title: Verstehen durch Hören und Sehen
Creators: name: Toth, Clara Aimée
Year: 2010

description: Auf Basis einer umfangreichen Literaturrecherche beschäftigt sich diese Diplomarbeit mit dem Einsatz des Mediums Film im Unterricht Deutsch als Fremdsprache. Zum einen wird die Diskussion beleuchtet, die um Film als unterrichtlichen Gegenstand seit vielen Jahren geführt wird, zum anderen das vielfältige Potenzial von Film als authentischem Kulturprodukt sowie der konkrete methodische Einsatz beschrieben. Es wird deutlich, welche Fähigkeiten und welches Wissen der/die RezipientIn anwenden muss, um einen filmischen Text verstehen zu können und wie sich diese Prozesse in Bezug auf Fremdsprachenlernen nutzen lassen. So wird detailliert auf die fünfte und sechste Fertigkeit, dem Seh-Verstehen sowie dem Hör-Seh-Verstehen, eingegangen bzw. auf die Können- und Wissensbestände, auf prozeduraler und deklarativer Ebene. Auch Film als Zeichensystem wird vor allem durch die Theorie des Semiotikers Charles Sanders Peirce erläutert, der drei Arten von filmischen Zeichen – ikonischer, indexikalischer und symbolischer Art – klassifizierte. Ihre Verknüpfung in Form von Codes wird durch die Analyse unterschiedlicher Filmwissenschaftler wie Christian Metz und Thomas Kuchenbuch veranschaulicht. Dies dient u.a. dazu, den Aspekt der Kulturgebundenheit in der Rezeption deutlich zu machen, verweisen diese Zeichen und Codes doch großteils auf außerfilmisch codierte Wirklichkeitsbereiche, die aufgrund dessen zu unterschiedlichen Interpretationen auf LernerInnenseite führen können. Das vielfältige Potenzial, das Film für den Unterricht eröffnet, wird in der Arbeit in drei Bereiche gegliedert und einzeln thematisiert: die effektive Nutzung des Hör-Seh-Verstehens, die „veranschaulichte“ Landeskunde sowie die Steigerung der (Sprach-)Lernprozesse, die durch die Einbeziehung und Auslösung von Emotionen durch Film im Unterricht ermöglicht wird. Neben dieser theoretischen Besprechung werden unterschiedliche Modelle des Filmeinsatzes beschrieben sowie eine Aufgabentypologie skizziert. Auch wird auf die Möglichkeit einer didaktischen Filmanalyse, die sich mit den ästhetischen Mitteln des Films, wie Montage- und Schnitttechniken, Kameraperspektiven etc. auseinandersetzt, eingegangen. Zur Illustration dient der Ausschnitt einer Filmdidaktisierung von „Kirschblüten Hanami“ (Regie: Doris Dörrie, 2008), die 2009 im Österreich Institut publiziert wurde. Die Thematisierung erscheint besonders aktuell, da trotz der überwiegend positiven Bewertung des Einsatzes von Film im Fremdsprachenunterricht die Verwendung des Mediums, folgt man den meisten AutorInnen, noch kein gängiger Habitus geworden zu sein scheint und auch wenig Niederschlag im wissenschaftlichen Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache sowie in der Unterrichtspraxis findet.

description: INTRODUCTION Whether clinical prediction rules for pulmonary embolism are accepted and used among general internal medicine residents remains uncertain. We therefore evaluated the frequency of use and acceptability of the Revised Geneva Score (RGS) and the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI), and explored which factors were associated with rule use. MATERIALS/METHODS In an online survey among general internal medicine residents from 10 Swiss hospitals, we assessed rule acceptability using the Ottawa Acceptability of Decision Rules Instrument (OADRI) and explored the association between physician and training-related factors and rule use using mixed logistic regression models. RESULTS The response rate was 50.4% (433/859). Overall, 61% and 36% of the residents reported that they always or regularly use the RGS and the PESI, respectively. The mean overall OADRI score was 4.3 (scale 0-6) for the RGS and 4.1 for the PESI, indicating a good acceptability. Rule acceptability (odds ratio [OR] 6.19 per point, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.64-10.51), prior training in emergency medicine (OR 5.14, CI 2.20-12.01), and availability of internal guidelines recommending RGS use (OR 4.25, CI 2.15-8.43) were associated with RGS use. Rule acceptability (OR 6.43 per point, CI 4.17-9.92) and rule taught at medical school (OR 2.06, CI 1.24-3.43) were associated with PESI use. CONCLUSIONS The RGS was more frequently used than the PESI. Both rules were considered acceptable. Rule acceptability, prior training in emergency medicine, availability of internal guidelines, and rule taught at medical school were associated with rule use and represent potential targets for quality improvement interventions.

