Eine Alternative zu Brünings Sparkurs?
Authors: Borchardt Knut 
Published: April 2015

Vorspann
Gab es doch eine Alternative zur restriktiven Finanz- und Haushaltspolitik der von Heinrich Brüning geführten Präsidialkabinette? Hätte Weimars Ende vielleicht verhindert werden können, wenn der Reichskanzler nicht so stur gewesen wäre und ein französisches Kreditangebot akzeptiert hätte? Paul Köppen bejahte diese Fragen in der Juliausgabe 2014 der Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte. Knut Borchardt, einer der international angesehensten deutschen Wirtschaftshistoriker, entzieht Köppens Thesen die Grundlage; er weist nach, dass es ein französisches Kreditangebot nicht gegeben hat.

Vorspann
Weimar steht plötzlich wieder auf der Agenda. Gab es doch mehr Demokraten als bisher angenommen, war das Zukunftspotenzial doch größer? Eng mit solchen Fragen verbunden ist das Problem der „Handlungsspielräume“ der Regierung, das vor zwei, drei Jahrzehnten in einer der faszinierendsten und komplexesten Debatten der deutschen Zeitgeschichte, der sogenannten Borchardt-Debatte, im Zentrum stand. Paul Köppen und Tim B. Müller haben in den Vierteljahrsheften für Zeitgeschichte die Weimar- und Borchardt-Debatte wiederbelebt und damit auch die Politik von Reichskanzler Heinrich Brüning erneut auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Roman Köster, Historiker an der Universität der Bundeswehr in München, setzt sich mit ihren Argumenten kritisch auseinander. Er bietet ebenso souverän Orientierung wie Knut Borchardt, der im selben Heft zu Wort kommt.

Published: April 2015

AbstractThe clinical spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is complex and includes a variety of phenotypes, which leads to different types of manifestations. Although most of the patients are asymptomatic, a significant proportion of them will develop symptoms or risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Therefore, the objectives of HCM diagnosis and management are to relieve the patients’ symptoms (chest pain, heart failure, syncope, palpitations, etc.), prevent disease progression and major cardiovascular complications and SCD. The heterogeneity of HCM patterns, their symptoms and assessment is a challenge for the cardiologist.

Odanacatib, A Cathepsin K‐Specific Inhibitor, Inhibits Inflammation and Bone Loss Caused by Periodontal Diseases
Authors: Hao Liang , Chen Jianwei , Zhu Zheng , Reddy Michael S. , Mountz John D. , Chen Wei , Li Yi‐Ping 
Published: April 2015

Background: Periodontitis is a bacteria‐induced inflammatory disease mainly affecting periodontal tissues, leading to periodontal inflammation, bone breakdown, and loss of the tooth. The main obstacle for treating periodontitis effectively is the difficulty in finding a target that can inhibit bone loss and inflammation simultaneously. Recent studies showed that cathepsin K (CTSK) might have functions in the immune system besides its role in osteoclasts. Thus, targeting CTSK would have a potential therapeutic effect in both the bone system and the immune system during the progression of periodontitis.Methods: In the current study, a small molecular inhibitor (odanacatib [ODN]) is explored to inhibit the function of CTSK in a bacteria‐induced periodontitis mouse model.Results: The application of ODN decreased the number of osteoclasts, macrophages, and T cells, as well as the expression of Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) in the periodontitis lesion area. Furthermore, lack of CTSK inhibited the expression of TLR4, TLR5, and TLR9 and their downstream cytokine signaling in the gingival epithelial cells in periodontitis lesions, demonstrating that the innate immune response was inhibited in periodontitis.Conclusion: The present results show that inhibition of CTSK can prevent bone loss and the immune response during the progression of periodontitis, indicating that CTSK is a promising target for treating inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis by affecting both osteoclasts and the immune system.

