description: We propose a simple and efficient method to calculate the electronic self-energy in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), addressing a numerical instability often encountered when solving the Dyson equation. Our approach formulates the Dyson equation as a constrained optimization problem with a simple quadratic objective. The constraints on the self-energy are obtained via direct measurement of the leading order terms of its asymptotic expansion within a continuous time quantum Monte Carlo framework, and the use of the compact discrete Lehmann representation of the self-energy yields an optimization problem in a modest number of unknowns. We benchmark our method for the non-interacting Bethe lattice, as well as DMFT calculations for both model systems and ab-initio applications.

description: The aim of this study was to compare the bone regeneration after skull surgery by means of different recent osteotomy devices, piezosurgery medical (PM) and piezosurgery medical plus (PMP), versus a conventional rotary osteotomy device (OT) in 16 adult white New Zealand rabbits. After 14 days from surgery, the recovery of different resulting bone gaps were observed under structural and TEM-ultrastructural analyses. Our preliminary observations showed that the minimum distance from the osteotomy edge, at which it is possible to observe viable osteocytes in the pre-existent bone, was lower in PMP samples (average 38.2µm) with respect to PM (65.7µm) and OT (83.4µm) ones. Moreover, the size of osteotomy gap performed with OT was about twice in thickness with respect to those obtained by PM and PMP. In relation to our previous investigations (1) on two different types of bone formation occurring in sequence (static and dynamic osteogenesis), we observed in the present study that in PM and PMP samples the osteotomy gap is in a more advanced step of recovery with respect to OT ones: in OT samples numerous cords of stationary osteoblasts, forming preliminary bony trabeculae, were observed in the regenerating newly-formed bone (step of static osteogenesis); whereas, in PM and PMP samples bony trabeculae appeared mostly covered by typical prismatic osteoblasts, arranged in movable laminae (advanced step of dynamic osteogenesis). By histomorphometry, in PM and PMP samples with respect to OT ones: i) values of the regenerated bone area with respect to the total osteotomy area (BV/TV%) are about twice; ii) the number of TRAP positive osteoclasts per linear surface showed a significant increase, suggesting higher bone remodelling. Concerning SEM analysis, in all samples the regenerated bone displays, as expected, higher cell density and less mineralized matrix with respect to the pre-existent bone, independently from the device used. In conclusion, our results indicate that osteotomies performed with PM and PMP can be considered equivalent and show more advanced stages of healing compared to OT, in part due to the lower osteotomy thickness in PM and PMP with respect to OT.

description: Primary myelofibrosis is the most severe of the Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms and is associated with progressive TGF-β1-dependent scaring of the hematopoietic microenvironment which causes hematopoietic failure in the spleen.Nevertheless, the pathogenetic roleof TGF beta is still unclear because of the modest (2-fold) increases in its plasma levels, both in patients and in animal models. Transmission electron-microscopy (TEM) observations identified that spleen from PMF patients and Gata1low mice contained megakaryocytes with abnormally high levels of TGF-β and collagen fibres embedded in their cytoplasm. Additional immuno-TEM observations of spleen from Gata1low mice revealed the presence of numerous activated fibrocytes establishing with their protrusions a novel cellular interaction, defined as peripolesis, with megakaryocytes. These protrusions infiltrated the megakaryocyte cytoplasm releasing collagen that was eventually detected in its mature polymerized form. Megakaryocytes, engulfed with mature collagen fibres, acquired the morphology of para-apoptotic cells and, in the most advanced cases, were recognized as polylobated heterochromatic nuclei surrounded by collagen fibres strictly associated with TGF-β. These areas contained concentrations of TGF-β-gold particles ~1000-fold greater than normal and numerous myofibroblasts, an indication that TGF-β was bioactive. Loss-of-function studies indicated that peripolesis between megakaryocytes and fibrocytes required both TGF-β, possibly for inducing fibrocyte activation, and P-selectin, possibly for mediating interaction between the two cell types. Loss-of-function of TGF-β and P-selectin also prevented fibrosis. These observations identify that myelofibrosis is associated with pathological increases of TGF-β bioavailability and suggest a novel megakaryocyte-mediated mechanism that may increase TGF-β bioavailability in chronic inflammation.

