Lesen und Schreiben im digitalen Dickicht
Authors: Münzmay Andreas 
Published: June 2018

Zusammenfassung
Digitalisierung generiert ‚hybride‘ Objekte, die zwar als digitale Datei lesbar und manipulierbar sind, das zugrundeliegende kulturhistorische Objekt jedoch weiterhin ‚enthalten‘. Eine Bibliothek, die Objekte aus ihren Beständen digitalisiert, begründet also eigentlich keine sog. digitale Bibliothek, sondern eine hybride Bibliothek. Im Falle musikalischer Überlieferung ist die Sachlage aufgrund der medienhistorischen Komplexität musikalischer Artefakte besonders unübersichtlich. Verschärft wird die heutige Situation noch durch die Erzeugnisse der Digital Humanities, die keineswegs bloß ‚Informationen‘ sind, sondern ihrerseits komplexe und in der Regel hybride Textgebilde, die häufig komplette digitalisierte Re-Publikationen von Kulturobjekten einbinden, die digital ‚beschriftet‘ und vernetzt werden. Das digitale ‚Dickicht‘ erfordert einen gleichsam genetischen und relationalen Katalog, in dem die konkreten kulturhistorischen Objekte in ihren konkreten Sammlungskontexten – also als Unikate –Ankerfunktion haben.
Der Essay geht zurück auf einen Vortrag bei der AIBM-Jahrestagung, Symposium der AG Musikabteilungen an wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken, Detmold, 8. September 2016.

Why Do We Need a New Library Science
Authors: Lankes R. David 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
A Library is not just an information distributing machine and reading not its steam as the paradigm of the industrial age has seen it. Even the conception of the Library as Information Agency established in the 20th century does not meet any more the needs of our communities. In the age of data’ism the Library is not about Information as a thing and neutral IT infrastructures. It needs a more critical world view. Instead of data and information a new library science should focus on knowledge and knowing. The communities library serve are the true collections; librarians the weavers of community narratives and understandings.

