description: In this post I illustrate an approach to detect Wikipedia articles whose contents are fully or largely based on content from a single online source, such as a full-text digitized newspaper archive or a digital text library. Using Dutch Wikipedia I track down 247 articles that owe their existence to Delpher and DBNL, two full-text collections operated by the KB, the national library of the Netherlands. This approach might be relevant for GLAMs that have digital text collections used by the Wikipedia community for writing articles.

description: Background: Cold atmospheric plasma could constitute an alternative against multi-drug resistant pathogens. Susceptibility of enterococci to cold atmospheric plasma was investigated in vitro. Methods: 39 clinical isolates of enterococci were grouped dependent on the most important resistance patterns and treated on agar using dielectric barrier discharge plasma. These included enterococci with combined vancomycin- and high-level gentamicin resistance, high-level resistance to gentamicin (HLGR) only, vancomycin resistance alone (VRE), and enterococci susceptible to both. Susceptibility to cold atmospheric plasma was evaluated based on the zones of inhibition and examined in terms of the enterococcal group and the “degree” of drug resistance. Results: Cold atmospheric plasma treatment killed all groups. Comparison of VRE and HLGR strains with non-VRE and non-HLGR isolates concerning zones of inhibition revealed that enterococci with special resistance patterns (VRE and HLGR) showed significantly smaller zones of inhibition than the sensitive ones. The mean of all isolates, irrespective of belonging to groups, showed smaller zones of inhibition with increasing “degree” of drug resistance. Conclusions: Cold atmospheric plasma treatment killed all isolates of enterococci, but its efficacy depended on the “degree” of drug resistance and on membership in special resistance groups with particular clinical-outbreak importance. However, a possible role of the different genetic lineages, which might be prone to acquiring more or less resistance phenotypes, may also play a role in this context.
DDI Adoption Metrics

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: DDI metadata standards are widely used to describe especially tabular data in depth, including their columns/variables. According to re3data.org, a global registry of research data repositories, they are the most prevalent standards with these capabilities. Additionally, re3data.org identifies OAI-PMH as the most widely adopted protocol for harvesting such metadata, with many endpoints available at re3data.org.

Building on this, Wenzig and Han (2024, doi:10.29173/iq1116) recently analyzed over 250,000 data records in the DDI- Codebook format from various sources. Their methods can be adapted for continuous monitoring of metadata usage and availability. Such an approach could help new users identify where and how other institutions implement DDI standards, offering concrete starting points for further research and community engagement.

A project funded by KonsortSWD – NFDI4Society is advancing these efforts with the following key deliverables:

Development of metrics on DDI standard adoption, including the number of institutions using DDI, number of institutions providing DDI metadata through standardized methods, and statistics about the availability of records in the different DDI standards (DDI-Codebook, DDI-Lifecycle, DDI-CDI).

Publication of datasets containing raw data for these metrics at each measurement interval.

An experimental dashboard displaying these metrics alongside links to individual metadata records and repositories.

This talk will provide an update on the project’s progress, which serves two immediate goals:

Visualizing the adoption of DDI metadata standards.

Encouraging institutions that have not yet made their metadata accessible to do so, enhancing their visibility within the community.

description: The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a well-established model organism to study the interaction between bacteria and phagocytes. In contrast, research using D. discoideum as a host model for fungi is rare. We describe a comprehensive study, which uses D. discoideum as a host model system to investigate the interaction with apathogenic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and pathogenic (Candida sp.) yeast. We show that Dictyostelium can be co-cultivated with yeasts on solid media, offering a convenient test to study the interaction between fungi and phagocytes. We demonstrate that a number of D. discoideum mutants increase (atg1−, kil1−, kil2−) or decrease (atg6−) the ability of the amoebae to predate yeast cells. On the yeast side, growth characteristics, reduced phagocytosis rate, as well as known virulence factors of C. albicans (EFG1, CPH1, HGC1, ICL1) contribute to the resistance of yeast cells against predation by the amoebae. Investigating haploid C. albicans strains, we suggest using the amoebae plate test for screening purposes after random mutagenesis. Finally, we discuss the potential of our adapted amoebae plate test to use D. discoideum for risk assessment of yeast strains.