description: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized to be a two-step process: the primary lesion consisting of the initial trauma; the secondary damage, characterized by multiple processes including inflammation, oxidative stress and cell death that lead to a significant expansion of the original damage and to an increase of the functional deficit (1). Among the aforementioned processes, the oxidative stress plays a significant role in pathophysiology of SCI. In this study, we evaluated the role of the melatonin, an indoleamine recognized as a potent antioxidant and immunomodulator (2, 3 )Reiter et al., 1995, Favero et al., 2015), on the oxidative stress, the tissue vitality and the neuritic plasticity in an experimental model of organotypic cultures of Sprague Dawley rat spinal cord slice (SPS) treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and/or melatonin. Five experimental protocols were performed: 1) control; 2) H2O2 exposure (50 μM); 3) melatonin treatment (5-10M for 24 hours); 4) H2O2 exposure and post-treatment with melatonin; 5) H2O2 exposure after pre-treatment with melatonin. Cellular death was investigated by propidium iodide (PI) assay and the vitality by MTT assay. The total thiols (SH) levels, contrasting the oxidative stress, the neuronal specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and the synaptophysin (Syp) immunopositivity were also evaluated. Melatonin significantly decreases the number of dead cells and increases slice vitality, mainly in slices treated before H2O2 exposure. Moreover, melatonin attenuates total thiols decrease and NeuN and Syp immunopositivity reduction. Overall, these findings suggest that melatonin may exert a potential beneficial effect upon the progression of SCI secondary damage, protecting the tissue from a further degeneration.This work was supported by grants from Giorgio Brunelli Foundation for Spinal Cord Injuries Research.

description: Catecholamines, including dopamine, are the principal neurotransmitters mediating a variety of functions in the CNS, such as motor control, cognition, emotion, memory processing, and endocrine modulation. Dysfunctional catecholamine neurotransmission is also implicated in neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. Human brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (1), have been recently approached by using fish models, especially cyprinid teleosts, given basic similarities of the fish brain to that of mammals. The distribution of the catecholaminergic system has been studied in the forebrain of several teleosts, but relevant information are not available for the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, which is a model species in several studies. In this study, we have analyzed the distribution of catecholaminergic neurons in the carp brain by immunohistochemistry using a specific antibody to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) on transverse serial frozen sections of the whole brain. In the carp brain, TH-immunoreactive (ir) neurons were present in several nuclei. In particular, positive neurons were detected in the ventral nucleus of the ventral telencephalic area. In addition, neuronal bodies and varicose fibers were stained for TH in the preoptic region, from the anterior to the posterior nuclei, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, in the ventrolateral and ventromedial talamic nuclei. Moreover TH-ir neurons were also distributed in the periventricular pretectum and locus coeruleus. TH-ir structures were localized not only in recognizable catecholaminergic nuclei, corresponding to those of mammalian brain, but also in regions that are uniquely organized in teleosts, including the ventral telencephalon, the anterior and posterior preoptic region, the ventromedial thalamus, suggesting that they may be useful in elucidating homologies between fish and mammal brain. The present study partially confirmed TH distribution in other CNS of cyprinids (2), and provided more detailed information to a better understanding of the evolution of catecholaminergic system in vertebrates.