Marginal Structural Models with Counterfactual Effect Modifiers
Authors: Zheng Wenjing , Luo Zhehui , van der Laan Mark J 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In health and social sciences, research questions often involve systematic assessment of the modification of treatment causal effect by patient characteristics. In longitudinal settings, time-varying or post-intervention effect modifiers are also of interest. In this work, we investigate the robust and efficient estimation of the Counterfactual-History-Adjusted Marginal Structural Model (van der Laan MJ, Petersen M. Statistical learning of origin-specific statically optimal individualized treatment rules. Int J Biostat. 2007;3), which models the conditional intervention-specific mean outcome given a counterfactual modifier history in an ideal experiment. We establish the semiparametric efficiency theory for these models, and present a substitution-based, semiparametric efficient and doubly robust estimator using the targeted maximum likelihood estimation methodology (TMLE, e.g. van der Laan MJ, Rubin DB. Targeted maximum likelihood learning. Int J Biostat. 2006;2, van der Laan MJ, Rose S. Targeted learning: causal inference for observational and experimental data, 1st ed. Springer Series in Statistics. Springer, 2011). To facilitate implementation in applications where the effect modifier is high dimensional, our third contribution is a projected influence function (and the corresponding projected TMLE estimator), which retains most of the robustness of its efficient peer and can be easily implemented in applications where the use of the efficient influence function becomes taxing. We compare the projected TMLE estimator with an Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighted estimator (e.g. Robins JM. Marginal structural models. In: Proceedings of the American Statistical Association. Section on Bayesian Statistical Science, 1-10. 1997a, Hernan MA, Brumback B, Robins JM. Marginal structural models to estimate the causal effect of zidovudine on the survival of HIV-positive men. Epidemiology. 2000;11:561–570), and a non-targeted G-computation estimator (Robins JM. A new approach to causal inference in mortality studies with sustained exposure periods - application to control of the healthy worker survivor effect. Math Modell. 1986;7:1393–1512.). The comparative performance of these estimators is assessed in a simulation study. The use of the projected TMLE estimator is illustrated in a secondary data analysis for the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial where effect modifiers are subject to missing at random.
Intelligent Requests Algorithm Based Scheduling and Efficient Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation to Improve QoS for EPONs
Authors: Kumar Ashok , Banga V. K. , Wason Amit 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The proposed traffic grooming methodology for long-reach-passive optical networks will decrease the latency in upstream. The scheduling and wavelength assignment for ethernet passive optical networks has been shown to perform much better in terms of delay. The dynamic traffic grooming algorithm based on intelligent water drop is proposed in which new depositions function has been introduced for efficient handling of bandwidth. Therefore, once equally distanced optical network units were scheduled on constant wavelengths, the void formation impact is reduced. The outcomes conjointly depict the result of the planned methodology on bandwidth utilization improvement and jitter by 1.46 and 408.66 µs improvements respectively, even overall latency is improved by 465.83 µs by value. These results depict the validity of the planned dynamic bandwidth allocation methodology for traffic grooming.
Augmented Reality Applied in Dietary Monitoring
Authors: Chanlin Lih-Juan , Chan Kung-Chi 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Recent advances in augmented reality (AR) have attracted much attention in nutrition and healthcare education. In the context of obtaining dietary knowledge, a mobile AR system was developed for learning and exploration, which allowed students to scan food images, receive information about nutrient content and record as well as accumulate daily nutrient intake. Students could also access learning materials provided in the system to achieve the learning objectives. Their learning outcomes were gathered at the close, with reactions to the learning experiences also assessed via a set of questionnaire items (using a 5 point Likert scale) in various criteria. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered, showing that most students achieved the learning objectives and were positive about exploring with AR. The results of this study indicated that students with high levels of monitoring had better learning outcomes (p<0.05) and were more positive about the varied criteria in their responses, including: visual interest and learning enjoyment, functional use, personal relevance and learning of knowledge (p<0.05). The effect of the self-participatory aspect of AR on learning is emphasized.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
During the last two decades or so we have witnessed unprecedented growth and expansion in higher education not only in the high income countries but in middle income and low income countries as well, Pakistan being no exception. In 2002 a new apex body, Higher Education Commission was established to manage affairs of higher education which adopted measures to improve the quality of higher education in the country. The HEC adopted a new framework and policy towards higher education and made strenuous efforts not only to bring quantitative expansion but to improve the quality of higher education in the country as well. Consequently, the academic community has witnessed an unprecedented expansion in higher education in terms of number of higher education institutions and its enrolment. One of the goals of Higher Education Commission was to develop research culture within the country and enhance research productivity of the universities and higher education institutions to help achieve the objectives of knowledge economy. This paper attempts to analyse the available data to assess the research productivity of Pakistani institutions of higher education, trends over the last decade or so in the number of articles produced and their citation index and to see what factors have contributed towards increasing the number of research articles, enhancing the visibility of research produced by Pakistani universities and identifying the most productive institutions in this regard. Results of the study may help in framing a policy and developing a strategy increase the research productivity of Pakistani institutions of higher education and improving its visibility and impact.
Diversity of primates and other mammals in the middle Purus basin in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: Sampaio Ricardo , Röhe Fábio , Rylands Anthony B. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractInformation on the wildlife of the middle and upper reaches of the Purus in Brazil is scarce, and this region is one of the major remaining gaps in our understanding of the distributions and population status of mammals in the Brazilian Amazon. In this paper, we present information on the diversity of mammals of the middle Purus, in the south of Amazonas State, Brazil. Based on rapid inventories in four protected areas, and line-transect censuses in one of them, we provide locality records that indicate expansions of the known range of six primate species and a squirrel. Species more frequently seen during censuses were small and mid-sized primates and rodents, while records of larger mammals, which are more sensitive to subsistence hunting, were infrequent or lacking. Deforestation in the area is relatively low, but the area is close to the so-called “arc of deforestation” that is moving north and west from the north of the state of Mato Grosso into the states of Acre and Amazonas. The middle and upper Purus basin has been little explored, but is far from pristine, and populations of most of the species that are vulnerable to forest degradation and hunting are already reduced, especially close to the major rivers.

