Skandinavische Mitglieder in den ersten 50 Jahren des Bestehens der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft, ihre wissenschaftliche Bedeutung und Interaktion mit deutschen Fachkollegen
Authors: Scheele Irmtraut 
Published: March 2023

ZusammenfassungInsgesamt gehörten in den ersten fünfzig Jahren ihres Bestehens ca. 60 Mitglieder aus skandinavischen Ländern der DBG an, wobei der Anteil der schwedischen Botaniker sowohl unter den korrespondierenden als auch unter den ordentlichen Mitgliedern besonders groß ist.Wie sehr man die meisten dieser Kollegen aus den nordischen Ländern schätzte, geht auch daraus hervor, daß man auch ihnen in den „Berichten der DBG” anläßlich hoher Geburtstage sogenannte Grußadressen widmete, so z. B. zum 70. den Schweden Dahlgren, Arrhenius und Nathorst, dem Finnen Collander und dem Dänen Warming111).Für fast alle erwähnten skandinavischen Botaniker gilt, daß ihre wissenschaftlichen Beziehungen zu deutschen Fachkollegen bereits seit längerer oder kürzerer Zeit bestanden, bevor sie für eine der Mitgliedskategorien vorgeschlagen wurden. Oft wurden auf Studienreisen zu führenden deutschen Botanikern, besonders im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts, die ersten persönlichen Kontakte hergestellt. Wegen der international führenden Rolle experimenteller Pflanzenphysiologen aus der Schule von Sachs bemühten sich skandinavische Botaniker um einen Arbeitsplatz in ihrem Praktikum. Die größte Anziehungskraft übte dabei Pfeffer aus, zunächst in Tübingen, später in Leipzig. Neben der Physiologie interessierten zunächst vor allem die Pflanzenanatomie und Entwicklungsgeschichte, später die Zellforschung von Strasburger und die Genetik in der Schule von Baur. Als Anwendungsfach war die Mykologie, die am besten bei de Bary in Straßburg gelehrt wurde, attraktiv, weil die Bekämpfung der Parasiten unter den Pilzen zunehmende Bedeutung erlangte. Manche neuartigen botanischen Einrichtungen an Hochschulen und Forschungsinstituten in Skandinavien sind ohne das deutsche Vorbild historisch nicht zu verstehen. Dieser Beitrag steht deshalb im Zusammenhang mit einem bislang von der „Stiftung Volkswagenwerk” geförderten Forschungsvorhaben zur Geschichte der besonders auf biologischem Gebiet bedeutsamen deutschskandinavischen Wissenschaftsbeziehungen. Viele Aufschlüsse über Ausmaß und Intensität dieses gegenseitigen Gebens und Nehmens dürften gerade aus den persönlich gehaltenen Briefwechseln112) zu erwarten sein. Im Interesse einer auch für die Gegenwart wertvollen Vertiefung des wissenschaftlichen Austausches zwischen den deutschen und nordischen Biologen nehme ich gerne Hinweise auf Briefe und andere autobiographische Quellen zum Thema entgegen.

AbstractThe association of adiposity indices with prehypertension remains unclear in the Chinese non‐hypertensive population. This study aimed to compare the association of adiposity indices, including waist circumference (WC), waist‐to‐height ratio, body roundness index (BRI), a body shape index (ABSI), and conicity index (CI), and prehypertension in the Chinese population. We recruited 61 475 participants from a population‐based screening project in Guangdong province, China. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to detect the association between the six adiposity indices and prehypertension. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the predictive values of adiposity indices to prehypertension. The individuals were divided into two categories by blood pressure (BP) levels: normotension (<120/80 mmHg) and prehypertension (120–139/80–89 mmHg). A total of 33 233 people had prehypertension, with a prevalence of 54.04% and 42% males. Both logistics regression models presented a positive association between each adiposity index and prehypertension (p < .05), except for ABSI. The body mass index (BMI) was slightly more correlated with prehypertension than any other index. The standardized ORs for the six indices were 1.392, 1.361, 1.406, 1.039, 1.372, and 1.151, respectively. Compared to other adiposity indices, the WC had a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) for predicting prehypertension (AUC: .619, sensitivity: 57%, specificity: 60.6%). In conclusion, WC and BMI might be the best indicators for prehypertension. Increasing evidence supports avoiding obesity as a preferred primary prevention strategy for prehypertension while controlling other major hypertension risk factors.
Employee‐CSR Tensions: Drivers of Employee (Dis)Engagement with Contested CSR Initiatives
Authors: Hahn Tobias , Sharma Garima , Glavas Ante 
Published: March 2023