description: \textit{Nasutitermes aquilinus} is an arboreal termite that exhibits polymorphic apterous castes, including workers and soldiers varying in size according to their sex and age. This study aimed to determine internidal variation on morphometry of the apterous castes in \textit{N. aquilinus}. A total of 198 apterous individuals was collected from two nests (1 and 2) and 12 measures were taken for each individual. A principal component analysis was performed to separate the insects into groups and the differences among these groups were evaluated using the PCA scores in a two-way ANOVA (factors: group and nest), followed by a TukeyHSD test. The analyses were performed in R. The results showed that the PCA separated the individuals into eight groups: larvae1, larvae2, minor and major workers, minor and major presoldiers, minor and major soldiers. The PC1 was responsible for 84.10% of separation among the groups (F = 888.5; df = 8,185; P < 0.001) and PC2 for 9.75% (F = 605.1; df = 8,185; P < 0.001). The variation between nests was significant for minor and major workers and presoldiers using the scores of PC1 (F = 453.5; df = 1,185; P < 0.001) and for major soldiers using the scores of PC2 (F = 175.7; df = 1,185; P < 0.001). The individuals from nest 2, which was headed by 14 neotenics, were significantly larger in size. No reproductives were found in the nest 1. This internidal morphometric variation might be related to the reproductives that give origin to the apterous individuals. Funding: CNPq.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressively worsening disease that affects specific brain areas involved in spatial memory, short-term memory and has a negative impact on the individual, limiting his ability of independent life. AD remains asymptomatic for a considerable time before cognitive decline becomes clinically evident. For this reason, the establishment of appropriate nutritional protocols, in the early stage, may be more effective than any drug treatments in the fight against this disease. Ketogenic Diet (KD) is a diet high in fat, adequate-proteins and low carbohydrates producing ketone bodies (KBs) (alternative energy source to glucose for the brain). Nowadays, relations between KBs and cerebral Aβ accumulation are not clear. Most studies focus on the neuronal component and forget the vascular component of AD represented by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), located at the cerebral microvessels level. Consequently, it seems essential to focus on the BBB physiology, and in particular on the BBB’s functions of the receptors/transporters and enzymes involved in Aβ peptide transport and metabolism, to better understand the influence of a KD on the onset and the evolution of this disease. For 4 weeks, Wild type mice (129SV) were maintained on KD and Control Diet (CD). Glucose and Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels were assessed in blood sample. Microvessel fractions were isolated from total brain and qPCR analyses were performed to study expression of transporters, receptors and enzymes involved in amyloid transport and metabolism at the BBB level. KD fed animals showed increased levels of BHB which was accompanied by an increased expression of Monocarboxylate Transporters 1 (MCT1) and Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) at the BBB level. There were not changes in the level of Glucose and body weight in these mice. In addition we observed modifications in the expression of some transporters involved in Aβ exchanges such as Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1). The expression of Aβ synthesis enzymes remains unchanged, instead an increase for the Aβ degradation enzyme Endothelin Converting Enzyme 1 (ECE1) was observed. These preliminary results show that dietary factors and in particular KD can modulate the expression of some actors implicated in brain Aβ metabolism at the BBB level.

description: More than 25% of termite species inhabiting tropical forests of South America build conspicuous nests. Their nests are

remarkable components of the ecosystems composition and influence the biodiversity of a wide variety of organisms from

functional groups other than termites. Thus, the evaluation of abundance and distribution of nests may represent an

additional tool in the analysis of habitat quality in tropical forests. The density and volume of conspicuous nests

were estimated in an east-west direction along Paraiba state, in order to assess the variation of these factors among

the studied areas. The study was carried out in eight areas of the Atlantic Forest domain (including humid highland

forests – "Brejos de Altitude") and Caatinga. The density of nests was estimated from six plots (65 x 20 m) randomly

established. In these plots, all nests with volume > 2,0 liters were analyzed. There was significative variation among

areas in relation to nest density (F=2,4; P=0,03) and volume (F=2,45; P=0,03). Nests had a greater density in Caatinga

areas. The highest density value in this area was represented mainly by \textit{Constrictotermes cyphergaster}, species with strong performance in nutrient cycling in the areas of this domain. There was a negative and significant relationship

between the species composition and the rainfall of the areas (r=-0,71; P=0,04; N=8). The results indicate an influence

of environmental variables, such as rainfall, in nest density and distribution, and in the population size of termites

throughout the studied gradient. Financial support: CNPq, CAPES

description: Basal forebrain neurons control intracortical arterioles by releasing acetylcholine (Ach), which stimulates endothelial cells (ECs) to produce the vasodilating gasotransmitter, nitric oxide (NO). Surprisingly, the mechanism by which Ach induces NO synthesis in brain ECs is still unknown. An increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) recruits a multitude of endothelial Ca2+-dependent pathways, such as Ca2+/Calmodulin endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). The present investigation sought to investigate the role of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in Ach-induced NO production in bEnd5 cells, an established model of mouse brain microvascular ECs. Ach induced dose-dependent asynchronous Ca2+ oscillations in bEnd5 cells. Ach-evoked Ca2+ oscillations did not arise in the absence of external Ca2+ but rapidly resumed on Ca2+ restitution to the bath. However, nicotine, a selective agonist of the Ca2+-permeable nicotinic receptors, did not cause any detectable increase in [Ca2+]i. Pharmacological manipulation indeed revealed that Ach-induced Ca2+ spikes in bEnd5 cells are triggered by the interaction between intracellular Ca2+ release from InsP3 receptors (InsP3Rs) SOCE. Next, we found that Ach-induced NO production was hindered by L-NAME, a selective NOS inhibitor, and BAPTA, a membrane permeable intracellular Ca2+ buffer. Moreover, Ach-elicited NO synthesis was blocked by the pharmacological abrogation of the accompanying Ca2+ spikes. Ach stimulates bEnd5 cells by inducing a burst of intracellular Ca2+ spikes which is patterned by the interplay between ER-dependent Ca2+ mobilization and SOCE. Ach-elicited Ca2+ spikes result in NO production and are, therefore, predicted to control local CBF in mouse brain. Future experiments will assess whether this signaling pathway is altered in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s Disease.