description: The objective of this paper is to critically evaluate the desirability of multilateral treaty that will take into account the needs of developed and developing countries alike as developed nations seek to protect their investment abroad while developing nations want to attract investment, be able to regulate and most importantly they want to limit access to international arbitration. In achieving this objective, the paper will give a snapshot of recent developments indicating a shift away from BITs framework, international investment arbitration and what was considered customary international law of investment. Following from these highlights, the paper will then consider the need of multilateral investment treaty against the current developments. Further, the paper will then discuss how such a multilateral treaty should look like in order to get a buy-in from both the developed and developing nations.

title: Untersuchungen zur Entstehung reaktiver Sauerstoffspecies bei der kontinuierlichen Einnahme ausgewählter Hormonpräparate
Creators: name: Donhauser, Luzia

description: Beim oxidativen Abbau von Steroidhormonen durch das Cytochrom-P450-System in der Leber kommt es zur Entstehung von Sauerstoffradikalen und reaktiven Zwischenprodukten. Gleichzeitig führt die Einnahme von Hormonpräparaten zu einer Verschiebung im Antioxidantienstatus. Da Steroidhormonpräparate auf der einen Seite die antioxidativen Schutzmechanismen schwächen und auf der anderen Seite die Radikalbelastung im Körper erhöhen, führt ihre Einnahme zu Oxidativem Stress. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit soll der Einfluss ausgewählter Hormonpräparate unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung, Dosierung und Indikationsstellung auf die Radikalbelastung näher betrachtet werden. Dazu wird eine oxidative Stressmessung in der Apotheke und auf der Universiät Wien an Probanden/innen, die Hormonräparate einnehmen,durchgeführt. Mit Hilfe neuer sofortdiagnostischer Methoden ist es möglich in Routinemessung die Konzentration von Hydroperoxiden, die im Rahmen der Lipidperoxidation gebildet werden, sehr rasch im Blut zu ermitteln. Lipidperoxidation ist tatsächlich bei Frauen, die mit Estrogen-Gestagen-Kombinationspräparaten verhüten, erhöht. Die Applikation von reinen Gestagenpräparaten erhöht die Radikalwerte nicht und scheint, was den Oxidativen Stress betrifft, die Verhütungsmethode der Wahl zu sein. Im Laufe der Messungen haben sich erhöhte Hydroperoxid-Spiegel auch bei der kontinuierlichen Einnahme von anderen Hormonpräparaten ergeben. Bei einem Vergleich der einzelnen Präparate wird sichtbar, dass Frauen, die hormonell verhüten, höhere Hydroperoxid-Spiegel aufweisen als Frauen unter Schilddrüsenhormonsubstitution bei Hypothyreose und Hormonersatztherapie in der Menopause. Die Supplementierung von Hormonpräparaten scheint auf die Bildung freier Radikale weniger Einfluss zu haben, als die Einnahme hormoneller Verhütungsmittel.

description: OBJECTIVE We estimated and compared the risk of clinically identified acquired drug resistance under i) immediate initiation (the currently recommended ART initiation strategy), ii) initiation with CD4 500 at baseline, and 63% initiated ART during follow-up. Of 2,672 tests for acquired drug resistance, 794 found resistance. The estimated 7-year risk (95% CI) of acquired drug resistance was 3.2% (2.8,3.5) for immediate initiation, 3.1% (2.7,3.3) for initiation with CD4