Published: June 2018

AbstractBackgroundNanoparticles hold considerable promise for aerosol-based intraperitoneal delivery in patients with carcinomatosis. Recently, results from preclinical and early clinical trials suggested that albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABP, Abraxane™) may result in superior efficacy in the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) compared to the standard solvent-based paclitaxel formulation (Taxol™). Here, we propose a phase I study of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) using ABP in patients with upper Gastrointestinal, breast, or ovarian cancer.MethodsEligible patients with advanced, biopsy-proven PM from ovarian, breast, gastric, hepatobiliary, or pancreatic origin will undergo three PIPAC treatments using ABP with a 4-week interval. The dose of ABP will be escalated from 35 to 140 mg/m² using a Bayesian approach until the maximally tolerated dose is determined. The primary end point is dose-limiting toxicity. Secondary analyses include surgical morbidity, non-access rate, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses, quality of life, and exploratory circulating biomarker analyses.DiscussionABP holds considerable promise for intraperitoneal aerosol delivery. The aim of this study is to determine the dose level for future randomized phase II trials using ABP in PIPAC therapy.Trial registrationThis trial is registered as EudraCT: 2017-001688-20 and Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03304210.
A multimodal approach to the analysis of gender stereotypes in contemporary British TV commercials: “women and men at work”
Authors: Rubio Milagros Del Saz 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The aim of this article is to examine the meaning potential of images in the enactment or creation of gender stereotypes in a corpus of contemporary British TV commercials. The dimensions outlined in Goffman (1979) and some aspects of Kress and van Leeuwen’s (1996, 2006) metafunctions are taken as a starting point to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse a sample of 155 ads which depict women and men in working settings. Findings indicate that women are mainly portrayed in non-remunerated scenarios, in home settings and in the company of their children. This view is reinforced thanks to the multimodal dimensions of framing (mostly through close-ups), involvement with other participants through looks, smiling and profuse touching activity. Men, in contrast, are mostly depicted in remunerated scenarios in which they address the audience directly through demand looks, acting as experts in their professional capacity and framed with medium and long shots. When portrayed together in non-remunerated activities, men are found in family scenes, although they are sometimes portrayed as passive subjects and mere objects of contemplation through lack of interaction with children or spouses. This contrasts with women’s more communal role as they are intimately depicted in the company of their children through close-ups, feminine touch, and constant interaction with them. Stereotyped portrayals are less visually patent when both men and women are simultaneously depicted in remunerated scenarios, although some ads emphasize women’s interpersonal skills as better at talking to customers or patients, whereas men are shown in the role of experts in financial and medical issues.
Cross-dialectal analysis of English pitch range in male voices and its influence on aesthetic judgments of speech
Authors: Malarski Kamil , Jekiel Mateusz 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis study focuses on the differences in pitch register and pitch span across five accents of English, and investigates their potential effects on judgements of speech. We recorded two male middle-aged speakers for each of the following accents of English: Brighton, Manchester, Perth, New Jersey and Edmonton. Then, we modified pitch register in selected spontaneous speech recordings by raising the overall pitch in the recordings by 5 Hz and 15 Hz using Praat. The entire material was then randomized and prepared for an online survey. A group of 50 respondents (30 female, 20 male) who were non-native speakers of English were asked in a blind study to evaluate both the unmodified and modified recordings on a 7-point Likert scale in terms of their perceived attractiveness, friendliness, prestige and self-confidence. Overall, it has been found that pitch span can be a telling cue when evaluating perceived friendliness for both gender groups, while pitch register can affect male listeners in evaluating attractiveness and self-confidence. Finally, it seems that there is a an upper limit for what listeners can aesthetically accept in terms of pitch register, as the recordings with highest registers were disfavored by our respondents.
Multiple sclerosis pathogenesis: missing pieces of an old puzzle
Authors: Rahmanzadeh Reza , Brück Wolfgang , Minagar Alireza , Sahraian Mohammad Ali 
Published: June 2018

