Ausländische Direktinvestitionen und lokale Wissensbasis: Die Einbettung von Niederlassungen in die deutsche duale Ausbildung
Authors: Fuchs Martina , Westermeyer Johannes , Finken Lena , Pilz Matthias 
Published: October 2022

Dual vocational education and training systematically combines the learning of apprentices (in vocational schools) or students (in applied universities) with the ‘learning venue’ of the company. The dual vocational education and training exists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and stands for regional competitiveness as well as for job opportunities of young people on the local labour market. Outside of these three countries, the dual system hardly exists, but dual practices are subject of international skill transfer policies. While this transfer is well researched, it is hardly known to what extent (in mirror image) subsidiaries of foreign companies take part in the dual system of German speaking countries. This question was examined, by focussing on subsidiaries of multinational companies in Germany. Theoretically, the contribution relates to research on local knowledge bases and the embeddedness of foreign subsidiaires. The study pursues a qualitative method. The results show that the local training managers have freedom for decision-making and use this in favour of getting involved in dual vocational education and training. However, the effort turns out to be high. Dual activities take place primarily as a strategy for adapting to the institutional environment, not as a way of shaping the environment. The local stakeholders are mostly reactive in this regard. This points to possible future fields of research on local knowledge bases and local embeddedness and, with regard to practice, to the relevance of mutual coordination.

Growing city regions are in between the poles of high land and housing prices and national land-saving targets. The mobilization of building land to create living space and the reduction of new land take represent a conflict of goals that can only be resolved by taking an integrated look at the instruments for meeting both challenges. In order to address this conflict analytically, a regional causal loop diagram is used to map the complex mechanisms of action between housing markets and new land use for housing in core cities and their hinterland and to use it as a theoretical framework. Using a mixed-methods approach, trends in residential development as well as municipal solution strategies in German city regions are investigated. The results show increasing land use efficiency in core cities and the dense hinterland, with simultaneous high, price-induced migration gains in the less dense hinterland, where single-family housing still dominates. It becomes evident that the questions about land saving in the hinterland and housing in core cities have to be considered mutually. The regional land take can only be minimized if affordable and attractive housing is provided in the core cities, especially for families. For this, a more consistent use of existing land policy instruments in combination with a regional commitment to higher densities, especially in the hinterland, is necessary.
Optimization of fatigue life in laminated composite plates
Authors: Ahmed Bassam Ali 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
With the development of fiber technology on which the composite materials depend mainly was necessary to improve the rigidity, durability, and heat transfer in the areas of heating and cooling technologies. The effect of the fatigue phenomenon on composite materials using carbon fibers is studied. In this research paper, work was performed to study the improvement in the bearing capacity of the stress test sample with the addition of carbon fibers at different angles. The stresses affecting the test specimen are cylindrical with a length of 10 cm. The results proved that the best arrangement of the carbon fibers in the form of triple layers starting from the center of the cylinder circle to the outside was the share of the arrangement layer 45, 0, 0, where the lowest value was the number of fatigue life cycles, 2349 cycles in the bending test, as the amount of stress that this case reached was 6.1×108 Pa compared to the rest of the studied cases.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Alkali lignin (AL) has attracted great attention as a material for treating dye wastewater due to its low cost and environmental friendliness. However, the unique structure and aggregation characteristics of AL regarding the dye wastewater removal mechanism have not been systematically revealed. Here, the removal process of typical cationic dye contaminants (methylene blue, MB) from dye wastewater by AL at different pH was explored and the unique synergistic effect mechanism of adsorption and flocculation was revealed. With increasing pH, the removal rate initially increased and then decrease. With increasing MB concentration, the optimal pH value corresponding to the maximum adsorption rate increased regularly. Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that electrostatic and π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding consisted push-pull balance under the influence of pH. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet and visible spectrum (UV) and particle size analysis showed that the aggregate structure and synergistic mechanism changed with the solution pH and concentration. In the low concentration solution, adsorption dominated. While in the high concentration solution, flocculation dominated. The removal mechanism consisted of the synergy of adsorption and flocculation laying the foundation for the efficient and environmentally friendly treatment of dye wastewater by AL.
Assessment of the breadth of binding promiscuity of heme towards human proteins
Authors: Roumenina Lubka T. , Dimitrov Jordan D. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Heme regulates important biological processes by transient interactions with many human proteins. The goal of the present study was to assess extends of protein binding promiscuity of heme. To this end we evaluated interaction of heme with >9000 human proteins. Heme manifested high binding promiscuity by binding to most of the proteins in the array. Nevertheless, some proteins have outstanding heme binding capacity. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that apart from typical haemoproteins, these proteins are frequently involved in metal binding or have the potential to recognize DNA. This study can contribute for understanding the regulatory functions of labile heme.