description: BACKGROUND Little is known about predictors and outcomes of recurrent venous thromboembolism in elderly patients. METHODS We prospectively followed up 991 patients aged ≥65 years with acute venous thromboembolism in a multicenter Swiss cohort study. The primary outcome was symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism. We explored the association between baseline characteristics and treatments and recurrent venous thromboembolism using competing risk regression, adjusting for periods of anticoagulation as a time-varying co-variate. We also assessed the clinical consequences (case-fatality, localization) of recurrent venous thromboembolism. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 30 months, 122 patients developed recurrent venous thromboembolism, corresponding to a 3-year cumulative incidence of 14.8%. The case-fatality of recurrence was high (20.5%), particularly in patients with unprovoked (23%) and cancer-related venous thromboembolism (29%). After adjustment, only unprovoked venous thromboembolism (sub-hazard ratio [SHR] 1.67 compared to provoked venous thromboembolism; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-2.77) and proximal deep vein thrombosis (SHR 2.41 compared to isolated distal deep vein thrombosis; 95% CI 1.07-5.38) were significantly associated with recurrence. Patients with initial pulmonary embolism were more likely to have another pulmonary embolism as a recurrent event than patients with deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients with acute venous thromboembolism have a substantial long-term risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism and recurrence carries a high case-fatality rate. Only two factors, unprovoked venous thromboembolism and proximal deep vein thrombosis, were independently associated with recurrent venous thromboembolism, indicating that traditional risk factors for venous thromboembolism recurrence (e.g., cancer) may be less relevant in the elderly.

description: The cometary coma is a unique phenomenon in the solar system being a planetary atmosphere influenced by little or no gravity. As a comet approaches the sun, the water vapor with some fraction of other gases sublimate, generating a cloud of gas, ice and other refractory materials (rocky and organic dust) ejected from the surface of the nucleus. Sublimating gas molecules undergo frequent collisions and photochemical processes in the near‐nucleus region. Owing to its negligible gravity, comets produce a large and highly variable extensive dusty coma with a size much larger than the characteristic size of the cometary nucleus. The Rosetta spacecraft is en route to comet 67P/Churyumov‐Gerasimenko for a rendezvous, landing, and extensive orbital phase beginning in 2014. Both, interpretation of measurements and safety consideration of the spacecraft require modeling of the comet’s dusty gas environment. In this work we present results of a numerical study of multispecies gaseous and electrically charged dust environment of comet Chyuryumov‐Gerasimenko. Both, gas and dust phases of the coma are simulated kinetically. Photolytic reactions are taken into account. Parameters of the ambient plasma as well as the distribution of electric/magnetic fields are obtained from an MHD simulation [1] of the coma connected to the solar wind. Trajectories of ions and electrically charged dust grains are simulated by accounting for the Lorentz force and the nucleus gravity.

description: We analyze the changing relationship between education and assortative mating over the course of educational expansion in Switzerland between 1970 and 2000. The overall rate of educationally homogamous partnerships has remained rather stable, while partnerlessness increased and became less educationally selective. An analysis taking the opportunity structure into account reveals that the inclination toward educationally homogamous partnerships is most pronounced in lower educational groups, but that the differences between educational groups decreased over time.
description: Für die Schweiz wird mit Zensusdaten untersucht, wie sich der Zusammenhang zwischen Bildung und Partnerwahl zwischen 1970 und 2000 im Zuge der Bildungsexpansion gewandelt hat. Die Rate bildungshomogamer Partnerschaften blieb insgesamt relativ stabil, während Partnerlosigkeit zunahm und sich zwischen den Bildungsgruppen tendenziell anglich. Eine um die Gelegenheitsstruktur bereinigte Analyse zeigt, dass die Neigung für homogame Partnerschaften in den unteren Bildungsgruppen am stärksten ausgeprägt ist, die Unterschiede zwischen den Bildungsgruppen jedoch über die Zeit abgenommen haben.
description: Cet article analyse l’évolution du lien entre formation et choix du partenaire entre 1970 et 2000 au cours de l’expansion du système de formation en Suisse. Le taux de partenariats caractérisés par une homogamie de formation est resté relativement stable dans l’ensemble, tandis que le taux de personnes vivant sans partenaire a augmenté et est devenu moins dépendant du niveau de formation. Une analyse tenant compte des opportunités différentielles révèle que le penchant pour l’homogamie est plus fort dans les groupes au niveau de formation inférieur, mais que l’écart entre les groupes de formation a diminué au cours des années.

description: Currently, efficient management of product reception is a key challenge for retail sector companies such as Comercializadora Retail S.A. Deficiencies in this process, such as the lack of standardized protocols, insufficient staff training, and time wasted in information management, can significantly affect operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Therefore, this study focuses on exploring how the implementation of a product reception system for optimizing this process can help address these deficiencies.