Offering strategies for inclusion and for identifying tacit forms of misogynistic racism, this article analyzes the manifestation of the ideas of yellow peril and yellow fever in recent films and television series. The spectatorial aspect of racism has both fetishized Asian bodies and erased Asianness from content creators' visual landscapes. These case studies reveal that racialized thinking is institutionalized as power relations in the cultural and political life, take the form of political marginalization of minority groups, and cause emotional distress and physical harm within and beyond the fictional universe. ::::: Keywords: anti-Asian racism, misogyny, tropes of illness, colorblind gaze, techno-Orientalism ::::: DOI 10.1215/25783491-9645962

description: Based on data from the tobacco tax revenue statistics provided by Germany’s Federal Statistical Office, we analyse the development of sales of various tobacco products. In 2016, per capita consumption of tobacco products taxed in Germany was 918 manufactured cigarettes, 37 cigars/cigarillos, 308 g fine cut (equivalent to 462 cigarettes), and 31 g of (water) pipe tobacco. Between 1991 and 2016, the sale of manufactured cigarettes decreased by nearly half, while the sale of fine cut increased by around two thirds. If the amount of fine cut is expressed as cigarette equivalents (whereby 1kg of fine cut equals 1,500 cigarettes) and added to the number of manufactured cigarettes sold, then cigarette sales have decreased by one third since 1991. Numerous facts indicate that measures implemented in the context of a more restrictive tobacco control policy, such as tax increases and smoking bans, have contributed to this decrease in tobacco sales.

description: Background: Understanding the immune response to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is essential for a clear approach to tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy. We investigated the immunological recovery in cART-treated HIV-infected patients developing TB compared to those who remained free of TB. Methods: We extracted data of HIV-infected patients from a multicenter cohort for the HIV clinical surveillance in Germany. No patients included in our study had TB at the beginning of the observation. Using a longitudinal mixed model, we assessed the differences in the mean change of biomarkers (CD4+ cell count, CD8+ cell count, CD4:CD8 ratio and viral load) since cART initiation in patients who remained free of TB vs. those developing TB. To detect the best-fit trajectories of the immunological biomarkers, we applied a multivariable fractional polynomials model. Results: We analyzed a total of 10,671 HIV-infected patients including 139 patients who developed TB during follow-up. The highest TB incidences were observed during the first two years since cART initiation (0.32 and 0.50 per 100 person-years). In an adjusted multivariable mixed model, we found that the average change in CD4+ cell count recovery was significantly greater by 33 cells/μl in patients who remained free of TB compared with those developing TB. After the initial three months of cART, 65.6% of patients who remaining free of TB achieved CD4+ count of ≥400 cells/μl, while only 11.3% of patients developing TB reached this immunological status after the three months of cART. We found no differences in the average change of CD8+ cell count, CD4:CD8 ratio or viral load between the two-patient groups. Conclusion: All HIV-infected patients responded to cART. However, patients developing TB showed reduced recovery in CD4+ cell count and this might partly explain the incident TB in HIV-infected patients receiving cART. These findings reinforce the importance of adjunctive TB preventive therapy for patients with reduced recovery in CD4+ cell count.

Im Fall eines chronischen Verlaufs zählen sie zu den bedeutendsten Ursachen von Leberzirrhose und Leberzellkarzinom. Der Tod infolge eines Leberzellkarzinoms rangiert weltweit auf Platz zwei der krebsbedingten Todesursachen. Nach Schätzungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) sterben jährlich 887.000 Menschen weltweit an Hepatitis B.1,2 Wenngleich Deutschland in Bezug auf die Allgemeinbevölkerung zu den Niedrigprävalenzregionen zählt, sind auch hier vulnerable Gruppen besonders betroffen. Die Priorisierung des HBV auf Rangplatz vier von 127 infektiösen Erregern verdeutlicht die Relevanz für die nationale Surveillance.3 Auch die WHO hat durch ihren Aktionsplan gegen Virushepatitis die Aufmerksamkeit für Hepatitis B erhöht. Ziel des Plans ist die Eliminierung der Virushepatitis als eine Bedrohung der öffentlichen Gesundheit bis 2030.4 Neben der individuellen Krankheitslast ergibt sich damit eine erhebliche gesundheitspolitische und ökonomische Bedeutung.