Schwierigkeit und Trennschärfe von Aufgabentypen – evaluiert durch Ober- und Untergruppenanalysen in den DSH-Prüfungsteilen Leseverstehen und Hörverstehen
Authors: Friedland Alice , Sabo Milica 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die DSH-Prüfung (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang) nimmt innerhalb der Prüfungen, welche in der Rahmenordnung für Deutsche Sprachprüfungen für den deutschen Hochschulzugang (kurz: RO-DT) gelistet sind, eine besondere Rolle ein. Sie stellt neben dem Prüfungsteil Deutsch der Feststellungsprüfung eines Studienkollegs die einzige Prüfung dar, die nicht grundsätzlich standardisiert ist und dementsprechend dezentral erstellt wird bzw. werden kann. Aus diesen Gründen ist eine ständige standortbezogene Evaluation der Prüfung notwendig. Am Beispiel des DSH-Standortes Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena soll aufgezeigt werden, wie die sogenannte Ober- und Untergruppenanalyse bzw. die vereinfachte Itemanalyse die Evaluation hinsichtlich der Gütekriterien Schwierigkeit und Trennschärfe unterstützen kann. Mithilfe der Ober- und Untergruppenanalyse ist auch eine Bestimmung des Schwierigkeitsgrads für jede Aufgabe möglich. Anhand von vier DSH-Prüfungssätzen soll dies für die Prüfungsteile der rezeptiven Fertigkeiten Leseverstehen und Hörverstehen aufgezeigt werden. Die zur Überprüfung der Fertigkeiten herangezogenen Aufgabentypen unterscheiden sich nicht wesentlich und sind deshalb für eine übergreifende Betrachtung der rezeptiven Prüfungsteile geeignet. Aus der Ober- und Untergruppenanalyse für die Prüfungsteile Lese- und Hörverstehen ergibt sich zum einen ein Vorschlag zur Testevaluation, welcher auch an anderen DSH-Standorten eingesetzt werden kann; zum anderen ergeben sich Hinweise für das Testerstellungsverfahren.

The Participation of Marginal and Liminal Groups in Secondary State Formation under the Third Dynasty of Ur
Authors: Garfinkle Steven 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Ur III period (2112–2004 BC) provides rich opportunities to evaluate the contributions of marginal and liminal groups to the political economy of the era, and to re-assess our understanding of what constituted such groups in an era of early state formation. These opportunities arise in part from the well preserved and detailed administrative corpora at major provincial centers like Umma and Ĝirsu, as well as from significant centers of royal activity like Puzriš-Dagan and Iri-sagrig. These archives document many of the activities of the two groups on which this article focuses: the large body of marginalized dependent laborers (Sumerian ĝuruš) who performed a great deal of the agricultural work in Mesopotamia, and the liminal figures who frequent our records, often associated with pastoralism, and who are identified as Amorites (Sumerian Mar-tu). The former group I identify as “insiders” who were socio-economically marginalized, and the latter group I identify as “outsiders” who occasionally had the opportunity to become privileged insiders. Our tendency in the study of early agrarian societies to regard pastoralists as “outsiders” allows for a critique of how we identify and describe liminal groups; and this has added significance for how we understand the state building projects of the Third Dynasty of Ur.
Historical development of SIRGAS
Authors: Drewes Hermann 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Geodetic Reference System for the Americas (Sistema de Referencia Geodésico para las Américas, SIRGAS) was initiated in 1993 for South America at an international conference organised by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), the Pan-American Institute for Geography and History (PAIGH), the Deutsches Geodätisches Forschungsinstitut (DGFI), and the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) in Asunción, Paraguay. The corresponding South American reference network was observed in 1995 by a ten-day GPS campaign at 58 stations. The network was extended to Central and North America in 2000 and immediately afterwards converted to a frame of continuously observing GNSS stations instead of short-term campaigns. The linear station position changes (velocities) were estimated by a multi-year least squares adjustment of weekly solutions, the first being published in 2002. The total set of station velocities served for the computation of continuous surface deformation models, the first over South America was published in 2005. Today, SIRGAS is accepted by most of the American states as the official geodetic reference frame. Besides the product generation (station positions, velocities, and surface deformation), SIRGAS is active in education and training offering schools and workshops for students, surveyors, and other stakeholders.
