SummaryHistamine and orexins are wake promoters released by hypothalamic neurons. The activity of histamine neurons is increased by orexin neurons. Recently, it has been shown that orexin deficiency entails high‐amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep and cataplexy in narcoleptic mice. The primary aim of this study was to assess whether histamine system is involved in high‐amplitude theta wave burst generation during rapid eye movement sleep. The secondary aim was to assess the effects of combined histamine and orexin deficiency on high‐amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep in mice. Twelve histidine‐decarboxylase knockout mice with congenital histamine deficiency, seven double mutant mice with combined deficiency of orexin neurons and histamine, and 11 wild‐type control mice were studied with electrodes for sleep recordings and a telemetric blood pressure transducer. High‐amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep were detected in each of the histidine‐decarboxylase knockout and double mutant mice, whereas only one burst was found in a wild‐type control mouse. High‐amplitude theta wave bursts occurred significantly more often and were significantly longer in double mutant than in histidine‐decarboxylase knockout mice. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that, similarly to orexin, the chronic impairment of histamine entailed high‐amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep. The current data also suggested a synergistic role of orexin and histamine signalling on high‐amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep in mice.
Recent Developments in Measuring Creep Strain in High Temperature Plant Components
Authors: Narayanan A. , Maharaj C. , Kelly M. , Morris A. , Davies C. M. , Dear J. P. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractAccurate measurements of creep strain are necessary to evaluate the condition and predict the remaining life of power plant constituent materials. Optical techniques are appropriate for this purpose as they are a non‐contact method and can therefore be used to measure strain without requiring direct access to the surface. Within this class of techniques, the Auto‐Reference Creep Management And Control (ARCMAC) camera system can be used to calculate the strain between two points using a series of silicon nitride (SiN) target spheres (the ARCMAC gauge). There are two iterations in system design, the Conventional ARCMAC and Digital Single‐Lens Reflex (DSLR) ARCMAC.Experiments are conducted to determine the absolute limit of accuracy of the systems in comparison to a strain gauge, and the relative accuracy across several orders of magnitude until specimen failure. In addition, tests have been performed using the ARCMAC gauge at elevated temperatures to evaluate the effect of temperature on the gauges and to investigate whether its accuracy diminishes in creep conditions.It was found that both conventional and DSLR ARCMAC systems can be accurate to 60 με or less. In accelerated creep tests, the ARCMAC gauge produced similar agreement to a linear variable displacement transducer when used to measure creep strain. Strain variations (under 500 με) were noted on a steel plate subjected only to operational temperature and no stress. This error is very reasonable compared to a critical strain value of 93 000 με in a given high temperature‐service material. Digital image correlation (DIC) results using the DSLR ARCMAC system show approximately 4% error in measurement for plastic strains in the specimen. The two measures of strain measurement (using ARCMAC and DIC) can serve to complement each other.

Do labral tears influence poor outcomes after periacetabular osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia?
Authors: Hagio T. , Naito M. , Nakamura Y. , Muraoka K. 
Published: May 2016

AimsAcetabular dysplasia is frequently associated with intra-articular pathology such as labral tears, but whether labral tears should be treated at the time of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic corrections of PAO for acetabular dysplasia between patients with and without labral tears pre-operatively.Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 70 hips in 67 patients with acetabular dysplasia who underwent PAO. Of 47 hips (45 patients) with labral tears pre-operatively, 27 (25 patients) underwent PAO alone, and were classified as the labral tear alone (LT) group, and 20 (20 patients) underwent combined PAO and osteochondroplasty, and were classified as the labral tear osteochondroplasty (LTO) group. The non-labral tear (NLT) group included 23 hips in 22 patients.ResultsThere were no significant differences between groups for post-operative Harris hip scores, degree of progression of osteoarthritis or rate of reoperation. The pre-operative alpha angle was significantly larger in the LTO group compared with the other groups (p < 0.0001).ConclusionPAO provides equivalent short-term relief of pain and functional outcome in patients with or without labral tears. The rate of progression of osteoarthritis and reoperation was not significantly increased in patients with labral tears. Take home message: PAO provides equivalent short-term pain relief and functional outcomes in patients with acetabular dysplasia with and without labral tears. We did not find significantly increased risks of progression of osteoarthritis or re-operation in those with labral tears. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:741–6.

