title: Regionale Verständigung
Creators: name: Rauchbüchl, Elisabeth
Year: 2014

description: BürgerInnenbeteiligung ist eine Form von Partizipation, angefangen auf lokalster Ebene. Menschen haben immer mehr Interesse daran ihr Wohn- und Arbeitsumfeld, die Region oder den Stadtteil nachhaltig mitzugestalten. Informelle und nicht-verfasste Formen der Beteiligung lassen eine aktive Teilnahme am öffentlichen Leben zu. Die Kommunikation dient als „Regionale Verständigung“ um BürgerInnen zur Beteiligung zu motivieren. Die Aktivierung der Öffentlichkeit für Projekte oder Prozesse zu regionalen, nachhaltigen Themen stellt ProjektinitiatorInnen jedoch vor einige Herausforderungen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die kommunikativen Herausforderungen von BürgerInnenbeteiligungsprozessen im Hinblick auf Partizipation, Regionalität und Nachhaltigkeit darzulegen. Die angewendete Methode ist ein qualitativer Vergleich verschiedener Perspektiven von AkteurInnen. Dafür wurden sieben Personen in offenen, problemzentrierten Interviews zum Thema befragt. Die Basis dieser Arbeit ist die Theorie der Verständigungsorientierten Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (VÖA).
description: Public participation is a form of participation, which begins at a local level. To a growing number of people it is becoming increasingly important to help and shape sustainably the living and working enviroment, the region and the district. Informal and non-written forms of participation make it possible to take part in public life. The communication serves as a „regional wake-up call“ for citizens to motivate them to participate. However, raising awareness through public projects or processes on regional sustainability issues presents some challenges for project initiators. The goal of this thesis is to show challenges for communication of public participation processes with regard to participation, regionalism and sustainability. The methodology is a qualitative comparision from different views of stakeholders. Therefor seven people got interviewed in open and problem-centered interviews. The thesis is based on the theory of "Concensus-orientated PR“ (COPR).

description: Animal welfare provision by dairy farmers has implications that go well beyond the individual dairy farm. In this study, we assess dairy farmers' willingness to pay to support a policy aimed at improving calf welfare and link this to altruism. We conceptualise the farmer's decision into private reasons, and motivations to improve animal welfare on their own farm or eliminate bad practices elsewhere. Our data comes from a survey with over 400 Irish dairy farmers that included an experimental component. Specifically, we used a contingent valuation referendum method to elicit farmers' willingness to pay. We measured altruism with a financially incentivised social value orientation scale. Our findings indicate that most farmers are supportive of a policy scheme to improve animal welfare, and altruism is positively associated with higher willingness to pay. Specifically, our findings suggest that altruists are willing to pay €429 per annum, while individualistically minded farmers are willing to pay €220 per annum to support the new initiative. Our findings have important policy implications as we show that the majority of farmers are willing to financially support the implementation of a policy that can help to prevent public bads.

description: Oxidative damage to DNA has been implicated in the etiology of various human diseases. We are developing strategies to test the hypothesis that progressive diseases of aging, such as Alzheimer's are the product of accumulated and unrepaired DNA damage to neurons. These strategies focus on the direct measurement of oxidized nucleosides in human brain tissue DNA. One target analyte is thymidine glycol. Stable isotope labeled internal standards for the quantification of the major nucleosides have not been commercially available for research purposes. The recent availability of highly enriched $\sp{13}$C, $\sp{15}$N algal DNA has provided a new source for labeled double stranded DNA, for labeled nucleosides and for chemically modified nucleosides to use as internal standards. To utilize algal DNA, we have tested methods of DNA enzymatic cleavage, chromatographic separation of the nucleosides, and chemical methods of oxidation suitable for preparing $\mu$g to mg quantities of well characterized material using labeled nucleotides. The characterization of $\sp{13}$C, $\sp{15}$N nucleosides and thymidine glycol by NMR and mass spectra indicate that these compounds have been successfully isolated and purified.

description: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) frequently relapses after initial treatment, though it is possible that drug resistance occurs. Hence, it seems necessary to develop novel therapies such as gene therapy specifically via miRNA transfection. MicroRNA-101 has been considered as a tumor suppressor in different types of cancer. It is demonstrated that exogenous miR-101 transfection is associated with decreased viability in AML in this paper. Besides, the increase of pro-apoptotic protein BIM expression in both mRNA and protein level has been illustrated. The recent findings provide an insight into the novel function of miR-101 in AML by activating BIM as an important mediator in intrinsic apoptosis pathways. Generally, miR-101 has been considered as a therapeutic target in our data and might have a valuable role in AML.

