staged through the mirroring of the main character in others, corresponds also with the theatrical self-image of the actor. All in all it is evident that Hoffmann’s narrating en abîme organizes a dimension of the aesthetics of the text as well as of its reception, in which the literary dissolution of the Self gives way to reflexions of reading devoid of a subject. The innovative aspect of this study is the insight it provides into the dynamics of transgression inherent to the binarity of self-reflexivity. Only a poetologically transgressive self-reflexivity qualifies it to be a distinguishing criterion of literary modernity. In taking the aesthetic structures of subjectivity to the threshhold of their deconstitution, this poetically configured subliminality conveys a specifically modern sense of crisis.
Glycolide/L-Lactide Copolymer (PGLA) Fibers Formed by Wet Spinning from Solution and Modified with Ceramic Nanoadditives

Published: April 2018

AbstractThe paper presents the results of research into glycolide/L-lactide copolymer (PGLA) fiber formation by wet spinning from solution. The selected process conditions led to fibers with a specific tensile strength of more than 35 cN/tex. Furthermore, ceramic nanoadditives such as hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) were used to obtain fibers with osteoconductive properties. It was found that the ceramic nanoadditives reduced the specific strength of fibers (to 24 cN/tex for β-TCP and to 27 cN/tex for HAp). The paper also presents wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) evaluation of the supramolecular structure of the fibers as well as their porosity parameters and microscopic structure. The obtained fibers were woven into a textile fabric with potential applications in biomedical engineering.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Despite enormous progress in molecular analysis of cancer cell genomes, the mechanism of tumorigenesis remains unclear. The information present in the genome is not limited to the DNA sequence itself. Indeed, a significant portion of this information is concealed in the spatial structure of chromatin. Ongoing scientific studies that focus on the three-dimensional structure of chromatin raise hopes of arriving at a general explanation of the cancer transformation phenomenon.
Open Access: Wissenschaft, Verlage und Bibliotheken in der digitalen Transformation des Publikationswesens
Authors: Mittler Elmar 
Published: April 2018

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag zeigt wie das traditionelle Wechselspiel von Kommodifizierung und Dekommodifizierung wissenschaftlicher Publikationen zwischen Verlagen und Bibliotheken im analogen Zeitalter im Zuge der Digitalisierung sich verändert hat. Der Versuch der Open-Access-Bewegung, Auswüchse der Kommodifizierung zu begrenzen, wurde trotz des erfolgreichen Aufbaus einer weltweiten Open-Access-Infrastruktur durch die Kommerzialisierung auch des Open-Access-Publizierens insbesondere durch internationale Großverlage unterlaufen. Um das für die digitale Transformation der wissenschaftlichen Forschung unverzichtbare Open-Access-Publizieren zu sichern, wird von Konsortien der wissenschaftlichen Community wie SCOAP und DEAL sowie finanzierenden Institutionen wie JISC versucht, mit neuen Finanzierungsmodellen angemessene Kostenstrukturen auch für das Open-Access-Publizieren bei kommerziellen Verlagen zu erreichen. Dabei könnte sich die Umstellung auf den Goldenen Weg des Open-Access-Publizierens als Chance der Verlage erweisen, die Existenz von Publikationsbörsen wie Sci-Hub oder Library Genesis erfolgreich zu eliminieren.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Worldwide, chronic wounds are still a major and increasing problem area in medicine with protracted suffering of patients and enormous costs. Beside conventional wound treatment, for instance kinds of oxygen therapy and cold plasma technology have been tested, providing an improvement in the perfusion of wounds and their healing potential, but these methods are unfortunately not sufficiently validated and accepted for clinical practice to date. Using hyperspectral imaging technology in the visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR) region with high spectral and spatial resolution, perfusion parameters of tissue and wounds can be determined. We present a new compact hyperspectral camera which can be used in clinical practice. From hyperspectral data the hemoglobin oxygenation (StO2), the relative concentration of hemoglobin [tissue hemoglobin index (THI)] and the so-called NIR-perfusion index can be determined. The first two parameters are calculated from the VIS-part of the spectrum and represent the perfusion of superficial tissue layers, whereas the NIR-perfusion index is calculated from the NIR-part representing the perfusion in deeper layers. First clinical measurements of transplanted flaps and chronic ulcer wounds show, that the perfusion level can be determined quantitatively allowing sensitive evaluation and monitoring for an optimization of the wound treatment planning and for validation of new treatment methods.
Selective screening: isolation of fungal strains from contaminated soils in Austria
Authors: Poyntner Caroline , Prem Max , Mann Oliver , Blasi Barbara , Sterflinger Katja 
Published: April 2018