Improving of electric network feeding nuclear facility based on multiple types DGs placement
Authors: Saleh Alaa A. , Adail Ahmed S. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Nuclear Facility (NF), during shutdown and startup, are in the essential need for reliable electric power that should be delivered by electric power grid to NF. Safe operation of NF needs a limited variation in both frequency and voltage.The reduction of power losses, improving voltage profile, and frequency in electric grid connected with NF can be achieved by optimally distributed generators (DGs) placement. This paper presents a mathematical model for multible types of DGs placement in electric grid feeding NF. Also, it proposes artificial intelligence solution methodology for active and reactive power DGs placement problem. The trained Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with Cat Swarm Optimization algorithm (CSO) is used for optimal solution. The optimization technique is tested and validated by using different sizes of electric grid. Test results showed a more reliable and efficient approach compared with other approachs.
SNRPB promotes cell cycle progression in thyroid carcinoma via inhibiting p53
Authors: Deng Yan , Li Xin , Jiang Wenlei , Tang Jindan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for more than 80% of all thyroid carcinoma cases. Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1 (SNRPB) has been indicated to be carcinogenic in several cancers; however, its function and mechanism in PTC are unclarified. Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting revealed the upregulation of SNRPB and downregulation of tumor protein p53 in PTC tissues compared with the normal tissues. Flow cytometry and western blotting displayed that SNRPB silencing induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and suppressed the expression levels of Cyclin family proteins in PTC cells. In vivo experiments suggested that SNRPB silencing inhibited PTC tumor growth in mice. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the expression of SNRPB and cell cycle-associated genes in thyroid carcinoma tissues is positively correlated. Immunofluorescence staining and co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that SNRPB directly interacted with p53 and suppressed its expression in PTC cells. In conclusion, SNRPB facilitates cell cycle progression in PTC by inhibiting p53 expression.
lncRNA-AC130710/miR-129-5p/mGluR1 axis promote migration and invasion by activating PKCα-MAPK signal pathway in melanoma
Authors: Xie Zhi , Wang Chen , Li Li , Chen Xianfeng , Wei Guanjing , Chi Yan , Liang Yanping , Lan Lizhen , Hong Jiqiong , Li Lili 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Invasion and metastasis of melanoma are a series of complicated biological events regulated by multiple factors. The coregulation of many molecules involved in the development and progression of melanoma contributes to invasion and migration. mGluR1 is a metabotropic glutamate receptor that is overexpressed in melanocytes and is sufficient to induce melanoma. In our study, we found that mGluR1 was obviously increased in melanoma. Furthermore, we found that miR-129-5p could directly target and regulate mGluR1 mRNA, which was significantly reduced in A375 cells. Overexpression of miR-129-5p inhibited cell migration, invasion and clonal formation. lncRNA-AC130710 directly targeted and suppressed miR-129-5p in A375 cells. Downregulation of lncRNA-AC130710 suppressed the levels of mGluR1 mRNA by promoting miR-129-5p expression and further inhibiting migration, invasion and colony formation in A375 cells, which was associated with the activation of the PKCα-MAPK signaling pathway. Taken together, our study showed that the lncRNA-AC130710/miR-129-5p/mGluR1 axis plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of melanoma.
A Defense on the Usefulness of ‘Big-G’ Grounding
Authors: Kortabarria Markel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractContemporary metaphysics has undergone a change of perspective due to the irruption of Grounding in discussions of metaphysical dependence. Proponents argue that Grounding is the primitive relationship of determination underlying many of the traditionally posited idioms of metaphysical dependence. In a recent line of scepticism Jessica Wilson has argued that the inability of the notion to be informatively effective regarding substantial matters of metaphysical determination renders it useless in the face of theoretical work. To supply this lack of informativeness proponents must resort to the already available set of specific ‘small-g’ relations, which renders the formulation of ‘big-G’ Grounding pre-theoretically unmotivated. In response two motivations are said to remain: The priority and unity arguments. Wilson insists that neither of these motivations succeeds in establishing ‘big-G’ Grounding as theoretically useful. I argue that none of Wilson’s critiques succeeds in establishing eliminative scepticism.