Background: There is a dearth of studies regarding the influence of cigarette smoking on periodontal inflammatory conditions among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the present study is to assess periodontal inflammatory conditions among smokers and never‐smokers with and without T2DM.Methods: One hundred individuals (50 patients with T2DM [25 smokers and 25 never‐smokers] and 50 controls [25 smokers and 25 never‐smokers]) were included. Information regarding age, sex, duration and daily frequency of smoking, duration and treatment of diabetes, and oral hygiene was recorded using a questionnaire. Periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], bleeding on probing [BOP], probing depth [PD], clinical attachment loss [AL], and marginal bone loss [MBL]) were measured. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were also recorded.Results: Mean age, monthly income status, and education levels were comparable among smokers and never‐smokers with and without T2DM. Mean HbA1c levels were significantly higher among patients with T2DM (8.2% ± 0.1%) compared with controls (4.4% ± 0.3%) (P <0.05). Smokers in the control group were smoking significantly greater numbers of cigarettes (15.5 ± 2.5 cigarettes daily) compared with smokers with T2DM (6.2 ± 2.1 cigarettes daily) (P <0.05). Periodontal parameters were comparable among smokers and never‐smokers with T2DM. Among controls, periodontal parameters (PI [P <0.05], AL [P <0.05], PD ≥4 mm [P <0.05], and MBL [P <0.05]) were significantly higher in smokers than never‐smokers. Never‐smokers with T2DM had worse periodontal status than smokers and never‐smokers in the control group (P <0.05).Conclusions: Periodontal inflammatory conditions are comparable among smokers and never‐smokers with T2DM. Among controls, periodontal inflammation is worse among smokers than never‐smokers.
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in the Age of Health Care Reform
Authors: Cahill Sean R. , Mayer Kenneth H. , Boswell Stephen L. 
Published: April 2015

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, thousands of people living with HIV who have received Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program–funded care are now eligible for Medicaid or subsidized insurance. The protection against insurance discrimination on the basis of preexisting conditions is increasing health care access for many, but this does not mean that the Ryan White Program is no longer needed. Services essential to improving outcomes on the continuum of HIV care are not supported by any other source. Because of the growing number of people living with HIV, we must increase funding for the Ryan White Program and increase the number of HIV care providers.
Health Insurance Disparities Among Racial/Ethnic Minorities in Same-Sex Relationships: An Intersectional Approach
Authors: Gonzales Gilbert , Ortiz Kasim 
Published: April 2015

Objectives. We examined disparities in health insurance coverage for racial/ethnic minorities in same-sex relationships. Methods. We used data from the 2009 to 2011 American Community Survey on nonelderly adults (aged 25–64 years) in same-sex (n = 32 744), married opposite-sex (n = 2 866 636), and unmarried opposite-sex (n = 268 298) relationships. We used multinomial logistic regression models to compare differences in the primary source of health insurance while controlling for key demographic and socioeconomic factors. Results. Adults of all races/ethnicities in same-sex relationships were less likely than were White adults in married opposite-sex relationships to report having employer-sponsored health insurance. Hispanic men, Black women, and American Indian/Alaska Native women in same-sex relationships were much less likely to have employer-sponsored health insurance than were their White counterparts in married opposite-sex relationships and their White counterparts in same-sex relationships. Conclusions. Differences in coverage by relationship type and race/ethnicity may worsen over time as states follow different paths to implementing health care reform and same-sex marriage.
The Association Between State Laws Regulating Handgun Ownership and Statewide Suicide Rates
Authors: Anestis Michael D. , Khazem Lauren R. , Law Keyne C. , Houtsma Claire , LeTard Rachel , Moberg Fallon , Martin Rachel 
Published: April 2015

Objectives. We examined the impact of 3 state laws (permit to purchase a handgun, registration of handguns, license to own a handgun) on suicide rates. Methods. We used 2010 data from publicly available databases and state legislatures to assess the relationships between our predictors and outcomes. Results. Results largely indicated that states with any of these laws in place exhibited lower overall suicide rates and suicide by firearms rates and that a smaller proportion of suicides in such states resulted from firearms. Furthermore, results indicated that laws requiring registration and license had significant indirect effects through the proportion of suicides resulting from firearms. The latter results imply that such laws are associated with fewer suicide attempts overall, a tendency for those who attempt to use less-lethal means, or both. Exploratory longitudinal analyses indicated a decrease in overall suicide rates immediately following implementation of laws requiring a license to own a handgun. Conclusions. The results are thus supportive of the potential of handgun legislation to have an impact on suicide rates.