Year: 2008

description: Thema meiner Arbeit ist die Frage, wie „der Mensch“ das ihm körperlich am ähnlichste Tier – „den Affen“ - wahrnimmt, und wie er sich mithilfe dieses Tieres selbst konstruiert und verortet. Ausgehend von dem Wissen, dass „der Affe“ in der frühchristlichen Symbolik des Physiologus’ das Teuflische versinnbildlichte, und diese Aufladung im mittelalterlichen Denken noch wirksam war, untersuche ich, wie und ob sich der Zugang zum Affen im 19. Jahrhundert durch die Theorien der Evolutionisten wandelt, bzw. welche gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen innerhalb der Beschreibung „des Affen“ zum Tragen kommen. Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht die Frage, wie „der Affe“ dargestellt wird, welche Traditionen hier einfließen, welche Widersprüche auftauchen und welche Bedeutungen und Funktionen das Tier für „den Menschen“ hat. Anhand der Untersuchung drei wichtiger deutscher Konversationslexika (Brockhaus’, Meyers und Pierers) kann ich anerkannte gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen darüber herausarbeiten, was „der Affe“ ist, und was „der Mensch“ im Unterschied dazu ist. Die Quellen werden primär durch die Artikel „Affe“ und „Mensch“ gebildet. Indem ich den Inhalt dieser Artikel in der Zeitspanne von 1840 und 1891 gegenüberstelle, habe ich einen Einblick in Kontinuitäten und Brüche der Darstellung „des Affen“ und die Verortung „des Menschen“ und „des Affen“ vor und nach dem Erscheinen der Evolutionstheorie (1859) und Huxleys Abstammungslehre (1863). Ein weiteres Herangehen an die Inhalte der Konversationslexika ist von der Frage geleitet, welche Rolle diese Medien innerhalb der Erzeugung und Verbreitungen gesellschaftlicher Hierarchien einnehmen. Hierzu werden die Konstruktionen von Geschlecht und „Rasse“, die innerhalb der Artikel „Affe“ und „Mensch“ wirksam werden, ebenso wie die zu „Mann“, „Frau“ und den verschiedenen „Rassen“ untersucht. Herausgearbeitet werden Mechanismen, mit denen gesellschaftliche Ungleichheiten in den vorgeblich neutrales Wissen vermittelnden Konversationslexika legitimiert werden.

description: The foraging activities of \textit{Constrictotermes cyphergaster} termites were monitored in an area of dryland caatinga vegetation in northeastern Brazil. Three nests were company during 15 days during each trimester between January/2016 and June/2017 to identify the plant resources used as well as variations in their consumption during the wet and dry seasons. We delimited a 10 m² plot within each of the areas used by each nest to quantify the plant resources most visited by those termites. Fourteen plant species were found to be exploited by \textit{C. cyphergaster}, of which \textit{Croton} spp. (21%), \textit{Mimosa} spp. (17%), \textit{Poincianella pyramidalis} (11%) were the most visited and the most abundant (\textit{Croton} spp. 34.6 individuals/m², \textit{Mimosa} spp. 16 individuals/m², \textit{P. pyramidalis} 10.6 individuals/m²) in both seasons. Temporal variations were observed in the use of the different species in different seasons (F4,30=9.83, P<0.01), with increased visitation in January/2017 during the dry season. The diet of \textit{C. cyphergaster} was observed to be relatively varied, although with greater consumption frequencies of pioneer Caatinga plants as well as the most abundant species within the foraging areas of the colonies. The low consumption specificity of the most abundant Caatinga plant species may help explain the wide distribution of \textit{C. cyphergaster} in that phytophysiognomy. Financial support: CNPq, CAPES