Forgiveness and flourishing
Authors: Toussaint Loren 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article reviews work that my colleagues and I have conducted over the past 20 years examining connections of forgiveness of others and self-forgiveness with flourishing. I also highlight our work investigating psychoeducational approaches to forgiveness education. Definitions of forgiveness of others, self-forgiveness, divine forgiveness, and flourishing are offered at the outset. Then I turn to considering conceptual models of the forgiveness and flourishing connection. I review both the stress-and-coping models of forgiveness of others and self-forgiveness, and suggest that these models offer a lens on how and why forgiveness might be connected to flourishing. Examples of research testing different aspects of these models are then offered with an eye toward understanding both the direct and mediating/moderating influence of forgiveness and self-forgiveness on flourishing. Forgiveness education is discussed next. Here I review leading methods of forgiveness education (i. e., REACH Forgiveness and Forgive for Good) and review both the steps of each model and provide examples of the efficacy trials that have been done to demonstrate that forgiveness is a teachable skill when appropriate methods are used. I conclude by summarizing what I have learned about forgiveness and suggest some areas of science and society in need of future forgiveness work.
„Und Gott hatte das Fleisch brennend lieb!“
Authors: Gosebrink Hildegard 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag skizziert Leben und gegenwärtige Rezeption Hildegards von Bingen (1098–1179). Er informiert über die authentischen Quellen, die ihre Werke überliefern, und gibt auf dieser Basis Orientierungshilfen, wo Hildegard heute vereinnahmt und vermarktet wird. Er wagt eine Spurensuche zum Thema „Schöpfung“, angefangen von ihrem Erstlingswerk Scivias bis zum Singspiel Ordo virtutum.
Hildegard geht von einem kommunikationsfreudigen Gott aus, der sich in der Schöpfung mitteilt. Sie sieht den Menschen als Mittelpunkt der Schöpfung. Ihr Anthropozentrismus bedeutet jedoch keinen Freibrief, die Schöpfung auszubeuten. Der Mensch ist großartig und abhängig zugleich, er ist von Gott mit Kräften bzw. Ressourcen zur Aktivität und Verantwortung ausgestattet. Dabei kommt der Mensch sowohl im heilen Urzustand der Schöpfung als auch nach ihrem Fall in den Blick. Hildegard versteht Erlösung bzw. Heilung als Wandlung, bei der sie dem Menschen aktive Mitwirkung zuschreibt. Die Edelsteine sind hier wichtige Metaphern.
Schließlich werden sieben „Ankerpunkte“ für einen heutigen Dialog mit Hildegard benannt, die das Anliegen von „Spiritual Care“ inspirieren können.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Aiming at the problems of large leakage and high friction heat generation of the piston ring under high pressure and high speed, based on the previous research on the V-shaped groove piston ring, the research on the design method of the V-shaped groove piston ring is carried out in depth. The numerical analysis is carried out focusing on the number of V-shaped grooves and the depth of the V-shaped grooves of the piston ring. The influence law is verified and analyzed by using a high-pressure and high-speed rotating test bench. The simulation and experimental results show that the leakage of 4 grooves and 8 grooves piston ring is reduced by 14.9 and 28.5%, and the temperature is reduced by 10.9 and 4.7%; When there are 8 V-shaped grooves on the piston ring, the leakage is reduced by 28.5 and 21.7%; when the V-shaped groove depth is 0.04 and 0.08 mm, the temperature is reduced by 4.1%. However, when the V-shaped groove depth is 0.12 mm, the leakage is increased by 2.7% compared with the traditional piston ring. Appropriate groove number and groove depth can realize the coordinated design of low leakage and low friction temperature rise.
Motorcycle Tourism
Authors: Gronau Werner , Große Hokamp Jana 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The contribution at hands aims on providing a rough overview on almost 20 years of academic research emerging in the field of so-called motorcycle tourism. From the early beginning of academic contributions when motorcycling was perceived as a “gangs-thing”, as a field of ethnographic studies. To the days when motorcycling was accepted as a general leisure activity and consequently became a part of drive tourism research. The focus of motorcycling as a drive tourism form also contributed to a growing interest in the field of business and tourism studies, as it defined a new paradigm for the field, which still prevails today. “The major change in the global self-drive markets is a shift from the car as a form of least-cost transport towards the use of a variety of self-driven vehicles that add value to the tourism experience” (Carson & Schmallegger, 2011, p. 364). Following the historical perspective, the second section of the article outlines the ongoing diversification of research fields around motorcycling tourism in recent years including studies on interest and motivations of motorcycle tourists, target group segmentations, or impact studies on destinations, which might indicate motorcycle tourism becoming an emerging field of tourism research. The final section provides an outlook of possible topics of the near future.