Published: April 2015

Objectives. The goal of the HealthMap Vaccine Finder is to provide a free, comprehensive, online service where users can search for locations that offer immunizations. In this article, we describe the data and systems underlying the HealthMap Vaccine Finder (HVF) and summarize the project’s first year of operations. Methods. We collected data on vaccination services from a variety of providers for 2012–2013. Data are used to populate an online, public, searchable map. Results. In its first year, HVF collected information from 1256 providers representing 46 381 locations. The public Web site received 625 124 visits during the 2012–2013 influenza vaccination season. Conclusions. HVF is a unique tool that connects the public to vaccine providers in their communities. During the 2012–2013 influenza season, HVF experienced significant usage and was able to respond to user feedback with new features.
“Fighting a Hurricane”: Tobacco Industry Efforts to Counter the Perceived Threat of Islam
Authors: Petticrew Mark , Lee Kelley , Ali Haider , Nakkash Rima 
Published: April 2015

Islamic countries are of key importance to transnational tobacco companies as growing markets with increasing smoking rates. We analyzed internal tobacco industry documents to assess the industry’s response to rising concerns about tobacco use within Islamic countries.The tobacco industry perceived Islam as a significant threat to its expansion into these emerging markets. To counter these concerns, the industry framed antismoking views in Islamic countries as fundamentalist and fanatical and attempted to recruit Islamic consultants to portray smoking as acceptable. Tobacco industry lawyers also helped develop theological arguments in favor of smoking.These findings are valuable to researchers and policymakers seeking to implement culturally appropriate measures in Islamic countries under the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
Using Pharmacies in a Structural Intervention to Distribute Low Dead Space Syringes to Reduce HIV and HCV Transmission in People Who Inject Drugs
Authors: Oramasionwu Christine U. , Johnson Terence L. , Zule William A. , Carda-Auten Jessica , Golin Carol E. 
Published: April 2015

Ongoing injection drug use contributes to the HIV and HCV epidemics in people who inject drugs. In many places, pharmacies are the primary source of sterile syringes for people who inject drugs; thus, pharmacies provide a viable public health service that reduces blood-borne disease transmission. Replacing the supply of high dead space syringes with low dead space syringes could have far-reaching benefits that include further prevention of disease transmission in people who inject drugs and reductions in dosing inaccuracies, medication errors, and medication waste in patients who use syringes. We explored using pharmacies in a structural intervention to increase the uptake of low dead space syringes as part of a comprehensive strategy to reverse these epidemics.
Modern Diagnostics of Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines – Some Selected Issues / Nowoczesna Diagnostyka Lotniczych Silników Turbinowych - Wybrane Zagadnienia
Authors: Lewitowicz Jerzy , Kowalski Mirosław , Żyluk Andrzej 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
In aeronautics, the question of maintaining the highest possible level of flight safety is the most crucial issue. This is the reason why the scientists, engineers, and aerospace/aviation engineering staff keep searching for ever newer and more reliable methods of increasing the safety level. Therefore, new methods - primarily nondestructive ones - to diagnose aircraft turbine engines are looked for. These methods are expected to prove useful for the real-time monitoring of actual health of the engine and its assemblies. The paper has been intended to outline the most recent methods of diagnosing aircraft turbine engines, including the computed tomography methods as applied to assess health/maintenance status of turbine blades, for the phase mapping of increments in the engine’s rotational speed, to diagnose health/maintenance status of the compressor’s 1st stage rotor blades in pure jets. Other methods discussed are, e.g. vibroacoustic and tribological ones