The proposed system aims not only to improve control and organization in product reception but also to address critical aspects such as efficiency in accessing and storing related information, data security, seamless integration with existing company systems, and the promotion of greater collaboration between staff and suppliers involved in this process.

Throughout this project, we will examine in detail how the adoption of this system can positively impact the management and monitoring of product reception at Comercializadora Retail S.A., offering practical and effective solutions to improve operational efficiency and ensure an optimal customer experience.

This case study aims to demonstrate that the implementation of an automated and optimized product reception system is not only viable but also necessary to meet current and future challenges in the retail sector, thereby ensuring greater competitiveness and customer satisfaction.

description: PURPOSE Supraglottic airway devices (SGAs) can be used as conduits for intubation, but data and manufacturers' recommendations for pediatric SGA are incomplete and sometimes misleading. This situation can result in the use of incompatible combinations of SGAs and endotracheal tubes (ETTs). To address this mismatch possibility, we performed an in vitro study to establish an overview of possible combinations of SGAs and ETTs. METHODS We tested the passage of ETTs through SGAs in vitro and subsequent SGA removal with eight pediatric SGAs and six ETTs of different sizes in vitro. Results were compared with manufacturers' recommendations. Outcome parameters were the feasibility of passing the ETT through the SGA and then removing the SGA over the ETT. RESULTS The Air-Q® and the Air-Q®sp™ SGAs showed the best compatibility with ETTs across all sizes. Whenever intubation was possible, removal was possible for all SGAs with uncuffed ETTs. With many cuffed ETTs, however, SGA removal was impossible because the ETT cuff's pilot balloon was larger than the inner diameter of the SGA. Thus, although intubation was possible, removal of the SGA was not. The manufacturers' booklets do not warn of this limitation. CONCLUSIONS The use of combinations of SGA and ETTs with a size mismatch can lead to airway complications during intubation or to accidental extubation and tearing of the cuff pilot balloon line when removing the SGA. To avoid these problems, we devised a table that simplifies the choice of an appropriate SGA and ETT combination.

description: PRINTAUSGABE: 1 CD als Beilage -- Der gesangsähnliche Vortrag von Götterhymnen in Sanskrit („Stotra“, seltener auch „Stuti“ genannt) wurde im 20. Jahrhundert sehr vereinzelt von Indienforschern auf Tonband festgehalten. Da diese meist in definierten Versmaßen verfassten Psalmen von Hindus verschiedenen Bildungsgrades stets (halb)melodisch wiedergegeben werden, sind diese Tondokumente von musikwissenschaftlichem Interesse, bisher aber kaum als solche dargestellt worden. Ausgehend von der inhärenten Rhythmik eines gegebenen Versmaßes biete ich anhand dreier ausgewählter Hymnen Transkriptionen ihrer Rezitation. Rund 30 Tonbeispiele, die auf einer beiliegenden CD abzurufen sind, werden so hinsichtlich Melodik und Formverlauf diskutiert. Da mit dem Radiozeitalter Musiker verschiedener Herkunft und Ausbildung Vertonungen mit Instrumentalbegleitung produzieren, erreichen Stotras über ihren Status als religiöse Texte hinaus nun eine neue Funktion als musikalische Elemente - um nicht „Songtexte“ sagen zu müssen – und damit erhöhte internationale und Internet-Popularität.