We study the coefficients of a natural basis for the space of harmonic weak Maass forms of weight

The non-holomorphic part of the first element of this infinite basis encodes the values of the partition function

We show that the coefficients of these harmonic Maass forms are given by traces of singular invariants.
These are values of non-holomorphic modular functions at CM points or their real quadratic analogues: cycle integrals of such functions along geodesics on the modular curve.
The real quadratic case relates to recent work of Duke, Imamoḡlu, and Tóth on cycle integrals of the j-function, while the imaginary quadratic case recovers the algebraic formula of Bruinier and Ono for the partition function.
»Ich bin nicht ich, Gast bin ich«: Zum frühen Werk Mechtilde Lichnowskys
Authors: Stamm Ulrike 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
In this essay the early work of the by now forgotten German author Mechtilde Lichnowsky (1879-1958) is analyzed. Reasons for her elision from literary memory are her sex and her resistance to the Nazi regime. Between 1912 and 1958 Lichnowsky wrote 18 books (novels, dramas, poems and essays).The main feature of her work is a critique of all kinds of normative regulations of society, which she attacked in the figure of the expert in her novel Der Kampf mit dem Fachmann. Only in her second novel Geburt, which is analysed in detail, does she connect this critique towards the gender stereotypes of her time. Demonstrating the dissociation of a female protagonist caused by the restrictive view of women as non-creative she also attempts to develop alternative models of female subjectivity linked to nature.
»Ich liebe die Klarheit und die Frische«: Die dekadente Dichterin Renée Vivien
Authors: Lehnert Gertrud 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
At first sight, Renée Vivien seems a rather conservative poet in the French fin-de-siècle decadent tradition. Her modernity lies precisely in the clash between traditional forms usually used by male poets (Alexandrine, Sapphic stanza), traditional contents (melancholy, »mal de vivre« and unhappy love) and a completely new perspective: a female voice talking about her love to other women, celebrating feminine beauty and satirically mocking male ugliness and mediocrity - and reflecting on the possibilities and limits of female authorship in a patriarchal literary culture.
Eine Bemerkung zur reduzierten Form rekursiver Modelle / Note on the Reduced Form of Recursive Models
Authors: Schneeweiß Hans 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Die für Prognosen wichtige reduzierte Form eines ökonometrischen Modells läßt sich auf zweierlei Weise schätzen: entweder direkt nach der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate oder indirekt durch Schätzung der Strukturform des Modells und nachträgliche Auflösung nach den endogenen Variablen. Der zweite Weg führt zu asymptotisch besseren Schätzungen, falls die Strukturform asymptotisch effizient geschätzt wird. Liegt die Strukturform als rekursives Modell vor, dann kann sie schon mittels der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate effizient geschätzt werden. In diesem Fall ist die indirekt gewonnene Schätzung der reduzierten Form nicht nur asymptotisch, sondern - unter einer Zusatzannahme - auch für kleine Stichproben im Vergleich zur direkten Schätzung effizient. Für dieses schon bei Kozák (1988) und allgemein bei Schneeweiß (1996) bewiesene Ergebnis wird ein neuer Beweis geliefert. Zugleich wird auf ein ökonometrisches Beispiel bei Gollnick (1957) verwiesen.
International Investment and Exchange Rate Risk: An Experimental Analysis / Eine experimentelle Untersuchung zur internationalen Vermögensdiversifikation
Authors: Rötheli Tobias F. 
Published: May 2016