AbstractFirms face mounting pressure to implement organization‐wide CSR initiatives in order to address social issues such as climate change, poverty alleviation, and inequality. Such efforts hinge on the engagement of employees throughout the organization. Yet, involving more employees in CSR, as well as the magnitude of organizational change required to address pressing social issues, are likely to trigger employee‐CSR (E‐CSR) tensions, i.e., tensions between employees' personal preferences for organizational CSR initiatives and their perceptions of the actual organizational CSR initiatives. While prior research on micro‐CSR has identified a range of employee engagement with CSR, it does not explain employees' CSR (dis)engagement when they experience E‐CSR tensions. We draw on the literature on individuals' responses to paradoxical tensions to unpack how and why employees who experience E‐CSR tensions (dis)engage differently with CSR initiatives. We develop a conceptual framework around the interplay of three drivers (type of tension, cognition, and organizational situatedness) to explain the employee response to E‐CSR tensions in terms of different types of (dis)engagement with CSR initiatives. We contribute to the micro‐CSR literature by explaining how and why employees (dis)engage differently with CSR initiatives with which they disagree, and to the microfoundations of paradox by challenging the dominant association between both/and thinking and generative outcomes vs either/or thinking and detrimental outcomes.

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDEarly sexual reproductive health (SRH) education is linked to a reduction in risky sexual behaviors. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are rising at alarming rates. Risky sexual behaviors, including initiation of sex before age 13, having more than four sexual partners, and lack of use of condoms, increase the chance of infection and cancer. Informing students about the link between risky behaviors and cancer is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality.METHODSA trend analysis of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) data between 2001 and 2019 was conducted. Results from four survey responses related to sexual risk behaviors among 9th to 12th grade in Mississippi students are compared with their US peers.RESULTSBetween 2001 and 2019, favorable declines in 3 out of 4 sexual risk behaviors were observed. Declining prevalence was reported for “ever had sexual intercourse,” “age of sexual initiation at age 13 or younger,” and “having 4 or more sexual partners in their lifetime” are promising. However, fewer students report using condoms. The adjusted prevalence rates for Mississippi students in all 4 measures were higher than the national responses.CONCLUSIONSOur analysis supports the need for early skill‐based sex education to promote health. States with increased behavioral risk among students should consider trends in data to improve education and policy.

AbstractBackgroundEchocardiographic reference intervals have not been reported for North American whippets, or for whippets that have undergone pet‐level athletic training.ObjectivesTo develop normal echocardiographic reference intervals for North American whippets and investigate differences in echocardiographic parameters based on athletic conditioning in pet whippets engaged in competitive sports.AnimalsOne‐hundred healthy North American whippets.MethodsDogs were examined at national shows between 2005 and 2009. Echocardiographic reference intervals were constructed and the effect of athletic conditioning on parameters of structure and function was assessed.ResultsTwo dimensional, M‐mode, Doppler and tissue Doppler reference ranges for healthy North American whippets are presented. Measures of left ventricular (LV) chamber diameter were larger in conditioned whippets (N = 25) and remained significantly larger than in unconditioned whippets (N = 16) when normalized for weight using allometric equations. Calculated LV mass was higher in conditioned dogs than in unconditioned dogs, and this difference persisted when LV mass was normalized by weight. Mitral E velocity was higher in conditioned dogs than in unconditioned dogs, whereas E/A and measures related to systolic function were not different.Conclusions and Clinical ImportancePet whippets in peak athletic condition have larger hearts than do less conditioned whippets, but measures of systolic function are similar. Whippet pet athletes may show eccentric LV hypertrophy at peak condition. Normal values for cardiac size and function in North American whippets might be considered abnormal if population‐specific whippet reference intervals are not used in analysis.
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) winter distribution and core habitats in relation to El Ninõ Southern Oscillation and depth in coastal and oceanic waters off Ecuador

AbstractSouthern Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) breed in subtropical and tropical waters off Peru in the south to Nicaragua in the north. The effect of warming oceans on humpback whale distribution in breeding areas remains unclear. We modeled the spatial distribution of humpback whales off the coast of Ecuador in relation to environmental variables. We analyzed the temporal variability in humpback whale sighting rates (animals/hour) in a subtropical (Manabí, 1996–1999) and tropical (Esmeraldas, 2001–2019) breeding ground. At the regional scale, we found humpback whale presence was more likely in shallow waters over the continental shelf. Esmeraldas and Manabí breeding grounds are core wintering habitats with most humpback whale sightings along Ecuador. Within breeding grounds, individual sighting rates varied between and within years and in relation to local sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTa). More animals were sighted in years with cooler waters in the Esmeraldas breeding ground, while the opposite was true in Manabí. Our findings suggest that during ENSO conditions, humpback whales may reach their temperature niche limit in the warm tropical waters near Esmeraldas, while during La Niña conditions, cooler areas such as Peru and Manabi become less suitable, and whales move further north.