Characterising the luminescence behaviour of ‘infinitely old’ quartz samples from Switzerland

description: Less than 20% of aliquots measured for a set of ‘infinitely old’ quartz samples (i.e. burial time >1 Ma) from the northern Alpine foreland of Switzerland were found to display a natural signal that was in saturation. The signals from small aliquots displayed a range of saturation levels of between ~300 and 600 Gy and dose recovery tests were successful up to 350 Gy. A comparison of dose response curves and test-dose response for a single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) and a sensitivity-corrected multiple-aliquot regenerative-dose (SC-MAR) protocols, showed similar growth and sensitivity. The addition of a large laboratory dose was able to bring the natural signals into saturation, and no evidence was found to suggest that the unsaturated signals were due to a problem with the SAR protocol. While laboratory isothermal decay measurements confirmed that the lifetime of the luminescence signal was insufficient beyond 1 Ma, a correction for the thermal loss of signal confirmed that natural signals should still be in saturation, and that thermal instability alone cannot explain the unsaturated signals. Fading tests recorded athermal loss of signal, and higher g-values displayed a significant correlation with lower levels of signal saturation. A combination of thermal and athermal loss of the signal is understood to be responsible for the unsaturated signals in these infinitely old samples. Extensive isothermal decay measurements revealed a surprisingly broad range of lifetimes for the quartz signals of over two orders of magnitude within the studied samples, and this was also observed in several batches of calibration quartz. While machine repeatability was shown to explain part of the observed variability, further work is encouraged on samples from other regions to establish the major source of the spread, and caution is recommended before making lifetime comparisons between studies and settings.

description: The genetic basis of parallel evolution of similar species is of great interest in evolutionary biology. In the adaptive radiation of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes, sister species with either blue or red-back male nuptial coloration have evolved repeatedly, often associated with shallower and deeper water, respectively. One such case is blue and red-backed Pundamilia species, for which we recently showed that a young species pair may have evolved through “hybrid parallel speciation”. Coalescent simulations suggested that the older species P. pundamilia (blue) and P. nyererei (red-back) admixed in the Mwanza Gulf and that new “nyererei-like” and “pundamilia-like” species evolved from the admixed population. Here, we use genome scans to study the genomic architecture of differentiation, and assess the influence of hybridization on the evolution of the younger species pair. For each of the two species pairs, we find over 300 genomic regions, widespread across the genome, which are highly differentiated. A subset of the most strongly differentiated regions of the older pair are also differentiated in the younger pair. These shared differentiated regions often show parallel allele frequency differences, consistent with the hypothesis that admixture-derived alleles were targeted by divergent selection in the hybrid population. However, two-thirds of the genomic regions that are highly differentiated between the younger species are not highly differentiated between the older species, suggesting independent evolutionary responses to selection pressures. Our analyses reveal how divergent selection on admixture-derived genetic variation can facilitate new speciation events.

description: Prior research suggests that team member communication based on mutual monitoring can improve team performance by enabling the manager to more closely relate individual team members’ contributions to their rewards. Given that diverse work settings affect the ability of team members to observe each other, this study investigates whether the benefit firms can extract from such communication is affected by differences in the type of information available to team members. Specifically, we investigate whether team members’ observations of each other’s effort, output, or both effort and output levels affect the usefulness of team member communication and, thus, team performance. Consistent with our predictions, our experimental study finds that team performance is higher when team members can observe only each other’s effort level than when they can observe both each other’s effort and Output levels; however, team performance is lower when team members can observe only each other’s output levels than when they can observe both each other’s effort and output levels. The intuition behind these results is that the type of observable information creates different degrees of ambiguity regarding fair rewards for team members’ contributions, and thus, the usefulness of the communication to the manager in relating individual team member contributions to their rewards. Results of our study contribute to both theory and practice by enhancing our understanding of the role of team member communication based on mutual monitoring in motivating effort in teams, and particularly, how its efficacy is affected by the type of information available to team members prior to communication.

description: We conduct an experiment to examine investment professionals’ use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures when making personal investment decisions or Investment recommendations to clients. We predict and find that investment professionals are more willing to personally invest and recommend investment to a client when a firm discloses positive CSR performance than when it makes no CSR disclosures. Investment professionals’ decisions and recommendations are influenced by CSR disclosures both because, on average, they believe that better CSR performance results in better current and longer-term financial performance and because they value the societal benefits of CSR activities. We also find that Investment professionals’ general beliefs regarding whether CSR activities benefit society affect how they assess firms’ CSR performance and their view of the relation between CSR performance and financial performance. Finally, investment professionals’ experience appears to protect them from the potential biasing effect of appealing pictures that accompany many CSR disclosures.