Summary
The experimental evidence gathered in this study indicates that a preference for domestic investments exists even under fixed exchange rates and in the absence of factors commonly understood to give rise to asymmetric portfolios. Adding exchange rate risk does not - contrary to theory - induce many individuals to hold more domestic assets. Non-professional investors in particular are prone to make choices at variance with the normative theory. This is traced back to misjudgments concerning the available risk-return trade-offs. It is also documented that flexibility of the exchange rate induces economic losses through inefficient portfolio choice. This even holds in a situation where exchange rate risk can be avoided by costless hedging.
Editorial
Authors: Lampert Heinz 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Das Editorial skizziert Grundlinien sozialstaatlicher Entwicklung seit 1948 und begründet die Absicht der Herausgeber, angesichts der anhaltenden und sich verschärfenden Krise des Sozialstaats durch ein Schwerpunktheft der Jahrbücher zur Diagnose und Therapie der Sozialstaatskrise beizutragen. Ausgehend von der Auffassung, daß angesichts einer schon gegenwärtig zu hohen Sozialabgabenquote die durch die Massenarbeitslosigkeit und die fortschreitende Überalterung der Bevölkerung entstehenden zusätzlichen finanziellen Aufwendungen des Systems sozialer Sicherung nur durch einen Umbau des Sozialstaates bewältigt werden können, wurden Experten gebeten, für einen bestimmten sozialpolitischen Bereich die Bedeutung und Dringlichkeit der sozialen Probleme darzustellen und die verfolgten Ziele, die Effektivität und die Effizienz der Maßnahmen sowie Möglichkeiten und Grenzen sozialstaatlicher Reformen zu beurteilen.
Kritik internationaler Empfehlungen zur Indexformel für Preisindizes in der amtlichen Statistik / A Critique of International Recommendations Concerning Price Index Formulas
Authors: Lippe Peter von der 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Die Arbeit behandelt vor dem Hintergrund von Anforderungen an amtliche Preisindizes vor allem zwei Gegenstände:
1. die Kontroverse über den US-Verbraucherpreisindex auf Basis der kaum kritisch hinterfragten und nicht selten auch mißverstandenen „ökonomischen Theorie der Indexzahlen", und
2. die unglückselige Empfehlung des SNA 93 zugunsten von Kettenindizes als Inflationsmaße und zur Deflationierung des Sozialprodukts und die Bevorzugung der Formel des „Idealindexes" von I. Fisher.
Gemeinsam ist in beiden Punkten die Neigung, das Prinzip des reinen Preisvergleichs über Bord zu werfen zugunsten zweifelhafter Kriterien mathematischer Eleganz. Gerade bei einer Anwendung in der amtlichen Preisstatistik zeigt sich aber, daß nicht solche formale Kriterien, sondern ganz andere vorrangig beachtet werden sollten.
Parental Background and Earnings: German Evidence on Direct and Indirect Relationships
Authors: Cornelissen Thomas , Jirjahn Uwe , Tsertsvadze Georgi 
Published: May 2016

Summary
Using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP), the study analyzes the direct and indirect effects of parental background on employees' earnings. To examine indirect effects we estimate the determinants of the employees' years of schooling. In a second step, we run wage regressions to examine direct effects. Our results suggest that the direct and indirect effects of parental background driving the intergenerational correlation of socioeconomic status are complex. It is not only important to differentiate between mother's and father's education. It is also important to take into account other parental characteristics such as maternal labor force participation and the parents' occupational status and fertility. Moreover, we find that interaction effects play an important role. The returns to schooling depend on the employees' parental background.

Mediated Recognition and the Quest for
a Common Rational Field of Discussion
in Three Early Medieval Dialogues
Authors: Palmén Ritva , Koskinen Heikki J. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Using interpretative resources from contemporary recognition theory with a special focus on the
notion of mediated recognition, this paper discusses the nature and degree of methodological agreement
as manifested in three twelfth-century dialogues. The first source to be considered was written by Gilbert
of Crispin, and known as Disputatio Christiani cum Gentili (Disputation of Christian with a Pagan), ca.
1093. The second source was composed by the Christian convert Peter Alfonsi, whose dialogue Dialogi
contra Iudaeos (Dialogue against the Jews) was written about 1110. The third source to be considered is
Peter Abelard’s treatise Collationes, a dialogue with three participants and the narrator, written between
1127 and 1132. In particular, the paper discusses the role of reason, the principles of argument, and the
potentially-shared set of rules these dialogues employ, thereby bringing the agreement among conflicting
parties into focus. In this respect, the novel interpretative approach based on recognition theory also
differs markedly from the standard reading of apologetic texts, which usually emphasizes conflict and
disagreement.