description: Purpose: To investigate the association of psychotropic drug use with falls among older adults in Germany based on data from the National Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults 2008–2011 (DEGS1). Methods: DEGS1 collected data on drug use in the past 7 days and on falls occurred in the last 12 months. Study participants were older adults aged 65–79 years with complete data on drug use and falls (N = 1,833). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were derived from logistic regression models adjusting for potential confounders including socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors (alcohol drinking), body mass index and health conditions (frailty, vision impairment, disability, polypharmacy, blood pressure) as well as use of potential falls-risk-increasing drugs. SPSS complex sample methods were used for statistical analysis. Results: Compared to people without falls, people with falls (n = 370) had a higher psychotropic drug use (33.1% vs. 20.7%, p < .001). After adjusting for potential confounders, use of psychotropic drugs overall was associated with a higher risk of falls (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.14–2.37). This was particularly true for the use of synthetic psychotropic drugs (1.57, 1.08–2.28), antidepressants overall (2.88, 1.63–5.09) or synthetic antidepressants (2.66, 1.50–4.73), specifically, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (6.22, 2.28–17.0). Similar results were found for recurrent falls. Conclusions: Use of psychotropic drugs overall, especially synthetic antidepressants like SSRIs, is associated with higher risks of falls and recurrent falls among community dwelling older adults aged 65–79 years in Germany.

description: With the rapid growth and maturity of Question-Answering (QA) domain, non-factoid Question-Answering tasks are in high demand. However, existing Question-Answering systems are either fact-based, or highly keyword related and hard-coded. Moreover, if QA is to become more personable, sentiment of the question and answer should be taken into account. However, there is not much research done in the field of non-factoid Question-Answering systems based on sentiment analysis, that would enable a system to retrieve answers in a more emotionally intelligent way. This study investigates to what extent could prediction of the best answer be improved by adding an extended representation of sentiment information into non-factoid Question-Answering.

description: Since December 2015, the first dengue vaccine has been licensed in several Asian and Latin American countries for protection against disease from all four dengue virus serotypes. While the vaccine demonstrated an overall good safety and efficacy profile in clinical trials, some key research questions remain which make risk-benefit-assessment for some populations difficult. As for any new vaccine, several questions, such as very rare adverse events following immunization, duration of vaccine-induced protection and effectiveness when used in public health programs, will be addressed by post-licensure studies and by data from national surveillance systems after the vaccine has been introduced. However, the complexity of dengue epidemiology, pathogenesis and population immunity, as well as some characteristics of the currently licensed vaccine, and potentially also future, live-attenuated dengue vaccines, poses a challenge for evaluation through existing monitoring systems, especially in low and middle-income countries. Most notable are the different efficacies of the currently licensed vaccine by dengue serostatus at time of first vaccination and by dengue virus serotype, as well as the increased risk of dengue hospitalization among young vaccinated children observed three years after the start of vaccination in one of the trials. Currently, it is unknown if the last phenomenon is restricted to younger ages or could affect also seronegative individuals aged 9 years and older, who are included in the group for whom the vaccine has been licensed. In this paper, we summarize scientific and methodological considerations for public health surveillance and targeted post-licensure studies to address some key research questions related to live-attenuated dengue vaccines. Countries intending to introduce a dengue vaccine should assess their capacities to monitor and evaluate the vaccine’s effectiveness and safety and, where appropriate and possible, enhance their surveillance systems accordingly. Targeted studies are needed, especially to better understand the effects of vaccinating seronegative individuals.