Dabei werden mehrere theoretische Konzepte zu Rate gezogen, mit deren Hilfe verschiedene Formen der „Hybridität“ und der „Mimikry“ herauskristallisiert und eine Annäherung an einen „dritten Raum“ versucht wird: Zum Einen dient die Postkoloniale Theorie nach Homi K. Bhabha, zum Anderen wahrnehmungsästhetische Thesen des Philosophen Gernot Böhme der Interpretation der konstruierten Geschichte um Migration, Suche nach Identität und Zugehörigkeit und einer möglichen Verortung der eigenen Person und des Lebens, vor allem im Roman „Die Brücke vom Goldenen Horn“. Die Arbeit analysiert außerdem erstmals den Einfluss Bertolt Brechts auf Emine Sevgi Özdamars Werk und verwendete Elemente des Epischen Theaters in ihrem Roman. Zusätzlich werden zentrale Motive, die die Darstellung der Wahrnehmung unterstreichen, näher beleuchtet. Verschiedenste Erzählstrategien, die die deutsch-türkische Autorin für die Gestaltung ihrer von großer Hybridität geprägten Texte verwendet, werden zur Abrundung der Arbeit näher betrachtet.

description: Solar-cosmic-ray-produced Ne (SCR-Ne), in the form of low cosmogenic ²¹Ne/²²Ne ratios (²¹Ne/²²Necos <0.8), is more likely to be found in rare meteorite classes, like Martian meteorites, than in ordinary chondrites. This may be the result of a sampling bias: SCR-Ne is better preserved in meteorites with small preatmospheric radii and these specimens are often only studied if they belong to unusual or rare classes. We measured He and Ne isotopic concentrations and nuclear tracks in 25 small unpaired ordinary chondrites from Oman. Most chondrites have been intensively heated during atmospheric entry as evidenced by the disturbed track records, the low ³He/²¹Ne ratios, the low 4He concentrations, and the high peak release temperatures. Concentration depth profiles indicate significant degassing; however, the Ne isotopes are mainly undisturbed. Remarkably, six chondrites have low ²¹Ne/²²Necos in the range 0.711–0.805. Using a new physical model for the calculation of SCR production rates, we show that four of the chondrites contain up to ~20% of SCR-Ne; they are analyzed in terms of preatmospheric sizes, cosmic ray exposure ages, mass ablation losses, and orbits. We conclude that SCR-Ne is preserved, regardless of the meteorite class, in specimens with small preatmospheric radii. Sampling bias explains the predominance of SCR-Ne in rare meteorites, although we cannot exclude that SCR-Ne is more common in Martian meteorites than it is in small ordinary chondrites.

description: BACKGROUND Obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are major health problems showing an inconstant relationship in the literature. Therefore, anthropometric parameters which are predictive and can simply be assessed at first patient presentation may lead to a better patient selection for ambulatory reflux monitoring. We aimed to examine the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) with gastroesophageal reflux activity during 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring. METHODS Seven hundred and seventy-one patients with GERD symptoms underwent 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring and high resolution manometry off proton pump inhibitors. Patients with known primary motility disorders of the esophagus and pre-existing endoscopic or operative procedure on esophagus or stomach were excluded from the study. Reflux parameters and anthropometric and demographic data from our prospectively gathered database were analyzed. We performed univariate and multivariate regression analysis to evaluate the associations of BMI and WHR with reflux parameters measured with 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring. KEY RESULTS WHR showed a significantly stronger association with esophageal acid exposure than BMI (P