AbstractTraditionally, multiple sclerosis (MS) was considered to be a CD4 T cell-mediated CNS autoimmunity, compatible with experimental autoimmune encephalitis model, which can be characterized by focal lesions in the white matter. However, studies of recent decades revealed several missing pieces of MS puzzle and showed that MS pathogenesis is more complex than the traditional view and may include the following: a primary degenerative process (e.g. oligodendroglial pathology), generalized abnormality of normal-appearing brain tissue, pronounced gray matter pathology, involvement of innate immunity, and CD8 T cells and B cells. Here, we review these findings and discuss their implications in MS pathogenesis.

Integrating the fluorene substructure into azaacenes: syntheses of novel fluorophores
Authors: Jakobi Dörthe , Schumann André , Beckert Rainer 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In this study, we report on the syntheses of novel angular fused azaacenes. For this purpose, the synthesis of the bis-diamine 2 (TABEF) could be shortened and optimized. The condensation reaction of 2 with different types of 1,2-diketones yielded new azaacene derivatives of types 10, 11 and 12. Analogously, 2 was cyclized with thionyl chloride to give the piazthiol derivative 13. The optical and electrochemical properties of all new compounds were investigated by UV/Vis absorption, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclovoltammetric measurements.

Abstract
Self-fluxing nickel-base alloys containing chromium, silicon, boron, and carbon (NiCrSiB) are widely used in industry because of their unique properties. In this study, various amounts of niobium (Nb) powder (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt. %) were added to the self-fluxing powder of an NiCrSiB system in order to obtain more wear-resistant and dense material by using the technology of spark plasma sintering (SPS). SPS of the powder blends was carried out by the SPS 10-4 apparatus (Advanced Technologies, Newport News, VA). The structure and phase composition of the sintered materials were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. This study gives details of porosity and microhardness measurements as well as tribological tests under the friction on the fixed abrasive particles’ conditions. This study demonstrates that phases (the central region of which is niobium carbide) are formed at the interfaces and in the junctions between the self-fluxing powder particles. The addition of Nb contributes to the decrease of porosity and the increase of wear resistance.

Authors: See Valene H.L. , Mori Trevor A. , Prescott Susan L. , Beilin Lawrence J. , Burrows Sally , Huang Rae-Chi 
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND:Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LCPUFA) supplementation during infancy may reduce adult cardiovascular risk as observed in animals. We assessed the effect of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation in infancy on growth, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors at 5 years of age.METHODS:Infants were randomly assigned to a daily supplement of n-3 LCPUFA or olive oil (control) from birth to 6 months (n = 420). Measurements included weight, length, cord blood adipokines at birth and anthropometry, skinfolds, blood pressure, heart rate, fasting blood adipokines, and biochemistry at 5 years.RESULTS:The infants who received n-3 LCPUFA had a smaller waist circumference at 5 years (coefficient: 1.1 cm; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01 to 2.14), which remained significant after adjustments for confounders (coefficient: 0.8 cm; 95% CI: 0.19 to 1.30). Five-year-old boys who received n-3 LCPUFA supplementation as infants had a 21% reduction in insulin concentrations (ratio: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.66 to 0.94) and a 22% reduction in insulin resistance (ratio: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.95) compared with the control group. There were no other differences in growth and cardiometabolic risk factors between the groups for the whole cohort at birth, 2.5, or 5 years.CONCLUSIONS:Supplementation with n-3 LCPUFA in infancy revealed a reduction in waist circumference at 5 years. Boys in the n-3 LCPUFA group showed reduced insulin concentrations and insulin resistance at 5 years, which may have beneficial outcomes for later health. No effects were seen in girls. Longer term follow-up of the cohort is warranted to determine whether these differences are maintained into adolescence.