description: In animal models age-related changes occurring in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have not been so far extensively investigated. In particular there are no studies evaluating the entire PNS sensory pathway, more frequently compromised in aged persons. In this study we describe the morphological modifications taking place in the different parts of PNS sensory pathway: intraepidermal nerve fibers (IENF), peripheral nerves and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were examined in the same cohort of C57BL/6 mice over a period of 25 months. Estimate of IENF density is a diagnostic procedure that is gaining increasing interest, but its long-term time-course has not been so far described in relationship with other PNS changes. Sixty-six female mice aged 4 weeks at the beginning of the study were used. Every 2 months sciatic and ventral caudal nerve, L4-5 DRG and hind paw skin specimens were collected and processed for morphological and morphometric analysis from 3 randomly sacrificed mice. Morphological observations were performed at light and electron microscope. In all the samples morphological changes were evident in aged animals: diminished density and degenerative aspects were observed in myelinated fibers both in sciatic and caudal nerves; progressive reduction in IENF density, more striking in the last months of observation; vacuolation and polymorphic inclusions in neurons and satellite cells in DRG, with a significant increase in the nucleolar size. These morphological observations were corroborated also by neurophysiological evaluation. Our study describes changes occurring in healthy aging mice and they reflect the expected course of PNS aging in humans. Therefore, our data might provide the background for mechanistic studies designed to investigate on possible pathophysiological events at the basis of the observed age-related changes in healthy mice PNS allowing the selection of the most appropriate time points according to the investigation aims.

It is known that astrocytes provide homeostasis for neuronal networks, regulate neuronal maturation and synapse formation, modulate neurotransmission, act as progenitor cells in the neurogenic zone, and may influence microglial phagocytosis. On the other hand, they may enhance an inflammatory condition by producing and releasing inflammatory cytokines and amyloid fibrils. Microglial cells are the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system, they remove damaged neurons and dysfunctional synapses in normal and pathological brain. They constantly act as sensor cells in normal brain, their ramified processes constantly scanning brain environment and eventually extending toward their targets. The same molecular pathways characterizing these activities are also utilized by microglia to influence nervous system development and connectivity in the normal and developing brain. However, inflammation may lead to deregulation of microglial cells, resulting in aggravation of disease progression. In this scenario, the comprehension of the interactions occurring between astrocytes and microglial cells, could be essential to get an inclusive synthesis of the evidence on their functions which are constantly accumulating. This study is aimed to verify whether the contacts occurring between astrocyte and microglia processes may undergo significant changes in number and spatial distribution according to different functional states of glial cells. To this aim we performed 3D particle analysis on confocal optical volumes acquired in the CA1 hippocampal region of control- and chronically inflamed- young and old rats.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen genaueren Blick auf die Ernährungslage und die Ess- und Kochkultur der Österreicher/innen von 1945 bis 1965 zu werfen. Es soll auch herausgefunden werden, ob und wie sich die jeweiligen äußeren Umstände in zeitgenössischen Kochbüchern widerspiegeln. Zu diesem Zweck wurde nicht nur die relevante Sekundärliteratur herangezogen, sondern auch eine Kochbuchanalyse auf der Grundlage der Analysekonzepte von Achim Landwehr und Hartmut Stöckl durchgeführt. Dies führte zum Ergebnis, dass sich die äußeren Gegebenheiten deutlich in den Kochbüchern feststellen lassen und deren Inhalt beeinflussen. Somit können Kochbücher einen interessanten Einblick in die Ess- und Kochkultur der Österreicher/innen liefern.
description: The aim of this thesis is to have a closer look at the state of nutrition and the eating and cooking culture of the Austrians from 1945 to 1965. It should be also found out if and how the particular outer circumstances are reflected in contemporary cookery books. Therefore, not only the relevant secondary literature has been used, but also an analysis on the basis of the analysis concepts by Achim Landwehr and Hartmut Stöckl has been carried out. This led to the result that the outer circumstances can be clearly recognized in the cookery books and that they influence their contents. Thus, cookery books can offer an interesting insight into the eating and cooking culture of the Austrians.

