nicht so gut wie erwartet
Authors: Sottas Beat 
Published: March 2017

Zusammenfassung
In einer repräsentativen Befragung (n=1.107 plus 505 MigrantInnen)
wurde in der Schweiz die Gesundheitskompetenz betr.
„Krankheitsbewältigung‟,
„Krankheitsprävention‟ und
„Gesundheitsförderung‟ analysiert. Eine von zehn Personen
verfügt über eine ausgezeichnete Gesundheitskompetenz, bei einem
Drittel ist sie ausreichend, bei fast der Hälfte aber problematisch und
bei neun Prozent unzureichend. Das Ergebnis ist unerwartet schlecht: weit hinter
den Niederlanden und Deutschland sowie auch hinter Irland, Polen und
Griechenland.

Published: March 2017

AbstractIn a series of crystallization experiments, the directional solidification of silicon was investigated as a low cost path for the production of silicon wafers for solar cells. Instrumental neutron activation analysis was employed to measure the influence of different crystallization parameters on the distribution of 3d-metal impurities of the produced ingots. A theoretical model describing the involved diffusion and segregation processes during the solidification and cooling of the ingots could be verified by the experimental results. By successive etching of the samples after the irradiation, it could be shown that a layer of at least 60 μm of the samples has to be removed to get real bulk concentrations.

Re-Membering the Travelogue: Generic Intertextuality as a Memory Practice in Teju Cole’sEvery Day is for the Thief
Authors: Kappel Yvonne 
Published: March 2017

AbstractGenres are not simply carriers of meaning – they generate meaning themselves. By intertextually evoking the genre of the travelogue, Teju Cole’sEvery Day is for the Thiefre-members a genre and its practices of not only portraying but also creating the Other. By ways of openly using but at the same time misusing the main characteristics of the imperialistic travelogue – such as the discourse of negation and visual practices –Every Day is for the Thiefhighlights entanglements that destabilize any fixed boundary between the past and the present as well as between the colonizer and the colonized. Disappointing the reader’s expectations raised by the generic conventions, the generic intertextuality asks the reader to reconsider the wider memory context that the genre is placed in. Neither conforming to the traditional travelogue nor to the postcolonial travelogue,Every Day is for the Thiefquestions these firm categorisations, positioning itself in the in-between and asking for a thinking beyond binary divisions and, most of all, a linking of the past and the present.
Cosmopolitan Place, Postcolonial Time, and the Politics of Modernism in Teju Cole’s Open City
Authors: Elze Jens 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This paper sets out to address larger questions about the relationship between postcolonialism, cosmopolitanism, and modernism from a stylistic analysis of the spatial and temporal dynamics of Teju Cole’s Open City. While cosmopolitan place is projected as stable, time is a more open category in the novel, both in terms of the order of narrative discourse and the temporal explorations into the colonial past that the focalizer/protagonist repeatedly offers. This allows for the often invisible postcolonial actors that both uphold the city in the present and enabled its material manifestation in the past to constantly seep into the text. Its eventual construction of postcolonial coevalness does not derive from a modernist sense of vertigo but from a cosmopolitan awareness that eventually manifests itself in spatiotemporal co-presence. Such insight into the destructive forces of historical movements is the condition of possibility for what Homi Bhabha has referred to as a vigilant global ethics of ambivalence, but always also gravitates towards political hesitation and communal aversion of which recent cosmopolitan novels have been accused.
Variation in Inpatient Croup Management and Outcomes
Authors: Tyler Amy , McLeod Lisa , Beaty Brenda , Juarez-Colunga Elizabeth , Birkholz Meghan , Hyman Daniel , Kempe Allison , Todd James , Dempsey Amanda F. 
Published: March 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Croup is a clinical diagnosis, and the available evidence suggests that, except in rare cases, ancillary testing, such as radiologic imaging, is not helpful. Given the paucity of inpatient-specific evidence for croup care, we hypothesized that there would be marked variability in the use of not routinely indicated resources (NRIRs). Our primary study objective was to describe the variation and predictors of variation in the use of NRIRs.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study that used the Pediatric Health Information System database of generally healthy inpatients with croup aged 6 months to 15 years who were admitted between January 1, 2012 and September 30, 2014. We measured variability in the use of NRIRs: chest and lateral neck radiographs, viral testing, parenteral steroids, and antibiotics. Risk-adjusted analysis was used to compare resource utilization adjusted for hospital-specific effects and average case mix.