Subjects: subject: 610 Medizin

description: We investigate the effects of cooperativity between contagion processes that spread and persist in a host population. We propose and analyze a dynamical model in which individuals that are affected by one transmissible agent A exhibit a higher than baseline propensity of being affected by a second agent B and vice versa. The model is a natural extension of the traditional susceptible-infected-susceptible model used for modeling single contagion processes. We show that cooperativity changes the dynamics of the system considerably when cooperativity is strong. The system exhibits discontinuous phase transitions not observed in single agent contagion, multi-stability, a separation of the traditional epidemic threshold into different thresholds for inception and extinction as well as hysteresis. These properties are robust and are corroborated by stochastic simulations on lattices and generic network topologies. Finally, we investigate wave propagation and transients in a spatially extended version of the model and show that especially for intermediate values of baseline reproduction ratios the system is characterized by various types of wave-front speeds. The system can exhibit spatially heterogeneous stationary states for some parameters and negative front speeds (receding wave fronts). The two agent model can be employed as a starting point for more complex contagion processes, involving several interacting agents, a model framework particularly suitable for modeling the spread and dynamics of microbiological ecosystems in host populations.
"Transgender Theory and Global Shakespeare," Performing Shakespearean Appropriations Essays in Honor of Christy Desmet, ed. Darlena Ciraulo, Matthew Kozusko, Robert Sawyer (Lanham, MD: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2022), 161-176

description: Even though Shakespeare's plays were initially performed by all-male casts, they were designed to appeal to diverse audiences. Many modern adaptations reimagine those plays as expressions of gender nonconformity. Over the past decades, prominent films and theater works have fostered new public conversations about the politics of appropriating gender identities in Shakespeare's plays around the world. This chapter makes an intervention in both transgender and Shakespeare studies by reading traditionally binary characters as transgender to shed new light on performances of gender identities in a global context. Viola as Cesario, for instance, is a trans masculine character, as she does not cross-dress for entertainment or mischief. She never recovers her "maiden's weeds" at the end of Twelfth Night. We could deploy transgender theories to examine other cases as well, such as the practice of cross-gender casting (Julie Taymor's 2010 film The Tempest), gender-bending performances (contemporary productions of Jacob Gordin's 1898 play The Jewish Queen Lear), and postgender adaptations, in which gender is not treated as a meaningful denominator of characterization (Michelle Terry's 2018 Globe productions). Performance theories inflected by transgender studies destabilize the line between normalcy and the deviant in and beyond scripted performance. ::::: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781683933601/Performing-Shakespearean-Appropriations-Essays-in-Honor-of-Christy-Desmet

description: Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are known to infect many mammals, including a number of nonhuman primates (NHPs). However, most data available arose from studies led on captive individuals and little is known about CMV diversity in wild NHPs. Here, we analyzed a community of wild nonhuman primates (seven species) in Taï National Park (TNP), Côte d’Ivoire, with two PCR systems targeting betaherpesviruses. CMV DNA was detected in 17/87 primates (4/7 species). Six novel CMVs were identified in sooty mangabeys, Campbell’s monkeys and Diana monkeys, respectively. In 3/17 positive individuals (from three NHP species), different CMVs were co-detected. A major part of the glycoprotein B coding sequences of the novel viruses was amplified and sequenced, and phylogenetic analyses were performed that included three previously discovered CMVs of western red colobus from TNP and published CMVs from other NHP species and geographic locations. We find that, despite this locally intensified sampling, NHP CMVs from TNP are completely host-specific, pinpointing the absence or rarity of cross-species transmission. We also show that on longer timescales the evolution of CMVs is characterized by frequent co-divergence with their hosts, although other processes, including lineage duplication and host switching, also have to be invoked to fully explain their evolutionary relationships.