Defizite und Folgeprobleme funktionaler Differenzierung. Ein Vorschlag zur Beobachtung von Reaktionen der Gesellschaft
Authors: Simsa Ruth 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
In dem Beitrag wird die These vertreten, dass die Gesellschaft sich selbst nicht nur mittels der Unterscheidungen der Funktionssysteme erster Ordnung beobachtet, sondern auch in Bezug auf Folgeprobleme funktionaler Differenzierung. Aufbauend auf einen Vorschlag zur Systematisierung von gesellschaftlich thematisierten Defiziten und Folgeproblemen funktionaler Differenzierung wird eine Beobachtung der Gesellschaft auf Basis der Unterscheidungen Inklusion/Exklusion, Internalisierung/Externalisierung und Integration/Desintegration angeregt, welche Probleme theoretisch erfassen und systematisieren soll, die im Rahmen gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation beobachtet und thematisiert werden. Anschließend wird die Ausbildung von Kommunikationszusammenhängen diskutiert, welche sich auf Probleme spezialisieren, die von den Funktionssystemen nicht gelöst bzw. verursacht werden, u.a. die Ausdifferenzierung eines System zweiter Ordnung, welches als System kritischer Öffentlichkeit bezeichnet wird.
Black Box Beetle: Über Privatheit und Intransparenz
Authors: Hoegl Franz 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Wittgenstein kritisierte in seinen Philosophischen Untersuchungen das philosophische Konzept der »Privatheit« aus der Perspektive der Sprachphilosophie. In Luhmanns Systemtheorie erscheint der Begriff der »Intransparenz«, das Problem also, dass kein Sinnsystem informationellen Zugriff auf ein anderes System haben kann, bisweilen wie eine Variante des philosophischen Begriffs »Privatheit«. Kehren demnach in der Systemtheorie jene epistemologischen Probleme (unter denen vor allem der Solipsismus und der Skeptizismus zu nennen wären) wieder, die sich aus dem privatistischen Konzept ergeben? Luhmann begegnet diesen Problemen, indem er den Begriff der Doppelten Kontingenz in die Theorie der Kommunikation einführt. Eine Gegenüberstellung der Begriffe »Privatheit« und »Intransparenz« soll zeigen, dass das Modell der Doppelten Kontingenz kein Privatheits-Postulat im von Wittgenstein kritisierten Sinne voraussetzt. Im Gegenteil: Die systemtheoretische Modellierung der Doppelten Kontingenz bietet die begrifflichen Mittel, um an Wittgensteins Argumentation gegen die privatistische Skepsis anzuknüpfen, ohne auf eine zu unterstellende integrative Urkraft der ordinary language zurückgreifen zu müssen.
Negieren lernen. Vom Rechnen mit Individualität
Authors: Lehmann Maren 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag sucht nach Möglichkeiten, den Begriff der Individualität gesellschaftstheoretisch und organisationstheoretisch zu bestimmen und beide Bestimmungen kommunikationstheoretisch zu verknüpfen. Die Unterscheidung von Individuum und Gesellschaft wird dazu ersetzt durch die Differenz von Identität und Information, um auf diese Weise als Form des Rechnens der Gesellschaft, d.h.: der Kommunikation beschreibbar zu werden. Der Beitrag geht aus vom Sinnbegriff und der Unterscheidung Aktualität / Potentialität und wechselt zum Begriff der Stelle, verstanden als Differenz Leere /Vakanz. Die Individualitätskalküle der Gesellschaft sind Formen des Rechnens mit diesen Unterscheidungen.
Are There Still Indispensable Norms in Our Society?
Authors: Luhmann Niklas 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
In his Heidelberg University lecture of 1992, the author uses an ail-too prescient torture scenario to exam the function and putative indispensability of norms in modern society. In the exceptional case, recourse to the »normativity of norms« or to »values« proves to be untenable because all norms and values reveal themselves to be undecidable. Viewed from within the legal systems, the validity of norms remain unquestioned, but viewed from »society« (by, say, the sociologist), norms are seen as social facts and thus open to discussion. The author works his way through many permutations of the torture question (»Would you do it?«) not to give us a normative answer to the problem, but to exemplify the seeming impossibility of reasonably expecting that any given legal norm is normatively indispensable.