RESULTS:
The cohort included 26 hospitals and 6236 patients with a median age of 18 months. Nine percent of patients required intensive care services, and 3% had a 30-day readmission for croup. We found marked variability in adjusted and unadjusted utilization across hospitals for all resources. In the risk-adjusted analysis, hospital-specific effects rather than patient characteristics were the main predictor of variability in the use of NRIRs.

CONCLUSIONS:
We observed an up to fivefold difference in NRIR utilization attributable to hospital-level practice variability in inpatient croup care. This study highlights a need for inpatient-specific evidence and quality-improvement interventions to reduce unnecessary utilization and to improve patient outcomes.
Erfahrungen von Tierhaltern in niedersächsischen Milchkuhbetrieben mit der Impfung gegen Q-Fieber

Published: March 2017

ZusammenfassungGegenstand und Ziel: Als meldepflichtige und zoonotisch bedeutsame Erkrankung rückt das Q-Fieber vermehrt in den Fokus der Tierseuchenbekämpfung. Aktuelle Studien belegen, dass die Erkrankung in Deutschland stärker verbreitet ist, als die Meldezahlen vermuten lassen. Deshalb gewährt die Niedersächsische Tierseuchenkasse seit 2013 zur Unterstützung betroffener Betriebe unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen eine Härtebeihilfe zu den Impfstoffkosten der Q-Fieber-Grundimmunisierung. Material und Methoden: Um die Wirksamkeit der Maßnahme zu überprüfen, erfolgte eine Befragung der Tierhalter, die diese Beihilfe innerhalb der letzten 2 Jahre in Anspruch genommen hatten und in deren Beständen vor der Impfung sowohl klinische Anzeichen für Q-Fieber aufgetreten waren als auch der Erreger Coxiella burnetii nachgewiesen worden war. Die Tierhalter wurden anhand eines zuvor erstellten Fragebogens telefonisch befragt. Dabei wurde auf die beobachteten Effekte der Impfung und die generelle Einschätzung der Vakzination eingegangen. Ergebnisse: Die auf das Q-Fieber hindeutenden klinischen Erscheinungen variierten mitunter stark und reichten von Aborten und Fruchtbarkeitsstörungen über gehäuft auftretende Entzündungen (Pneumonie, Mastitis, Metritis) bis hin zu unspezifischen Symptomen wie erhöhter Krankheitsanfälligkeit, Schwäche und Fieberschüben. Der weitaus überwiegende Teil der befragten Tierhalter (84 %) beobachtete nach der Impfung eine deutliche Besserung der Gesundheit im Bestand und mehr als zwei Drittel der Befragten wollen die Impfung auch ohne finanzielle Unterstützung der Niedersächsischen Tierseuchenkasse weiterführen. Abgesehen von allgemeinen Impfreaktionen, wie vorübergehend leicht erhöhte Körpertemperatur, physische Schwäche oder Schwankungen in der Milchleistung, traten Nebenwirkungen selten auf. Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz: Die klinischen Anzeichen für Q-Fieber in den Beständen waren divers und oft unspezifisch. Die Problematik in den Betrieben wurde nach Einschätzung der Tierhalter durch die Q-Fieber-Impfung in den meisten Fällen deutlich reduziert. Die Impfung scheint ein wirkungsvolles Instrument bei der Bekämpfung dieser Zoonose zu sein.
<i>In-vitro</i> Antimicrobial Activity of Roots of <i>Rauwolfia serpentina</i> L. Benth Kurz
Authors: OWK Aniel K. , LAGUDU Mutyala N. 
Published: March 2017

Microbial pathogens develop resistance to antibiotics after repeated administration during the treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to find alternative antimicrobial drugs and the present trend is focused on medicinal plants. The hereby research work was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial activity of solvents as well as aqueous extracts of Rauwolfia serpentina roots. The extracts were tested against Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae by agar well diffusion method. It was observed that methanol extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity against multi drug resistance S. aureus at 100 mg/ml concentration, while S. aureus was the most susceptible bacterium to all extracts. However, E. faecalis, M. luteus and S. pneumoniae were also susceptible to the experimented solvents and extracts. On the other hand, K. pneumoniae was resistant against the solvent and aqueous extracts. The present study suggested that methanol extracts of R. serpentina roots would be helpful in treating diseases caused by human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. In particular, based on the results obtained in the current experiment, it can be recommended for the control of infectious Gram-positive bacteria.