AbstractBackgroundEvidence has suggested a bidirectional association between both the effects and onset of asthma and anxiety. The direction of this association in children and adolescents is less clear. The study evaluates whether anxiety in children is associated with the development of later asthma or, by contrast, whether asthma in children precedes anxiety.MethodsParental reports from 9369 children at two age points (4–5 and 14–15 years old) and from baby (B) (recruited at birth in 2004) and kindergarten (K) (recruited at 4–5 years of age in 2004) cohorts of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) were analyzed. Asthma cases were defined as reports of doctor‐diagnosed asthma and the use of asthma medication or/and wheezing. Scores of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) defined anxiety.ResultsWe found a unidirectional association between asthma in children aged 4–5 years and future anxiety development in weighted generalized linear adjusted models (B cohort OR (CI 95%) = 1.54 (1.14–2.08); K cohort OR (CI 95%) = 1.87 (1.40–2.49)). Children with asthma (no anxiety at 4 years) had a higher prevalence of anxiety in adolescence compared with nonasthmatics (B cohort = 26.8% vs 17.6%: K cohort = 27.7% vs 14.3%). Anxiety in childhood was not associated with the development of asthma from 6 years old to adolescence.ConclusionAustralian children with asthma have a greater risk of developing anxiety from 6 to 15 years old. This suggests that early multidisciplinary intervention may be required to support children with asthma to either prevent the increased risk of anxiety and/or promote optimal anxiety management.

Commitment strategies and inventory decisions under supply disruption risk
Authors: Wu Lezhen , Wu Xiaole , Zhou Yu 
Published: March 2023

Pandemics, trade frictions, and military conflicts may disrupt manufacturers' production capacity. This paper develops a two‐period supply chain model with supply disruption risk in the second period to investigate inventory decisions and the manufacturer's commitment strategies. We consider three strategies: no commitment, price commitment, and inventory commitment. Inventory holding within the supply chain is investigated under each strategy, and the dominant strategy is determined by comparing them. Distinct results arise due to supply disruption risk. First, the retailer may have two opposite motives for inventory holding: inventory‐building motive and inventory‐shifting motive (i.e., shifting inventory burden to the manufacturer by decreasing order quantity), where the latter is exclusive to situations with supply disruption risk. Price commitment suppresses both motives, and inventory commitment suppresses only inventory shifting. Second, the retailer never holds inventory under price commitment. Under no commitment and inventory commitment, for high (low) holding cost and disruption risk, only the manufacturer (retailer) holds inventory. Furthermore, the manufacturer's inventory may decrease as disruption risk increases. Third, regarding strategy choice, while each strategy can be the dominant choice for the retailer and the supply chain, the manufacturer (weakly) prefers inventory commitment to the other two strategies. However, the implementation of inventory commitment demands high supply chain transparency, as the manufacturer always has an incentive to secretly deviate by holding less inventory. When inventory commitment is infeasible, the price commitment strategy's performance varies compared to no commitment, contrasting with the disruption risk‐free literature where wholesale price commitment never outperforms no commitment.
Do you know to whom you pay your taxes? The case of decentralised Spain
Authors: López‐Laborda Julio , Rodrigo Fernando , Sanz‐Arcega Eduardo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractSurveys show that most citizens are unable to correctly identify the taxes received or the services provided by the different levels of government. This shortcoming represents an obstacle to democratic accountability and for the efficiency gains that the theory of fiscal federalism attributes to fiscal decentralisation be effective. Exploiting the 2015 wave of the Spanish Institute for Fiscal Studies' Fiscal Barometer, this paper empirically determines the profile of citizens who are best able to identify the allocation of taxes among the central, regional and local levels of government. The estimates suggest that these citizens are those who are able to identify the government that provides the services financed by those taxes, who correctly identify other taxes received by the same government, who reside in a foral region, and who enjoy a high level of education.
High triacylglycerol turnover is required for efficient opening of stomata during heat stress in Arabidopsis