Therapy resistance

description: SOX9 and SOX10 have both pro-and anti-tumourigenic functions. In melanoma, SOX9 and SOX10 expression are mutually exclusive, suggesting they play unique roles. Here we assessed the role of SOX9 and SOX10 on therapy resistance in BRAF V600E-driven melanoma. We used a panel of syngeneic murine YUMM (Yale University Murine Melanoma) cell lines and demonstrated that these YUMM cells indeed have mutually exclusive expression of SOX9 and SOX10, correlated with their vemurafenib resistance (a BRAFV600E inhibitor). Unexpectedly, exogenous expression of SOX9 or SOX10 did not alter resistance to vemurafenib. Interestingly, SOX9 knockout cells that underwent a vemurafenib treatment regimen didn’t transition to a resistant state and remained sensitive. Sox9 gene activation and Sox10 repression during the transition to the resistant state were in part due to chromatin remodeling. To further explore the role of SOX10 in resistance, we treated vemurafenib resistant YUMM lines with the oncolytic virus VSVΔ51, an emerging therapy. We showed that these resistant cells were also resistant to oncolytic virotherapy. Furthermore, loss of SOX10 recapitulates both the vemurafenib and the oncolytic resistant state in melanoma. SOX10 deletion resulted in an upregulation of various interferon stimulated genes which could play key roles in this cross resistant state. To gain further insights into the role of SOX10 in melanoma, we generated Sox10 knock-out YUMM lines. We found that the loss of SOX10 alters tumour growth by two distinct mechanisms. The loss of SOX10 induces cancer stem cell-like (CSC) properties and lead to a downregulation of CEACAM1, an inhibitory immune receptor found on both immune and cancer cells. This SOX10-CEACAM1 axis led to a decrease in anti-tumour CD8+ T cell infiltration in melanoma tumours. Taken together, we find that SOX9 plays a gatekeeper role during the transition to a targeted therapy resistant state while SOX10 enhances immune evasion and the differentiated state.

description: Traditional in vitro two-dimensional (2-D) culture systems only partly imitate the physiological and biochemical features of cells in their original tissue. In vivo, in organs and tissues, cells are surrounded by a three-dimensional (3-D) organization of supporting matrix and neighbouring cells, and a gradient of chemical and mechanical signals. Furthermore, the presence of blood flow and mechanical movement provides a dynamic environment (Jong et al., 2011). In contrast, traditional in vitro culture, carried out on 2-D plastic or glass substrates, typically provides a static environment, which, however is the base of the present understanding of many biological processes, tissue homeostasis as well as disease.

It is clear that this is not an exact representation of what is happening in vivo and the microenvironment provided by in vitro cell culture models are significantly different and can cause deviations in cell response and behaviour from those distinctive of in vivo tissues.

In order to translate the present basic knowledge in cell control, cell repair and regeneration from the laboratory bench to the clinical application, we need a better understanding of the cell and tissue interactions. This implies a detailed comprehension of the natural tissue environment, with its organization and local signals, in order to more closely mimic what happens in vivo, developing more physiological models for efficient in vitro systems. In particular, it is imperative to understand the role of the environmental cues which can be mainly divided into those of a chemical and mechanical nature.

description: Through collaborating with a rave collective, this project inquires into Acid Reign Productions (ARP) organizers' strategies and considerations for creating affects. Here, affective situations are conceptualized as smoothened timespaces of intensities that could involve harm reduction (HR). Following Toronto's resurgence of outdoors raves, this work discusses how HR in these raves presents to appease extremes and incoherencies, taking part in the collective's approach of 'maximizing mutual benefit'. Fieldnotes from ARP raves and conversations with organizers and attendees are pulled together, describing ways of augmenting intensities and how they affect and are affected by the contexts from which ARP emerges. Materials, audiovisuals, roles, substances, and conversations take part in creating affective situations and shape forms of HR in ARP beyond biomedical logics. By creating affects, ARP opens up capacities for flux and indeterminacies, even when the group may engage with more formal organizations and frameworks.
Sustainability in Emerging Chamber Music Festivals