description: Dynamic systems and robotic manipulators designed for time-optimal point-to-point motion are adversely affected by residual vibrations introduced due to the joint flexibility inherent in the system. Over the years, multiple techniques have been employed to improve the efficiency of such systems. While some techniques focus on increasing the system damping to efficiently dissipate the residual energy at the end of the move, several techniques achieve rapid repositioning by developing cleverly shaped input profiles that aim to reduce energy around the natural frequency to avoid exciting the resonant modes altogether. In this work, a numerical framework for constructing shaped inputs using a Versine basis function with peak acceleration constraint has been developed and improvements for the existing numerical framework for the Ramped Sinusoid basis function have been made to extend the range of values of the weighting function and improve the computational time. Performance metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the numerical framework in minimizing residual vibrations have been developed. The effects of peak input acceleration and weighting function on the residual vibration in the system have been studied. The effectiveness of the method has been tested under multiple conditions in simulations and the results were validated by performing experiments on a two-link flexible joint robotic arm. The simulation and experimental results conclusively show that the inputs developed using the constrained numerical approach result in better residual vibration performance as compared to that of an unshaped input.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine belonging at classroom and academic domain levels, extending research that has primarily investigated general school and classroom-level belonging. This examination accounts for the context-specific, instructional, and domain experiences of students’ belonging. More specifically, the goals of the research were to investigate the relations between belonging in science class with engagement, and to contrast students’ perspectives of science classroom belonging in traditional compared to inquiry curricular contexts. Middle school students from traditional and inquiry science contexts completed self-reported measures of science classroom belonging and science engagement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to evaluate students’ experiences of belonging in science class. Science classroom belonging was correlated with science engagement, with students from inquiry contexts reporting higher belonging and engagement quality. In both contexts, students reported common social, academic and contextual sources of belonging, with additional emphasis on content-based and interpersonal interactions. In comparing justifications between contexts on the role of competence for experienced belonging, students in traditional contexts reflected on self-focused, intrapersonal competence, while students in inquiry contexts reflected on interpersonal forms of competence. Students’ differentiated reports and conceptualization of belonging were related to contextual supports for involvement in authentic disciplinary practice and peer responsiveness.

Creators: name: Matluba Alijonova
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This scientific article analyzes the main anatomical systems of the human body - skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems - morphologically and functionally. Each system is studied separately, its role in the body, its interrelationships and biological significance are considered. The skeletal and muscular systems perform the locomotor function of the body, while the cardiovascular and respiratory systems play a role in metabolism and oxygenation of tissues. The nervous system is considered as a center that provides coordinated control of all physiological processes. The digestive and urinary systems provide nutrients to the body and remove waste products. The reproductive system, along with the function of reproduction, also plays an important role in endocrine balance. The article analyzes the structure, uniqueness of each system and the importance of their study in practical medicine on a scientific basis. This article will serve as a useful scientific resource for students studying anatomy in more depth, medical professionals, and biomedical researchers.
Artificial Intelligence Aided Rapid Trajectory Design in Complex Dynamical Environments
Creators: name: Das, Ashwati
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Designing trajectories in dynamically complex environments is challenging and can easily become intractable via solely manual design efforts. Thus, the problem is recast to blend traditional astrodynamics approaches with machine learning to develop a rapid and flexible trajectory design framework. This framework incorporates knowledge of the spacecraft performance specifications via the computation of Accessible Regions (ARs) that accommodate specific spacecraft acceleration levels for varied mission scenarios in a complex multi-body dynamical regime. Specifically, pathfinding agents, via Heuristically Accelerated Reinforcement Learning (HARL) and Dijkstra's algorithms, engage in a multi-dimensional combinatorial search to sequence advantageous natural states emerging from the ARs to construct initial guesses for end-to-end transfers. These alternative techniques incorporate various design considerations, for example, prioritizing computational time versus the pursuit of globally optimal solutions to meet multi-objective mission goals. The initial guesses constructed by pathfinding agents then leverage traditional numerical corrections processes to deliver continuous transport of a spacecraft from departure to destination. Solutions computed in the medium-fidelity Circular Restricted Three Body (CR3BP) model are then transitioned to a higher-fidelity ephemeris regime where the impact of time-dependent gravitational influences from multiple bodies is also explored.
A broad trade-space arises in this investigation in large part due to the rich and diverse dynamical flows available in the CR3BP. These dynamical pathways included in the search space via: (i) a pre-discretized database of known periodic orbit families; (ii) flow-models of these families of orbits/arcs `trained' via the supervised learning algorithms Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs); and, finally (iii) a free-form search that permits selection of both chaotic and ordered motion. All three approaches deliver variety in the constructed transfer paths. The first two options offer increased control over the nature of the transfer geometry while the free-form approach eliminates the need for a priori knowledge about available flows in the dynamical environment. The design framework enables varied transfer scenarios including orbit-orbit transport, s/c recovery during contingency events, and rendezvous with a pre-positioned object at an arrival orbit. Realistic mission considerations such as altitude constraints with respect to a primary are also incorporated.