Objective.To examine whether proteins of the lectin pathway of the complement system are involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis.Methods.Using time-resolved immunofluorometric assays, plasma levels of mannan-binding lectin (MBL)-associated serine proteases 1 (MASP-1), MASP-2, MASP-3, MBL-associated protein of 19 kDa (MAp19), and MAp44 were determined in 58 patients with SLE and 65 healthy controls (HC).Results.Plasma concentrations in patients with SLE were higher than HC regarding MASP-1, MASP-3, and MAp44 (p < 0.0001, 0.0003, and 0.0013). Complement factor 3 correlated negatively and anti-dsDNA positively with levels of MAp19 (p = 0.0035, p = 0.0133).Conclusion.In SLE, plasma levels of MASP and MAp are altered and associated with SLE characteristics, supporting a role in SLE pathogenesis.
Éclats de mots : pouvoir de la parole et vulnérabilité
Authors: Laufer Laurie 
Published: April 2015

Les mots ont un pouvoir double, celui d’être la condition d’une puissance d’agir, et celui de la blessure ou d’une injonction à se taire. Être livré à la violence de l’autre, expérimenter l’impact d’une parole et le pouvoir des mots, c’est reconnaître sa propre vulnérabilité et, en vertu de celle-ci, sa capacité à agir. Le récit de Jane Sautière, Nullipare , permet de mettre en perspective cette vulnérabilité et l’emprise du discours sur le corps féminin. Dans son ouvrage, l’auteure écrit les effets d’un signifiant, nullipare, sur le corps d’une femme qui, par choix, n’a pas porté d’enfant. Qu’est-ce qu’une situation ou une rencontre qui prendrait en compte la vulnérabilité du sujet sans en figer la condition de victime et sans psychologisation ? L’action spécifique de l’« autre secourable » ( Nebenmensch )dans le cadre psychanalytique peut régler le jeu de ces vulnérabilités respectives.
Du pónos à l’ enkômion , les formes de la sociabilité agonistique
Authors: Cogan Gwenola 
Published: April 2015

Au V e s. av. J.-C., les poètes comme Pindare ou Bacchylide composèrent des épinicies pour célébrer les victoires des athlètes, pour chanter leur félicité. Pour qui s’intéresse également aux pratiques sociales, ces œuvres sont riches d’indices sur une sociabilité singulière liée à la préparation des concurrents pour ces compétitions. La préparation physique des athlètes nécessitait le recours aux plus grands entraîneurs. Enfin, les déplacements qui avaient lieu étaient autant d’occasions de nouer et d’entretenir des liens privilégiés avec les citoyens qui recevaient les concurrents dans leur cité le temps de la compétition. L’ensemble des mécanismes de cette « sociabilité agonistique » est ici abordé à partir des parcours de jeunes athlètes éginètes.
Retour sur la dépossession Israël, la Nakba , les Choses
Authors: Stein Rebecca L. 
Published: April 2015

Considérant la façon dont des juifs israéliens de diverses communautés ont dû faire face à l’histoire de la dépossession palestinienne au cours de la guerre de 1948-1949, cet article traite de la manière dont cette histoire affecte les choses ayant appartenu aux Palestiniens et propose un changement de perspective en mettant l’accent non plus sur la dépossession mais sur la re-possession . Il s’agit de prendre au sérieux les modalités selon lesquelles, une fois appropriées, les choses palestiniennes prennent sens à l’intérieur de la matrice politique israélienne ; il s’agit également de savoir comment les mémoires israéliennes réussissent ou échouent à s’attacher à ces choses ; il s’agit enfin de se demander ce que de tels processus ont à nous dire sur le nationalisme israélien de colonisation et ses techniques quotidiennes.