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This paper is a comprehensive study of the factors that promote an emerging chamber music festival's sustainability, its ability to fulfill its mission today and to develop the capacity to serve its mission into the future. While financial health, an organization's ability to support its expenses, is a necessary component of sustainability, this paper also considers other important elements. Observing 23 chamber music festivals founded since 2000, the paper views sustainability through several lenses, including organizational structure and community connections. In observing organizational structure, the paper explores the festivals' internal structure, including leadership and planning, as well as financial health, including budgets, revenue streams, and modes of long-term financial sustainability. In viewing the festivals' community connections, the paper discusses how festivals engage with their communities, and the impact of community contributions. The study finds that establishing strong community connections is a key component to a festival's sustainability.

description: Reducing nitrogen losses and the associated negative impact on the environment is a major challenge in agricultural production. Precision agricultural technologies are supposed to help solving this challenge. Since the adoption rate of such technologies in small-scale farming systems is still rather low, additional policy measures are needed to support their adoption. In this study, we investigate the efficiency of such measures using an agent-based modelling framework that combines cognitive and dispositional farmers’ characteristics with a bio-economic optimization model. We simulate the effect of different policies on the adoption decisions of farmers in a Swiss case study. We use census, choice experiment and survey data from Swiss crop farmers to calibrate the agent-based model. Our results help to better assess the impact of different policy measures on the adoption decisions regarding site-specific fertilization and to inform policy makers on the most efficient measures.

title: Visuelle politische Kommunikation - über die Wahrnehmung von Wahlplakaten
Creators: name: Rapp, Elisabeth
Year: 2014

description: Der Wahrnehmung visueller politischer Kommunikation wird in der Kommunikationswissenschaft noch zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Im Hinblick auf die zunehmende Wichtigkeit von visueller politischer Kommunikation ist die Wahrnehmung von politischen Wahlplakaten vergleichsweise unerforscht. Generell steht die Frage im Raum, wie visuelle politische Kommunikation von Individuen betrachtet und wahrgenommen wird. Hier stellt die Methode der Blickregistrierung einen weiteren relevanten Anknüpfungspunkt für diese Forschungsarbeit dar. Mit dem theoretischen Hintergrund des Selective-Exposure-Ansatzes und der Untersuchung des Blickverhaltens durch eine Eye-Tracking-Studie wurden mögliche Unterschiede in der Wahrnehmung in Bezug auf die politische Prädisposition von Individuen erforscht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen v.a. entsprechend der Intensität der Betrachtung einen deutlichen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Blickverhalten und der politischen Einstellung. Weitere Studien in dem Bereich sind jedoch notwendig, um die Forschung der visuellen politischen Kommunikation voran zu treiben und weitere Erkenntnisse, v.a. hinsichtlich politischer Diskurse, sowohl für die Wissenschaft als auch für die Gesellschaft zu erlangen.
description: To this day the analysis of perception of visual political communication has not received an appropriate amount of attention so far in the field of communication science. In view of an increasing interest in visual communication there is rather little research in the perception of political advertisements. The aim of this study was to test the perception and exposure of visual political communication among a diverse group with different political attitudes. For the empirical part of the study eye-tracking technology was used with about 60 probands. The theory of selective exposure provided the appropriate background for analyzing the data. Although the correlation among one´s view and the political predisposition is fairly obvious the data has to be completed in this field to advance the research progress of visual communication. Moreover, the findings also show that more research is necessary to further the discussion on political discourses.