description: Background Competence in delirium care begins with pre-registration education for health care professionals. Although a common complication for hospitalised patients, delirium is avoidable and reversible. Delirium requires early recognition in person-centred care. Students need to learn how to identify and effectively care for ‘at risk’ patients. Aim To identify and examine literature on how pre-registration health care professional students are prepared to recognise, assess, and deliver interventions to prevent delirium in practice, using digital/web based educational interventions. Method Mixed methods systematic review with narrative synthesis. A protocol was registered with PROSPERO. The review questions and search strategy were guided by the Population, Phenomena of Interest, Context (PICo) frame‑ work. The PRISMA framework guided the screening, data extraction and analysis. Database searches (MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO & Scopus) were undertaken in April 2023 for publications from 2012 to 2023. Covidence software [30] was used to extract and manage the data. Quality appraisal was guided by the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT) [31]. Findings Ten papers were included: mixed methods (2), qualitative (1) and quantitative (7). Medical students were the most studied group (n=5), followed by student nurses (n=4) and mixed nursing and medical students (n=1). Length of learning experience varied from 12 min virtual reality (VR) to a two-week ‘geriatrics’ elective. Learning was enhanced by player autonomy, engagement, safety, applicability, choices, multiple perspectives and moral reasoning opportunities. Discussion Digital programmes should be visually appealing, interactive with opportunities for practice and timely appropriate feedback.

THE LANGUAGE OF ENGAGEMENT IN MATH INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO TUTORIALS: A CORPUS-BASED STUDY
Creators: name: Swatek, Aleksandra M
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Linguistics not elsewhere classified

description: This dissertation investigates the linguistic features of engagement in spoken academic online and face-to-face instruction in mathematics on two platforms: Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare. In particular, the study analyses involvement features (personal pronouns and deixis) and interactional features (response elicitors, direct hypothetical reported speech). Using corpus linguistics methodology and register analysis framework (Biber &Conrad, 2009), I investigated normed frequency of occurrence for these features and multi-word expressions which contain them to reveal patterns of use. Additionally, I investigated the function of these features in concordance lines to reveal their use to engage audience in the learning process. The findings of this study suggests that Khan Academy instruction in mathematics relies on using conversational and academic spoken features similar to those found in the MIT lecture corpus, including frequent use of personal pronouns (especially we), and response elicitors (right?). The format of online video instruction also elicits more use of spatial deixis to draw attention to the elements on the virtual board. The findings of this exploratory study add to the growing literature on language used for educational purposes in online environments, especially the online academic spoken discourse.

description: Hintergrund: Kinder und Jugendliche sind die wichtigste Zielgruppe der Tabakprävention und des Nichtraucherschutzes. Der Beitrag analysiert die zeitliche Entwicklung und soziale Unterschiede im Tabakkonsum und in der Passivrauchbelastung bei Jugendlichen in Deutschland. Methoden: Die Auswertungen basieren auf zwei Erhebungen der Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland (KiGGS), die von 2003–2006 und 2009–2012 durchgeführt wurden. Jugendliche im Alter von 11 bis 17 Jahren wurden zu ihrem Rauchverhalten und zur Passivrauchbelastung (Basiserhebung: n = 6 812; Welle 1: n = 5 258) befragt. Der soziale Status wurde anhand eines Indexes bestimmt, in den Angaben der Eltern zu Bildung, Beruf und Einkommen eingingen. Ergebnisse: Innerhalb von rund sechs Jahren ist die Raucherprävalenz bei Jugendlichen von 20,4 % auf 12,0 % gesunken (p < 0,001). Der tägliche Konsum nahm von 13,3 % auf 5,4 % ab (p < 0,001). Der Anteil der Nichtraucher, die sich mehrmals pro Woche oder täglich in Räumen aufhalten, in denen geraucht wird, ging von 35,1 % auf 18,8 % zurück (p < 0,001). Je niedriger der soziale Status der Jugendlichen, desto stärker war vor allem der tägliche Tabakkonsum und die regelmäßige Passivrauchbelastung verbreitet. Schlussfolgerung: Die Befunde sprechen dafür, dass die zahlreichen Maßnahmen, die in den letzten Jahren umgesetzt wurden, um Heranwachsende vor den Gesundheitsgefahren des Rauchens und Passivrauchens zu schützen, unabhängig vom sozialen Status der Jugendlichen eine positive Wirkung erzielt haben.