description: Protein coordinates were centered in a dodecahedron box with a 1.5 nm distance between protein and unit cell walls. AMBER99SB was used as a force field to describe the whole system. Protein was solvated using the SPC water model. The system was neutralized by replacing water molecules until reaching 0.15 M NaCl mimicking physiological conditions. The neutralized system was energetically minimized for 1000 steps using the steepest descent algorithm. The system was equilibrated at 310 K with an NVT assembly for 1 ns. Subsequently, 5 ns of an NPT equilibration at 310, 350, 400, 450, 500 and 550 K and 1 atm of pressure was used.
Positive-density ground states of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

description: We consider the nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equation at positive density, that is, for a bounded solution not tending to 0 at infinity. We focus on infinite ground states, which are by definition minimizers of the energy under local perturbations. When the Fourier transform of the interaction potential takes negative values we prove the existence of a phase transition at high density, where the constant solution ceases to be a ground state. The analysis requires mixing techniques from elliptic PDE theory and statistical mechanics, in order to deal with a large class of interaction potentials.

description: Nipotency of skew braces is related to certain types of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. This paper delves into the study of centrally nilpotent skew braces. In particular, we study their torsion theory (Section 4.1) and we introduce an "index" for subbraces (Section 4.2), but we also show that the product of centrally nilpotent ideals need not be centrally nilpotent (Example B), a rather peculiar fact. To cope with these examples, we introduce a special type of nilpotent ideal, using which, we define a {\it good} Fitting ideal. Also, a Frattini ideal is defined and its relationship with the Fitting ideal is investigated.
 A key ingredient in our work is the characterisation of the commutator of ideals in terms of absorbing polynomials (Section 3); this solves Problem 3.4 of arXiv:2109.04389. Moreover, we provide an example (Example A) showing that the idealiser of a subbrace (as defined in arXiv:2205.01572v2) does not exist in general.

title: Interkulturelles Management
Creators: name: Hold, Melanie
Year: 2008

description: Die Unternehmenskultur ist mit den Managementstrategien und mit den Unternehmenszielen eng verbunden. Jeder Mitarbeiter/jede Mitarbeiterin eines Unternehmens trägt mit seinen/ihren eigenen Werten und Einstellungen zur Unternehmenskultur bei. Umgekehrt übernehmen sie auch die Werte des Unternehmens und sollen sich mit den Zielen identifizieren können. Die Ausweitung der unternehmerischen Tätigkeit hat dazu geführt, dass die Internationalisierung stetig vorangetrieben wurde. Sie stellt eine besondere Anforderung an das Management, das gefordert ist die gewohnten Strategien und Muster auf die neue Situation zu adaptieren. Unterschiedliche Interessen und Ziele selbst innerhalb des Unternehmens müssen mit jenen des Unternehmens in Einklang gebracht werden. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es einen Überblick über die Begriffe Kultur sowie Unternehmenskultur zu geben. Die wichtigsten Autoren, Vertreter, Ansätze und Typologien werden ansatzweise diskutiert. Der allgemeine Teil dieser Arbeit dient dazu, die theoretischen Erkenntnisse aus der einschlägigen Literatur vorzustellen. Die Arbeit bietet auch einen Überblick über die Ausprägungen der Unternehmenskultur, die anhand der Kulturdimensionen von Hall, Hofstede und neuerer Klassifikationen thematisiert werden. Im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit wird das organisationale Lernen und die Veränderbarkeit von Unternehmenskulturen diskutiert, und das internationale Management wird dem interkulturellem Management gegenübergestellt. Im zweiten Abschnitt stellt die Autorin die Firma Keller Grundbau GmbH, ein international führendes Spezialtiefbau-Unternehmen, und deren Vorgangsweise im Rahmen der Expansion nach Tschechien vor. Dieses Beispiel einer Expansion soll einen Überblick geben, womit sich interkulturelles Management beschäftigen sollte und muss.

description: A tantalizing open problem, posed independently by Stiebitz in 1995 and by Alon in 2006, asks whether for every pair of integers $s,t \ge 1$ there exists a finite number $F(s,t)$ such that the vertex set of every digraph of minimum out-degree at least $F(s,t)$ can be partitioned into non-empty parts $A$ and $B$ such that the subdigraphs induced on $A$ and $B$ have minimum out-degree at least $s$ and $t$, respectively.
 In this short note, we prove that if $F(2,2)$ exists, then all the numbers $F(s,t)$ with $s,t\ge 1$ exist and satisfy $F(s,t)=Θ(s+t)$. In consequence, the problem of Alon and Stiebitz reduces to the case $s=t=2$. Moreover, the numbers $F(s,t)$ with $s,t \ge 2$ either all exist and grow linearly, or all of them do not exist.