SummaryMicroorganisms are potent contributors to maintaining a safe environment as they are able to degrade organic toxicants. For environmental applications, mostly bacteria are used while fungal strains have received less attention. However, they are able to degrade highly persistent organic contaminants and survive extreme conditions, and may thus be promising organisms. To find new fungal candidates for these applications, twelve soil samples from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated sites in Austria were used to isolate fungal strains. A microplate screening method using PAH contaminated soil as inoculant was set up to isolate fungal strains being able to live in presence of toluene, hexadecane, or polychlorinated biphenyl 126. Not many microbial strains are known that degrade these three contaminants, while the PAH contamination acted as selective pressure for the soil microbiota. After obtaining pure cultures, the fungal strains were further screened for their ability to live in the presence of one of the three contaminant substrates. The potential for technical application of the 11 best performing strains, identified using ITS and 18S rDNA, is discussed. The presented microtiter plate screening method is a cost efficient and quick approach to identify fungal strains for pollutant degradation and results in candidates with a high relevance for bioremediation techniques.
Do cover crops enhance soil greenhouse gas losses during high emission moments under temperate Central Europe conditions?
Authors: Bodner Gernot , Mentler Axel , Klik Andreas , Kaul Hans-Peter , Zechmeister-Boltenstern Sophie 
Published: April 2018

SummaryCover cropping is a key agro-environmental measure in Europe. Cover crops may reduce N2O emissions by reducing soil nitrate content, while easily decomposable residues can enhance greenhouse gas losses. In a field study, emissions from the cover cropped fields compared to the fallow at two climatically different sites (semi-arid vs. humid) in Austria were measured with closed chambers and different driving factors were studied. The height of post-cover crop emissions was compared to gaseous losses during the management operations in the subsequent main crop maize. N2O and CO2emissions following the cover crops were low even at high emission moments compared to the losses induced by the main crop management operations. Highest risk of N2O losses was from mustards due to low C/N ratio and possibly as a consequence of glucosinolate decomposition. CO2emissions in the cover cropped plots were generally higher compared to the fallow, indicating an enhanced soil microbiological activity. Dissolved organic carbon was found as a sensitive indicator related to the greenhouse gas emissions. We concluded that the environmental benefits from cover cropping are not achieved at the cost of an enhanced greenhouse gas emission and that pure stands of late sown brassica cover crops should be avoided to prevent any risk of increased N2O losses.

Abstract

Background:
We evaluated the clinical performance of the Minicare cardiac troponin-I (cTnI), a new point-of-care (POC) cTnI test for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a prospective, multicentre study (ISRCTN77371338).

Methods:
Of 474 patients (≥18 years) admitted to an emergency department (ED) or chest pain unit (CPU) with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS; ≤12 h from symptom onset), 465 were eligible. Minicare cTnI was tested immediately, 3 h and 6 h after presentation. AMI diagnoses were adjudicated independently based on current guidelines.

Results:
The diagnostic performance of the Minicare cTnI test at 3 h was similar for whole blood and in plasma: sensitivity 0.92 vs. 0.90; specificity 0.91 vs. 0.90; positive predictive value (PPV) 0.68 vs. 0.66; negative predictive value (NPV) 0.98 vs. 0.98; positive likelihood ratio (LR+) 10.18 vs. 9.41; negative likelihood ratio (LR–) 0.09 vs. 0.11. The optimal diagnostic performance was obtained at 3 h using cut-offs cTnI >43 ng/L plus cTnI change from admission ≥18.5 ng/L: sensitivity 0.90, specificity 0.96, PPV 0.81, NPV 0.98, and LR+ 21.54. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve for cTnI whole blood baseline value and absolute change after 3 h curve was 0.93.

Conclusions:
These data support the clinical usefulness of Minicare cTnI within a 0 h/3 h-blood sampling protocol supported by current guidelines for the evaluation of suspected ACS.
Observational studies on macroprolactin in a routine clinical laboratory
Authors: Barth Julian H. , Lippiatt Carys M. , Gibbons Stephen G. , Desborough Robert A. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract

Background:
It is now recommended that all samples with raised prolactin should be examined for the presence of macroprolactin. We performed a retrospective review of our experience of macroprolactin to determine the incidence and the natural history of macroprolactin.

Methods:
A retrospective study of macroprolactin was made in a large clinical laboratory. Macroprolactin was measured on those samples where it is requested and where the total prolactin is >1000 mIU/L. Prolactin was measured using the Siemens Centaur and macroprolactin was measured following polyethylene glycol (PEG)-precipitation.

Results:
The incidence of macroprolactin in samples where the total prolactin was >1000 mIU/L was 36/670 (5.4%). During this period, 12,064 samples were received for prolactin analysis. Over the period since 2006, 22 subjects had a sample with an isolated macroprolactin measurement followed by another sample without macroprolactin after a median period of 0.46 years. Twenty-five subjects had multiple consecutive measurements of macroprolactin lasting a median period of 2.1 years. Fourteen subjects had more than six samples which had been subjected to PEG precipitation. In these subjects, the reproducibility of PEG precipitation over a median of 6 years was 1.1% CV (recovery 75% [26–110] (median [range])).