Published: March 2023

SUMMARYHeat stress triggers the accumulation of triacylglycerols in Arabidopsis leaves, which increases basal thermotolerance. However, how triacylglycerol synthesis is linked to thermotolerance remains unclear and the mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. It has been shown that triacylglycerol and starch degradation are required to provide energy for stomatal opening induced by blue light at dawn. To investigate whether triacylglycerol turnover is involved in heat‐induced stomatal opening during the day, we performed feeding experiments with labeled fatty acids. Heat stress strongly induced both triacylglycerol synthesis and degradation to channel fatty acids destined for peroxisomal ß‐oxidation through the triacylglycerol pool. Analysis of mutants defective in triacylglycerol synthesis or peroxisomal fatty acid uptake revealed that triacylglycerol turnover and fatty acid catabolism are required for heat‐induced stomatal opening in illuminated leaves. We show that triacylglycerol turnover is continuous (1.2 mol% per min) in illuminated leaves even at 22°C. The ß‐oxidation of triacylglycerol‐derived fatty acids generates C2 carbon units that are channeled into the tricarboxylic acid pathway in the light. In addition, carbohydrate catabolism is required to provide oxaloacetate as an acceptor for peroxisomal acetyl‐CoA and maintain the tricarboxylic acid pathway for energy and amino acid production during the day.
Presumptive hemophagocytic syndrome associated with co‐infections with FIV, Toxoplasma gondii, and Candidatus mycoplasma haemominutum in an adult cat

Published: March 2023

AbstractA 9‐year‐old neutered male cat, previously test‐positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), was presented with an history of vomiting, hyporexia, and weight loss. Panleukopenia was identified on complete blood counts, and bone marrow evaluation revealed ineffective granulocytic hyperplasia and rare neutro‐, erythro‐, and rubriphagocytosis. Prednisolone was initiated with no response, and progression to pancytopenia occurred. On abdominal ultrasonographic examination, splenomegaly was present. PCR testing was positive for Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii were detected (titer 1:2560). Treatment with antibiotics, feline recombinant interferon‐ω, chlorambucil, mycophenolate, and raltegravir was implemented with no clinical improvement, and splenectomy was performed. Cytologic evaluation of splenic aspirates revealed exuberant neutro‐, erythro‐, and rubriphagocytosis. Histopathology of the spleen also showed many erythrophagocytic macrophages with no evidence of malignancy, and a diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome (HS) was made. The WBC count and hematocrit reached reference values 1 day and 3 months, respectively, after splenectomy. The cat was treated with cyclosporine and lomustine. Disease progression led to the development of septic hepatitis, and the cat was euthanized. To our knowledge, this is the first case of presumptive HS in cats that might have been associated with FIV, Toxoplasma gondii, and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum co‐infection.
Combined Radiation and Convection in Developing Flow in a Parallel Plate Channel With Real Gas Behavior: The Case of Gas Cooling
Authors: Pulsipher K. , Webb B. W. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The effect of real gas volumetric radiation on the thermal development in laminar parallel plate channel flow of H2O and/or CO2 in the case of gas cooling has been investigated numerically. The nongray radiation effects of the gas have been treated using a global spectral approach, the Spectral Line Weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model. The results reveal that gas radiation results in significantly higher total heat transfer to the cooled channel wall, with an attendant more rapid drop in gas mean temperature. Gas radiation is seen to increase the local convective and total (radiative plus convective) Nusselt number for increasing radiating species mole fraction for both H2O and CO2 and for increasing gas inlet temperature. The influence of gas radiation on the thermal development is less pronounced for CO2 than for H2O. An apparent thermally fully developed condition may exist for this combined convection-radiation problem with real gases in the gas cooling scenario, and radiation has the effect of significantly extending the thermally developing region. Combined hydrodynamic and thermal development yields higher heat transfer than the thermally developing condition. Smaller channel wall spacing results in lower radiative heat transfer and the aforementioned radiation effects are diminished. Local convective and radiative flux and thermal entry length also increase with elevated gas total pressure.

Published: March 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as práticas pedagógicas adotadas por professores de língua alemã, de diversos estados do país, a partir das bases teóricas de Vigotski (2009 [1934]; 2018 [1926])e Wallon (1978 [1942]; 2010 [1941]), correlacionando-as às propostas de interações entre os sujeitos (aluno) e os diversos objetos de conhecimento (áreas e conteúdos escolares), no contexto da globalização. Dessa forma, abordamos a mediação do professor de alemão, levando em conta os elementos capazes de afetar positivamente o aluno e de promover sua aproximação e interesse pela língua alemã ou, ao contrário, o seu afastamento e aversão. A partir da aplicação de questionário elaborado com 11 questões fechadas, estabelecemos inferências a partir da correlação entre os registros e as possibilidades de afetar positivamente os alunos, no sentido de promover um movimento de aproximação dos alunos à língua alemã. Concluímos que o grupo de 85 docentes respondentes desenvolve práticas pedagógicas no ensino de alemão capazes de afetar positivamente seus alunos e, desse modo, alcançar resultados de sucesso. Destaca-se a abordagem de temas socioculturais associados às expectativas de desempenho linguístico e às implicações para a vida social do aluno.