description: Diese Magisterarbeit untersucht den Effekt der Einstellung zur Werbetechnik „Product Placement“ und dessen Auswirkungen auf die Markeneinstellung und die Markenwahl. Im Gegensatz zu bisherigen Forschungen wurde versucht die Einstellung der ProbandInnen zu Product Placement, unter anderem, auch positiv zu primen. Daher beschäftigt sich jene Untersuchung auch mit der grundlegenden Frage, ob die Einstellung zu dieser Werbeform manipulierbar ist. Unter der Berücksichtigung von möglichen beeinflussenden Faktoren wie der Favorisierung des Programms (Program Liking), personenbezogenen Variablen und der Identifikation mit einem Protagonisten wurden die Effekte von Product Placement untersucht. Jene Zusammenhänge wurden anhand eines Online-Fragebogens mit einem 3x2 faktoriellen Design ermittelt. Eine experimentelle Manipulation sollte die Einstellung der Versuchspersonen zur Werbeform Product Placement entweder negativ, neutral oder positiv beeinflussen. Zudem wurde eine zufällige Einteilung der TeilnehmerInnen in eine Versuchs- oder Kontrollgruppe vorgenommen. Das audiovisuelle Stimulusmaterial der Versuchsgruppe enthielt ein Product Placement einer Chips-Marke, während die Kontrollgruppe jenes nicht zu sehen bekam. Zusätzlich konnten die ProbandInnen zwischen einer deutschen oder englischen Vertonung des Stimulusmaterials wählen, welche sich bis auf die Sprache nicht unterschieden. Anhand einer Verlosung wurde ein Choice Test durchgeführt, um Markenwahleffekte zu testen. Die Manipulation der Einstellung zu Product Placement erwies sich als zu schwach und konnte keine signifikanten Effekte erzeugen. Auf der quasi-experimentellen Ebene wurde allerdings ein genereller Effekt der Einstellung zur Werbeform auf die Markeneinstellung aller abgefragten Produkte festgestellt. Außerdem konnte ein Effekt des Alters sowie der Programmfavorisierung auf die Einstellung zu Product Placement erkannt werden. Die Darbietung von Product Placement führte sogar bei älteren Personen zu einer negativen Ausprägung hinsichtlich der Markenwahl. Ein Effekt der Einstellung zu Product Placement auf die Markeneinstellung sowie Markenwahl aufgrund der Darbietung von Product Placement konnte allerdings nicht gefunden werden. Daher wäre eine Untersuchung der Faktoren, welche die Einstellung zu Product Placement beeinflussen, sowie ein anderer Manipulationszugang für zukünftige Forschungen von Vorteil.

description: How can a firm manage multiple and interdependent business models in the same industry? The literature has identified several possible strategies to do this but we still do not know under what circumstances one strategy may be better than others. Our paper identifies (substitute and complementary) interdependencies among business models as a key contingency and demonstrates through simulation modelling that the number, type and magnitude of these interdependencies, as well as their visibility and the pre-specification of strategic choices, determine which organizational structure is optimal in managing multiple business models.

description: Large-scale extracellular recording techniques represent a major advance in interrogating the structure and function of neuronal circuits. However, the field lacks methods that can resolve cell type identity in a principled way, while simultaneously scaling to thousands of neurons. Here, I introduce a pipeline for the analysis of large-scale recordings of in vitro cortical activity that not only allows for the detection of spikes produced by single neurons (spike sorting), but also allows for the reliable distinction between genetically determined cell types by utilizing viral and optogenetic strategies to provide a ground-truth validation. Importantly, this novel methodology tightly integrates the analysis pipeline to an experimental protocol allowing for the dynamical probing of distinct cell types while simultaneously recording from large populations. The novelty of the proposed approach is to combine a stream of analysis, and experimental techniques in an end-to-end fashion as follows. First, individual spike waveforms are fitted by spline interpolation to estimate their half-amplitude and peak-to-peak durations. These values are then entered in a principal component analysis with k-means clustering to identify uncorrelated signals from single channels on the array. Optimal separability of clusters is assessed by linear discriminant analysis. Finally, each channel's source location is identified using spatiotemporal characteristics of spike waveforms across the array. I validated this pipeline using activity monitored from mouse prefrontal cortex in vitro slices with an array of 4,096 closely-spaced channels, in conjunction with optogenetic, viral and pharmacological strategies. I show an eﬀective distinction of regular-spiking excitatory neurons from genetically validated fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons using measures of action potential waveform, Fano factor, and spatially-dependent correlations. In sum, the proposed approach allows for a comprehensive characterization of neuronal activity obtained from diﬀerent cell types in high-density multielectrode recordings. This provides a scalable approach to investigate the interplay between distinct cell types in microcircuits of the brain.