Published: March 2017

The study was designed to describe the phenotypic variations in morphometric and meristic characters of Clarias gariepinus between two populations in different towns in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Fish samples were collected from Ero dam (wild population at Ikun Ekiti) and Christeve Aquaculture (cultured population at Iyin Ekiti) using cast net and dragging net. The samples were brought to Zoology Laboratory in Ekiti State University and measurements for morphometrics (24) and meristics (11) of each of the investigated catfish specimen were taken using standard procedures. To test the significance of morphological differences between the wild and cultured populations, all the data on morphometrics and meristics were subjected to student's t-test at 5% level of significance. Principal Component Analyses and cluster analyses were then employed to analyse the data obtained from the morphological traits using Paleontological Statistics (PAST) software. Significant differences were observed in the means of the morphometric and meristic traits. The multivariate analysis also showed differences between the studied populations. These differences revealed the occurrence of heterogeneity between the two populations. Higher variations and sex related variations were also observed in the wild than in cultured population. The result show the potential for commercial purposes of the population. However, genetic markers can be used in further studies to confirm the phenotypic diversity observed and assess the amount of variation in these populations.

Published: March 2017

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi de analisar o sentido de corpo/corporeidade nos discursos de docentes do ensino superior das áreas de Educação Física, Pedagogia e Ciências Biológicas. Participaram da pesquisa cinco docentes de cada área do conhecimento. A pesquisa foi realizada na Universidade de Franca – SP. Para a coleta dos dados foi utilizado um questionário contendo a pergunta “o que é corpo para você?”. A análise dos dados foi feita de acordo com a Análise de Conteúdo: Técnica de Elaboração e Análise de Unidades de Significado. Nos resultados encontramos a prevalência (26,66% dos docentes) da definição de corpo como um conjunto de órgãos e tecidos, caracterizando a presença do modelo cartesiano em seus discursos. No entanto notamos que dois sujeitos já definem o corpo como corporeidade e um ser unificado, indo de encontro às reflexões fenomenológicas aqui expostas.
Planificación territorial y ordenamiento jurídico: la construcción de la institución hospitalaria en la Buenos Aires higiénica
Authors: Campari Gabriela 
Published: March 2017

La ciudad de Buenos Aires cristalizó sus formas de ordenamiento territorial, a partir de los instrumentos políticos que legitimaron el pensamiento higienista, mediante la aplicación de estructuras socioespaciales y sociopolíticas, que delinearon el espacio geográfico. En ese marco se definió un modelo hospitalario, que puso en marcha los modos de intervenir lo urbano, replicando una idea rectora ligada a un complejo arquitectónico con espacios y volúmenes racionalmente organizados, que articuló lo construido -pabellones- con senderos o galerías de vinculación y áreas verdes circundantes. En este sentido, el artículo se propone analizar el marco jurídico base que sustentó y reguló el espacio urbano y la higiene pública, y la incidencia de la institución hospitalaria, a partir de textos legales, memorias municipales y fuentes bibliográficas que sustentan los aportes conceptuales para el análisis geográfico, y exponer reflexiones sobre circunstancias que impactaron en un sector de la salud pública y transparentaron la controversia de intereses sobre el valor patrimonial del hospital pabellonal y su espacio verde, a fin de promover el debate para elaborar nuevas lecturas de la ciudad y repensar el planeamiento urbano a la luz del siglo XXI.
América Latina ante el desarrollo territorial sostenible: retos e incertidumbres en un mundo globalizado
Authors: González Sousa. Roberto 
Published: March 2017

La construcción de territorios transnacionales en América Latina dominados por el capital financiero internacional, desarrolla e impone un espacio de gobernanza a diferentes escalas geográficas. Como proyecto neoliberal debilita la economía de la región y la somete a la volatilidad del capital especulativo, el cual carece de sentido territorial y es de fácil movilidad frente a las tensiones sociales, económicas o políticas que lo pongan en riesgo. Esta investigación se propone sistematizar y abarcar el acontecer del proceso de construcción territorial en la región, a partir de la objetividad en el análisis de una realidad determinada históricamente por agentes exógenos al territorio latinoamericano. El estudio contribuye al debate sobre la gestión territorial en una región donde la teoría se ha subordinado al trabajo empírico, y la reflexión y la propuesta sobre un futuro propio han sido sustituidas por la adopción de modelos importados. Se le presta atención a las nuevas concepciones del desarrollo que se implementan en Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela y Argentina, dado que se constituye en un importante campo para la reflexión y la acción sobre los procesos territoriales.