description: We conduct an experiment to examine investment professionals’ use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures when making personal investment decisions or Investment recommendations to clients. We predict and find that investment professionals are more willing to personally invest and recommend investment to a client when a firm discloses positive CSR performance than when it makes no CSR disclosures. Investment professionals’ decisions and recommendations are influenced by CSR disclosures both because, on average, they believe that better CSR performance results in better current and longer-term financial performance and because they value the societal benefits of CSR activities. We also find that Investment professionals’ general beliefs regarding whether CSR activities benefit society affect how they assess firms’ CSR performance and their view of the relation between CSR performance and financial performance. Finally, investment professionals’ experience appears to protect them from the potential biasing effect of appealing pictures that accompany many CSR disclosures.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die anthropologischen Konzepte Schillers an der Hohen Karlsschule zu Stuttgart einer Analyse unterzogen. Die von ihm festgestellte psychophysische Doppelnatur des Menschen wird in ausgewählten Dramen (Die Räuber, Die Verschwörung des Fiesko zu Genua, Wallenstein-Trilogie) werkimmanent nachgewiesen. Im Kapitel Körper und Seele: die Anthropologie des 18. Jahrhunderts wird der Wandel des Anthropologiebegriffs bis zum 18. Jahrhundert beleuchtet. Die cartesianische Substanzentrennung und die Diskussion über das commercium mentis et corporis bilden den Ausgangspunkt der Analyse der Schillerschen Streitschriften. Im Kapitel Körper und Seele auf der Bühne: Die Räuber wird der literarischen Umsetzung des anthropologischen Konzepts nachgegangen. Einerseits wirkt der Körper auf die Seele, andererseits spiegeln sich seelische Befindlichkeiten im Körperlichen. Dies entspricht der Theorie des Influxus, welche Schiller im Rahmen seiner Dissertationen ausführt. Im Kapitel Die Verschwörung des Fiesko zu Genua wird die mehrdimensionale Persönlichkeitsstruktur Fieskos beleuchtet. Dieser befindet sich in einem Spannungsverhältnis, da er in mehrere einander ausschließende Richtungen strebt. Parallel zu den Räubern misshandelt die tierische Natur die geistige bzw. die geistige die tierische. Darüber hinaus wird ein weiteres anthropologisches Thema eröffnet: die manipulierende Aufmerksamkeit. Verschiedene, häufig durch äußeren Anstoß aufgerufene und aktualisierte Vorstellungen lösen einander als Zielvorstellungen ab, was zu radikalen Kehrtwendungen im Handeln Fieskos führt. Im Kapitel Wallenstein wird der Hauptprotagonist als gemischter Charakter dargestellt. Das System des Influxus tritt in Form eines Geist-Natur-Gegensatzes auf, welchen die Figur Wallenstein als Belastung erlebt. Besondere Beachtung findet die Misshandlung der tierischen Natur durch die geistige in Form der Abhängigkeit Wallensteins von der Astrologie.

description: OBJECTIVES To assess and compare the self-perceived Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of multimorbid patients and the general population using health utilities (HU) and visual analogue scale (VAS) methods. METHODS We analyzed data (n = 888) from a national, cross-sectional Swiss study of multimorbid patients recruited in primary care settings. Self-perceived HRQoL was assessed using the EQ-5D-3L instrument, composed of 1) a questionnaire on the five dimensions of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression (EQ-5D dimensions), and 2) a 0-100 (0 = worst- and 100 = best-imaginable health status) VAS. We described the EQ-5D dimensions and VAS and computed HU using a standard pan-European value set. HU and VAS are the two components of the overall HRQoL assessment. We examined the proportions of multimorbid patients reporting problems (moderate/severe) in each EQ-5D dimension, corresponding proportions without problems, and mean HU and VAS values across patient characteristics. To test differences between subgroups, we used chi-square tests for dichotomous outcomes and T-tests (ANOVA if more than two groups) for continuous outcomes. Finally, we compared observed and predicted HU and VAS values. RESULTS All 888 participants answered every EQ-5D item. Mean (SD) HU and VAS values were 0.70 (0.18) and 63.2 (19.2), respectively. HU and VAS were considerably and significantly lower in multimorbid patients than in the general population and were also lower in multimorbid patients below 60 years old and in women. Differences between observed and predicted means (SD) were -0.07 (0.18) for HU and -11.8 (20.3) for VAS. CONCLUSIONS Self-perceived HRQoL is considerably and significantly affected by multimorbidity. More attention should be given to developing interventions that improve the HRQoL of multimorbid patients, particularly women and those aged below 60 years old.

description: Let~$V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field~$k$ and with fraction field~$K$ of characteristic~\(0\). We clarify the analysis behind the Monsky--Washnitzer completion of a commutative $V$-algebra using spectral radius estimates for bounded subsets in complete bornological $V$-algebras. This leads us to a functorial chain complex for commutative $k$-algebras that computes Berthelot's rigid cohomology. This chain complex is related to the periodic cyclic homology of certain complete bornological $V$-algebras.