description: Die Arbeit thematisiert die diskursive Konstruktion von Gesundheit und Körperbewusstsein im kulinarischen Journalismus am Beispiel des seit den 1980er Jahren in Österreich erscheinenden Gusto-Journals. Im Rahmen einer historisch-kulturwissenschaftlichen und diskursanalytischen Herangehensweise werden ratgebende und informierende Artikel auf Regelmäßigkeiten und Auffälligkeiten hin untersucht. Dadurch ergeben sich Hinweise auf Veränderungen der in den Alltag integrierten Vorstellungen des gesunden und gewinnbringenden Lebensstils. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass im kulinarischen Journalismus in den frühen 1980er Jahren vor allem schlankheitsideologische Hintergründe dominierten und ganzheitliche Vorstellungen von Ernährung, Gesundheit und Körperbewusstsein noch nicht vorhanden waren. Gegen Ende der 1980er Jahre äußerten sich - einhergehend mit internationalen Bestrebungen der Ottawa-Charta der WHO und allmählich auch nationalpolitischen Forderungen zur nachhaltigen Ernährung - Tendenzen einer von außen geleiteten Gesundheitsförderung im kulinarischen Journalismus. Seit den 1990er Jahren setzte sich schließlich ein auf individueller Selbstführung basierender postmoderner Lebensstil mit den Maximen Gesundheit, Schlankheit und Vitalität durch. Holistische Vorstellungen vom Wohlbefinden wurden mit hohem diskursivem Wirkungspotential den Leserinnen und Lesern präsentiert und die Herstellung des gesunden, fitten und schlanken Körpers marktvermittelt suggeriert.

description: This thesis explores structural and electronic properties of 2D crystals and van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) at the nanometre scale. In particular, the experiments presented characterize modifications to the local density of states induced by defects, moiré potentials, or by disrupted topological order of surface states. Such structures can be utilized as part of a platform to explore physics phenomena by tuning interlayer interactions, which can lead to emergent properties previously only accessible in more complicated systems. Bulk 2D crystals are explored using scanning-probe techniques, with the intent of learning and applying their characteristics to tailored van der Waals heterostructures. Room temperature and low temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning probe microscopy (scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy) is used as the primary characterization method. The main results in this thesis are: (a) observations and characterization of the local lattice defects in bulk semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S), (b) the development of a fabrication technique for creating atomically clean van der Waals heterostructures, (c) an example of such a device through STM/S measurement of a graphene-rhenium disulfide heterostructure, and (d) scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of bulk crystals of antiferromagnetic topological insulator, MnBi₂Te₄, where the spatial heterogeneity of the spectroscopic features are investigated. Altogether, these results establish groundwork for building more complex heterostructures which are suitable for scanning probe experiments and assist in exploring fundamental physics phenomena through the moiré framework.

description: Gravitational instability is thought to be one of the main drivers of angular momentum transport in young protoplanetary discs. The disc around Elias 2-27 offers a unique example of gravitational instability at work. It is young and massive, displaying two prominent spiral arms in dust continuum emission and global non-axisymmetric kinematic signatures in molecular line data. In this work, we used archival ALMA observations of $^{13}$CO line emission to measure the efficiency of angular momentum transport in the Elias 2-27 system through the kinematic signatures generated by gravitational instability, known as 'GI wiggles'. Assuming the angular momentum is transported by the observed spiral structure and leveraging previously-derived dynamical disc mass measurements, the amount of angular momentum transport we found corresponds to an $α-$viscosity of $α=0.038\pm0.018$. This value implies an accretion rate onto the central star of $\log_{10}\dot{M}_\star=-6.99\pm0.17\text{M}_\odot/\text{yr, which}$ reproduces the one observed value of $\log_{10}\dot{M}_{\star,\text{obs}}=-7.2\pm0.5\text{M}_\odot/\text{yr }$ very well. The excellent agreement we have found serves as further proof that gravitational instability is the main driver of angular momentum transport acting in this system.