Conclusions:
The presence of macroprolactin can change over time and we cannot advise that once a test for macroprolactinemia has been performed that it is not necessary to repeat the investigation if a subsequent sample is hyperprolactinemic; nor can one assume that macroprolactin will not develop even if it has been excluded previously.
Assessment of TGF-β and IL10 levels in human brucellosis
Authors: Mohammadnia-Afrouzi Mousa , Ebrahimpour Soheil 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The recent study assessed TGF-β and IL-10 as immunosuppressive cytokines of the cell
mediated immunity (CMI) against Brucella in the serum of some brucellosis patients.
Serum from 15 patients and 15 healthy individuals were obtained, and then cytokine
concentrations above were investigated. Concentrations of TGF-β induced in the serum of
acute patients (89.73 ± 15.55 ng/ml) were higher than healthy group (58.86 ± 17.89 ng/ml,
P < 0.0001). While, no significant differences were found in the concentration of IL-10
between two groups. Based upon the findings of our study, the contribution of these
cytokines to the pathobiology of infection had been shown. Therefore, assessment of
immunosuppressive cytokines as TGF-β and IL-10 levels may be a potential diagnostic
strategy for patients with brucellosis.
Rationale for naphazoline effects in-depth study
Authors: Kuzminov Borys , Turkina Vira , Кuzminov Yuriy 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis article presents a retrospective review of data on side effects of drugs containing naphazoline and data on toxicity of the agent when entered the body via different pathways. Most publications on clinical signs of possible naphazoline-associated side effects are lacking thorough analysis of possible causes. Limited data on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug led to various complications after its administration. Therefore, further studies on naphazoline content dynamics or products of its biotransformation in biological substrates and determination of half-life of the agent must be conducted. This will allow establishingsafe levels for different exposure pathways and harmful levels of the naphazoline with respect to its material accumulation. It should be noted that scientific publications contain controversial data regarding allergenic potential of the agent. Possible side effects of the drug on the reproductionand development are not revealed. Determination of effects the products containing naphazoline may have on immune and reproductive system is an important part of the research.
ΔP as a measure of collocation strength
Authors: Schneider Ulrike 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis paper explores the proposed benefits of ΔP (delta P) as a measure of collocation strength. Its focus is on contrasting ΔP with other, more commonly used, association measures, particularly transitional probabilities, but also mutual information and Lexical Gravity G. To this end, first the strong correlation between ΔP and transitional probability is illustrated with the help of two exemplary corpora. This is followed by an analysis of hesitation placement in spontaneous spoken English, based on the assumption that hesitations will not be placed within strong collocations. Results show that, despite their strong similarity, in some contexts ΔP is more predictive of hesitation placement than transitional probability. Yet neither ΔP nor any of the other association measures emerges as the universally best predictor. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that studies should always rely on several association measures.
What we talk about when we talk about corpus frequency: The example of polysemous verbs with light and concrete senses
Authors: Mehl Seth 
Published: April 2018

AbstractGilquin (2008, What you think ain’t what you get: Highly polysemous verbs in mind and language. In Jean-Remi Lapaire, Guillaume Desagulier & Jean-Baptiste Guignard (eds.),From gram to mind: Grammar as cognition, 235–255. Bordeaux: Presse Universitaires de Bordeaux) reported that light uses of verbs (e.g.make use) tend to outnumber concrete uses of the same verbs (e.g.make furniture) in corpora, whereas concrete senses tend to outnumber light senses in responses to elicitation tests. The differences between corpus frequency and cognitive salience remain an important and much-discussed question (cf. Arppe et al. 2010, Cognitive corpus linguistics: Five points of debate on current theory and methodology.Corpora5(1). 1–27). The question is particularly complicated because bothcorpus frequencyandcognitive salienceare difficult to define, and are often left undefined. Operationalising and defining corpus frequencies are the issues at the heart of the present paper, which includes a close, manual semantic analysis of nearly 6,000 instances of three polysemous verbs with light and concrete uses,make, take, andgive, in the British component of the International Corpus of English. The paper compares semasiological frequencies like those measured by Gilquin (2008) to onomasiological frequency measurements (cf. Geeraerts 1997,Diachronic prototype semantics: A contribution to historical lexicology. Oxford: Clarendon Press). Methodologically, the paper demonstrates that these approaches address fundamentally different research questions, and offer dramatically different results. Findings indicate that corpus frequencies in speech may correlate with elicitation test results, if the corpus frequencies are measured onomasiologically rather than semasiologically; I refer to Geeraerts’s (2010,Theories of lexical semantics. Oxford: Oxford University Press) hypothesis ofonomasiological saliencein explaining this observation.
Corrosion behaviour of stainless steel reinforcement in concrete
Authors: Lollini Federica , Carsana Maddalena , Gastaldi Matteo , Redaelli Elena 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn Europe, stainless steel rebars have been used since the mid-80s, whilst in North America, their use has been progressively growing only since the mid-90s. Due to their higher resistance to corrosion in comparison to ordinary black steel bars, they have been employed in a wide number of applications worldwide to achieve the durability performance of reinforced concrete structures, especially in extremely corrosive marine environments or when long service lives are required. In this paper, a state of the art on the corrosion resistance of stainless steel bars is reported. In particular, the contribution of Professor Luca Bertolini in this research field is considered. Initially, different testing methods are presented to point out their advantages and limitations and then the results on corrosion behaviour of different grades of stainless steel bars (i.e. austenitic, ferritic and duplex), obtained especially with tests in concrete, are analysed. Afterwards, some of the recent applications of stainless steel bars are illustrated.