description: A powerful idea put forward in the recent philosophy of science literature is that scientific models are best understood as instruments, tools or, more generally, artifacts. This idea has thus far been developed in combination with the more traditional representational approach: accordingly, current artifactualist accounts treat models as representational tools. But artifactualism and representationalism are independent views, and adopting one does not require acceptance of the other. This paper argues that a leaner version of artifactualism, free of representationalist assumptions, is both desirable and viable. Taking seriously the idea that models are artifacts can help us philosophically to make sense of how and why scientific modeling works even without reference to representation.

description: Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (Mrs. H. H. A. Beach) (1867-1944) is recognized as the first American woman to achieve great distinction as a composer. This thesis examines the anthems, liturgical music, and the Cantata, Canticle of the Sun, and demonstrates when these works were written, where they were performed, how they were received, and how widespread was their performance. The texts and music are examined for their relationship to the late nineteenth-century theological and philosophical ideas of the Episcopal Church. Research methodology centers upon two collections of original materials: the Arthur P. Schmidt Publishing Company Collection in the Library of Congress and the Amy Beach Collection in the University of New Hampshire Library, which include correspondence, music manuscripts, scrapbooks, and memorabilia. The comprehensive information set forth in this thesis makes clear that Beach made a significant contribution to American sacred choral repertoire.

description: Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have been proposed as a way to identify and authenticate electronic devices. Recently, several ideas have been presented to that aim to achieve the same for quantum devices. Some of these constructions apply single-qubit gates in order to provide a secure fingerprint of the quantum device. In this work, we formalize the class of classical readout quantum PUFs (CR-QPUFs) using the statistical query (SQ) model and explicitly show insufficient security for CR-QPUFs based on single-qubit rotation gates, when the adversary has SQ access to the CR-QPUF. We demonstrate how a malicious party can learn the CR-QPUF characteristics and forge the signature of a quantum device through a modelling attack using a simple regression of low-degree polynomials. The proposed modelling attack was successfully implemented in a real-world scenario on real IBM Q quantum machines. We thoroughly discuss the prospects and problems of CR-QPUFs where quantum device imperfections are used as a secure fingerprint.

description: Post–harvest losses (PHL) are particularly critical for developing countries. This is especially evident in Sub-Saharan (SSA) countries, where PHL are estimated to be about 37% of the total food production. Climate is a core determinant of cereal losses, as biodeterioration factors are sensitive to the temperature and humidity. In this paper we analyse to what extent climatic conditions affect PHL. The analysis considers Sub-Saharan countries and focuses on maize production over the period 2000-2020 period. Data on PHL are taken from APHLIS (African Postharvest Losses Information System), which represents a network of cereals and grain experts in SSA countries. Data collected by APHLIS are aimed at improving existing aggregated data on PHL (e.g. FAO data). PHL data quantify the percentage loss for each phase of the post-harvest chain. APHLIS has some unique characteristics, as it provides PHL at the province (Administrative 1 - ADM1) level over time. The main results of our analysis suggest that humidity is the most relevant determinant of PHL in this region. Our results are relevant, especially if we consider the future instability of the climate in this area.
Normal volunteers: Who are they?

description: Twenty-one NIH normal volunteers, who had previously participated in risky, invasive biomedical research experiments were compared to twelve volunteers for less invasive and risky experiments. Comparisons used measures of personality (MMPI-2), social support (The Social Support Questionnaire), motivation for participation, and ratings of riskiness and invasiveness for a sample of actual research protocols. There were few differences between the two groups. However, when both groups' data were combined, NIH normal volunteers showed a markedly defensive or "faking good" profile on the MMPI-2, with numerous subscales found to be significantly lower than those of the test's normative sample. Although NIH volunteers showed no evidence of obvious psychopathology, in view of their defensiveness, it cannot be concluded that they are in fact free of pathology. Physiological measures or self-report scales not probing for psychopathology may reduce defensiveness and thus provide more information.
